In mainstream Christianity, the Devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against God. The Devil is often identified as the serpent in the garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to the two corresponding Christian doctrines: the original Sin and its cure, the redemption of Jesus Christ. He is also identified as the accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels,Leviathan and the dragon in the book of Revelation. In Christianity, the title Satan(Hebrew: הַשָּׂטָן ha-Satan), the opposer, is a title of various entities, both human and divine, who challenge the faith of humans in the Jewish Bible. Satan later became the name of the personification of evil. Christian tradition and theology changed Satan from an accuser appointed by God to test mens faith to Gods godlike fallen opponent: the devil, Shaitan in Arabic (the term used by Arab Christians and Muslims).Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil. However, the Devil can go no further than the word of Christ the logos allows, resulting in the problem of evil. Liberal Christianity often views the devil metaphorically. This is true of some conservative Christian groups too, such as the Christ a Delphian sand the church of the Blessed Hope. Much of the popular lore of the Devil is not biblical; instead, it is a post-medieval Christian reading of the scriptures influenced by medieval and pre-medieval Christian popular mythology. b But 666 For many people, just saying the number sends shivers up their spines, as it conjures up ominous images of secret occult ceremonies and the cataclysmic final days of Bible prophecy. Some have even refused to accept phone numbers, license plates, and credit cards containing “666.” There is even a very long word made up for the sole purpose of describing this superstitious phobia — “hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.”For instance, Highway666, which runs from Gallup, New Mexico, to Monticello, Utah, is nicknamed the Devils Highway because of the scripture that identifies this number with of the beast power of Revelation. “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 Six hundred and sixty-six” (Revelation 13:18).This satanic connotation combined with Highway666’s unusually high fatality rate convinced some people that the highway was cursed. And the problem was compounded because Satanists were chronically stealing the highway signs as souvenirs. So in 2003, the U.S. highway department decided to renumber Highway 666 as U.S. Route 491.Yet, we don’t have to be afraid of this number.
