The six sixty six is a symbol for John Calvin.
Start with the number of the year he died (1564), then subtract the number of years Satan is bound (1000, Rev
20:2), then add the 40 years the Israelits wondered in the wilderness (Num 14:33), then add the 50 prophets of Baal (
1 Kings 18:19 ), add the ten horns of the ten kings in
Daniel 7:7 , and finally add the 2 mites the widow gave in
Luke 21:2 and you get 666.
Voila, the age old mystery solved.

No, I'm not. I followed verses and read the verses. The numbers in and of themselves mean nothing in this study. They only serve to direct us to the next relevant verse. Any derived meaning is from the verses not their number. That is not numerology.

But you are imposing a meaning on these verse numbers when they are accidental. You are saying they are not accidental, right?

Very funny, but actually this is mostly math and not numerology. Numerology would would look at each number and figure a meaning for it, and then maybe put them together.

I am saying that it is a very compelling coincidence.

Compelling implies you think there is a meaning. There are a lot of coincidences that meant nothing more than the fact that they are coincidences. Especially using verse numbers, which mean nothing and are arbitrary.
