Numbers in Scripture are a huge part of Biblical research. The number 13 in scripture was first used in Genesis 14:4 here we read "Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer and the thirteenth year they REBELLED.

Hence every occurrence of the number thirteen and likewise of every multiple of it stamps that with which it stands in connection with rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution or some kindred idea.

The second usage of 13 was in connection to Ishmael in Genesis 17:25. Abraham circumcised him at the age of 13 admitting him into the covenant to which he was a stranger in heart and which ended in his rebellion and rejection.

When we get the the Gematria numbers in names, all descendants of Adam and Seth are divisible by 8 (Hebrew letters) and in the line of descendants of Adam/Cain are all divisible by 13. We also have the 113th congress and astronomically a amazing phenomenon has put the earths/sun solar system beginning 12-21-2012 into its 13th orbit around Sirius since the dawn of time.

Irrelevant to the number 13 -- it is not [evenly] divisible by 13, as your line of reasoning would indicate it must be.

and astronomically a amazing phenomenon has put the earths/sun solar system beginning 12-21-2012 into its 13th orbit around Sirius since the dawn of time.

While astronomically interesting, what's the point of your saying so? Or do you mean to use astrology in interpretation of the bible?
