The JIOR interpretation of the 666 is as follows:
BACKGROUND: Please note the 666-Beast is not all comprehensive but specifically has a companion Beast, the Lamb-Dragon Beast. The 666-Beast comes "out of the SEA" and the Lamb-Dragon-False Prophet comes "out of the earth". The sea represents many unstable doctrines while the earth more stable, Biblical doctrine. Thus the "sea" is interpreted to represent Christendom's masses and the "earth" the witness organization, with the L-D Beast coming out of the earth representing the apostate leaders of the WTS who apostasize during the last days (2 Thes. 2:4).
With that in mind, we know this beast represents Christendom and it's general masses. The 666 is thus a fitting acknowledgement of it's primary false teaching, the TRINITY doctrine, which is one way we identify the beast as representing Christendom.
But it also represents basically the Eurocentric society of Western culture which dominates and world. Thus the one head that received a death stroke and then revived represents Nazi Germany who was defeated during WWII but has now made a complete comeback, becoming the strongest economy in Europe. But the fact that most generally, in the world at large, you can divide the major religions up culturally, the European culture is the one which adopted and is most associated with Christianity, almost being synonymous.
TURNING THE NUMBER INTO A NAME: As was posted above, this does involve some playing around with numerology. The thing is to come up with the correct formula that would be consistent with Christendom or culture dominated by Christendom.
The Hebrew alphabet can be found in the Bible at various places in Psalms, including Psalms 111 which eerily suggests a connection to the secret of the number.
Of course, the trinity is a "mystery" since it claims three gods are one god. This is the secret to the formula of the 666 being turned into a name. Obviously if you will substitute the the numbers for a letter then the ultimate name will represent some philosophy or organization associated with Christendom.
But I think there are only three basic combinations that would be logically considered.
1. Simply subsitute the three 6's with the 6th letter of the alphabet. W is the sixth letter so we get "WWW" ???
2. You can add the total number of of the digits, which is 18 and substitute that number, giving you "TTT" ???
3. Or you can add the sumof the digits plus the number which is 18+3 giving you the 21st letter which is "Sin" and you get "SSS". Sin in triplicate is suggested since this is a MAN's number and the number of imperfect man is 6. So there might be something to that. But what does a beast called "SSS" mean in modern terms?
4. OR, you can be smarter than that and relate this calculation to the trinity way of numbering things which claims 3 gods are 1 god. In this case, the number of the digits, though 3, since they are all the same, are also 1. Thus after the sum of 18, instead of adding a total number of 3 digits, you only add 1, since there are not three different digits but just one. That gives us 19. The 19th letter is "Koph" or "Qoph" which becomes: "KKK" Now that is an abbreviation for a specific modern group and concept. The question is, can we apply this in any way to Christendom. Well, since this is a modern symbol for white supremacy and Eurocentricity, could it be said that Euro-Christian culture practices white supremacy to the point of being characteristic? Of course. And of particular note, the beast that is focussed on that received the death stroke and revived, also identified as the "disgusting thing in the holy place" was Nazi Germany, certainly an entity we can apply the meaning of "KKK" to, including it's cultic, "mysteries" roots. Historically, the white supremacist groups labelling themselves as KKK emerged after the Civil War ended slavery and had their roots in Freemasonry, whose tenets are quite Eurocentric. But white supremacist ideas were a root part of the "mysteries" since it had to do with trying to use knowledge and wisdom to elevate and convert the ordinary man to higher levels until he achieved godship. Convenient doctrines such as evolution, when showing race charts and the development of men, for instance, show the Aryan man at the end of the evolutionary scale with Jews and Asians somewhere in the middle and Africans always at the bottom right next to the monkey. A lot of cultural literature deals with racial hatred themes relating to Europeans who consider it betrayal to marry into another race; and some of the "greatest men" or most celebrated in the way of "human rights", Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mandela, etc. became celebrated because of their efforts against European defference to the humanity of those with darker skin their theirs, or in some cases, those not Christian. Plus the greatest atrocity of all time committed by Christians, the HOLOCAUST was the ultimate development of what white supremacy is really all about, which is exterminating, if necessary, that which intereferes with the priorities of the Aryo-European. Thus the invasion of Poland had to do with "lieberstraum" (sp), that is, "living space" for the Germans which meant, simply, that the Poles and Jews had to be exterminated in the process.
So all-in-all, if the name of the beast is really "KKK" it would be understandable, even if only being a name that could only be European, that is, this would identify this beast as being a predominantly white-oriented beast which Christendom certainly is, especially with the focus on Nazi Germany as the head that received the death stroke and revived.
One might say: "If the name fits......."
But please note folks, it certainly is NOT an individual. We can see that right? How do you kill off one head of an individual? What single man has had that much control over the "sea"?
So the Beast represents Christendom's culture.
The 666 reflects it's primary belief in the false trinity doctrine.
And the conversion of 666 into a name, that is, into letters, has modern significance when converted by the trinity formula to "KKK" reflecting the Aryano-Euro-centric nature of Christendom and it's long history for suppressing other, non-white cultures and representing themselves as generally smarter and superior to all other races of mankind.
