191

Post by Ngakunui »

Forgive me if this is in the wrong subforum, or a bit superstitious, or paranoid, but I keep seeing the number 191 again and again, and it's a rather odd, unusual number. If anyone knows what exactly it means in the Bible, please tell me, because I haven't found any relevance to it in it. These are, however, the sightings I've seen of it that are of actual significance.

>I joined a website as its 191'st member when I was twelve. Before then, I joined another website (as the 1292'd member) that was about the same thing as that one, and was banned by its 191'st member. Who just so happened to have been on its staff.

>191 in binary is 10111111, which has seven ones(and one zero).

>I recall being stopped by a train once that had 191 on it for some reason, followed by two others that had 116, 117, and 118 in that order if I recall correctly.

>My mother has a replica Colt Model 1911 (semi)Automatic Pistol. 1911 being very close to 191, with a one at the end.

>I realized I stop paying attention to the time after 2:31 PM(1:91 if time read that way) until 3:19. I never have the impulse to look at the time between then, or at least never remember.

>191 is a prime number(divisible only by itself and one)

>191 is the sum in cents of a dollar, half-dollar,quarter,dime,nickel, and penny.

>Apparently, this one odd looking building I saw once in Atlanta is called 191 Peachtree Tower. Which is currently the 4'th largest building in Atlanta.

>191(not 911) is an emergency phone number in four countries.

>The X-15 exploded and killed its test pilot during its 191 flight.

>Wikipedia(the disinformation website any monkey can edit) has a page on 191 for some dumb reason. It cites a few things I said.


I find it odd that I see this number so often, and I will very commonly see it scattered about in random instances of no real significance. Anyone know if it does or can mean anything in the Bible? If not, am I just being a nut?

1 is Alef 9 could be Teit then Alef again, but the link I gave has way more in it. I am superstitious to an extent, lol, so give me time to look into this more for you, you never know!

If there is meaning behind 191 then it is likely we will find it out, though let's not get too far out there with crop circle fanatics!

191 - There are two 1's in the three number sequence; 2 and 3 make 23! Run away!

Maybe it means something, but I wouldn't get too worked up over it.

I see no pattern at all to 191, just random events.

About 2 years ago I heard on a radio talk show this woman whose father had passed away some time before at 11:11 am. From that day on, she recounts, every day she would feel a tap on her shoulder and look at her watch and it would be exactly 11:11 am.

I never even gave a 2nd thought, until that is I started looking at the clock at work every morning and it would be exactly 11:11 am. Coincidence? Of course it is. I look at the clock or my watch plenty of other times and the time means absolutely nothing (other than what time it was). But 11:11 am became memorable and noticeable because of the story I heard.

When you look hard enough you will see patterns in anything.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Very true, I still just like to look into things just in case, you can never be too sure. Plus when looking into such things, random or not, you may come across something in your research and become just a little smarter ;)

Good example of this, most of the time I see the clock in the morning or evening it is 9:11.


Either way, I thought it may be interesting to see if there had been some kind of pattern, but it isn't anything I would get too far into. I am no conspiracy theorist, so it was just for fun.

My post was more for the OP Gab, but I know what you're saying. Number patterns in the Bible is very old and a very interesting subject. As long as, like you said, it is taken just for fun.
