There are some people who believe that numerology is a New Age science and therefore should be viewed with suspicion, even unsettling concern. Really? Actually, and quite truthfully, this is an erroneous belief totally unfounded in logic, reason and facts. To tell the truth, numerology is as old as time itself, as old as creation itself, much older than man or any living being. When we take a simple, clear and unbiased look at the reality of numerology, its truth is beyond question.
Numerology is the science of numbers in their relationship to life. Numbers are the most universal language of all. Numbers existed before man, before life. The numbers are simply labels for energy. They are, frankly, one of the purest forms of communication that God uses to connect with man.
The first pure mathematician was Pythagoras, who lived approximately 500 years before Christ. He stated, Numbers rule the universe. Everything is ordered according to number and mathematical form. It was this remarkable mathematician who first noticed the relationship between numbers and life. In fact, Pythagoras is considered to be the first numerologist. 2500 years ago is a long time. So how can numerology be a “New Age” invention?
The great scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, said: God created everything by number, weight and measure… It is the perfection of God’s works that all be done with the greatest simplicity. He is the God of order and not of confusion. These esteemed scientists understood the reality of numbers as the cornerstone of the foundation of the universe. Therefore, numbers existed before man, before life.
Think of the Periodic Table of Elements, each of which is associated with letters and numbers. For example, gold has a letter symbol “Au” and an atomic number of 79. Silver has a letter symbol “Ag” and an atomic number of 74. Oxygen’s symbol is “O” and its atomic number is 8. So it is with all the elements, each one is identified by letter and number.
Also, consider sound, light, and electricity. They can all be measured using numbers. In fact, what is there that cannot be reduced to numbers? When someone claims that numerology is “New Age”, it may be because the reality of numbers is new to them, but obviously numbers… and their relationship to life itself… are not new.
christians and numerology
There is a belief among some Christians that numerology is demonic, and because it is “New Age” it should be avoided. How can this be? Despite the reality of science and numbers, Christians use the number 666 to define the “Mark of the Beast.” Defining a person by numbers while denouncing numerology is like worshiping the sun and not only believing it doesn’t exist but labeling it demonic.
In fact, all Christians have to do to prove that numerology is a divine system of communication is to look to the Bible itself, which is the richest numerological work on the planet. Indeed, the first line of the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis, says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The number 1 in numerology is the figure that represents new beginnings, new beginnings, creation… genesis. It is no wonder that the first line of the first chapter of the Bible declares creation.
As one continues to read the Bible, the reality of numbers is so apparent that anyone, especially a Christian, cannot deny the reality of numbers without denying the Christian faith and even the Bible itself. The numbers 3, 4, and 7 are so prevalent in the Bible that they cannot be overlooked, nor can the way they are used be overlooked. To deny numerology, much less to deny, discredit, or downgrade it, is to deny the divinity of life itself, the Bible itself, and more specifically, to deny God himself.
Summary
The truth of numerology is that it is not a “New Age” but an “Old Age”, as old as creation itself. Numerology is the divine science of numbers and their relationship to life and destiny. It is not to be feared. It is to hug. Through numerology, God gives us the ability and privilege to know our lives and destinies so that we are not ignorant, and by losing our ignorance we can advance and win spiritually towards our final freedom and liberation of the soul. Numerology is a great gift to humanity. There is no doubt about that. But if one wants to believe that numerology is “New Age” and to be avoided or discarded, then one will live the life of those who once ignorantly clung to the illusion that the world was actually flat when, in fact, it had been scientifically flat. proved to be round by direct perception.
