Revelation 13:16-18
New International Version

16 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, 17 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.

18 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.

Solomon's Wealth and Splendor
(1 Kings 10:14"29)

13The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents, not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.

15King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield. 16He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

(The reference to Solomon being a foreshadowing of the AC is because in his old age he lost wisdom, built Temples to many of his foreign wives' gods in Jerusalem, including to Ba-al, and was enamored of all things GOLD.)

17Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 18The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.

19Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.

20All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

21For the king had the ships of Tarshishi that went with Hiram'sj servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."

"It uses a rocket booster as well as a throttleable ramjet motor that can continue to power the missile until impact, allowing for late-stage maneuverability. That capability increases its kill-zone compared to more common rocket-powered air-to-air missiles that coast after their initial boost.

Saab lists Meteor's range as more than 100 kilometers and its speed at over Mach 4, though the range is regularly reported as being around 200 kilometers.

Meteor was "arguably the most capable AAM currently in service on Western combat aircraft," the London-based International Institute for Security Studies wrote in a report in September 2022."

If Vlad blinks at all in the negotiations, this could be a factor. But then, he'll just break any agreement that's made anyway when he can.

And everyone knows this.
