In the bible the devil is supposed to have 666 on his head? What in Roman numerals?

Question

So what would this look like seeing back then they didn't use roman numerals etc.

I guess they spoke hebrew well what would 666 look like in hebrew or what ever language it was then?

Answer 1

The Bible doesn't say that the anti-Christ will have 666 on his head or forehead. It said that the number of his NAME will equal six-hundred, three-score, and six (a score means 20). Back when John wrote The Revelation, the Roman numeral system had been in place for quite a while. But John wrote that book in Greek, supposedly, so I don't know if we're supposed to use the Roman numeral or Hebraic numeral equivalents to figure out the number of his name. Or maybe we aren't supposed to use any numbering system. I really don't know, but I think that when he shows up, it will be obvious to many (maybe even everyone).

Answer 2

666 top
The sum of six of the seven numerals is D+C+L+X+V+I=666. The letter M is missing. This is a nice playing with numbers and results from the pairs (1,5), (10,50) und (100,500).
It is more interesting that 666 is the largest triangular number of equal numerals. There is 666=1+2+3+...+35+36=36*37/2.

The number 666 came in twilight, because it was called the "number of the animal" in the Bible:
Hier ist Weisheit! Wer Verstand hat, der überlege die Zahl des Tieres; denn es ist eines Menschen Zahl, und seine Zahl ist sechshundertsechsundsechzig (Offenbarung des Johannes 13,18 in Luthers Übersetzung).
In interpretations of the Bible the number of the animal is a bad number and is also called Number of the Beast, Satan's Number or Antichrist's Number.

Consequently people found 666 in the Roman emperors' names Nero and Deocletian, because they persecuted Christians.
In the 16th century, the times of the Religious Wars, 666 was connected with Luther's name and - in reverse - with that of the Pope.
(Book 2, Seite 347 ff.)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pope's example uses the principle of the chronogram.
The Pope was called VICARIUS FILII DEI (Representative of God's son). If you add the values of the Roman numerals, you get 666 (VICARIVS FILII DEI).
Look on the internet with the string 666 and you are flooded with information, if you like.

Answer 3

Satan won't have it on his head. It says the number of the beast is 666, and people on earth will have to have the mark (666) in order to basically do anything, buy food, get paid, etc. This will probably come in the way of something computerized, like bar coding or that new chip that you wear under your skin. Anyway, it is a mark on your forehead or right hand.

So, if you are a follower of Christ, do not receive that mark in any form as it dooms you to follow Satan. Even if it means certain death, do not take it.

The number is actually: Six hundred threescore and six, although a different Codec recently found says it is 616 not 666.

And it's in Greek, as that is what the Bible was translated from. Greeks got it from the hebrew or verbal hebrew and wrote it down in Greek.

ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ. (hexakosioi hexēkonta hex)

Or:

χξϛ´ or εξ εξ εξ.

And the Mark or number is apprently used in commerce.

No one can buy or sell without the mark (the number of the beast).

WWW is 666 in Hebrew (VAV or WAV)!

So I guess the internet is the anti-christ!

Answer 5

Remarkably, 666 is the largest number the Romans could write in that time using all letters only once. The letter M for thousand is invented several hundred years later.

So if you use all letters only once, you get
DCLXVI which is 666

Answer 6

My question to you is Where in the bible does it say that The Devil Has 666 on his forehead? Give Me Book Chapter And Verse!

Answer 7

Where does it say the Devil is supposed to have the number 666 on his forehead?

I believe you are referring to the mark of the Beast and the Bible says it will be "IN" the forehead or "IN" the back of the hand not on.

The Devil is a fallen angel. He is referred to as "...the Angel of Light." He is not the mytholgical icon with a pointy tail and a pitchfork, sorry.

Answer 8

the number 666 - "6" is the evil number. "7" is the holy number. The 666 suggests that those who accepted the Anti-Christ and denied Christ, would have a mark on them that would allow them to trade, buy and sell, buy groceries, buy gasoline, etc., only if they had the mark of the beast tatooed or imprinted on their hand or their forehead. Some believe that will be a barcode of numbers that will be regulated and designed by the Beast---Satan---that the Anti-Christ will implement for Satan.

Answer 9

I don't know exactly. But someone once told me that 666 equals www in the hebrew numerical system. So, www.-----.com.... Not exactly a good answer but food for thought at any rate.

Answer 10

This number, 666, has actually been shown to be a mis-translation. The number of the beast is actually 616, the digits of which add up to 13, the imperfect number.
