The number 666 is mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically in Revelation 13:18. This verse reads: “This calls for wisdom: let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”

The meaning of 666 has been the subject of much speculation and interpretation over the centuries. In ancient times, numerology, the practice of assigning numerical value to letters (known as gematria in Hebrew), was common. Some scholars have suggested that 666 is a code that, when applied to a particular numerical system, refers to a specific individual’s name. The most famous theory is that 666 refers to the Roman Emperor Nero, whose name can add up to 666 when transcribed into Hebrew.

Yes, somehow, it will make complete sense at that time.

Except to those who are lost and will take the Mark of the Beast.
