Such a long list of possibilities for the identity of the beast.
Sadly, the number is a human number. The number of man who was created on the sixth day, for it is a human number. The imperfect day. Our inheritance is such that we are all the beast. You, me, your best friend, and your Pastor/Priest. In order to gain salvation, Christ must conquer us completely and utterly. When our Adam nature is passed through the Lake of Fire and we emerge on the other side, we shall be as Christ.
The Old Testament is but an ensample of what will take place in each and every one of us as we are perfected in the refiners fire. For is it not written that your trials of faith are likened unto gold that is refined in the fire? Is it not the work of the threshing floor to separate the grain within us from the chaffe that must be burned? Is it not written that all men must taste of the fire, though our worm dieth not?
666 is our number. It is our Adamic nature. Stop looking outside yourself and look deep within. When we fail to do this, we cast our own shadow onto the other. We must be like Jesus when He cleaned His Father's Temple. That outward Temple that is no more, for you are the Temple now. Jesus did not clean the Temples of Baal or Isis or Caesar. He cleaned His own. So too should we follow His example, and cast not our own shadow onto others. Let Christ who dwells in you do His work. If we do not, then we will experience the pain and the agony and the earthquakes and wars and rumors of war all within our own being.
Blessings
