Irenaeus suggested that the number indicates that the beast is the sum of all apostasy committed over the course of six thousand years.[22]
Robert Graves suggested that DCLXVI, 666 in Roman numerals, is an abbreviation for the Latin sentence “Domitianus Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit”, or “The Emperor Domitian violently killed the envoys of Christ”.[23]
The Roman numeral writing of 666, "DCLXVI" is also the first six Roman numerals, written in descending order.
In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), the number 666 may be considered mystical and holy and may represent the physical universe.[24]
The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Beast for which 666 stands symbolizes many governments. The Beast is said to have "a human number" in that the governments that the beast symbolizes are all of a human origin, they aren't made up of spirit or demon entities. The number 666 is also believed to be symbolic, standing for imperfection. The number seven is interpreted as being a "perfect" or "complete" number based on the fact that it is used frequently in the Bible to signify completeness, for example Psalm 12:6 and the Genesis creation week. Just as six is one short of seven, imperfection is short of perfection, and hence six is interpreted as symbolizing imperfection. Six is repeated three times for emphasis, producing the number 666. [25]
666 multiplied by three, a Biblical number, is 1998, which can refer to the 20th century Gregorian calendar year, albeit no history-shaping Christian event happened in that year. However, some may say that it could be the year a certain technology was developed that would be put into future use, or that it is a birth year of a person whose role to play is yet to come.

This is a superb and well researched answer with only one flaw, a human one. The original text of the Revelation unto St John the Blessed was mistranslated in Germany. The real number of the beast is 626. Shame, as it doesn't have the same ring to it.
The myth of the 666 has been propagated by the Omen books, and by cinema, and is now one of the great urban myths.
The 626, though, is thought by many to represent a Pope who has not yet come, and will be at the root of Armageddon. St John was a gnostic and would not have approved of the church of St Peter in its design and authority.

Hello brother, we both know that 666 in revelation is referring to the imperfection of these worldly governments. Numbers in the Bible are often time symbolic. Whereas 7 represent perfection and 6 is less than perfect; therefore,6 respresent the imperfection of worldly governments. The repetition of 6 three times indicates just how far from perfect they are.

I don't think that's right. Give more evidence.

I haven't been sucessful in finding reference to the number 666 in the Bible. So far it has no meaning to me, other than a good lottery pick.

Revelation says, it's a man's number. Human governments have claimed they want to do and can do what God has vowed to acomlish soon through His messianic kingdom[Daniel 2:44]. For example, trying to achieve world peace, yet what has always been the result to their promises-a total failure, for sure this mark[666] is befitting our human governments which the bible call beast, that is because of the blood shed that they are guilty of.

I live in Italia, and as you know, the most important religion is the catholic one. I'm neither catholic nor christian, so I think that the number 666 has the same meaning of any other number. There is no difference among the n.666, the n.566 or the n.766. It's a number like the others.
