Actually there isn't one. Some people kick the number 8 around as the day of the resurrection. You'll hear it referred to as the eighth day of creation and other such things. 888 is sometimes used as a counter of sorts to 666.

As was said earlier, there's no meaning to 888.

However the number 8 has a lot of symbolic meaning in Christianity. The day Christ rose from the dead has, from the earliest days of Christianity, been referred to as the "eighth day of creation" since in Christ there is new creation. Additionally, in the Old Testament male infants were supposed to be circumcised on their eighth day.

Together this has made the number 8 symbolic of regeneration, renewal, etc. So traditionally baptismal fonts have eight sides, and many ancient churches were built with octagonal architecture.

Beyond that symbolism, the number 8 doesn't have any special significance or meaning. And the number eight hundred and eighty-eight (888) doesn't mean anything.

And the pH of the alkaline water on that water bottle being 8.88 doesn't mean anything except as saying what the pH of the water is.

Does God forgives us or just leave us in our messes to reap what we sowed?

Number 8 means new beginning or redeemer. Jesus is coming 7th trump to establish His kingdom. Biblical numbers have a significant modification. One who abounds in strength. God rested on the 7th day, old testament, Genesis. In genesis chapter 12, God made covenant with Abraham. With blessings for obedience. Solomons temple represents strength. Was not the Mercy seat and Ark of God in temple Solomon built. Jesus was on the mountain seven times. The eighth He was crucified. Was thier weakness in crucifixion of jesus?? Who's the redeemer for Christians??. We need to Get Real Here !!. Seven and eight go together. If you call yourselves Christian.

I updated my recent post.
I was watching the number 7 video by Brandon Peterson again, and I forgot he mentioned how 888 = JESUS.
By the way, this video is truly mind blowing. It truly shows that the Bible is God’s divinely inspired Word.

I hope this helps.

May God’s grace, and love shine upon you.

The author of the video does show a lot of 777‘s going on in the Bible. This is involved in Jesus being the Alpha, and the Omega. Really a mind blowing video. A person cannot say the Bible is not inspired after watching the entirety of that video.

:oldthumbsup:
7 is one of God's numbers, representing completeness, or perfection.

Besides which, why would the number 8, written 3 x on a bottle of something mean anything at all theologically?

I believe 777 is associated with God and Jesus a lot, and yet 888 is also associated with Him, as well. The same with the number 3 (Which stands for the Trinity and the resurrection). But yes. The number 7 is God’s number. Most of Christianity and even the Jews agree on this fact. Again, check out the video I posted. I think it will blow your mind.
