Biblical Meaning of Numbers: Taking a brief, but interesting look at this very controversial topic. I wonder... are you daring enough to take that same look? If you are, located below, is a Number Meaning teaser list that I've posted, simply for that purpose. Enjoy!

Biblical Numerology

Briefly exploring a topic that is perhaps the most intriguing and controversial subject amongst Christians today. I hold true to the notion, if used in the right way, this could be a powerful study tool. A tool that could assist not only when it comes to chronological research, but a tool that could help with a discovery that could lead one to a much deeper understanding, when it comes to the studying of God's Word

Now I like to think, if a person is bold enough, when it comes to exploring the interesting subject of Biblical Numerology. I personally believe, that person would find from within the information, a discovery, that could help one to develop a deeper understanding, when it comes to the reading of God’s Word. Therefore, making one, far more insightful, and discerning, from within their spiritual walk with the Lord. Now this page, is just a teaser. Something to simply wet your curiosity.

This is why the list of numbers, that are located further below, simply provides some general (and very brief) information, in regard to certain numbers.

My intentions, are not to bore (or overwhelm) you, when it comes to this page, or subject.

I also want you to know, the brief meaning descriptions that I'm giving, is based off my own personal understanding, when it comes to a particular number.

And although, the meaning of the number that I provide, falls within the consensus of opinion, when it comes to this subject.

The fact that I'm not, what you would call a "Biblical Numerology Expert" would lead me to suggest, that you don't use this list for studying purposes. But use it simply, as a way, to open your mind, when it comes to possibly adding more bible study options, to your bible studying toolbox.

Do You Want To Delve Deeper?

Now if you do decide to go much deeper, than the quick simple numbers list that's presented on this page. I'd like to think, you'll find that this is indeed an intriguing subject. You'll also discover, that it has a way of touching on, just about every area, when it comes to the studying of God's Word. And not just from a theology point of view, but leaning a lot towards, to one being able to gain some spiritual insight, that could perhaps, reveal a deeper meaning, when it comes to biblical prophecy. Also note, that most biblical scholars rely heavy, when it comes to using this type of research, in regard, to their biblical chronological studies as well.

So if you want to get a deeper understanding, when it comes to this fascinating subject, then by all means, turn to the experts, by picking up a really good Biblical Numerology book, that discusses the topic in much greater detail. 

I'd like to think, that you can't go wrong, when your studying a book that's titled Number in Scripture which was written by E.W. Bullinger. This book is simply, a classic, when it comes to getting straight to the point of a number.

Another great book to pick up, is titled Biblical Numerology. This is a book that was written by John J. Davis. Now some would say, his approach to this subject, is very meticulous and in-depth, but well worth the read.

And finally, there's also a book that's titled Numbers in the Bible. This book was written by Robert D. Johnston. Know that this is also a great book. His work is considered by many, to be very insightful, and very accurate, when it comes to scriptural (or Bible) numerics.

Keep in mind that all of these books can be found at :

Now I've created this page, simply for the sake of curiosity. And like I'd just revealed earlier, I personally find the subject, that deals with the Biblical Meaning of Numbers, to be quite fascinating, and nothing more than that. Understand that we must not, make the mistake of thinking, that certain numbers, don't play some kind of role, from within the telling of the Scriptures.

This is why, I also believe, when one is able to approach this subject, with the right kind of mindset, the type of information that one discovers, from their exploration of the subject (Biblical Numerology, or the Biblical Meaning of Numbers) could easily be used, as a very powerful Bible study tool (if done correctly) that could help open the door, to obtaining, a much deeper and insightful understanding, when it comes to God's Word overall.

But I also want you to know, that we must be careful, when it comes to using this type of knowledge, for we must not, make the mistake, of trying to use this type of information, when it comes to predicting future events, or anything else, that will fall outside the context of the Sacred Scriptures. Understand, that this practice must be avoided at all cost! Remember that God, has already told us through His prophets, and apostles, on what's to come, and what we need to expect, when it comes to this world. When it comes to His divine judgment; and how we should look at death; and how we can achieve Eternal Life.

It's A Choice -- Not A Mandate?

Now with that being stated... I want you to know, I'm not suggesting, that using this type of information, should be mandated. I want to make it clear, it's your choice, if you choose to explore the subject further, or not. So don't let this controversial topic, become a distraction, or to be used, as a diversion, that could deter you from your pursuit, of gaining deeper understanding, and greater insight, when it comes to the Sacred Record. Basically, don't get caught up in the silly debates, and arguments (when it comes to this subject), that are designed to weaken your faith, and to keep you from the one "true source" that God intended for you to use in the first place, which is the Holy Scriptures.

Now I find it very interesting, that the very same Christian leaders, and Bible teachers, that get up, and speak out against using this type of information, would in turn, get up and say things like: "You know, the number eight signifies new beginnings" or "The number six, is the number of man" or "Five is God's number for grace" so on and so forth.

Now I know, that they mean well, and I also want you to know, that I do have great respect for them, and the office that they serve in. But don't slam me, because I decided to dedicate a web page, towards the subject. Understand, that I believe that the Sacred Record, was written by the apostles, and the prophets, of the One True God. I also believe, that these people were totally led, and inspired, by the Spirit of the Lord.

I also hold the viewpoint, that the Sacred Scriptures alone, is the Word of God. And we must not forget, that the "Message of Truth" that they tell, is pure, and rich, all by itself. I pray that as believers, that one day, we will stop the bickering, and arguing amongst each other; and just learn to enjoy the beauty, truth, and the full richness, of God's glorious Word. And most importantly, that we're able to do it together.

For the Sake of Curiosity & Nothing More

I would also like to point out, that I did not create this page for the endorsement of practices such as:

Astrological Divination - Occultic Religions - Witchcraft - Interpretation of Omens - Physic Readings - Spiritualism - Sorcery - Horoscopes - Zodiacs - Magic Texts - Etc...

"Let know one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or cast spells, or who is a medium or spiritualist, or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you." -- Deuteronomy 18:10-13
