With all the conversations about the end times, this date has become the newest point of interest.
So many people are noticing the '666', which, according to the Bible, is man's number for the antichrist.
People freak out if their groceries total to $6.66, they rip up checks with the number 666 in it and they totally refuse to have anything to do with the number.
One person told me they received a dollar bill with 666 in the serial number and they just had bad luck the whole day.
Let's see what the Bible has to say about the number '666'.
Revelation 13:11-18 (NASB) Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Now, I'm not an expert on the Bible nor am I a mathematician. But I do know that it's been almost 2000 years since this Book has been written and no one has been able to identify the beast.
There are many rumors: the sum of the letters of Hitler's entire name came up to '666' is just one of them. Do a Google search and you'll find tons.
Understand what the Word is telling us. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORSHIP ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE BEAST. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL WITHOUT THIS DISTINGUISHING MARK.
The Word is telling us to be observant and understand the times. Don't be carried away by signs and wonders. Look to the Word, pray for understanding and don't worry. God has it all under control. Judge everything by the Cross.

No...I am still not Googling that number...you do it...LOL!
I so failed science, but I recall someone saying that it may have to do with DNA because we have 6 somethings, 6 something elses, and 6 other things, that make up our DNA. Too, "the number is that of a man," it could be anybody. I just know that we'll know without any doubt. I highly doubt we'll be guessing when it happens. The Bible even tells us that we shouldn't be getting upset, we've known for what 2000 years now that all this is going to happen. I'm ready to get it over with so we can get to the reigning with Jesus part!
By the way, I found you through CWO.
Amen! Thanks for looking me up.
Arrgh! I am afraid, i fear that the end sghal truely come! I think i may take the day off next month.
Hold me!
We follow the Christian calender. Recent studies have shown that due to the mathematical errors made in the calender when it was first created, we are in fact 5 years behind the year we should be in.
In which case, we shouldn't be in the year 2006. We SHOULD be in the year 2011.
Therefore, the triple six should have occurred on June the sixth of 2001.
The triple six of 1906 should have occurred on June the sixth 1901.
Therefore, due to the fact that we are already messed up with the current calender as is, the actual triple six is long since past, is it not?
