Do You Know The Numbers?

Have you noticed how significant knowing "the" number is. I mean, people check the NASDAQ and Stock Market numbers religiously. The amount of weight an in utero-baby (fetus) puts on is charted by every ounce monthly to ensure the baby is thriving. We do countdowns for importand events. Numbers are crucial in Human life. The weather for the day, days of the week, months, and years, are all about the numbers. There are numbers we must know and many contain mystery. I love numbers.

The original way of numbering days, months and years have changed. We are not using numbers as when mankind was first created. Like, the new year used to start on a different month number. The New Year began originally, as far as I can research, on the THIRD month, MARCH. As time has passed and for what reasons I do not know, now the New Year, for most, begins January, in the ELEVENTH month of CAPRICORN followed by PISCES. No I'm not encouraging LIVING by HOROSCOPES the zodiacs. I'm talking NUMBERS everywhere you look. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Should Christians read Horoscopes? 

Does this kind of SWITCH change anything? I don't know. What I do know is the MARCH ARIES are the NEWBORN baby of Astrology, the beginning and first with my favorite number THREE, and end with FEBRUARY PISCES, which is DEATH and wisdom; the niumber TWELVE. Now we begin in JANUARY CAPRICORN which is LATE ADULTHOOD and end with DECEMBER AQUARIUS, penultimate sign of MATURITY. Why the CHANGE and does it mean anything significant? Who even CARES?

The ZODIACS are FIXED in the sky. Man just changed the order of the beginning of what they marked as the New Year with theses zodiacs prominent in the heavens for a certain month of each year. There is a pattern of Human growth (babe through old age) attached to the year by the signs, But what about the numbers? In the Bible numbers have certain meanings and patterns that are a constant. Fixed.  NUMEROLOGY noticed this and ASSIGNED meaning to them. Did they CRACK some ancient CODE, possibly established by God? DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Number Two (2) Magical Mysterious Numerology?

I know, you're ready to FIGHT because a Christian is pushing the DEVIL occult worship of ASTROLOGY. Calm down! Not pushing anything. First of all, are you actually saying what God uses as SIGNS for His creation is EVIL. I can agree on a certain level, but it didn't START off that way in GENESIS in the Creation account.  DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: People Are Always Looking For A Sign.

In Christianity we already know the power of the number SEVEN and TWELVE. But, do you nnow the Bible repeatedly USES NUMBERS in patterns and significance. I want to do a series of BLOG posts about INDIVIDUAL nimbers. For as long as I can REMEMBER in my life, the number THREE just seemed to show up in my life and those times were significant. The repetition of the number three made me look the number up from every angle of what the number THREEcould means. What I discovered abi=out the number three is so PROFOUND, it became my communication PORTAL when me and God communicated. I even have a three tattoo.

God USES the number three for manifestation. It's the number of the TRINITY and SACRIFICE. The English word "three" used for the number 3 is recorded 485 times in 426 King James Bible verses. It occurs 410 times in the Old Testament and has 75 occurrences in the New Testament. The Old Testament writings that use "three" the most are the book of 1Chronicles (35 times) then Numbers (33). The New Testament books that use the word the most are the book of Acts (17 times) followed by Matthew (12). The first use of the word is found in Genesis and its last is in Revelation. I have 3 daughters all born in the month of 3-March. I paid ATTENTION because NONE of their due dates were for March. 

The number 333 is widely viewed as a symbol of God's divine presence, completeness, and spiritual awakening.is often interpreted as an amplification of the Holy Trinity (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and is deeply tied to a powerful promise of divine guidance and communication. Christians also see three as symbolic of the Trinity the triune nature of God: as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In the Bible, the number 30 primarily symbolizes divine calling, dedication. and SPIRITUAL MATURITY. It frequently marks a transition from preparation to active service, representing the age at which an individual reaches full physical and mental maturity to take on major spiritual and leadership responsibilities. Jesus BEGAN His ministry at the AGE of 30 and He ministered for 3 years before his cruixifixion rising the third day. 

What about the number 12, which shows up often in the Bible? The meaning of 12 is that it symbolizes God's power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness. The words “twelve” and “twelfth” are used 212 times in the Bible. A large majority of these uses are connected to, and point to, the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel, which formed the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 sons/tribes begins in Genesis, and these “reminders,” pointing back to them, continue all the way to the last book of the Bible in Revelation. Following are most of the significant uses of “12” in the Bible. I love this, so I had to share it. Significance of the number 12 (twelve) in the Bible. - JesusAlive.cc. 

The 12 sons/tribes of Jacob/Israel (Gen 35:22)(Gen 42:13,32)(Gen 49:28)(Lk 22:30)(Acts 7:8)(Acts 26:7)(James 1:1)(Rev 21:12).God promised that 12 princes would come from Ishmael (Gen 17:20)(Gen 25:16). At Elim, there were 12 wells of water (Ex 15:27)(Num 33:9). There was to be 12 “cakes” (loaves of bread) in the Tabernacle (Lev 24:5).

During the dedication of the Tabernacle, the leaders of Israel made an offering of 12 oxen (Num 7:3). The total of other offerings for the Tabernacle dedication was 12 silver platters, 12 silver bowls, 12 gold pans, 12 young bulls, 12 rams, 12 male lambs in their first year, and 12 kids of the goats (Num 7:84,87). These were brought over a period of 12 days (Num 7:78).

God ordered Moses to collect 12 rods, one from each of the 12 tribes, and place them in the Tabernacle. The rod that blossomed would be the man He had chosen (Aaron) (Num 17:1-9). Twelve spies were sent to spy out the Promised Land (Num 13)(Deut 1:23).

Twelve stones were to be taken from the Jordan River to serve as a memorial that God had dried up the Jordan so that the Ark Of The Covenant and the people could cross it (Josh 4:1-9,20). When the men of Gibeah killed a man’s concubine, he cut her body into 12 pieces and sent it throughout all the territory of Israel (Judg 19:29).

Solomon’s throne had 6 steps leading up to where he sat, and there was a lion on each side of the six steps (12 total) (1 Kin 10:18-20)(2 Chr 9:19). Solomon appointed 12 governors over all of Israel (1 Kin 4:7). DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Do you believe in angels and other celestial beings?

A large basin called “the Sea” was built to hold water for the priests, and it was set upon 12 oxen statues (1 Kin 7:25).

The prophet Ahijah tore the garment he was wearing into 12 pieces (1 Kin 11:29-30). Elijah built an altar with 12 stones (1 Kin 18:31-32). Elisha was plowing with 12 yoke of oxen when Elijah called him (1 Kin 19:19).

Evil Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king (2 Kin 21:1)(2 Chr 33:1). Nehemiah was appointed to be the governor in the land of Judah for 12 years (Neh 5:14). Haman sought to destroy all of the Jews in the 12 month (Es 3:7,13)(Es 9:1). God’s judgment fell on King Nebuchadnezzar 12 months after his dream (Dan 4:28-33).

Jesus chose 12 disciples (Mt 10:1-5)(Mt 20:17)(Mk 3:14-19)(Mk 14:17-20)(Lk 6:13-16)(Lk 9:1,12)(Jn 6:67-71).

The woman with the “issue of blood” had been bleeding for 12 years when she was healed by Jesus (Mt 9:20-22)(Mk 5:25-34)(Lk 8:43-48). The daughter of Jairus, whom Jesus brought back to life, was 12 (Mk 5:42).

Jesus was 12 years old when He became separated from His parents after the Passover (Lk 2:42-43). (This is also the first time that Jesus speaks in the Bible (Lk 2:49). After Jesus fed the 5000 men (and many more counting women and children) with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, there were 12 baskets of fragments left (Mt 14:20)(Mk 6:43)(Mk 8:19)(Lk 9:17)(Jn 6:13). Jesus said that in the regeneration, the 12 apostles would sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel (Mt 19:28).

When Jesus was being arrested, He said He could call for more than “12 legions of angels” if He needed help (Mt 26:53). Paul laid hands on “about 12 men,” and “the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied” (Acts 19:6-7).

The New Jerusalem will have a wall with 12 gates, and 12 angels at the gates, with names written on them which are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel (3 gates each on the north, south, east, west) (Rev 21:12). This wall will have 12 foundations, and on those will be the names of the 12 apostles (Rev 21:14). Each of the foundations will be adorned with 12 different precious stones (Rev 21:19-20). Each of the 12 gates will be constructed of one pearl (Rev 21:21).

There will also be a “tree of life,” which bears 12 fruits, one for each month (Rev 22:2).

The Bible is also filled with multiples of the number of 12. For example, when the Temple was built, its foundation was 60 cubits long (12 x 5) (2 Chr 3:3), the porch was 120 cubits high (12 x 10) (2 Chr 3:4), and the Holy Place was overlaid with 600 talents of fine gold (12 x 50) (2 Chr 3:8). When the Ark was brought into it, 120 priests were “sounding with trumpets” (12 x 10) (2 Chr 5:12). When dedicating it, Solomon offered a sacrifice of 120,000 sheep (12 x 10,000) (2 Chr 7:5).

There are so MANY more to explore and I enjoy doing it. Other important numbers of the Bible I will be exploring are: 6, 9. 13, 40, 24, and 444. There should be some surprising and intersesting discoveries.

People feel differently about things because they ARE AFRAID of getting out of God's will. Good fear to have. I am one of those people. But, what keeps me GROUNDED is the FACT everything God created he called it GOOD. All of the things man are calling bad, started off as NEEDED and WONDERFUL. Along the way, man CORRUPTED it, turning it BAD. I lay God on everything, not God onto ME. 

If in doubt, and you believe in COINCIDENCES, then why is God's TELEPHONE NUMBER Jeremiah 33:3. Jeremiah 33:3 is a famous biblical verse about PRAYER and seeking DIVINE REVELATION during difficult times. It is widely used as a reminder that God invites His people to seek Him in times of trouble.

• KJV: "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
• NIV: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." 

• The Context: God spoke this promise directly to the prophet Jeremiah while he was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, facing what seemed like an impossible situation. 
• The Revelation: "Great and unsearchable things" refers to God’s hidden plans, spiritual truths, and future restoration that are completely beyond human understanding or foresight. [1]
• Historical Context: Originally, this verse was spoken to assure Israel of God's plan to restore Jerusalem and the fortunes of Judah after their captivity. 
• Spiritual Application: Among Christian communities, it is widely viewed as a fundamental verse on prayer. The consensus among believers is that it serves as an enduring promise that God hears sincere prayers and reveals profound wisdom to those who seek Him
• The Call: God invites humanity to pray ("Call to me") and promises an active response ("I will answer you"). Try giving HIM a ring!

Number Two (2) Magical Mysterious Numerology?

     

Yesterday was 0242024 or 02/04/2024. How amazing is that? WOW!! The month of February, the second month of the year, is DIFFERENT for so many reasons. It is the shortest month of the year even when a leap year occurs like this year. 

It is the only month that predicts the weather. To chants of Phil! Phil!" filling the air in Pennsylvania Friday, Feb. 2, 2024, minutes before the groundhog came into the light to predict whether we'll see six more weeks of winter or an early spring. Punxsutawney Phil brought cheers as he predicted an early spring is in store for us. 

February is also the month of love with the celebration of Valentine's Day on the 14th of the month.

The entire month is a celebration of Black History Month

But do numbers or numerology really mean anything as many people would have you believe? YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY DO.

    I always say there are no such thing as coincidences in a world. Things we believe are random operate almost without fail. The human body, for example, functions by its own rhythms and codes man has yet to discover exactly how many of those mechanisms work. Even though we understand DNA and the process of childbirth, science has still been unable to identify or understand the ACTUAL signal that begins childbirth, but once it is begun science can understand it from there. So, mysteries still abound and numbers do mean SOMETHING even if we don't yet understand exactly what they mean or the affects they have. And with every great thing comes the corruption of it by man (human). So beware of an always present scam.

    I, being a knowledgeable person, am open to ALL the mysteries of the Creator as a receiving vessel of everything good. So, from today until March 1, I am in a state of receiving all the goodness, positivity, and miracles in this mysterious numerological phase we are in. I will be watchful for opportunities presented in ANY and EVERY way. I will enjoy the gifting of the number 2 the universe offers with gratefulness and praise to the Creator. Are you open to the mysteries of numbers?

    Numbers have a great significance in the Bible. Many preachers and many teachers of the Bible fail to notice God's use of numbers or just do not bother to teach this truth. Because the significance of numbers in the Bible has been ignored by the church, Satan has claimed authority in the use of numbers with his own twisted, distorted, counterfeit use of number and ensnaring many people into believing in a false type of of Numerology for greed or fear mongering.    

     Because numerology is more associated with the occult and psychics, the church has thrown the baby out with the bath water and completely turned away from the significance of God's use of numbers. I will talk about numbers and how they relate to the Bible. With anything we use or come into contact within our lives; God should always remain our number one and complete source of our faith and trust. Below is the significance of numbers in the Bible. I also include the secular significance of numbers. Have you ever noticed particular numbers showing up often in your life?

    ONE: It is the perfect symbol of unity. The number one is what we call the ordinal number of primacy. God is in the prime position also. He rules, he reigns, and he has all power. God is made up of no other number. Every other number is made up of one (it is in every other number), the number one needs nothing else to make it complete just like God does not need anything else to make him complete. 

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: One Is the root of opportunity in our lives. It is a symbol of confidence, power, and action. It pushes us to look at our current circumstances and realize that we have the power to turn them into anything we wish. Even if we are afraid, the 1 inspires us to take control of our future and embrace new beginnings. 

    TWO: The first number we come to that can be divided, it represents division or difference or the second witness; second opinion or another point of view. On the second day of creation, the waters were divided from the waters by the firmament (division) It speaks of differences, i.e. heaven and hell, good and evil, life and death, saints and sinners.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: Supremely feminine force, one that represents both grace and power. It is cooperative, always aiming to bring peace and balance back to a relationship or situation. This Numerology number is also very sensitive -- of all the numbers, it has the strongest intuition. It is able to sense currents and feelings instinctively, then use these clues to connect with others empathically.

    THREE: In the Bible 3 is always the number of divine manifestations = The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The 3 basic attributes of God- He is omniscient (all knowing) omnipresent (everywhere present), omnipotent (all powerful). Time is divided into 3 parts = past, present, and future. All of creation reflects Triune nature of God. He created 3 kingdoms of matter = animal, vegetable, mineral. Three forms in which matter exists = solid, liquid, and gas. Three things that last forever = faith, hope, and love.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: Three has a tendency to thrive in an upbeat and engaging atmosphere. Its energy is youthful and positive and it has an incredible zest for life. It dances from one enjoyable experience to the next, eager to interact with others along the way. The prized skill of the number 3 is communication and it uses this talent to build a wide and interesting circle of friends, lovers, and kindred spirits.

    FOUR: is always the world number. It is the number that speaks to the international scene. In our physical world there are 4 directions = north, south, east, and west. There are 4 seasons = spring, summer, fall, and winter. In Genesis 2:10 there are 4 heads of the river coming out of the Garden of Eden and symbolically heading towards the ends of the earth

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: 4 is a no-nonsense number with a heads-down approach to life and work. It is extremely dependable and lends a great amount of stability to a person or situation. The 4 is dedicated to advancing, but in a more conservative way than a progressive one. It sticks to what is tried-and-true instead of attempting methods that are new.

    FIVE: Is always the number of grace. In Exodus 13:18 it tells us the children of Israel came out of Egypt "harnessed." Actually, in Hebrew (the language the Old Testament was written in) says that they came out "ranked in fives." They came out in fives because it was the grace of God that delivered them from Egypt. David chose 5 smooth stones to defeat Goliath. God has a fivefold ministry = apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers (Ephesians 4:7-11). The Tabernacle was a picture of the grace of God. The Holy Anointing Oil used to anoint the Tabernacle had 5 components = myrrh, sweet cinnamon, sweet calmus, cassia, and olive oil (Exodus 30:23-24).

    SECULAR NUMEROLGY: Five represents curiosity and the need for a variety of exciting experiences in order to feel fulfilled. It craves freedom and adventure and isn't afraid to let the wind carry it where it may. For the 5, life isn't about setting goals and making plans, it's about getting out there and experimenting. Anything that stirs the senses piques the 5's interest and it can't wait to partake in the experience.The Numerology number 5 is a master of change, able to go with the flow and adapt itself to thrive in different environments and social situations. 

    SIX: Is the number of men. Man was created on the sixth day. Six is short of seven which we will see represents perfection. So, man is forever incomplete until he meets Christ and becomes complete in him. In Revelation the number 666 is speaking of the satanic trinity = the devil, the anti-Christ, and the false prophet. In Genesis 18 Abraham asks the Lord 6 times to spare the city of Sodom. NOTE when man (6) asks or seeks help from man (6) instead of God in effect leaning on the arm of flesh: 6x6=36. If you add all the numbers 1 through 36, that is the totality of man's help, and you get 666.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: 6 is the embodiment of the heart. It represents unconditional love and the ability to support, nurture, and heal. It is a powerful force of compassion and empathy and its warm light is a beacon of hope. Its role is to use its heart and soul to be of service to others. The 6 in Numerology shines in partnerships of all kinds but especially emotional ones. 

SEVEN: Is always the number of perfection or completion. The creative week was completed in 7 days. There are 7 last sayings as Jesus completing his work on the cross. Jesus performed 7 miracles during his ministry. In revelation, which is the story of the completion of God's plan, there are 7 messages to the churches- 7 seals- 7 trumpets- 7 vials, 7- judgments.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: The number 7 is both deep and wise. It is not satisfied with simple explanations and surface-level information -- this is frivolous stuff. It knows that the real gold is buried deeper and won't stop until it finds it ... and then it'll keep digging for more. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills the 7 uses in its search for awareness.

    EIGHT: is always the number of new beginnings. Noah's ark carried 8 people through the flood to a new beginning. Males in Israel were circumcised on the 8th day- symbolic of a new covenant, a new relationship with God. When Jesus revealed himself in a new way on the Mount of Transfiguration, Luke says it was 8 days after he had told his disciples he was the Messiah and had spoken of his death.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: 8 is the achiever and measures life by the goals it reaches. It has good business sense, a powerful presence, and a strong drive for success. The 8 is also a symbol of balance -- you can see it in its symmetrical shape. For every blessing it receives, it puts one back out to the universe. When things are balanced, they feel stable, controlled, and supported, which is the most productive environment for the 8 to work in. In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered the luckiest number of all, and is purposefully worked into wedding dates, birth dates, addresses, and finances. 

    NINE: Used 49 times in Scripture, the number 9 symbolizes divine completeness or conveys the meaning of finality. Christ died at the 9th hour of the day, or 3 p.m., 

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: The energy of the number 9 represents completion, but not finality. Think of it more in a cyclical sense; it's about the ending of one cycle and the potential it creates for another cycle to begin. The 9 in Numerology acts as an usher in this process of transition or transformation, guiding and empowering us with its wisdom. It absorbs answers from a spiritual source, then delivers them to us in the real world..

    TEN: It is the number of human responsibility. There were 10 plagues in Egypt. There were 10 virgins who represent our responsibility, our purpose to the kingdom of God. Man has 10 fingers representing our work for God and 10 toes in order to walk with God.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: When you see the number 10, you're being given a highly encouraging sign. You are being urged into a place of radical self-trust. You are being encouraged to have faith in the events that are happening around you. But this number also warns of becoming self-absorbed and isolated. The number 1 is exacting and sharp, determined and intense. So use this energy to move closer into alignment with your greatest potential. Yet not to the detriment of others. Be sure to act in service to the greater good.

    ELEVEN: The meaning of the number eleven is important in that it can symbolize disorder, chaos and judgment. In the Bible, 11 is used twenty-four times and "11th" can be found 19 times. Coming after 10 (which represents law and responsibility), eleven (11) represents the opposite, which is the irresponsibility of breaking the Law, which brings disorder and judgment.

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: It is strongly connected with your hopes, dreams and heart's desire. The master number 11 is an important soul number as it represents your unique spiritual journey. The soul number 11 creates great power and strength, but these can be tough to grow into.

    TWELVE: Is the number of divine government. There were 12 patriarchs, 12 tribes, 12 judges of Israel. There were 12 Apostles. There were 12 legions of angels (at least) that Jesus could have called upon - speaking of God's authority and rulership. The New Jerusalem - the seat of God's kingdom will have 12 foundations, 12 gates, 12 pearls, and is 12,000 furlongs in length, breadth, and height.
***biblical numerology by Leslie Hale**

    SECULAR NUMEROLOGY: It's especially creative in expressing its individuality, its points of view — any concepts it desires to convey with full understanding. The 12 essence has within it imagination, effective communication, tolerance, self-sufficiency, self-determination, cooperation, optimism, and dynamism. Virtually everything 12 does is expressed creatively.    When you are reading the Bible or studying on your own, look for these numbers and see do they have any significance to what you are reading. I found that the knowledge of these numbers helps me to see that God is not random as most people believe. Everything he does and says has purpose if not at that particular instant than for a particular time to come.

    In my family the number 3 plays an important part in our lives. When I see the number three represented at least 2 times I pause and pay attention. If the number three comes up three times, I know God wants my attention. I have 3 daughters all born the 3rd month of the year all with a representation of 3 in the day of the month. I fast for three days to see manifestation of God in my life or to receive clarity or conformation of a direction. I met a man and he said the number 3 at least 3 times and I am waiting on God to show me what I need to know or do with this particular person. Me and my daughters are getting the number three tattoo soon because it represents our family unit so well and always make us reflect on the will of God and the role Jesus and the Holy Spirit has played in our lives.

     Numerology is a tool useful in your walk with God also for growth and maturity in the word. Do not become a worshiper of Numerology, but know all things are created and used by God for purpose.
