Why is the Christian life on earth sometimes so difficult? It is because we have a vicious, angry enemy who seeks to destroy what God has created: born again people who will live forever. Every faithful Christian reminds Satan of his defeat and failure and inevitable destruction. The number of the beast, the agent of Satan, 666, signifies incompleteness, evil, and false religion. Those who follow the Lamb will be preserved for all time.
