I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume he said it because it was part of the lyrics that he wrote for the song. 

My lyric book says the lyrics are:

"666 is no longer alone...."
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Well, the segment is about the apocalypse, so it's not very surprising that the devil is somehow involved, is it?

Because, in fact, Genesis is a satanic band, using their music to influence the minds of people. Why do you think they are the most popular band here on this site?

I thought this was widely known.

 Clap LOL. Awesome.

On a more serious note, the entire song is about good and evil and they don't come much worse than the devil, so it should be no surprise 666 is mentioned. You should have noticed that in the last section Gabriel mention's "The lord of Lords, King of Kings." So he has balanced things.

^From what I remember about the book of Revelation, 666 does not directly represent Satan; I think it's the number of the "beast" called the "antichrist" elsewhere in Scripture.  He serves Satan, so the number indirectly references Satan, but the number 666 is not synonymous with Satan, I don't think.

In Supper's Ready, it's just one of many references to Revelation (understandable as the song is loosely based on Revelation), including "fire from the skies," "Magog," "the dragon," "the seven trumpets," and, of course, the "angel standing in the sun" part, which is almost a direct quote from Revelation 19:17.

Yup. Nailed it! 666 is part of the devils overall entity. His mark....his plan for all. The devil is not just one man.

Because 666 was joined by 789.  It's why 6 was afraid of 7...

Well you do know that if you play "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" backwards, it's actually a Satanic Prayer!

According to QI, 666 isn't the number of the beast anyway. I think they said it was 626 or something like that.

More like ... we DON'T know ... we assume that we know!
 
I think the line is over-rated and the reference is way too general to be important enough to discuss here, and that we're making a mountain out of a molehill!
 
But in the singing ... the 666 word/line, sounds a LOT BETTER than using "devil" or some other emanation of the lyric.
 
Please be mindful of that ... not to mention that too many folks get paranoid and scared when they see that reference and think the Devil has arrived at their door ... and the big book says that's bad!
 
I think we need to give these folks a dose of real literature, not bad translations of several bliblical books that do not even show the same thing and fears that we are showing with one stupid lyric in a song! Or a line in a poem! or a word in a novel with 1,000,000 words!

666 is no longer alone...

As this comes after the lyric about the Dragon leaving the sea, it could refer to The AntiChrist (666) being joined by the Whore Of Babylon, who (I believe) rides on the back of the Dragon in the book of Revelation.

...just a thought, you understand - as Suppers Ready is an analogy of Revelation anyway, try the chaps in The Christian Thread in General Discussions...

pip, pip

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Isn't Magog first referenced in the book of Esikiel? The war of Gog and Magog is believed by many to refer to the enemies of Israel attacking the holy land, and being wiped out. The enemies, not Israel..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Yes. It was the KINGS OF THE NORTH that came forth from Israel and then laid the smack down in Babylon. Nasty Satanic army. Behold a pale horse!!!
