What is so bad about the number 666?

Answer 1

Revelation chapter 13 talks of the number of the name of the beast, and verse 18 in most modern Bibles gives this number as 666. However, some early manuscripts give the number of the beast as 616. The reason for this number is unclear, but some believe that by attributing a number to each letter of the alphabet, it probably identifies a Roman emperor or some other enemy.

Answer 2

Many Possible Interpretations See the Related Link "Answers.com: 666" for quite a few interpretations on this theory. One that is missed (at least as of this writing) is that the number 6 is considered the "number of man," one step shy of perfection (represented by the number 7). Having three 6's, according to this theory, indicates that the AntiChrist will be a man trying to become God.

Revelation 13:

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast [how many are under his power]: for it is the number of a man [it's people]; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. [decimal 66.6=percentage of the world population 66.6% or 2/3 of the world, the other 1/3 of the world claim a connection with God.]

All people in your immediate family [legally under marriage, your offspring], have your last name, so they are the number of your name.

To see this term used in The Bible, so that we understand how God uses the term, see Numbers 1.

Another View:

The number itself means nothing. Since "7"is the Number of God and "6" is the Number of Man, and "3" is used for completeness, this means that "666" [the number of a man] will be completely and utterly a human being and not God.

Answer 3

I had always heard the the number 6 represents man...since man was created on the 6th day. The number three is a number that represents God, the trinity, father, son, holy spirit and that when we take the mans number 6 and extend it out to three 6's it is man becoming as God. Just a thought.

Answer 4

Number 666 is a symbol of satanism. This number is generally considered unlucky and dangerous. The year 666 was the worst year in history of civilization. Also it is triple 6 which is not a good number too.

Answer 5

666 is bad because in the Bible, 666 is referred to as the Devil's number, and it is the "Mark of the Beasts". "Mark of the Beasts" is basically the Devil coming to Earth and putting 666 on everyone's forehead, to show that they are the Devil's property. :)
