In case you haven't noticed, today is 6 June, 2006. Or, put another way, 06.06.06. Or, put another way again, 666, or the mark of the Beast, the Devil's home address and a sure sign of eternal torment for all of us. In short, it's a pretty unusual, once-in-a-century event. Although, of course, if you haven't noticed it's 06.06.06, that already suggests that the date is far less important than some evangelical Christians have been hoping. Indeed, if you're still reading this article, you've already proved quite a few people wrong. Because, according to the conspiracy theorists, we should already have been visited by some quite nasty plagues by now. What's more, all copies of The Scotsman should have been consumed by fire, thanks to the giant comet that's due to strike the Earth. And, just supposing that the paper did survive all that, your attention would have been grabbed by the blinding sight of the Lamb of God transporting 144,000 Christian virgins up to heaven - leaving the rest of us to tidy up the mess.
The number 666 has taken on such cosmic significance because of a bizarre verse in the Bible's psychedelic Book of Revelation: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred three score and six." No-one has been able to give a straight answer about the precise meaning of these words since they were first transcribed in the fourth century AD. Their significance is anyone's guess.

Actually it is 6/6/06, not 666, 6606 means nothing. Only time it has ever been 666 is in the 6th century. 6/6/6. No end of the world then, no end of the word now. Sorry ppl.

Well, I think the only thing that is close to the apocalypse that's happened here is I accidentally spilled some hot coffee on myself when I woke up this morning. That stung a bit.

omg! all this and more has been foretold in thy great prophecy of 1997: an lo
" coffee shall flow from thy cup, and lo will thy milk run empty. In england, the sky will be... slightly cloudy but mostly clear and according to some the movie the Omen will be a waste of money. And then the usual ground cracking and sky raining fire stuff will happen but they are not important. And so thy earth will be plunged into turmoil and there will be much screaming and chiken dancing to be done by all. And lo, the eaarth shall be wiped clean, in readiness for the second coming, and cheese will once again be plentiful. Also the one they call Evil_E.T will win thy "lottery" and similteanously find a new Burgatti Zonda on his drive." that could happen. Right?

Most historians think the number 666 refers to the emporer Nero, whose name when spelled in Greek, can be added up to 666. This is done by assigning a number value to each letter of the Greek alphabet, and then calulating accordingly.
Nero burned Rome and blamed it on the Christians as a way to drum up popular resentment against them.
The 666 also configures to another Roman emporer, I forget his name, who was also antagonistic to Christians. So it could have been him, too. Remember, the Emporer Constantine evnetually embraced Chrisitanity, making it the state religion after years of persecution and throwing Christians to lions at the games. Emporer Julian, who came after Constantine, despised the Christians, and tried to reverse Constantine's Christian acceptance edict -- Julian might have been successful, but he was killed in Persia before he could carry out his full policy.
But this points out that some books of the Bible, like revelations, were written for political purposes by early Christians. The Rev. authors wanted to take slap at Nero, so they cook up this book of fake revelations -- and today, people have swallowed the whole hoax as having some kind of real meaning, thinking everything in the Bible is God's divine word.
Anyway, I have heard the movie is laughably bad. That little devil boy should have just been sent to bed without any supper, or had his X-box priviliges revoked.

Welcome, Gandalf!!! I think it's a good sign that you joined today!
BTW, a lot of pregnant women who are due today are hoping theywon't have their babies today. I guess thousands of woman are asking to be induced early, or have a C-section so avoid having their baby born on 666 -- jeez for dumb.
Another interesting note: When Pres. Ronald Reagan retired to California, the number on his house address? You guessed it -- 666. His superstitious wife had it changed to 668.

As pointed out, 6/6/6 only has happened once, maybe twice if you count BC and AD.. and even then, that was the name that WE gave it.
We have an 06/06/xx06 day every century, 6, 106, 206, 306, 406, 506, 706, 806, 906, 1006, 1106, 1206, 1306, 1406, 1506, 1606, 1706, 1806, 1906, 2006.
I wonder if the devil employs the home office to run armageddon..

Jun 6 2006, 06:24 PM
not to try to start an argument

but we do identify "06" as just being 6 simply. 03+03=06 OR 3+3=6
so in a way it is 6/6/6....06/06/06. Either way, its just another day.

I know this is a bit off topic, but if there is an ANTICHRIST.
He must be the complete opposite of the ALMIGHTY. hmmmm.
My conclusion... the closest thing is: President Bush. However, i know he is only the face to represent in the media. There are more powerful evil creators in this world.

We, the people, have thought of this number of the beast, which only has meaning for as far as we allow it to. Then there's the dates, designed by us, the people, as being this and that day now and then, based on the circulation of earth around the sun, and still not good enough, because we skip a quarter day every year. Hence: Feb 29th. Then there's our, the peoples, way of abbreviating these custom designed dates.
In other words: it's all been designed by people, so where do the gods come in?
Okay, there was a fire in London in 1666. But it's only due to the date that we still know that. Which date did the Hindenburg crash?
Though some scum did break into my car last night...
IronGhost
Jun 6 2006, 08:05 PM
The Hindenburg went down on May 6, 1937. Well, at least their was one six in the date.
But, the Hindenberg was a Nazi airship, so it probably would have special protection on a 666 day.

I wish I could agree but the Anti-Christ is suppose to be someone unlikely, I believe.
So not George W. Bush. I was thinking more of someone who has descendents of the nights of templar (sounds impossible) or someone else with a grudge against the world powers- meaning Christianity or America.
He would be almighty, just no one yets knows it.. His power is his stealth, and soon his true forces will be unleashed upon the world.

Then Christ will appear, with the same stealth power, and save the world.

Anyway, this is merely ancient Hebrew numerology, which is pseudo-arcane nonsense. Even Christian theologians cannot agree on the exact translation. The passage may indeed be 6-1-6...though that doesnt sound as interesting.

[attachmentid=26188]Numbers have no control over time it is just how we keep up with it. People panic over some stupid things in life. On this website I have to keep in mind that we have a mix of those that believe in God and those that do not. I myself am a strong believer in God and I always will be nothing can change this. But I do not hold it against anyone that does not because everyone has a choice in life. But 666 may be the number of the beast but people it's just a number like any other number. Depending on how you apply that number in your heart is how it becomes evil. Depending on your own belief is where your heart will take you. I had no doubt when I went to bed around 2:AM on 6/6/06 that when I woke up the day would be no different that any other day. And now its 2:02 AM 6/7/06 and life goes on. Put your faith in more meaningful areas of trust not in numbers. If or when this Old World should ever end it will not be written and it will not be told. It will just end and no one will be able to do anything about it. What we have now today cherish and hold tightly and thank what ever God you believe in for it. Time is only a measure of existence as our own clock ticks towards its last breath into the unknown.
