-The “39” may appear before you as a strange object, but it is not. Perhaps as a lucky number. This number, in this corner is closely related to CHANCE, but it is not by chance that you are looking at it.
-In the chapter “39” of the book of the prophet Isaiah it says: “At least there is Peace and Truth in my days” (verse 8).
-In the song “39” by the band Queen they sing: “Don’t you hear my call, through your many years away? Don’t you hear me calling you?” -In ‘39’ they sing:” Don’t you hear my call, through your many years away? Don’t you hear me calling you? – The “39” is formed by the 3 and the 9. The first is known as a magic number that is evident in the three great substances that make up our nature (Earth, Fire, Water). Even the Christian Trinity of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. In both cases the 3 is conforming The Genesis; The beginning of the All. The 9 is the triplication of the first, the sublimation of its essence.
– In the charade the “39” is rabbit.
– 1939 Beginning of the Second World War
– 39 squared equals 1521.
– 39 times we knock on the door
– 39 times we look at the sky
– 39 is an infinite point
– The “39” may appear to you as an “extreme” object but it is not.
