The number 666 has been used in a song called Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. Some people just know it as the bad number and in this article we will look into why.
History of Empire Nero Caesar
The British Museum tells us Caesar was not at all the tyrant he was believed to be as the people who wrote about Caesar were people who wrote great things about other leader who did awful things to poor people and they were remembered as the great rulers.
However Emperor Caesar “If we turn to Rome, we see how his actions benefited the people of the capital. Nero built magnificent public baths and, through the construction of a grand covered market and the improvement of the connections between Rome and its harbour, he made sure that his people would have had access to food. Not only did Nero ensure that the people’s essential needs were met, he also provided them with entertainment venues such as a now lost wooden amphitheatre. The new building regulations he introduced after the Great Fire also drastically improved the living conditions of the people of Rome.”

Who caused Jesus the most trouble
Pharisees and scribes
They are the people who cause Jesus the most trouble because he was violating the law of the time which is Jewish law. Jesus’ teachings. Jesus helped a man with leprous but in Jewish laws they are seen as unclean and Jesus believed in the Sabbath day (Sunday) being a day of rest instead of work. He did not come to break the laws of the time but show love, kindness and compassion for all.
666 Why is it a bad number
One theory suggests that if 777 means the Trinity, 666 is, by contrast, the unholy trinity comprising the two beasts in Revelation 13 and the dragon (the Devil or Satan) in Revelation 12. The 666 then refers to these demonic beings as a counterfeit Trinity.
Another theory is because in modern day it is a widely recognized symbol for the Antichrist or the devil.
