Yeah, i apologize, i was in a hurry and i made a note to post about it. Well i mean here are some examples:
1. Jesus falls 3 times
2. He's encountered by three women
3. there are 3 total crucifixes when he's "put up there"
4. He rises after 3 days
5. Peter denies him 3 times
There are many more, but i cant really think of them right now. But is it coincidence or do you think it really means something?

could you rewrite what you wrote because it makes no sense at all
All I see is.
3= Good
6= Bad
More is better obviously

There are 3 numbers you see alot of in the Bible: 3, 7, and 40.

Plus to complicate your question, when youre attacked in your sleep by a incubus or succubus (sexual demons) you usually awake at exactly 3:33

Meh. 40 years the Hebrews wandered through the wilderness. 40 day fasting of Jesus. 40 year reign of Saul, David, and Solomon. Moses was on the mountain 40 days. Spies were in Canaan for 40 days. Elijah fasted 40 days. 40 days were given to Ninevah to change its ways.

Don't forget about the trinity.
To make a long story and religion short, hebrew had a complex number/letter theory. Ever watch Pi?
Well i believe 7 was holy. 11 was infinity, stuff like that. Hope it helps.
Edit: numerology.. http://tinyurl.com/s37ag
uhm.. basically each individual letter had a numerical value or something.

1) Solomon's temple was begun 1,440 years after the flood.
2) Jesus was born 1,440 years after Moses led the Israelites through the Red Sea
3) Rosslyn was begun 1,440 years after the birth of Christ.
40 years = Venus cycle
480 years = Venus epoch
1,440 = Venus aeon
Astronomy was infused in the testaments.
