666 - Your thoughts are out of balance right now, focused too much on the material world or due to mental or emotional imbalance. This sign indicates your thoughts are not clear and you should not continue with this train of thought. Let it pass.

Or 6+6+6=18=1+8=9 Endings
Number 9 - Artistic genius, humanitarianism, emotionalism, dissipation

Nothing in life is to be feared, It is only to be understood.

In the Bible, the Book of Revelation (13:17-18) cryptically asserts 666 to be associated with the beast, an antagonistic creature that appears briefly about two-thirds into the apocalyptic vision. The author challenges the reader to figure out the symbolism of this number, a challenge that has inspired mystics and would-be prophets ever since. The number 666 has become one of the most widely recognized symbols for Satan or the Devil. Earnest references to 666 occur both among apocalypticist Christian groups and in explicitly anti-Christian subcultures. An appearance of the number 666 in contemporary Western art or literature is more likely than not a conscious reference to this number of the Beast symbolism. It is not uncommon to see the symbolic role of the integer 666 transferred to the digit sequence 6-6-6. Some people take the satanic associations of 666 so seriously that they actively avoid things related to 666 or the digits 6-6-6. This is known hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (literally, "fear of the number six-hundred and sixty-six") is the fear that originates in the Biblical verse Revelation 13:18 which indicates that the number 666 is the Number of the Beast, linked to Satan or the Anti-Christ. Outside the Christian faith, the phobia has been further popularized as a motif in various horror films.

The Number of the Beast concept comes from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Number is 666 in modern texts, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source. Many church groups and theologians disagree about the meaning of the number. Some scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero, a view that the Roman Catholic Church supports. One interpretation is that 666 encodes the letters of someone’s name or title, identifying the Antichrist. The Antichrist is believed to be Satan.

"Here is a call for the wisdom of interpretation. Let anyone who has intelligence and insight enough calculate the number of the beast for it is the number of a certain man; his number is 666."

"Let the person who has good understanding learn the meaning of the other way to write the name of the first wild animal. The name is a man's name. It is 666."

OK well there are two reasons, first it stand for Cesar Nero, who was the most evil roman emperor ever, he killed many Christians in very bad ways (feeding them to lions, beheading you get my point) any ways in the Hebrew alphabet if you (and I forget how) give the letter numbers (A-1, B-2 etc) they add up to 666, since Nero was in charge back that it was sort of a code, but on the other hand some people say it is interpreted wrong and the number of the beast is actually 999? So I hope this confuses you more since really it is up to the individual how they interpret it.

Other theories exist, but this is the most popularly accepted:

Seven is considered a "complete" number, as are 3, 12 and 14.
By adding or taking away a value, It is generally thought that the numbers would no longer be lucky or whole. Thus, 6 and 13 are unlucky.

This is why, in America, Friday ( the 6th day of the week) the 13th is considered one of the most unlucky days of the year.

Also, as to why the devil's number is 666 and not just 6 is simple. One six is not as "powerful" as three of them.

Where Christ was a devil wasn't far behind, and personally I interpret this as an attempt to smear me and make trouble for me, by attempting to mark me with that mark of the beast, something you would expect if there was also what our ancestors referred to as devil existing out there. After all, if a devil was against someone, and a devil first heard of that 666 mark of the beast, then it would follow that it would soon become the number of the beast would soon become the favorite number of a devil as well, which doesn't surprise me.

Ian is right.

They say that 23 is also an unlucky number, 2 devided by 3 is .666. Their was a webpage where the number 23 came up in bad things that happened.

Venetia is correct. To add to that, I have been told that any bar code can be mathematically reduced or changed to 666. Thus, Christians refuse to have bar codes implanted in the near future for ID purposes. They are the mark of the beast. Think it's silly? It's in the news now. People will go thru a store and make purchases, then swipe their bar code over the 'cash register', a no cash system.

666 was the number which Ceaser put on all merchandise,
it was the number of taxes.

it was put in place to opress the people of Rome, which
it was later put into the Bible as the mark of the devil,

those who wrote the Bible usually wrote about real people
just named them 'the devil' or 'lucifer' for they could not
speak out against the real people,
such as in Ceasers case.

so all you Bible loving buffons. [x you are the weakest link.
muwahah.
