Interesting, Adam.
I also read where the number 6 signifies "Unredeemed human nature" and the number "7" stands for "Completion".
Evil loves to imitate the Divine- Satan is said to appear as an angel of Light.
So- it would make sense that evil would also love to imitate the Trinity by using a number that stands for "unredeemed human nature"
It is also interesting regarding Nero- Nero was a literal despot-- probably worse or the same as Hitler. No wonder that "666" was identified with him.
