There are a number of numerologists who specialize in the interpretation of this number.
"A number of numerologists" lol there's gotta be a "how many numerologists does it take" joke to be made somehow here.
Growing up, my Mom was "into" numerology, and I find it interesting, though a bit flawed.
There are just too many variables. I know people who would have been born on a different date if it weren't daylight savings time, or if they were two
states over in a different time zone...a friend just had a baby who's due date was MY bday, but they had to induce labor 2 weeks early...she was still
born a "Cancer," yet has NO "Cancer" in her birthchart - right on the cusp. As I learn more about astrology and numerology, the more I see the
flaws.
There is a system of numerology which assigns a number to each vowel and consonant instead of letters, therefore the system doesn't change from one
language to another, or depending on if you spell "Terry" as "Teri." There are 3 different ways to spell my first name, and I've used them all, off
and on - the "traditional" numerology is drastically different from one to the next, but not in the system I'm talking about.
To me, numerology attempts to add science - or at least math, lest I be attacked for that statement by the science guys here - to spirituality (see
post about Hebrew previously) - now, in a mathematical equation, or "scientific" process, the less variables based on individual quirks such as
spelling "Terry" as "Teri" the better, but I still see a lot of hooey in numerology. I may change that opinion once I get further in my studies in
life, but I never got the whole "reduce it down" thing as holding solid weight.
Hopefully you are able to glean some meaning from the Hebrew post, the Jesus lived 33 years thing, and remember 32, 23, 13 are "important" also, and
3, 6, and 9, etc. There are many "occult" and "esoteric" interpretations of numbers. When a person associates something with something else, they see
it pop up all over. Go buy a red Toyota, all of a sudden you "start seeing them everywhere," however, they were always everywhere, it's just your
awareness that has increased, not the actual number of red Toyotas on the road.
I would venture to guess the #33 most likely also represents the Star of David, 3 points and 3 points on the two triangles, which represent "As above,
so below." Or, 6.
A 6 pointed star means 6, and if we are to believe certain Jewish authors, then 6 = power and wealth.
