The Number of the Beast

"The Number of the Beast" is a phrase from the biblical Book of Revelation (chapter 13, verse 18). It refers to the number 666, often associated with evil or the Antichrist in Christian tradition. Historically, some interpret this number as a symbol of imperfection or evil, while others see it as representing specific figures or concepts through numerology. The phrase has become a cultural reference, notably popularized by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Overall, it symbolizes the idea of a malevolent force or a warning against moral and spiritual corruption.
