I read in this commentary about the Book of Revelations that the number 666 is the number used to represent the Messiah.
Correction: not the the Messiah, but a Messiah.
I’ve read Revelation enough.

Neither 666 or 616 have anything to do with Judaism or Kabbalah. Gematria- the learning fo hidden messages through numerical equivalencies would result in the following:
Mashiach:
Mem- 40
shin – 300
yed- 10
chet- 8 (the numerial value of a final letter is the same even though the form is different than when used elsewhere)
Total= 358
Nero
Nun- 50
yud- 10
reish 200
vav (long form of the vowel oh)- 6
Total- 266
Nero can be spelt with a "hey" at the end and a short form of the "oh" vowel- but that reduces the count by 1 (hey=5)
So- for mashiach you have 358, for nero 266 (or 265). Neither have any resemblance to the numbers in revelations. Not too surprising since Revelations is NOT a jewish book nor a book that has ever been part of Judaism.

Its a mistranslation.
The number is 616 and its the number of the beast.

It is the mark of the beast not of God.

It represents the Emperor Nero. It was a number code the Jews used

666 is the number for the Roman Emperor Nero.
616 is the number for the Devil.
But I think everyone uses 666 because it’s more marketable than 616. 666 justs look more evil than 616.

That’s the Antichrist’s number in Revelation (no "s" at the end) 13. You may want to actually read it yourself instead of taking everyone else’s word for it.

…the meaning behind the numbers 666 and 616 have always been in dispute..from what I’ve heard, the number 616 is supposed to represent Nero..bar codes and serial numbers are said to be certain Marks of The Beast
