    AFAIK (newspaper this morning, I'm no bible buff) revelation 13 verse 18 talks about the number of the beast. It says that the number of the beast is the number of a human namely 666.

    The intriging part about this is that Hebrew uses numbers as letters, so 666 could also be a name, the name of the antichrist who apparently has a human form. (I don't know for sure, but I thought that the Hebrew written language doesn't use vowels, so the name could be longer than just 3 identical letters).

    Correct you are. In chinese, 8 sounds like the word for 'good fortune', and 4 sounds like the word for 'die' or 'death'. In Mandarin, 1 sounds like the word for 'have to'. So 11114 would sound like 'got to got to got to got to die'.

    Hebrew doesn't have vowels and V=W and J=Y (Yahwe=Jehova), so there's still room for doubt.

    Not really. The New Testament was not written in Hebrew. I think it was written in ancient Greek... Or somesuch ancient language...

    Yesterday, because some website asked goths to commit suicide on 06/06/06 or something, all parents of pupils at school who the teachers considered goth-ish got either an e-mail or a phone call asking them to keep an eye on their kids; this includes my best mate and my sister, which is great because she's always denying she's goth. I've been teasing her about it all day.

    Wacky or no?

    Here's what the New Testament actually says in Revelation 13:16-18 (King James Version):

    16 And he (antichrist) 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 (666).

    The New King James uses the word calculate instead of count. In other words, it will not be that simple to figure out. In reference to 17, and buying and selling, take a look at the image below. The number 6 is represented in the barcode as two thin lines close together. Now look at the three 6's at the beginning, middle, and end. 666 -

    Apparently (according to a programme I saw on National Geographic), if you use Hebrew numerology, the letters in "Nero Caesar" add up to 666, and it is he they were refering to in the bible when talking about the anti-christ... I don't know about the validity of that, but he was jolly horrid to Christians, and taking into account when the gospels were written, it would seem possible that early Christians would consider him the anti-christ.
