In Ancient Greek it is the  Fifth & sixth letter of the Greek Alphebet and Stigma . "Not Sigma!" Chi Xi Stigma.\nFind the ancient Greek look at the 5th & 6th letter and you will see it is not Hex Hex Hex, which would be 666. This Stigma is the Mark of the Anti-Christ or Anti-Anointed. and Anointed Christians are all who will understand because this Mark cannot touch them.

666 is the number of a man's name, according to the Bible (Revelation chapters 13 & 14). It most likely refers to the evil emperor Nero who opposed Christ by persecuting God's Church. The letters of the name Nero, in the original language, equals this number. Nero would be numbered so that his name could be hidden and the writer, John, could live on. Why would God need a number? He wants His identity known.

The devil doesn't have a number. The number "666" referred to in Revelations actually is the number of man. Keep reading after the number is first mentioned. Some sources suggest that the original number was, in fact, "616" which adds up to "13" numerologically (6+1+6). This number means struggle, trials and ultimately great connection with the divine, so it probably fits better that "666".

It's the "number of the Beast" in the Book of Revelations in the Bible.

In Revelations of the bible John speaks of the mark of the beast. Passage Revelation 13:16-18:\n16He required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave and free--to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] His number is 666. There are many translations or assumptions to what this particular passage means. I wonder if it has to do with today's Social Security Numbers or Credit Ratings. It's getting to the point that you cannot do anything without them. Either you have it in the hand... most machines are for right handed people... forehead... how many numbers do you have memorized... your SS#, bank account, phone,etc...As far as the date... it's very interesting and doesn't happen to often.... even though... we have had 01/01/01...02/02/2002, 03/03/03, 04/04/04, 05/05/05...and 03/04/05...etc...we can wonder if this is the day is near or make guess however... Passage Mark 13:32:\n32"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows

Christ returns at the seventh trump.\n\n7 th seal\n7 th trump\n7 th vial\n\nIn the book of Revelations. Rev.8:1 7th seal, Rev.11:15 7th trump, Rev.16:17 7th vial.\n\nSeven means "Completeness - Spiritual - Perfection". \n\nAs to why that was written on your mirrors, I don't know.

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

:}\nthe term is Latin and means "Vicar of the Son of God." the fact that it has numerological equivalent of 666 has been made much of.\nIt was apparently a title applied to Peter, but to no subsequent pope, who were referred to as vicars of peter.\n\nAnti catholic interest have made much of the numerical equivalent.

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.

The use of the number 666 as a personification of evil comes from the Bible:\n\nFirstly, it says:\n\nHere is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number\nof the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred\nsixty-six.\n-Revelations chapter 13, Verse 18\n\nThen, it continues later:\n\nThe smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest\nday and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever\nreceives the mark of his name.\n-Revelations chapter 14, Verse 11\n\nSo, the beast himself has a number of 666, and his followers carry the mark.\n\nOver recent years, and influenced by the "Omen" movie, the number has\nnecome synonymous with the antichrist, with the kid, Damien, in the\nmovie, having 666 as a birthmark under his hair.\n\nYou'll find a lot of interesting stuff, including articles on prophecy\nand its relation to the number 666, over at\n\n666: the mark of the beast; information and links\nhttp://www.popsubculture.com/pop/bio_project/sub/666.html\n\nHope that answers your question\n\nwillie-ga\n\nSearch used\n\n666 History\nRevelations Chapter 14\n \n \nstressmathers-ga rated this answer: \nThis is a very obvious answer and contains little or no acedemic basis.\n \n\n \nComments    Log in to add a comment  \n \nSubject: Re: History of "666" \nFrom: neilzero-ga on 10 May 2004 10:21 PDT     \nWillie gave a good answer, except many Chritian ideas are barrowed\nfrom other religions and cultures, so it is possible that 666 predated\nthe Book of Revelations by 1000 years or so.

If one assumes John, as an apostle,\nwas blessed with prophetic vision, one must also remember that he was\nprophesying events to come in the latter days, i.e., right now.

666 is the mark of the beast that you will be required to receive when the Rapture occurs.If you choose to receive this mark you will not enter Heaven. It has nothing to do with the date of tomorrow...people are just being silly.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

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)
