Is 666 found anywhere in the Bible besides in Revelations? Just what does it represent? Why are people so scared of the number?

The answer to the infamous number '666' mentioned in Revelation is found in 1 Kings 10:14 -

"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold."

In other words...666 has NOTHING at all to do with the devil, as so many "religious" leaders have taught. It represents "gold" or in other words MONEY!

This information comes from an amazing new book titled "666 The Mark of America - Seat of the Beast". There is a website that explains EXACTLY what 666 means. http://666america.com

666 is a code given in the Book of Revelation that is related to Ezekiel 21:25-27. There is word there in verse 27 that was said three times for the Profane and wicked Prince of Israel. The word in some Bible is "Twisted." The Prince in rankings number is 9 and the King is 10 meaning absolute ruler. There is one prince in Israel whose position had been twisted three times and the 9 (which was 999) became 6 which became 666). Meaning he is not the real prince idolized as such but the false prince or false teachings of the religion about this prince. Furthermore, if you will analyze Revelation 13, the Beast of the Sea says the beast have seven heads and one of the heads was "fatally" wounded and the "fatal" wound was healed. Is there any character in the Bible that had been severely wounded and taken for the dead but came back to life in three days?

Revelation 13: 18 states that "six hundred threescore six is the number of a man and that man is found at I Kings 10:14 " the weight of gold (money) that came to Solomon in one year was "six hundred threescore and six talents of gold." Common sense would than dictate that 666 is money, which everyone has in their right hand. Unless people are the devil there is no reason to be scared. Visit 666america.com and read all about it in the most powerful book ever written about Revelations. Tom Cruise said best SHOW ME THE 666 !!! He,he he :-)

Revelation 13:18 (New King James Version)
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

In Revelation 13:18 it says "Six hundred threescore and six" I have a problem with this though. The word score, to represent times 20 is an Old English term. Score didn't mean times 20 in biblical times. So, if we're going to take the saying literally, the sign would be 600III6 (score meaning a line). But then again, you have to take that a step farther, you have to determine what 600 and 6 looked like in biblical times. That is the symbol of the beast... if there actually is one.

After jumping out a Babylonina frying pan 666descendants of Adonikam and many other descendants of Israel remained in captivity for their crummy ideas of inequality and putting their families above their neighbors. People are afraid of 666 because people used to count by 5s according to how many fingers and toes God gave them but when folks start counting by 6s Solomon took advantageof impaired reasoning from nuclear mutation and sold the first Pizza to Teemage Mutant Ninja turtles for 666 talents of gold. Really Scary stuff!

i think the Bible is a valid source for a controversy, there are some people who do purely no longer prefer to hearken to it, so there is not any ingredient in arguing. once you tell them appropriate to the Bible they get indignant and attempt to argue each and every ingredient in the international against the Bible. they do purely no longer prefer to be held in charge to absolutely everyone or be persecuted as a results of fact Christian's are no longer of the international. once you think in God and the Bible, you will get made exciting of, perhaps additionally be killed for it, however the advantages is extra desirable in the dominion of God. people who deny Him now, will properly known he's God while He returns: Philippians 2: 9-eleven " 9. hence God has quite exalted him and bestowed on him the call that's above each and every call, 10. so as that on the call of Jesus each and every knee could bow, in heaven and in the international and under the earth, eleven. and each tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the honour of God the daddy."

From what I've learnt -

Revelation 13,18:
Let him who hath understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a MAN, and the number of his NAME is 666.

VICARIVS FILII DEI

Apply roman numerals to this:

V=5
I=1
C=100
L=50
D=500

VICARIVS FILII DEI = 666

'Vicarius Fillii Dei' is the Roman Latin phrase for the official title of the Roman Catholic Pope.

The pope is one of the beasts of the revelation.

It's a rather paranoid numerological representation of the emperor Nero, whom John thought was going to return to the throne and begin persecuting Christians again.

Given the very human notion that the "apocalypse will happen in my lifetime," generation after generation has scared itself witless with the vague prognostications of "Revelations" in order to believe that the end of the world was just around the corner.

It's pure silliness.
