All I see is people with 6's on their heads. Am I not getting something? I mean, I know that 666 is a significant number but what is being said? That families belong to Satan? I dunno, I need a diagram.
According to book of Revelation during the last 7 years before the end of the world there will be a governor who will claim to be divine and will ask people to worship him. Some people believe he will pose to be christ while others say he is just a new age figure. Either way, part of his worship will be putting his mark on right hand or forehead. And his mark will be 666. Christians are not supposed to put that mark because worshipping anything other than true god is idolatry. However, antichrist will try to force them to worhsip him anyway, so he will establish various sanctions against those that refuse his mark. At first no one will be allowed to buy or sell unless they have a mark, and later on he will take it further by beheading people for not taking the mark. However, if you do take the mark, that is unforgiveable sin. Basically it is no turnign back point and once you ahve a mark you are hell-bound no matter what. Christians are supposed to prove their loyalty to true Jesus by refusing the mark at the cost of martydrome. On the other hand, all non-christians will end up taking the mark, one way or the other.
So to answer your question, they were born as ordinary people, but then they CHOOSE to follow devil. Or to be more precise they CHOSE to follow a man who is endwelled by the devil.
