Number 666 in the Bible
666 is the most infamous number in Scripture. Revelation 13:18 identifies it as 'the number of the beast' — a number representing imperfect humanity (6 repeated three times) in opposition to divine perfection (777). It has generated more speculation than any other biblical number.
