I was born on June 6th, 2002. I have grown up all my life with people saying to me things like: ” good thing you weren’t born four years later,” or “anything special happen on your birthday in 2006? Because that would be weird.” At that time, I didn’t know what about a number could be so ominous. Then grew up and realized that there was number called “The number of the Beast.”
Most people know that the number of the beast is 666. This number is supposed to signify the antichrist, but also allows for people to make connections with the number anywhere they can. Throughout history, there have been many attempts to connect the number with different Roman emperors, world leaders, and dictators. However, as many people have discovered, it is easy to morph this number into a lot of different names, dates, and even places.
Whether or not you believe in this sort of thing, you can’t deny that people have been obsessed with this number for a long time. There have been many calculations as to whom the number might refer to, or if the “beast” has even walked among us. In Revelation, Daniel mentioned the coming of the rapture, as well as the “beast”. Since the rapture has yet to come, there is a possibility that the “beast” is still yet to come, but I guess time will tell.
