It is not an uncommon occurrence to see the same numbers several times over the course of a few weeks or even years. The repeated numbers could show up in the time of day, common digits on license plates, or the date of a birthday.
New Age observers have decided that numbers that show up repeatedly are not coincidental; rather, they are messages from angels or spirit guides. They claim that these guides nudge you to look up at the right moment to catch a glimpse of these numbers. New agers even give ideas as to what these numbers may mean.
There are several problems with a belief in angel numbers:
• “Spirit guides” are not protective, helpful angels. When they actually exist, they are disguised demons attempting to lead us into sin or destruction. Interacting with demonic guides is expressly forbidden in the Bible (Leviticus 20:27). James 4:7 tells us to resist such beings, not trust and follow them.
• Numerology is an occult practice that has no basis in Scripture and no place in the Christian life. Although the Bible uses numbers such as 7 and 40 to represent specific things, this does not mean that every number has a hidden meaning. Numerology is a form of fortune–telling, which the Bible absolutely condemns (Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10–13; Galatians 5:19–20).
