Good grief. Not another one.
666 (616 in Latin versions) refers to Nero. See also Nero Redivivus.
It has no relevance whatsoever to anything happing now.

4. Historical References--Nero Caesar
Some theologians propose that 666 was originally a cryptic reference to Emperor Nero, a brutal persecutor of early Christians. In Hebrew numerology (gematria), Nero's name can add up to 666, making this interpretation plausible. According to this view, Revelation spoke about Rome's oppression rather than a future figure.

I don’t care if you think you ‘dealt with’ it (the actually correct meaning) already. You’re spouting superstitious nonsense about supposed ‘modern fulfilment’, like so many before you. Just go away.

Those that claim there is a "later fulfilment" are obviously unable to read the plain words of the Bible Writers and absorb and take on board what they mean.
For example, the Writer of "Revelation" makes abundantly plain that he expected his predictions to be fulfilled shortly after the time in which he wrote, within a few years.
Other Bible Writers plainly state the same, about their predictions.
How on earth can an honest person put weight on SOME words that were written, and ignore the Context and plain statements that are in front of them ?
I put such people, J.W org. being huge offenders of course, on a par with Conspiracy Theorists.
