Why is the devil's number 666?

Question

Is 777 God's number?

Answer 1

Rev 13:17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

Before the invention of figures by the Arabs, in the tenth century, letters of the alphabet were used for numbers. The Greeks in the time of Homer, or soon after, are thought by some to have assigned to their letters a numerical value corresponding to their order in the alphabet. If you are familiar with the Greek of the New Testament, an argument can be made that the 666 is an allusion to Emperor Nero. Just as easily an argument can be made that the 666 refers to a "Latin Power" or, the Roman Catholic Church, Julius Caeser Atheus, Luther, and others.

As you can see from the above, there is no consensus on the interpretation. The antichrist is figurative, not a literal person, but a body of belief that denies Jesus is the Christ, the second person of the Triune God.

1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Answer 2

Satan's number is not 666.
Scripture tells us that it is the number of a man, specifically, antichrist.

Scripturally speaking:
3 is the number of God;
6 is the number of man;
7 is the number of completion;
8 is the number of new beginnings.

Answer 3

actually 3 and 40 are thought to be God's numbers. It's somewhere in the book of Revelations the 666 thing. I can't tell you where because I read the book of Revelations once and I ain't gonna read it again.

Answer 4

666 is man's number.
It means imperfection is emphasized.
So that by the time of the start of the Great Tribulation, the core of mankind that will serve Jehovah with a complete heart has been found and the rest of rebellious mankind will face the judgment from God.

Answer 5

Nero Caesar in Greek is "Ner?n Kaisar" which thransliterates to "???? ???" in Hebrew. It has a numerical fee of two hundred + 60 + a hundred + 50 + 6 + 2 hundred + 50 = 666. in case you transliterate the Latin directly to Hebrew, you lose one n, reducing the fee by potential of 50, giving the fee of 616 which looks in some older texts. undergo in suggestions that using Arabic numerals got here nicely after the texts have been written.

Answer 6

It has something to do with man, because mans number is 6. I don't know about the whole 777 thing.

Answer 7

6TH SEAL; Teaching you that Antichrist is coming to deceive.

6TH TRUMP: The action whereby Satan comes to earth to deceive.

6th VIAL: The consequence of Satan coming here to deceive.

666 -

When Scripture says "COUNT the number of the beast" - that word "count" is not like when you count 1-2-3-4, etc. - the word count in the manuscripts means "to enumerate over a long period of time, as when a stone is worn smooth by water running over it for a vast period of time".

That means if you want to understand the mark of the beast, you have to go far back in time to find its beginning. So where is the beginning of the "mark of the beast"?
In the Garden of Eden: the mark was placed on Satans own son when he was thrown out of the Garden. Yep, Cain. Thats where you would begin if you want a clear understanding of the mark.

Answer 8

His correct number is actually 616 wich is either Neros name in Roman numerals or thats what the numbers along the lines of his letters in his name add up to or are... i'm not really sure but i know that it has to do with Nero

Scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,

Answer 9

The devil's # isn't 666 that is the of the anti-Christ and 6 is the number of "man" and is about the weakness of man. The anti-Christ is a man who is possessed by the devil and is "against Christ", against the ANOINTING, and that means against all of God's believers who are "the anointed ones". WE believers took away, through Jesus Christ as our LORD and Champion, the devil's stolen dominion of the Earth from Adam and Eve and now it is RESTORED to US who believe.., to us who are anointed with Jesus' anointing!!

Answer 10

I don't know why it's 666, but I've also heard that 3:33 a.m. is the most evil time. Also, I've heard that 3:33 p.m. is the best time. I'm not that superstitious, so I don't get it either.
