I dont understand what you are saying, The Bible clearly states that the woman is a City; one which sits on seven hills.
The ancient city of Rome was originally built on the topographical layout of seven separate hills. These seven hills were joined together by the ancient walls of Rome- the Servian walls. The Seven Hills of Rome lie in the east to the Tiber River. Later many more areas were annexed to the city. The city walls were extended to include them also and the city is now much bigger than its original territory. The Vatican and Vatican hill are included in the Areas that were added to the city much later in history.
The seven hills are, namely:
The Quirinal Hill
The Aventine Hill
The Caelian Hill
The Viminal Hill
The Capitoline Hill
The Esquiline Hill
The Palatine Hill
In My Catholic Bible, it says in the footnotes 7 hills; of Rome.
Also in The Footnotes of their own Bible it says "the Great city. called Egypt and sodom ; Symbolic Jerusalem The rejects God and his witnesses i.e Rome, called BABYLON.
They already persecuted millions of christians in the dark ages, headed by the pope.
So we have already seen this before.

the mathematics is incorrect ... the 3 sets of numbers do add up to 666
but the addition presented only adds up to the value of 366
was that the reason you put in that graphic at the end of your OP?

So we have already seen this before.
17,9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
The beast is described to be a sea of people.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
According to Revelation 17:18 (our text verse), Jerusalem is that great city, The Great Whore, which reigneth over the kings of the earth! The Devil imitates everything that God does, trying to deceive mankind. A classic example is the Antichrist, who will come in an attempt to trick the world into receiving him as the true Messiah.
Most Bible students have concluded that the Catholic church is The Great Whore, but Mystery Babylon includes all of today's false religions that are a part of the New World Order. The occult All Seeing Eye, Obelisk (such as the Washington Monument) and The Great Pyramid are all a part of the Mystery of Babylon, which has been at work by Satan in the world since the tower and city of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9.
Whereas the Bible prophesies that Jesus Christ Himself will return one day to sit upon the literal throne of David and reign over the earth triumphant from Jerusalem; the Antichrist is Satan's gimmick (substitute) for Christ, professing himself that he is the Messiah, God (2nd Thessalonians 2:4).
Since the Antichrist is a counterfeit, naturally he is going to need a counterfeit Israel. And if Satan needs a false Israel for his false Messiah, then he also needs false Jews. Jesus warned in Revelation 2:9 about false Jews of the synagogue of Satan who claim to be true Jews. For nearly everything in God's prophetic plan, the Devil has a counterfeit to deceive the human race.
We even see the trio of the False Prophet, the Beast and the Dragon—imitating God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
And yes, Satan has many counterfeit Bibles too (like the perverted New International Version [NIV]), imitating the genuine King James Bible. It is very sad, even depressing, when I stop to realize that so many Independent Baptist churches these days are supporting a counterfeit Israel, reading from a counterfeit Bible, and in many cases even teaching a counterfeit plan of salvation based on a counterfeit understanding of repentance (aka, Lordship Salvation). Satan is a master counterfeiter!
If you understand that the coming Antichrist is Satan's imitation of Christ, then it should also become obvious to you that Satan has a false Israel too. Whereas Biblical Christians are looking for the return of Jesus Christ to establish His earthly kingdom; heathen Zionists are looking for their false Messiah, the Antichrist, to reign over the world. The New World Order will be the Antichrist's counterfeit of Christ's true coming kingdom during the 1,000 year millennium. The Antichrist will claim to be the Messiah, even proclaiming to be God from the temple in Jerusalem, but he will be an imposter. The unsaved world will eagerly follow the Antichrist when he comes, but many will refuse. At the halfway point through the Tribulation, the Beast (Antichrist) will demand worship of his image from everyone on earth or they will be executed! This event is called The Abomination Of Desolation!
So we see that there will be a false Christ (Messiah) and a false Israel. The true Israel will be regathered to the Promised Land only when Jesus returns to set up His kingdom, and not before. The attempt to restore Israel since 1948 is a Zionist movement by Marxist/Communist false Jews who are led by the international banking cabal. The Illuminati by war and bloodshed put Israel back onto the map in 1948 as a vehicle by which to control the kings of the world. How does Israel rule over the kings of the earth? It's the international banking cabal. Their official headquarters is The Council On Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR created the United Nations

The word antichrist only appears 4 times in the new testament, all in 1&2nd John, all define antichrist as any and all persons who do not acknowledge the "soul saving" of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.
So basically, we need to remember that the New Testament was written in Greek.
‘ο ’έχων τον νούν, ψηφισάτω τον ’αριθμον τού θηρίου· ’αριθμος-γαρ ’ανθρώπου ’εστιν, και ‘ο-’αριθμος-’αυτού χξς.
He who has understanding [or "a mind"] let him count the number of the beast: for a man's number it is, and its number [is] 666.
