If one is inclined toward Hebrew numerology 3 = a perfect number including the heavens, earth, and the regions below the earth; 4 = the four corners of [or all] the earth, so 7 = perfect completeness [4+3]. 6 is short of perfection [much like a 6 foot plank to cross a 7 foot gap]. 3 6's is a fullness of imperfection. As usual, interpretations depend greatly on the time period one is talking about as such understandings did change over the years. The numerology of the 666 would be Greek [they actually used the letters of the alphabet as numbers at one point [alpha = 1, beta = 2 gamma = 3, etc], though the number of letters in their alphabet did change over the years]. I don't think it at all possible to put every possibility out on the table and chose which one is 'correct'. We have to do the same thing in all instances when doing this sort of thing, which is to start with the answer we want then chose the method that fits the desired result. Like I said, entertaining, but only of use to support a preconceived answer. It also doesn't take much to get me started on such topics. I'll quit. Again. BillR

In his book, 6-6-6 was six to the sixth power, to the sixth power (a very large number).
