Who changed Revelations 13:18 to 666? Because God's numerology was extremely specific that the beast number is six hundred three score and six! Which breaks down to 600 + 60 + 6. But now they are trying to say it's 6 + 6 + 6?
Interesting comment on 666. Never heard it put that way. It parallels the Holy Trinity, yet they are opposites in nature.
Your second to last paragraph caught my attention and I want to make sure I understand it. The way I'm reading it is that God willfully (purposely) created man a little short of completeness and perfection. Ok, so I'm thinking perfection and completeness are absolutes, i.e. no degrees/levels, in between. Therefore something perfect is perfect and nothing else, and what is imperfect is like itself and nothing else. What is perfect cannot waiver or change or it wasn't created/made perfect in the beginning. I have difficulty believing a perfect/holy Source can create short of perfection. To believe so is to open wide the probability of an unholy source producing its opposite; holiness. James 3:11,12 establishes the basic principal that things produce their self, and sets a premise that opposing effects cannot flow from the same cause (source).
You also stated a man "falls short of completeness because he's a sinner". May I propose a man is a sinner if if he's made imperfect and incomplete. Conversely, what is sinless is created from a perfect/sinless source. My apologies if it appears I'm being controversial. Yet, if something doesn't seem reasonable, I gotta ask. I hope I haven't misconstrued anything you stated.
6th Seal, 6th Vial, and 6th Trumpet (666) it is a number and they all pertain/describe to the beast, and his coming.
Satan comes at the 6th trump, 6th vial and 6th seal, Christ comes at the 7th.
What are these seals? The Knowledge of God's Word, To know God's word, His Plan.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
6th seal, You need to know Satan will appear in Jerusalem and says he is God by imitating the Messiah
What are the Trumpets? Trumpets are the actions, what's going to happen, when the trumpets sounds.
Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates(tribulation)time of Jacobs Trouble.
What are the Vials? The wraths of God poured out.
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water there of was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
The Seals are whats in the vials, and are poured out when the Trumpet sounds,,,, there are 7 seals, vials and trumpets,,,
Whoever " REVELATION 13:18 STUDY HELPS" is, they have shared some good things. I would like to just piggyback on what has already been shared with some things I have learned.
Revelation 13:18, 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.
Now you probably know that there are books by the millions out there adding up people's names, putting numerical equivalence to alphabet numbers, and adding up people's names to be six hundred and sixty-six. This has been going on for a long time.
But from everything I read in Revelation Chapter 13, what I see is that it is telling us that there is Satan's trinity, (if you would). The dragon, the antichrist, and the false prophet are the shadows of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Here is what I am seeing: Let him that understands count the number of the beast, (and notice this): For it is the number of man, not "a man," not "the man," just man.
Adam was created on the sixth day. Six is the number that is one less than perfection or completeness. So all the way through scripture it was the number of man. Man was created by God, but he falls short of completeness because he's a sinner. He says for it is the number of man; and his number is 666, not six hundred and sixty-six.
You see, it's the number six three times. It's the number of man, and each six stands for one of the three in Satan's trinity. It doesn't add up to six hundred and sixty-six. It's six three times! And that's the number that a person must take to function in the one world government that's about to come to pass here on the earth.

What does Revelation 13:18 mean? [ See verse text ]
Speculation about the meaning of the number 666, the number of the beast, has been intriguing but futile. Some individuals have assigned a numeric value to the letters of the alphabet and applied the values to names. Political figures, popes, and dictators have been subject to such a numeric system. It's important to remember that there are only so many numerals-only ten, in fact-and only so many letters in any given alphabet. Given enough time and creativity, almost any name can be connected or manipulated into some connection with 666.
Other possibilities abound. Some are more obscure, and unlikely, than others. Ezra 2:13 gives the number of descendants of Adonikam as 666. Because "Adonikam" means "the lord who rises up" or "lord of the enemy," a few interpreters suggest the beast who rises from the earth will bear the name Adonikam. The mathematical value of 6x6x6 is 216, leading some to believe that this number, not "six hundred and sixty six" will be the "number of the name" of the beast.
In reality, no one knows exactly what 666 means. We can only draw on basic concepts to understand some of its implications. For example, 6 is one short of 7, which is the biblical number of perfection. The number 6 represents imperfection and is therefore man's number. God is perfectly holy-thrice holy-as the seraphim of Isaiah's vision proclaim. They called to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts" ( Isaiah 6:3). Repeating this three times emphasizes its absolute nature. By contrast, imperfect man is unholy, unholy, unholy: 6-6-6.

To count is a study in of itself.
The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters/numbers and the Greek has 24.
The Greek for this number 600, 60, 6 are three letters, which by Gematria = 666
Numbers are used in scripture, not just as in nature with supernatural design, but with spiritual significance, whereby 6 denotes the Human number.
Man was created on the 6th day, and this first occurrence of the number makes it (and all multiples of it) the hall-mark of connected with man.
Satan comes at the 6th trump, 6th vial and 6th seal, Christ comes at the 7th.
What are these seals? The Knowledge of God's Word, To know God's word, His Plan.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
