Since Hebrew and Greek letters have numerical equivalents (i.e., A=1, 6=2, J=10), the number of the beast (666) is the sum of the separate letters of his name. Of countless explanations, the most probable is Neron Caesar (in Hebrew letters), which, if spelled without the final n, also accounts for a variant reading, 616.
Nero was the Roman Emperor from 54-68 AD. The book of âRevelations,â originally a Hebrew/Jewish book written about 66 AD, was plagiarized by Christians, who added stuff about Jesus at the beginning and end.
New Testament âscholarsâ erroneously/deliberately mistranslate the classical Greek word charagma as âmark' rather than money. Look the word up in the unabridged Greek lexicon by H.B. Liddell and see the correct, in context translation is money.
In 66 AD, the Jews revolted against the Romans and coined their own money. Therefore, the âRevelationâ is: âNero the Beastâs money is evil and our Jewish money is good.â
Another related word for "Money" not translated correctly in the New Testament is âMammonâ. âMammonâ is an Aramaic word for money (Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics 1951, sv, âMammon.â). The classical Greek word philarguron, mistranslated as âcovetousnessâ in some New Testament bibles, at Luke 16:14 and as âmoneyâ In 1 Timothy 6:10, means fond of silver. Silver was the money of Christâs day hence, Luke 16, in context reads, âYou cannot serve God and money (mammon): youâll either love the one and hate the other ... the Pharisees (Jews) who loved money (philarguron), heard all this and scoffed.â
"No one buys or sells without the MONEY of the beast on/in mind/hand. . . This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666" (Rev. 13:16-18).

A British redneck, skinhead (not necessarily neo-Nazi), hooligan, tough-guy who, among other things will punch out a pretty boy with longish hair.
Piker just punched me in the mouth.
I just got back from London where I attended a three day rock festival. I got crushed by pikers near the front of the stage. A very handsome young man, with longish hair (like a Beatle haircut) and gorgeous GFs sat down next to me with a swolen eye said a Piker just punched him.
