Not only is it in the Bible, But if you know how to correspond certain letter to numbers. 666 will spell out Satan.,as well as evil............ The sad thing about this world is that people just don't believe that pure evil exist in this world.... And believe's that people have the choice's to preform either. And in many, many cases that belief is very far from the truth. Satan is a very real enity and so is his fallen angel's. And one day in the near future this world population will wake up to that fact, But then for billions of people it will be to late for them to do anything about it..................

The only place that the number "666" is mentioned in the Bible is in the book of "Revelation".
You can find it in the 13th Chapter, in verse 18.
This is where the number 666 originally got related to the devil.

Revelation, Chapter 13 speaks of the beast and how to identify his followers. According to verses 16 and 17, they will have the mark or the name or number of the beast on their right hands or foreheads. Verse 18 introduces the number 666 itself: "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."
It's unclear why the specific number 666 is the number of the beast. According to Dial-the-Truth Ministries, the number 6 is the number of man because in the Bible, God created man on the sixth day. Elsewhere in the Bible (Matthew 16:23), Satan is described as being "man-centered" (as opposed to God-centered). Thus the devil's number would be a twist on man's number. This is just one theory, and the number 666 has generated plenty of debate.

It's the number of the Antichrist. According to Revelation, the number of the Beast is the number of a man, that number being 666. Satan got tagged with it because he will be indwelling the Antichrist when this happens.

This is what i remember:
The devil ruled over some people or something. And every decision had to go through him. People who wanted to trade (i think it was) had to have the mark of the devil to say they had permission. That mark was 666

from what one historian said Nero Cesar's name numerically added up to 666. this was the person referred to since Nero burned Rome and blamed the catastrophe on the Christians.

"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."
I have no clue why though other than the Bible says it.
