“888 Count the Number of His Name – the Name ‘Jesus’ and the Number 888.” “The name ‘Jesus’ is unique because it means ‘Yah (Yahweh i.e., God) is salvation & this is additionally strengthened by the numerical value 888. This important number symbolizes eternity and perfection. It also symbolizes the victory over evil” (Prophecy Watcher’s, 2023, pg. 30).
🔢 The Number 888 and the Name "Jesus"
In Greek isopsephy (a system where each letter has a numerical value), the name Ιησούς (Iēsous), which is the Greek form of "Jesus," adds up to 888.
This is significant because in biblical numerology:
8 often symbolizes new beginnings, resurrection, and eternity.
888, being a triple repetition, is seen as a number of divine completeness and perfection — a kind of spiritual counterpoint to 666, the number of the beast.1
✝️ Symbolism and Meaning
The name Jesus means “Yahweh is salvation”, emphasizing his role as Savior.
The number 888 is interpreted by some as reinforcing this identity:
8 × 111 or 2 × 444 are symbolic breakdowns that some believe reflect divine structure or completeness.
The number 37 is also considered significant in biblical numerology and appears as a common factor in the values of "Jesus" (888), "Christ" (1480), and "Jesus Christ" (2368).1
🧠 Why It Matters to Some
This interpretation is often used to highlight the uniqueness and divinity of Jesus in Christian theology.
It’s also seen as a numerical affirmation of his role in salvation history — a kind of encoded message in the original Greek text that points to his identity as the Son of God.1 2

Just hanging around trying to do some good for the world amidst all the insanity we see.
Sitting on this hot rock escaping the 3rd floor (no A/C) psych ward, I mean hospital, from 96 Fahrenheit temps, reminds me "fondly" of the old Georgia swamps.
At the foot of a stairway, that also reminds me - of a Stairway to Light.
I grew up on country. Then got lost in wicked heavy metal. Now redeemed by the Lord. I finally took the chance to make a heavy album to honor Him in all things. At times it may seem that AI is going to be the downfall of mankind. Well in the meantime the tool is, without which I could not do, the words I've been carrying with me for years are mixed for the good of His mission.
HE IS the Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last (Rev. 1:11, 21:6, 22:13).
