      (For instance, the numerical value of your name number, 21, is three.) Only if your name number is 11 or 22 will there be an exception. However, the most common use of gematria is to obtain a more spiritual understanding of a religious text. The exact meaning drawn from gematria depends on a person’s individual beliefs. An ancient version of gematria was a fully developed mathematical system that used words to reveal sums that they intended future readers to discover. The pseudoscientific practice of numerology holds that a certain number has a mystical or divine connection to one or more related events. The value of the characters in words, names, and concepts is another aspect of this field of research. It is frequently linked to the supernatural, along with astrology, and is comparable to divinatory practices. If your name is 20 letters long, you will be multiplying 20 separate numbers. BATMAN, for instance, is represented by the numerals 2+1+2+4+1+5, or 15. It is a good sign that you are on the correct path from the angels. You are encircled by love and support if you continue to see this number. Throughout history, some people have believed that the Torah contains secrets that can be revealed by gematria and used to predict historical events. This belief continues to this day, and was popularized by Michael Drasin’s best-selling (and much criticized) The Bible Code, published in 1997. Some Hasidic communities that are steeped in the study of kabbalistic literature believe that the Torah, as read through the lens of gematria, contains clues to current events. The term “gematria” comes from the Greek “geometria,” and the concept can be found in the writings of the Greek philosopher Plato. In rabbinic literature it first appears in the Baraita of the Thirty-two Rules, by Rabbi Eliezer in 200 CE. This text, which no longer exists except in references, elaborated 32 rules for interpreting the Bible. Since the death of Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), a number of people have proposed numerical ciphers for the purposes of English numerology with The Book of the Law. Here is more regarding gematria decoder check out our own web site. The English Qaballa discovered by English magician James Lees in 1976 is the topic of a number of books by Cath Thompson.[49][50] There are also other, less popular, forms of English Qabalah. The 8-hour day is frequently represented by the number 888 in the global labor movement.
