Pope is not the beast. Its antichrist. There will be a mark on his forehead, others can see it but he can't. He will have some satanic powers to make the followers.

Its just hype for The Omen Movie.  Jesus says in Mark 13:32 that only the Father knows the end date.  please take the time to let me explain 666 I'll try to make it interesting.  Rev 13 says a  beast came out of the sea and was given power by the dragon.     Daniel 7:17 says a beast reps a King or Kingdom. Revelation 13 says a beast rose out of the sea. Rev 17:15 says that the sea in prophecy reps people. Daniel 7 says the dragon represents Roman Empire. According to Rev 13 the dragon gave the beast its power, this beast claims to be the son of God and to have power to forgive which is blasphemy. Jn 10:33 says blasphemy is men making himself equal to God. Rev 13 says the beast will have power to persecute and make war against God's people (saints) and nations for 42 months, Ezekiel and Daniel say that in prophetic terms 42 mos. equals 1260 years. In 538 Justinian gave the Papacy Governmental power to rule over every nation, in 1798 Napoleon captured the Pope and the Pope didn't have that power again. 538 to 1798 equals 1260 yrs! This and other info in the Bible tells us that the beast was the Papacy. The Pope used to have a name on his weird hat that in Latin said Vicarivus Felii Dei which translated means Son of God. The Bible says that the number 666 represents the number of the beast. When you add up the Roman numerals I = 1 V=5 C=100 D=500 this adds up to 666 which is the mark of the Beast. A few places in the Bible it says that the Beast in this case knows who he is.\nAwhile ago the pope took that name off his hat.\nI have more to share about Rev 13 and many other fulfilled prophecies of Rev, if you'd like to know more plz contact me

Aside of the weird end times stuff don't expect something coming our way as of  yet.  666 is the number of the beast. Soon the beast will be released. As the pain a woman endures during labor the contractions get closer and  closer together when she is about  give birth.  \n This is like the harbinger that will be signal to those who know the morals of man will decline to a state of bestiality, the winds will increase,hurricane's beyond category 5 will make humans shutter with fear,climates will change expeditiously, Volcano's will erupt more frequently, Earthquakes will crack the Earths shell and destroying man kinds makings. Wars and more rumors of war. No one shall escape the mark of the beast 666. \nThat is your answer. otherwise be grateful for now, and have a nice day.

In Rev. 13:18, it says, "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." That's the source for it. It also says in v. 16-17 that that mark will be placed on everyone because we will not be able to buy or sell without it. Basically a tracking system. In fact, the entirety of Chapter 13 is about satan and him coming to enslave the world.\n\nAnd why are you embarrassed to talk about it with your Bible teacher?  That's his/her job. If they intimidate you perhaps you need to find a new Bible study group. Just a thought.

it was a quote from revelations. the number of the beast will be a human number, its number is six hundred sixty six.\n\nat the time of the writing of the book, nero caesar was in power. if you took the letters in his name (roman alphabet) and used them as hebrew characters, they werent letters any more, they were numbers. they added up to 666. when the book was written, you couldnt publicly speak out about the government, you'd be jailed. so, it was a clever way to say that he was "the beast that would destroy the world" without getting caught.

Satan isn't really one single being in the bible. Like black_hole_gravity said, it means "adversary" and it's more of a title than a name. Although Lucifer still is a villain in christian mythology. He did rebel against god in the story.

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.

To me, the current date has no bearing on anything. I do follow prophecy and know the number of the beast. Fortunately for Christians, we will not be here when those who wish to be out in society will have to have the mark so my only concern is for any of my family that continues to reject Christ and will still be here when these things come to pass.

I think we were at "THE THOUSAND YEARS" but I don't know how long would this "thousand years" would last. Its at Revelation 20:1-6\n\nI think that all that's been said in the Revelation prior to the chapter 20 (that's upto chapter 19) were all pertained to the struggle of the Christianity. Everything that is written is symbolic, now that is the problem, I don't have much idea what those symbols means. But I know that the number 666 or the beast pertains to Emperor Nero. Since the "whole world" mention in Revelation is the world/nations itself known by the Christians at that time. All I know that He is coming very soon. So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!

nope because i read some where that the number 666 appeared in a dream as the mark of the beast and as it turns out the number was seen upside down to be 999. besides the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he does not exist. so there for it would be to obvious for something horrible to happen on the day 666.

Verse 18:\nHere is wisdom. That is, in what is stated respecting the name and the number of the name of the beast. The idea is, either that there would be need of peculiar sagacity in determining what the "number" of the "beast" or of his "name" was, or that peculiar "wisdom" was shown by the fact that the number could be thus expressed. The language used in the verse would lead the reader to suppose that the attempt to make out the "number" was not absolutely hopeless, but that the number was so far enigmatical as to require much skill in determining its meaning. It may also be implied that, for some reason, there was true "wisdom" in designating the name by this number, either because a more direct and explicit statement might expose him who made it to persecution, and it showed practical wisdom thus to guard against this danger; or because there was "wisdom" or skill shown in the fact that a number could be found which would thus correspond with the name. On either of these suppositions, peculiar wisdom would be required in deciphering its meaning. \n\nLet him that hath understanding. Implying \n\n(a) that it was practicable to "count the number of the name;" and \n\n(b) that it would require uncommon skill to do it. It could not be successfully attempted by all; but still there were those who might do it. This is such language as would be used respecting some difficult matter, but where there was hope that, by diligent application of the mind, and by the exercise of a sound understanding, there would be a prospect of success. \n\nCount the number of the beast. In Rev 13:16, it is "the number of his name." The word here rendered "count"-- qhfisatw--means, properly, to count or reckon with pebbles, or counters; then to reckon, to estimate. The word here means compute; that is, ascertain the exact import of the number, so as to identify the beast. The "number" is that which is immediately specified, "six hundred threescore and six"--666. The phrase "the number of the beast" means, that somehow this number was so connected with the beast, or would so represent its name or character, that the "beast" would be identified by its proper application. The mention in Rev 13:17 of "the name of the beast," and "the number of his name," shows that this "number" was somehow connected with his proper designation, so that by this he would be identified. The plain meaning is, that the number 666 would be so connected with his name, or with that which would properly designate him, that it could be determined who was meant by finding that number in his name or in his proper designation. This is the exercise of the skill or wisdom to which the writer here refers: substantially that which is required in the solution of a riddle or a conundrum. If it should be said here that this is undignified and unworthy of an inspired book, it may be replied \n\n(a) that there might be some important reason why the name or designation should not be more plainly made; \n\n(b) that it was important, nevertheless, that it should be so made that it would be possible to ascertain who was referred to; \n\n(c) that this should be done only in some way which would involve the principle of the enigma--"where a known thing was concealed under obscure language"--Webster's Dic.; \n\n(d) that the use of symbols, emblems, hieroglyphics, and riddles was common in the early periods of the world; and \n\n(e) that it was no uncommon thing in ancient times, as it is in modern, to test the capacity and skill of men by their ability to unfold the meaning of proverbs, riddles, and dark sayings. Compare the riddle of Samson, Jud 14:12, seq. See also Ps 49:4 78:2 Eze 17:2-8 Pr 1:2-6 Da 8:23 It would be a sufficient vindication of the method adopted here if it was certain or probable that a direct and

It's all a load of nonsense. The whole 666 thing came from the Bible, which was put together by a bunch of Romans who wanted to control people. Why is it people still believe in the Bible despite the fact it is just a selective history? They take it as gospel, at face value. There were hundreds of books but only a few were chosen to go in the Bible, the ones that reflected the view of the Romans and gave across the views that they wanted to give across. Know a story when you read one!

I suppose it's the nature of the beast. But the beast is FANATISM, not RELIGION ITSELF. There is a difference.

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.
