I didn't know that superstitions like numerology were wisdom. It must be as good a system of knowledge as reading tea leaves.
It’s also a matter of faith and belief...Revelation said to “calculate the number of the beast” if one had wisdom, not to live ones whole life doing so or to go thru life trying to figure out via math when Christ was going to come back and whip up a whole bunch of folks into a frenzy in doing so. For me, I’ll believe in the Resurrection of Christ but the only thing I’ll calculate is my checkbook or the amount of time I have left before I go back to work again!
Now if you don’t believe the Bible or if you do but not necessarily a lot of the “end times stuff’, then obviously you’ll have a certain point of view regarding the “beast number as it were”. My belief is that only God knows the times and seasons; we are only given a few clues as to when Christ is about to reinvolve himself into our world setting again. We are to simply “occupy ourselves until he comes” with the mandates he left us.
