To the ancient Hebrews, numbers meant something. 5 was the number that meant "grace" (just pick up a Rosary, that has five decades. Our Lady said that great graces would be given to those who say the Rosary every day.)
7 was the number that meant "perfection", 6 was the number that meant "imperfection" so 6 tripled means extreme imperfection, hence the probable reason it's the number of the Beast, or Antichrist.
Point missed.
What was your point? Or, did you miss mine? Not being snarky, just want to know.
