Biblical Numerology
Read the numbers in the Bible
Biblical numerology is the study of individual numbers in Scripture. It relates particularly to the biblical meaning of numbers, both literal and symbolic.
Conservative scholars remain cautious about assigning too much importance to the meaning of numbers in the Bible. Such attribution has led some groups to mystical and theological extremes, believing numbers can reveal the future or uncover hidden information. These groups delve into the dangerous realm of divination.
