|And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
|The number of the cavalrymen were two hundred million; I heard that number.
|The Greek number is given as '''δισμυριαδες μυριαδων''', literally "two myriads of myriads." This is exactly how a Greek would say a number equivalent to two hundred million.It could also stand for "twenty thousand divisions" or "two divisions of divisions." Ancient armies often named their military units after the nearest round (and imprecise) number, e.g. "hundred" for "company", "thousand" for "cohort" or "regiment", and "myriad" for "division."

|And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
|And representative members of the peoples and clans and languages and ethnic groups will watch their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be buried.

|Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
|Here is a matter for insight. Anyone who can understand, can calculate the number of the ravener. It is a man's number, and that number is 666.
|Literally, '''χξς''', or the letters chi, xi, and stigma, which is how a Greek would write the number 666. It might also be a Greek letterword for the words ''Khristos'', ''xulon'', and ''stavros''—Christ, wood, cross. That, of course, points to the true role of this false prophet: he pretends to be Christ, even to enacting a travesty of the Crucifixion.
