@dovesong Fear Not! The devil isn’t anymore real than the boogeyman. 666 stands for Caesar Nero not Satan. Lucipher, The Devil, Mark of The Beast, Beelzebub and Satan Many Christians believe the devil was once a beautiful angel named Lucipher who defied God and fell from grace. This assumption is often based from the book of Isaiah in The Bible which says “How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of morning. How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nation’s” Lucifer is not a proper name. It translates to morning star. In Judaism, Satan is a verb and refers to a difficulty or temptation to overcome. There are few demon like figures in Hebrew scripture, but the most famous one appears in the book of Job. In that book in adversary or tempter ask God whether the prosperous man Job would continue to praise God after losing everything, God takes up the challenge and strips Job of his wife and family. When John is imprisoned on the island of Patmos, he mentions The Mark of the Beast. 666 represents Caesar Nero. > **[Q&A with Stanford Humanities Center visiting fellow Elaine Pagels](https://shc.stanford.edu/news/qa/qa-stanford-humanities-center-visiting-fellow-elaine-pagels)** > > Elaine Pagels, Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion at Princeton University, is best known for research and publication involving the discovery of a cache of over fifty ancient Greek texts translated into Coptic in Upper Egypt in... > **[The Devil](https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-the-devil)** > > The Devil, also referred to as Satan, is best known as the personification of evil and the nemesis of good people everywhere.
