Dutch evangelical Christians are to hold a round-the-clock prayer vigil to ward off the forces of evil on Tuesday - the so-called Devil's Day.
They believe that the sixth day of the sixth month of 2006 has great significance for evil-doers and Satanists who revere the number 666.
In a bid to counteract the forces of evil, more than 2,000 Dutch Christians will hold "a violent day of worship".
They will be joined by Christians in 23 other countries, organisers say.
The reference to 666 is taken from the Biblical book of Revelation, which talks about the events leading to the end of the world.
Revelation 13:18 states: "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
Omen launch
Behind the initiative is a Dutch evangelical organisation called Ambassadors Ministries.
On this date, Satanists will try and do many things, so we Christians try and do the opposite

Mathijs Piet, one of the organisers, told the BBC news website that the prayer marathon was to officially start at 1800 on Monday with a prayer rally in Jerusalem.
"666 is the number of the Devil and we know that on this date, Satanists will try and do many things, so we Christians try and do the opposite," Mr Piet said.
"We know the Devil hates it when we worship God."
Organisers expect at least 2,000 Dutch evangelicals to take part in the mass prayer vigil across the Netherlands.
They are not the only ones to note the significance of the date.
Film company 20th Century Fox has chosen the same date to launch its remake of the 1976 horror classic The Omen, in which a man comes to realise his son is the Antichrist.
The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
"Im losing my favorite game"
I dont know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the dead of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favorite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favorite game
I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favorite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favorite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a savior and a saint
I deleted my entry from last night, 10 people got to find out what i did last night... im not proud of it, and its not a symbol for me... i guess im not well just now, heres hoping thats the worst it gets.
After 6 months in this job i have started job hunting to leave... im seriously not happy here and i dont like the industry... so am looking to get back into Games developement by far the best industry i have ever worked in.
I know its probably going to damage my CV and cost me a lot (have a 2 year clause in my contract) but unhappiness and fear of the company folding are driving this on.
