I have to ask myself the question: What sort of person would have such a license plate? Whether Atheist, Cynic, Skeptic or Satanist, the plate is in bad taste. Personally, I find it offensive and whoever owns it is insensitive to say to the least. Where does this number come from? From the most misused book of the Bible, of course... Revelation. Here is the passage...
Revelation 13:11-18 (WEB)
11) I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.
12) He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
13) He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.
14) He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.
15) It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16) He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;
17) and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18) Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

The Roman Empire persecuted Christians; killed them every chance it had because they dared to refuse to acknowledge the emperor as God. The number is, in each of its digits, one less than the perfect number for God, 7. Therefore, 666 is the unholiest number of all; an ungodly trinity of evil arrogance. Because of persecution, code numbers were used to represent names and this one referred to the emperor Nero. The picture above makes me a little unsettled, as it could in fact be a harbinger of the future... a time when one world government would demand allegiance to the king of planet Earth. I hope I don't live to see such a thing, but I know from the past that it can't endure, entities like 666 have been beaten before and will be again, no matter what form they take. Its just that I know the cost that had to be paid to defeat this sort of evil and that was the sacrifice of many, many Christians lives!!!
