• It represents the straightness in the faith because it is the first number "in extension" (of two digits), just as hundred and thousand, explains Hugues of Saint-Victor.

10 = the top, the almighty of numbers, it also is symbolic for completion of a cycle.
the date 10/10/10 can be viewed as 10+10+10 which = 30
30 is (simply) 3+0 which = just plain 3
3 is a very "lucky" number. a very sacred number worshiped by all, including wiccians, the church, the government etc. For example "three is the magic number" "jesus rose after 3 days" "there are 3 forms of government (judical, executive,legislative)" yea so you get the idea.
10/10/10 is a once in FOREVER date, so whatever is put into the date (feelings, commitments, or anything else) will manifest or multiply in a TRI-fold. its not like making a wish on a day like today where it just goes out into the universe ONCE. On 10/10/10 it will be cast out into the universe THREE times. This is a very powerful date, make sure whatever happens is for the GOOD, and not just your good. Be super positive on this day, try not to send out anything negative that you do not want coming back to you in TRI-power.

My birth date is 9/13/68 which equates to my birth number as 10, all the sites I have visited show significance to the numbers 1-9 am I doing something wrong to calculate??
9+13+1968=1990

you need to add the individual numbers to get the total sum...
eg:
9/13/1968
9+1+3+1+9+6+8=37...3+7=10 1+0=1
In numerology you would be considered a 1 ...this is your life path number.

LIFE PATH NUMBERS

1. BEGINNINGS. The Life Path of a one [1] is one of looking for your place in the world. You like having time to yourself and work better in an environment where you are in control of what is around you. You are creative and have a lot of courage to see situations through until the end, as you don’t like to leave anything to chance. You have true survival skills that aid you when there is turmoil in your life. You are a great organizer and these skills come to the forefront in those times of turmoil. You are straightforward in your dealings and don’t like people who try “to pull the wool over your eyes” as you can see right through their schemes. Your spirit of adventure makes you a truly unique human being. Your life lesson at times can be around dealing with other people on a one to one basis, without taking control of all that you survey.

Finding Dimes

by Jeff - 12/19/09 4:32 AM

I have been finding dimes for the past several months. At first weekly, increasing to now daily. The last time this happened I had a major life changing event for the better 10 months after starting to find dimes. We will see what happens 6 months from now, but finding dimes is always a sign of major changes, for the better, coming ahead.

RE: Finding Dimes

by Anonymous - 1/10/10 6:40 AM

I don't normally think "everything means something", if you know what I mean. A couple of months ago I was washing my husbands work clothes...I found a dime. (Didn't thing anthing of it)
The next week I was washing clothes again & found another dime. (Still didn't think anything of it)
A few days later.....was washing his work clothes and found another dime.....this time it dawned on me that it was something that was kind of odd. I gave this one to him & said "everytime I wash your work clothes, I find a dime". He just said huh...like no big deal. I have since returned a dime to him 3 times.
A few nights ago I was making sure everybody had warm clothes for the next day. My husband mentioned he needed the "one" work shirt that he has here (all others are turned in to uniform shop). I washed what work jeans & socks along with the one shirt. I had towels and other things in the dryer.....when the alarm went off to take his clothes out of the washer to put in dryer, I went back to laundry room, flipped the light switch, & guess what.....there was a dime laying on the floor between the washer & dryer. This was the first time it dawned on me "The Year 2010"!

Like I said, I don't like trying to figure out everything, but after so many times (5-8), seems to me that someone is trying to tell me something. I prayed, "Lord if you are trying to show me something, you know I don't get it immediately some times".

Please help me pray for discernment.....as I know this has to be from Him!

By the way....tonight 1/10/10....found another dime as I was taking my husband's work clothes out of washer.

significance of number 10

by sekhmet - 10/30/09 10:57 AM

Everywhere I find dimes. The number 10. Everywhere I look. When walking down the street I will find dimes. In my shoe before I put it on. On the floor in the bathroom, in my bedsheets.....everywhere. I feel there is a message here and I am not aware of what it may be. Would appreciate any input you may be able to share with me.

I can share this experience with you. I had been praying for a way to show my nearly 90 yr. old father, that God does provide for me in unexpected ways. I began to find dimes in parking lots, just otuside my car door when I would drive my Father to the store, Dr, ect. I saved the dimes and told my friends that I am going to Jerusalem and am saving the dimes for that. They gave me a huge jar to save dimes in. One day I was walking through my living room and heard these words from a man on T.V. "If you ever wanted to go to Jerusalem, now is the time" The short version is, GOD PROVIDED THE FUNDS FOR ME to go to Jerusalem that same year for the 60th Anniversary of Israel becoming a nation, beginning with the dimes, and fulfilling a 35 year prayer of mine: "Next Year In Jerusalem". Dimes are indeed a new beginning.

I have been experiencing a lot of changes lately Loss my mother (6) mos. ago, ended a long term relationship that I hoped would end in marrigage. lost or seem to out grow a close friends.

Oh, my god

The most influencial people in my life, my grandmother and my father. My grandmother pasted away on 04/01/05=0+4+0+1+0+5=10 and my father pasted away on 01/10/08=0+1+1+0+0+8=10. I feel that it is very significant especially since the number 10 has always played a part in my families lives. I also feel that I too will die on a date that is the sum of 10.

dimes

by Alecia - 12/04/09 4:26 AM

I find dimes everywhere too in random places. This has been going on now for about 4 months. I have many stories about the strange places where I have found them, but the strangest would have to be when my fiance came home one day after school with 2 dimes that he found on the hood of his car in a parking lot. We recently found out that one of his friends happened to walk by and just felt like putting them there (he didn't know about how I had been finding them). But he came home and showed me them, then I stood up from my bed and another one dropped to the floor. Today I was shopping in Kroger with my fiance and I decided to put a dime on a table for someone to find. A few hours ago we went back to Kroger and I found one in front of the doors. I would really like to know exactly what it means, but I'm pretty sure it's God's reassurance that he still loves me.

On 10: Marriage as Consequence?

by T.D. Blevins - 4/07/09 12:16 PM

I read in your explanation on symbolism of the number "10." According to your information, marriage was a consequence of the fall of man. I wanted to give some insight to that. Marriage was a gift to Adam from God because he was lonely and had no one capatible for him to interact with. Adam and Eve were married before the "fall." Genesis 2:21-24

2010 is the year I plan to marry my first love whom I met at the age of 11 and dated for three years. After 18 years, we have reconnected. What's even more interesting is his birthday is 10/12 and he is 3 years older than I am. All of our numbers point to something dynamic, which is almost unbelievable.
