All interesting, as long as we remember the beginning o the article, “While we can’t read too much into numerology....”

Why pick the number 22? Because it’s 2022 AD. But plenty of scholars, even serious Christian scholars, say the birth of Jesus may have been in 3 or 4 BC. So the year dedicated as 2022 may have no religious significance at all. So we may not be reading too much into this numerology exercise, but we are reading a lot into it.

Agreed. If any number is going to be used, it won’t be our calendar year. It will be the Hebrew calendar year - 5782.

“While we can’t read too much into numerology....”

It was always my understanding that numerology of ANY kind was considered "divination" by God, and thus was strictly forbidden by God.

Many fans and/or practitioners of "Bible code"-type stuff, however, say "But what WE do is DIFFERENT!". Of course they would. Not sure I'm convinced, though.
