Properties of the number 38

Symbolism

• Referring to the man cured by Jesus at the pool of Bethesda who was infirm since 38 years (Jn 5,5), saint Augustin makes of this number the symbol of the sickness.

• J. Boehme sees there "Lucifer, the will of the Devil".

• Represent the principle of the cosmic or celestial life.

• Represent "the ratio of the individual initiation to the cosmic organization, kind of differentiation resulting from an effort of initiative - 3 + 8 = 11; 1 + 1 = 2", according to R. Allendy.

General

• Among the 49 appearances of Christ to Dozule to a mother of family, 38 times the Son of the Man appears to her directly to entrust to her a particular message.

• The magic squares named "panmagic squares" and that, for Edouard Lucas, we name generally diabolic, have surprising properties: the sum of numbers taken on the partial diagonals equal the magic number. Moreover, if we cut out the square following a line or a column, and that we reconstitute it by putting pieces differently (but without to invert lines and columns) it remains magic. Here is an example of this magic square whose sum gives 38:

                              2 15 5 16
                              9 12 6 11
                             14 3 17  4
                             13 8 10  7
  

Occurrence

• The number 38 is used 5 times in the Bible.

• In the Bible, 38 numbers appear both under their ordinal and cardinal form.

Oh my goodness me too 11:38

I’m not alone

by A.M.A - 4/14/23 12:06 AM

I’ve seen repetitive numbers for some time now. I always want to find the meaning or intended message, I try to remember what I am thinking or doing at that time I see the number for instance 1:38 and 12:38 are popular but today is the first time I was so lucky to come across this unique comment section after searching for the possible meanings of numbers for so long and I’m so happy I did and am able to read and share this with many who also share the same instances. What I can always conclude from these meaningful angel numbers is that you are not alone ever when you have faith and god.

38; 83 As Above; So Below

by Anonymous - 9/09/22 1:31 PM

Since my deep depression &NDE, in 2018, my veil was thinned, & numbers been following me, stuff was so confusing, synchronicities, patterns from words & numbers only has been increasing, still is, like a language from our unseen & we r given a little at a time, thank Goodness, because it sure does feel like harassment at some times lol but I almost immediately turn to gratitude and am humbled by the experiences. 38’s sure strikes my chord & still don’t know what it means exactly, even after reading most of these threads, but I’m sure something good will come out of it, hopefully we will find out in divine time… Love Always

For me it was all about feeling alone in the world and disconnected. Having to be needed by others to fill up the hole of emptiness. Instead of looking inward.

I keep running into the number 38. So much that I've even prayed for it to stop, and that when it pops up I will sometimes joke to myself, "whoooooooa it's that number again!!" :)

I've been seen #38 for 3-4 years... I later realised the car I drove had those numbers and so were the last digits of my cell #. Now it's everywhere literally. Had to make peace with it because I feel as though God is communicating something. It will come in time

38, 30 hate?

by &e - 11/11/12 11:11 PM

I've been seeing this number for about 14 years now. Eventually my friends also started noticing it all the time. Every time I look at the clock it's ?:38. It shows up in sports games in scores and jerseys way too much to be ignored as well. There have been many other strange occurrences with it. I even find that when I see license plates or look at certain UPC/bar codes it is there or the numbers usually add up to it's sum. People say "well you're looking for it" and things of that nature, but I know this number means something to me, along with 22. My birthdate is August 22, 1983. 22 is my lucky numeber, and I thought 38 was an unlucky number for me. I have more recently tried to have a positive outlook on it. I always knew there was something special with it. I have been looking for answers in my life lately more than ever and read way too much into theories and hate those in power. I hope they don't have some strange control over us with our obsession with 38. It's good to know there are others out there that feel the same way I do with this magic #.

Something similar keeps happening to me... Whenever I message a certain friend of mine (or often vice versa) the time almost always ends in 38. There are other things but that's the most prominent

I know all these comments are older but i thought I was the only one. I only told my spouse about it...I thought I was going crazy. I want to know what it means all these things are giving me mixed messages is it good or bad! There's been a lot of bad things happening around me lately I was hoping it was good luck but I'm not so sure anymore...just when I think things can't get worse and brush it off something worse happens. I see 38 everywhere and like all of you I don't look for it. I also have been seeing 22 and one day I was walking and saw a license plate 324 and then another license plate two seconds later 324 I don't know if that means anything...I was just hoping they were lottery numbers I should pick.lol If someone could give me a real break down of what it means or if your like turned negative or positive after seeing this that would be so great. Thank yu so much.

Year 2018
This is my 3rd times I saw Jesus Christ in my dreams

It was 12nn philippine time, I saw Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary in my dream coming down from heaven, I was praying and crying on my dream to thank God for everything,I just don't understand why Jesus Christ wanted to hold my hands and he told me that he has only 38 and he will be leaving, before I can't reach His hand but he whisper to me "38" and when I look up to the sky i saw the heaven's gate open and I saw that number "38th". I woke up crying very hard, I know my heart that i am crying of joy inside my heart... But I don't really understand what does 38th means??? please help me what does really mean it for me?

Year 2018
This is for the second time I saw Jesus in my dreams
I was sleeping that time 12nn philippine time. In my dreams i was praying because my family and don't have nothing to eat, so I went to the town to ask some help or someone to give me some rice, but nobody wants to help me, that time i was thinking my family to leave... more...

I'm 38

by M38 - 7/24/18 3:59 AM

I've encountered this number for a very long time. At one point in my life as a kid on a football team my number was changed from 66 to 38. You may see it on clocks or out places. But what's truly scary is how many times it appears in movies and media in general. I will list off all I can remember and trust me there's more.
In movies, batman the dark Knight rises, the timer on the bomb read 10:38, in fast 7 at the end the rock says there's 38 inches of concrete in Statham's cell wall. The will Smith movie where he's a con artists the race car near the end is car 38. In the walking dead 4th season I believe, a guy walks in aND asks for a count of sorts and the counts 38. In call of duty mw3 when bomb goes off in London it happens at the 38 mark on a camera recording. George Lucas made a short film thx 1138. A quick look on Wikipedia of 1138 it shows many different shows where both numbers are used. Perhaps just a shout out to George Lucas an the filmost but still a scary coincidence for it to be used so much. There's way more but my memory isn't the best and I can't recall a lot of my encounters with it while watching movies or shows.

Although the meaning for the number three may not be as easily discerned by reading the Book of Genesis, additional study of the scripture reveals the meaning of three as "conform". In the third day God caused the dry land (ashamed land, Heb.) to appear by dividing the waters (see Gen. 1:9). The dry, ashamed land corresponds to our repentance and confession as we come out of sin into conformity to God's image. Paul said that we are "Predestin[ed] to be conformed to the express "image of the invisible God" (Col 1:15). So we should be conformed in all three areas of our being- spirit, soul, and body. A few more words conveying this same concept are "obey" "imitate", and "copy". Thirity ( three times ten) means "acceptably conformed", or if one is conformed to this world, "unacceptably conformed", but "conformed", nontheless ( Rom 12:2). The best example of god's use of this number is Jesus' age when He began His ministry-thirty. In the old testament, a Levite had to be thirty years old before he could become a... more...

Over the past year or so I started seeing 11:11 everyone, then 12:12, then 10:10 now I still see these numbers, but in the recent months I have now also started seeing the number 38, followed by 47, followed by 29. I see the pattern that they add up to 11. I saw a comment below that it means that I was chosen for a path, like something of Lightworker. I have had an awakening process. I'm wondering if everyone else who is also seeing 38 is awakening also?
