42'000 migrants to be used by tyson to make bug based meat

by Rexx - 3/23/24 12:56 PM

here because 42k migrants are going to be used to make bug based food for the masses to eat. so fitting "they" which ALWAYS use numbers to communicate something outside the official story, would choose that number.

42?

by Saved2023 - 4/25/23 1:29 AM

I was cleaning a couple of days ago and stumbled across some folded papers. I saw the number 42 printed on a card with pickles. Idk, it just stood out to me, but I forgot to research it's meaning until now. I am in the process of filing for a divorce and I asked God how long it would be before I remarry. The number 4 came to mind. Then, I starred thinking that in 4 years I will be 42. 42! There goes that number again.

What does it mean? 42

by D - 1/19/22 11:14 PM

I made a slight invention that Ive used over the years for numerology in consideration of the English alphabet.

1-9 like Pythagorus, however I gave each letter a value more specific.

So A for example is 1, and Z is 26/8 or 8, instead of merely 8.

The 8th letter of the alphabet is H, but it is not 26, its just 8.

The concept here is to show that every letter is different, but can have a corresponding vibrational relationship with other letters that come out to a similar/identical numerical value/vibration.

Sound and Shape would have been better but how to measure this? Right. So I use this limited but useful sequential method.

ANYWAY, what does this have to do with 42. Well the constellation LIBRA (the scales, weighing of things, balancing of things) adds up to 42.

L = 12, I = 9, B = 2, R = 18, A = 1

Add them and you get 42 or 6. No other constellation on the ecliptic gives 42. Based on the other descriptions and stories I see here - there is a clear correlation to weighing and measuring of... more...

One is very grateful for your comment.
One reincarnated on the soil of Ukraine, 24 years ago by the destiny of my soul moved to the south East/ NC of the united States of America ( 24/ 42)
From October 21, 2021, we are decoding #42/ 24 - bc it's heavy coded into creation of Ukraine, current war and the future. The new bloody phase of war started on February 24(???????? independence day - August 24,1991) The fake government of Ukraine( every "country" is a corporation) on September 6, 2022, = #666 passed genocidal law under #4142 = 11 or 41- 42 for forced vax(only 30% ???????? have vax before Jesuits roll the war). I would love for you to share with me more of your knowledge for #24, 41, 42, also #44 - # people in(from Wikipedia) = # element Rhutenium = old name for western Ukraine.
One knew about incoming war 4 months and 2 days before it started, but I couldn't tell anyone.
Today, we came across with this educational website and your comment.
Thank you??

Imagine, if you can, being incarcerated or tortured with no knowledge of duration, and the limited comfort provided by the knowledge of time limitations. ie. Being tortured without a clock, Sun or reference to the passage of time ... the eternity of Hell.
In the past, people were inadvertently buried alive (comatose, maybe) and awakening in a closed casket.

I had a experience.. it started with using meditation(TM) improperly and going into sleep paralysis and trance like states at night. I had also radically changed my patterns of thought. Extremely low stress and love oriented.

My days were filled with what seemed like magic, my nights i began hallucinating during sleep paralysis. Having dreams of a destroied earth. Of talking with god(he looked like The Dude lol.. and being told if too many know and he raises his hands and asteroids fall.

I began reaserching all religions around the same time. I never believed in magic, or religion.

I had these coincidences like you would not believe and still do. I had a dream of a golden deer. The next day a neghibor tells me there will be a deer tomorrow.The next day I told a man not to come work at my house because i was tired. he shows up anyway with deer meat.

I have recognized the number 42 since I was 7 and I am now 22: ironic age right my fellow 42 visioners? Haha I even have the number tattooed over my heart on my chest. Its nice to run across this blog and see that others like me also recognize this number.
I find the majority of the posts contain question after question, panic, or sincere confusion over why we are seeing 42. You are only "haunted" by 42 if you allow yourself to be "haunted" by it. One person says its a curse and the next says its a gift, then the other says its a sign.
In my humble opinion, 42 is equal, 42 is honest, and 42 just makes plain sense.. so why over analyze something that magically works..? why over analyze something that has balance and flows so easily into our lives on a daily basis? That's the point! Don't!
No matter what way you take it, at the end of the day all that can be said is you're currently reading this blog in search for an answer, but in the great words from the hitchhikers guide.. what exactly is your question?... more...

The first six prime numbers

by Gregory - 4/23/21 2:14 AM

In the Book of Numbers, Chapter 35, The Lord spoke unto Moses:

6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

If:
The first six prime numbers plus one equals 42.
2+3+5+7+11+13+(1)=42
Then:
The real numbers in between minus one equals 48.
4+6+8+9+10+12-(1)=48

I have been seeing 42 for approximately 4 years. Just as others in this post mentioned, I see it multiple times a day. I, too, have lost much in the last few years. I lost my home, and now some property that I own seems to be escaping me. Prior to this happening, the Lord spoke to me one day (about 4 years ago) and told me that I was 42 and to read the book in the Bible with 42 chapters. I searched the Bible and found out that the Book was Job. The day after he told me that I was 42, I had lunch with some friends. At the table we were discussing our ages. My childhood friend said, "You're 42, right?" I said, "42"? Why would you think I am 42 when she should know that both of us are in our late 50's. She said, I keep hearing the Lord say that you are 42. I was totally shocked by her statement, but it was confirmation of what the Lord had said to me the previous day. I have been searching to understand what this number means and why I was chosen to be 42. It is bewildering and there is not a day... more...

number 42

by April - 5/29/20 4:14 PM

I have long felt a strongly negative association with the number 42, and also a slightly negative association with 42 to 43, but in the main it has been 42. The Bible speaks of the number three and a half in several places as an ominous sign, or with negative associations. Three years are 36 months and a half a year, 6 months which total 42 months.

Hello April. My night vision occurred at age 42. My day vision occurred at age 43. My apartment is 4342 Spring Park. My night vision occurred 7.16.19. Those add up to 42. My purity birthdate is 4/20, so my last day with my Bride was 4/19. There is a huge transition from 19 to 20. 2000 years. The wars and rumors of wars occurred in the 1900's, 20th century, COVID - 19 in '20, 5 planets will be lined up on 7/19/20, a month prior America celebrated the emancipation of slavery for the first time on 6/19/20. Here is where it gets good. There were 19 total kings of Israel and 20 of Judah after the divided kingdom. King David had 19 boys, 20 children total. The difference for both is one girl. David had one daughter and Judah had one queen.

The Son and Daughter of David are here. I can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Feel free to visit my Facebook page - Justus Almond Williams. Also my You Tube Channel Saint Justus Martyr. I am about to add a very important one today.

Numbers 33 stops and consumes most of an entire chapter just to record the names of the places Israel journeyed...


"5 The Israelites left Rameses and camped at Succoth.
6 They left Succoth and camped at Etham, on the
edge of the desert. 7 They left Etham, turned back to
Pi Hahiroth....." (Num 33:5-7)


Why is this info recorded? On and on for 42 places? Do these names have any spiritual significance? Yes. In fact they hold the keys to understanding several important issues:

And 42 is in my pin which I didn’t realize until 42 started haunting me. All day... everyday! When I am not thinking about it I look at the clock and it’s 11:42... or 1:42.... ugh! I have researched it so much and no answer!!! Drives me crazy!

42 Spiritual Calling

by Diana - 4/18/16 12:43 AM

42 isn't a bad omen. I have always dreamed of numbers which till last year I thought were lucky lottery numbers. But I never did win 😂. I couldn't understand why I would see numbers in my dreams. But after a bit of research I discovered numbers are actually a form of communication from the spiritual realm. I'm a Christian so believe it's Gods way of guiding us and showing us our true life's purpose. This is the meaning of number 42 that I read on website scared scribes angel numbers

Angel Number 42 is a message from your angels about pursuing your passions and life purpose. When you do things you love, and put your heart and soul towards achieving your goals, the angels give you guidance and assistance every step of the way.

The repeating Angel Number 42 is a message from your angels indicating that you are to maintain faith and trust, and know that your prayers have been heard and are being answered. Your angels are working very closely with you and are assisting with achieving your success. ... more...

42 and the ultimate engineered solar system

by Nick - 4/13/19 6:00 AM

Interestingly enough I ran into this number while doing some non related research. Since I can not provide a link to my source here I will simply quote the author to explain.

"Sean Raymond, a US astrophysicist based in Bordeaux, France

In his post, Raymond discusses how the planets need to be positioned to ensure their gravity does not cause havoc – known as the Hill radius. This limits the number of concentric orbital planes you can have around a star before a system becomes unstable.

He found that, theoretically, a Sun-like star could support 42 planets in a single orbital plane. Around our own Sun, you could have six rings of 42 in the habitable zone, giving us 252 planets."

Sometimes, I check the clock to see the number 4:20, several times a week. It happens enough that it can't just be a stoner joke anymore (I don't smoke the stuff anyway, never got the appeal). It's just a matter of how many times a coincidence has to happen for it to no longer be a coincidence? 4:20AM, or 4:20PM, I generally catch a glimpse of it at either time (thanks to my screwy sleep cycle, which doesn't seem to negatively affect me thank God). What purpose do these three numbers serve together, and beyond the surface 'world' we live in, what spiritual significance does it serve? What about 666? We're already well beyond the "oh it's just random coincidence" since we're on this site, it probably means something deeper.
