The Numerical Stamp of the Beast in Roman Numerals

(2 Thessalonians 2 Amp)  

³ Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed], ⁴ Who opposes and exalts himself [so proudly and so insolently] above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he [actually enters and] takes his seat in the temple of God, publicly proclaiming that he himself is God.

This came as an answer to a quiz question (The Chase most likely).  What is the sum of the key (unique) Roman numerals used? The answer is 1666!!  (as below).  Many doves would be aware of this, but I thought that it is interesting given the difficulties being faced in the Old Roman Empire (Europe), especially (but not only} Brexit. 

I                       1

V                     5

X                     10

L                      50

C                     100

D                     500

M                     1000               

 

These seven numerals add to 1666 and are taken from the Roman alphabet and are not used extensively today, although some clocks use these numerals.  The eleventh hour is Xi, reflected in the current of Chinese leader President Xi Jinping.  Interesting also that if you combine highest and lowest number you get IM (IAM).  The Beast in the Temple declares I AM God!!.  Maranatha!!
