Is Numerology Biblical?

Numerology is simply the study of the meanings of numbers. Psychics and all sorts of men have given meanings to the digits 1-9 and different inferences have been brought out of them.

The bible also alludes to the truth that numbers have meaning. The bible is filled with numbers and they are not just to fill the spaces in the bible as they have specific meanings. Dates, measurements and ages gave numbers a large space in both the old and the new testaments of the bible.

Many have argued that these are just specifications with no meaning. That would contradict what Jesus said in Matt 5:18, that one jot or one tittle in God's word shall not go unfulfilled.

A jot or tittle refers to a tiny part of a thing and numbers is definitely bigger than a jot or tittle in the bible. Paul, later on tells us that the entire scriptures is by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and this includes the numbers therein. The book of Revelation further seals it with a direct use of numbers to represent things. 666 is classic.

Numbers, just like every other thing, gets its meaning from the bible and not from any other form of knowledge. A careful study of the digits 1-9 in the bible reveals what they mean. You can do a study of it, but I will highlight the meaning of some numbers here:

1- God: No other! (Deut 6:4)

2- Witness: One other, Minimum number of witnesses (Deut 19:15), Abraham's covenant were witnessed by God and Abraham alone.

3- Unity/Trinity: Baptism of Jesus, 3 compartments in the Tabernacle of Moses, 3-fold things (Pro 22:20)

4- Balance: 4 faces of the creatures in Ezekiel 1, 4 Gospels in the bible, 4 creatures before the throne of God (Rev 4:6).

5- Grace: In Isaiah 9:6, Jesus has 5 names, David confronted Goliath with 5 stones, the 5th time Noah's name was mentioned in the bible, he found Grace! He gave gifts unto men- 5 fold ministry

6- Carnality/Man: Man was created on the 6th day, number of man (Rev 13:18)

7- Perfection: 7 days of creation/rest/sabbath, 70 weeks of Daniel, 7 colors of God's covenant with Noah in the Rainbow, the wall of Jericho came down on the 7th day, 7 days in a week, 7 bowls of wrath of God in Revelation, 7 spirits of God, 7 candles of the menorah.

8- New Beginning: Jesus rose on the 8th day, 8 people survived the flood of Noah, Jesus appeared 8 times after resurrection, 8 men wrote new testament, Jewish babies are circumcised on the 8th day.

9- Finality/Completeness: 9 fruits of the Spirit, 9 Gifts of the Spirit, 9 favoured widows in the entire bible, 9th hour is for prayers, Matt 27:45, Acts 3:1

Numerology is not psychic or fictional, it is biblical and it must be seen with the eyes of the Spirit and not any other way. God can speak to us through numbers like He did to many in the bible, but we must not stretch the meaning beyond the bible into things like zodiac month signs.

It is simply meant to aid our prophetic insight into the spirit. Numbers are not dead, only the Spirit makes them alive!

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in. T

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
