Added the meaning of the number
The Number of the Beast is sometimes also referred to as the "Mark of the Beast". It has been commonly used in popular culture, for example in ''[[The Omen]]'' series of movies. Some people interested in Bible [[prophecy]] have pointed to many parallels between the modern economy (such as the use of [[bar code]]s and [[RFID]] tags) and the potential for a system such as the one described in the book of Revelation. <ref>Relfe, Mary S.

==Meaning of the Number==
Many prophecy teachers regard the meaning of the number 666 to represent the timing of when the identity of the [[Antichrist]] is revealed. Since most scholars regard the [[Abomination of Desolation]] as the point in time in which the Antichrist is revealed, they postulate that Isaiah 66:6 could denote the Abomination of Desolation, since the verse denotes the commotion within the Temple in Jerusalem. The number 666 refers to the numerical denotion of the verse. The verse reads:
"Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound of the LORD repaying his enemies all they deserve." (Isaiah 66:6)
Starting with Isaiah 66:1 and reading through the chapter, one might consider the reason behind the Abomination of Desolation: The Jews are reverting back to the old practice of sacrificing animals- when in actuality, the Mosaic Law was fulfilled in the [[Atonement]] of [[Christ]]. The Jews have denied Christ and are worshiping in the newly rebuilt [[temple]]. In other words, God is using the Antichrist to punishing people for denying his Son, Jesus Christ.
Interestingly, numbers weren't added in the Bible until the invention of the [[printing press]].
