Why do we associate "666" with the Devil?
448154
the numbers relate to three biblical events set to take place. the opening of the sixth seal, the sounding of the sixth trump, the pouring out of the sixth vial will all signal the coming of the antichrist which is satan the devil.

Oh this one is easy haha. It is according to the book of revelation. It is not the devils number or any of that sort, but actually reference to Emperor Nero. Emperor Nero is the beast mentioned in Revelations. Revelation was written by John of Pathmos (there was more than one John) and it pertained to the time that it was written. It is not to be applied to current times. In the Hebrew form of Gematria 666 Spells out NRON KSR (Nero Kaisar or Nero Caesar)\n\nN=50 R=200 O=6 N=50 K=100 S=60 R=200 = 666\n\nBook of Revelation was written before the collapse of the 2nd Temple in 70 A.D. It was a call for a New Jerusalem. Babylon refers to Rome and the Beast refers to the Emperor.\n\nIt was Evil for Christians, why? Who do you think Nero happened to blame after the fire in Rome? Hehehe. And who do you think had to suffer and be persecuted? The Christians! So obviously, Christians would find this number evil, because it hints a very evil figure. Infact Nero used to use Christians as Garden Lamps in his Gardens (Where the Vatican now stands). He literally lit them on fire! Alive! Thousands of them. They could not openly write any of this because of obvious reasons. Christianity wasnt legalized till 313 AD (Edict of Milan) by Constantine. So anything Christian before that was illegal and you were subject to persecution if you were Christian. So whatever was written before this time was written in secret and using secret allergories and language (like the Hebrew Gematria) so that others would not understand. It was tough being a Christian back then :-p. Revelations was probably written around 68-69 A.D., right before the collapse of the Second Temple in 70. \n\n\nNothings Gonna Happen on June 6th. The sun will rise and it will set. And we'll all be happy. Who knows you might even get a raise at work :-D

I think that all things are from god and the devil merely manipulates them. This is how he deceives us.\n\n Good Luck and God Bless!!

666 is the number ascribed to the beast in revelation. It is presented as the number of man, with the number of God being 777, the number 666 represents imperfection, falling short of God's perfect standard. Outside this, the number has no mystic powers or secret meanings. 6-6-06 will be a day like any other. Satan will have no more or less power on that day than any other. Also associated with the Beast is the Mark, which will be used to conduct financial business in the AntiChrist's empire. Contrary to a previous poster, the current sitting president is not the beast. The beast will point people to worship the antichrist. The current sitting president professes belief in the Christ of the Bible. The Beast will seek to relace Christ with the AntiChrist, who becomes indwelt by Satan himself. \n\nVerses describing Satan's desire, and his final fate.\n\n"Isa 14:12-15  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."\n\nAlso the biblical time table calls for the rapture of believing christians from the earth prior to the beast/antichrist's ascent to power.\n\nI also know that a movie is going to be released on that date about the apocalypse/end of the world. Having not heard anything about it, I don't know if i can recommend it.

welcome to Judaism my friend. We mearly see the "devil" as the angle of death and a servant of Gd. Personally I do not know where that whole fallen angel garbage came from.

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."

I am not sure how everyione figures this is the day of the devil. The number of the beast is 666 not 6/6/2006. Why would anyone think this day is different. The year 06/06/06 was about the time Christ was born.

In the book of Revelations, 666 is given as the number the Antichrist will mark his followers with.\n\n"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is six hundred three score and six."

Actually nobody believes that “the number of the beast” is 666 any longer. \n-There was a discovery of a piece of parchment that is now the earliest record of Revelations (in Greek) that clearly reads 616. \n-This was a game commonly played at the time (we know this 'cause there are lots of ancient carvings that say things like "I love the woman whose name is 457" stuff like that) So you would assign the letters in a persons name different number values and then take a persons name and add up the numbers and you get a sum. In this case 616 likely refers to the Emperor who was promoting blasphemous idol worship of himself. And the writer of Revalations was trying to make the point about how evil this was and that the only one to be worshiped is "the one true God". And this using numbers was a way of talking about someone without using their actual name and so only those in the know would understand and you could get away with calling the emperor a jerk and not get put in jail or hung or worse…

666 is the devils number. I dont think the world will end yet but who knows with the governments that are around today. Just live every day to the full and dont think about the end

We must understand that it is a trick of the devil.  He is the one who comes to kill, to steal and to destroy.  He feels that if he can draw diivsion between God's people, then he can win and all will not get together and glorify God.  But he is a liar.  And the father of lies.  May God Bless

666 is a reference to a ficticious character depicted in the best selling fiction novel The Bible.

I think it means red devil

just a slight correction Judaism dose not believe in in a little Devil with red horns or a fallen angel. For us evil is the internal desire with in us to basically be lazy and not strive to be close to G-d by doing his commandments. Satan is basically the angle of death and like all other angles is a servant of G-d and has no free will on his own.

In the Bible (the book of Revelation 13 verses 16 to 18) the #666 is the number of the Devil. Pray against any evil on that day.
