666

What a sign!!!

From Wikipedia

One interpretation is that 666 encodes the letters of someone’s name or title, identifying the Antichrist. However, since the reader is free to choose the code, any name can be matched to the number by finding an appropriate code, cf. Vicarius Filii Dei.

To be convincing, interpretations invoke arguments other than mathematics to prove their point. For example, scholars who believe that the Book of Revelation refers to historical people and events argue that the number represents the value of “Nero” or “Neron Caesar”, written as נרון קסר, “Nrwn Qsr”, using Hebrew letters, which also have numerical values under the form of numerology called Gematria:

Revelation 13:16-18 states:

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom: let anyone with the understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

The fear of the number 666 is called hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Ahistorical versions of Christian eschatology, believing that these prophecies refer to future events, typically hold that the Mark of the Beast is one way in which the Antichrist will exercise power over the Earth during the period of Tribulation. Exact interpretations of this vary widely.^{[citation needed]}
