The Secret Meaning and Symbolism

In the Bible, number 13 is often mentioned through the appearance of Judah, who was the thirteenth apostle, one of his disciples, and a symbol of treason.

Judah was the one who betrayed Jesus, and it happened one day after Last Supper.

This is one of the reasons why number 13 is related to something negative – in this case, the suffering of Jesus, which was caused by Juda’s betrayal.

Judah became the symbol of sin and treason and also a symbol of rebellion. He is one of the reasons why number 13 became a symbol of negativity.

Some of the other biblical facts connected to number 13 are 13 sins on Jesus’ list, 13 Israeli tribes, and 13 famines described in the Bible.

There is also a measure of 13 governments that rebelled against God. It is considered that this government was inspired by Satan, and that also brought number 13 to a bad reputation.

Another bad sign is the appearance of the dragon, who symbolizes Satan, and its appearance was in the Book of Revelation: The dragon appears there 13 times, so there is number 13 again.

But one of the more unknown but positive biblical meanings of number 13 is revealed in the gospel of St John.

In this gospel, Jesus speaks about himself and who he really is. He uses 13 comparisons to describe himself: I am the light, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life, I am the king, I am the son of God, I am the Resurrection, and six more.
