How is a coin engraved, carved or scuplted into a person's right hand or forehead, exactly?
Look at a US quarter. You'll see it is marked with George Washington's forehead.

The word for "in" (not "on", btw) you are translating as "of", which is incorrect.

And yes, this diatribe about Nero is to obscure that this has not happened yet, and awaits all of us in the future.

And his eye, and his ear, and his neck, and his mouth. What's your point? This doesn't relate to the passage. Where's his right hand? Do we wanna know?

Let me guess... if we look at a quarter under a microscope will we see something on George Washington's forehead?

The word is not "in". It's written in Greek.

The extended right hand is on the back of the coin in question:

What do you mean where is his right hand? Where is his left hand, where is his torso, and his left and right leg? Why does he have long hair tied at the back? Was he a floating head hippy back in the sixties? If he's the father of our country does this mean we are all related... where did he find the time to father so many kids? And if I ask any more dumb questions what are the chances I might be mistaken for a confused Christian or atheist?

Do you think a Christian disagreeing with you over the interpretation of this prophesy warrants them being labelled as a "Christian atheist", even in jest?

If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a man's number. His number is 666.

N = 50
R = 200
W = 6
N = 50

C = 100
S = 60
R = 200

Add 'em up

Surely you jest.

You don't need a microscope to see that the US quarter has a mark of Washington's forehead.

Some of your posts on this thread seem to suggest that unless a Christian agrees with you over this issue, you question their Christian beliefs, You have used the words "unbeliever" and "atheist". I know it's probably just a variation on the peculiar internecine 'you're-not-a-True-Christian' banter that crops up here from time to time among Christians, but I am interested to hear whether you actually and sincerely believe that your personal interpretation of the "meaning" of technology as we see it now in 2015 (in terms of Revelation) is somehow a core Christian belief that other Christians ought not to disagree with.
