Why is 666 said to represent the devil?

Answer 1

Because the Scripture says, "Here is wisdom. Let he who hath understand count the number of the BEAST for it is the number of a man. And his number is Six hundred, threescore and six." The number "six" in Bible numerology means "man" or "imperfection". Three "sixes" in one man stands for the unholy trinity of Satan, The Antichrist, and the False Prophet. The "666" system will be used by Satan to exercise socio-economic/religious control over the world of the tribulation era. This is why it's directly connected to Satan with the Antichrist and False Prophet serving as his proxy.

Answer 2

In ancient times, people were very superstitious about numbers. 7 was believed to be number representing infinity, completeness, perfection. 6 represents imperfection. Many teachers and preachers in modern times say that 666 represents the devil, or the anti-christ, but this is a faulty understanding of the book of Revelation. Revelation is a book written about a particular time and to a particular people. The Roman government was persecuting the Church and so Revelation was written using allegory. It is not meant to be interpreted as foretelling specific future events.

Answer 3

Think of 999 as the true teachings of God in the Old Testament and twist the interpretations they made on the teachings in the New Testament and the result is 666. The Chistian Church twisted the teachings of the Old Testament which everyone is taught that it already made obsolete by Jesus teachings. That is the biggest and greatest lie evermade by man representing the devil. Go read the Revelation about the "Beast whose one of the heads was fatally wounded and the wound got healed." Who do you think is the main character in the New testament that was fatally wounded, died and came back to life? Do not look outside the Bible because even Lucifer who is not an angel is also the man written in the Bible and not someone speculated to be coming from outside the Book.
Read word for word slowly and digest the following;
Isaiah 14:12-17,, Take note of the name Lucifer or Morning Star. It says there he is a man who wanted to go high on the mountain top of assembly of god. He was also said to be a man and not an angel who rebel against God. See Matthew 26:64 for man who sit on high and Book of Revelation 22:16 for the one who claims to be the Morning Star (Lucifer)..go to this website for complete information..www.thename.ph

Answer 4

every 666 years, God allows the devil his rein.

yr 666: the beginning of strife in the MIddle East
yr 666 + 666 = 1332: the Black Plague takes 30% of the known population.
yr 666 + 666 + 666 =1998: apostasy, disease, natural disasters of historical proportions....

Give or take a few years, since we don't really know where year Zero is.

God's number is 3, and the evil one, in his pride, wished to be greater than God, so he chose 6 as his number.
