In today's video we're taking a look at the evidence between the Mark of the Beast being 616 or 666. Have we been wrong for the last 1700 years of church history? Regardless of your eschatology, this is an important variant, and despite the recent questioning of this passage by some scholars, there's still good reason to maintain that the Holy Scriptures have 666 as the inspired reading.
