Maybe. But the title of your thread is "numerology"; that is not a Christian term or something that the church teaches or practices.
But that's wrong. Scripture is full of numerology. 666? 777? So how is it not a Christian concept if God proceeded all false teaching. Don't you know the devil imitates what God does? If God put numerology in scripture first, for example 666 being the number of the beast, then how on earth can you say it is not a Christian concept? If God is the one who came up with it and put it in scripture? Those numbers came from him. Of course satan perverts everything and later imitated it and uses it to deceive. As for the church not teaching it that is completely irrelevant, the majority of churches today are very worldly. If the church was our standard, and we blindly followed what pastors and church leaders said rather than scripture itself, we would all be doomed. So that's a bad argument to make.

At any rate, I put it in the controversial section for a reason. :p

I don't think you understand. The 1111 phenomenon happens to many people, just google it. If it were like what you were saying, just pure coincidence, then why wouldn't people be reporting 10:10, or 2:22? as that happens twice a day too? Why are a bunch of people seeing 1111 specifically? So your argument makes no sense. It's obviously not a coincidence, when it happens everyday for both me and other people.
There has been a 23 hype too, years ago.
Even a movie with Jim Carrey was made about it.

PS: On my 24 hour clocks 22:22 can also be seen once a day, by the way.
As can 0:00 (midnight).
(24 hour clocks are normal in Europe.)

23 is also an occult number.


People are seeing 1:11, 11:11, and 10:10 even - all important in occultology.

The Most High God wouldn't be using numbers to draw attention; He would tell you the number, and send someone.

Some years ago I was parked in a hospital waiting room and there was nothing to read except a religious magazine that had an article that made a big deal about the three sixes in "666". After chuckling over this for a while I asked for a paper and wrote a reply:

The Koine Greek that Christian scripture was composed in used the Miletus number system not the Roman number system. Like the Roman system, the Miletus system used Greek letters to repesent numbers. This system required 27 letters to stand for numbers, Nine letters were used to represent the numbers 1, 2, 3, .... 8, 9; another nine were used for 10, 20, 30, .... 80, 90; nine more were used for 100, 200, 300, ... 800, 900. So the number 666 would consist of the three letters (chi, xi and vau) representing 600 + 60 + 6. There has been much conjecture on the precise meaning of the number 666. Much is made of numerology in which words are given mystical meanings by assigning numbers to the letters. Some claim it refers to Caesar Nero (AD54 – 68) who was the first Roman emperor to seriously persecute the Christians while others suggest it was Caesar Domitian (AD81- 96) who was the emperor at the time Revelation was written. Domitian was worse than Nero as far as persecutions were concerned and he was widely believed at the time to have been a reincarnation of Nero. It could hardly represent the Roman Catholic Church or the Papacy since these institutions were centuries from being formalized. It is likely the 666 refers to the Roman Empire in some way. Incidentally some people have made much of the three sixes in 666. However, 666 is a place value decimal system with Arabic numerals both of which were centuries in the future. In the Miletus system there was only the one 6. It is also interesting to note that in a few ancient manuscripts the number is 616 not 666.

I always see 11:11 every time I look at the clock and this number always pops up and I'm not sure why. Is this from God or the devil, and how would I know? I did not ask to see it, nor am I involved in the new age at all. I just randomly see this number and I want to know why. I ignore the new age spiritual teachings on it, but I wonder can this be from God and if so what does it mean? Does anyone else see this or just me? Please don't call me crazy because I heard a lot of other people experience this phenomenon. The spiritual realm is very real, I just want to know what it means, as long as it's not from the devil.

Certain Bible numbers can have either a positive or a negative meaning to them.

The negative meaning of the number 11 in the Bible is:
"Judgment."

The positive meaning of the number 11 in the Bible is:
"Transition" or "A Coming Change."

In the majority of the world today: The 11th hour is the last hour before a new day is about to begin.

Genesis 11:11
"And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."

Shem was in the line of the Messiah. He was the son who lived through judgment upon the world. Jesus took on the judgment of sins of the whole world upon himself.

Leviticus 11:11
"They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination."

Peter has a vision of God telling Peter to eat unclean animals (See: Acts of the Apostles 10:9-15). Later, Peter realizes the meaning of this vision. When Peter (a Jew) encountered a man named Cornelius (who was a Gentile), he said to him, "You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." (Acts of the Apostles 10:28). A change of focus of ministry had happened in the mind of Peter. Although Jesus told his disciples to go out into all nations to preach the gospel, they were not truly getting what Jesus meant. Now, Peter at this point had gotten it. He understood that the gospel is now for all men (including the Gentiles). This was a big change or transitional point in the life of Peter as far as spreading the good news of His beloved Savior.

Deuteronomy 11:11
"But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven"

The Lord’s promise to His people in Deuteronomy 11:11 talks about how when Israel once and for all arrives in the "Promised Land," they would face a coming change (transition) into a new season where God’s continual blessing from the beginning of the year to the end.

Deuteronomy 11:12
"A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year."

John 11:11
"These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."

Jesus is about to raise Lazarus from the dead.

A coming change.
A transition.

God's Word is so perfect and beautiful.

All the verses you quote with 11:11 is to assume that the numbering of the verses was divinely inspired. There is no evidence of that. It was developed somewhere in the 1500s.

The sun has a Sun Spot Cycle of 11 years. Sun spots are dark spots on the surface of the sun. Sunspots have intense magnetic fields which are associated with magnetic storms on earth. Radio reception on earth is also affected by the sun spot cycle. This transition happens at the peak of every 11-year sunspot cycle -- like clockwork.

Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. (11/11/1918). The anniversary of this day is still celebrated as Veterans Day on November 11th in the United States and as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world. A major change for peace. A transition was made at this point.

Israel was accepted as member of the United Nations on May 11, 1949. This marked a change or transition after recently becoming a nation one year prior.

Jesus Christ = 11 letters. Jesus brings about change or a transition in a person's life.

The Lord's Prayer is found in Luke 11:1 in the Bible

The 11th hour is the final hour of the day. Jesus said there are twelve hours in day (John 11:9). Jesus mentions the 11th hour in his Parable in the Vineyard Workers (See Matthew 20:1-16).

Salvation has come to the Gentiles:

Romans 11:11
"I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy."

This is a change.

Sarah received the promised child.

Hebrews 11:11
"Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised."

This was a change. Her faith paid off. She received a miracle child.
This miracle child is a parallel to the ultimate miracle child who is Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and rose 3 days later upon the cross for our sins to give us new life.

Those working specifically with the Angelic Realm (and it’s energy) hold firmly to the understanding that if you are continually seeing the numbers 11, 11:11, 111 or 1111 then you are experiencing Angelic communication. It is said that the most common way that angels communicate is through the universal language of numbers and music... the 11:11 synchronicity often appears in the lives of ‘Starseeds’ and is said to occur at the time when they are awakening to their spiritual purpose and mission on earth. A Starseed is human with a soul that did not originate on earth... Eleven is the number of new beginnings: 11:11 is a number activation sequence. One hypothesis holds that anytime you see 11,111 or 1111 on a clock it represents an opportunity for profound manifestation. The universe is creating a very powerful moment in which your intentions will manifest with a degree of speed and efficiency never before experienced.... when you see 11:11, you feel connected with the Universe and everyone else who is currently experiencing this phenomenon. You completely understand what “we are all one” means...

The above ideas are typical of where these kind of 'numerology' fascinations lead. I believe that Numerology is just a 'christian' form of what psychics and diviners do, its astrology and horoscopes for christians.
Why would God be toying and playing with us, using numbers with intriguing secret and 'hidden meanings', when all along God has condemned and ridiculed sorcery and divination?

All the verses you quote with 11:11 is to assume that the numbering of the verses was divinely inspired. There is no evidence of that. It was developed somewhere in the 1500s.

So you don't believe numbers have any significance in the Bible?
That is really strange.
Do you not know that 7 can mean rest or end?
Under the Law of Moses (that is no longer a binding contract), the weekly mandated Sabbath keeping is the end of the week.
Hundreds of 7's appear at the end of Revelation unlike any other book in the Bible.
The word "finished" (end) is also connected with the number "seven." In Revelation 10:7 we read,

“In the days of the voice of the SEVENTH angel, when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be FINISHED.”

What about the number 40?
It rained for 40 days and 40 nights while Noah was in the Ark.
I imagine it was a bit challenging for him to go through that with all the animals on board and the storm rocking the boat around.
Jesus was tempted in the wilderness (desert) for 40 days and 40 nights.
Both Noah and Jesus were in a trial of sorts.
This pattern with the number 40 can be seen elsewhere in Scripture.
All numbers in the Bible have a meaning behind them based on their repeated pattern. You cannot ignore it unless you simply do not want to see it.

The verse numbers play a part in this, as well.
Whether you want to see that fact or not.

I imagine the chapter and verse numbers are important to God.
For if you say "John 3:16" to a believer, they will know exactly what you are talking about. The heart of the gospel. Jesus. God's love. What He has done for us. God surely knowing how the verse numbers would help His people to hide God's Word in their hearts.

My suggestion:

Watch a few videos by Mike Hoggard:

The number 7, and number 8 are really good studies of his.
You can check them out on YouTube.

Please take note that I do not care for Mike's other teachings or videos besides Biblical Numerics. So I would not recommend him for anything else really. Just his study on numbers in the Bible will blow your mind. He will give the facts. It is up to you if you want to accept them or not.

Most 'any' event that ever happens could be called a 'transition'. I don't believe that is 'evidence' to substantiate spiritually directed events happening on the 11th, this I suggest needs a more convincing similarity.

The decision to end the great War, was not by accident, it was 'chosen' specifically because it would be memorable, which it is, since 22/22 and 33/33 were not available...

Well, I am strongly against all forms of occult numerology. Hence, why I skipped your posting on occult numerology and hence why I erased it in my quoting of your post. I consider that stuff to be evil. I believe as a Christian not even to mess with reading or looking at anything evil. In fact, I would encourage you to edit that portion of your post immediately and erase it (because it is evil). This is why I am not a big fan of studying other false cults or religions so much. If a person were to study bad junk, that stuff can effect them in some small way. Paul says we are to focus on that which is good.

Anyways, I am not talking about numbers outside of the Bible or bible numbers in false religions. They are not the same thing. That is like saying prayer is bad because you see a bad prayer in false religions. You are using guilt by association and you are not looking at what the Bible actually says about the counting of numbers.

Revelation 13:18 says,
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.

So the Bible says above here that a part of wisdom, you are to count a particular number. It then tells us the meaning of this particular number, too. So I suppose you should tear out this verse out of your Bible because it is teaching meaning behind numbers?

The number mentioned in Revelation 13:18 is 666.
It just so happens that the 666th chapter of the Bible is Ecclesiastes 7.

It says this:

"I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things,..." (Ecclesiastes 7:25).

"Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account" (Ecclesiastes 7:27).

So here we have a connection.

Two places in the Bible that talk about:

(a) Wisdom
(b) Counting number(s).​

As a part of the number 666.
Coincidences?
If you believe in such things.
I know of many other numbers in the Bible that have a repeated meaning attached to them. You have to put on horse blinders to ignore them if you were to actually check them out. If God's Word is Holy and it is and numbers attached with meaning were wrong, then we would not have Revelation 13:8, Ecclesiastes 7:25, Ecclesiastes 7:27, and tons of numbers with a repeated pattern of meaning that would make a person drop on their knees in awe of Jesus Christ who is God Almighty in the flesh.

But that's wrong. Scripture is full of numerology. 666? 777?

I may be wrong, but I don't see that as numerology.
Numbers do tend to represent something in Scripture. The number 7 is said to be God's number and represents completeness/perfection - he completed the world in 7 days. The number 3 is also God's number, maybe because of the Trinity.
Number 6 is the number of man - created on the 6th day, one short of perfection, less than God.
666 is, in my view, describing someone who is totally man - no soul, no intention of having a relationship with God, ONLY human.

But this is not quite the same as saying that the number 6 is important to humans because it describes, or predicts, their life and destiny. Or that number 7 is a lucky number and if you were born on the 7th, in the 7th month or have the number 7 in your life in any other way, it means you are destined to become a Christian, or godlike in some way.
My cousins' grandmother was into this. She used to tell people to add the numbers of their birthday together, e.g 1/08/1957, and add the digits of that number together. This would give them their "number" - and each number from 1-9 stood for something. So if your "number" was 8, it might mean you were a X sort of person, or destined to be a teacher/nurse/carer etc etc.
Some people take this very seriously and let the numbers rule their lives, or at least heavily influence them. Like horoscopes. If they met someone whose number was 2, or something, they might avoid them because they weren't compatible. Or if they saw the number 4 in several places, they might go and change career because of it.
Again, I may be wrong but THAT is what I understand by numerology. And the fact that you are saying "I see the number 11 repeatedly, is this from God and trying to tell me something; what does it mean?" is concerning.
God reveals himself in nature, Psalm 19:1, in Scripture, through the words and prophecies of the prophets, and then, ultimately, in Jesus.

Don't you know the devil imitates what God does?

Exactly.
And if the message of numerology is "you have a special number which governs your life, describes who you are and dictates your destiny", how is that from God, when the Bible says that God created us, made us who we are, gives us gifts and so on. We have a destiny - to belong to God and be with him forever. The way to do that is to read the Bible and accept Jesus, not have your life dictated by a number.

If God put numerology in scripture first, for example 666 being the number of the beast, then how on earth can you say it is not a Christian concept?

You seem to be saying that every time a number is mentioned in Scripture it is numerology; I don't believe that is the case. Google what numerology is, rather than saying "God put it in Scripture".
Revelation says that 666 is man's number. Number 6 was thought, by the Hebrews, to represent man, like I said above. That doesn't mean that a man who was born on 6/6/66, or whose names all contain 6 letters, or whatever is the antiChrist. The antichrist is someone who is completely anti Christ; completely human or trusts in human power and ability to save themselves and the world.
That Scripture contains numbers does not mean that God uses, or approves of, numerology.

As for the church not teaching it that is completely irrelevant, the majority of churches today are very worldly.

And some churches are very Scriptural - which is why they don't touch it with a barge pole.

If the church was our standard, and we blindly followed what pastors and church leaders said rather than scripture itself, we would all be doomed. So that's a bad argument to make.

No it's not - the church has doctrine, teaching and practices for a reason. If numerology is not one of the things that it teaches, it's very likely it's because it's wrong - like horoscopes, contacting the dead, reading peoples' palms etc etc.

At any rate, I put it in the controversial section for a reason. :p

In my view it's not controversial at all - it's something to be avoided.

We have Scripture. We are God's children, belong to God, are heirs with Christ and have EVERY spiritual blessing in Christ, Ephesians 1:3.
If you want to know what God is saying to you, ask him. Ask his Holy Spirit to live in you and guide you; why trust in a bunch of numbers?

I don't think you understand. The 1111 phenomenon happens to many people, just google it. If it were like what you were saying, just pure coincidence, then why wouldn't people be reporting 10:10, or 2:22? as that happens twice a day too? Why are a bunch of people seeing 1111 specifically? So your argument makes no sense. It's obviously not a coincidence, when it happens everyday for both me and other people.

I think it is okay to recognize these numbers in our lives (only from a Biblical perspective) if we see them and not as a guide or means to rule our life. Numbers should only have meaning for us in light of the Bible and what it says about that number (and they should be more like a study of God's Word). However, if we seek to guide our lives by these numbers based on the new age, or the occult (commonly known as numerology), we are venturing outside of God's Word and swimming into dangerous spiritual waters. But you said that you are not into new age numerology. But it is important that you understand not to confuse Biblical Numerics with just plain Numerology (Which is generally of the occult). Some sites attempt to merge the words "Bible" and "Numerology" but I think now that this is not a correct thing to do (Which is something of a recent discovery for even myself*). We have to be holy and separate and the word "numerology" is defined in the dictionary as guiding your life by numbers. This is definitely not what "Biblical Numerics" is about. Biblical Numerics is merely a study of God's Word on the meaning of numbers within it. This kind of study helps us to see how God's Word is divine in origin and how it is all breathes together as a collective whole. In a way Biblical Numerics is kind of like doing key word studies but they also have numbers attached to it. Revelation 13:18 is verse that says we can count a number (in the Scriptures) as a part of wisdom (knowledge). Anything beyond this unbiblical.

I hope this helps, and may God bless you today.

I always see 11:11 every time I look at the clock and this number always pops up and I'm not sure why. Is this from God or the devil, and how would I know? I did not ask to see it, nor am I involved in the new age at all. I just randomly see this number and I want to know why. I ignore the new age spiritual teachings on it, but I wonder can this be from God and if so what does it mean? Does anyone else see this or just me? Please don't call me crazy because I heard a lot of other people experience this phenomenon. The spiritual realm is very real, I just want to know what it means, as long as it's not from the devil.

It means nothing but the time.

I may be wrong, but I don't see that as numerology.
Numbers do tend to represent something in Scripture. The number 7 is said to be God's number and represents completeness/perfection - he completed the world in 7 days. The number 3 is also God's number, maybe because of the Trinity.
Number 6 is the number of man - created on the 6th day, one short of perfection, less than God.
666 is, in my view, describing someone who is totally man - no soul, no intention of having a relationship with God, ONLY human.

But this is not quite the same as saying that the number 6 is important to humans because it describes, or predicts, their life and destiny. Or that number 7 is a lucky number and if you were born on the 7th, in the 7th month or have the number 7 in your life in any other way, it means you are destined to become a Christian, or godlike in some way.
My cousins' grandmother was into this. She used to tell people to add the numbers of their birthday together, e.g 1/08/1957, and add the digits of that number together. This would give them their "number" - and each number from 1-9 stood for something. So if your "number" was 8, it might mean you were a X sort of person, or destined to be a teacher/nurse/carer etc etc.
Some people take this very seriously and let the numbers rule their lives, or at least heavily influence them. Like horoscopes. If they met someone whose number was 2, or something, they might avoid them because they weren't compatible. Or if they saw the number 4 in several places, they might go and change career because of it.
Again, I may be wrong but THAT is what I understand by numerology. And the fact that you are saying "I see the number 11 repeatedly, is this from God and trying to tell me something; what does it mean?" is concerning.
God reveals himself in nature, Psalm 19:1, in Scripture, through the words and prophecies of the prophets, and then, ultimately, in Jesus.



Exactly.
And if the message of numerology is "you have a special number which governs your life, describes who you are and dictates your destiny", how is that from God, when the Bible says that God created us, made us who we are, gives us gifts and so on. We have a destiny - to belong to God and be with him forever. The way to do that is to read the Bible and accept Jesus, not have your life dictated by a number.



You seem to be saying that every time a number is mentioned in Scripture it is numerology; I don't believe that is the case. Google what numerology is, rather than saying "God put it in Scripture".
Revelation says that 666 is man's number. Number 6 was thought, by the Hebrews, to represent man, like I said above. That doesn't mean that a man who was born on 6/6/66, or whose names all contain 6 letters, or whatever is the antiChrist. The antichrist is someone who is completely anti Christ; completely human or trusts in human power and ability to save themselves and the world.
That Scripture contains numbers does not mean that God uses, or approves of, numerology.



And some churches are very Scriptural - which is why they don't touch it with a barge pole.



No it's not - the church has doctrine, teaching and practices for a reason. If numerology is not one of the things that it teaches, it's very likely it's because it's wrong - like horoscopes, contacting the dead, reading peoples' palms etc etc.



In my view it's not controversial at all - it's something to be avoided.

We have Scripture. We are God's children, belong to God, are heirs with Christ and have EVERY spiritual blessing in Christ, Ephesians 1:3.
If you want to know what God is saying to you, ask him. Ask his Holy Spirit to live in you and guide you; why trust in a bunch of numbers?

Well, said. I agree with most of what you wrote here (Except about the statement about churches - which is another topic of discussion).

Peace, and blessings to you in the Lord (according to His will).

Please don't call me crazy because I heard a lot of other people experience this phenomenon. The spiritual realm is very real, I just want to know what it means, as long as it's not from the devil.

when I was young and foolish I demanded God to show me an outward sign that would prove his existence. It was night at the time and I was walking my dog in a park and I stopped at a park lamp and gave him a choice to turn off the light or forfeit his existence. Of course nothing happened and I said God must not be real. Later I reconciled these thoughts and felt ashamed for them and as I was walking my dog in the same park at night as I normally did I noticed that lamp was turned off. Afterward I found myself seeing street lights turn off everywhere and it always reminded me of that moment and made me feel that despite my anxiousness God is still in control and he is still there, later I just simply praise God. I don't know if it's just a sensitivity of mine now, like when you buy a new car then all of a sudden you see the same car wherever you go but it doesn't matter because I carry a reminder with me now that God is there with a flicker of a light and this is a good thing.

11:11 may be nothing and because you have taken notice of it you may be more sensitive to seeing it. I remember a time I thought it was nightly I would wake up at exactly 12:34 (1-2-3-4) and it seemed to keep coming up but no meaning came of it. If you are not sure what 11:11 means then turn it into a meaning that gives glory to God then everytime you see it you may praise his name. You could search for a bible verse that is 11:11 like Deuteronomy 11:11 which is a verse of transition for Israel crossing the jordan into the promise land or you can see it as the 11th hour, the time just before new beginnings, another transition meaning. You may use it to act in the moment rather than wait until it is too late, or know that what is ahead of you God has given and to give him glory for it.

You need not search for meaning but rather when you see it give glory to God and use it simply as a reminder to do just that or say a small prayer for God to guide you in his will. If you search long enough you will probably connect with a meaning and as you already know it could lead to counter-biblical themes so why not control it by simply praising God every time you see 11:11. Certainly nothing can be wrong with that.

It doesn't mean anything. It's just a coincidence.

Like when you don't notice a certain car until you happen to purchase one. Almost immediately you start seeing that same kind of car everywhere.

I'm a truck driver. I drove a truck about 5 years ago with the number 909 on it. I really liked that truck. I only drove it for a couple months. But even now many times when I look up at the clock it says 9:09.

My truck number now is 26. I see trucks from companies with the same number all the time.

It's just your mind being fixated on things you've been exposed to.

Just coincidence.

Read the Bible and quit worrying about it.
