Hoax?
Anything in the Bible is a hoax for you.
Revelation 13 New International Version (NIV)
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
“If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive
a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
This calls for wisdom. Let
the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.
That number is 666.

The bible says this calls for wisdom
The person should have insight [those dumb need not apply]
It is the number of the beast
The beast is a man
His number is 666.
It is not a phone number.
Or a room number.
It is a title of the man.

Vicarius Filii Dei (Latin:
Vicar or Representative of the Son of God)
Official list of titles
The official list of titles of the pope, in the order in which they are given in the
Annuario Pontificio, is:
Bishop of
Rome,
Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the
Prince of the Apostles,
Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church,
Primate of Italy,
Archbishop and Metropolitan of the
Roman Province,
Sovereign of the
Vatican City State,
Servant of the servants of God.
[99]
The best-known title, that of "Pope", does not appear in the official list, but is commonly used in the titles of documents, and appears, in abbreviated form, in their signatures. Thus
Pope Paul VI signed as "Paulus PP. VI", the "PP." standing for "
papa pontifex" ("pope and pontiff").
[100][101][102][103][104]
The title "Pope" was from the early 3rd century an honorific designation used for
any bishop in the West.
[19] In the East, it was used only for the
Bishop of Alexandria.
[19] Pope Marcellinus (d. 304) is the first Bishop of Rome shown in sources to have had the title "Pope" used of him. From the 6th century, the imperial chancery of
Constantinople normally reserved this designation for the Bishop of Rome.
[19] From the early 6th century, it began to be confined in the West to the Bishop of Rome, a practice that was firmly in place by the 11th century,
[19] when
Pope Gregory VII declared it reserved for the Bishop of Rome.[

In
Eastern Christianity, where the title "Pope" is used also of the Bishop of Alexandria, the Bishop of Rome is often referred to as the "Pope of Rome", regardless of whether the speaker or writer is in communion with Rome or not.[

Vicar of Jesus Christ
"Vicar of Jesus Christ" (
Vicarius Iesu Christi) is one of the official titles of the Pope given in the
Annuario Pontificio. It is commonly used in the slightly abbreviated form "Vicar of Christ" (
Vicarius Christi). While it is only one of the terms with which the pope is referred to as "Vicar", it is "more expressive of his supreme headship of the Church on Earth, which he bears in virtue of the commission of Christ and with vicarial power derived from him", a vicarial power believed to have been conferred on Saint Peter when Christ said to him: "Feed my lambs...Feed my sheep" (
John 21:16–17).
[105]
The first record of the application of this title to a Bishop of Rome appears in a synod of 495 with reference to
Pope Gelasius I.
[106] But at that time, and down to the 9th century, other bishops too referred to themselves as vicars of Christ, and for another four centuries this description was sometimes used of kings and even judges,
[107] as it had been used in the 5th and 6th centuries to refer to the
Byzantine emperor.
[108] Earlier still, in the 3rd century,
Tertullian used "vicar of Christ" to refer to the
Holy Spirit[109][110] sent by Jesus.
[111] Its use specifically for the pope appears in the 13th century in connection with the reforms of
Pope Innocent III,
[108] as can be observed already in his 1199 letter to
Leo I, King of Armenia.
[112] Other historians suggest that this title was already used in this way in association with the pontificate of
Pope Eugene III (1145–1153).
[106]
This title "Vicar of Christ" is thus not used of the pope alone and has been used of all bishops since the early centuries.
[113] The
Second Vatican Council referred to all bishops as "vicars and ambassadors of Christ",
[114] and this description of the bishops was repeated by
Pope John Paul II in his encyclical
Ut unum sint, 95. The difference is that the other bishops are vicars of Christ for their own local churches, the pope is vicar of Christ for the whole Church.
[115]
On at least one occasion the title "
Vicar of God" (a reference to Christ as God) was used of the pope
Pope - Wikipedia
That is why the Bible is alive and active
We know who it is
It already given a mark to all people
A mark of the beast
And that is a man of the beast
He has a title -
Vicar or Representative of the Son of God or Vicar of God" (a reference to Christ as God)
And that corresponds to the number 666
Its all in the Bible
But to you its a hoax
The hoax is the wall which Mexico is going to pay.
Turns out Canada is going to pay for it.
