Properties of the number 48

Symbolism

• According to R. Allendy, "it is the ratio of the initiation, 8, with the natural law of the Cosmos, 40". Product of 4 x 12, it would express the development of the mutual relations in the nature. And as product of 7 x 8, it would show the holiness found in the payment of Karma.

• J. Boehme sees there the symbol of the "divine Humanity".

• Represent "the spiritual man uniting himself to the divine power 8 and 7 to be delivered of his material obstacles", according to Claude of Saint-Martin.

Bible

• Forty eight was the total number of towns for the Levites in Israelite territory, with their pasture lands. (Jos 21,41)

General

• The 48 petals of each of the two petals of the Ajna Chakra located between the two eyebrows.

• The Earth - and all what constitutes it - would be submitted to 48 laws, according to Ouspensky. The caucasian G. Gurdjieff claims the same thing by asserting that the Earth would be submitted to 48 forces by taking account of the Sun, the moon, the planets, all the worlds and the Absolute. In the same way, according to Samael Aun Weor, the terrestrial man lives in a world subjected to 48 laws. But "below us, under the surface of the Earth, exist worlds of 96 and 192 forces and several others, that are enormously more complicated and terribly materialists, and where one does not remember even more than the Will of the Absolute exists." With the involution of the souls, their life becomes more complicated with an increasingly large number of laws. Conversely, through the "Revolution of the Conscience", the evolving souls are released themselves from the 48, the 24, the 12 and finally from the 6 laws to enter at the end in the Absolute.

• The ancient peoples recognized 48 constellations, grouped in bands of 24 each one, in the two hemispheres.

• In the ancient measure of length, the cubit counted 48 "fingers".

• Here is a magic square of sixteen boxes, bases 48, containing only the numbers 8, 16 and 24.

                                 24  0  0 24
                                  8 16 16  8
                                 16  8  8 16
                                  0 24 24  0
  

Occurrence

• The number 48 is used 2 times in the Bible.

• The four Gospels and the Revelation use on the whole 48 different numbers, which are: 1 to 12, 14, 15, 18, 24, 25, 30, 38, 40, 42, 46, 50, 60, 72, 77, 80, 84, 99, 100, 144, 153, 200, 300, 500, 666, 1000, 1260, 1600, 2000, 4000, 5000, 7000, 10000, 12000, 20000, 144000 and 200000000.

• The word queen is used 48 times in the Bible - 44 times in the OT and 4 times in the NT.

I usually dream about numbers and animals and whenever i look up its meaning I usually follow it. I believe its God's way of talking to me.

With these news and prediction of a huge quake coming soon I was thinking I hope it wont happen.but this dream of mine kinda bothers me knowing that these news are going out around the internet. So I had a dream about a month ago. It was Easter Sunday, I was hiking on an island with the view of the ocean, lots of people on the beach swimming, parasailing and being happy. then a heard a huge sound, followed by a very bright light from the sky. People looked at the sky including me, there were images. on the left side was Morgan Freeman (yeah, thats really weird.Probably from watching too much natgeo.He got a show there talking about Gods), in the middle was an image of a woman holding a child, and on the right was a demon image looking down to the earth. then a voice of a guy said "on the 48th day, the world will end".

with the weird things going on with nature lately, this kind of dream really bothers me.

Seeing it for years

by Anonymous - 4/24/22 6:56 AM

When I was about 12 years old i started to look at my watch always at times …:48 every day. It became more and more present. I saw the number everywhere. This went on for years, it became less and then more again. I thought maybe my inner clock told me to check the time on certain times but I was once in a Bus seeing the time 19:48 when I looked at the clock in there. Then I checked my clock on my phone and it turned out it wasn’t actually 19:48. A few weeks later my mother died on 04.08.2018 from cancer. Did I know her date of dying years ago? After that the number still shows up once in a while but a new one …:22 has started to show more often.

I had personal revelation of Jesus Christ back in the year 2000. I accepted him as lord and savior ever since then I have been seeing the number 48 all of the time when I least expect it. I would look to see what time it is on my watch and it would be on 48 seconds or the minute would be 48. I checked the weather on tv and it was 48 degrees. I traveled to Wilmington Delaware and route 48 runs through there. I traveled to a town called Tyrone here in Pennsylvania and we got off on exit 48. I came here to the Salvation army here in pittsbhurg and I saw a route 48 here in the area somewhere. While driving Back to the salvation army one day we were behind bus number 48. It goes right passed the Salvation army on Carson st and now the room I am in has a locker with a sticker on it the race driver whose number is 48. I thought I was crazy but now I believe it is God letting me know that everything that i have been seeing is real.

Look up first place in Bible
Where is those numbers if at all are they used Read the context and search to see if it’s relevant or speaks to your life’s circumstances. For instance I did this with the number 818 my husbands bd was 818 but there was more
I saw it for weeks ! Tags phone numbers sales receipts ( I was a waitress) it all came to a knowing when I got a call one Sunday evening at 8pm . The place I worked the previous five plus years and the main source of my families income was scheduled to close . Mind u I was given no heads up about that other then this phone call that came in . He said he was sorry to tell me but the Resturant was closing and when I asked when he said tonight was the last night and I can pick up my final pay at one the next day ! I was 😳 shocked ! I got off the phone and prayed I was like God I want to trust u and not be afraid I want to trust U and know U will provide for my family. I got done praying and opened my cell phone and it was 818 I was like... more...

Product of 7x8=56

by Mordecai Chaddeus - 1/27/20 4:52 PM

Hello and great day to you! I want to let you know that I love your site and value it tremendously! It helps with the vast amount of syncretic research that we do and assists is in placing number values with our correlating information. I noticed, however, that for the number 48 you have it listed as the product of 7x8 rather than 6x8. I wondered if there was something I was missing or if it was a simple typo. Great day to you! Namaste!

The spirit of God lives within you it's up to you to revive the sleeping spirit by replacing egotistical reactions and emotions with love based reactions and emotions you can slow revive the sleeping spirit then you will realize that these answers you are seeking for are within you because the spirit is within you only trust the spirit not anyone else's word about this information that you requested don't know what resonates with you cuz it'll just feel right like when a string on a guitar is perfectly in tune I know this because I went through the same thing you're going through the last five years I've been seeing repeating same numbers 48 is a very strong 117 but that's besides the point I've asked everybody and everything looked on the internet and really found no definitive answers until I started meditating and facing my shadow side a controlling my ego replace it with empathy love compassion gratitude and you'll find your answers. Blessings God loves us all

The number 48

by ONF - 12/06/18 12:32 PM

I came across something awhile back, that said the number 48 would be associated with the returning Messiah. Interestingly, if you break the number down - it means "For Eternity" - the number 8 is an infinity symbol. And "Jesus is forever". Kinda weird.

Also, February 17th is the 48th day of the year. Isn't there a thing in Genesis, about the 17th day of the 2nd month having to do with God's Judgement? Just some random thoughts.

RE: Number 48 several times a day

by Anonymous - 1/08/19 1:02 AM

My father died when he was 48 years, 11 months, and 13 days on Christmas Eve. Two years later my aunt died on Christmas Eve at 28. (I never paid much attention to the details that went along with her passing, but I think it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.) It's strange, I can't seem to get the exact number of days my father died out of my mind: You see, I was only 13 years old at that time, and I'm 75 years old now. One would think after 62 years, I would have forgotten by now. In one more year, the number 76 will be 13, if broken down numerologically. I tend to believe that 13 is lucky because it is the closing of something old and the beginning of something new: In regards to the Last Supper with the number of people involved (13), ask yourself this question: Wasn't it better that Jesus die and go to His new life in heaven than to stay here on this earth with the old life? Common sense tells me that something good came from His leaving the old. I do believe that something good came from my father leaving the old life also. And, even if it's my turn when I'm 76, the blessing will be my own. I'm just curious as to what else is connected with these numbers: I think it will be good because I dreamed a huge fish jumped into my lap just two days ago.

I love this number.

by Anonymous - 9/15/18 7:59 AM

I am from India, I love someone and from last 6 years I am in love with her but unfortunately I did not mention her that I love her, still she is with someone but not married. I see this 48 everywhere, each and every action on mine is connected with 48 anyhow. My parent phone number have 48. My room mates accidently choose 48 number as example to exaplain something where has has infinite possibilty of choosing any number. I don't know what all these means but I like to know more about it.
If anyone you all can give some information about it, that would be greate for me.

It could mean she is your queen. Are you looking for permission to tell her how you feel? why leave yourself with regret? I will try to check back but this could deffinatly be a good omen from the creator of the universe who speaks with love to the love in you responding without good intentions a great way to find the answer for yourself is read the new testament of jesus christ. I am someone who has been seeing these "signs" numbers for quite some time now and I have found success in trying to follow in his ways. All you need is patience and the willingness to be the best you can be.

Number 48

by Anonymous - 6/26/18 8:28 AM

I have been seeing the number 48 pop up everyday, for the past year. I don't know what it is for. My fatger, who passed away almost 20 years ago, was born in 1948. Could it be his way of saying, "I'm here?" Before this, I would frequently gave dreams about him. The dreams stopped, when the number 48 started showing up.

training exams

by Roxanne - 11/23/16 12:49 PM

I have been doing training exams to prepare myself for a big test and all my results up to now are always 48%. I do some big efforts when studying and try different types of studying, but i always get this 48% mark following me. Not only that i don't even get the 60% mark to at least pass, but i wonder how it can be related to these symbolism meanings and definitions...

The 48 Gods

by Anonymous - 1/17/17 1:11 PM

I see 48 all day, every day. I can never get away from it. The 48 overlords have blessed me with this beautiful gift. Sometimes I even use ouija boards to communicate directly with them. I also constantly have dreams about seeing 48 for the first time. I imagine that it is the greatest thing to ever happen to a person. Additionally, I have used demonic rituals to sacrifice my blood. 48 is immortal. 48 will never die. All hail 48.

My OCD causes me to do things 48 times,I don't know why but I used to love 48 and think it was lucky but now only bad things are followed by the number 48, I HATE 48 so much since what it causes. It always follows me.

RE:48

by RE 48 - 2/27/16 10:35 AM

To each of you not liking the number 48, it may be a calling for you to seek God and your Savior. Bad things happen because they are times we usually turn to God in prayer, draw you closer to God.....I read while searching the meaning of 48 that it is bad but it is a number calling us to renounce ourselves to the "worldly" things and seek selflessness. That is the walk I am walking now and BOOM I was given that number for me too seek and it affirmed what I am doing. God is mysterious and if you love mystery, I challenge you to walk HIS walk and see HIS light and HIS way. It is a pretty awesome journey. Good luck but most of all GOD BLESS.....

On a day this year, I wished a friend a silent happy birthday with my thoughts. She turned 48 that day and I feel like I've fallen in love with her and she is often in my thoughts, as if communicating with me. Sounds crazy, but I'd love to know if it's really her. God bless

But below us under the surface of the earth is worlds of 96 the teaching explains.. In In reference to when the Lord revealed that I was little fire his son and the sun was in magnificent of him being the actual sun.. (hot).. the father of Jesus Christ a consuming fire.. In my first years of college this experiencing came about.. but below us is the world of 96 a complication which equates getting back to simplicity.. A opportunity given from the Lord. Nine for birth and six for man.. Why was man born..? What is are purpose...? In conclusion the word queen is used 48 times in the bible... That in which Jesus was born of a woman in begging come why he was born.! Relic/Terrill TC

compiliations of number sequences and music

by Mellodee Rose'Spirit - 11/02/14 12:50 AM

I need to thank you for this study, as God had given me a number that represents who I am, as I asked him to since numbers do not lie. In doing so, it came to be the number 48. A number I am.unfamiluar with, and could not figure its meaning in either aramaic nor hebrew. I read your study and new why God chose 48 as my number. The significance of the number 48 being of the forces, laws, and worlds that confound our souls is itrinsic to solving the mystery of life being lived in the holy spirit and not under the laws of man. Fairly speaking I shall add how compiling the evidence of numbers always returns us to the world outside the box, or as I call it the matrix of life. Thank you id love to study all your work and publishings all you put online id love to have a list or website to receive more instruction as to the direction a number is leading me. Thank you for releasing my soul from THE SIX LAWS OF SIN.
