And yet, in the whole Apocalypse of John, there are often many long numbers but they are all written in letters. In the following, I am quoting some passages:
Revelation 21:17 “Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.”
Revelation 14:3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
But in the most ancient version, I presume that’s the greek one, are the numbers written in figures or letters?
