888 is the number of Jesus in the Greek alphabet. Just as 666 is the number of a man as referenced in the bible, 888 is the number of Jesus. In the Greek alphabet each number is assigned a numerical value and when Jesus is spelled in the Greek, which is the original language of the New Testament, his name comes out to the sum of 888.
Beat me to it.
