In "Monkey Gone To Heaven" by the Pixies, there's a line about this. Something like, "If the man is five, and the devil is six, then god is seven." Not that this has anything to do with anything.

some nutball writes a story and we take it as fact........even though we've never met the man who wrote it? Okay........um........I advise you people to stay away from Stephen King's work, I'd hate to see you all afraid of Pennywise the clown

ha ha IT

Heres the part from revelations (but slightly changed as this is from Iron Maidens Number of the Beast)

Woe to you oh earth and sea
For the devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred an sixty six

I love that song!

Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six. --- intro to Iron Maiden`s "Number of The Beast"

Sorry, i missed that.

Speech from Iron Maiden song (MP3)

Sorry, i missed that.

The number 7 is a number that is used quite a bit in the Bible. In John's book of Revelation, there were 7 churches representing 7 periods of time. There were 7 days of creation in Genesis. Joshua and his army were to march around Jericho 7 times on the 7th day of marching and the walls would fall.

The number 7 is associated with God, and Godly things. The number 6, however, is 1 less than 7, and therefore less than perfect, less than Godly, representing Satan, who is powerful, yet will never be as powerful as God.

Therefore the "mark of the beast" is 666.

corn

It's used as a diabolical number because 6 is an imperfect number. One MORE than 5 (the number of our digits), but one less than 7.

Nearly 2000 years ago the Apostle John, who prior to meeting Jesus had been a simple fisherman, predicts that a global economic system will one day be instituted in which everyone will be forced to receive a number, without which they will not be able to buy or sell. It is only since the advent of computers and electronic banking that this prophecy could be fulfilled.

Would evil Ozzies have 999 on their forehead?

if god created us in his image and he is a seven, then why are we a five?

how does this sound, (i was smashed when this occurred) supposedly it took 7 days to make the world by god. you may say 6 and he rested on the 7th but the day of rest was required or else the entire world would have fallen apart and god would have died. if it takes god 7 days to be god and 7 days to regulate everything effectively then that would make the 6th day the last day satan could make changes and get away with it. 6 is now the evil number. now why there are 3 of them is where it gets tricky. 3 is a big number meaning anyone could see it and derive any number of one's own meanings. i feel it is the birth, life, and death.
creation of good through evil
creation of life through choice
creation of death through imperfection

any opinions anyone...

The Amazons cool.....

take a bath

Numbers have a meaning in the Bible, 6 stand for imperfection and 6 for emphasis, Gods original creation was perfect until Satan talked Eve into pursuading Adam into going against gods law and ate from the tree of life, it wasn´t the fruit which was bad but the actual act of going against Gods word which caused the imperfection which we all carry in us today.

666 is Imperfect Imperfect Imperfect, just like my spelling
