good one. Timely for me.

Let me ask you something - having been reborn- is it bad then do you think to look at the number stuff and Gematria? To learn those connections? I mean- in a larger sense is it bad to study what is going on- even tho yah we know? does this make sense? I watch the garbage and I see it - I do live in this “world”-

? Main focus is Bible and God tho for sure.

Hello,

2 Corinthians 2:11 "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

Satan will get advantage of us if we are ignorant of his devices. That being said, however, we are not to get our hands into his devices. While supernatural number patterns may be found in the 66 books of the Holy Bible, we are to limit its use to pure counting.

Revelation 13:18 "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."

Understanding of scripture must precede counting: number patterns in the Bible are therefore indicative of scripture. They will always point you back to scripture.

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

Again in this verse, the Bible is telling us to count "one by one," and the purpose is to find out knowledge — knowledge of the holy.

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

That is why God calls it wisdom to count things in Revelation 13:18. The bible's way of counting is simple — we are to count things "one by one" to find out the account. For example, Revelation 13:18 tells us that the number of the beast is '666.' Notice there are 3 6s in this number? Look for similar things that bear the pattern of 3 6s. It will point us back to the number of the beast, and that's where we discover the connections.

The Devil is a beast as God has created him to be. That's why he will always leave behind his hoofprints (symbols) wherever he goes, and you'll only be able to see his hoofprints through the "eyes of the Lord," the 1611 King James Bible. No other bibles will show them to you like the pure word of God does, rather, they have been engineered to hide those symbols.

Numerology and Gemetria as such are not of such nature. While there may be a supernatural element in them, they don't point you back to scripture, but are entire standalone systems of divination by themselves.

Deuteronomy 18:10 "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,"

As born again believers, we are not to derive our knowledge of God from divination, even though we are not to be ignorant of Satan's devices. The words of the LORD in the 66 books of the Holy Bible must be the only way to God. There is no other way to know God except by the knowledge as preserved for us in the written word of God.

Thanks.

BTW, Ecclesiastes 7 where God teach us to count is the 666th chapter of the Holy Bible.

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

Then in Revelation 13:18 God calls it wisdom to count things, and that verse is where we find the number of the beast '666'.

Revelation 13:18 "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."

Thank you for adding this. Got me to thinking also of the Golden Ratio and how that (also numbers) shows up as a creation [theme(?)] in that everything seems to have that pattern - from fingers to flowers.
