'To whom then will you compare Me, or who is My equal?' says the Holy One. 'Lift up your eyes on high, and behold, who has created these things, who brings out their host by number' (Isaiah 40:25).
Between the Month of March and April I had been seeing the numbers 444, and I thought that is different, hadn't seen those numbers together before. I knew that the Lord was speaking, but I could not find anything about the number 444 and ended up forgetting about it. It's hard to type about this right now, because I just found the info about the meaning of 444, and I am actually crying happy tears, sad tears, and thankful tears because of it's meaning.
According to the book "The Appointed Times of Jesus the Messiah," there exist an interesting relationship between the Scriptural meaning of the number 444 and Christ's earthly ministry.
An essential key to understanding God's Word and its design is through the meaning of Biblical numbers. Their connections and patterns, when we search them out and understand them, reveal the handiwork of God. Although the arrangement of some is obvious, others are not and require in-depth Bible study. The patterns found do not exist by random chance but by design. Each one has a particular symbolism attached to it by our Creator.
Research has uncovered patterns in certain original language words and phrases that reveal a hidden meaning behind the Biblical text. This discovery offers additional proof that God inspired every word used in the book that boldly proclaims to reveal His will, plan, and purpose for man. The Eternal challenges us through Isaiah that He alone is Creator.
"Only to the students of the Word, those to whom God's Spirit has given spiritual insight, will the code be plain. God is 'The Great Geometrician' and does everything after a plan by number, weight, and measure. ~Edward F. Vallowe
"If God is the Author of the Scriptures and the Creator of the Universe (and He is) then the Words of God and the Works of God should and will harmonize." ~Edward F. Vallowe
September 11 was not only the Day of Atonement in 26, it was the start of the Jubilee year (Luke 4:16 - 21, see also Isaiah 61:1 - 2). In Jesus' first recorded public address in Nazareth, he links his ministry and message to this special period of liberty and freedom which occurred every 50th year and was announced on Atonement (Leviticus 25).
September 11 in 26 A.D. is thus an incredibly rare and momentous day in human history! The four-fold major events that took place, or began, on this day are the Day of Atonement, the start of the Jubilee Year, the start of Jesus' ministry, and the beginning of the devil's efforts to derail God's plan to save humans.
Jesus' public ministry ended on a Wednesday, on the same 4th day of the week it started. It ceased in 30 A.D. when he was crucified and died on April 5 (the day portion of Passover) as our perfect sacrifice for sin.
The Day of Atonement in 26 A.D. corresponds on the Hebrew calculated calendar (used to determine God's annual Feast Days) to Tishri 10 in the Hebrew year 3787. Jesus' death in 30 A.D. corresponds to Nisan 14 in Hebrew year 3790. This means his entire ministry lasted 44 months (Hebrew years 3787 and 3789 had 13 months in them) and 4 days for 444!
Appearances of number four hundred forty-four
Strong's Concordance is a classic tool that has aided Bible study for many years. Hebrew listing number 444 (#H444) is the word alach. It is found in only three Scriptural places. Its Psalm 53 reference is part of a well-known rebuke against atheists and all those who refuse to acknowledge God exists.
The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy (#444); there is none that doeth good, no, not one (Psalm 53:1 - 3, KJV).
Number 444 and man
Listing 444 in Strong's Greek listing (#G444) is the word anthropos. It is found 560 times in the King James and is the generic word the New Testament writers used to reference humans (Matthew 4:4, 19, 5:13, etc.). It is sometimes found at the beginning of modern words like anthropology, which is the study of humans, or anthropomorphic, attributing human attributes to non-humans things or entities.
More Info on Biblical Meaning of 444
We also see the pattern of 444 in one other set of dates related to Jesus' ministry. It is possible that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13 - 16, Mark 1:9) only four days before Atonement in 26 A.D. and the start of his ministry.
On Saturday, April 1 in 30 A.D., four days before the Lord's death, God the Father audibly confirms that Christ has been selected to glorify His name and be the perfect lamb to be sacrificed for all sin (see John 12:28 - 32). This is in harmony with the Old Testament, as Israel was commanded to select a lamb "without blemish" four days before it would be sacrificed on Passover (Exodus 12:1 - 3).
The pattern of the number 444 is manifested as there are 44 months and 4 days between Jesus' baptism and the day God the Father gave his final confirmation that Christ was the One chosen to die on Passover to make our salvation possible!

I'm adding this video because I had just finished this post message and shared it on FB. Right after sharing the post I heard Angels singing a heavenly sound and listened and I knew the song, "Because He Lives", and listened in awe, but then began singing with their Heavenly tune/sound. It was amazing and I thank Jesus for sending them to encourage me. I decided to add a youtube video of the Song. I do have to say while reading through the study and Bible verses for the Blog post, the Holy Spirit was present. May God Bless You and Keep you with His presense, Thank You Jesus, AMEN
I am also adding a scripture study I posted on my Bible Study Blog Live, GOD Blessings From My Rock
"He is not here; He has risen!"
"Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man' must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again." (Luke 24:6-7)
At death his Spirit went to the Father in heaven, and then returned to be clothed in the resurrection body, in which he appeared to the disciples over a period of 40 days before the ascension. The statement in John 20:17 tells us that the ascension of the resurrected Christ had not yet happened.
The resurrection amounts to the Father's clear signal that Jesus is the powerful Son of God who has conquered death and reigns as Lord of all (Romans 1:4; 4:25). The resurrection demonstrates that Jesus' “blood of the new covenant” saves His people from their sins.
Based on the wording in 1 Peter, there's an argument that Jesus spent the weekend between His death and Resurrection in Hell preaching to the souls who were already there, giving them a chance at the forgiveness available through His sacrifice not previously available before His death.
Jesus died and rose again not only so that we could receive forgiveness, but even more so, He died and rose again so that we might have life. It is through His death and resurrection that we receive life.
1 Corinthians 6:14 says, "And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power." Romans 6:8-11 says,"The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
"We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him." Romans 8:34 says, "Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." Romans 8:34 says, "Who then is the one who condemns? No one."
What are the 4 accounts of Jesus' resurrection? Jesus' resurrection appears in all four of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—only it is not the same exact story.
Now when Jesus meets with the disciples on the evening of the first day of the week, the day in which Jesus resurrected, his first words were “Peace Be With You.” Not only are they uttered as a culmination of Jesus' previous teaching, they are also filled with meaning because of his death-burial-resurrection.
Post-resurrection miracles attributed to Jesus are also recorded in the Gospels: A miracle similar to the miraculous catch of fish, also called the catch of 153 fish to distinguish it from the account in Luke, is reported in the Gospel of John but takes place after the Resurrection of Jesus.
Why did Jesus rise from the dead on the third day? Jesus was adamant about the third day because it represents God's pattern of creating new life and establishing a covenant with humanity.
How do you know Jesus was resurrected? In 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Paul gives a list of people to whom the risen Jesus appeared. These witnesses to see the resurrected Jesus include the Apostle Peter, James the brother of Jesus, and, most intriguingly, a group of more than 500 people at the same time.
How many times did Jesus appear after the resurrection? The Bible records at least eight appearances of the resurrected Jesus to different people at various times and locations over a 40-day period before He ascended into heaven.
What is the power of Jesus' resurrection? His resurrection brought unquantifiable blessings to the Church and the world. His resurrection reminds us that he was raised by the Spirit of the Father, and that same Spirit dwells in us and would give life to our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11).
"With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all (Acts 4:33).
What lessons do we learn from the death and resurrection of Jesus? Because of Jesus' resurrection, you can live a forgiven life. Because Jesus went to the cross and overcame death, His forgiveness can turn your failures into acts of faith and faithfulness. You can place your trust in His death and resurrection and receive forgiveness for all your sins.
Psalm 107:2, says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy...”
1 Peter 1:3 says, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
