666 as a name or word\n\nAnother interpretation is that 666 is actually some kind of code based on the letters of someone's name or a word. This sparks great public interest since it seems to provide some way to identify the Antichrist. Numerologists like to devise clever ways of assigning numbers to letters so that the letters of a name will add up to this symbolic number. Probably the best-known scheme has A=100, B=101, and so on. With this code, the name "HITLER" adds up to 666. Another commonly cited example is President Ronald Wilson Reagan, where counting the letters of his first, middle, and last name lead to 666. While these ideas are intriguing, they usually require many specific preconditions, like having to start with 100, numbering the surname only, etc. (even though in the former case, you can also number a=1, b=2, and so on and decode his initials 'A' and 'H' as 18, which of course equals 6+6+6.) By adapting the rules however, it is possible to connect most if not all names to the evil number. See also Vicarius Filii Dei. More convincing interpretations invoke more than mathematics to prove their point.\n\n    * For example, scholars who believe the Book of Revelation refers to real people and events argue that the number represents the value of Nero or Neron Caesar (נרון קסר, Nrwn Qsr*, pronounced "Neron Qesar") in Hebrew letters, which also have numerical values under the form of numerology called Gematria (note that Hebrew is written from right to left):

666 is the mark of the beast that you will be required to receive when the Rapture occurs.If you choose to receive this mark you will not enter Heaven. It has nothing to do with the date of tomorrow...people are just being silly.

it's only creepy to those who believe that 666 has any significance on our lives. i am not one of those people.\n\ntuesday, june 6, 2006:\n\ni will get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and proceed to go about my day in a normal fashion, like any other day. i will read the NY times and go to work. i will eat lunch at some point. i will most likely answer a few questions on yahoo answers at some point during the day. i will eat dinner at some point. i may or may not deflicate on that day, but i will probably go #1 several times throughout the course of the day. i will put on my pj's at some point in the evening and go to sleep, after a long day of complete and total normality.\n\nwhat do YOU think will happen on june 6, 2006 (06-06-06)?

The number of the beast referred to in Revelations.\n\nEDIT: Catcherintherye asked \n"Contrary to what others have said 666 is not in the Bible. I bet all my balls if you can find it. \nSource(s):\nMedieval Philosophy Class. "\n\n\nso here it goes:\n\nIn the New Jerusalem Bible, Revelation 13:18 reads\nThere is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is the number of a human being, the number 666. \n\nIn the New American Bible:\nWisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six. \n\nIn the King James Version:\nHere 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 three score and six. \n\nI assume his medieval history professor was pointing out that some Greek Language scholars believe that the Codex Alexandrius is actually the oldest surviving document containing what is now referred to as Revelations.  In that document the passage reads "kai ho arithmos autou hexakosioi hexēkonta hex" which they say does not literally translate to 666. \n\nI'm not a greek etymologist and have no idea whether their right.  Most Christians accept on faith whatever they are told to believe by their respective church leaders.  Most non-christians don't care.\n\nI kinda care but realize noone living today really knows.\n\nHope that helped,\nArmus

666 is the number of a man's name, according to the Bible (Revelation chapters 13 & 14). It most likely refers to the evil emperor Nero who opposed Christ by persecuting God's Church. The letters of the name Nero, in the original language, equals this number. Nero would be numbered so that his name could be hidden and the writer, John, could live on. Why would God need a number? He wants His identity known.

People belive it's the devils number. (666) As proven by another person, there may be another terroist attack on the 5/6. It was done by a math equation. But I Know people that were born on 9-11 and 6-6.

Don't worry your little head over it, they said the same thing about 6/6/66. It ain't gonna happen, all date setting is useless. The Father Only, had this information, during the Incarnation of Jesus. He kept it in His Own Power & Devine Knowledge till Jesus returned to Heaven & once again took His Seat as God. The Bible says, "He willingly laid aside His Godhood, not thinking It to be something to hold on to. So He could taste Death for every man. Having done so He returned to Heaven, and we know Him no more after the flesh." He took up His Godhood, and now when He returns, He comes back as God Almighty. No man will be able to hurt Him as they did 2,000 years ago. He will slay 200,000,000 with the Sword of His Mouth (His Word) and split the Mount of Olives in two when He arrives at Jerusalem, after Armageddon is finished. Then the Jews will recognize Him as Messiah,  "When they look upon Him Whom they pierced." The nimber 666 is the numerical value of the name of a man who will become the anti-christ. There are 3 things that will be used in the anti-christ kingdom for people that wish to buy or sell. 1. His Mark (currently unknown) 2. His name (currently unknown) 3. The number of his name (666 currently all we know of the anti-christ) The Scriptures call him "the king of the North" "the Assyrian, the oppressor of God's People." This points to modern day Syria, it is due North of Jerusalem. Keep your eyes on Syria, I think the anti-christ will prove the Scriptures Right once again. By the way, God's Name adds up to 777 & Jesus adds up to 888. God's being Perfect Completeness & Jesus' being the number of New Beginnings. 6,000 yrs from Adam, 1,000 yrs for the Millinium equals 7,000 years. Eternity begins at the end of Jesus' 1,000 year Reign. God Bless, Pastor "B"

There have probably been thousands of attempts to remove the number 666 from it’s Biblical context and give an explication.\n\nWhat must be remembered is that the book of Revelation was written in symbolic language. It was never intended by God to be interpreted literally. When people try to use passages out of a symbolic context to prove a point, or “twist” a symbol to explain their own preconceived ideas, they sin and distort the text.\n\nI’m going to give you a very simple explication of the entire book of revelation, here it is:\n\nThere is a great spiritual battle going on between Christ and Satan. All mankind is involved in this battle. You are either on Satan’s side or Christ’s side. Christ wins the battle. Those who are members of His body, the church of Christ win with Him. That’s the message of the book.\n\nIn symbolic language God records the spiritual battle. Those who were the original recipients of the book (Revelation 1:1-3) knew firsthand of the battle. The book was written to instruct and comfort them. \n\n" ALSO 666 may stand for man’s imperfection."

The number of the Beast from the Apocalypse of John, commonly known as the "Book of Revelation". One explanation is that 666 is a code name which alludes to the Roman emperor Domitian, who brutally persecuted Christians during his reign. According to this theory, the Christians referred to their oppressor as "Nero reborn". "Nero Caesar" in Greek is "Neron Kaisar". Hoping to keep the full import of the document hidden from the authorities, the author of the Apocalypse translated this title into Hebrew, then added up the numeric value each Hebrew letter represented for a total of six hundred and sixty-six.

There are many ideas as to 666, and they may all be wrong. BUT, when this Man/Creature does arrive, people CAN know IF they read these prophecies, regardless of what they think they mean now. But, I feel most people are Curious of Prophecy. We can see the Prophecies of the Bible that have come true, so, now we try to Decipher those that are still in the making, so to say. I have heard ideas about all the Insects mentioned, from being some new strain of insect (Like Killer Bees) to being Military Helicopters shooting Bullets. It is fun to listen, watch, wait and sometimes see in REAL Life some of these things being reveled. ;-)
