I got this from an Atheist message board...
Pretty cool if you ask me...

Actually it has to do with numerology. Which is part of ancient mysticism. In ancient times numbers meant more than just number. They had alphabetical value to them, and also had mystical meanings as well. Such as the number 3, which means incomplete or even strife.
In the tarot cards you notice the suits only went up to 10. 10 is the number for accomplishment. 1 is the the beginning.
That's why I always laugh at theist who try say the anti christ will come on the 6th month of the 6th day in a year ending with 6. Or when they ad up all the ages of the people in the bible to determine how old the earth is. They haven't a clue of ancient numerology.
They are simply stating that they lived for a long time. Same thing with it raining for 40 days and night. It rained for long time.
Numbers in ancient time, as I mention have alphabetical value. you have to take your name, and go by a chart and number off each letter of your name. Calculate the total and come down to a single digit. My real name equals 7. And like star charts discribes you personality.
Now if you caculate the number 666, in the ancient way, using the charts they used, you will come up with Nero Ceasar. An emperor people feared so much, they were afraid he would rise from the dead and reek havoc upon the world. Thus proving once more that the bible is based on its time.
Do not go into a debate with this on me. Because I won't. I'm not a theist or occultist, not any more. Yeah I dabbled in the occult. I still check out those sites every so often.
