The Number - Revelation 13:18

Revelation 13:18 ESV 
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:His number is 666.

This number of the beast may be related to the three series of seven known as the seals, the trumpets, and the bowls in Revelation which characterize and summarize the unfolding of God's wrath in these latter days. 

The sixth event may be associated with the presence of the beast. This is supported with the realization that the seals, trumpets, and bowls are different expressions of the same unfolding event. 

The beast will appear before the seventh seal is opened, before the seventh trumpet is blown, and before the seventh bowl is emptied.
