It’s a number. it is also a number in numerology that would signify a phrase “Close but no cigar”. So good try
555 is what people should be worried about when they make dark wispers about numbers.

Mark of the beast!

It is the "number of the beast" in the book of Revelation.
There are various interpretations, of course. One school of thought is that the number simply refers to the Emperor Nero, and that most of the book is basically about Roman persecution of the church, with lots of apocalyptic metaphorical language which gives it a deeper meaning beyond the immediate one. So according to that school of thought, it is a mistake to constantly be on the lookout for "signs of the end times" in a literal sense, such as concluding "wearing Covid masks is the mark of the Beast." The book is not meant to be a "handbook", in this interpretation.
And that is how I look at it, which puts me at odds with lots of evangelical Christians.

It supposedly means the devil, but I don't believe in such things.

@MsSwan I mean it’s the mark of the beast… and I do believe it with my whole heart. I meant I didn’t know that about you not believing in “such things”. 🙂

The number "six hundred threescore and six" (666) is described as "the number of a man." This has led to interpretations suggesting it symbolizes imperfection (as seven represents completeness in biblical numerology) or is connected to a specific historical figure, such as Emperor Nero Caesar, whose name can be numerically calculated to equal 666 in Hebrew.
