Left Behind question

I’m not reading this series, but my sister is. She says one of the characters (the Antichrist, I believe) is obsessed with the number 216. She’s e-mailed the author, and the reply was this was the result of a simple math formula and it does have significance, and to think of the number of the beast (666.)

She asked me, but I’m not that much on bible stuff. Does anyone know the significance of 216 in the Left Behind series?

Well, 216 is an area code in the Cleveland, OH area.

216 = 6 * 6 * 6.

Thanks, Math Geek…I’ll let her know!

Watch the movie Pi. A rather bizarre movie about a man asked to find a 216-digit number. Supposedly according to ancient Jewish writings God’s name can be revealed with it as well as being able to predict the stock market. Read the comments of the movie and search for “216”.
