MARK OF THE BEAST
The mark of the beast is indicative of the totalitarian nature of the new world order. It means total slavery to the state for anyone who accepts it. God has warned us against pledging our allegiance to this coming United States of Earth. The consequences are eternal.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of
his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
- Revelations 14:9-12

According to scripture, the mark is not the only way to be yoked to the beast. You could either take the name of the beast or the number of his name. I have seen many attempts to decipher the mystery of 666, but I have yet to see a convincing answer. I am sure that one day God will reveal it to someone. If it is me, I will be sure to let you know. If it is you, please let me know.
With the exception of stigma, the following dictionary entry says the same greek letters used in 666 were also used to represent Christ in post-biblical writing. In the case of 666 it appears to signify an imitation or anti-christ.

SYLLABICATION: X·mas
| PRONUNCIATION: |  |
NOUN: Christmas
ETYMOLOGY:
From X, the Greek letter chi, first letter of Greek Khrstos, Christ. See Christ.
USAGE NOTE:
Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of , “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.
