I was never able to decide if I liked it better when these people said things like this because they actually believed them, or only because they knew that gullible supporters actually believed them. I did like it better when I thought I could tell which case was which.
Now I can't even tell that anymore. I'm not sure these people can.
Just more proof that people will use the Bible in all sorts of bizarre ways to justify their own goals.
@georgetakei This is nonsensical when paired with the biblical narrative because:
There is no biblical or theological basis for associating β41β with βchangeβ in any established system of biblical numerology.
Biblical numerology assigns symbolic meaning to numbers like:
40 = testing, trial, preparation (e.g., 40 years in wilderness, 40 days of flood, 40 days of Jesusβ fasting).
7 = completeness/perfection.
12 = governmental perfection (tribes, apostles).
3 = divine completeness.
41? Nowhere in Scripture or traditional Jewish/Christian exegesis is 41 assigned any symbolic meaning.
So claiming β41 with changeβ is invented symbolism, not biblical numerology.
So stupid!
