Properties of the number 14

Symbolism

• For R. Allendy, "it is the ratio of the cyclic law 4 with the cosmic unit 10 having for result to maintain the life - 1 + 4 = 5 - and serving as a node to the double current of evolution and involution - 7 x 2 = 14". It would represent also the nature working out the life.

• Represent "the Holy Spirit being spread in the freedom and in the nature, although the nature does not know it", according to Jacob Boehme.

• This number "represents the figure of the Christ immolated the fourteenth day of the moon, and at similar day the children of Israel had command to celebrate the Passover, that is to say the passage of the Red Sea", according to C. Agrippa.

• Regarded as the number of David according to the Bible. The evangelist Matthew would have organized the genealogy of Jesus on this basis.

• It is the number of the good and the charity.

Bible

• The fourteen generations of Abraham to David, just as of David to the deportation of Babylon, and the deportation of Babylon to the Christ. (Mt 1,1-17)

• The fourteen epistles written by saint Paul, having on the whole 100 chapters and adding up 2335 verses.

• The weddings of Tobit and Sara last fourteen days. (Tb 8,20)

• With the return of Exile, after the rebuilding of the Temple, the Israelis celebrated the Passover the fourteenth day of the first month. (Ezr 6,19)

• Jacob worked fourteen years for his uncle Laban in order to be able to marry his daughter Rachel. The first period of seven years he allowed him to take Leah for woman, the older sister of Rachel, and after the second period of seven years, he could finally marry Rachel. And Jacob had of Rachel fourteen son and grandsons. (Gn 29,15-30 and 46,22)

General

• The fourteen stations of the Way of Cross. Let us to mention that the number of stations varied until the 13th century and is finally fixed to fourteen by Clement XII and Benoit XIV. In 1958, a fifteenth is added at Lourdes to integrate the cult of Mary: "With Mary in the hope of the resurrection", but the fourteen stations have remained popular.

• The sufferings of the Christ would have begun fourteen days before Passover to finish with his passion.

• Every year, the celebration of the Easter is never done in the same date, contrarily to the feast of Christmas which is always celebrated on December 25. At the fourth century after Jesus Christ, one established that this major feast of the liturgical calendar would be celebrated the first Sunday following the 14th night of lunation of March, if this one presents it on March 21, to the equinox of the spring, or after this date.

• The James apostle, tells the Major, was killed fourteen years after the crucifixion of the Jesus Christ.

• The fourteen beatitudes of saint Anselme and saint Bernard rewarding the blissful in the Paradise. The seven beatitudes of the body: health, beauty, the agility, force, liberty, pleasure, longevity. The seven beatitudes of the soul: agree, honor, power, security, joy, wisdom, friendship.

• The Virgin Mary was 14 years old at the time of Annunciation according to the visions of Mary Agreda, that is to say exactly 14 years, 6 month and 17 days.

• In the Roman Catholic Church, it designates under the name Auxiliary Saints a group of fourteen saints particularly famous for the effectiveness of their invocation. They are represented often together. We invoke thus saint Denis against diabolic possessions, saint Acace for the headaches, saint Blaise for the sore throat, etc. The others are saint George, saint Erasme, saint Pantaleon, saint Guy, saint Christophe, saint Cynaque, saint Eustache, saint Egide, saint Marguerite, saint Barbe and saint Catherine.

• According to the Indians, fourteen Manous control the world in successive and equal reigns, during the great cycle of the Maha Kalpa or Day of Brahma, having 4320000000 solar years.

• According to the Egyptian legend, the body of Osiris was cut into 14 pieces whose 13 was found by Isis, the 14th, the penis, having been devoured by the fishes.

• In Egypt, the Amenti, area where go the souls of deaths, westward of the Nile, was divided in 14 parts.

• Among Greeks, the fourteen days "alcyonians" were the 7 days preceding and the 7 days following the solstice of winter. During this period, the sea was supposed calm so as to allow the "alcyons" to build their nest and to brood. The alcyons came from the Metamorphosis of Ceyx, son of the Star of the morning, Eosphéros (in Latin Lucifer) and his wife Alcyon, girl of Eole.

hello everyone i have also like many of you been seeing the number 14 ubiquitously. After a lot of introspection it came to me that at least in my life seeing the number 14 feels like a sign. It feels as if I'm on a race or journey (my life) and seeing 14 is tantamount to going through a checkpoint. I have also come to group and place deja vu, coincidences, and any other weird consistencies that I've come to experience in my life in this category as well.

My name is Louis. To the people of the number, by the end of next year you will know your purpose. A short time before this happens you will stop noticing the number. Some time after this you will discover the reason for your purpose. Do not be concerned or troubled, the meaning of this is older than the time you know.

The secrets of 14

by Vincent Jumper - 2/19/09 3:19 AM

14 is everywhere. I see it all the time. I see it on everything from cereal boxes to jerseys on the back of people's shirts. I also see it when counting things. Not only do I see it, but I hear it too. Occasionally when people are passing by I hear them say 14 in their conversations. It is really weird and follows me everywhere I go. I don't know whether it is good or bad or what it even means. The number 14 is yet to be revealed. I'm not crazy either.

Me too guys, it's always visually placed somewhere when I am experiencing something enthralling or in a social situation. On the TV, Odd items at peoples houses, particular roads I visit, car windows.. Plus I'm born 2 day before Valentines Day, 12 + 2 = 14. Age 14 was also the year I profoundly changed in mind. I suddenly gained vast knowledge, had an extreme desire to learn & I was aware of the world and its people. I feel it's a sign of something to come, the year 2014 possibly or 2 years after the cataclysmic changes that are meant to occur in 2012. Maybe a symbolisation of an area in the afterlife (if there is one) Something we will need to look out for eventually. Also in Numerology 1= Individual. Aggressor. Yang 4= Creation. Personally Individual and Creation have a dominant meaning to my personality.

I deal with the same issue... would you call it an issue? I guess, situation(s)? I see the number 14 all the time. I see it or hear it at least once a day. It's become a daily thing, this has been going on for only around two years now. Or, for so... at least from what I've experienced, or cared to notice.

Number 14

by Kim - 9/01/11 6:23 AM

I have been researching this number after reading Matthew 1 and it means deliverance and salvation. I believe that God is showing each person that continually sees this number that either you need to accept His deliverance and salvation or if you are saved that Christ's work on the cross also includes deliverance for you from addiction, habitual sin etc. Take hold of what Christ died such a horrible death to give you out of His great unconditional love!

Hi, ive been seeing my birthday since 2008. My bday is 11/14/89. I,thought I was losing my mind but it was always a warning or a sign to pay attention to my surroundings. I've always taken this serious and i'm just relieved to know that,other people see it too. I love the lord with all my heart and with these numbers he has blessed me to see beyond what others see. we are seeing the truth and it feels good.

14 what do you mean?

by Ben (Delaware) - 7/06/11 9:53 PM

My name is Ben H and I, like many of you see the number 14 on a daily basis! Mostly when glancing at the clock, 1:14, 7:14, 12:14 you name it I see it atleast 4-7 time a day. On top of that I see the number on street signs etc. It's kind of freaky but at the same time it gives a sense that there is a greater power out there and I actually beleive! Often we ask God to give us a sign, let us know you are here and I beleive this is a sign. Now this is freaky, recently I was talking to a co-worker, telling him about this 14 issue and we both looked at the clock exactly as the ticker was on the 14 second. Creepy, also my birthday is on 04-14-83, my son's birthday is on 09-14-06... Wish I had answers to this very simple question, what does the 14 mean and why do I see it all the time? I have had a rough time of late but this year has been much better, Someone should start a page on FB for people like us and post the link on here!

Hi, yesterday I heard a smilar story. My young colleague said that her friend, Ali keeps seeing number 39 all the time. I searched and it was related with the 39th sora of Koran. If you keep seeing the same numbers, I believe that you have dept and this is the way angels are talking with us. Please read some books about angels and the book " Living with angles)" I am sure that you can sense many things earlier. A lot of your important dreams might have become true. The answer is in the holly books I believe!

Numbers 14 and 11

by m - 1/26/11 11:24 AM

Paul -- my number has always been 11, which i have recently discovered is the number for twin souls. You would appreciate the book by Joudry and Pressman called Twin Souls -- internet stuff on it is all over the place, the book is much better. I connected w my twin on 11/11. too many others instances to mention now.

I got here, because my hubby is born on the 14th (I on the 11th of the same month) and I have been seeing 14 lately.

I think your idea that our soul group may have a number might be right on. I can tell you I know now for sure, there is much more than just this life! And it's all REALLY good stuff!!

The Number 14

by Paul - 3/08/10 6:16 AM

Hi there all.

I thought that I, my wife and Children are the only ones experiencing this surreal phenomenon of the number 14; how wrong am I. We have always kept this pretty much to ourselves, as people kind of think you are barking mad.

This first started for me way back in 1977, but recently over the last year it has become daily events. I have written an 11 page document of mine and my family’s experiences.

You think to yourself am I just seeing this number for the sake of seeing it, you know like I have bought myself the only white and pink polka dot car in my town, then all of a sudden there our thousands of them. This is clearly not the case with me. These incidents are within the fabric, the blueprint if you will of me, and my family. I have a staggering 43 occasions of this number being in or around my life. I am talking major events, major key points in my life path. I will state again none of the incidents are the type where you say – ooh I have seen the number 14 bus or the time is 14:14.... more...

That is MY birthdate! What information do you have??

RE: The Number 14

by Paul - 3/11/10 3:32 AM

For those who are born on 04.07.73

Point 1

04.07 is the 185th day of the year (1+8+5) = 14

I have looked into the probability of a birthday falling on day where it can be added to 14, and I can conclude that there is ONLY a 6% chance of this happening - and a 94% chance of being born on a different calculation. This to me is very significant information.

Point 2

In 1987 you are 14 (1+9+8+7) = 25 (2+5) = 7
In 2014 your are 41 notice the occurrences of 1&4 in both year and age (2+0+1+4) = 7

The two 7s make a 14 also.

This is cool too

1987 + 2014 = 4001 (the 1 and 4 is present in this sum)
2014 - 1987 = 27 (2x7) = 14

Point 3

“1987” This particular year is the only time in the 1900s where the last 3 digits can run down in sequence "987" the time before would have been 1876. The next time possible for it happen will be 2321. I had put a calendar together on this to see if I could establish anything significant, from which I was amazed what I had found. I have designed this so that... more...

WHAT ABOUT OTHER NUMBERS LIKE #11 AND #12 ???

by Andrew - 4/16/10 12:34 PM

I used to see the number 11 for about 11 years and then I started seeing #12 starting Dec. 12 2007. Im 31yrs old. I think that after 12/12/2007 my perception of life, and my passions changed.

Now Im visiting Cambodian, Angkor Wat and then number 14 is showing up everywhere. The energy here is very different. My bungalo room is 14, then the dated calander page 14th of April, then my computer number at the internet cafe is boldly marked 14 on the desk, etc,etc.

Life's setbacks at every fourteen years.

by Dave - 8/30/10 8:21 AM

It only dawned on me recently, after the loss of my job a couple of weeks back, that every fourteen years my life gets turned upside-down, and this is the third such cycle. It almost seems predictable at this point, so I am trying to find any significance to the number. Why fourteen? Every time this happens, it is accompanied with a trip to the depths of depression, and although I always make my way back out and my life appears to be better for it on the surface, my psyche takes a pounding; mentally I am far weaker; I lose trust in people and faith in myself...
