Where does the number 666 come from? How did that get associated with Satan or Hell? Is this something that the Catholic Church believes?

Thank you for answering my question!!!

P.S. I have a TON of questions and I love the fact that I can post them on CAF and get answers!! 👍
 
Hi OscarsMama!

I love getting my questions answered on CAF too! It’s a great resource!

The number 666 being associated with the devil comes from Sacred Scripture:

[BIBLEDRB]Revelation 13:18[/BIBLEDRB]

Hope that helps!
 
Briefly, the Jewish symbology of numbers is the reason for the multiple sixes; seven is considered a number of perfection, thus the multiplication of sixes represents “falling short” of perfection and then some!
 
I think it was a symbol for Nero in the book of Revelation
 
I believe that the numbers associated with Caesar Nero’s name in Latin add up to 666. Along with what the others above me have said.
 
The simple reason for 666 is because it is represented by the Roman numerals: DCLXVI. One of each digit. It is much like a modern writer saying that a mysterious number is ‘654321’.
