So are you saying the number 37 is evil?

Not at all. It is a number that is connected with wisdom, truth and divinity.
Or... you can simply read the text and see for yourself what it is about, right? So you do not need any number to tell you that.

So you think this verse is about Hurricane Irma?
It is about the He who sends the hurricanes and speaks out of the "whirlwind." (Job 38:1)

The real question is are we listening?

Proverbs chapter 1 is the 619th (37 x 17) chapter in the Bible and is about "wisdom."

"When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you." (Proverbs 1:27)

This chapter contains a serious warning.

The 2017 Central Mexico earthquake struck at 13:14 CDT (18:14 UTC) on 19 September 2017 with an estimated magnitude of M[SUB]w[/SUB] 7.1 and strong shaking for about 20 seconds. Its epicenter was about 55 km (34 mi) south of the city of Puebla. The earthquake caused damage in the Mexican states of Puebla and Morelos and in the Greater Mexico City area, including the collapse of more than 40 buildings.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] 370 people were killed by the earthquake and related building collapses, including 228 in Mexico City,[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] and more than 6,000 were injured.[SUP][7
[/SUP]

I know I have stated this before but it bears repeating. September 11th of this year began the 37th week of the year. September 11th is the 254th day of the year leaving 111 (37 x 3) days left in the year and if I am not mistaken that is the day Hurricane Maria Formed and about the time Irma made landfall in the USA. I wonder if we can find the number 37 in 9/11/01?

"And what I say unto you Isay unto all, Watch." Mark 13:37


​What are we watching for? All the signs that He gave us in the previous verse and guess what? Not everybody reads the Bible but God is warning them just there same in external events and the number 37 is attached to them.

Consider the Twin Towers that once stood in NYC on the 74th (37 x 2; one for each tower) degree longitude. The "Freedom" tower replaced them and it is 1776ft (37 x 48) feet long.

What was that Malaysian airline that disappeared mysteriously without a trace? Someone help me out. How about that Japanese nuclear power plant that is spewing radiation out into the Pacific. What degree parallel is it located on?

[FONT=&quot]Has anybody heard any rumors of war lately? When I was in the U.S. army and stationed in South Korea the North Koreans would threaten to turn Seoul into “a sea of fire.” Guess what? It sits roughly on the 37th parallel.[/FONT]

Disclaimer; I did not read all the posts here as this type of Biblical study is pointless and takes away from what God intended by giving us His Word.

Numerology can be defined as-any belief in the divine, mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events.

Biblical numerology is the interpretation by some Biblical scholars, of numerical values used in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament that they believe relate to symbolism, which imply quality or attribultes, of the value rather than to an actual quantity.

Though there are certain numbers that do have meaning in the Bible and a few books, Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelations, do use numbers, this is no reason to try and interpret the Bible by numbers. There is no hidden message that will "come to life" by doing a numerical type of study. The Bible, from cover to cover, is about one person...Jesus. God gave us His Word to help us learn how to glorify Him by giving our lives to and living our lives for Jesus.

Any attempt to find some sort of "hidden message" behind a certain number is nothing more than demonoligy. This means that we are being tempted by satan to find a "hidden message" using certain numbers instead of focusing our study on Jesus.

And that is all i have to say about this thread.

Do you have any Bible verses to support anything you said concerning numbers?

I for one would like to set a pattern on this thread where the word of God reigns supreme. An opinion isn't worth a whole lot! What does the Bible say? Some people want suck on bottles all their life and have no interest in the "meat" of Gods word.
