Why is the number 666 associated with evil?
369492
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."

Either way nothing is happening today.\n\nThe Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 or, in some cases, 616. The meaning of the number is debated. In some interpretations of Christian eschatology the “Beast” is believed to refer to a being controlled by or equated with the Antichrist, whereas some scholars, such as Dr. Delbert Hillers and the editors of the Oxford & Harper Collins translations, contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,[1] a view that is also supported by the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3]

actually that is a highly debated peice of information. it sounds like many different things but nobody knows for sure except for Three Six mafia so until it is proven then you should not say that. I wouldn't be surprised if that was really what they say though. I am a big fan I have most of their songs and they talk about crucifiction and Gangsta Boo calls herself the Devil's Daughter in one of the songs. And Obviously Three Six stands for 666.

666 is a representation of the anti christ 999 is the representation of christ. Anybody who is on a downward spiritual motion would be working against christ. \n\nAs far as I know a person who is supremely oposed to christ would be a 666. \n\nThere no such being as those portrayed in movies. All these religious stories are talking about us humans and serve as example for our lives.\n\nAim to meet god and you will aim to meet the devil and you will.

No, it was 7/6/1946...but like wow, think about this!\n\nSee, like if you well take the 1 in 1946 and subtract it from the 4, I think you get like 3.  Then if you like take the 3 and subtract it from the 9 then you get like a 6.\n\nWow, like that's 6 6, almost 666! Then you take the 6 from July 6th and that makes 666!\n\nOH! MY! GOD! Is that like the creepiest thing EVER!!!\n\nI just knew this guy was EVIL!!!\n\nWow, pass it on!

Actually, it was in fact misinterpreted in the Bible. \n\nRevelation! 666 is not the number of the beast\n(it's a devilish 616)\n\nA newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.\n\nThe new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.

maybe it is Lucifer himself his name alone represents 666  however i check on it and will edit later if i find out any different or that it is Lucifer himself for sure (calling pastor)\n\npastor not home but talked to others and they say its lucifer, at least in his own mind cause hes already been defeated. will continue to try the pastor to make sure  and to the post above two of those in the end were just men and are insignifagent to the question\n\nare you studing revalations\n\nmabe it could allso be the whore of babylon

i would guess that the signs are referring to the remake of the movie called "the omen" that is going to be released on that day.  in case you never saw the original, it's about a couple whose son is satan (666 is supposed to be the "number of the beast" meaning satan so that's why they picked that release date)

6/6/6 is the name of Nero in Romans numbers.  Nero can be called the Antichrist because he likes to kill Christians. Any way don't worry the time is an invention of the humans and is really no difference between 6/6/2006, 8/8/2008 or 6/71920.

Why 666 for the Antichrist in the Bible?\nYou asked a question to which the answer is still a secret. The ancients were numerologists, working with numbers as symbols. The Hebrew alphabet is symbolic, as are the runes. 666 in numerology results in 9 (6+6+6=18; 1+8=9). This number relates to the letter Kheth in the Syriac alphabet and to the letter Tet in the Hebrew alphabet, meaning to twist or a snake. The snake or serpent has been often seen as the symbol of the devil, although it is also the symbol of our divine life energy we now call Kundalini.\n\nOriginal research by Dr. Bara H. Loveland-Fischer points out that this number is closely related to one of our energy fields, which can be easily misused, that is, by activating it without spiritual balance we may become secretive behind a kind facade, avoiding to see ourselves and solve our problems, conning others who trust us.\n\nAlthough the secret is not fully out yet, we can see that the ancient texts had deep spiritual meaning and hold a mirror in front of us calling this number "the number of man:"\n\n"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Bible, Revelation 13:18) A score is 20, threescore is 60 so that six hundred threescore and six makes 666.\n\nThis number also relates to the age we are in. Original research by Dr. Bara H. Loveland pointed out that we have not entered the age of Aquarius but the age relating to this Biblical number. \n\nHowever, all is energy, and energy is neither good nor bad. It is what we make of it. We can turn the negative side of 666 around to be its best: the nourishing, helpful, sharing, loving and open energy, which allows spiritual power and wisdom to bloom. It is all up to us! Yet, \n\n"We cannot change the world, we can only change ourselves. And herewith, we change the world (Dr. Bara H. Loveland-Fischer, 1981).\n\nThanks for your inspiring question! Keep searching, you are unto something great: the ancient wisdom and knowledge of our sacred energy fields!\n\nCordially, India.Magica

In my opinion, "evil" is "self-contradiction."\n\nAlthough bible matter doesn't say this explicitly, I do believe it's the gist of thought all through its contents.

No, actually you misunderstand as do most. 666 is the Mark of the Beast. The "Anti-Christ," The False Prophet and the Beast are all three different things. The Devil will eventually take the body of the "Anti-Christ" but that is another story. Anyway if you take the mark 666 or if it appears on you then you CHOSE the devil. That doesn't mean it is the Devil's number it means you rejected God.

It's a biblical thing. Like, "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" - it comes from the bible. They say 666 a lot too, LOL!

666 is associated as "The Number of the Beast". (from Revelation 13: 16-18)\n\n(UGGH, I don't like quoting "the good book").

These are all symbols that people have used at times to represent evil. There are many more than this list. But they are all just images. They are not real. Evil is real, the images are not.\n\nThe number 666 is different from other symbols because it was originally the numerical version of the name of the most ruthless murderer of Christians of his day-- the emperor Nero of Rome.\n\nIf you assign numerals to the Greek alphabet and add up the numbers in the name of "Nero Caesar" you will arrive at 666 (some ancient manuscripts have 667, not 666. 667 adds up to Neron Caesar--Nero's name as a direct object (accusative case).\n\nThe number 666 appears in the book of Revelation in the Christian New Testament. The book was written by a man named John who was exiled by the Roman empire and sent to an island prison where he wrote Revelation as a letter to be sent to the churches of Asia Minor. In Revelation, Rome is variously described as "the beast," "whore," and "Babylon." Rome had a religion of emperor-worship which Christians refused to follow. In the book of Revelation John calls this religion a beast, too, a beast which demands obedience to Rome.\n\nTo find out who was loyal and who was not Rome required you to have a sort of document that you could only get at the temples where Caesar was worshiped. That "document" proved that you had worshiped Caesar. The number 666 was called the mark of the beast --that is, the mark of the religion that demanded that you worship the emperor.\n\nHope this helps
