What Are Angel Numbers and Are They Biblical?

　　Angel numbers have grown in popularity in recent years due to the resurgence of New Age practices. While angel numbers might sound as if they have something to do with the angels of the Bible, they do not. There is nothing biblical about angel numbers, as nowhere in the Bible are we told about the existence of angel numbers.

What Are Angel Numbers?

　　While this concept has grown in popularity, there is nothing biblical about this practice. Those who believe in angel numbers believe that once you see your angel number, you have found your angelic or spirit guide.

　　With one’s spirit guide, the New Age teaches that the spirit or angelic guide will help the individual through any sort of trouble, whether emotional, spiritual, or physical. Spirit guides are also seen within the religion of Hinduism. Spirit guides or angelic guides are not biblical.

　　We are never told in the Bible that God gives us a “spirit guide” or an “angelic guide.” Rather, we are told that at the moment of salvation, we are given the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who guides, instructs, and helps us.

　　Jesus tells us, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit and God’s Word is our guide — not some kind of spirit or angelic guide.

　　Most likely, these spirit or angelic guides are demons. Demons are always trying to trick and deceive us. Instead of falling into the trap of believing in angel numbers, we need to turn to God and His Word.

　　Whenever we see anything being promoted in the world, we need to weigh it against Scripture. Simply because angel numbers are popular right now does not mean we should partake in it.

　　Most of the popular teachings in the world are not biblical, including the new fad of angel numbers. Instead of placing faith and trust in a set of “angel” numbers, we need to place faith in Jesus Christ.

　　While angel numbers might try to portray the idea that they offer us protection, guidance, or help, they do not. Only God can offer us true protection, guidance, and help. There are many false beliefs and teachings in the world that we need to be careful of.

　　Simply because angel numbers sound as though they are connected to the Bible, they are not. Angel numbers are not biblical, and as Christians, we should not believe in them nor place faith in them. Believing or placing faith in angel numbers is only false hope.

　　True hope is only found in Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that hope in Jesus is like an anchor for the soul (Hebrews 6:19). The hope we have in Jesus will never fade or go away. We can always have hope in Jesus because He will never let us down.

　　Since the Lord loves us and we are His own, He will never disappoint us. God always comes through, even if it is not in the way that we expected. God loves you and knows what’s best for you. Demons disguised as spirit guides or angelic guides only want to cause you harm.

Are They Biblical?

　　Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 18:10-13).

　　Numerology leads us away from God and toward the occult. If we want to grow closer to God, believing in numerology is not the way to go.

　　Even if others try to claim numerology accurately predicts the future or manipulates situations, we are to stay away from this practice. Instead, we need to turn to the Lord and trust Him with our future.

　　Trusting in angel numbers will only lead to false hope and disappointment. Many individuals who turn to angel numbers or practices dealing with the New Age movement often have a void in their hearts and they are trying to fill it with a myriad of different things that will not help them.

　　If a person is trying to find spiritual fulfillment, they don’t need to turn to means such as angel numbers because this will not fill their need for spiritual fulfillment. Only placing faith in Jesus can heal the void in our hearts and souls.

　　He loves us dearly, and once a person accepts Jesus as their Savior, they will be able to have the same joy of knowing Jesus. The New Age movement, false religions, and false cults will not fill our hearts with love, peace, and fulfillment.

　　Instead, these things will leave us empty and hollow inside. This is because only Jesus can fill the void in our hearts. Only He can give real peace, love, and fulfillment.

What Does This Mean?

　　You can also ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by placing faith in Him. If you know someone who is involved with angel numbers, help point them to Jesus and place faith in Him rather than beliefs tied to angel numbers.

　　Everything associated with angel numbers and numerology is part of the occult, and a believer has no place in being involved with the occult. Being interested in the occult is dangerous because it can lead you down many dark paths. Turn to the Lord instead and follow His path of life.

　　Thus, angel numbers are repetitive numbers that show up in various places, such as seeing 333, 222, or 111. Within angel numbers, it can go up to 999, and new agers believe each angel number has a unique meaning.

　　Despite angel numbers growing in popularity, they are not biblical. The Bible never mentions anything about angel numbers. The spirit guides and angelic guides that new agers believe in are most likely demons masquerading.

　　Demons love to deceive us and cause us to fall, which is what happens when someone starts believing in angel numbers. A fascination with angel numbers can lead a person to become involved with the occult and pull them away from God.

　　Instead of placing faith in angel numbers and the false teachings of the New Age movement, we need to follow after Christ and learn all we can from the Bible.
