As a result of a challenge I received on another forum (Christianity Today forums) I was able to link the name of Chairman Xi to the mystery number of the beast. X is the 24th letter and I is the 9th letter. 24 x 9 = 216 = 6 x 6 x 6 I received the challenge because I had already mentioned the parallels in the prophecy (Rev 13) and the present circumstances, but my closest guess as to how Xi got the number was that he was 66 years, 6 months old a year ago when the virus escaped...
