What is a number?

Does it mean more than a count, a measure, a label?

The number of this show tonight

is many things:

It is the largest repdigit triangular number;

It is a Smith number;

It is an apocalyptic number;

It is an evil number,

but then so are pi and the golden ratio.

However, this number is said to be the number of the beast,

referred to in Revelation 13:18,

“”Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:

for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.””

Yet, this is an example of a time that a number is not just a number.

In this case, when written it was a code.

The old Hebrew words used to write the number 666

Were in fact pointing to Nero Caesar as the root of all evil at that time.

One man who was beastly in his actions

became a number feared through history.
