Properties of the number 13

Symbolism

• Number that cleans and purifies.

• The number 13 brings the test, the suffering and the death. It symbolizes the death to the matter or to oneself and the birth to the spirit: the passage on a higher level of existence.

• For the superstitious, this number brings the bad luck or the misfortune.

• For the cabalist, the number 13 is the meaning of the Snake, the dragon, Satan and the murderer. But it is also for Christians the representative number of the Virgin Mary, she whose mission is to crush the head of Satan.

• Number in relation with the cross and also to the family, since by reduction we obtain four: 1 + 3 = 4.

• It is the element of too, that which makes pass from a cycle to another with what this change implies of anxieties by the arrival of a new unknown cycle.

• Represents the eternal love illustrated by Jacob and his twelve son, Jesus-Christ and his twelve apostles.

• If we consider 13 as a wheel to 12 rays, that is to say as 12 units around a center, it is beneficial. If we take it as prime number, it is maleficent. It is especially maleficent when we are at table and when one believes in his power. But, as observed judiciously Grimod: "The number 13 is to be feared only insofar as there would be to eat only for twelve."

• If we represent 12 under the form of the Zodiac, 13=12+1 is the number of the eternal return. The 13th hour is also the first, just like the 25th or the 37th.

• According to R. Allendy, this number "represents a principle of activity 3 exerting in the Unit of a whole 10 which contains it and which makes it produce only one cycle of perpetually identical renewal (1 + 3 = 4). Or it is the mechanism of its organization which submits the Universe to a permanent mode of oscillations and which leads it to specialize in nature."

• The image of the creature kneeling ahead the Throne of God, the Holy Trinity Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is symbolized by the number 13: the 1 ahead 3.

• It is "the manifestation of the good or bad generating power", according to R. Schwaller.

• Number representing the Son of God, according to Abellio.

• The thirteenth mystery of the Tarot does not have a name. It marks the uncertainty, the hesitation, the fickleness or again a transformation, the end of something (the death) and a renewal, a rupture, that is to say a very important change.

Bible

• The thirteen guests at the Last supper of the Christ.

• To chapter thirteen of the Gospel of Saint John, during of its Last supper with his disciples, Jesus declares that one of then will betray him. And after the announcement of the treason of Judas, Jesus prophesies the Peter's denial.

• The thirteenth chapter of the Revelation is reserved to the Antichrist and to the Beast.

• In 13th psalm, it is written: "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God".

• The mystery of the Seven Churches of the Revelation presents the winner of 13 rewards on the whole.

• The thirteen sons of David which were born when he was to Jerusalem. (1 Ch 3,5-9)

• It is the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, named Adar, that the people celebrated the victory of Judas Maccabaeus on the army of Nicanor to Adasa. (1 M 7,43-49)

• A decree of Jew extermination was decided by Haman during of a convocation addressed to scribes the thirteenth day of the first month. (Est 3,12)

General

• The apostle James says the Minor directed the Church of Jerusalem during thirteen years.

• The thirteen ecclesiastical titles of the sacerdotal hierarchy of the Roman Church.

• The father of Job had thirteen children, according to visions' of Ann-Catherine Emmerick

.

• The celebration of the Epiphany takes place the thirteenth day after the nativity of the Lord. The number 13 is called theophanicus for this reason.

• We find often the number thirteen associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her Assumption occurred a Friday 13, in August, at 3 o'clock of the evening, according to visions of Mary Agreda. However, according to revelations of Mary Jane Even in 1994, the Virgin would have died on August 13 and would have resuscitated two days later, that is to say on August 15 to be then received Body and Soul in the Sky. Also, the first and the last appearance of the Virgin Mary in Fatima occurred respectively on May 13 and on October 13, 1917 and it is on July 13, 1917 that the children of Fatima had their vision of the Hell, showing thus that the thirteen is also closely in relation to the suffering and to the death. Still today, in the end of time, the Virgin appears to some seers and clairvoyant only the 13 of each month. The 13th day of the month in the Christendom would be thus particularly dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Moreover several received particular messages tend to show it as it is the case of following messages. In one of messages given to a privileged soul of Quebec, Our-Lord recommended that the 13 of each month is in the honor of his Mother and established in each family. In another message given by the Virgin Mary to Sister Lucy of Fatima the 1st May 1987 for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the day when she appeared her to Fatima on May 13, 1917, She asked her to celebrate the 13 of each month by songs and the praises in spirit of repair and of expiation. Remind also that it is on May 13, 1981 that occurred the attack of the Pope John-Paul II, in the Saint-Peter place. What saved him from the death, it is that he turned the head to look an engraving of Our-Lady of Fatima at the same moment where the ball of the gunner passed. The France, devoted to Mary since Louis XIII, celebrated her by processions.

• According to visions of Maria Valtorta, during the descent of the Holy Spirit on apostles in prayer in the upper room (Cenacle), the Fire of the Holy Spirit, then in form of sphere very shining above the head of Mary, was shared in 13 very shining melodious flames to go down on the 12 apostles and the Virgin Mary.

• The value of the letter M of Mary, center of the Latin alphabet, is 13. Likewise 13 words compose the invocation to the Virgin on the Miraculous Medal: O Mary, conceive without sin, pray for we who have recourse to you.

• For believer, Friday 13 (of the month of nisan) is the day where the Christ is dead on the Cross; it is also a Friday 13, day placed under the sign of Venus, that Eve, tempted by the demon, made eat an apple to Adam, what entailed their expulsion of the terrestrial Paradise. God being indeed rested the seventh day of the Creation, first Saturday (Sabbath of the Jews) was this day. The next week there had therefore a Friday 13, day of the original sin, since they was redeemed an other Friday 13, that the death of the Christ. Particularly the Jewish Passover was the 14 of the month of nisan, and the Crucifixion took place the day before the Sabbath of Passover, therefore a Friday 13.

• In the visions of Maria Valtorta, Jesus speaks about the thirteen veins of the humanity by which are distributed the divine graces, first by Himself, and then by His 12 apostles, choose by Him to represent the whole humanity and in which all the humanity is gathered in His 12 apostles.

• Some authors tell that Jesus would be born in a year counting thirteen months. When Hebrews celebrated their first Passover, they abandoned the solar Egyptian calendar and adopted the lunar calendar. Thus, to maintain the correspondence between the month of Pescha and the beginning of the spring, they had to introduce all the three years approximately a thirteenth month into the year.

• On the Miraculous Medal, the M of Mary surmounts the Holy Cross of Christ, this one being associated to the number 13. And the letter M is also 13th letter of the alphabet.

• The 13th glorious mystery of the Saint Rosary refers directly to Pentecost.

• According to the Rule in the Order of the Saint Saviour, given by the Christ to saint Brigitte of Sweden (who lived from 1303 to 1373), in the monastery, thirteen priests have to sing daily the mass and the office of the ecclesiastical year.

• The Jewish Faith states thirteen articles that are called fundamental dogmas of the Judaism. They were formulated by Maimonid.

• The Witnesses of Jehovah have 13 fundamental doctrines, without speaking their internal rules.

  1. The bible is the inspired word of Jehovah
  2. Jehovah is the only true God
  3. Jesus-Christ is the fathered unique son of God
  4. Satan is the "chief of this world"
  5. The Kingdom of Jehovah and the Christ will replace all human governments and will be the only government of all the humanity

• For the superstitious ones, Fridays 13 are real nightmares: if that day there are 13 guests to the table, that precedes a death in the year (to be 13 to table would carry misfortune); to see a black cat Friday 13 carries misfortune; it is preferable not to exit that day, but in the opposite case, if one leaves by a door, it is always necessary to enter by the same door. The superstition of Friday 13 was also revivified in this era of the computer by some viruses introduced into the computer systems appearing only the day of Fridays 13. The fortune teller on the other hand predicts better the future on Friday 13. In France, as soon as there is a Friday 13 to the calendar, the National Lottery organizes a special drawing because some choose that day to bet the money. But for some, less credulous and more prone to the optimism, the number 13 is a lucky number on which they hope to make a success of what they do or to try their chance. For example, one of these succeeds to convince the British navy to dissipate fears of superstitious sailors who refused to go up a ship a Friday 13. It was indeed decided that they would proceed to the launching of a new ship on a Friday 13. This ship was baptized the H.M.S. Friday. It was controlled by the Friday Captain and took finally the sea a Friday 13. They never see again the ship and the crew.

The following words have all a numerical value (gematria in "N") whose common factor is 13: Moses, 351 = 27 x 13; Joseph, 156 = 12 x 13; Isaac, 208 = 16 x 13; Abraham, 104 = 8 x 13; Torah, 611 = 47 x 13; Jacob, 182 = 14 x 13; Israel, 546 = 42 x 13; Sinai, 130 = 10 x 13; month, 312 = 12 x 26 = 12 x 2 x 13; the divinity written in Hebrew, aleph, he, beth, he, 1+5+2+5 = 13.

In the Ostervald Bible, the Old and the New Testament count 1040 chapters for the whole of 66 books. And 1040 = 80x13. More, always in Ostervald Bible, the Old Testament counts 780 chapters for the whole of 39 books. And 780 = 60 x 13.

• The number 13 would be in a certain manner in correlation with our Earth planet which is called in Hebrew Eretz and that is written aleph, resh and tzade. The letter tzade put at the end of a word has not 90 but 900 as value. The numeral value gives therefore 1+200+900=1101.

I have also been seeing number 13 in the clock, checkout lane, dates, etc. Over few years, I have noticed after I start seeing the number, something bad happens or the wrong outcome of some sort. I have been trying to figure out why this is happening. I usually know to brace myself for the worse. lol There are 13 letters in my name and born on the 6th. Its helpful to know I am not the only one with this issue.

I can only hope this is LUCKY because otherwise we are falling into a trap of insecurity! How often do you see a vehicle resembling yours? I think we keep seeing the number because it stands out and we associate with it...(birthdays, deaths, weddings, accidents etc...)

born on the thirteenth 1956

by mitchel - 8/19/10 2:11 AM

I was born on the thirteenth hundred hour military time on the thirteenth day of may 1956, being named mitchel, in which the letter (m) is the thirteenth letter in the alphabet. I have been told that I have a gift which was given me the day I was born. I now am 54 years of age and still waiting for something spectactule to happen. Personnally I believe the number thirteen has no more significance then any other number. It only counts if you are superstitious.

Sounds as your gift was misunderstood. It was given to you at birth, not will be given. Based on your birthdate, your gifted at being a natural councillor, good communicator, Hard worker, challenge those you might think are lying, seek knowledge and materialistic.

13 follows me too!

by Helen - 10/20/11 4:03 PM

Wow-I have exactly the same thing with the number 13 following me too. Time I wake up/look at the clock/receive a text message/seat numbers. I remember first noticing it at about 12 years old (I'm 26 now) . It comes and goes but am in a phase now where I've been consistently seeing the number for a few months. I've found it difficult to find information on numbers 'following' people, only information on the number itself (like above). It is nice to know I am in company though...It does seem that the frequency is increased when a change is about to happen but then again, aren't changes always happening...? Would love to find out more about it's significance.

The number 13

by Leeshe - 9/15/09 9:05 AM

Over the past year I have been getting the number 13 alot. Today was the final straw when I went to open my email and I had 13 messages. I've had all types of situations happen where 13 keeps coming up so I'm wondering what does it mean? Sometimes it makes me fearful and other times I think to myself maybe God is trying to tell me something or warn me.

I have experienced both. I have also experienced 26 (the double whammy) and the 265 (the collective 13).
13 is testing your clarity (you versus your goal)
2x13 (26) is testing your self esteem (you versus one and your goeal)
sum=13 is testing your belief (you versus your goal and others)

Power, Trial, & Change

by Abel - 10/12/10 12:20 PM

I recently wrote an album with my band containing 13 tracks, with one hidden track (14). before we wrote it, i had it upon me to make the album 13 tracks, with a 14th hidden track, long before we had any material. as it turns out, the album and the number hold a common theme: the birth of power, and the concepts of trial and change. the number 14, as an addition to all of this, is both symbolic of generosity (a hidden track, just for the hell of it, being a generous addition), and a symbol of the return to reality and the physical plane, much as should happen in the album considering the story is a psychological process in the main character's head as he undergoes an emotional and psychological trial that leads to his maturity.

just thought it interesting and thought i'd share, because it really bugged me why 13 was so damn important to this cd.

Dear Abel,

from all the messages here, yours rigs the closest.
Thirteen for me was equivalent to challenge, challenging existing 'power', confusion, repeating the same process many times, self doubt, creative agony, extreme emotional pain.
Encounters:
1. When I picked my profession. 13 = go back and reconsider decision.
2. second time i picked my profession. 31 = success and satisfaction.
3. years later I was following a dream of further learning for a PhD. 26= double hardship. Abandoned the quest eventually. After 4 years I am still grieving.
4. My current employer.... Street address 265= collective 13. Four years of mega negative rewards.

I have been thinking a lot about 13, 26, 265, and 31. I have conquered the 13. I failed the 26 because I did not give myself the power of going back and ask for my right of continuing my dream. I was feeling too hurt, powerless, and downright worthless. That was me when I got involved with the collective 13 which attacked my professional belief and... more...

If you're seeing number 13 all the time it means that you should consider becoming a monk ...

I've always been fascinated with the number thirteen. This comes from the fact that I was born on friday the 13th of September. I weighed 7lbs 13oz and was born in room 113
