  1. OK, there are two types of significance to these numbers:  the actual significance of the numbers as attributed by scripture, and the significance of the numbers as attributed by numerologists

    Of these 3 numbers, only 666 is attributed any significance by scripture, and that is the number of "the beast" of Revelation.

    The numbers 777 and 888 do not appear in scripture.  777 is not a number traditionally used to refer to God, nor does it spell out God's name (which has 4 Hebrew letters, not 3, and those letters are not all the same), nor is it the seal of God, nor does it have any significance in Revelation or any other biblical scripture, as it does not appear in Revelation or any other biblical scripture.  Some claim that 7 is God's number of "completion" or "perfection", but this is not an attribute assigned to this number by the bible, only by numerologists.  The significance of the number 7 in the bible is that of the 7 days of creation / 7 days of the week.  This is the primary significance attributed to the number 7 by scripture.  Revelation refers to 7 churches in Asia (present Turkey), and some assign significance to this fact as well - i.e. consider this important when other 7s appear in scripture.

    Kabbalah (specifically, Gematria) may attribute significance to the number 777 that might be considered "traditional" - but that is not relevant to Revelation (which is a Christian scripture) or any other New Testament book.  Again, the number 777 does not appear in scripture anyway.

    888 does not appear in scripture.  I do not know what significance numerologists assign this combination with regard to scripture.

  2. 777 spells out God's name and 666 spells out Satan name...

    And the number 888 come from a Oriental tradition that means good luck............

  3. 777 is the number traditionally used to refer to God, whereas 666 is the number which is the mark of the beast. 888 is a mark of good luck, though less used

  4. 666 is written in revelation as the number the beast, the devil, or satan

    Rev 13: 18 ... and his number i six hundred threescore(60) and six. = 666

    777 is the seal of God. In revelation it is a significant number. The seven seals, the seven scrolls, and 7 angels.

    888 (no acount in the bible) is found in chinese geomancy, feng shui. Eight in chinese rhymes w/ the chines word for wealth. They believe that the mystic circle 8 symbols eternal wealth and prosperity.
