What does the Bible say about the meaning of 666?

Answered in 1 source

The number 666 signifies man's complete failure and inability to attain perfection apart from God.

In Revelation 13, the number 666 is presented as the number of man, representing utter failure. Man was created on the sixth day, symbolizing that all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Thus, 666 serves as a reminder that man's attempts to achieve righteousness or overcome God's purposes will ultimately fail. Rather than instilling fear, this number highlights the greatness of God's grace, as salvation is only attainable through Christ, the perfect number seven, who offers redemption to His elect.
