The Da Vinci Code and the whole controversy has renewed interest in symbolisms, and there is no more symbol that has fascinated or rather spooked modern times than the number 666, the so-called “number of the beast.” The Anti-Christ!
And tomorrow, 06/06/06, the remake of “The Omen” premieres in the US. The movie tells of Satan returning to Earth in the guise of a little boy with 666 tattooed on his forehead.
Tomorrow’s date is 6/06/06 (remove the zero’s and you get 666!), and the superstitious are seeing the date’s numbers as an omen of something that will happen, presumably something dark and evil. Some doomsdayers are waiting for the coming of the Anti-Christ, which others deem to be another terrorist attack on the US.
The number 666 and its significance comes from the New Testament book of Revelation. But I did a little research and soon found out that the Revelation was written by first-century Christians who were persecuted by the Roman Emperor Nero, and they used “666″ as a code for his name, thus the evil connotation of that number.
There are people who are afraid of 666. This fear is called “hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia”.
Expectant mothers are avoiding the 06/06/06 date of birth for their babies, either by delaying their labor, or moving their delivery a day ahead, possibly by caesarian section. They fear that they will give birth to the Anti-Christ. Funny, no?
Oh well, let’s hope nothing bad really happens tomorrow June 6, 2006. Do not stay at home, who knows who will visit you. Bwahahahaha!
Better watch The Omen - WATCH THE TRAILER.
can’t you distinguish 6/06/06 from 666 bastards?
Well, those ANTI-CHRIST numbers were sucks. it doesn’t make sense because 06 (June) /06 (day) /06 (Year)were not exact and nonsense, and, remember we are not on the 6 century it’s already 21st century. It should read 06/06/2006 making year 06 as a year 2006. If applied to the number 666 it should be 662006!!…hahaha….
for the sake of publicity ata eto e. You know naman many of us loves controversy…
Theyre making money out of it. Even the Da vinci code…
Gullible na nga ba tlga ang tao.????
TSK TSK TSK!
