why do people think 666 is the number of the devil and you can clearly see that 4 is the unlucky number.

4 is Shi in japanese meaning death.

In the Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese languages, the phonetic sound of the numeral "4" is very similar to the word for "death." As a result, many Japanese and Chinese fearfully avoid the number four on licence plates, home addresses and so forth.
Therefore, people who don't speak Japanese and thus have no connotations of death associated with the number 4 should proceed to fear the number four nevertheless....?

Oh, god, I am obsessed with languages. Sorry, being too serious.
Yes, yes....4 is obviously the evil number...

No. The Bible doesn't say that 666 is the number of the devil! Hollywood gave that to you. You really need to stop listening to that mentality. Hollywood hardly ever gets anything right! They want two things: Drama, or comedy. Not anything much beyond that.

666 is the number of a beast.
Revelation 13:18
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

And 4 means the number of the world.

It goes like this:

1 - God
2- Adequate witness
3- manifestation
4- the world
5- grace
6- man, fallen short of perfection
7- Perfection, eternal completion
8- new beginnings
9- divine manifestation
10 - responsibility of man

It is in the Bible... Revelation if I am not wrong. It seems to me that as God works with the Trinity: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Satan decided to have his own trinity which is represented by the number 666. This number also refers to Satan's son who would supposedly be born as a man, just like Jesus, the son of God, was, but I think this is more likely to be a myth than anything else. Some people say that this is the number of the beast and we would have 3 beasts to come. Hitler would be one of them, and although it makes sense to me, it is not proved. Therefore, it has nothing to do to lucky numbers. Stay with the 4.

Peace!

666 isn't even the accurate number and it was actually used as a reference to the Emperor Nero

666 is the number mentioned in the Christian bible, in Revelations, as being the number of the beast.

Just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo hocus-pocus.
