Pope John Paul II and the nuber 13

April 11, 2009 10:35pm CST
Have you noticed all the 13's associated with the last pope? Here are a few. December 13, 1981 John Paul II invites prayers for the Polish nation, calling the situation a state of emergency. May 13, 1982 (Exactly 1 year after the attack where he almost lost his life) Before the statue of Our Lady of Fátima, John Paul II recites the Act of consecration and entrustment of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. April 13, 1986 John Paul II makes a visit to Rome's main Synagogue . January 13, 1987 John Paul II receives in audience the President of the Council of the People's Republic of Poland, Wojciech Jaruzelski . November 13, 1989 Meeting of the diocesan bishops of the Federal Republic of Germany with the Holy Father on the theme: "Handing the faith to the next generation and the pastoral work of catechesis". April 13, 1991 Reorganization of the Latin-Rite Catholic Church in the Soviet Republic of Belarus, Russia and Kazakistan. August 13, 1991 Pastoral Visit in Poland, at Czestochowa for the 6th World Youth Day and in Hungary Apostolic Voyage 52 [52 = 13 x 4] January 13, 1992 Holy See recognizes Croatia and Slovenia . February 13, 1992 Papal chirograph for the Indipendent Foundation Popolorum Progressio at the service of the indiginous peoples and the campesinos in Latin America, established on the occasion of the 5th centenary of the evangelization of Latin America. June 13, 1994 Fifth Plenary Assembly of the College of Cardinals, with John Paul II participating, in preparation for the Jubilee of the Third Millennium. December 13, 1994 Letter to Children, in the Year of the Family. November 13, 1996 The Holy Father addresses the opening of the UN World Food Summit organized by FAO (UN Food and Agricultural Organization) in Rome. May 13, 2000 Cardinal Angelo Sodano announced that the "third part" of the secret of Fatima will be made public. The Message of Fatima will be published in its entirety on 26 [13 x 2] June 2000. June 13, 2000 John Paul II expresses his satisfaction for the clemency granted to Mehmet Alì Agca [who made an attempt on the Pope's life on May 13, 1981] by the President of Italy during this jubilee year. December 13, 2001 Famous Meeting of the Pope with Bishops from the Holy Land, on the theme: "Peace in the Holy Land and the Future of Christians" In his title, if we allow to replace Roman II by Latin 2 we obtain: Pope John Paul 2 = 13 symbols Pape Jean-Paul 2 = 13 symbols Giovanni Paolo = 13 symbols Ioannes Paulus = 13 symbols The priestly hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church contains 13th ecclesiastical titles. The celebration of the Epiphany takes place the 13th day after the nativity of the Lord. Number 13 is called theophanicus for that reason. The 13th glorious mystery of the Holy Rosary relates directly to the Pentecost. The number 13 = Numerical value of J.-C. (Jesus Christ), in the logical alphanumeric coding (with C=3 and J=10); A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, … Y=25, Z=26 In mathematical terms, the number 13 contains the Trinity: 13 = 3/. 3 + 3 = 3: 0,3 + 3 that is 13 = 10 + 3 The number 13 = " Mark of time "; one year = 52 weeks = 13 x 4 weeks. The alphabet and its language wear the mark of the number 13 because the alphabet contains 26 symbols and 26 = 13 x 2. I could go on but you get the point

That must have taken you awhile. Since I am Jewish, I use the Hebrew numbers so these all mean nothing to me. Not to mention the christian testament means nothing to me, nor does the pope unless he does something entertaining like saying hell is a physical place. However, I do like the number 13. Mostly because the church placed a curse on it and christians fear it. I love it. Since I know that no one can put a curse on a number, much less the "church", I enjoy using the number whenever possible. I always had it on my jersy when I played sports. It was a great intimidation factor against the other team. Your points are taken, but are meaningless to a Jew. Shalom~Adoniah

The Jewish religion is the only religion that allows rebellion! We are allowed to argue with Hashem as long as we always remember who He is and who we are! Shalom

In Hebrew, doesn't 13 mean rebellion? I should do some posts with Hebrew numbers, I will have to research this, The only one I have done recently is 501, but maybe I can do some more gematria and see what I come up with. Shalom

Hi Adoniah, I don't pay attention to numbers or their symbolism or meaning, Christian or otherwise. I heard though that in some cultures (Christian) the number 13 is lucky. Not so for most. I live in a condo building and of course there is no 13th floor. I have worked in a number of high rises also and there is no 13th floor either. I have read about the Kabala and I know numbers have a significance in that branch of Judaism. I know also in Chinese culture some numbers are lucky and some are not. Interesting stuff.
