Hebrews 6:17, 18 - Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. [NKJV]
"Immutable" means "fixed; unalterable."
That God cannot lie IS one of the two things. The other is His oath, spoken of in verse 17. In other words, there is "strong consolation" because (1) God has confirmed His counsel (or "purpose") with an oath to those who place their trust in Him, and (2) His promises are sure, because He cannot lie.

I checked just to be sure and, yes, there is a page 666 in the Bible, at least in my Bible there is. Just because this number is associated with the Antichrist does not mean it cannot be used to count things. Some buildings skip the 13th floor, but the Bible does not skip page 666.
