Recapitulated Apostasy - For those who have Ears to Hear - Six Hundred and Sixty Six the Hidden Meaning by George Stanley Faber.
This is one of the excellent books by Scholar George Stanley Faber
(see his work on the History of the Cabiri [ancien paganism] or the history of
Trinitarianism and its actual true historic roots in the Ancient Christian Church).
Maybe Faber's fluency in Latin, and Attic and Koine Greek did not hurt. His work is often a complement to books such as the Two Babylons by Hislop, which documents the hidden history of the Pagan Doctrines imported into the early Roman Catholic Church of the 4th Century.
This work by Faber is the explanation for the ancient prophecies of the books of Daniel and Revelation, which must be read together in order to make sense.
(the work Vanished into thin Air provides the modern explanation by Hal Lindsey. The earlier classic is simply called "Jesus is coming" by blackstone, which speaks about the Return of Christ. It was a Million Copy bestseller in the 1800s.)

But anyway, Faber [George STANLEY Faber, not to be confused with others of same name] explains the legal meaning and the symbolic, historical and exegetical meaning behind the global cashless system which requires and contains the hidden number 666 within the mark to be made mandatory and obligatory, which will be mandated on the whole planet [sooner than later ?] either on the Right Hand or Forehead. The KJV (1611), and the version of Jay Green do speak accurately of these verses, but the explanation of the procedures described by Charles Lea in his History of the Inquisition, lays the groundwork for WHY the Vatican assisted economic system, has the Legal Right from long ago to exclude those who refuse to pay homage and addoration to those that the Pope has mandated (the Vatican has never renounced this and reaffirmed this at Vatican I in 1870, according to Dollinger / also called Janus).
