oops

I have No odd numbers at all.

Other then I was born a 2:22.

Means nothing to me*

Neither does 333 or 1111.

Thank you Sparrow.

Thank You Sparrow.....
The dreams I'm having seem to be increasing. Last night I was all over the place. Even was back in Oklahoma trying to find my way home. Strange, I haven't lived there in years. I also drove a school bus last night.
I fell asleep on the couch last night, woke at 3:33 and stumbled off to bed, so all the dreams were in a short amount of time.

You're welcome! Were you actually a school bus driver in the past and just remembering like Oklahoma?

The first thing that came to my mind when I read that was: good analogy! What does a school bus driver do but guard and protect the children on their journey home so that they do not become lost on the way.

Never have driven a bus before. Drove trucks in Oklahoma in the oil fields.

A true >Rough Neck*

Gotta love them Big Trucks.

Finally found the threes - hooray!!!!!!!!...I KNEW it had something to do with God I just couldn't see the forest for the trees - duh! :] I have been praying and practicing my listening (meditating) and when I ask what the 3:33 means I keep hearing "called". I am afraid of the new age stuff because God says Satan is so sneaky so I am trying to be careful and am a skeptic about everything so this made me feels so, so , so much better! The article is long, I will just copy a bit....

The Rhythm of the Number Three By Douglas Stringham

There is rhythm to the number three. It is a rhythm with universal appeal. Although it is a simple rhythm, it makes music come alive.

Though hardly explainable, the rhythm of the number three governs the events of our lives. The ubiquity of the number three suggests an importance of significant proportions, but what might that importance be? What is the meaning of the number three? What does it symbolize? Solving these questions is best accomplished with an appeal to the Bible. The rhythm of three appears repeatedly in scripture. Perhaps most importantly to Judaism, the number three is reverenced for the three patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These are the three of the covenant. They preside over the Hebrew nation. Certainly God did not choose the number of patriarchs at random. It was Albert Einstein who said that God does not play dice. We can safely assume that when God establishes patterns on earth He is simply following an ancient pattern, an unchangeable pattern, even the everlasting pattern of heaven.

The pattern of a presidency of three is most obvious at pivotal periods in the history of the world. In addition to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we see this pattern with Noah, Moses, and the first three kings of Israel. It was through Noah that all humanity was reborn. He had three sons; Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Genesis 6:10) It was through Moses that the children of Israel escaped the bondage of Pharaoh. While they wandered in the wilderness for forty years they were presided by three; Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. (Micah 6:4) And the first three, in fact only kings of all Twelve Tribes of Israel were Saul, David, and Solomon.

Jewish tradition adds further evidence to the importance of the number three with the very letters of its alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet has twenty-two letters. Seven of these letters bear a three-pointed crownlet. Each of the letters in Hebrew carries meaning. The shapes of the letters are symbolic of eternal truths. However, the meaning of the three-pointed crownlet is not known. But its importance is witnessed by the presence of this crownlet on exactly seven letters. According to tradition when God told Moses the meaning of the letters, He did not reveal to Moses the meaning of the crownlet but He did tell Moses that, once learned, the meaning of the three-pointed crownlet would teach man about God.

Genesis chapter eighteen may hold some clues to the meaning of this three-pointed crownlet. This chapter tells a very interesting story about the number three. Although the story receives relatively little attention, it is rather revealing. The story is most significant in that it relates one of the few recorded face-to-face encounters of man with God. In this encounter, the LORD appears to Abraham in a company of three. Abraham then instructs Sarah to make for his guests three cakes. It is during this occasion that the LORD tells Abraham that Sarah though barren will bear a son who would be the son of the covenant. The promises of the covenant and its perpetuation were of utmost importance. So important was the message that the LORD Himself presented the message in a company of three, even a presidency of three.

But the lesson of others in God's presidency appeared long before Abraham and long before Noah. In the very first chapter of Genesis we read of the plurality of the Creators: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness . . . So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:26-27)

But even more clearly we learn through Christianity that the very Godhead itself is a Godhead of three. There are "three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word [who is Jesus Christ], and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7-8) Again, not one in substance or person, but one in glory, one in purpose, one in love. In fact, one in all spiritual attributes. Throughout scripture, each member of the Godhead testifies of the other two. Thus it is that the Godhead of three also fulfills the law of witnesses. Remember that it is out of the mouth of two or three witnesses that every matter will be established. (Deuteronomy 19:15). And remember that Christ commanded His apostles to go forth into all the world baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

As not to be confused with the important principle of the oneness of God, it must be emphatically clear that although there are three in the Godhead, the Godhead is one. Although separate in person they are one in mind, one in heart, one in purpose, and one in all spiritual attributes. The Godhead is one God. So unified is the oneness of God that the human mind falters in its attempts to comprehend it.

Following Judaism, Christianity continued the tradition of a presiding body of three. When Christ established God's kingdom on earth He established that kingdom with a presidency of three. The names of these three were Peter, James, and John. They were the presiding apostles. Remember Christ prayed to the Father, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) The obvious conclusion is that if Christ established a presidency of three on earth, there must also be a presidency of three in heaven.

Now to see more of the pattern to the number three let us put together a few more pieces of the puzzle. Let's look at the third day of creation, the Ten Commandments, and the Ten Plagues of Moses. On the third day of Creation God created the sun and the moon. (Genesis 1:13-18) The sun is symbolic of God and the moon is symbolic of the prophets of God who reflect the light of God and thus bear witness of Him. Again the number three is a message about God.

The third commandment reads, "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." (Exodus 20:7) Now this commandment does not merely refer to profanity. It is when we choose to follow God and take His name upon ourselves that we become accountable for that name. We take his name in vain when we fail to live up to our covenant obligations.

The third Plague of Moses was the plague of lice. What a peculiar plague we might think. But this plague also fits the pattern to the number three. Human lice are small wingless insects that attach themselves to hair follicles and feed by sucking blood. They are most commonly associated with unsanitary conditions. The major concern for this human parasite is that it serves as a host for the transmission of pathogens that cause typhus, relapsing fever, or trench fever. Since lice are associated with uncleanliness, the implication of the plague of lice is that we are unclean when we break the third commandment and take the name of the Lord in vain. Remember God will not hold guiltless those who take His name in vain, and "no unclean thing can enter the kingdom of heaven." (Alma 11:37)

So the number three teaches us about God. It is the rhythm that testifies of God. All of its recurrences are intended to remind us of Him. The number three which recurs so often should always point us to Him. Indeed, Christ has said, "And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me." (Moses 6:63)

As frequent as the recurrences of the number three are in scripture, none is more frequent nor more persuasive than the recurrences of the number three in the life of Jesus. The story of Jesus is a story of threes. No other story in all of history bears the rhythm and echo of the number three as does His story. The number three testifies that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, the promised Messiah, and the Only Begotten of the Father.

God has said, "by the words of three, I will establish my word" (2 Nephi 11:3). Now the Word of God is Jesus Christ. Remember ,"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God" (John 1:1-2). Since Christ is the Word of God and since God said He will establish all of His words by the words of three, it follows that Christ will be established by the words of three. And indeed, the story of Jesus is a story of threes. Here is at least part of that story:

Here's what I found for 333 >

Properties of the number 333

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbolism
The first divine man.

In one of messages of the Virgin Mary given to Don Stefano Gobbi, of the Marian Movement of Priests, we can read: "333 indicated once, that is to say, for the first time, expresses the mystery of the unity of God. 333 indicated twice, that is to say, for the second time, indicates the two natures, that of the divine and the human, united in the divine Person of Jesus Christ, 333 indicated thrice, that is to say, for the third time, indicates the mystery of the Three Divine Persons, that is to say, it expresses the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Thus the number, 333, expressed one, two and three times, expresses the principal mysteries of the Catholic faith which are: (1) The Unity and the Trinity of God, (2) the incarnation, the passion and death, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ."

General
The length of the nave of the cathedral of Saint Etienne of Bourges in France, is 333 feet. The total length of measurement on the ground being 399 feet and its internal width of 133 feet.

The mass of the Sun is around 333 thousand times that the Earth.

Gematria
In symbolism, the addition of a unit to a devoted number (example 8, number of the infinity, 7+1, 7 representing of what is cyclic) means the superabundant plenitude, or the exceptional properties of the added number. On the other hand, the subtraction of a unit from a totality is often a cause of misfortune or a sinister portent: 6 = 7-1, where 6 recall the number of the beast in the Revelation, 666. There are reasons to believe that the subtraction means what is truncated, what lacks a quantity, of a note, one essential duration to have its normal plenitude, to reach its goal, to succeed. Thus the name of Caesar in Greek, being 332 (kaisar = 20+1+10+200+1+100 = 332) is lower by a unit than the number representing the divinity. Some had been popular beliefs of the period of the Roman Empire, the "Caesar" have never been divine as it was claimed. They were even associates later to the number 666 of the Revelation of John.

Occurrence
The sum of all different numbers used in a Protestant Bible version gives as value 333 without counting the number one.

The sum of the occurrences of all numbers in the Bible multiple of 80 gives 333 by counting "ten thousand times ten thousand" (Dn 7,10) as being an additional number equal to 100000000. And the sum of occurrences of all numbers of the Bible higher than 7000 gives also 333.

The sea word is employed 333 time in the Old Testament.

In the Koran, the sum of the occurrences of all numbers, equal or higher than 2 and written the cardinal form, gives 275. And we add there also the numbers written in their ordinal form and the other types of notation such that third, second, double, triple and tenfold, then the final result is 333.

What does 666 mean >

Bible Question: What does 666 mean in the Bible?

Bible Answer: The Bible predicts that the next major event in God's plan for this earth is a period of time called the Tribulation. We are now waiting for it to come.



The Tribulation. The Tribulation will start with a period of peace (1 Thess. 5:1-3; Rev. 6:1-2) and after 3.5 years, war and violence will come. War comes when a great national leader takes control of a world alliance such as the United Nations (UN). He will oppose everyone, including God. He will also have support from a man who will encourage the world to follow him. The Bible calls these men the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet (Rev. 19:20; 20:10). Many have suggested that the Anti-Christ will receive support from most of the world because of a real or imagined crisis. Therefore, the False Prophet will be able to insist that some type of mark be placed on the back of a person's hand or forehead for security or economic reasons.
" 666. " Who is this False prophet and what is the mark? Revelation 13:18 gives us the answer to both. It says that the number "666" is a clue to his identity and can also be the mark that a person will receive. The mark can be either the number "666" or the name of the False Prophet.

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead, so that no-one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666. (NIV) Rev. 13:16-18

What does 999 mean >

Properties of the number 999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbolism
The justice, the truth.

In some texts sacred or esoteric, 999 represents the infinitely large, just as 999999.

General
By undertaking circular permutations of the numbers composing the mysterious number 153, this gives place to six possible combinations: 153, 315, 531 and 351, 135, 513. And:

153 + 315 + 531 = 999
351 + 135 + 513 = 999

The number 999 is the reverse of 666, the number of the Beast of the Revelation (Apocalypse). This arithmetical strangeness demonstrates that the "power" of the Beast, 666, will be "reversed" by 153, characteristic number of the Christ, to give as result 999, symbol of the application of the divine justice. Thus Satan will be chained for 1000 years, 999 + 1.

The number 666 to the power 5 gives 131,030,122,140,576. And 131+030+122+140+576 = 999.

Gematria
By using as correspondence table A=1, B=2, ..., J=10, K=20, L=30, ..., S=100, T=200, ..., Z=800, we find that the French words "COMMUNAUTE" (community) and "Marie de l'Incarnation" ("Mary the Incarnation") give each 999.

The numerical value of the Hebrew word ShKBTh ZRGh, meaning sperm or seed, gives 999.

Mind blowing 4 sure*

]a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers (John 10:5).

Hi Sparrow,
It depends on how you define religious. I do believe in God and the heavens and hell, but I haven't been to church since I was a kid. I was turned off to that when missing a service one sunday, just to be chewed out by the pastor the next sunday for missing the previous week. This rubbed me the wrong way and I never went back. I can read the Bible at home and have my connection with God at home. I don't need to be beaten down for missing a service when I was sick.
I have no desire to search the internet about 11:11, doesn't even come to mind.
I am a Virgo and tend to organize for the present and the future. I'm trying to get the other sheep to follow my lead,(as in my family) but they all think I'm nuts.(for the lack of a better term)
My wife keeps telling me to stay off this site and quit reading this stuff and quit listening to Cliff High radio shows. She thinks he's just another con selling his fortunes on a web site for ten bucks. It's my own money and I am of my own mind and I'll do as I please.
I am preparing for problems down the road for all of my family when they come around asking what's going on. I'm preparing food and shelter for all of them. It's just in my nature to do this and I feel it's my duty to do so.
When God tells me it's time to go, I'll will follow him. No if's, ands or buts.

Something I'd like to share with you is last year on the fourth of July I received a call at work from my mother that my Grandmother was dying and she wouldn't last the day. I was crushed as this was the only Grandmother I knew, being my other passed when I was two. I couldn't get away from work because no one was around to releive me. I was the control room operator of a million square foot wafer fab and couldn't just walk away. I was frantic to leave and contacted my boss to help me get out of there. After a couple of hours a graveyard guy showed up and I dashed out of there. I had to drive about fifty miles to get to the hospital where she was. I raced in there only to walk into the nurse's station and be greeted by the head nurse telling me "she's been waiting for you". How did the head nurse know who I was? I asked "where's all the family?" No one was there but me and she had three children and many greatgrandchildren. Why was I the only one to be there to escort her out of this world? I gowned up and went to her asap. I held her hand for about forty minutes and talked to her even though she was out of it because of drugs. I told her I loved her and she died. I saw her take her last breath. I stayed and prayed for about ten more minutes.
What I wonder is, why was I the chosen one to be there? My mother told me she and her siblings had said goodbye hours before????? This confused me as I would never leave a parents side at that time.
I still feel she is watching over me every day and I miss her dearly.
God put me there with her so she wouldn't be alone, I know that now. I am very thankfull that he did that for me and her.
Lord knows I can't wait to see her again.
