Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear which originates in the belief that the Biblical verse, Revelation 13:18, indicates that the number 666 is linked to Satan or the Anti-Christ.
Whether you have this kind of fear or you are just superstitious about it...read no more....
Coz below, is some interesting intepretation of the number 666.
However if u do not dislike the subject, then drag your mouse over to read....or just press 'CTRL+A'
(it's nothing controversial actually...thought i should hide it, just in case someone find s the reading material...unpleasent)
666...Today may be the mark of 666. Because of the date, 06/06/06, many regard this day to have some certain connection with antichrist, mark of the beast, satan, armegeddon, doomsday, catastophe and the likes. And this dreadful day happens every 100 years..
As mentioned in the bible, Revelation 13:16-18,
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
Revelation 14:9 goes on to say, that no matter how much pressure there is to receive the mark, we must, under no circumstances, receive it: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath."
The Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 (or, in some cases, 616). The meaning of the number is debated. In some interpretations of Christian eschatology the "Beast" is believed to refer to a being controlled by or equated with the Antichrist.
hhhmmm...
i have no idea what it means. But by the sounds of it, it doens't sound good...
Another interesting stuff.....
John MacArthur explains the meaning of 666 this way: "The number represents the essential number of a man. The number 6 falls one short of God's perfect number, 7, and thus points to human imperfection. Antichrist, the most powerful human the world will ever know, will still be a man - a 6. The ultimate in human and demonic power is a 6, not perfect, as God is."
and according to an article in wikipedia, Organic molecules are based on carbon-12, with 6 Protons, 6 Neutrons and surrounded by 6 Electrons.
So, this question is still in debate....
Does the no.666 lie within each of us???
