Properties of the number 28

Symbolism

• The Dr. Allendy observes that the number 28 combines cyclic times: 4 and the evolutionary times: 7. "It is the spiral of the evolution unfolding among the perpetual cycles of the nature; it is the being progressed in the permanent oscillations of the Cosmos". From the mystical viewpoint, this number shows the Initiate, 8, bringing back the antagonism of the cosmic force, 20, to the unit - 2 + 8 = 10.

• Second perfect number because this number is equal to the sum of its aliquot parts.

Bible

• It is the number of chapters of the Gospel of Matthew and also of the Acts of the Apostles.

• Ecclesiastes, in the chapter 3 verses 2 to 8, enumerates 28 "times" in these 7 verses: There is a time for giving birth and a time for dying, for planting and for uprooting what has been planted, to kill and heal, to destroy and build, to cry and laughter, to mourn and dance, to throw stones away and to gather them, to embrace and to refrain from embracing, to search and lose, to keep and discard, to tear and sew, for keeping silent and to speak, to love and to hate, and finally a time for war and a time for peace.

28 The Return

by Michael - 4/09/10 7:51 AM

The number 28 is the most important perfect number. In 1804 the British and Foreign Bible Society was organized. Students of the prophetic word felt at the time that these agencies were coming in fulfillment of the prophecy. This was a direct reference to the prophecy of Christ that He would return when His gospel was preached everywhere in the world. Before 1804 , the Bible had already been printed in and circulated in fifty languages. In 1816 the American Bible Society was formed. Both of these societies completed the task and were spreading the Gospel of Christ in every part of the world. This was considered by the students of scripture to be in exact fulfillment of the words of Christ given in Mark: and the gospel must be published among all nations. Christ warns that when this takes place: Take ye heed,watch and pray:for ye know not when the the time is. When this gospel is published in all nations, Christ again says: '.... then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and... more...

Regarding this number

by Anonymous - 1/06/12 1:50 AM

What about individuals born on the 28th week of their mother's pregnancy? Yes it is an extremely premature birth with negative consequences to follow if they survive. But, is there anything positive derived from this, since it involves the number 28.

The number 28 is relatively close to nothing, because numbers is relatively nothing. Its just A fragment of humans needs to systemize and categorize things that cant be categorized. U point at A set of stones and tell people there is two stones, but there is no such things as just two stones, they are different. Just like the time is different, u can look at ur watch and note that there is 28 mins gone by in time, but time is relatively, no watch is perfect and as long its mechanical or humans there will be errors, and errors will change the orders of things. Time is based on the sun, but the whole univers is changing, just as the sun, just as the time. thats why the number 28 is nothing, but A human set of signs.

Numbers do mean something and do come from somewhere. Numbers are in science and creation everywhere. From your comment you seem to disbelieve and be very flat/unemotional about the whole idea. Makes me think your name is how you are feeling. However you are on this page so maybe you do have some belief or just in need of some divine 28 energy. I wish you well.

Ms. 28 met Mr. 28

I was born on the 28th of July. My husband was born on the 28th of October. I met him in my workplace. I was new then.. We chatted, he asked for my number. That same night I received a text message from him "Hello, this is Mr. 28." During our first date, our table number in the restaturant was number 28. We got married on the 28th of September. We went on a honeymoon trip to this island resort where they gave us room number 28. My baby was born year 2008. I see number 28 everyday, everywhere... So does my husband. Fortunately, something good always happen when we see it.

28 is my lucky number because I was born on the 28/7,my husband 28/10,sister 28/10,niece 28/10, nephew 28/3, dad 28/12 and also some friends. The last few months whenever I look at the clock it is also 28 past something, this has been happening to me several times a day. I do believe there is something special about it and I do believe it means something. I just don't know what yet, but I see the number everywhere. You could say it guides me and I'm drawn to it. If it has the number 28 then it's right for me.

Okay... This is really creepy... ever since my grandmother has passed away...(which she was born March 28th) I have been seeing the number 28 almost everyday. It started taking over my life I believe..not sure in a good way or bad just yet. She passed away in 2002 though and I kid you not at least once a day I will see the time 3:28..and its not like im purposely waiting for the time to pass to his 3:28. Last year when I moved into my apartment my garage parking number was 28. The number right across from my apt was 228. I just dont understand if I should be concerned! any ideas? helpppp!!!!!!! I feel like the number is getting to me.....

I have to write in also because I don't understand it. 28 has been following me for all my life. I was born on the 28th of October at 8:20. I swear to you all everything I have experienced in life is more than just a coincidence with this number. And after my grandmother passed also, on the 28th of November at 82 years old I have seen it more than ever. Tell me how to the last day I was at my job - I got laid off - I worked 28 months and 28 days? How does that happen?

I'm convinced this number is magical

by Anonymous - 6/20/11 9:27 PM

I had a conversation with my Dads sister and she mentioned my grandmas B-day was Sept. 28th. A few days later I went to my Moms mothers grave for the first time in years. Her tombstone read Sept. 28th as her B-day also. So both my grandmothers share a B-day with me. When I look over to the tombstone next to hers their was a man of no relation to our family with a B-day of Sept. 28th. Coincidence or am I trying to be told something. The next day I was talking to my best friend and she mentioned her B-day this month and it happens to fall on the 28th also. Lots of emotions going through me...its been a tough year but I'm convinced something is going to come about in my life with regards to this wonderful number 28. Glad to know I'm not the only one researching this number was beginning to think I was too idealistic.

hello, I finally had to look up the number 28, for some kind of meaning. It is always popping up. No matter when I look at the clock, it is always 28 min. after. It comes up every where I look. Many years back I had a dream and saw the number 28 very clearly. I do not know its significance but I feel comfortable with this number, I like this number. I feel some kind of deep attachment to this number. Anyway just thought I'd share that. juliarose Canada, Alberta

by Oneofthe28s - 7/23/11 3:16 PM

I have the same thing.
28 pops up everywhere...from licence plates to the min on the clock.
Some months the occurance is less, but some days it shows many times a day.

I do know it is a good sign, it seems it will inform about special things to happen.

by untwentyeight - 7/04/11 11:56 PM

Firstly, I don't even know why I have found this page on the internet.
Further, after reading some of your comments, I started to think of some examples where 28 has 'come into my life'. You know something, I can't think of one single moment or memory or milestone or anything even remotely significant to the number 28 during my life or people close to me.
Now that is wierd. Is there something wrong with me?

Google Number "28". Look up the Wiki on it.
Uncanny. Almost spooky.
I embrace the number.
Remember that movie with Jim Carrey called "23"?
I believe it is something that if you let yourself be mindful it can happen with many other things as well, but this number is my rabbit's foot and kind of a fascination.
