I am interested in discussing the number 37 and other relevant numbers in the Holy Bible such as 7, 12, and 73. (This not an exhaustive list by any means) I will recommend a video on youtube titled "Numeric Patterns of 37 and 73 in the Bible" and an article titled "God's number 37 - theme tells of perfection/sanctification/being saved.... which can be found at Amazing Word Home. I will post this article on this thread. I am also going to use this thread to present information concerning the King James Bible and the number 37. There is one significant place that this number occurs in the Bible and that is Revelation 13:8.
"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.
666 = 37 x 18
Thank you for your input

The man of sin will be of the occult,nature worship,witchcraft,spiritual evolution through nature,and will not honor the God of his fathers,nor the desire of women,nor regard any god,for he shall magnify himself above all,but in his estate shall he honor the God of forces,or the power of nature as his God,and a God his fathers knew not.
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 a greater chance of their plan succeeding.
Count the number of the beast,for it is the number of a man,the man of sin.The number of a man is 6 so the man of sin assigned the number 666,a triple 6 to himself,for he believes it will give him more power,and his kingdom a greater chance to succeed.
The mark of the beast has to do with technology,for the beast's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind,but their technology,and devices,can achieve peace on earth.
chi xi stigma
khee xee stig'-ma
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.
stigma
stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.
The Bible does not break down 666 to 37x18,but it counts the number of the beast as 600,60,and 6,which is three words chi,xi,stigma.
Which the definition appears to be something stuck under the skin to identify the person,which sounds like the microchip.
With the microchip linked to satellite,they can track everybody's location on earth,and if a crime happens in an area they will know who was in the area,and how close to the crime scene,which will deter people from wanting to commit a crime,and also they do not want to do a crime,and then ditch the chip,for then they cannot buy and sell,which they would want to purchase food,and the chip can locate lost people,and the chip will have all information about a person,including financial records,for no person may buy or sell without the chip,and when scanned will come up on computer with all their information,and a picture of them.
I have read this before and am not necessarily disagreeing with what you are saying. I do believe that there is a bit more to it than just that and I hope we can learn some more together on this subject. Consider this property of 666.
1+2+3+4.....+34+35+36 = 666
thus 666 is the 36th (6 x 6) triangular number.
Notice that 36 falls one number short of 37. I think this is key to understanding 666. I also find it interesting that the number 37 is the key number in a 6x6 number square which displays some very interesting patterns.
Furthermore the Bible tells us to count the number.
1+2+3+4.....+34+35+36 = 666
thus 666 is the 36th (6 x 6) triangular number.

I do not doubt that you are growing and maturing.
But are you growing and maturing in the Lord in your study of numbers?
Is your personal time with the Lord, getting to know the Lord, revolved around numbers? Or are you getting to know His mind(learning His doctrines/His will/ His plan for you?)
Are you getting this growth through numbers? Or are you just showing us your hobby?
It is a fascinating subject. But I do not see how we can actually learn His mind and plan for our lives through numbers.

666 = 37 x 3 x 3 x 2
I believe 37 is the key to understanding 666. I believe 37 is a number that is connected with wisdom and can be found in the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. For one it is the 12th prime number. 12 is another number that is significant in the Bible. 37 reduces to 1 as follows.
3+7 = 10 and 1+0 = 1
Let us count by 37 and watch the pattern.
37; 3+7 = 10 and 1+0 = 1
74; 4+7 = 11 and 1+1 = 2
111; 1+1+1 = 3
148; 1+4+8=13 and 1+3 = 4
If you keep doing this you will see the pattern go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2....to infinity for all I know. Notice the 9 digits,
6 + 6 + 6 = 18 and 1+8 = 9
6 x 6 x 6 = 216 and 2 + 1 +6 = 9

Please let me clarify again. You have had some remarkably, astonishingly and shameful remarks/accusations made to you in this thread alone. Not to mention the other thread.
That is not my intent.
I will try to be as basic as possible?
What are we missing out on with our relationship with the Lord if we don't know this stuff?
I feel pretty confident that the Lord reveals himself in the doctrines of His word and to advance in His word does not require the understanding of numbers.
You say that it is important and fundamental to know this stuff to advance as believers? Or is it just a hobby and fascinating to you?

Counting from Mark 1:1 to Revelation.
"the beginning" found in 37 verses
"the gospel" found in 74 (37x2) verses
"Jesus Christ" found in 185 (37x5) verses
"the Son" (case sensitive) found in 111 (37x3) verses
"Son of God" (case sensitive) found in 37 verses
These phrases were counted beginning in Mark 1:1 to the end of the Bible. Another way to look at it is Revelation 2:18 is the final occurrence of the phrase "Son of God" in the KJB. If you start there and count back to Mark 1:1 you find that it will be the 37th occurrence of this phrase. I hope that makes sense.
I was amazed when God showed me this pattern in Mark 1. I used the "King James Pure Bible Search Software" to count the verses. It is free software that you can download. I think the website is purebiblesearch.com. Excellent software

I take the Bible literal when it relates the idea of counting for wisdom in Revelation 13:18 and Ecclesiastes 7:27, I counted things in the King James Bible and I believe there is a pattern. I plan on examining this pattern further and posting what I learn. I think their may be some "strong meat" (Hebrews 5:14) to be found in the process.
