Numerology in the Bible is alright like the 12 tribes of Israel, and the 12 disciples, which both are written in the New Jerusalem as well as other numbers used by God.

But these numbers are according to God in the Bible, and the occult believes in the power of numbers to exalt themselves by the power of nature, or the God of forces in which they believe they are still evolving to be greater and spiritual.

The occult believes in the power of numbers and the timing, adding, and grouping of numbers which they believe will give them power through nature, and a better chance of their plan succeeding.

According to the world numerology is not valid for they cannot get power through nature by adhering to certain numbers like they believe they can for there is no benefit there but like Eve they believe the lie that they can be godlike.

The Antichrist, beast, is of the occult and the new age movement, and believes in the power of numbers, and 6 is the number of a man, or the soul of man, so the man of sin assigned the number 666 to himself, a triple 6, for he believes it will give him more power through nature, and a better chance of his plan succeeding.

It will be the new age movement and their false interpretation of the Bible that will deceive the world to rebel against God (1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

1. Three (3) is the first sacred number, the first perfect number (Westcott, p. 41). Three represents the Pagan Trinity.” (Westcott, p. 37). It is represented geo-metrically in the triangle, and spiritually as the Third Eye Of Hinduism. Occultists will multiply and add three to other sacred numbers to create new numbers. However, they also group threes in two’s and threes, because they believe in the principle of “intensification”, i.e., that greater power is achieved when a sacred number is grouped. In the case of three, greater intensification is achieved when it is shown as 33, or 333. 333 + 333 equals 666. Occultists have used 333 as the hidden symbol by which they present the more offensive number 666. When the details of an event are so arranged as to contain certain sacred occult numbers or numeric combinations, this is literally an occult signature on the event. Mathematically, 666 can be created when three pairs of threes are added. Thus, (3+3) + (3+3) + (3+3) = 666. Now, eliminate the parentheses and the plus sign, and you have 33 space, 33 space, 33, representing the number 666.

2. Six (6) is the next sacred number, representing the number of the soul of man (Westcott, p. 66). This shows the omnipotent power of God, as this belief parallels Revelation 13:18, where God assigns 666 to man and to the beast. Six is also believed to be “all-sufficient”. This parallels Biblical teaching, which states that man’s great sin is pride in himself.

3. Seven (7) is a sacred number. Van Buren calls 7 “one of the most sacred of all the numbers…the Invisible Centre, the Spirit of everything”. (p. 39) Since multiplication of seven creates an even more powerful sacred number, we should not be surprised that 3×7, or 21, is considered powerful .

4. Nine (9) is sacred because it is the “first cube of an odd number (3)”, (Van Buren, p.40-41)

The triple nine (999) is utilized to represent 666, because it is simply the inversion of 666.

5. Eleven (11) is a sacred number. When eleven is multiplied by the perfect number 3, the number 33 is produced, a number of tremendous occult importance. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and President Franklin Roosevelt came to power. Both these men were committed to the establishment of the New World Order, and their actions impacted humanity greatly. It was also in 1933 that the First Humanist Manifesto was issued. Do you see how Satan manipulated world history to produce three New World Order events in 1933? Thus, a powerful 333 served as a framework for world events in that year.

6. Thirteen (13) is deemed sacred. It was also no accident that Hitler chose the year 1939 to begin World War II, because 39 is formed by the multiplication of 13×3. Thus, you can see how human history has been shaped by the occult belief in the power of numbers.

33 is used a lot in the occult and the beast will claim to be God on a certain date that adds up to his occult number.

God uses numbers to represent things in the Bible, but the occult uses numbers to try to exalt themselves in which there is no power there for they cannot exalt themselves through nature.
Yes exactly The occult uses numbers and some use it to predict the future but I study it from the scriptures I pay attention to how it is used when it is used what references surround it and sometimes it helps to watch some trusted teachings on it as well.
The number three sadly has been perverted by the devil which it was and still is a number of perfection and holiness the number three is used in spells by users of whichcraft you knock on doors for them to open three times which normally I would disregard until I learned that doors are actually used very often for spiritual matters and hardly ever in a good way lets just say there are some doors you don't want opened

Biblical numerology is the utilization of numbers in the Bible to pass on a sign outside of the mathematical worth of the genuine number being utilized. Numerological qualities in the Bible regularly identify with a more extensive utilization in the Ancient Near East. Numerous Christians are currently utilizing numerology to anticipate their own lives or use it with an end goal to disentangle the Bible. Numbers in the Bible can frequently be taken in a real sense, yet they are now and again utilized as images. Numerous researchers have utilized numerology to see examples and codes in the Bible. You, when all is said and done, might have the option to discover heaps of stanzas with numbers in them. Numerology endeavors to clarify the significance of these numbers to perceive what God might be advising us by utilizing them. In any case, no place are we instructed to search for frameworks of numbers in the sacred text considerably less determined what those numbers imply. The Bible should be legitimate. However, when we begin searching for mathematical examples, the best anybody is doing is speculating.

Math is a part of everything of our world, and we have been made in the image of God.

Music has math in its whole and half step notes, the number of notes in a scale, and math formulas for harmonies. Art has math in its proportions, angles, circles, etc. Even making clothing has math as a base as it makes the measurements of the clothes fit the measurements of the body.

  1. Further numerical discrepancies Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)? --- How many gardens are there in paradise? ONE [as stated in 39:73, 41:30, 57:21, 79:41] or MANY [18:31, 22:23, 35:33, 78:32]? --- According to Sura 56:7 there will be THREE distinct groups of people at the Last Judgement, but 90:18-19, 99:6-8, etc. mention only TWO groups. --- There are conflicting views on who takes the souls at death: THE Angel of Death [32:11], THE angels (plural) [47:27] but also "It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death." [39:42]
    Angels have 2, 3, or 4 pairs of wings [35:1]. But Gabriel had 600 wings. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 455]

can any one help me with angel number 111, i have read that "One is a strong number for sign, which is essential for why many make a wish when they see it rehashed in a grouping, as 11:11 on a clock. "At the point when you see 111, consider the universe taking a screen capture of your temper," Michaela says. "Whatever is continuing — everything you think, representations, objectives, and dreams — they will be repeated." So when you see this succession, guaranteeing your contemplations and energy are centered around what you need can assist with guiding that energy into reality, as indicated by numerology."

So this is really bugging me here. I heard of numerology a long time ago the belief that numbers have spiritual meaning to them like the number three and seven with God six with satan and so on and how apparently God will be trying to send message using numbers that seem to appear in the same sequence a lot.

I didn't want anything to do with this so I stayed far away from it and yet I still for some reason keep seeing these things.

The ones I saw on almost a daily basis are 911 888 and recently 666. I don't just see them on the clock I see them everywhere and I always try to ignore it I don't want to be looking for it so I try to simply ignore it but I still for some reason keep seeing these numbers. I don't even know if numerology is even biblical
I don't know what you are defining numerology as. But if you ask the question, "do numbers have meaning in the Bible?", I think the answer is yes. The sabbath is the seventh day and on that day the law pointed to the believers not doing any work. Yet Jesus came and claimed that his father and he were working: "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." So, I see the sabbath as pointing to the fact that God does all of the work of saving his sheep while the sheep only rest in that respect. They cannot by their own work save themselves. It takes God doing all the work of saving them. So, we read: "Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you." So God does all the work of sanctifying his own. Therefore, in many other places in the Bible where I see the number seven used, I think of this concept: God does all the work of saving a person. We might read from Leviticus: "And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field." When this is read, I think, oh, that is talking about how God did all the work to save that person. The leper is a picture of an unsaved person, and once cleaned has become a saved person. But why seven times to sprinkle. I think it is a way of saying Jesus did all the work on the cross.

You shall not practice divination God said in the Bible. Remember also in the Bible that the Sword was unleashed against kingdoms most ancient for such practices where the particular practice of numerology originates.
