Re: What nasty comparisons
I understood that 6 was considered to be an evil number, since it is one shy of the "perfect" number 7 and half of the "perfect" number 12. In Revelation we have 7 angels, 7 trumpets, 7 churches, etc, as well as 12 gates, 12000 from each tribe of the Jews, etc (not too mention the 12 apostles of the NT and the 12 Jewish tribes of the OT).
