Often times i saw people who are afraid of the number 666? Some says it is combination of number with bad luck? But why? Is is because of the rumors that it is the devils number? For me it is only a number? Can the 666 number hurt a people? Have you heard of a news that a number 666 killed a people? But why do they tell others that it is evil? Is it because of the films that's telling 666 is an evil number? Why?

I think the notion it is bad is because it was written in the Bible about that number. And ever since it was interpreted as an evil number. Well for me, since I am aware of such connotation I am pretty much cautious in using such number. But that is unavoidable since in mathematical computation you often encounter seeing this number very often. But then I think that if you just ignore that number nothing bad will happen to you.

Well I guess the number itself will not hurt you but the meaning it connotes makes it bad. But you can use the number without any malice into it. As an accountant i usually encounter such numbers everyday especially when dividing numbers to 3 or 6 you get this number over and over again. But then I see it as numbers only and nothing more.

My dear the number by itself can't kill but this number has significance in the end times. It is clearly written in the Bible and we should not take this for granted. The 666 represents “mark of the beast” and this is found in Revelation 13:15-18. Other references can be found in Revelation 14:9, 11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, and 20:4. Here are some of the verses for your easy reference: REvelation 13 [b] 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 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, 17 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. 18 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.[/b]

The number is not bad...it is merely a way to identify who this beast or anti christ is.

Hi RJ, For me 666 is just a number and nothing to be feared of. I have faith in the Almighty and he will always be there to keep me safe. If this is evil... well, God's power and grace will still prevail.

Well, there are basis of how man came up to say that 666 is the number of the devil. Just like if you have watched "The Da Vinci Code", there are real persons who are educated and wanted to find things hidden in old scriptures and artifacts regarding the meaning of life, like what happened in the times of Christ. I can't recall some but I think I've watched movies and documentaries with details regarding the devil's number. And if I'm not mistaken the good number or opposite of it is the number 7, I think?

yes it is the number seven but i can't trust the Da Vinci code i have watch people from history channel studies it and they say that the Da Vinci code that was written and later produced in the movies is very far from the real scriptures of Da Davinci. And most of the things that are written in the Da Vinci cannot be proven till now.

At least in your country it is good, but for some they really hate that number... I just really can't get the sense of people calling that number evil! LOL! Maybe they are crazy or just too superstitious.

History and superstition, people believing what they are told. All these things kind of come together in peoples fear of the number 666. What was written thousands of years ago in ancient languages how do we even know translations were not "edited" to suit the users needs.

You are right! That was thousand years ago and translators are not enough to decipher the secrets.

its said in Revelations that it is the "number of the Beast" and that's why many Christians fear it

Christians whose trust rests with God Almighty do not fear this number, we know who wins in the end.

The numbers 666 are just that - numbers. Nothing more. Nothing whatsoever evil about them. However, they, in some way, will represent the name of the AntiChrist. Whether the representation will be numeric or some other form that can be conformed into a 666 presentation is not known. But, like JerZGirl represents ME on myLot, those numbers will represent or will be indicative of the one who comes before the AntiChrist. JerZGirl isn't me. It has no power of its own other than being the name I use to represent me here. The same will be true of the number 666. Wikipedia shows that there are several wicked people in history whose names also can be represented by the number 666 using both the Greek and Hebrew alphabets. I just hold no fears over this number - it's the person it represents who should be feared.

i don't know. before it was a sign of bad luck or satans number but sometimes i am able to not believe in it anymore since it's a bit supersticious. for now, even with posting before i tend to avoid the number 666just to avoid myself from getting nervous but at least i don't entirely believed in it anymore

Yes you are right, cause i often see the numbers 666 and nothing bad happens to me, maybe it is because of my faith.
