What does the number 88 signify?

Answer 1

nothing really. The number 8 signifies new beginnings in the Bible. It s a reason for a verse like Genesis 17:12 which says to circumcise the child on its 8th day following its birth. Its to signify a new spiritual beginning or birth. The circumcision was to be a sign of that anyway, it was a foreshadowing of a new birth that was to take place, being born again, what happens immediately following when one place ones faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. They have a new life, a new beginning, all things become new, old things are to pass away. If there is a number that is used in scripture to signify new beginnings, like the one attained at salvation, it is the number 8, but 88 in all honesty has no significant value within the scriptures.

Answer 2

There is not a special significance to the number 88 but broken down to a single digit, it is the number 7 (8+8=16; 1+6=7). 7 is the number of the Spiritual Seeker in this lifetime. It is important for the number 7 to have a strong basis of faith throughout their life.
