Intriguing write James. This number has and will continue to instill fear in people. When I lived in Columbia KY the courthouse in the town circle had the number 666 under one of it's turrets. Creeped me out for sure.. Thanks so much for sharing this information with us and for always taking the time to read my writes. Have a wonderfully blessed day~Mary~

In the Jewish alphabet, each letter has a number that corresponds (I suppose that it would be similiar to numerology). In Revelations its says that man that shall come into power that we believers call anti-Christ or satan in the form of a man, this person's name shall weigh or equal to the numbers 666. In other words, when his name is added up it will equal to 666... Great write that reminds us that we see this number cropping up more and more in our money system..Sara
