Properties of the number 20

Symbolism

• Represent the God solar for the Mayas.

• Represent "the fundamental differentiation which creates in the world two relatively antagonistic poles, and particularly the opposition: spirit-matter", according to R. Allendy.

• J. Boehme calls this number "the Devil", that is to say the material world opposed to the spiritual world.

• The number 20 is considered as ominous for saint Jerome because it indicates the universal fight, but it also represents the source of all energy of the world.

• This number is represented in Hebrew by the letter caph, in form of opened hand, to seize and hold. The eleventh mystery of the Tarot, which corresponds to this letter, and consequently with this number, is "the Force" which expresses energy, the activity, the work, according to R. Allendy.

• Number associated to the resurrection or to the reincarnation, according to Creusot.

Bible

• Samson had judged Israel for twenty years. (Jg 16,31)

• Under the commandment of Elisha, twenty barley loaves are enough to feed hundred persons. (2 K 4,42-44)

• God asked Moses to make the census of all the community of Israelis being twenty years old and more. (Nb 1,3)

• Jacob spent twenty years at Laban before to escape. (Gn 31,38)

General

• The devout of Krishna (whose it is told, in the Hindu religion, that he is one of the incarnations of Vichnou) prostrate, the face against ground, twenty times per day, in front of images of Krishna and in front of A.C. Bhaktivedante Swami Prabhupada, born in 1895, to who his believers attribute him a sixty of works, of which a translation of the "Bhagabad Gitâ" (The Song of the Blissful), poem Sanskrit of the 3rd century, in which is exposed the Hindu dogma of the universal soul - Atman.

• One month in the religious calendar Maya contained twenty days.

• The twenty volumes, named Nackas, of the Zend-Avesta (theological and philosophical books) which is the work of Zarathustra.

• According to the French book "La cybernétique des sens - ou si l'homme voulait" (The cybernetics of senses - or if the man wanted), Jose Jazan and John Rollet speak about "the Man factorial 5". They distinguish the "5 mental or subjective senses" and the "5 objective or physiological senses". These 10 senses act in two directions: from the man towards the outside and outside towards the man, giving 20 senses, as we have 4 times 5 fingers.

• Mathematical base (vigesimal numeration) in which worked the Gallic and the Mayas.

• Magic square of 20:

                     8 6 4 2
                     4 2 8 6
                     2 4 6 8
                     6 8 2 4
  

• Number of characters of the alphabet of bards.

• Anniversary of marriage: weddings of porcelain of China.

Occurrence

• The number 20 is used 117 times in the Bible.

• The number 24 is used 20 times in the Bible.

• The number 20 is used only once in the Koran. (Koran VIII, 66)

• The names of Cain and Rome are used 20 times in the Bible.

It started happening to me when I moved into a low income neighborhood that was VERY sketchy. Pot smokers, drug dealers, sex offenders...

When I moved out of there and into the nice part of town, it happened far less frequently.

It only occured when I wasn't consciously doing something. If my mind started to drift and I wasn't doing anything, sure enough I'll look at the time and it's 4:20.

Which indicates to me that it's subconscious in nature. The body can also be affected by the subconscious in a lot of ways, including the body's internal clock. (Or rather it's ability to sense the time, such as being able to go to sleep and subconsciously want to wake up at a certain time, and then wake up at that time)

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with "God" or numerology. It's more likely that you're a victim of subconscious programming by someone else...

Let’s break down the 420 number. First of all, we have the 4. Angel number 4 is often associated with wisdom (particularly inner wisdom) as well as patience. The number 2 has a range of meanings but those of focus within the 420 numerology is co-operation, adaptability and it’s usually a sign of your ability to form relationships.

As the number 000, the number 0 is itself a spiritual number. We will look at the 420 spiritual meaning momentarily but the 0 is one of the more singularly important and significant numbers. A zero represents a single moment of choice that will impact your journey. More often than not this refers to a spiritual journey that could result in developing your higher self or your angelic communication abilities.

Similarly to the previous numbers, the number 6 has a wide variety of meanings. In this case, it relates to problem-solving which can also mean having to search within oneself for the answer. You don’t always have to add the single numbers together but in... more...

I just want everyone to know that you are not alone. I have also been experiencing this phenomenon for about 6 months now.I happen to look at the clock at both 4:20 am and 4:20 pm. Very curious about this. I also see consecutive numbers like 2:22am, or 3:33 am. And this happens all the time! I wonder if it really means anything?

We should ask our spirit guides for knowledge as to why the number 20 is a daily occurrence.. From what i understand we know good and evil and we have to be diligent in making the right choices because irs also related to karma and karmic debt..i think it means that we take on others karmic debt also. We come off as too needy sometimes because we need to know the real power within us but we have low self esteem. We are encouragers of others we uplift and have extreme compassion.

I looked it up and it has to do with belonging to good and evil. Also we are cheerleaders so to speak.. We encourage and uplift those that need it.. The fact that ir refers to " belonging to the devil" really freaks me out..i cant believe i chose this before my reincarnation.

7:20 continually

by Shiv - 12/13/18 9:18 PM

I’ve been seeing 7:20 on the clock continually. I started looking at each book in the Bible that contains a chapter 7 and verse 20. There are similarities in the context of the different books and the theme seems to be that of repentance and turning back toward the Lord.

Ok, like most of you I too see ##:20 when it comes to the time, I always purposely look to see what time it is just like normal people except most of the time it ##:20, a lot of you have pointed out 4:20 which is so strange because it is the most common time I see.

I know that in the cannabis culture 4:20 is a time where you are supposed to smoke, and have been wondering what the origins of that time was.

Same number combo for years 10:20

by Clay - 5/25/15 8:37 PM

Well, for the past 15 years I have always looked at the clock at exactly 10:20 twice a day almost every day. I have often wondered if it meant anything but dismissed it as coincidence. The other night I listened to a man on the radio speak of numerology and was wondering if there is some meaning behind this particular set of numbers appearing every day. Does anyone here have any idea what it could mean?

Minute 20

by Heather - 3/04/15 11:27 PM

I have seen this number before back in late 2009, early 2010. Bad things were happening at the time enough to make me want to end my life. The number 20 came up repeatedly. I asked a good friend that understood numerology. He said it was "Duality" which in his terms your physical self and spiritual self. What I took from that was God talking to me and letting me know this to shall pass and better days are on the way, don't give up hope.
My physical self experienced very soon after the signs came. I consider 20 as a lucky number, my life turned for the better and I could breathe again. So here we are 2015, and once again I feel an emptiness with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I wouldn't say I want to end my life, since I promised myself I would never go back to that dark place ever again. I am seeing 20's left and right, text, calls, clocked minutes. I can't be sure, but I know there is a huge change coming that will be changing my life's direction and I always hope for the best. I know God is... more...

numbers and accurances

by Mercia - 10/10/12 8:53 AM

one day at 10:10 in the morning, I noticed a car following me. Upon telling my husband, he said: "relax, you are imagining it". That same day at 13:13 I noticed the same car infront of my shop and thought not to tell someone, because they will think I'm paranoid, then at 20:20 that night I was attacked and held at gun point...Did the numbers and the fact that I saw it in doubles on my watch mean anything, and why 4 years later I am constantly reminded by a force of double displayed numbers.
