What does the number 6 symbolize in the Bible?

Answer 1

The number seven stands for completeness from God's standpoint. Therefore, the number six, which falls short of the number seven, stands for things that fall short of God's standards. The number 666, (a triple six) represents gross imperfection from God's standpoint.

Here is an interesting side point: The number six in The Bible seems to be associated with God's enemies. A Philistine man of the Rephaim was of "extraordinary size," and his "fingers and toes were in sixes." (1 Chronicles 20:6) King Nebuchadnezzar erected a golden image 6 cubits in breadth and 60 cubits high, which God's servants refused to bow down to. (Daniel 3:1-23)

This is the flip side to that coin: Six: The symbolism behind number Six is legend. With Venus as its ruler, Six represents harmony, balance, sincerity, love, and truth. Six naturally reveals solutions for us in a calm, unfolding manner. We invoke the Six when we need delicate diplomacy when dealing with sensitive matters. The spiritual meaning of number Six also deals with enlightenment; specifically "lighting" our path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance. Sixes beckon us to administer compassion and consciously choose forgiveness in a situation.

In biblical numerology it is the number of 'man.' And 666 is the number of the man of perdition in Revelation:
