Thanks Heyang, it's amusing the way some people take this biblical prophesy seriously. I think there will be a new version of The Omen soon to be released. Maybe on 6/6/6.heyang said:

I'm thinking we need to wait a few years for 6/6/6666.

I think AD 106 would have been about right. Jesus said,antmanb said:
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be fulfilled.'' (Matt. 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32).
So people of the generation that Jesus was addressing on the Mount of Olives that day, well, the youngest of them would have been about 70 by the year AD 106. So that seems like a pretty good ballpark guess.
BTW, Michelle Kwan's birthday is on the seventh day of the seventh month -- the luckiest day of the year.

PS. In fact, the seventh day of the seventh month of the Chinese calendar is a holiday, in honor of Chih-nu, the daughter of the emperor of heaven:
Cowherd and Weaver Girl (Wikipedia)
In another story, popular throughout Asia and with many differing versions, the Jade Emperor (the god of heaven) has a daughter named Chih'nü (literally: weaver girl). She is most often represented as responsible for weaving colorful clouds in the heaven, in some versions she is instead a seamstress who works for the Jade Emperor. Everyday Chih'nü descended to earth with the aid of a magical robe to bathe. One day, a lowly cowherd named Niu Lang spotted Chih'nü as she bathed in a stream. Niu Lang fell instantly in love with her and stole her magic robe which she had left on the bank of the stream, leaving her unable to escape back to Heaven. When Chih'nü emerged from the water, Niu Lang grabbed her and carried her back to his home.
When the Jade Emperor heard of this matter, he was furious but unable to intercede, since in the meantime his daughter had fallen in love and married the cowherd. As time passed, Chih'nü grew homesick and began to miss her father. One day, she came across a box containing her magic robe which her husband had hidden. She decided to visit her father back in Heaven, but once she returned, the Jade Emperor summoned a river to flow across the sky (the Milky Way), which Chih'nü was unable to cross to return to her husband. The Emperor took pity on the young lovers, and so once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, he allows them to meet on a bridge over the river.
Go Michelle!

As ladyskater had also mentioned a while ago
666 has absolutely nothing to do with dates, NOTHING.
http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/meaning-of-666-faq.htm
There is also information indicating the real text - always an issue regarding the bible - from the oldest copy of the "New Testament" still around, states 616 as the mark of the "Antichrist."
Don't loose sleep.

Factoid: The Greeks regarded 6 as a "perfect number" because it is the sum of all of its proper divisors. (The numbers that divide evenly into 6 are 1, 2 and 3, and 1+2+3=6.)
The next perfect number is 28. 1+2+4+7+14 = 28.
Euclid was able to give a formula for all even perfect numbers. To this day it is not known whether or not there are any odd perfect numbers. :scratch:

That's the plan, Joe! I don't know why they're remaking it (although anything that keeps Lev Scheiber employed is all right by me), but they're releasing it on 6/6/06. I'll let you know if anything Biblical happens on opening day.

I love the way you always manage to bring it back to Michelle, Mathman! You know who else was born on 7/7?
Ringo Starr, the luckiest man of the 1960's.

That is another reason that I think the book of revelations is talking about the fall of rome. As far as I know there were no "numbers" in hebrew, amounts were written out.
To me it is really just hogwash, wishful thinking and the inability to die - If that be all - never understanding it all. People hate leaving things to chance, particularly when chance could be a cause.

And I was born on July 7th too at 7:17am. Hasn't made me rich or famous but I don't consider myself unlucky either.

I'm reading a lot of posts about Astrology although that science is not mentioned. Nothing to do with biblical prophesy but there's so much about the stars. the fault lies, dear Brutus, not in the stars but in ourselves. Those two star crossed young lovers of Cremona(?) if they had cell phones, they'd be alive today. Why should we wish for the moon, when we have the stars?
I'm sure there are many other great lines for stars but not enough for 666
Go see The Omen and believe.

I admit it... I'm totally superstitous when it comes to anything biblical... So yes, I took yesterday off and refused to leave the house... Just like I did on Dec. 31 '99. I figure that if the world is going to end, where's the best place to be? On my comfy couch watching All My Children or at the office pretending to be more important than I am? Easy choice...
