Re: 666?

People have pretty much hit the nail on the head. 666 is the mark of the beast, who will be personified on Earth as "the Anti-Christ." After the rapture, when all Christians will be taken up to heaven, the 7 year tribulation will occur, ruled by the Anti-Christ. People will be required to take the mark of the beast, on head or hand. Why, I'm not quite sure, however I believe the theory about it being a sort of micro-chip/identification/payment means/etc is valid. Anyone who does not take the mark will be killed, and will go to heaven, as they have refused the Beast. This is my understanding of "666," anyways.

If you see it as a page number, on your license, on a house, etc, don't worry, it doesn't mean a thing. Avoiding that is just like avoiding the number 13. I don't believe "666" will really take any effect until after the rapture.

BTW, I'm also a Christian, believing in God, Jesus, the Bible, etc, however, I'm more of a thinker/theorist than religion follower. Born and raised Baptist, but have ventured off slightly with some of my own theories.
