Why is 666 regarded as DEVILS number?

Answer 1

According to Scholer, the number comes from Revelation 13:18, which says that 666 is a code for Nero, a Roman emperor notorious for torturing and killing followers of Jesus Christ. A phrase in the New Testament, in Revelation 13:16-18 says, “It causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom: let anyone with the understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.”

Answer 2

You didn't ask what it meant you asked WHY is it particularly 666? Right? The number of the "beast" is regarded as 666 because it is less then god..whom is regarded to be 7 whole, perfection and purity. The beast is above man which is regarded as 555 but below god. They used numbers as symbols because communities were known to use numerology and codes when living under Roman rule to avoid persecution. No one actually reads the bible.. they just use movies as references to it. If you actually read it 666 is not as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. It does not necessarily mean the devil or the anti Christ but anyone who is un pure or less then god.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Here are my notes from high school Seminary on number symbolism in the Bible (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). If you read to about halfway down, you can see that the number 666 is "imperfection tripled." We consider Satan is a spirit who looks like a man, and he lives in a place away from the presence of God. The reference to this is found in the Bible. I am looking at the King James version, in the last book of the New Testament, in Revelation 13:18.

Numbers:

1 = God, beginning, unity, Zion
2 = Opposition, deliverance from oppression, Christ-deliverer
3 = First enclosed space, fullness of Godhead (Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost), Atonement, Holy Ghost (third member of Godhead)
4 = Earth, 4 directions, 4 elements, 4 oceans, 4 seasons, mortal men
5 = Grace 4 (Earth) +1 (God) = 5
6 = Imperfection 4 (men’s world) + 2 (opposition) = 6
7 (perfection) – 1 (God) = 6 (man’s imperfection)
666 = imperfection tripled
7 = Perfection, wholeness, completeness, God
8 = abundance (7+1)
9 = judgment
10 = divine order, complete part of whole
11 = disorganization
12 = governmental unity, Priesthood, also the 12 Tribes of Israel, the 12 Apostles of Jesus, and the age a boy is ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Answer 6

Actually the Bible say that 666 is a man's number.

Answer 7

I believe 666 is related to the 6 day 6,000 year idea in early Christianity. Look up what the early church father Irenaeus had to say in Against All Heresies.

Answer 8

Because a number of morons in powerful positions were privy to expound on their individual beliefs on Satan, signed,sealed and delivered; and expected the results to be believed by people with intelligence above their own.
I use the term "Moron" in this respect: A moron is a person who possesses a brain, but hardly uses it.

Sadly, my definition fits a large % of Mankind.
