Thank you for bringing the group to my attention. I had never heard of this Miami FL group. 20 years and growing, wow.
I saw a CNN report on youtube after seeing your question posted. I have yet to see the 666 story though. Feel free to edit your question a post a link to the new break in the story. Thanks!

I saw a blimp on Houston's news about this man. He was interviewed and said while in jail he accepted Jesus and Jesus came to live in him, thus, he became Jesus. Several people who have heard him preach say he sounds much like Joel Olsten although Olsten understands the concept that Jesus abides within the saved without making the Christian literally Jesus.

Peter tells us in clear language that the heavens (space, planets, stars...) and earth will be destroyed at Jesus' return.
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. He is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything in it. 11 So everything will be destroyed. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.
EVERYONE will know it when Jesus returns. There will be no doubting or confusion about who is "in charge" or who Jesus really is.
John's figurative language in Revelation most likely is NOT about Jesus' return...
1. Jesus taught that his kingdom was not earth based. John 18:36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not part of this world. If it were, those who serve me would fight. They would try to keep the Jews from arresting me. My kingdom is from another place.”
2. Jesus taught that his kingdom would come in those people's lifetimes. Luke 9:27 “What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see God’s kingdom.” ... the kingdom is here RIGHT NOW!
3. Revelation identifies the events it describes as happening "quickly." (Beginning and end: 1:1 & 22:6) This same Greek phrase is used in Acts 12:7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared. A light shone in the prison cell. The angel struck Peter on his side. Peter woke up. “Quick!” the angel said. “Get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s wrists... It indicates a very rapid fulfillment, NOT something hundreds of years away.
4. Revelation uses figurative language to describe spiritual realm events. Our interpretation of the statements must not conflict with "clear language" passages elsewhere. Peter and Paul both write about Jesus' return. Our understanding must properly consider ALL of the statements IN THEIR CONTEXTS.
... Jesus IS REIGNING RIGHT NOW. THAT is the fulfillment of the 1000 years in John's prophecy. Just like the Jews who opposed Jesus, many Christians are stuck on an earthly view of the kingdom which misses its true significance.
Paul wrote in 1Thes 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them. We will be taken up in the clouds. We will meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with him forever...
The passages from Peter and Paul do not indicate that Jesus will come TO EARTH, but that we will SEE him and GO with him. Peter tells us that earth will be destroyed. NO ONE will live here any more.
Clearly these passages are in conflict with the pop-theology "rapture" which is so commonly taught today. It is improper to interpret scripture in a way that it conflicts with itself.
