Properties of the number 22

Symbolism

• Represents the movement, the infinity.

• Symbol of the manifestation of the being in its diversity and its history.

• Represent the creation, which is the manifestation of the 21, according to R. Allendy. It is amongst other things the sigificance of the "principle of differentiation, 2, being added to the initial differentiation of the Cosmos 20 to subdivide the parts and to generate, by this means, the complex mechanism of the nature - 2 + 2 = 4. (...) With 22, we see the play of the opposite particular initiative - 22 = 11 x 2 -, to balance in the natural mechanism".

• Symbolizes the end of a cycle, and for the man, the end of the obligatory reincarnations on the earth.

Bible

• The 22 chapters of the Revelation of John, totaling 405 verses. This current distribution in 22 chapters originates from Stephen Langton, used since the 13th century, as for all the remainder of the New Testament. Let us note that the Revelation book has also on the whole 405 numbers written in their ordinal or cardinal form: 136 cardinal numbers greater than 1, 59 ordinal numbers greater than 1, 193 times the number 1 in the cardinal form and 17 times the number 1 in the ordinal form.

• Before to die, Jesus exclaimed "Eli Eli lama sabactani" which is the beginning of the psalm 22.

• The alphabetical psalms of which the poetries (Ps 111 and 112), stanzas (Ps 37 and 119) or verses (Ps 145), are indicated by each of the twenty-two Hebraic letters.

• It is the number of letters of the alphabet that we find in the Pentateuch.

• The chronology of the Patriarchs, from Adam to Jacob, includes 22 names.

• The duration of the reign of Jeroboam was twenty-two years. (1 K 14,20)

General

• The 22 elements by which God created the world.

• At his Ascension, by twenty-two times Jesus blesses the creation.

• The Word of God is at the 22th level of conscience. The cosmic conscience would subdivide indeed into 24 dimensional or spiritual levels. The maximal conscience level, the 24th, would be attributable only to the God-Father and the 23th level would be considered as being an energy protective area surrounding the level 24. The 22th level of conscience would be also that of the antique Elohim also named the 24 Ancients.

• Twenty-two is the number of biblical books of the Old Testament - Hebrews and Protestants. This number is obtained by counting for only one book the twelve minor prophets, as well as the Judges, the Kings, Ezra, the Chronicles (each one being generally divided into two books). It is also necessary to integrate Ruth with the Judges and the Lamentations with Jeremiah. And it is thanks to this last restriction that we obtain finally 22 instead of 24. Flavius Joseph (Against Apion, I, 8, 1st s.) is the first one to have proposed a distribution in 22 books.

• The Mezuzah contains fifteen verses of the last book the Old Testament, the Deuteronomy, VI, 4-9 and XI, 13-21, for a total of 170 words, always written in 22 lines. This small roll is inserted in a tube of wood or metal and is attached to the superior right side on the frame of a door, according to the commandment of the Bible: "And you will write them on the frame of the door of your house" .

• The 22 chapters of the Vendidad, book of the Avesta, written by Zarathustra.

• The 22 prayers ("Yeshts") of the "Khorda-Avesta".

• The Chronos god was surrounded by 22 main assistants and 22 secondary, according to the Phoenician Sanchoniaton.

• For the Muslives, the Koran is the recording of the oral revelation authorized by the grace of God to the Prophet of Islam during almost 22 years, in the beginning of the seventh century of the Christian era - from 610 to 632.

• According to S. Doucet and J.-P. Larosee, the man is composed twenty-two evolutionary bodies gathered in four categories: subtle body, energy body, galactic body and temporal body. Each one of these 22 bodies is formed of 1296 "partitions" that they call circumferences, vibrating each one at a precise frequency. This number 1296 is called "Energizing number", since it is the product of 12 (Cosmic number) and 108 (Universal number). By multiplying 22 by 1296, they obtain the total number of 28512 circumferences composing the 22 evolutionary bodies of the man, that is according to them the number of the man and also that of Infinite Energy.

• Several old alphabets had twenty-two letters: Chaldean, Sabean, Roman, Copt and Hebraic. The letters of the Hebraic alphabet are divided into three mother letters (Aleph, Mem, Shin), seven double letters (Beth, Guimel, Daleth, Kaph, Phe, Resh, Tau) twelve simple letters (He, Waw, Zain, Heth, Teth, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samekh, Ayin, Tzade, Qoph).

• According to saint Yves of Alveydre, the primitive alphabet of all the humanity, at the period of "Ram" (adam alphabet or "Watan"), would have comprised 22 signs.

• Salemi points out that the Hebrew Candelabra includes 22 chalices, 22 apples and 22 flowers by counting the point superior of the axis.

• "From the twenty-two great Masters that counted the "Templiers Order" since its creation to its term, seven lost the life in combats; five died of their wounds, one of voluntary fast, having fallen to hands of infidels. Finally, James Molay had to be burnt alive under Philip the Bel, but the Order was dissolved when this crime occurred. It is therefore on the whole thirteen great Masters in function who paid of their existence the honor to command the soldiers of Christ." (John Carpentier)

• The 22 cards of the Tarot - 22 mysteries major.

• The Cosmos would shelter 22 Super-Universe.

• The totality of mystical knowledge is contained in the symbolic of the first twenty-two numbers, according to Bambaras.

• The initiation of Pythagoras with the Egyptian priests lasted 22 years.

• The twenty-two channels linking the ten "Sephiroth" between them in the "sephirotic Tree" of the Cabal.

• According to some mediumnic revelations, it would exist 22 main stars where all the entities will pass to achieve the complete cycle of their evolution.

• Twenty-two is the number of writable regular polygons in an Euclidiean circle: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360. These are twenty-two of the twenty-four dividers of 360, the two first, 1 and 2, not defining polygons.

• Length of the cubit in number of fingers, for Bambaras, which corresponds to the totality of the categories of the creation: this cubit from Bambaras represents therefore the universe.

• Number of total stars of which is composed the Little Bear. However, only seven of them are visible to the naked eye.

• 22 divided by 7 gives the number "pi", which represents the mysterious and approximate ratio of the perimeter of a circle to its diameter.

• The head of the man is constituted of 22 bones: 8 for the cranium and 14 for the face.

• Anniversary of marriage: weddings of ebony.

Gematria

• The shout of alert "22!" was used by the typographers warning thus the arrival of the chief of workshop. The number is obtained by addition of the numerical value of each letter of the French word "chef" (chief) according to their position in the Latin alphabet: C=3, H=8, E=5 and F=6.

Occurrence

• The number 22 is used 13 times in the Bible.

• The book of the Leviticus of the OT uses on the whole 22 different numbers, of which the higher is 10000 (Lv 26,8).

• The number 400 is used 22 times in the Bible.

• The word universe is used 22 times in the OT and the words balances, marriage, day and creation, 22 times in the Bible.

''Obsession with 22"

well today is the 22nd. I've been like obsessed with 22 for a while now. I see it everywhere. everytime i look at the clock, its , something:22 .... I love the number now and the beginning of this obsession, I was a little creeped out by it. but now I'm used to it and I accept it. I love 22. Everytime I see 22, I make a wish. I feel like there is a purpose to it, but i dont know what it is. Im so glad you all have the same type of thing.happy 22nd everybody!

and I also went to two stores today and the total came out to be 22 dollars for one store and 122 dollars for another store. I dont think my thing of 22 is a coincidence.

Every time I see 22 on the clock I say the Hail Mary prayer depending on what hour it is (if it's 6:22 I say 6 prayers). I've done it for a little over a year and cannot recall one day that I didn't see 22 on the clock at least once.

I am in awe that there is so much on this number I see it everywhere. I am not crazy. I point it our to my sister when it happens. I have always wondered what this could be, coincidence, sub consciously looking for or what! Very curious as to its origin!

i was born on 22nd of may 1981. but what drew me to ask question here is repeating of the 11:22 i've been seeing for couple of months now. repeating themselves, sometimes even few times a day. so, now that im writing, can i get mmore info about my birth date as well as the numbers im seeing (11:22 or 22:11 - they mostly do come together)?
thanks in advance

5/22/1981 is 28 what is known as the perfect number.

RE: 22:11

by y0 - 5/17/12 2:55 PM

ok. thanks. not sure about the meaning of that perfection, for perfection itself varies a lot...
what about 11:22? i know its connected to one another, i read the meanings, but i would like to hear more insights, interpretations of their connection into this solid unity...

RE: 22:11

by Anonymous - 5/21/12 8:08 AM

First 11 is Light and 22 is the foundation of that light. Both total 33 which is the number of the Master Teacher. The word light is 29/11 and the word foundation is 11 put together you get 22. Foundation also has the code 11/11/22. The number 33 is associated with Psalm 117 in the KJV of the Holy Bible. Psalm 117 has only 33 words in it and speaks to all nations. There are other meanings behind 33 but this is the main one.

For years now I've had the number 22 appearing in my life. At first my husband laughed, but then he began to notice how the number would randomly appear. The most common place for me to see it is on the clock, usually at 22 minutes past the hour. I dont know how long the number has been part of my life, just that when I was a child I used to love visiting my auntie, who lived at number 22. I can go for months without seeing it, but then it will be a constant for months on end.

Everything!!!

by Carley - 6/20/12 4:52 PM

So, like many people on here I am encountering the number 22 several times a day. Its very strange. I'm trying to learn about numerology more to understand it, but I'm kind of stumped. My birthday is 2/22 1993. I guess I'd be a number 1. But I'm 2/22, and 1993 adds up to 22. So I find that very strange. My first year of college I was assigned to room number 222. There have been various occasions where randomly, money my boyfriend and I have been saving added up to 222, and just today he counted his coin jar and it was $22.22. I see 22 on the clock several times a day, and at this point I'm just losing track of how many things are 22. Its completely absurd. I'm not even surprised anymore.

The only meaning anything ever has is the meaning we give it... When we say everything happens for a reason were not lying,we're merely stating to the recipienct of our comment that its us, we make the moments mean something. So if 22 is chasing you around maybe your subconcious is trying to tell you something,maybe. Perhaps you have an uncanny abiity to instinctually look at things when 22 arises or it could just be like when you buy a shirt you've never seen before and all of a sudden you see it everywhere. Nothing in and of itself is neither "Good" or "Bad". It is what you make it. Im not saying nothing is cosmic or supernatural, not at all. I beleive in the craziest things. I just like to cover the basics before I start letting my strong imagination concoct things like reptilian presidents and an "Armageddon". These two expamples can show how an idea can turn very real in the mind of the one with the idea. Christians believe every time we're at war that it's Armageddon and conspiracy theorist(the extreme... more...

Scared of 22

by Jess - 11/27/10 7:35 AM

I'm 15 years old, and I've been seeing the numbers 2, 22, or 222 EVERYWHERE! Feeling that this was a bad thing, I told my mom about it. She really didn't believe me at first, but then when my brother came home from working at the mall, he told me these exact words: "I went to Claire's to look for Melanies' [his girlfriend] Christmas present, and there were like, 22 keychains with yur name." My mom looked at me immediately, and asked him, "Why did you say the number 22?" to which my brother answered, "I don't really know, it just slipped out." I just smiled and walked to my room.
I started seeing the number 22 when I turned 13. No, my birthday isn't on the 22nd, or anything like that. For two years now (how weird: TWO years), I've seen numbers with the number 22 in them EVERYWHERE, and it really is scaring me because I don't know if this is a good, or a bad thing.
Reading this article didn't help me that much, on account that I am Jewish, so why would I care about the number 22 in the Bible? If someone can please get back to me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

You can tell your mother to stop and listen to what you are aware of which is the spiritual light code 22. Today the children are the teachers. There are Messengers that will teach you more about the spiritual destiny of humanity if you are willing to learn. It is a coded spiritual message that millions of people are experiencing around the world. The only source of such a message on a massive scale is God Our Creator. Revelations 22 is being fulfilled as we speak. It is neither good or bad it is sacred. It is good you are becoming aware of the spiritual light code 22. Listen with your heart to its message and you will receive what God is trying to say to you.

I to have seen 22 all my life. I don't know what it means, but I don't think its a bad omen. Once I was flying home from Mexico and I noticed it everywhere at the airport. My seat, the gate, even the flight #, and not to mention it seemed to be all over the place at the airport. I was freaked out because I knew I had seen it all my life, but I took it as a good sign. We got home safely.

I was born on september 22. and for some reason, i have been seeing this number everywhere. I am still trying to decide wether or not it is a sign from God or an Omen warning me of something. Either way, I have become somewhat obbsessed with the number. and i'm glad to see that there other people who are experiencing the same thing. What I find odd is how we people who are born on the 22nd day of the month, are all having a similar experience. That's just straight up weird.

The number 22

by Carin' - 9/29/12 11:50 PM

A numerologist did a reading for me & included the name I was given momentarily at birth, the name I was given in the orphanange & the name I was given when adopted. I was born 12/22/52 & was adopted 11/11/53, which was always celebrated as my birthday until I was about 39 y.o. I was told that I had 3 master numbers: 11, 22 & 33. I have done some research online & still am not quite grasping any significant understanding of what this may mean in my life. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you.
