Properties of the number 999

---

Symbolism

• The justice, the truth.

• In some texts sacred or esoteric, 999 represents the infinitely large, just as 999999.

General

• By undertaking circular permutations of the numbers composing the mysterious number 153, this gives place to six possible combinations: 153, 315, 531 and 351, 135, 513. And:

                           153 + 315 + 531 = 999
                           351 + 135 + 513 = 999
  

• The number 999 is the reverse of 666, the number of the Beast of the Revelation (Apocalypse). This arithmetical strangeness demonstrates that the "power" of the Beast, 666, will be "reversed" by 153, characteristic number of the Christ, to give as result 999, symbol of the application of the divine justice. Thus Satan will be chained for 1000 years, 999 + 1.

• The number 666 to the power 5 gives 131,030,122,140,576. And 131+030+122+140+576 = 999.

Gematria

• By using as correspondence table A=1, B=2, ..., J=10, K=20, L=30, ..., S=100, T=200, ..., Z=800, we find that the French words "COMMUNAUTE" (community) and "Marie de l'Incarnation" ("Mary the Incarnation") give each 999.

• The numerical value of the Hebrew word ShKBTh ZRGh, meaning sperm or seed, gives 999.
