Well, that is a complicated question depending on the approach you take. Many literalist claim that it is a real mark that will be placed on people in order to aquire certain things at some point in the future. Others believe that it is a symbol of some mark and that the number will not be used because it is too obvious. Most do agree that it stands for the anti-christ.
I do not agree to either one. I believe that it was a code for the believers back in the time of Christian persicution. From what I was taught from my Religious Study is that 666 was a code for Caesar Domitian, who some believed was a reincarnation of Nero, The cruelist Emperor to the Christians. This, in my belief, does not discredit the common interpretation of Revelation, but rather expands on the historical usage of it.
I hope this answers your question. If not feel free to post again or email us.
