Triple 6

I'm not sure where this belongs so feel free to move if need be.

I just wondered what is it about this as a symbol of Satan. I have noticed from past experiences being young and impressionable as well as seeing other young and impressionable on the net that this number sequence is very... addictive? Like people use it everywhere like it's a "cool" thing. It's quite odd. Most of the time when young people use this they're not thinking of Satanism but it's still like a "cool" thing. Or even amusing? Like, I'm not sure how to describe it.

I don't know. It's just strange to me.

Wondering what people here think about this.

I found this Prim, perhaps you might find it useful maam:
According to the last book in the Bible, 666 is the number, or name, of the wild beast with seven heads and ten horns that comes out of the sea. (Revelation 13:1, 17, 18) This beast is a symbol of the worldwide political system, which rules over “every tribe and people and tongue and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) The name 666 identifies the political system as a gross failure in God’s sight. How?
● More than a label. Names given by God have meaning. For example, God gave the man Abram, which means “Father Is High (Exalted),” the name Abraham, which means “Father of a Crowd (Multitude),” when God promised that He would make Abraham “a father of many nations.” (Genesis 17:5, footnotes) Likewise, God named the beast 666 as a symbol of its defining attributes.
● The number six implies imperfection. Often, numbers are used as symbols in the Bible. Seven typically represents completeness or perfection. Six, being one short of seven, can denote something incomplete or flawed in God’s eyes, and it can be associated with God’s enemies.—1 Chronicles 20:6; Daniel 3:1.
● Three times for emphasis. The Bible sometimes stresses a matter by stating it three times. (Revelation 4:8; 8:13) So the name 666 powerfully emphasizes that God views human political systems as gross failures. They have been unable to bring lasting peace and security—things that only God’s Kingdom will achieve.
The mark of the beast
The Bible says that people receive “the mark of the wild beast” because they follow it “with admiration,” to the point of worshipping it. (Revelation 13:3, 4; 16:2) They do this by giving worshipful honor to their country, its symbols, or its military might. As The Encyclopedia of Religion states: “Nationalism has become a dominant form of religion in the modern world.”
How is the mark of the beast placed on someone’s right hand or forehead? (Revelation 13:16) Regarding his commands to the nation of Israel, God said: “Bind them as a reminder on your hand, and they should be like a headband on your forehead.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) This meant, not that the Israelites were to mark their literal hands and foreheads, but that God’s words would guide all their actions and thoughts. Likewise, rather than being something literal such as a 666 tattoo, the mark of the beast symbolically identifies those who let the political system rule their lives. Those with the mark of the beast place themselves in opposition to God.—Revelation 14:9, 10; 19:19-21.
 
"How is the mark of the beast placed on someone’s right hand or forehead? "



First of all the njkv is changing the kjv, which states the mark of the beast is in the right hand.

It is the spirit, which is inside of man, not on the outside.

Isaiah 44 gives its meaning, for the deceived heart, who cant deliver their soul, because a lie is IN THEIR RIGHT HAND.



Isaiah 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?




2 Thessalonians and Revelation 13, speak of the working of satan, for the world to believe in a lie ( in their right hand) and the beast of the earth, ( the same man of sin as in 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation 13:18, which we let no man deceive us by any means.) deceives those who dwell on the earth, and causes all to receive that mark of the beast, ( of that man of sin, the son of perdition.) IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, or in their foreheads.

The mark of the beast is a lie, ( 6) the name ( mark of his name) of the beast is perdition, (6) and the number of his name is (6) ( the spirit of error and the spirit of antichrist)



2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 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 threescore and six.

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.



Now we see another right hand, this time seven stars,( the mystery of the seven stars, and the seven golden candlesticks) the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven golden candlesticks are the seven churches.

Christ holds the seven stars in His right hand, and walks in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks. ( we are the seven, (7) held in the right hand of Christ)

In the right hand of Him that sat on the throne, a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. (7)

The Lamb stood, as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. ( seven horns (7) seven eyes (7) seven Spirits of God ( 7)

With the Lamb, where those who had His Fathers name written in their foreheads. ( the name of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, which sanctifies us, HIs Word is truth .(7)..John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.)

Which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. ( the thousand years is as a day to the Lord when it is passed, it is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2. 2 Peter 3:8.)


And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.



Zechariah 4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;


Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.


Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.



Now the summing up.

To get the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, ( the mark of his name) and over the number of his name ( over the 666) is to believe in the victory that Jesus Christ gave us. (777) ( Ezekiel 9:4)


1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
