To answer, "what is Satan's number?".  If memory serves, the "number" is
that of the AntiChrist. "Let him who hath understanding hear me--the number
of the Beast is six hundred threescore and six."  Numerologically speaking,
it is sometimes claimed that the Greek alphabet characters contained numerical
significance, and that the actual spelling itself, not the number 666, 
contains the 'real' number of the beast.  At least one book claims that
the 'beast' was the body of Christ, and the warning was that one should
worship the word and not the body of Christ to avoid trouble.
