No, Frances, you'd be surprised, there are people that are afraid of the number (not many anymore, but still some). About two years ago, the Federal government in the U.S. built a highway that was numbered "route 666". Many people turned out to protest and the number was finally changed. When I was growing up in the 1970's, you could go into any office building and get into the elevator, but there was no number "13" (the 13 floor was still there, but it was numbered "14" because there was a superstition about the number "13", Triskaidekaphobia).
Superstitions die hard, but if a company is using #666 in their logo, I wouldn't trust that their products are safe either (FDA approved). |

More Excellent Way, nobody fears number per se. We should discern from the way numbers come up, whether we need to take action or not. If my temperature reads 104 degrees F, I would call a doctor. Not because of an innate fear of this number but because it means I have a fever. Likewise 666 appearing in , for instance a company's logo, would put me off buying their products (especially food). So would a skull and bones, an upside down star, a pyramid etc. I take notice of symbols and numbers, but I do not fear them. |

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia...
is the fear of the number six-hundred-sixty-six.
The number cannot hurt anyone, let alone someone who is a son of the most high.
The fear of this number is only a religious superstition.
Mankind has always replaced the three gifts of God to humanity
1) creation (Father)
2) Son (salvation)
3) Godliness teaching (Holy spirit)
with its own teachings and efforts (the efforts and teachings of the sixth day creation)...3 sixes.
6 is a very common number in everyday life.
In mathematics, it is known as an "abundant" #, a "super abundant" #, and the first "perfect" #. |

So did anybody ever think that you're all right? 666 sign of the devil, anybody ever notice that beer primarily comes in multiples of 6? Could be things that come in a 6 format are the sign. I don't know the exact scripture, but somewhere towards the end of the 666 description it says it takes an intelligent man to decipher the meaning. This came in an epiphany format, I could be crazy, but then again I'm posting on a website devoted to 666 |

I have an opinion, I once heard that the end of the world was not a time but a season. I also heard that 666 means great imperfection. GOD is perfect. An imperfect god could be Money. Maybe it's that time of the season? |

Greek Correction:
In Greek, the mark of the Antichrist is, chi + xi + digamma= cxf.
The Antichrist is, Nebuchadnezzar.
And the unholy trinity is number 666.
In Greek, the mark of God is, omega + pi + eta= wph.
The Christ is, Iesous.
And the holy trinity is number 888. |

Rev_Herb:
Both Hebrew and Greek used letters for counting, so each word had a numerical value. You COULD do the same for the Latin alphabet, butby the same system, a=1, b=2, ...
if you use any old numbers, it's very easy to fit such vague prophecies into almost any agenda.
A facetious example:
If we choose a=85, b=86, c=87, ...
r=102, e=89, v=106, h=92, e=89, r=102, b=86: total=666 |

in some translations of the bible, the number is 616...if that makes things hugely different |

Here is one I came up with, but someone else probably came up with it before I did: Expressed in Roman numerals, "666" is read as "DCLXVI". This is, leaving out "M", the Roman numerals listed backwards. Perhaps the number of man is the number of one who does things backward from the way they were intended, who takes what God has given us and uses it for the opposite purpose. The omission of "M" might mean something, but I can't think of anything meaningful. |

How about in Gospel of John chapter 6 verse 66, John 6:66 reads "From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him." |

"vicarius filii dei" vicar of the Son of God this is on the pope's coat
use roman numerals to figure this out. the u in vicarius can be seen as a v
i=1 v=5 L=50 C=100 D=500
Moderator: This ads up to 656...is that right? |

I happened to catch a TV show that talked about US 666 that passes through the 4 corners area.
While weird and tragic things have happened on it, the Bible DOES say that it's the number of a man, NOT the number of a road.
How many of you have books--including Bibles--with 666 pages in them? |

In Greek, letters of the alphabet serve as numerals. Alpha is 1, Beta is 2, Gamma is 3, and so on.
The letters used to signify 666 in Rev 13:18 in Greek are KhiKsiSigmatav. (Sorry, don't have a Greek font that will work here.) |

Why do people think the 666 refers to letters of the alphabet? Maybe these numbers are in reference to a law or a recommendation giving this person "supreme" power over a 10-nation union. Read about Recommendation 666. google it. |

man created on 6 day his # is 6, man is body soul and spirit, the body is the temple of God,soul is for the mind of Christ,spirit is for intimate relations with Gods spirit. when man is in possesion of these he is the Son of perdition not submitting to God. Body-6, Soul-6, spirit-6. 66 books in the bible add mans opinion 66 6 |

Randy, It may look like numerology, but it is not, instead it is a standard numeration. Since the recorded history of man from the seventh generation, a number and a meaning corresponds to each letter of the first Hebrew alphabet in 3507 B.C. and likewise in the Greek alphabet: A=ox,1; B=house,2; etc. etc. which correlates to each of the 25 characters of the alphabet. |

Elder ... as usual you are right, When you said turn upside down I assumed you meant turn the paper top to bottom over to do so, in which case it does not work. But if you turn the paper 180 degrees, then 999 does become 666. |

Eloy and Debbie, I was just wondering where you got your numbers. Isn't this a lot like numerology? |

---randy on 4/29/06 |
In Scripture numbers have a great deal of meaning. #1 = God; #2 = # of witness; #3 = # of the Trinity; #4 - # of the world; #5 = # of grace; #6 = # of humanity(sinners); #7 - # of perfectness or God's completeness; #8 = # of the new creation - believers, etc. The # 666 speaks of humanity 3 times - Satan, anti-christ and false prophet.

The Holy Bible explains the number, so there's no need to theorize or muse about what is already revealed: N (nu)= 50 + E (eta)= 8 + B (beta)= 2 + U (upsilon)= 400 + C (kappa)= 20 + H (eta)= 8 + A (alpha)= 1 + D (delta)= 4 + N (nu)= 50 + E (eta)= 8 + Z (zeta)= 7 + Z (zeta)= 7 + A (alpha)= 1 + R (rho)= 100= 666
(ref: Daniel 3; Matthew 24:15-22; Revelation 13 and Revelation 13:16-18). |

Elder ... You misunderstood me ... you have to turn 999 upside down AND back to front at the same time. Try 999 upside down, and you get the 6's back to front!
Mind you, it you ROTATE it by 180 degrees then it does work. |
|
---alan8869_of_UK on 4/28/06 |
Alan it must be the translation of engligh that you use. If you turn 999 front to back you will get GGG. Oh you Brits. It is OK to say Brits isn't it? Or is it Stir b?
Anyway I have some ugly pictures in my mirrors at home. |
|
---Elder on 4/27/06 |
No Elder, I do not agree. If you just turn 666 upside down, you do not get 999. You also need to turn it back to front.
Incidently, 999 in the UK is the phone number for Emergency services. I think in the US you dial 911?
But it would put a whole new complexion on this whole subject. |

The Anti-christ appears de-facto having the appearance of a man during the events of the sixth vial, sixth seal, and the sixth trump. Which will all occur during the same period of time. |

---josef on 4/26/06 |
I think 666 is 999 upside down. Who agrees? |
