What does 666, the number of the Beast, mean?
Bible prophecy describes a powerful leader and his government or empire as the Beast. Can we know what his mysterious number, 666, means?
Answer:
The number of the Beast, 666, is associated with the mark of the Beast and the name of the Beast in Revelation:13:17. We are told to “count the number” and that it is “the number of a man” (Revelation:13:18). One early explanation is attributed to John’s disciple Polycarp, who, according to his student Irenaeus, said this number is derived from adding together the numerical equivalents of the letters in the word Lateinos, the Greek word for “Roman”—this being the name of the Beast empire, its ruler and everyone in it. So the number may well denote this general distinction, though it could also be more specific.
Another explanation is that the Bible associates the number six with man; God made him on the sixth day of creation week. The number 666 is a triple repetition of the number of man and emphasizes that this beast represents a government whose base is human authority, as opposed to God’s authority.
As with the mark of the Beast, God’s people will reject it. They will “have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name” (Revelation:15:2). However this prophecy is fulfilled, it is clear that accepting the mark or number will involve compromising and contradicting God’s commands. Having proof that one is officially associated in some way with the Beast will be necessary for one to be allowed to engage in commerce (Revelation:13:17).
The Book of Revelation Unveiled Exactly how the end-time number of the Beast, 666, will be used and applied is not yet clear. But in some way it will be associated with the Beast’s name and applied to his evil activities.

What do you think 666 stands for? I have no idea.
I think 666 has to do with day of the week you worship God.
"In the name of Allah"

those folk who accept fagots as the norm, wear the mark of the beast...maybe...(?)
Hey...it's only an opinion....
I believe that our SS# and direct deposits are a convenience, not NWO, but will be used to make every person submit to that Mark of the Beast. With that submission will be a renunciation of Jesus Christ, Jews, and Christianity. Taking over the INTERNET is a part of that change. So do not love your internet more than your hereafter. I think one will know if they take the mark on their forehead or hand or if they remain faithful....the ultimate test.
I hope the pre Tribulation Christians are right, and the ‘calling away’ will come first, but there are the Mid-Tribs and the End Tribs...who say we have to go through the Tribulation. NOW, I think the Tribulation is for Israel and the Middle East, but will affect the whole world.
I’m not a Prepper per se, but I do believe in keeping several months of food on hand... I think if Obama keeps power through this NWO method, then we have no more elections including 2016, and the SHTF. AND if that’s the case... it will be a house to house search for food, silver, gold, and any other things they can take. And being in the country on a farm won’t matter. Stalin/Lenin killed millions. Stopped the farming, destroyed the farm machinery and starved millions intentionally. This is evil, pure evil. What is going on in Mosul will come here. ISIS was armed by our government in Syria,as the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is doing all this stuff intentionally, he is not stupid....he wants to rule with the NWO.
Now I think this President is a part of that change, and although we do not see it yet.....maybe a part of the actual world domination that is planned. That would explain his smugness and arrogance in what he has been promised for doing this chaos. There is ‘the purge’ of Christians, Jews, and others who will not submit that has been taunted for years. The reason many are fleeing our country, but they will not be safer anywhere else. This border crisis, and his meeting with Central American Leaders etc all play into the world domination plan. All by design.
Those bankers and politicians backing him feel they are protected but that too will backfire, this is not a controllable world, hence the reason for Jesus return at the Battle of Armageddon. The Bible is clear, and they may destroy Christians by millions??? I don’t know how far it will go, but they will never destroy God’s Word.
The Bible says ‘Better is the day of one’s death than the day of one’s birth’...we are safe, if we hold onto the fact that we are eternal. We transition to heaven, this is just a shell that holds us. Our soul is made up of our mind, our will, and our emotions....the flesh and the spirit war after the soul. We fear or have faith, that will be the test.
My guess is that 666 (with 6 being the number of “man”) stands for the worship of man rather than God. The beast will institute a world government that finally puts into practice the humanistic ideas that we don’t need God, man can be gods themselves ........... 666 = man-man-man (humans who think they have evolved into petty little gods)
And the scripture in Revelation pretty much sums up God’s reaction to that!
