Nikols it is 666, three times the number of man, it is man setting himself up like God . Father , Son and Holy Spirit.. one, two three. 666
No man will be saved by this number.

God-Father said me that lake of fire will contain 0 men!
Means all who have status MAN will be saved!
In my opinion, total number of people which will receive the seal of beast is from
100 000 000 upto 2 000 000 000 that is 1/3 from all who live on Earth.
Thus 666 is number of saved MEN!

I think I follow what you're saying, nic. But, still not a good thing. If you're suffering is not in the lake of fire (i.e. 0 men) it will certainly be here while you inhabit the earth. Take care nic, render onto God the things that are of God, but it makes it harder to do that when you willingly receive that number. It's bad, bad, bad.

Here is some information to ponder.
LIAR= SHEKER
The gematria of Area (SheKeR) is 600: a (shin) = 300, e (kof) = 100, r (resh) = 200 total of all 600
To whom does rea (sheker) belong? gark (LaRaShA), to satan: k (lamed) = 30, r (resh) = 200, (a ( shin) = 300, g
(ayin) = 70 = 600
Satan is the father of lies.
INTERESTING NOTE:
In Revelations we see the number “666”. The number of man is 6, the number of satan is 6 (drop the 0’s), the number of a liar is 6.“666” is a man incarnated by satan, who is a liar.

The context of Revelation from which these passages are found discusses the "Beast," and how that Beast will cause many to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads (Rev. 13:16). Before continuing, let's first grasp the meaning of the Greek word charagma (khar-ag-mah), which is here translated as "mark."
The Enhanced Strong's Lexicon (Strong's # 5480) shows that in the Authorized Version (KJV) the Greek word charagma is translated as "mark" eight times and "graven" once. Strong's further defines charagma as:
a stamp, an imprinted mark.
of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of the Antichrist [there is a traditional error here that I will shortly describe]
the mark branded upon horses
thing carved, sculpture, graven work.
of idolatrous images.
Interestingly, with one exception, the ONLY place in the New Testament where the Greek word charagma is used is with reference to the "mark" of the Beast!
The New Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words defines charagma as:
charagma, a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue):- graven, mark.
The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament states the following with regard to this Greek word:
charagma [mark, stamp]
Marking is common in antiquity (cf. slaves, and the branding of devotees with the marks of deities).
The Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament Based on Semantic Domains gives us crucial insight into the meaning of charagma when it states:
A strictly literal translation of 'the mark of the beast' might imply 'a picture of the beast' or 'a mark made by the beast.' A more satisfactory indication of the relationship between 'mark' and 'beast' would be 'a mark showing one's relationship to the beast' or 'a mark of loyalty to the beast' or 'a mark of the party of the beast.'
Is there a mark of God? If so, what is it?let's look at other passages of Scripture that seem to be overlooked. As you will see, these passages remove the shroud of mystery.
Within the Torah, which is Genesis through Deuteronomy (Hebrew word Torah means "instruction" or "teaching") we read the following:
Exodus 13:9 (NASB)
9 And it shall serve as a sign to you on your hand, and as a reminder on your forehead, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth; for with a powerful hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:16 (NRSV)
16 It shall serve as a sign on your hand and as an emblem on your forehead that by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 6:8 (NRSV)
8 Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead,
Deuteronomy 11:18 (NRSV)
18 You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead.
What is the obvious fact one should notice from these passages? What leaps from the pages as we discuss the issue of the mark of the Beast?
Revelation 13:16 (KJV)
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Almost the exact same phrase is used with respect to a mark - or sign! However, the passages from Torah show the mark to be the mark of God, whereas the passage from Revelation refers to the mark of the Satanic Beast.
