According to the Bible it is.\n\nIt appears in the Book of Revelation:\n\n    Revelation 13:16-18 states:\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 666."

If 911 changed its number to 666... You could easily break people down into a few groups...\n1st: The obvious ones who will actually use the number in an attempt to reach the police. \n2ND: The group that will use the number in an attempt to reach Lucifer himself. \n3rd:The group that when June 6th, 2006 was around the corner who held their vigils in an attempt to hold off the end of the world not realizing that the date had occurred several times in history and we're still alive, will say its another attempt by Lucifer for world domination and that the end is near. \nAnd group 4: The ones who will call the number just to see what happens.

The priest had warned his father Mr Thorn that his son Damien Thorn has the birthmark of the devil in his head. They found the number 666 branded in his head.\n\n666 is the number of the devil, he is the supposed son of satan, therefore he is the Antichrist, Later on, these priests will have daggers which could kill this antichrist. Would only be used in Omen 3 by his mother in the church of Azereth. This is based on the ORIGINAL OMEN trilogy.

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

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."

666 is real and is the mark of the Beast. Know one can tell you the time and place for what is going to happen to his world but what I can tell you as a child of God, you must be ready. The fact that you believe means you believe that there is a God. Start reading the bible it will help you get a better understanding without people giving you what they want you to know. \n\nRevelations 13:11-18\nThe Beast out of the Earth \n 11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so 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. \n 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

In Revelations of the bible John speaks of the mark of the beast. Passage Revelation 13:16-18:\n16He required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave and free--to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] His number is 666. There are many translations or assumptions to what this particular passage means. I wonder if it has to do with today's Social Security Numbers or Credit Ratings. It's getting to the point that you cannot do anything without them. Either you have it in the hand... most machines are for right handed people... forehead... how many numbers do you have memorized... your SS#, bank account, phone,etc...As far as the date... it's very interesting and doesn't happen to often.... even though... we have had 01/01/01...02/02/2002, 03/03/03, 04/04/04, 05/05/05...and 03/04/05...etc...we can wonder if this is the day is near or make guess however... Passage Mark 13:32:\n32"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows

It is the number of his name.\nRev. 13\n15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has *the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.\n18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is six hundred, sixty, and six.\n\nhttp://www.needGod.com

After the rapture, all followers of Satan (he will try and take power after the rapture) will be marked with the number 666. We're not sure how it will be marked. It could be a microchip, or a real mark, but we know that it will have the number 666 somewhere on it.

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."

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.

The verse from the Bible that refers to 666 is   "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." (Rev 13:18).  \n\nIt is in reference to the first beast in Revelation 13.  In the Bible, a beast represents a nation, kingdom or empire.  But since this verse says that it "is the number of a man", it it talking about the leader of that nation. \n\nThe best way to truly identify the nation and its leader is to study the characteristics of that first beast and history.  This beast is also the same as the "little horn" mentioned in Daniel chapter 7.  (Daniel and Revelation are very closely related and will help you to gain a better understanding if studied together.)\n\nThe early protestant reformers believed that the beast represents the Vatican (which is a nation) and the leader is the Pope.  \n\nAn interesting note is that the official title of the Pope is "Vicarius Filii Dei" (Vicar of the Son of God).  When his title is converted into roman numerals and the numerical values are added, the total comes to 666.  This happens also when the Pope's official title is converted into the other languages that assign numerical values for the characters of the alphabet; Greek and Hebrew are the other languages that do this, and in each one, the total is 666. \n\nIs this a mere coincidence or were the early protestant reformers right?  (Another note; they were called "Protestants because they were protesting against the cruelties, corruptions and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church.)\n\nAnother point about this mark, is that it most likely will not be a visible mark on the skin, even though the Bible  mentions that it wwill be on the hand or on the forehead.  The mark is received as a matter of worship. (See Revelation 13:15 and Revelation 14:9, 10.)  \n\nWe can see the political swing toward more conservative views, and there are some that believe that this swing will lead to a law in which the people of this country and the world will beforced to go to church, and if you don't then you will be prohibited from conducting business and will eventually be killed.  (The Bible has an example of this in Daniel chapter 2.)\n\nThe best advise that I can give is to study the Bible carefully.  There are many people, even ministers, who will try to tell you what it means, but the explanations often go against the simple words of the Bible; don't believe these people.

The use of the number 666 as a personification of evil comes from the Bible:\n\nFirstly, it says:\n\nHere is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number\nof the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred\nsixty-six.\n-Revelations chapter 13, Verse 18\n\nThen, it continues later:\n\nThe smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest\nday and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever\nreceives the mark of his name.\n-Revelations chapter 14, Verse 11\n\nSo, the beast himself has a number of 666, and his followers carry the mark.\n\nOver recent years, and influenced by the "Omen" movie, the number has\nnecome synonymous with the antichrist, with the kid, Damien, in the\nmovie, having 666 as a birthmark under his hair.\n\nYou'll find a lot of interesting stuff, including articles on prophecy\nand its relation to the number 666, over at\n\n666: the mark of the beast; information and links\nhttp://www.popsubculture.com/pop/bio_project/sub/666.html\n\nHope that answers your question\n\nwillie-ga\n\nSearch used\n\n666 History\nRevelations Chapter 14\n \n \nstressmathers-ga rated this answer: \nThis is a very obvious answer and contains little or no acedemic basis.\n \n\n \nComments    Log in to add a comment  \n \nSubject: Re: History of "666" \nFrom: neilzero-ga on 10 May 2004 10:21 PDT     \nWillie gave a good answer, except many Chritian ideas are barrowed\nfrom other religions and cultures, so it is possible that 666 predated\nthe Book of Revelations by 1000 years or so.

I've heard\nacedemics talk about how it somehow refers to Nero...which would make\nsense why they (christians) began using the number as the mark of the\ndevil, since Nero made them scapegoats during the first great Roman\nfire during his reign.

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.
