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.
