First off, the koine Greek word for man can be singular but many don’t recognize that it’s actually the generic form for “mankind” consisting of male and female; peoples. If you research which beast this refers to, the understanding of which context will make sense. Secondly, the Greek for number isn’t always a literal number. It also has the meaning of a multitude or numerous assemblage. If you recognize the beast, you’ll recognize the mystery
Edit: Lastly, what is the importance of 600, 60 and 6 rather than 666? Have you ever looked into that?
In Greek the only way to write a number like 666 is 600, 60 and 6. There is no 666 in Greek like in English. The three numbers are meant to be added together as one, not to be understood as 3 separate numbers. I suppose that may not forbid a person's 3 names to add to 600, 60 and a third number adding to 6 but I lean away from that being what Rev 13 means.
