Each Hebrew letter and each Greek letter have a number assigned. There is a huge amount of numbers throughout the Bible. Some are hidden from us because of the English language and of course, being fed a lie that "gematria" is numerology., the occult practices. There are many levels of understanding. PaRDeS = 1) Peshat = The surface or literal meaning 2) Remez = The hint or deeper meaning, 3) Drash = The comparative meaning, 4) Sod = The secret or mystery level.
Studying the numeric value of words in the Bible, will show connections that you cannot see without seeing their numeric value.
A few examples: My profile name here is Grace911. The very last verse in the New Testament is Revelation 22:21. When I am looking at number values of any word, I use the KJV. I use e-sword and within e-sword the Hebrew GEM (gematria of Hebrew words). For Greek gematria I use the chart below.
Revelation 22:21 The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

On the surface (Peshat) it appears that the Bible begins and ends with 911 (Like bookends).
Why did 9/11/2001 happen? I don't blame everything on Satan, but he is certainly a tool in the LORD/YHWH tool box. (See Isaiah 45:7)
Did you know that Jesus was born on Feast of Trumpets, Hebrew 7th month and day 1? This event occurs in our Julian/Gregorian calendar in September or October. In the year 3 BC, 9/11 fell on Feast of Trumpets, 7th month and 1st day.

You say "numerology" is not for you. I totally agree!! Anything that has to do with the occult is to be avoided like the plague. Wisdom to discern the difference is needed. Not all animals are dogs, but all dogs belong to the animal class.
