The numbers 666 are viewed by Christians as the mark of the beast and anyone of takes the mark of the beast will go to hell this is pretty much said in the holy bible in the new testament book of Revelations. Now some people argue that the book of Revelations is a prophecy and some say it was a secret code for the Christians to communicate with each other with out being persecuted... some say the numbers 666 are the numbers associated with the roman emperor Nero who was in history referred to as the beast..........

The meaning of 666 - the number often referred to as the Mark of the Beast - is a highly contested concept. The number 666 is found in Revelation 13:16-18: "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, 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. 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."
John MacArthur explains the meaning of 666 this way: "The number represents the essential number of a man. The number 6 falls one short of God's perfect number, 7, and thus points to human imperfection. Antichrist, the most powerful human the world will ever know, will still be a man - a 6. The ultimate in human and demonic power is a 6, not perfect, as God is."1
MacArthur goes on to explain that the three digits emphasizes man's identity. When Antichrist is revealed, he will be identified with this number.

666 is the mark and number of the beast, the Devil. In "Revelation 13:16-18 talks about that "he compells all [alike], both small and great, both the rich and the poor, both free and slave, to be marked with an inscription [stamped] on their right hand or on their foreheads so that no one will have the power to buy or sell unless he bears the stamp (mark, inscription), [that is] the name of the beast or the number of his name....his number is 666."
This marking isn't supposed to happen until after the rapture during the tribulation - but many people are still freaked out by the number. I admit, even my family perfer adding a penny to a bill of 666. Haha. for more information on it check out goshen.com do a search using the bible study tools.

Without going into too much detail: people used to equate the number 666 or 616 with Nero, the Roman Cesar who watched Rome burn and did nothing about it. Thus 666 was directly related (or inferred) to be evil. So 666 was associated with Rome burning, burning and fire and brimstone, and finally hell and the Devil. Now 666 is modernly associated with devilry or Satanism. That, plus clever marketing for "The Omen" is pretty much it.
