What about Judaism, where 666 is considered a holy number?

The number 666 is considered a mystical and holy number. 6 represents the six directions (up, down, north, south, east, west). Six is considered God's number (see Names of God in Judaism) since it is the numeric value of Vav. It also refers to creation, since the world was created in 6 days.

I also remember reading something where it said that the "Mark of the Beast" was not 666. The number 666 was an incorrect translation from some Hebrew Scriptures.
