They come right after 665 and just before 667. Other than that, I think it safe to call it superstition.

The number in question is somewhat of a riddle and takes a liitle bit of Biblical knowledge and wisdom to interpret. The is no consensus, however, on what those numbers actually represent. I can give you hints though. The number of man is 6 due to the fact that he was created on the 6th day of creation.

There probably is no actual "true meaning" that someone in 2007 can proclaim. The wiki article actually does a good job though of explaining.

Right.

Just to add to the article: In Hebrew, not only do letters stand for numbers, they have to because there are no numbers. For a trivial example, the first three verses of the second chapter of a Biblical book would be marked (in Hebrew script): Ba, Bb and Bg (bet-alef, bet-bet, and bet-gimel). gematria (“numerology” ) is an accepted part of Jewish exegesis, and there are number puns and the like built into the HS texts.

No reason to assume that the author of the Apocalypse wouldn’t be familiar with the technique in writing his book.

So I tend to follow the scholars that go with “Nero.”

Good. 🙂

I'm Bad, but I'm no anti-christ. 🙁

RB, is the anti-christ supposed to be male, female or maybe it can be either?

It's extremely bad luck to be superstitious.

Interesting.

It’s part of a prophecy about a time in the future. People converted during the reign of the Antichrist will understand what it means. Until then anything else in conjecture.
