666 and the Mark of the Beast

666 comes from Revelation 13 in the Bible. 666 is a human number that is connected with the mark of the beast.

Beast is Satan, claiming to be God

The beast is Satan in a brilliant, perfect body. He will appear to people as a glorious being and he claims to be God. He will have many names, all of which are different names for God. In fact, he will have a total of six hundred and sixty-six (666) names.

“No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Revelation 13:17,18

666 blasphemous names

This verse tells us to calculate or count the number of names the beast has. The beast will have 666 names. When he first comes to earth he starts out with 7 blasphemous names and over the next few months he keeps adding names until he reaches 666 blasphemous names. These are blasphemous names because they claim to be God but they aren’t God. When you count up all of his names there will be 666 names.

Mark of the beast is 666 names

The mark of the beast is the name of the beast or any of his 666 names. In other words, you receive the mark of the beast by taking any one of the beast’s 666 names.

I read it in the Bible, but I forgot what passage it was, so I researched:

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Rev. 13:17, 18)

It's the supposed "Number of the Beast". The Beast being the Devil.

In all actuality, it is simply a number.

Answer 11

1000-334

Answer 12

It is the MARK OF THE BEAST, aka Lucifer, or DEVIL

Answer 13

As opposed to what many people think 666 is not the devil's number. In the book of Apocalips or Revelations when it reffers to 666 as the number of the beast and of its followers it doesn't  mean satan. The beast represents all of the goverments on earth and therefore those marked by this number are those who have something to do with this goverment. All those with this number prefer this world order of men and not the one of God. and will therefore be punish by dieing forever, but not h**l  

Answer 14

Jesus referred to the number 7:  when asked if people should forgive someone 7 times, He replied that we should forgive 7 times 77 times.

Those who fall short of the Glory of God, according to the Bible, are imperfect and have the number 666 rather than 7.  

Answer 15

It means watch out for fundamentalist Christians because they get upset by this number.  It also means to watch out for anti-Christians, like Satan worshippers or just typical teenagers looking for kicks, because they also take this number seriously and use it to purposely disturb people.

Otherwise, it's just a number.
