This sort of superstitious behavior goes back millennia. The proto-Christian Gnostics in the first few centuries after Jesus lived wrote entire texts about discerning hidden messages in the gospels and in Jewish sacred texts. They often used numbers in much the same way this superstitious pastor is doing today. I wonder if he realizes that it one time mainstream Christians would have executed him for heresy? 🤣

It's funny, but of course it's also tragic how superstitious idiots will fight one another and even kill one another over their ignorant beliefs.
