wherefrom the number 666 comes ?

[Lumiere Noire]

The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible, relating somehow to the figure of "The Beast". The number is 666 in most manuscripts of the New Testament, and in modern translations and critical editions of the Greek text. Although Irenaeus (second century) reported several scribal errors of the number, there is still doubt by some theologians about the original reading, as some recently discovered third century early manuscripts of Revelation read 616. This topic is a source of contention for many church groups and theologians.[1] Most scholars contend that the number 666 is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero

Actually, the 666 doesn't come from xian sourses, its the kabalistic number of the sun as seen in egyptian ka ba ankh and other things. This is where the xian bible stole it from. To say that something comes from the bible is simply nonsensical because everything in the bible is stolen from older religions predating it.
