Oh, those verses I posted using the NASB aren't good enough for you. 
You're as clueless as Alicia Silverstone.

heh maybe youtube hasn't been so unprofitable after all!
Jesus told the disciples to go out unto all nations,and preach the Gospel,and told them that they are fishers of men prior to that.
Is it the number of nations that existed at that time.
153 nations,the number of fish representing the nations,which they were to go out unto all nations preaching the Gospel,and they are fishers of men.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The beast,man of sin,will be in to the occult,nature worship,witchcraft,spiritual evolution through nature,and acknowledges no God,but honors the God of forces,or the power of nature as his God,and will claim to be God by harnessing the power of nature,and obtaining power,evolved,and will share this power with all who follow him.
The occult believes in the power of numbers,and the grouping,timing,and adding of numbers,which they believe will give them more power,or their plan to have more chance for success,and 6 is the number of a man,so the man of sin assigned the number 666,a triple 6 to himself,believing it will give him more power.

The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

Look at the Greek letter Chi and its resemblance to the letter X. Now consider the X chromosome our DNA. Perhaps there is something connected with genetics. As for as Revelation 13:16 goes lets some quick counting.
1. small
2. great
3. rich
4. poor
5. free
6. bond
Six different types of people in three distinct groups of opposites. (small and great are opposites and so goes the pattern).
These may be potential clues.

Wonderful topic
153 happens to be the the 17th triangular number.
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17 = 153
In the King James Bible (perhaps in other translations also, I have not checked) both the names of Peter and Paul are found in 153 verses each.

Why 153?
Counting instances of words doesn't seem useful for understanding this. It might be interesting trivia, but I'm not learning anything so far. There's no meaning. There's no 'this is why..'
Help?
Simple.. And this question has been answered so many times before..
God has foreknowledge of all universe History and all universe future.. So God already foreknew You and I before He made the universe.. So from the very beginning He knew the creation would serve His purpose and he already know who among His creation would believe His Word and accept His way of salvation and who would reject His Word and Reject His way of salvation..

Perhaps they are clues.
"And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." (John 21:6)
"find" = 47 times in the NT of the KJB
"eternal" = 47 times in the KJB
"Son of God" = 47 times in the Bible
"truth" = 47x5 times in 37x6 verses of the KJB
"book" = 47x4 times in 7x25 verses of the KJB
"preach" = 47 verses of the KJB
God speaks exactly 47 words when He created man and women on the 6th day of Genesis chapter 1. Luke 3:38 refers to Adam as the "son of God" and "son of God" any case occurs in 47 verses of the KJB.
I think these are all potential clues.

An Appeal to Reason
Muslims claim that the “miraculous” numerology in the Qur’an (see the numerous Muslim websites that provide extensive examples of the “miracles”) is proof that the Qur’an is the true word of God—but Muslims at least have the sense to base their numerology in the Qur’an upon the original text in Arabic rather than an early 17th century English translation!
Moreover, the King James translation of the Bible differs from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek in thousands of places. Therefore, if the King James translation of the Bible is the true word of God—the Bible itself is a fraud!
The “miraculous” numerology in the life of William Shakespeare and his writings is also followed in a cultic manner.

Re: An Appeal to Reason
If we are meant to discover the meaning of the 153 fish by counting instances of words, like it's a cipher instead of actual meaningful text, it would be the words in the original language of the most accurate manuscripts. Not a translation into another language 1600 years after the fact, right?
This was not meant to be impossible to solve or comprehend at the time John wrote it. Right?
