Meaning of Numbers 1 to 23

 

1 = unity

2 = opposition

3 = government

4 = mortality, death

(and the messiah: the one who brings eternal life)

6 = creation; procreation; reproduction

(union of the masculine and feminine forces of nature)

7 = completion, rest

8 =  the end of a cycle/era & the beginning of a new one

9 = trial and tribulation

(but, note: it makes us stronger.. it's not all bad)

EXPLANATION

There are really only ten numbers in numerology, hence only ten meanings or interpretations (however one wishes to look at them).

They are 1 through 9 and 11.  11 is the "master number".  I'm not exactly sure what that means, and of course, I don't have a clue as to why it is the "master number", because I don't know what it means.

To me, it suggests that the number 11 (and all multiples thereof) are special in some way.  I'd even go so far as to call it the "ethereal number".

Maybe the following book answers my question:

 

10 = 1+0 = wholeness, everything, the universe, all is one (unity)

Check out the Tarot Card, #10, entitled, "The Wheel of Fortune"


http://www.tryskelion.com/wof.htm

Note:  The Wheel has always been a symbol of the galaxy in which we live, which for all intents and purposes is our universe.

 

11 = the master number

 

------------------(NOW: add digits)------------------

12 = (1 + 2) = 3 = government

(hence 12 apostles to lead the church that the Nazarene founded)

13 = (1 + 3) = 4 = death

(now you know why 13 is such an unlucky number)

Check out the Tarot Card, #13, entitled, "Death":


http://www.tryskelion.com/deathcrd.htm

Note:  The scythe bearing skeleton is tearing at the twin coils (representative of DNA).  Also notice the serpent (also representative of a DNA strand) lying dead on the floor.

14 = 5 = triumph over death

Also, I think it is pertinent to point out that in Hebrew Numerology, 14 was the number of the messiah, i.e., the one would bring redemption over Israel's enemies and over death.  So, when Matthew (the author of the first book of the New Testament in the Christian Bible) lists the genealogy of Jeshua bar Joseph ben David, the Nazarene, he takes great pains to show the lineage, which from Abraham was three sets of 14 generations.  14 showed that the Nazarene was the Christ.  3 showed that he had the right of government, i.e., the right to be king of all Israel.)

15 = 6 = procreation; sex

Incidentally, the Tarot Card #6 is "Lovers" and usually portrays Adam and Eve (or other lovers) with a coiled serpent.  To see the #6 Tarot Card, click here.

THIS IS THE # 15 Tarot Card, entitled: "Devil":


http://www.tryskelion.com/devilcrd.htm

Notice the phallus symbol and the two spheres, representing testicles; clearly a symbol of sex or procreation.  But, what really catches my attention is the winged staff in the middle, with twin serpents just under the wings.  Wow!  For more info on the symbolism of cosmic, twin serpents, click here.

WHY IS THIS CARD CALLED "DEVIL"?

I believe the answer to that can be found in the two spheres.  When the act of procreation (sex) is done in immoral, lascivious, perverted ways, it then is Devilish.

I also believe that the Devil entices people to "leave" the straight and narrow path through sex.  Sex, which is a necessary and holy act when done in the bounds of marriage, is, I believe the Devil's primary tool to lead people to destruction.

 

16 = 1+6 = 7 = completion / rest

17 = 8 = the end of one cycle & the beginning a new one

18 = 9 = trial and tribulation

19 = 1 = unity

20 = 2 = opposition

21 = 3 = government

22 = 11 = the master number

23 = 5 = triumph over death: eternal life

etc.

note:  all multiples of 11 are master numbers.

 

 

 

 

Biblical Application of Numerology
Numerology in the Bible

Believe it or not, the Bible is replete with numerology!

# Meaning Application
1 unity Jesus of Nazareth said:  "I am my father are one."
(John 10:30)
2 opposition light/darkness
God/Devil
Good/Evil
shall I go on?
3 government Godhead (the Trinity)
12 apostles to lead the church (12=1+2=3)
4 death 40 days and nights of rain killed all humans, save 8
(40=4+0=4)
5 triumph over death; immortality Enoch lived 365 years before being taken up to live with God for eternity.  He did not have to taste of death.  He was granted immortality.
(365=3+6+5=14=1+4=5)
6 creation; procreation God created the world and all therein in 6 "days" or "periods of time".
7 completion; rest God rested on the 7th day.
8 new beginning The Earth was replenished by 8 souls after the flood.
9 trial;
tribulation;
travail
Abraham's wife, Sarah, had her faith tried for 90 years being barren and without child.

I believe the origin of this meaning comes from the fact that a woman is burdened with child for nine months.  Support for this:

"For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her."  (4Ezra 8:8)

"And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames."  (Isaiah 13:8)

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."  (1Thess. 5:3)

666 trial,
tribulation,
travail
Meaning of the number 666 from the Bible;  Meaning of the number of the beast (666):

6+6+6 = 18;  1+8 = 9;  9 = trial, tribulation, travail

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.Because of the beast, all humanity will suffer trial, tribulation, and travail.  Oh, by the way, 666 is not the number of the Devil, it is the number of a man.

["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." (Revelations 13:18)]

Interestingly:  13 + 18 = 31 = 3 + 1 = 4, death!

 

 

 

Real Life Applications of Numerology

 

A date that will live in infamy:

9/11/2001

9 + 11 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 23 => 2 + 3 = 5

Now there are a lot of ways of looking at this.  The number five signifies immortality. 

(1) The names of all the victims of September 11th, 2001 have been immortalized in a memorial.

(2) The number five also signifies messiah, and I think that Usama Bin Laden thinks of himself as some kind of messiah, come to liberate the Muslims from Evil nations/peoples, such as America and Americans, and all their allies.

 

69 = 15 = 6 = sex

(How apropos! No?)

 

This book is about using numerology in everyday life, to improve the quality of your life.

 

 

 

  Numerology in Science

 

# Meaning Application
1 unity the union of the female gamete (containing 23 chromosomes) and the male gamete (containing 23 chromosomes) = 46 chromosomes.  46 = 1
2 opposition 2 opposite genders
2 opposite hemispheres of the brain
3 government The human body is governed by three systems:
Nervous System
Endocrine System
Circulatory System

There are 4 bases (A, C, T & G) in the human genome, making 12 possible combinations.  [12 =3].  Those 12 combinations are what determine (govern) who you are!

4 death; end ?
5 immortality 23 chromosomes must be passed on in order to achieve immortality (to cheat death).  23 = 5
6 creation;
reproduction
There are 6 possible pairs of bases in a human DNA sequence.  {AC, AT, AG, TC, TG, GC}.  These pairs occur through reproduction.
7 rest One's body needs a minimum 7 hours of sleep a night for optimal performance.
8 birth The 8th hole is for birth.  (see explanation below).
9 travail The woman travails after nine months of burden in order to deliver a child.

ANATOMY: 8th hole

The male human has 7 orifices (holes).  They are:
2 nostrils (nose holes)
2 aural foramen (ear holes)
a mouth
an anal sphincter (poop hole)
an external sphincter of the urinary tract (pee hole)

The female human has 8 holes.  Guess what the 8th hole is for?
That's right! New beginnings; Birth!

8 = new beginnings; birth

 

This book combines numerology and mathematics

 

 

Numerology in Fiction

 

Was Douglas Adams Right?

Book DVD

In his book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, He suggests that 
The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42!

And what does 42 mean?

Well, 42 = 4+2 = 6 = creation, procreation, reproduction

Is that what it's all about?

Is that the answer to life, the universe and everything?

Jim Cary's New Movie:  The Number 23

In the TRAILER for the movie, it mentions that 2 ÷ 3 is 0.666, but that is so wrong.

2 ÷ 3 is actually 0.6 repeating.

And that's not how numerology works, anyways.  You add digits.  You don't divide them.

The TRUTH about the number 23 is 23 = 2 + 3 = 5 = immortality; overcoming death; messiah

I don't know exactly what the movie has to say, but I'm going to find out!
