Interestingly, there is one individual in Scripture that walked around with God's name literally in his forehead:
<blockquote>And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of
a signet, HOLINESS TO
THE LORD. And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon
the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. And
it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD. (Ex. 28:36-38) </blockquote> Even more interesting is the fact that this golden plate was engraved like a "signet," a word that means a "seal." Thus Aaron and every high priest after him had the seal of God upon his forehead. This parallel to Revelation appears to be more than coincidental.
Aaron represented Jesus, our great high priest in the temple in heaven. The beast, then, could be a counterfeit high priest, an idea that Daniel 8:11 also supports. Thus, if we can find a counterfeit high priest on earth today, one that wears a miter, a miter that at some point in time had upon it the name of the beast, and if that name adds up to 666, then we have found the fulfillment of this prophecy.
The November 15, 1914, issue of the Catholic publication, Our Sunday Visitor, stated that
The title of the Pope in Rome is Vicarius Filii Dei [Latin for "Vicar of the Son of God"]. This is inscribed on his mitre; and if you take the letters of his title which represent Latin numerals (printed red) and add them together they come to 666.
V I C A R I V S F I L I I D E I
5 1 100 1 5 1 50 1 1 500 1
Incredibly, this Catholic publication did indeed show how to add the name up to arrive at 666, and their math is obviously correct. (Note that a U is the equivalent of a V in Roman numerals.)
This connection between Vicarius Filii Dei and 666 is anything but new. The first person we know of to make this connection was Andreas Helwig in 1612 in his book The Roman Antichrist.

I'm not sure why you are bringing this up but, of course, vicar of the Son of God, means, vicarious Christ, acting in the place of, or instead of, Christ.
VICARIOUS1
a :
serving instead of someone or something else b : that has been delegated <vicarious authority>
2
: performed or suffered by one person as
a substitute for another or to the benefit or advantage of another : substitutionary <a vicarious sacrifice>
This is the very definition of antichrist. The 'anti' in antichrist means 'instead of.'
And, of course, they knew this when they gave him that title, because, unlike us, they could speak Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

It replaces the crown of thorns, representing a curse of the mind being restored to a purified mind.
It was a stone that penetraited the mind of Goliath, fragments of the law killed him, but only when his head was removed completely did victory come to a nation.
Beheading ourselves for Christ is required because we don't represent the head, we're the body and it's Christ who is the head, the highest authority.
Interesting to note about the head is, 4 of the 5 senses are in the head.

And the whole body "touches" only through the HEAD!

Awesome postage dude!
I don't agree with this. There are many names in history that add too 666.
EZE 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal (signet) of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

True. But some names seem to be more relevant. Also there will be many 666-persons
