• It is at the age of 24 years old that Jesus entered in Perse, according to the Gospel of the Aquarius.

• Saint Ann was 24 years old when she taken as husband saint Joachim. They were the parent of the Virgin Mary, according to visions of Mary Agreda.

• Twenty four is the number of biblical books of the Old Testament - Hebrews and Protestants. This number is obtained by counting for only one book the twelve minor prophets, as well as Judges, Kings, Ezra, Chronicles - each one being generally divided in two books. It is also the calculation of the Talmud of Babylon.

• According to the Zend-Avesta, Zervane, the time without milestone, had produced two great gods, Ormaz and Ahriman; the first, pure being and good by excellence, creative word, principle of life, symbolized by the light; the other, impure and perverse, destructive word, principle of death, symbolized by darkness. After having created his celestial army, to direct it, Ormaz created 24 gods (Yazatas or celestial spirits) whom he placed in an egg, in order to communicate to them an invincible energy in a powerful divine incubation. Ahriman retaliated immediately by producing 24 opposite spirits (demons or daevas) which pierced the egg and entailed under their standards half of the rebellious phalanges to the yoke of the good principle.

• The 24 runes of the runic alphabet which each one has a divinatory senses and a magical power.

However, we find in the Revelation the expression "ten thousand times ten thousand" (Rv 5,11) to mean a number immensely high or innumerable. If we consider it then as a potential number, the total numbers used in the Revelation is not 24 but well 25. But in the NRSV, the number 80 in the Revelation does not exist: instead of "80 pounds", it is rather "talent" (Rv 16,21). In revelations of Maria Valtorta, Jesus declares concerning these numbers that "in times to come will shine the truth on the numbers still obscure written in the Revelation, numbers which are there to indicate the Perfection and the infinite Sanctity, and also the Impiety without measure".

• The number 7 is used 24 times in the Koran.

RE: time i was born

by JD - 9/30/20 1:06 AM

I was born at 10:37 am on June 9th 1978. So 6-9 which is similar to the yin and yang and Im Gemini so Im the embodiment of duality and 6 is Venus's # and 9 is Mars's # and Venus is my planetary sub ruler and I have Mars in my first house which is its home. My Mars is in Leo,the sun,and my Venus is in Cancer, the moon. But here's where it gets weird, my birthday, 6-9, is the 78th degree of the Zodiac and I was born 1978. 6+9=15 and 7+8=15 and 1+5=6. I have two f's in my name and two o's which are the 6th and 15th letter of the alphabet. 6×4=24. And my name number before you break it down is 266 and 95 reduced to two digits. The 266th day of the year is 9-23, fall equinox, and 2+3=5 so 95. And the 266th day of the Zodiac Dec 18th which is 26° Sagittarius,my grandfathers birthdate,and the ° that marks galactic center, and that leaves 99 days left in the Zodiac year. The 95th day of the Zodiac is 6-26. I could go on and on but Im starting to come off as the dude from the movie Pi or Jim Carry's character in the film 23 so Im gonna pump the breaks here but its been real and I encourage everyone to investigate the depth of their own numerology. It could blow your mind a number of ×! Dueces!

my bracelet has 24 stones gems

by Wong - 12/21/17 6:42 PM

I am Chinese, my bracelet has 23 stones gems at first and it fits my hand size perfectly, but after that my father say 24 is a very good number, so i change my bracelet to 24 stones gems.
When the bracelet has 23 stones gems i feel energetic, secured and good, after i changed to 24 stones gems i feel down and negative feel like hatred. Also my bracelet size increased and looks bigger on my hand.
What can i do? Why is it like that?

I see the number 24 every hour as well and it began with 1024! I still see the 1024 constantly but not near as much as 24. It surrounds my life... My birthday my son who passed away birthday adds to equal 24.. When he was buried.. When I graduated got married... My phone number the age I was when my son died the worst year of my life.. That year was 2014 that mixed around can be 1024.. Its on old paperwork lots dated the 24th of the month when my bible was given to me as a child.. The 24th.. It goes on and on I see it in expiration dates and my bill amounts.. Clocks are often way off on their time and I'll look and tey say 10:24 or 24 after??/ its been happening for years and people I'm sure think I'm crazy! Why is this happening ? What does it mean?

This number plays a significant role in my life. Favorite nba players were antonio mcdyess and walt williams, the later who my wife attended school with and her and walts sister are good friends. my wife birthday is on 4/24. when i was living in a homless shelter(2003-2004) the room i was assigned was room 4. then when i started working and was able to move into my own room upstairs at the shelter i was given room #24. speaking of my job at that time, it was security and my unit/radio number was 24. from the shelter i rented an apt in with my brother. The building number was 13305 and the apt number was 24! it seems unreal. not sure if my life path number(8) has anything to do with it but its weird. Not too many correlations with the number nowaday, although i just roll with the number knowing what i know now
