Thanks, there, Ozzy boy! Ha.
But keep in mind, "The first will be last and the last will be first." Mathew 20:16, and, so, in math., it goes to 216 = 6*6*6 ---> 666.
---> The essential Bill withers.

Get it? Essential means foremost, whereas, withered, means on the end.
Actually, the following anagram answers to the same puzzle turn out in similar contradictory fashion.
The essential Bill withers
The Rain Falls Where It Will
The Ties That Bind (Star Wars)
This Sweet and Bitter Earth
All's Swell That Ends Swell!
All That Is Bitter Is Sweet
Bless Their Little Hearts
Little Satan (Israel title)
I don't know, maybe use the upside-down sqrt function to turn the 666 into 333. Maybe, God is the upside-down root of all evil.
