The symbolism of numbers has helped people from generation to generation increase their level of spirituality. Unlocking numerical mysteries have allowed for mere mortals to obtain wisdom and revelation that is virtually unattainable from the three-dimensional realm of earth.
The key to receiving new knowledge from numbers is known as gematria. Gematria is an alpha-numeric system in which letters are given a numerical value. Then, entire words could be calculated in order to give you a deeper meaning of them.
However, gematria works extremely well with cultures that utilize their letters as numbers from a mathematical scale. For example, the Greek language uses their alphabet as numbers. You can find out so many things about numerics from how the Greek language was used in various texts from antiquity.
For example, the number seven is considered to be the luckiest number in the world. Lucky number seven. In casinos, the number seven is used as a ploy to entice people to gamble. To win in craps, you have to roll a seven on your first roll. On a variety of slot machines, the jackpot is normally three seven’s.
What in the world is behind this number that causes for some people to spend their entire bank account? With gematria, that question is easily answered.
In the Greek language, there is a word that equals 777 in the form of gematria. That word is stauros. The word stauros is spelled in the Greek as stigma-alpha-upsilon-rho-omicron-sigma. Here are the values for each letter.
Stigma = 6
Alpha = 1
Upsilon = 400
Rho = 100
Omicron = 70
Sigma = 200
The summation of those six letters equals 777.
The Greek word stauros means “cross” in the English language.
Instead of looking for luck in the casinos this Christmas season, focus on the Cross instead as the Cross is the doorway that gives a person total access into the realm of spirituality. Now, you know why so many people are infatuated with the number 7.
