Prophetic Numerology on the These End Times

This guy in the video is a very logical, well reasoned and sane individual
 
I don't put a lot of stock into the idea that playing with numbers reveals anything much about Biblical prophecy.
 
Its like the guy lost it while reading a Dan Brown book and no one in his family is trying to get him help they just film him and throw it on youtube.
 
Numerology? I don't think we're supposed to dabble in that kind of thing.
 
Nope, we aren't. What's interesting to me is that Jesus didn't say it wasn't real; just not to dabble in it.
 
It's interesting that some people are devoted to end times and end times prophecy. I subscribe to none of it and never have. Every single person reading this is going to have an end time. We all time out. That isn't prophecy. None of us know our expiration date. So then what difference does world end time make, even if you do believe in it? It makes no difference. Or it shouldn't.

If you live each day as best you can, striving to live with loving compassion for all people and practicing the golden rule then you'll meet the end time of your life (or your current life) or of the world as prepared as you can be. If we live each day like that, we approach our expiration date in relatively good shape. The alternative is to believe that prophecy in numbers or anything else is going to give you some kind of lead time to get ready. That is the wrong way to approach it.

The only time you have is the present. Most of us don't live in it fully. I damn sure don't. I try to be mindful.

Life is short. If we want more life, more time, our only option is to live fully in the moment (not for the moment).

We can easily become concerned or fixated on the past and we worry about the future. You can't change the past and the only way you can affect the future is to live fully in the present.

Everybody want to go to heaven
Nobody want to die
Everybody want to go heaven, I say
But nobody want to die
I don't know why

I've never read that. Isopsephy (numerology with Greek letters) is used widely, and in at least one place quite plainly, in the New Testament. Gematria (numerology with Hebrew letters) is somewhat widely used by Rabbis, and at least was apparently used by either the authors of the original books of the Tanakh, or by the redactor (likely Usrai). The church fathers, especially Origen, Athanasius, and Augustin, used isopsephy.

When it's used with divination, (which is related to occultism), that's when it's forbidden.
 
Pure mania, the more you try to make sense of things using the numbers, the more maniacal you get and then you believe anything because in your mind you can make some kind of numerical attribution to it. But it is all hogwash and balderdash.
 
Pi is a normal irrational number. It contains a random non repeating sequence of digits that stretch on infinitely. If we were to assign letters to the numbers, the number would contain every single piece of literature that has ever been written, or ever will be written inside it. In fact, it contains the precise description of the life of every single human that ever has or ever will live, in every single language.

In fact, this isn't unique to pi, it's true for every single normal irrational number, of which there are an infinite amount of between 1 & 2 (or, in fact, between any 2 numbers you care to name).

We need not look to the heavens to find prophecy in numeracy.
