I once had a store clerk flat-out refuse to ring up my purchase of $6.66. She MADE me buy a pack of gum. Just think, a lowly pack of gum stood between SATAN AND ME.
eta: SATAN AND I
thank you, irc grammar police :)

personally, I think the bible is speaking metaphorically about the end of the world. That's not to say I would not run if a 20 foot guy with horns says to me; BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME, I AM YOUR LORD!!!
oh dear. heh...well this is embarassing... I just scared myself...:(

The New American Bible passage, (the notes underneath are the interesting part)
(
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__P12W.HTM)
Quote:
16 It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,17 so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast's name or the number that stood for its name. 18 (8*) Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Quote:
8* [18] Each of the letters of the alphabet in Hebrew as well as in Greek has a numerical value. Many possible combinations of letters will add up to 666, and many candidates have been nominated for this infamous number. The most likely is the emperor Caesar Nero (see the note on ⇒ Rev 13:3), the Greek form of whose name in Hebrew letters gives the required sum. (The Latin form of this name equals 616, which is the reading of a few manuscripts.) Nero personifies the emperors who viciously persecuted the church. It has also been observed that "6" represents imperfection, falling short of the perfect number "7," and is represented here in a triple or superlative form.
-an authoritive account? :P
I was always a little bit disappointed to find that these end of days have long since past... well when i say disappointed I don't mean I was wanting to egg things on at all..

Well, wouldn't there have been 21 06/06/06's already? So 21 Antichrists then? Except that the whole BC/AD // BCE/CE thing was invented in 525AD, so would that only be 15 Antichrists? What calendar does God use anyway? What International Time Zone is God in?
The bible doesn't say 666 has anything remotely to do with dates. CNN on a slow news day has.
Only 14 more hours of this lame joke, then we can give it a rest... for another ten years. :tsktsk:

I foresee major sibling rivalry.

That's nothing. I once had a body-art specialist refuse to tattoo the number 666 in indelible ink onto my scalp. OH COME ON FELLA STOP CRAMPING MY STYLZ.
