    Great question! There are a TON of theories on this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast

    Thanks for prompting me to look this up I learned something new.

    From what I recall, 6 is an imperfect number while 7 is a perfect number. 666 is the following:

    6 = Dragon (Satan)

    6 = The Beast (Antichrist)

    6 = The False Prophet

    Simple.

    In the Book of Revelation, the beast and the false prophet come to power when the 6th seal is opened, when the 6th vial is poured out, and when the 6th trump sounds.

    6-6-6!

    No one has ever been able to successfully prove any other theory about this, so only time will tell, but the at least the above is a sure thing, and is also easily proven from scripture.

    It is the numerical symbol of unholiness. Since the symbol of GOD is 7 meaning fullness, completion and perfection, the 6 is the ultimate symbol of imperfection and incompletion. The Hebrews often repeated words and phrases to stress importance (this type of writing is very evident in the book of Psalms) the fact that there are three 6's only serves to reidify the unholiness of it's meaning.

    Computers run on a system of 6s.

    000001, 000010, 000100, like that!

    There is already a code in existence that is used to

    keep track of billions of items. It has 3 sets of

    2 thins lines in it. That is the #6 in that particular

    code.

    It's on the back of most things you buy at the

    grocery store!

    But it won't just be getting the mark that will mess them up.

    The will have to "join the club" so to speak. I can

    see masses of people engaging in drug induced

    sexual orgies, while evil sorcerors use their misguided

    spiritual energies to try and bring demons bodily into

    our world!

    is the symbol of evil apparently,

    maybe because its not 7 or 3

    two holy numbers trinity is 3

    and 7 is lucky.. and is used quite a lot

    hence 777 on slot machines.. lol

    I'm pretty sure it has a deeper meaning than what is mentioned in the Bible
