= 694, not 888. you should explain your math better if you're going to give real answers to silly questions.
the idea that 666 means governments are imperfect is ludicrous since God says he himself has placed each person in the authority they are given, and we already know that man is not perfect. nothing is perfect. again, make sure you have your ideas straight and they make sense before you post real answers to silly questions.

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.

the number 666 in the bible refers to a human number not the devil. The number 7 in the bible represents perfection. The number 6 is short of perfection. 666, three times 6's is to point out how imperfect human government is. All those that oppose to "God's Kingdom" are marked with the number 666. NO matter what country your from, France, Italy, Spain, UK, USA, Mexico, Russia, whatever, Non of these governments will bring true happiness and peace to earth. We must wait for God's Kingdom.
Anyway, thats according to the bible.

Well - I suppose all the other Demonic Lords probably should get numbers as well... so folks like Asmodeus, Baelzebub, and the like probably make up the rest...
And then there's 667 - good old George W. Bush...

Start counting at one and end at four billion. Backtrack for every year to an estimated beginning.
