The most recurring and terrifying
number for decades has been 666. The number of the devil, the
Antichrist, the "beast" that wants to enslave humanity and lead it
astray from its true purpose and destiny.
Fear paralyzes; it keeps people
enslaved and makes them easily manipulated.
The number "666"
is one example, as are baptism in the Roman Catholic Church and other
religious rites performed on babies.
I felt the need to address this
in order to eradicate this fear. I sought help, I meditated, I read about it,
and little by little, a pattern emerged. Everything became clear.
I understood that I had to
separate it all from mysticism and religion, but addressing both subjects—baptism
and nr 666—was too complex. So I started with nr 666.
Later I was inspired to delve
into artificial intelligence and ask it questions. Starting with the number
666. I hadn't yet worked with AI and was somewhat wary. Anyway, I went to
ChatGPT, registered, and started asking questions. I knew I would immediately
know whether the answers were absurd or not.
To my great surprise, precise and
objective information emerged, giving this number a completely different
meaning. It even confirmed my suspicions with historical facts.
So what to do now? It was decided
to transcribe all the answers to my questions from ChatGPT in a single session
and publish them online. This would allow the reader to form its own opinion,
to disregard or not the alarmist rhetoric surrounding this number, and perhaps
even to overcome the fear.
Or to keep searching. Because
that's the essence: seeking answers by following your intuition, and in doing
so, you learn to deepen your inner connection. Each question leads you to
another, ad infinitum. No questions, no answers. Many questions, many answers.
Even answers you didn't ask for.
Originally, I wanted to know where science stood in its research on human
"consciousness" or the mortal human mind,
according to the definitions of The Urantia Book.
But I stumbled upon something else which must be certainly related, because the
human mind is very easy to manipulate. Once you know how it works, it’s a piece
of cake to make belief anything to people or to induce fear, a long lasting
fear for generations.
Here are my questions and answers
from "ChatGPT." I haven't changed a thing. I copied them word for
word, as instructed. This seemed paramount in these times of turmoil and
uncertainty, where everyone, in the current conflicts, points the finger at the
other as "the devil." How can we resolve such conflicts with
ancestral roots, where neither side trusts the other, and restore peace? A
lasting, enduring peace? Not a temporary peace, nor a temporary armistice.
The end.
Question 1: What is the origin of 666 – the number of
the devil?
The idea that 666 is “the number
of the devil” does not originate from the Middle Ages or Satanic traditions,
but directly from the Bible, and therefore dates back almost 2,000 years.
Its source: Revelation 13:18 (New
Testament), written around 90-95 AD.
It is referred to there as “the
number of the beast.”
In its original context, 666 was
probably a symbolic or coded criticism of a certain Roman emperor, likely Nero,
through a numerical code (gematria).
Question 2: Why 666?
In Hebrew and Greek, letters also
represent numbers.
The name “Nero Caesar” can be
converted into the numerical value 666. This number was therefore used as a
code, because openly criticizing Rome was very dangerous.
Question 3: When did it become "the number of the
devil"?
Later, in Christian tradition,
the "beast" was associated with Satan, making 666 the symbol of the
devil.
This phenomenon occurred
primarily in the Middle Ages and was subsequently reinforced by art, mythology,
and popular culture.
Short answer:
→ The number
666 first appears around 90-95 AD in the biblical Book of Revelation and was
only associated with the devil in later Christian traditions.
Question 4: Why do some ancient manuscripts mention
616 instead of 666?
There are indeed ancient
manuscripts of Revelation that indicate 616 instead of 666, and several
historical reasons explain this.
-
Variations related to gematria (name →
number).
The number of
the "beast" was likely a coded reference to the emperor Nero. Because
his name was written in different languages, its numerical value was sometimes
666 and sometimes 616.
-
How does this work?
In Hebrew:
"Nero Caesar" (נרון קסר) →
666.
In Latin
(abbreviated form): "Nero Caesar" (נרו קסר) →
616.
So it's essentially the same
idea; only the spelling of the name differs.
-
Differences related to copying and language.
Ancient
manuscripts were copied by hand. Some communities were more familiar with the
Hebrew form, others with the Latin or Greek forms. This led to variations in
the number that appeared in the margins or within the text.
-
Ancient manuscripts containing the number 616. Some
important examples:
Papyrus 115
(P115) – from the 3rd century, discovered at Oxyrhynchus.
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus – a later
palimpsest.
Both
bear the number 616.
-
What do researchers think about it today?
The vast
majority of manuscripts bear the number 666, and this is considered the
original version.
But the number
616 is taken seriously because it historically corresponds to variants of
Nero's name and to ancient textual traditions.
In short:
→ 666 and 616
both likely refer to the emperor Nero, via a numerical code.
The difference stems from the
linguistic variants of his name (Hebrew versus Latin).
Question 5: How did the number 666 enter modern
culture?
The number 666 is ubiquitous in
films, music, memes, and horror stories these days, but this is the result of a
long evolution in which religion, literature, popular culture, and the media
have mutually reinforced each other.
Here's how the
number 666 entered modern culture:
1. Middle
Ages: 666 as a diabolical symbol
In the Middle Ages, the Book of
Revelation began to be interpreted literally.
The "number of the
beast" was associated with Satan, the Antichrist, and the end times.
Serums, art, and moralizing tales
imbued the number 666 with a terrifying dimension. This laid the
foundation for later popular culture.
2. 17th-19th
centuries: Literature and occult movements
Writers and mystics began using
666 as a symbol of:
- occultism
- hidden knowledge
- darkness or evil
During this period, 666
gradually became a cultural icon, distinct from religion.
3. 20th
century: Cinema and mass media
The popularity of 666 then
exploded.
Notably, thanks to:
-The film "The Omen"
(1976) – The Antichrist's child bears the number 666.
-Horror films of the 1980s and
1990s – Demons, possession, and satanic rituals used this number as a recurring
motif.
The films reached a wide audience
→ 666 became a visual symbol of evil.
4. Music
(rock, metal, punk)
Examples:
Iron Maiden – The Number of the
Beast (1982)
Slayer, Black Sabbath, Marilyn
Manson, Ghost
This led to associating 666 with
rebellion, provocation, and anti-establishment sentiment.
5. Satanic
Panic (1980s-1990s)
A major moral panic in the United
States made 666 the symbol of:
- Satanic cults
- hidden messages in music
- “dangerous” youth cultures
The media spread this idea worldwide.
6. Internet,
Grannies, and Video Games
Starting in the 2000s, 666
became a playful symbol:
- Grannies - (“Oh my God, my receipt was $6.66 😱”)
- Video games - (bosses, levels, HP 666)
- Usernames and graffiti
- Humorous and provocative
content.
Its terrifying meaning has
transformed into a popular culture cliché.
Summary:
The number 666 has become
integrated into modern culture through:
- its religious origins (the
Bible)
- its demonization in the Middle
Ages
- literature and occultism
- horror films (major impact)
- rock/metal music
- media panic surrounding
Satanism
- the internet and ‘meme’ culture
This mix has transformed 666 from
an ancient symbolic code into a universal icon of popular culture, recognizable
by everyone, even those with no religious background.
