我很喜欢一首80年代的广东歌。
跃动的旋律，轻快的节奏，雄厚的唱腔，再辅以鬼马玩味并恰到好处的歌词，使这首歌充满生命力。

数字人生
作曲：Sandy Linzer/Denny Randell
作词：潘源良
编曲：刘志远
演唱：林子祥


歌曲有一段说明了人生与数字是息息相关的。

“填满一生 全是数字
谁会真正 知是何用意
烦恼一生 全为数字
圆满的掌 握问谁可以”

有很多人无可避免地活在数字的世界里。
我们的收入，银行的存藉，每月的开支，住处的地址，电话联络号码，各从其类的商业买卖活动等等，都离不开数字的运用。
有好些人更是沉迷于数字赌博，诸如万字票，赛马之类的赌博活动，仿佛把自己的成就，对财富的欲望都投注于，把人生都寄托于不正当的数字游戏，进而泥沼深陷而不得翻生。
再者，现在是数码时代，我们周遭都被很多有形的，无形的数码产品与网络所笼罩着。
这不禁令我想起 20世纪杀人网络的一些片幕。

是的，我们的一生都与数字有关。
且让我们看一看圣经是如何看待数字。

“Numbers (or mathematical figures) are never used promiscuously in the Bible, but rather take on spiritual meaning and significance; and for the searcher after truth there is found "the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Proverbs 25:2). ”

“All creation is stamped with the "Seal of God" in numerics. God has made man himself a creature of time and therefore, a creature of number. Therefore, it is consistent with the very nature and being of God that His Book, the Holy Bible, should be stamped with this same "Seal" - Biblical numerics.”

“The simple numbers of 1 through 13 have spiritual significance
Multiples of these numbers, or doubling and tripling, carry basically the same meaning only intensifying the truth. It is important to note that the first use of a number in scripture generally conveys its spiritual meaning throughout the rest of the passage.”

为何我要大费周章地解释关于数字的事情呢？
因为在接下来的篇幅，我会与大家分享一连串关于数字的故事。
那是一个关于 3 个 3 号的故事。
一切就跟 333 有关，也从 333 开始。
就从 2009 年 3 月3 号凌晨 3 时 30 分开始............
