Properties of the number 20

Symbolism

• Represent the God solar for the Mayas.

• Represent "the fundamental differentiation which creates in the world two relatively antagonistic poles, and particularly the opposition: spirit-matter", according to R. Allendy.

• J. Boehme calls this number "the Devil", that is to say the material world opposed to the spiritual world.

• The number 20 is considered as ominous for saint Jerome because it indicates the universal fight, but it also represents the source of all energy of the world.

• This number is represented in Hebrew by the letter caph, in form of opened hand, to seize and hold. The eleventh mystery of the Tarot, which corresponds to this letter, and consequently with this number, is "the Force" which expresses energy, the activity, the work, according to R. Allendy.

• Number associated to the resurrection or to the reincarnation, according to Creusot.

Bible

• Samson had judged Israel for twenty years. (Jg 16,31)

• Under the commandment of Elisha, twenty barley loaves are enough to feed hundred persons. (2 K 4,42-44)

• God asked Moses to make the census of all the community of Israelis being twenty years old and more. (Nb 1,3)

• Jacob spent twenty years at Laban before to escape. (Gn 31,38)

General

• The devout of Krishna (whose it is told, in the Hindu religion, that he is one of the incarnations of Vichnou) prostrate, the face against ground, twenty times per day, in front of images of Krishna and in front of A.C. Bhaktivedante Swami Prabhupada, born in 1895, to who his believers attribute him a sixty of works, of which a translation of the "Bhagabad Gitâ" (The Song of the Blissful), poem Sanskrit of the 3rd century, in which is exposed the Hindu dogma of the universal soul - Atman.

• One month in the religious calendar Maya contained twenty days.

• The twenty volumes, named Nackas, of the Zend-Avesta (theological and philosophical books) which is the work of Zarathustra.

• According to the French book "La cybernétique des sens - ou si l'homme voulait" (The cybernetics of senses - or if the man wanted), Jose Jazan and John Rollet speak about "the Man factorial 5". They distinguish the "5 mental or subjective senses" and the "5 objective or physiological senses". These 10 senses act in two directions: from the man towards the outside and outside towards the man, giving 20 senses, as we have 4 times 5 fingers.

• Mathematical base (vigesimal numeration) in which worked the Gallic and the Mayas.

• Magic square of 20:

                     8 6 4 2
                     4 2 8 6
                     2 4 6 8
                     6 8 2 4

first 420, now 20

by Kyle Smith - 8/05/10 2:00 AM

The number "420" has followed me my entire life. I was in a terrible car wreck on the day of 4/20. I will look at a clock and see "4:20" One day I hadn't seen it ALL DAY and then that afternoon my phone rang for literally half a second. I opened it and it said the number was "Unavailable" NOT Restricted and the call was at 4:20. Lately, it has just been _:20 with 4:20 in there a lot. I just looked a clock about 2 minutes ago. The time was "2:54" according to my computer, but the clock next to my computer desk said "7:20". There have been SOOOOO many times these things have happened. One night it was about 8:32 but I looked at my friends car time and it said "4:20". I don't know what it is! I thought I was the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

number..

by Anonymous - 6/23/10 12:03 PM

I stumbled on this site..looks like you all seem to be familiar with numbers and their meanings..Dont know if this is even the right place to be posting but Im starting to get scared.. I keep seeing the number 9. And whenever i see this number..like when it jumps out at me..Something horrible happens. On dec 9th a very close person to my heart passed..just years later i was on the highway..a large 18 wheeler with a giant 9 painted on the sign passed me, seconds later my right front tire came off..sending me skating across 3 lanes of traffic..saw the number 9 for weeks everywhere and shortly after my brother was on life support at childrens hospital in boston,(he lived). And now it is popping up again and I am absolutely terrified. what could 9 mean? i dont understand it?

you can make an experiment on yourself :

choose another number and try to concentrate on that number. make yourself believe that this number is very special for you. and observe if you see this number everywhere. if you , it means there is nothing with numbers but it is co incidence. for example 22, 35, 5 .... ( oops , i realized this numbers sum of them are also 9 ) 9 is infact good number. don't afraid of it. someone death is bad for people left behind but it can be a good thing for who died because he- she could be in heaven now. so think everything from its positive side.

The number 20

by 2cauac - 3/26/10 3:46 AM

In the mayan culture, consciousness divides by 13, and creation multiplies by 20, thus the 260 tzolkin calendar (13*20). January 1999 marked the start of the 8th underworld (the second last big step on the mayan calander, and notably on mayan pyramids), with each day and night (7 days and 6 nights = 13)consisting of 360 solar days. February of 2011 is the start of the 9th and final underworld, where each day and night lasts for 20 solar days.

just like you i too am seeing the number 20 everywhere, and have been for years.My sister that is 3 years younger then me see's it too. We talk about it all the time. Thats why we found this site. I feel like im crazy or something. The number follows us everywhere! Never fails. I think for us its some sort of sign from the spiritual world warning us about something bad. Whats scary is the othere night some friends and i were hanging then all the sudden i got a scary feeling. Then i started crying! WOW this has never happend. I told my friends i scenced something bad happening. 10 mins later we got told some bad news.

me too, ive been seeing it for years!. But why me? What does it really mean? I know theres a connection with me and that number. Im Scared too cuz i just recently turned 20.

RE: 20.

by omg!!! - 6/13/10 7:08 AM

wow i thought i was the only one. Now im realy freaked out... it happens to me all the time, for examples: people may ask me what time is it? and when i check, it would be 4;20 or 5;2o, and so on. it also appears when people txt me. they would txt me at that specific time. it appears in adreses i may need, (this happens atleast 15 time daily) no lie...at times it may happen in a row. in less than and hour it would appear like 3 times. (whether its time,addreses, txt mgs,dates,bus numbers, even my I.D i try to explain it to others but they sometimes dont understand. The other ironic thing is that usualy when i see the number so many times daily, i end up in an arguement with my boyfriend, family or job. Thats why i feel like its warning me too... and from reading from this, it states that the number 20 is the god solar for the mayans, the irony of that it that im guatemalan. Mayas were highly populated in Antigua Guatemala i even resamble there features, skin color,hair,hight its also very freaky that the mayans calender ends in 2012. ... so it makes me 100 times more concerned.

RE: 20.

by concerned - 6/15/10 12:32 PM

I too, since last October '09 have looked at the clock and it be 20 minutes after the hour. Is it a subconscious thing, or is there more meaning to it. I just sat down at the computer 10 minutes ago (20 minutes after the hour) without even realizing it. This occurs daily, and every waking hour! What does this mean? I have had nothing but bad luck with my health since all of this started happening. Is there a connection. Is it a sign of bad things to come or can I look at this as a coincidence? Just know, none of you are alone in this.

Re: born 12/20/61

by Delineate - 4/02/10 9:48 AM

The number twenty is representative of our 7th President, Andrew Hugh Jackson's picture on the twenty dollar bill. There are 7 deadly sins verses 7 virtues which is the inner battle we have as humans.
The number 7 represents the divine. the number twenty is also five days before Christmas. If one looks at Davinci's "Creation" Painting,
They will see God holding his hand to Man's hand to give him life. On
the 7th day, he rested. Genesis

In God's word the Bible it directs us to listen to what our Creator, Jehovah God; He lovely warns all peoples what we must do to survive...Follow the Christ. But, which one? Christ Jesus...He not only provided his own life as a ransom provision, but invites all who want to be saved from this wicked worlds end, to study God's Word the Bible and practice what it teaches in all areas of our lives, also teaching others ITS life saving truth. Here are a few scriptual references to look up. Matthew Chap. 5-7 John 17:3; Revelation 21: 1-5;
Please, take heart...We can have faith in God's Word...He never lies.

20 in my daughters birthday

by Siam - 4/11/10 9:36 AM

Hi, my daughter was just born and the number 20 kept coming up on her day of birth. We checked into the hospital on March 19 and they put us in room 20. She was born the next day on March 20, at 20 hundred hours of the year 2010. It was her great grandmothers 80th birthday. It's also cool that it was the first day of spring. I'm a sceptic about many things, but this is kind an of odd coincidence of numbers.

My birthdate is 9 20 63 so the pattern I see there is two 9's and a 6 in 63 plus the 20 adds up to my name. I have no idea how numerology works but when I try to google this all I come up with is license plate numbers. I was born at 6 am.

The Number 20

by Albert Jefferson - 4/01/09 9:56 AM

Since I was born on the 20th day of the month of July, I have been curious concerning the significance of the number 20. However, this curiousity has peaked exponentially since I seem to encounter this number more times than can be attributed to coincidence. I feel that it has to do with an imminent spiritual awakening from the dark sleep of Maha Maya, the Grand Illusion in this age of Aquarius. AJJ
