Lucifer is probably etymologically the oldest name, as it relates to the morning star (a representation of planet Venus). 'Satan' is taken from Judaism, and means 'adversary' or 'accuser' - as Satanael he was meant to have been an archangel of justice. Finally, the Devil is more of a title. All three refer to the same being. It's 666 because the Book of Revelations says so. Why did St. John give this number, hardly anyone knows, but it's close to numerical value of the name of Nero, a Roman Emperor contemporary to St. John. The author didn't like the emperor, as it seems.

Because 667 is the number of the Neighbor of the Beast. So 666 would be a logical number for the beast to have. It all makes perfect sense if you think about it.

yes, you can read all about it in you're bible.

Lucifer was a fallen angel and the story about him being the most beautiful/wisest/powerful angel is told in Isaiah. It's easier just to read the wiki because there's a lot of dodgy translation or tradition that's not really in the Bible but believed to be. In common understanding they're assumed to be the same person. Paradise Lost by Milton gets mixed up with it too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer 666 or 616 is the Anti-Christ's number, not Satan, and it's Nero Caesar 's name in number code. Revelation was about the fall of the Roman Empire, not that Christians admit this.

Lucifer is the bringer of light and the fallen angel of the Bible; who became Satan/the Devil when he fell. I think Lucifer is Hebrew for "light bringer" and Satan is Hebrew for "adversary" or "opposer". As for 666 being the number of the beast, it's a misconception. The actual number is 616.

jigsaw from 'saw' movie is the antichrist. devil is black with red eyes. antichrist is white with red eyes. jigsaw will rule from jerusalem in a few years. jerusalem is the whore of babylon. mark of the beast is similar to the 'in time' movie tattoo; it will be given with small gray world passport by lasers. Vyatcheslav Krasheninnikov (1982-1993) said this: -china will attack russia -jews will lose war against muslims -80 foot dinosaurs will come out thru lakes and sinkholes. don't go near lakes and sinkholes. -statue of liberty will make one step forward and then collapse -antichrist has white powder on his face. his eyes are red. don't worship him. -green electronic tattoo will be given by lasers when people stretch their hands to receive small gray world passport. don't take chip. don't take world passport. don't take any tattoos. -demons dress in fake human skin and fly in ufo ships. don't go into a ufo ship. people who go into ufo ships to be healed by demons, come out zombies.

What I read was lucifer was the first fallen angel. Satan followed with many others. 666 is the mark of the beast, took from the Bible. I think it is a load of North African mumbojumbo. I like Thor with his big hammer.:]
