666 is called the Number of the Beast. It comes from the Christian Bible, specifically Revelations 13:18, which says "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" (New King James Version). The whole chapter (Revelations 13) goes in to greater detail about the beast.
The book of Revelations, depending on which scholar you talk to, is considered either a prophecy of the end of the world (which hasn't been fulfilled yet), or a thinly veiled allegory of the persecution the early Christians experienced soon after Christianity was founded. Either way, the Beast is generally interpreted to represent a man called the AntiChrist, defined to be a very strong world leader and the most evil person who ever existed or will exist. Many people have been accused of being the AntiChrist, among them Emperor Nero, various Popes, Hitler, and various current world leaders.
The number itself, 666, comes from number symbology that is used throughout the Bible. In this case, 6 is used to represent Man, an imperfect number (just as humans are imperfect), where 7 is a perfect number. Also, 3 is used to represent God. So, 6 repeated three times (666) would represent a Man setting himself up to be God - the AntiChrist.
In popular culture, 666 has come to represent any sort of allegience to Satan, just as the AntiChrist is considered to be Satan's representative on Earth. As a result, many people consider the number to be not just unlucky, but actually evil. Others use it to flaunt their rebellion and distain for society and take pride in the reactions they get.

The mark of the beast is a triangle. Look at the symbol above the 6 key on your keyboards. An equilateral triangle has three equal sides with each angle measuring at 60 degrees. Look at the cover album for ChVrches. The American Dollar has a pyramid and the eye of Horus. On this pyramid there are 72 bricks. 72 names of God. Horus was the son of Osiris the God of the underworld. In Egyptian mythology Osiris had 72 accompliced plotting against him. Isis was his wife...Isis is the first beast. Horus can be interpreted as the Anti-Christ or the second beast.. In the time of Moses, Upon Gods command placed his staff on the floor. His staff turned into a serpent. the Pharaohs magicians mimicked and their staffs became two serpents. Where do you think they got their powers? They worshipped false idols. Osiris is Satan. Satan and his works are amongst us so pay attention.THE NEW XMEN movie and the end credits shows a Character named APOCALYPSE building a PYRAMID in mid air.If you are interested in learning more please add me to facebook. al.masch.50

In the book of Revelation it is described as the number of the beast. It is not 666, it is six hundred, three score and six.

correct - also ALL letters have Roman Numerals attached to them
V=5 X=10
Nero Redivivus = 666 in Roman Numerals
in latin - Nero lives again
Nero persecuted Christians
