666 - The Mark of the Beast

Today is the day 666. It's the 6th day of the 6th month in the 6th year of this millennium. Ain't it funny?

So I googled "what does 666 mean?". 6,310,000 results for this words. That's a lot. :) Anyway, I found two sites saying pretty much so I'll just take it as real. They say that the Bible, written 2000 years ago, describes "the beast", the devil, under the number of 666. "666" - the mystical sequence of number that causes many to catch their breath and recall verses from the Bible. The sequence of numbers representing one less than perfect (777). But what does it mean? When will it happen? Could it happen today?

What does 666 mean and can a name be calculated from it? Strangely, the answer is a resounding "yes". The Hebrew alphabet does not distinguish between characters and numbers like the modern day English alphabet. For any given letter there is a numerical equivalent. Using the table above you can calculate a numerical value from a word by adding the numerical value of each letter in the word (click the image for a full size view of the table). What does "Jesus" calculate to? 888. One more than perfect (777).

As stated above, many believe that the numerical value - 666 - represents one less than perfect (777) and further support this by the fact that "Jesus" totals 888 (one greater than perfect). Others believe that it represents a numerological value of the Beast's actual name. Some claim it's merely a representation of some sort of number based system that will be implemented to buy and sell products.
UPC barcodes, when first introduced, caused many to speculate that the tagging by the Beast was about to begin. Decades later - no evil tagging was initiated. But today, a new method of identification sounds strangely similar to the warnings given in the Bible and many people are beginning to panic.
