Hayley,

 

Where in South Africa do you live?  (you can email me directly)

 

444 carries several meanings depending on looking at the gematria or Strongs or Chapter/Verse study.  But, I find that you can create a picture from all the elements.

 

In gematria, we find that 444 means Perfect Love.

In Greek Strong’s 444 means Man

In Hebrew Strong’s 444 means Filthy

Job 15:16	How much more abominable 08581 and filthy 0444 [is] man 0376, which drinketh 08354 iniquity 05766 05766 like water 04325?
Psa 14:3	They are all gone aside 05493 , they are [all] together 03162 become filthy 0444 : [there is] none that doeth 06213 good 02896, no, not one 0259.
Psa 53:3	Every one of them is gone back 05472 : they are altogether 03162 become filthy 0444 ; [there is] none that doeth 06213 good 02896, no, not one 0259.

 

 

The fourth letter in the Hebrew is Daleth and Delta in Greek.  They are pictures of a DOOR.

 

The Greek Strong’s 4440 means Gate

As you can hopefully see, Man is the main subject of 444.

 

What is MAN that God is mindful of him?

 

Why does God seek after a man who is altogether become filthy?

 

Perfect Love

 

We could never understand the depth of God’s Love except by the extent that God demonstrated His perfect love toward us while we were yet sinners.

 

Therefore… Lift up your heads, O ye GATES; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting DOORS; and the King of glory shall come in.  Ps 24:7

 

When you see these things…. Lift up your heads…. Your redemption draws nigh.

 

 

Blessings,
