"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six," (Rev. 13:18).
666 is the number of the antichrist, the end times figure who will arise with the purpose of opposing God and God's people. 666 is the gamatria of the name of the antichrist.
In Greek and Hebrew there are no numeric characters. There are only alpha characters. For example, the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, etc. are alpha characters. The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., are numeric characters. They are different -- except for the letter "o" and the number "0". When the Greeks wanted to write a number, they used letters for numbers. The Greek letter "alpha" had the numeric equivalent of 1. The next letter "beta" has the numeric equivalent of 2, and so on. (CARM has a chart of the Hebrew and Greek numeric equivalents if you are interested in more information.)
Therefore, whenever a word in Greek is written, because the letters are also numbers, every word has a numeric value. This numeric value is called a gematria. The Greek word for Jesus (IhsouV) has a mathematical equivalent of 888. Also, the Greek word for fish is 1224.
What the Bible is saying is that the future antichrist will have a name that when it is written in Greek, its numeric equivalent will be 666.

Six six six is the number of the beast (aka the devil) as stated in the bible. People do forget that is was also an amount of money that came to Solomon in one year. But primarily, the focus is on it being the devils number. Often 666 signifies evil and therefore is a mark on the child Damien, in the movie "the Omen". they released it on 6-6-06 as a bit of a publicity thing. The verses are below:
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.
Revelation 13.18
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.
I Kings 10.14

it's supposed to be the sign of the devil. A devil-child is born on that day, and he's got a birthmark on the back of his head with 666. Unless you have a child with a 666 birthmark on the back of his head, I wouldn't worry about it. The date is June 6 , 1966 (in the original movie) What a great idea for the new version to come out on June 6, 2006 !

6 is the devils number. My birthday is actually June 6th, so this year it was 06-06-06. I thought it was pretty cool, but some people are scared of it, thinking another 9/11 attack will happen, which it didnt thank goodness!

The correlation between the numbers "666" and "The Omen" is that in most peoples' minds the two are associated with evil. In the book of Revelation "The Beast" is said to wear the number 666 and some believe the beast to be the anti-christ.or at least controlled by him/her/it.

Just the release date of The Omen, and a good way for them to promote the movie.

The 6 6 6 thing only holds true to the sixth day in the sixth month of the sixth year hence, 6/6/6 a.d. In other words the antichrist was already here. Maybe still. Nobody but God knows.
