33 47 | Knights of Malta, Knights of St. John, Knights of Rhodes | A Tradition of Master Numerology


The Knights of Malta are Christian Warriors from the Middle Ages. 
  • Knight = 2+5+9+7+8+2 = 33
  • Malta = 4+1+3+2+1 = 11
  • Malta = 13+1+12+20+1 = 47
 The Knights of Templar are also known as the Knights of St. John and the Knights of Rhodes.
  • St. = 19+20 = 39
  • John 10+15+8+14 = 47
  • Rhodes = 9+8+6+4+5+1 = 33
Let us quickly examine this excerpt from Wikipedia about the Middle Ages organization.
The Knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta, so known as the Hospitallers, Order of Hospitallers, Knights of Saint John and Order of Saint John, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders during the Middle Ages
The Hospitallers probably arose as a group of individuals associated with an Amalfitan hospital in the Muristan district of Jerusalem, which was dedicated to St John the Baptist and founded around 1023 by Blessed Gerard Thom to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. (Some scholars, however, consider that the Amalfitan order and Amalfitan hospital were different from Gerard's order and its hospital.[1]) After the Latin Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own Papal charter, and it was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily.
What this shows, is further evidence of the importance of these numbers, and the tradition they have.  It is interesting to think that the Ivy League Schools took on the word "Rhodes" as the name for the most prestigious scholarship a person can earn.
