666 or 616?

616 vs 666
Since discovering in one of my bibles foot notes about 616 back in 1990 I have
searched for other comments about it. It seems to have had very little commentary
compared to the more famous one of 666. As noted in some commentaries there
are a couple other numbers given in manuscripts also. Many will have their views
about what the number 616 may mean just as with 666. So here is mine.
In the simplest form of understanding one should realize in context the
information that is given. Note the following informational points given.

1.    First and foremost we are dealing with an "end times prophesy". So it must
relate to the present, or future.
2.    This prophesy affects the worlds economy and commerce. It is control of
some kind that is exerted by, and controlled by a world power today.
3.    It seems to be about two world powers where one gives power to another
to control all nations that carry it's mark of authority.
4.    The "mark" should be recognizable to all and be well known as it causes the
whole world to follow it.
5.    Great signs will be seen, even fire coming down from heaven. Many marvels
would be seen by all.
    There are a few more indicators as to what this all represents as you can read
in the bibles for yourselves at Revelations chapter 13. But, here is what I have to
say about it all.

If we are in the "end times, last days", then there should be clear indicators of
these world powers and their signs and marks. Given those conditions it would
seem very likely that the United States is the one with the technology and the
capability to do those miracles, and they have. It is also the power that pushes
democracy on all that wish to enjoy the fruits of high technology. Using the
United Nations to front it's push for democracy around the world it has forced all
most all nations to wear that "mark".

In the most simple way this mark can be shown as;
600 is the Roman Numeral equivalent of DC. The very seat of power that
pushes democracy on the world is Washington, District of Columbia, DC.
The very address of the White House is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but was
16 Pennsylvania Avenue to begin with.
