Properties of the number 17

Symbolism

• Number of the Son of Man, according to Abellio.

• Represent the action of the evolution on the Cosmos and its tendency to the karmic liberation, 1 + 7 = 8, according to R. Allendy.

• Ominous number for Italians, as the number 13 in Occident.

RE: Number "17"

There definitely has to be something to this. I was born December 17th, 1958 and for the past 2 years almost every time I glance up at my clock at no matter what hour, 17 is in the minutes..I came on this site to learn more...I love Valerie Bertinelli and when she got married she had stated that no one wanted to sit at table #17. I've since found out that the Italians deem this as much bad luck as #13, especially if the day lands on a Friday....Very interesting and I'm with you on the wish that something good is in the cards for us....Thanks for sharing.

I was born on Sunday June. 17, 1990 on Father's Day. Seventeen years from that exact date i would turn 17 on June. 17 2007 on Father's Day which was also on Sunday. On that day I was with my Grandmother's church on a float trip on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Ever since then I have been seeing the number 17 everywhere. I have done strenuous research on the numbers 1,7,777. In my findings I have noticed that God is communicating with us through Time, numbers, and people who have realized his calling card. His name in our numbers. I tattooed the number 777 above my heart to remind me that God belongs in the heart first and foremost. I have also noticed that if i add all the letters in my name they equal the number 17. Seventeen does nothing but surround me it seems like but hey im not complaining, at least I know that God is right there with me.

this is weird

by Ellie - 7/31/11 8:03 PM

in response to "Maya" , I completely agree with everything you said.
The number 17 has followed me my entire life (all 19 years of it). It started when I was young , and i realized my dad's sport number was 17, as was his father's...as was/is mine.
I would get the number 17 assigned to me in class, or draw it at random.
Immediately I recognize the number at a change of glance, etc.
In june I got the number 17 tattooed on my ribcage. I just felt it has been such a big part of my life...but i can't figure out why.
I almost walked out of the tattoo parlor with a change of heart, until I realized the date was June 17...I couldn't resist.
Something weird is happening. And I want to understand what.

Dear Ellie,
Yes you are right.... something is happening.... and what is that.....???
It is called ascension or human awakening...a DNA upgrade.... or an evolution of man kind...which is a world wide phenomena.... try searching for this subject on google and you will come across a lot of information.... David Wilcock, jim carey, David Icke and oprah winfrey videos would be best.... one which i recommend.... tried uploading a few links here.... but could not.... i really hope you find all your answers...and in time.....
Love and Light...
Peace...
Maya... :-)

RE: this is weird

Ellie,
Stay far away from "ascension" theories. Stick to the bible. The last deceptions of Satan will be to increase religions. When you think of ascension, think branch davidian, Waco Texas! Think the mass suicides of San Diego. The devil wants only one of 2 things; you to kill yourself or you to die without faith in God. Remember, this is a war, and we are the pawns until the end. Once we prove we are worthy of Christ's salvation by believing in his sacrifice, we have the reward of eternal happiness!

7-17

HELP! For several months the numbers 7-17 are popping up everywhere I look. I don't think about it until it appears. It happens to be my daughter's birthday 7-17-88. Should I be concerned that this re-occurance means something?????

The only thing to be concerned about is that you and your family follow a path that is Godly. God is in everything, even numbers! When you see the number, reflect, ask yourself "should I be here?" "would God, your father, approve?"... If the answer is yes, then continue, if it is no... Change your course! But don't get wrapped up in the symbology of a specific number and it's one meaning... There are infinite meanings to everything, based on an infinite amount of variables. But, everything breaks down into 2 simple categories: positive and negative. Only you get to choose which category to fall under.

17 in all

by not say - 11/30/11 3:17 PM

Hi, sorry for my bad english.
In general, my life many things associated with the 8, but mainly 8 is formed 1+7=8.

I was born on 17 august, 1990. So, 17.08.1990. thats mean 8/8/1, 8+8+1=17.
From the beginning I did not pay attention to this, but when I began to study at the high school, my ID number was 17, My girlfriends name number is 7 and I have 1, so 1+7.
Also the number 17 is everywhere...
My first part of life was very unlucky, I was very negative to many things, I did no like people and felt unloved, then I relized that there is something to change in my life. I become a positive, it was hard and rather it was acting, but I feel good and I like myself, then I fell in love... that was amazing, apart from the fact that something did not go together, there was a lot of barriers in our relationships. It was crazy and I dont know what to do... I was no longer positive character, because it was not real me. It was just the acting. From childhood I was taught in religious in my family, but not realy... more...

17 recurring

by Louis - 11/13/11 8:08 AM

17 has been haunting me for years. Like no other number or incidence. Table numbers, flight seat numbers, graffiti (the only) in majorly random places (like on a tree in the middle of the bush in Zambia no17), idenitification numbers, times, number plates, it's really tiresome. Wish I could know why this number just keeps coming up. I have shared this with close friends and family and even they are truly mystified and intrigued by the occurrence in my life. If I put fuel in my car it will end on seventeen liters or a digit like 25.17 liters poured, or the amount to pay will be $55.17 or $71.17 ...If I drive somewhere and stop, ODO will read a distance.17, or 17 ...It;s driving me up a wall. Would go to a restaurant with friends, they would choose a table, the restaurant is completely empty, table number is 17. Go to another restaurant a few years go, all table except one is available, table 17. Happened to be at a casino that night so I figured (as I'm not a gambler) to play roulette. Put $50 on number 17,... more...

RE: 17 recurring

by XT - 11/18/11 10:34 PM

IMHO the number 17 Is a spiritual association with a loved one.
My Nan whom I lived with and loved very much was a sickly lady and tried to prepare me for her impending death.
I told her I could not accept this and she told me, I had no choice and I would have to learn to accept it. I asked how would I do this, she said I would see a sign and then I would accept it. Prior to days before she died, I started seeing the occurrence of the number 17. I didn't like what I was seeing. The day she died, and we got the call to goto the hospital, I looked at my watch and when I added up the date, it equaled 17, I thought OMG. We arrived at the hospital and she had passed. Prior to leaving the car, a weird feeling came over me, I looked at my watch and it was 7:10 pm. I thought, she died.
Sure enough when I asked the nurse what time she passed away. The nurse looked at the chart and said 7:10. It was an odd question for a 17 year old kid.
I accepted it as she was really sick and I was being selfish. I did not like it but I accepted it. 17 still follows me and I always look for its meaning.
My Nan always promised me, she would always be my Guardian Angel, even in after life. I truly believe that and no one can convince me otherwise.
She was born 1917.

It means to believe in ALLAH only

by Kane - 2/08/09 11:00 AM

I was born on june 17th and I came in the US on Oct 17 th. I see 17 everywhere such as clock, car, walls, all over. Then I decide to find out about this number. Yes this site gives a hint. Also, I found out that Jesus was born on June 17th by an Australian stargazer Dave Reneke who used complex computer software to chart the exact positions of all celestial bodies and map the night sky as it would have appeared over the Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago.
Now, I pray more to ALLAH and become more religious than ever before. I have seen a huge change in my life. Please read more about modern science in the Quran. You will be amazed, your faith will become stronger and your 17 number will be more meaningful.
Thanks

Be prepared to say WTF.. To start this whole thing off as the result of 17, I found god in my life.. and I have a slight feeling I'm meant to write this out for someone out there to be influenced by and solve their own challenges of life. My reasoning is because there's a 189 comments before mine..
Anyways! To kick this insanity off, My name is Micah Mullins-Gabel. Name is 17 letters. I am the product of an affair, baby of the family and the mut as well. My life has been like a movie. I was born 06/17/1993 in Lincoln, NE. I was not the most normal kid.. I was what most would call completely creepy/psycho/insane/demonic. I wasnt anti-social creeper status or somthin but I was an outkast. Simple as that. Growing up, my mother wasn't home too much, it's not like I never saw her but her influence to my early childhood was minimal. She handled 3 jobs while my siblings who are all 10 yrs older than me raised me. To that I now see my brother who is only 28 as a father in a sense. I don't literally think "oh, dad!"... more...

The MEANING.

by Anonymous - 2/07/11 10:54 PM

Good Day, Everyone.

I am a Christian with a prophetic gifting, who found myself on this site after looking up this phenomenon myself (as it's happening to me). I have been led to believe from God that this number is a "sign of things to come".

It is a holy number, and signal of divine importance.

God Bless.

Hi,
I am italian, excuse me for my not perfect english. From about five years I see 17 everywhere: on digital clocks, on cars tachimeters, on mobile phone display, etc. The bus stops and the number that I see it over the door on front the bus!! and in many many other strange circumstances. Certainly time passes and the number 17 goes once every minute, but why my attention is attracted by the clock when the second, and sometimes even minutes and the hours scored 17?
I'm a statistician and I can say that the frequency with which I see the number 17 is much higher if compared to a normal distribution. In Italy, this number is considered an unlucky number. I personally know several people like me that are persecuted by the vision of this number. A friend of mine (who is still haunted by 17) lost her husband (37 years old) who committed suicide after only three years of marriage. Another friend of mine last year lost his brother to botulism poisoning just 48 years old, and the persecution continues!
Now I would... more...

It means, that whatever happens, is the will of God for His purposes. (At least that's my guess).

I agree I just had the same dream. A man had came in a white van. You could tell as if a sergant in the special services or Army like. SO he got out looking for me. He called the name 1117 and I happened to have it in my hand on a piece of paper. So I was the person recruited. So I left and got in the side of the van. Soldier like enviroment and equipment. Then we road off. I was confused then tried to put it in the spirit. What does this mean?

The number 17 is the culmination of the temporal world (government) 10, and the spiritual 7 (the seven churches that are in Asia.) Yahuwshua (the true name of the our savior) will come and unite the temporal world with the spiritual world. There is a promise of this is Yirmeyahu (jeremiah) chapter 32 regarding 17 Shekels as a promise that Jerusalem will be once again occupied by Yishra'el. Many of you christians have the blood of Yishra'el flowing through your veins and YOU KNOW IT NOT. Arise and awake and you will receive your inheritance on the day Yahuwshua returns. 17 is coming soon but only those who live like Mashiach (messiah) did will share in the portion.

Ohio: 17th state

by Darren Grundey - 10/06/11 9:08 PM

I've been developing a renaissance logos based upon symbols connected to the state of Ohio. I've been stumped awhile on the fact that Ohio is the 17th state to be inducted into the union. I'm fairly confident there is a connection to the 17-rayed egyptian sun disc but can only find a small excerpt from a Blavatsky source on the web, although nothing of the sort is mentioned here. Anyone have any insights? Also, as far as synchronicities are concerned, Columbus, Ohio, the state's capitol, celebrates its bicentennial anniversary in 2012! What's even more fun is how the symbolic sign-ificance of this phenomenon is mirrored in the fact that the 80's movie Bicentennial Man was directed by Christopher Columbus; someone who, although he was born in Pennsylvania, grew up in Ohio. Go figure.

I also have a connection to "17"

by Matthew - 3/18/11 8:40 PM

I too encounter the number 17 on an almost daily basis. I see it in television commercials, on license plates, on recipts from purchases I make, in movies, important dates in my life often occur on the 17th (anniversaries / birthdays), when I happen to glance at a clock.. it's almost always at 17 after the hour.

I dated someone a couple years ago who also encountered this. We both also seemed to be able to predict the others thoughts.. could guess what color/number the other was thinking, finished each other's sentences.. etc. I've never encountered this with anyone else before or after her.. and yet I still see the number 17 all the time even though we've been broken up for over a year.

I also seem to have an ability to predict when certain songs are about to come on the radio or when a friend is about to call my phone. I had no idea that there were this many other people who share in these unusual preminitions. I wonder what it means or what it is leading up to. If anyone is interested in chatting about this or comparing stories..

I can do that to. Happened yesterday. I was walking down the street wasnt even aware a person was behind me heard a leaf crack on the ground in my head, hard to explain like i new it was gunna happen and then I heard the actual leaf crack a second later and there was a guy to far to hear walking from footsteps. I am only aware of these things the moment before they happen. Phones, radio. When the satelite just goes blank. Person typing me on msn. Pretty much everything. It scares and gives me wonder at the thought that I am aware of most things before they happen. Ino when my mom or dad is about to yell at me from the basement. I am not easily startled by anything. I was born on 11 17 November 1987 1 89 7, 1and7 and 8+9= 17, 1117 = 10 which I find to be better and more important for some reason. Check my other posts.

I was born on November 17th also
11 17 they add to 10, which in my mind is always good. I walk into a room often and even if its half an hour or 43 minutes before I looked at a clock last it's always on the 10. Happens more often than not.

I was born on November 17, 1987 november 11 months 17th day 1987 1--7 9+8 = 17. I see that number alot. I get worried when I see the clock as 1:17 am or pm I feel it's missing a digit and means bad news for me. That bit about the mass of neptune is 17 times greater than Earth. I really like water for some reason, maybe there's some connection

July 17 or 717

by Anonymous - 9/13/11 5:19 PM

Reseaching your site to find numerical symbolism behind what may have been the first attempted murder of Michel Trudeau on July 17, 1998 when his vehicle was broadsided by another vehicle in Portage LaPrairie, Manitoba. Trudeau died in a so-called accident on Friday, November 13, 1998.

The co-incidence of the dates and their symbolism for Freemasonry is uncanny.

Freemasonry, United Grand Lodge of England, was established in 1717 and the first near death of the young Trudeau was 717.

The Pope and his agents murdered the Templars on Friday the 13 in 1307 and the young Trudeau died on Friday November 13, 1998.

So, if someone tried to and did murder Michel Trudeau they used days that had meaning for Freemasonry which may explain who was behind the murder - The Pope or the Freemasons - take your pick.

Interesting eh???

The Number 17 and DNA

by Larry - 8/02/11 4:16 PM

There are'11'people and there are'17'people,both seeing their respective #'s in everything.Welcome to the club.Take the cicada {17 yr.locust}for instance,how do they know when to wake up? It's in their DNA. 17 people are often more awake/AWARE than the general populous and question the reason why.Seeing it forward and backward at the same time represents balance.A gift or a curse? Whenever it pops up for me it usually means there's about to be an enlightenment or pay attention! Psychic or psychotic? You choose. Crazy? Only if you believe you are!!! We LIVE IN A CRAZY WORLD. To the woman afraid of breast cancer,look into chromosome 17.
Many 17's I've encountered had trauma situations at ages 17,34,and 51. I AM ONE.

I was born on 17th. For some reason unknown to me I subconsciously defer to that number. You are so very right that 17 is a landmark of some significance.

seen many times

by Roy Fox - 9/28/08 3:42 AM

had this number present itself to me several times within the last week, this after a long internal battle and struggle, I put out to the universe "I want a sign to tell me I am on the right path" and so I am!

I was surprised when I looked this up. I see 17 everywhere, and I can see Im not alone. heck while reading these comments I checked the time and time was 3:17 Im not going to go crazy with more examples cause many of you covered that part. :P Still, pretty strange
