I remember reading somewhere that 888 equals the name of Jesus in Greek (i think) I'm sure someone else will know more about it.

Do you mean six-six-six??

[Mustang]

No, not 666. I heard something about the number 888 being a number God favors? I'm asking if there is any significance to this number in the bible.

[light4mypath]

I have never heard such a thing Mustang.

I would think it would be 7.
7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls, 7 churches, etc.

:iagree, I have never heard such a thing about 888---must be new age stuff

No, not in any translation of the Bible that I've ever read! No, I've always heard that 7 is the number of completion or perfection. How can you get any better than perfection??

I looked into it, I have seen this teaching by one man (name omitted) who claims the 888 is the number of the name of Jesus. He doesn't "give his credentials" or state clearly anywhere on his site just what exactly he DOES believe! (This makes me tend to think that what he does believe is subject to change.) The impression that I got on THAT subject is that he doesn't like to be asked questions about his beliefs and won't answer them directly. We are just to believe that he is "from the Father". He seems to dispute the claim that the Bible is the actual "Word of God" and says that those who believe it literally are wrong. He then proceeds to tell people HIS interpretation of the passages. Personally, I think that (at best) he is a flake and his "teachings" used to line the bird cage!

Its numerology, not scriptural

Thanks Buzz. I have heard of numerology, but never studied it--never felt the need.

[Cavendish]

I've always heard that His number was 888 as well, and that it IS based on numerology like here:

Some of that seems a stretch to me...

Thanks for the help everyone, at least I have an idea on what this number is based on.

Our fellow RR & RF sister shared this with me...

She told me via email... First Fruits/Passover/Unleavened Bread fall on the week of Sunday April 20-26th..
First Fruits is Monday April 21 on our secular calendar..
If it is the day America celebrates His resurrection, that's great... the sooner the better!!!

Jesus, she said--gave her a dream, among many last year... and it was "888" which means resurrection and it means Jesus also. 8 means new beginning...so she feels it (:rapture) may very well happen during this time above...
I do feel in my spirit He has given me this revelation as He is sooo anxious to come for us... He wants us anxious and :prayering for Him to come...

Pray to our Father that He will release Jesus to come and take us home ASAP... this year, hopefully, we will be entering our Promised Land, New Jerusalem, it's prepared and waiting for us...

[WhisperWisdom]

Hmm...interesting stuff, but it's still a stretch for me also.
