The name Jesus, in Greek, adds up to 888.  The fact is, the number 777
also has a very significant meaning in occultism.  Aleister Crowley (The
Great Beast in Greek = 666) compiled a dictionary of numbers and their
meanings (mostly Hebrew, a little Greek) and titled it _777_.  Why?  Two
phrases add up to 777; this is supposed to prove that they mean or refer
to the same thing.  They are: "The Spirit of the Elohim of Lives" and
"The World of Shells".  The first is a name for God; the second refers
to the Qlippoth, the shells or excrements of which this (illusory) world
is composed.  In other words, it's a joke that God is shit, *and* (this
is how Crowley thought) a supreme mystic truth.
