Maybe its only hidden from those without God's wisdom and understanding.
Rev_13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

LOOK at what it says, and get your eyes off numbers, if you truly want to be wise.

Proverbs 2:1-6 (KJV)
[SUP]
1 [/SUP] My son,
if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
[SUP]
2 [/SUP] So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;
[SUP]
3 [/SUP] Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
[SUP]
4 [/SUP] If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as
for hid treasures;
[SUP]
5 [/SUP] Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP]
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
cometh knowledge and understanding.
Acts 17:11 (NIV)
[SUP]
11 [/SUP] Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for
they received the message with great eagerness and
examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
The Quest of hidden knowledge in numbers is a FALSE DOCTRINE, that is NOT how you gain Wisdom.
