Properties of the number 53

Symbolism

• Represent the sanctification of the human nature.

General

• In the recitation of the rosary, the prayer of the Ave Maria is repeated 53 times. Moreover, the prayer of the Pater is told 17 times in the Rosary, this one being composed of three rosaries. And 53 is the 17th prime number (counting the number one).

• The September 19, 1846, the Virgin Mary appeared to Salette in France, at two children, Melanie and Maximin, who received secrets to be revealed only in 1858. Melanie has been learned that Lucifer, with a multitude of demons, would be loosened of the hell in 1864, that they would destroy the faith, that Rome would lose the faith and would become the seat of the Antichrist. And 53 years after 1864, that is to say after the release of Lucifer and a multitude of demons, the Virgin Mary appears for the first time on May 13, 1917 in Fatima to three young shepherds revealing to them a secret divided in three parts of which two only were revealed in the whole world. In her messages, Mary speaks about the red Dragon of Russia which she asks the consecration to her Immaculate Heart. Otherwise, Russia will spread its errors through the world, causing wars and the persecution of the Church.

• In the ceremony of the mass, the prayer of the "gloria Patri" (in Latin) has 34 letters and the prayer which answers it, "sicut erat", has 53 letters.

• The Jews did not read any more the chapter 53 of Isaiah. Formerly, indeed, this passage was precisely called "the bad conscience of synagogues". Isaiah announced that Israel would reject the Messiah that it waited (Is 53,1-3), because this one would not be covered of the royal splendor, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;", "And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken." (Is 53,7-8).

• According to W. Keller, in his book "La Bible arrachée aux sables" (The Bible extracted from the sands), we read: "Babylon was not only the capital businesses but also a religious metropolis. An inscription reveals that there had 53 temples devoted to the great gods, 55 chapels of Marduk, 300 chapels for the divinities of the earth, 600 for those of the sky, 180 altars for the Ishtar goddess, 180 for the gods Nergal and Adad, and 12 for others divinities". That makes a total of 1380.

• The First World War lasted 53 month, from June 28, 1914 with the attack to Sarajero, until Austria proclaims the republic and its return to Germany, November 11, 1918.

• The Africa has 53 countries, independent for the majority since the Sixties.

Lost 4 loved ones at 53

by Anonymous - 10/01/11 7:31 AM

I have lost the four people who meant the most to me at 53, my mother, father, oldest brother and most recently, this past sunday, my beloved husband. I always though of 53 as a bad number, after having read how significant the number is to religion and spiritual life, I now understand it is not a bad number but a magical number.

I had a dream that I received a bill for the delivery of a baby back in 1950 (before I was born). The invoice said that the past due amount had been reduced but that I still owed 53 cents.

Today is May 21 2011 It was supposed to be the end of the world apparently, I just got a text message from the number "53"..the message wrote "53" I went to email this link to my grandmother on my email account and came to realize I have 666 emails in my inbox, it may have not been the end of the world but today meant something..the beggining of the end is what I get from it all.

I ALWAYS see the number 53 and it's been in my life since i was young. it gets extremely strange sometimes. i'm always checking the clock or waking up and it will be something: "53". my friends think i'm psychic because I've made people do dares and things as a party trick by rolling "5" and "3" with dice constantly. . . it's also pretty weird that we all searched this so close together when this link is pretty old. . idk about you guys but i'm going to use my powers for good not evil.
