Numerology

Well, in another thread myself and a few others were off topic discussing numerology...Well, what about we ALL add our two cents...What do you know and think of numerology...Numerology is just lore or superstitions about numbers like:

Friday 13th is unlucky because 13 is an unlucky number...
40 means death in biblical numerology because, for example, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights...

Thanks for getting this thread rolling, KK , now...

I only have a basic understanding of biblical numerology, but thats it. The following site is a good site for looking up meanings to specific numbers: http://www.ridingthebeast.com/

KennedyKiller, I wish I could comment further on your post, but I truly do not know what is true and what is false when it comes to Friday the 13th. I, personally don't believe it brings any bad luck, as I don't recall recieving any on said date, but who knows save for God?

Well, anyway, regarding the previous thread, as I mentioned earlier... 888 is a number representative of the Christ. A number considered perfect in composition and a symbol of the Lord, the resurrection and holy baptism.

999 symbolizes Justice, and the truth.

Now, if you were to read Bible scripture, you would find that Jehovah God is Love, Justice, and Truth incarnate, to some extent. - Isaiah 61:8

Jesus spoke that He was "the way, the truth, and the life" - John 14:6

God is love incarnate, and also a lover of truth and justice. It's interesting that "999" symbolizes the concepts that make up God, and that the number is higher than that which represents the Christ, Jesus - God being superior too.

This confirms what is written in the Bible, in that God is great than Jesus - Higher than in power, and the numerology goes hand in hand with this. It's interesting...

Friday 13th is unlucky because 13 is an unlucky number...

I always knew this, but just now I realized why the thirteenth arcana is death.

Regarding Friday 13th.. On that date October 1307(thanks google) the pope launched a surprise attack on the Knights Templar by issuing sealed and secret orders to his seneschals throughout the whole France. At dawn the orders were opened simultaneously and all of them were aressted and accused of fake charges... Long story story short most of the templars were burnt.

I believe that's when when the whole "bad luck" issue regarding Friday started in western calture.
