Ok, so I've done a bunch of research about this because I really wanted to understand this awesome song. When she mentions John the Baptist, she isn't talking about the same John who sees "that number." She actually is talking about John the Baptist, who was executed. She is saying that this John (who is the author of the Book of Revelation) might end up with the same gruesome fate if he isn't careful. But, he gets saved when God sends the angel to help him foresee the end of the world. What he sees is a seven-headed sea monster with ten crowns, which represents Satan and the number 666.
What I'm not clear on is the underlying thoughts about the Book of Revelation. It may or may not be satirical, but what I found is at least who and what I think Neko was singing about.
