Not a year, but a "number of a man".

Revelation 13:18 NLT
Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

FYI -
If you look at a UPC code you will notice that at the beginning end and the middle of the code are two small bars to help the scanner align. Those small lines just happen to be the code for 6. Interesting, and I beleieve scripture, but I don't think it means anything. It might have even been done on purpose.


>The 666 is supposed to be the number of the Devil, and was interpreted with the person wich be the reencarnation of him, is also interpreted to the year when the "final day" as: 666 ac., 999 ac, 1666 ac, 1999.

>So, anyway, now I am with the message 667, maybe I'd have to wait to the 999 message!! :-D

>>Some people think about the number 666 is the devil number (or anti-crist), does it mean something while we are near to xMas celebrations??
>>
>>>By the way, I'm just kidding <g>
>
>>The interpretations of this number vary widely. It has often been assigned to someone not very popular in certain circles, like the pope, or Bill Gates.

>>I seem to remember I saw an interpretation somewhere, relating it to historical events in the year 666, but I can't remember the details now. I am not even sure whether that was 666 after Christ, or 666 d.H.
