Six Hundred Sixty Six
Devil equals Math plus Sin
Subtract Sin — Divine!

*Author’s note:

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says Math? For most, it’s Numbers that dance on their head.
All numbers have interesting mathematical facts associated with them. But, there is more — they also have some juicy circle around them. Some are superstitious queens — did someone say, 13? Some are lucky 7. And, then there are key personalities called prime numbers.
Likewise,
beast number (666) also has some red juice to it.
But …
Math — it’s pure and divine.*
