131. Do numbers have inherent meaning? I really don't subscribe. My Gematria from Gematrinator.com. Predestination? To God be ALL the Glory!

How does one reconcile predestination with John 3:16-17?

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 131 - New Living Translation
Psalm 131 - A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD— now and always.

Now, I don't check horoscopes, or do palm reading, or consult with 'psychics' etc or any of that other nonsense. Before I accepted Christ Jesus in 2019, I was a 'militant' atheist for most of my adult life.

I have heard of Gematria, but I take things day by day, trusting my Abba, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit with everything, by God's grace. Some things are far too complicated for me, and I leave it with God. Who knows what is for lunch today, even? AND I don't have the gift of prophecy yet (but I have repeatedly asked for it, confidently and not doubting, and it is encouraged within scripture to covet the gift of prophecy. I just need to trust in God's timing and not my own)!

Is 131 a dog-whistle in the occult? I am not sure. They do have a lot of dog-whistles. I have asked a couple people here on the unit that worship false Gods (Ra being one of them) if they ascribe any particular meaning to that number, but they said that they do not (not that I could trust their response, anyway!).

Maybe different people ascribe random meanings to different numbers based on nonsense. I am not so sure.

I am interested in this topic though for a Biblical reason and it is related to the following concepts and the answers to some questions that I definitely do not have all figured out.

(but remember, it is VERY IMPORTANT to acknowledge when you don't know something for sure, a lesson I learned in my parents basement last year)

  • Gematria
  • Time being linear
  • Scripture can't be broken (including that everything written in the Bible will come to pass, including the entire book of Revelation)
  • Free will
  • The concept of "System State Snapshots" dependant on free will decisions of persons (God/angels/demons/human beings) - This could be used in simulations, in addition to psychological profiles and other models, by nation states and advanced AI systems which would try to predict the future.
  • The fact that there are Two Fathers, Two Eternal Destinations, and One choice
    • Accepting Christ Jesus Free Gift, which will not be forced upon anyone
    • If you die before accepting it, you ultimately end up in the lake
    • Aside from the possibility of being able to actually commit the unforgivable sin in today's day and age, and taking the Mark of the Beast when it comes out, everyone has every opportunity to repent, humble themselves like a little child, and of their own free will accept Christ Jesus' free gift until they die (at which point they are definitely destined for the lake, if they died rejecting Christ)
  • The notion of predestination, and all that it entails. This is difficult to reconcile with another biblical concept for me (John 3:16-17), but I don't have it all figured out yet, and the error lies with my present understanding not with my Abba, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Holy Holy, Holy Spirit who alone are God (Perfect, Eternal, All-Powerful, All-knowing, Everywhere, the maker of the heavens and the earth)
  • Is the final number of saints variable, or completely fixed?
  • Is the final "heat" of the lake of fire and brimstone variable, or complete fixed?
  • Ecclesiastes 7:1 and Proverbs 22:1 - What is in a name?
  • Given that God is all powerful, all knowing, and everywhere, what was it, in detail, specifically, in addition to what is mentioned in Scripture, that Satan (formerly Lucifer), [soon to be NAMELESS, and good riddance!] did to cause all this mess?
    • I can't trust anything outside of the Bible regarding this issue.
    • This question keeps me up at night. I hate the Devil with a passion for what he did to those I love.
  • Can the one unforgivable sin referenced in Scripture be replicated today?
  • Did my parents, Rhona and Gordon Reynen, know (or suspect even) that I would be saved one day when they sold me into MK ULTRA slavery at the age of three for money?
Bible Gateway passage: John 3:16-17 - New Living Translation
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
Bible Gateway passage: Ecclesiastes 7:1, Proverbs 22:1 - King James Version
A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Bible Gateway passage: Revelation 20 - New Living Translation
The Thousand Years - Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)

Today is not the day to delve into this subject. I must focus on my appeals today. I have work to do for myself and for my brothers and sisters in Christ so they don't get treated they way that I have ever again in places like The Royal here in Canada.

This would be a topic for a book I want to write: "To God be ALL the Glory", and God-willing I will get the chance to write it.

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 9 - New Living Translation
Psalm 9 - For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be sung to the tune “Death of the Son.” I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared. For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.

Praise the LORD!

Christ Jesus is the LORD of LORDS and KING OF KINGS!

My Allegiance is to Christ Jesus!
