The True Meaning Of The Number 13
In Ancient times the number 13 became a number of fear and superstition because the 13th card of the Tarot is the card of Death, and is pictured as a skeleton (the symbol of death) with a scythe reaping down men in a field of newly grown grass where young faces and heads appear cropping up on all sides.
This image later became known as “The Grim Reaper,” and it was ascribed to the planet Saturn. In medieval England the standard fee of the hangman was 13 pence a shilling and a penny.
(Spirit of Truth) The value of my middle name reduces to 12 the number of the hanged man in the Tarot.
13 is not an unfortunate number, as is generally supposed. And it can be clearly shown that 13 is not only the most cherished number of the United States, but also the most fortunate number for Africans, African-Americans, and people the World over of African descent. We shall begin with the United States.
Starting with the 13 Colonies, the first National flag had 13 stars, and even today it still has 13 stripes. On the green side of the Dollar Bill there are 13 steps in the pyramid of the Great Seal.
The motto above the Pyramid, which reads “Annuit Coeptis,” has 13 letters; the eagle on the right side has a ribbon in its beak that bears the motto “E pluribus unum,” which contains 13 letters.
The eagle has 13 tail feathers, and on its breast there is a shield of 13 stripes. In one talon the eagle holds 13 arrows, and in the other an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 berries. Over the eagle’s head are 13 stars that form the six-pointed “Star of David.”
The phrase “July the Fourth” contains 13 letters and the number 4 (1+3), the birth number of the U.S. (July 4, 1776), which leads us to the real reason why the “founding fathers” chose this date as the official birth date of the United States:
The Moon rules Cancer, and is therefore the cosmic ruler of all African people. The average celestial motion of the Moon is 13° per day, and 13 weeks is the time it takes the Earth to travel from the equinoxes to the solstices.
For example, it takes the Earth 13 weeks to travel from the first day of spring (March 20th) to the first day of Summer (June 21st); 13 weeks from the first day of Summer to the first day of Fall (Sept. 23rd); 13 weeks from the first day of Fall to the first day of Winter (Dec. 21st); and it takes the Earth 13 weeks to travel from the first day of Winter to the first-day-of-Spring.
[13 x 4 = 52, which is the time it takes (in weeks) the Earth to make one complete revolution around the Sun, and in most Years lunation i.e., conjunctions between the Sun and Moon occur 13 times.] By the number 13:
The fear of the number 13 is unfounded Internationally as well. It is an honored number in many Countries throughout the World. There are 13 occurrences of the quantity 13 in the design of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the largest stone edifice ever built.
In the Indian Pantheon there are 13 Buddha. The mystical discs that surmount Indian and Chinese pagodas are 13 in number. Enshrined in the Temple of Atsuta in Japan is a sacred sword with 13 objects of mystery forming its hilt. And 13 were the sacred number of the ancient Mexicans they had 13 snake gods.
The 13th letter of the English alphabet is M, which finds its roots in the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, “mem” (meaning mother), which was the ancient Phoenician word for Water.
The ancient Egyptian word for water was “moo.” M is the most sacred of all the letters, for it symbolizes water, where all Life began. It is the root of the word “Mother,” and relates to the evolutionary destiny of Africans, African-Americans, and all people of African descent who are ruled by the number 13:
(Spirit of Truth) The number 13, is not only the letter M, but represents Mother, and is the Ancient Phoenician word for Water. The Water Bearer is Aquarius, who pours water in the mouth of the Southern Fish of Pisces.

In this Black History Month, 2015, February is made a Perfect Month of 4 complete Weeks. Ethiopia is she that celebrate 13 Month also.
I have decided to share this History of the Number 13 with Face Book (Israel Vibration, “Now You See My Face”) and to say Blessed Earth Day to the Number 13 and to the one through whom the Blessings came, and to whom it was given as a possession.
Friday the 13th was made “Good”, for it was 13 who shared the Last Supper, where the Sacrifice was made, (spoken of in Ephesians Chap. 5) brining to fulfillment the words in the Psalms, "Ethiopia shall stretch fort her hands to the Creator the Spirit of Life".
Psalms 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out Her hands unto the Creator. 68:32 Sing unto the Creator, you Queendoms of the Earth; O sing praises unto the Creator; Selah: 68:33 To Him that ride upon the Heavens of heavens, which were of Old; He do send out his Voice, and that a Mighty voice.
68:34 Ascribe you strength unto the Creator: his Excellency is over Israel, and his Strength is in the Clouds. 68:35 O my Creator you are Terrible out of Your Holy Places: the Creator of Israel is he that give Strength and Power unto his People. Blessed be the Creator.
(Spirit of Truth) I would like to give thanks to Assata Shakur Speaks, for ministering unto I with the history of the number 13, for it is Iron that sharpen Iron, and there are many that minister unto I, enabling I to grow both in Strength and Wisdom.
Psalms 40:1 I waited patiently for the Creator; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 40:3 And he has put a New Song in my mouth, even praise unto the Creator: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Creator.
40:4 Blessed is that man that make the Creator his Trust, and respect not the Proud, nor such as turn aside to Lies. 40:5 Many, my Creator, are Your wonderful Works which You have done, and Your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears You have opened: burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. 40:7 Then I said, "I come: in the volume of the Book it is written of I", 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my Creator: yes, Your Law is within my heart. 40:9 I have taught Righteousness in the Great Congregation: I have not refrained my lips, O my Creator, you know it.
40:10 I have not hid your Righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your Faithfulness and Your Salvation: I have not concealed Your loving-kindness and Your Truth from the Great Congregation.
