It comes from a verse in Revelations in the Bible that says the number of the beast is 666. Though, there are some interpretations that say it is 616. Either way, it doesn't mean much. There are no devilish beasts, or devils, or Hell. There's no gods either.

It applies to all human run governments which are symbolized by the "wild beast" in the book of Revelation.( Revelation 13:16-18) Just as six fails to measure up to seven (the #7 meaning completeness from God's viewpoint), the #666 is a fitting name for the world's gigantic political system that fails so miserably to measure up to God's standard of perfection.The world's political wild beast rules supreme under the name-number 666, while politics, false religion, big business keep the wild beast functioning as an oppressor of mankind and a persecutor of God's people.

the bible calls out that number. but, back when that gospel was written, st john was exiled to an island by nero. the jewish alphabet, which the text was written in, had numerical equivilants. 666 was equal to nero.
