by Merle - 1/09/13 6:53 PM

Re my question on the above subject, it does say that I had two replies but I couldn't find them. However , I suddenly remembered the names I was looking for . The name of the place the meeting took place is "Del Monico"'which was in Riebeek St. Cape Town. It did take place in 1956 (Nov 1956). Roland Roberts was hanged in Pretoria in 1957.

Is it at all possible for me to receive an answer to my question in regards to the killing of Clara Arkin on Cape Town South Africa in 1956? I have on this page 1 reply, but I cannot seem to reach it. I would be very grateful, if I can have this information.

I as well have been seeing the # 57 and my 3rd period class so happens to be room 57! There is something not right and maybe we all are just looking at the clock at the right time, but seeing it on peoples t-shirts, movies, on clocks and other places is just too much to just say " It's just a number." I think its a symbol for something that will happen in the near furture, but alot has happened since then.

The number 57 is the month and day of my birthday. I was born in may 7,1990. May is the fifth month and 7 is the day i was born. Im always seeing this number and its staring to get a bit weird. There hasent been a day that i havent seen this number for quite a time now. I see it in movies, work, tv, time, clothes, food, prices, anything you can think of.

I've been seeing the number 57 for over a month since 11:57 December 31, 2011. I don't know what it means but ever since then i always see the clock at **:57, i always see it in math and reading books, and just everywhere, i hope its a good sign and it freaks me out though because 5+7= 12,like 2012, if i didn't see the clock at 11:57 i wouldn't ever saw the year turn to 2012 and that's one of my things my family does, but i hope i will find out why this happens and understand what this means:)

Roland Roberts – South Africa

The specialist who examined Roland Roberts, an 18-year-old South African sailor, concluded that he had behavioural problems – Roberts habitually chewed his beard and smashed his head against lockers or walls. The specialist prescribed a mild sedative.
Two months later, in December 1956, Roberts met Clara Arkin, 47, in a Cape Town pub, and suggested they spend the night together. She refused, so he raped her and stabbed her to death.
Brought to trial for murder, Roberts claimed that he felt “justified” in killing the woman. He was found guilty and hanged in Pretoria on Friday, November 8th, 1957.

This number in my life

by Anonymous - 8/21/12 9:39 PM

This number is definitely associated with my life!! To the point where I actually say the novena for the "poor souls in purgatory". Absolutely apart of me, not trivial at all.

And I didn't say the Novena after discovering this website. I found the novena booklet in college and started saying the prayers, only to find out later that the number 57 was associated with it.

Same thing happens to me all the time. 57 keeps popping up in clocks, waing list numbers, documents, etc. Seem to look at the odometer every time mileage turns a 57. Haven't quite figured it out yet. I'm sure it has some significance.

I thought it was just me, this is the first time I've heard of anyone else with this unexplained phenomenom. I've been seeing the number 57 in different mediums since I first was aware of it at the age of 17, (I'm now 51), but for me it comes sporadically, like maybe 6 months will go by and then the number starts coming up like popcorn usually lasting 1 to 3 days. But it's always startling, like the number is screaming at me trying to tell me something!

57 Follows me...I've taken it to be a good thing. 5 and 7 tend to be lucky numbers. I know this is weird but I'll tell you anyway; when I was 15 I used to joke with my 5 year old little sister that I need to take a "57." We used this for needing to go "number 2" very badly. (As in...go poop!) At 5 years old she would make up bathroom definitions for a "number 3" or "number 4." She got kind of out of hand so I started to make fun of her and say "O No! I gotta take a 57" The number just kind of stuck. It was a really weird way to come upon it, but ever since we have both been seeing it EVERYWHERE. We point it out to friends and family and they have even recognized its frequency. I am now 25 and my little sister is 15.
I see it every where and have recognized it as a lucky number as I mentioned early. When my favorite basketball team hits 57 points before the other team, they have a very high percentage of going on to win. My car gets its highest fuel efficiency at 57 miles per hour. It is the average... more...

My birth is 8/11/1957,so i can throw some light on 57,/Today in History for Year 1757,read this,/Freedom Struggle In India,Freedom Struggle Of 1857,History /November 8 – Film Jailhouse Rock opens across the U.S. to reach #3, and Elvis Presley continues to gain more notoriety/the no.57 is associated with future events and believes in freedom,meeting people,/i think sex plays a vital role with no 57///

I have been seeing same numbers over and over lately like never before. For example, I saw #57 five times when I glanced at my car dashboard - temperature 57F, total miles xxx57, current trip miles x57, time xx:57, speed 57. I'm starting to look around for the meanings as I believe there must be some... Just a guidance to all - you are not crazy and believe your inner instincts, try not letting others getting to you when they do not believe you...trust your intuition :)

57 meaning

by Kat - 11/29/11 2:28 PM

I had the same thing happen last year with the number 44 so I bought a book someone told me about Angel Numbers. The meaning for 57 is "The changes you are experiencing are for the best. Trust these changes to lead you where you want to go." The number 7 in general kind of shows that you are on the right path.

I've been seeing 57 quite a bit these days myself. The other day I was driving behind a car with the license plate "5757." When I bought ice cream the other day, I got .57 in change. Yesterday at Target, a nail polish got mistakenly included in my order - the color was "570." I am being followed by 57! What is going on?!!!

First I saw the 11's,then 17 and 47,soon after the 57's appeared now it's the 7's.I seem to see them all now,can't figure it out.To be honest it irritates me,is there a meaning to this or is it just my internal clock?Either way it's a mystery to me.

I cant find a single bible translation (including on your links) that has the word "moon" listed as appearing 57 times. This bit of info is vital to me, can you please tell me how it is that you came to this conclusion? Thanks.

The NIV, NASB, and ESV all show 57 occurrences of "moon" in the OT alone, plus 10 in the NT, for a total of 67.
