This is a monumental effort—an impressively centralized database that certainly deserves more attention. Anyone with an interest in numerology or gematria should check out this page by Contrility.
To item 2: The Golden Ratio (Φ ≈ 1.618)
Perhaps the most famous of all sacred numbers, the Golden Ratio, also known as Phi, is known for its appearance in various natural and architectural forms. Interestingly, it also appears in Matthew 16:18, in thematically consistent terms, where Jesus appoints Peter as the first leader of His church, initiating a process of renewal that continues to this day, just as Jesus had predicted.
The mathematical and thematic connection here is RENEWAL. The number 1.618 serves as the root value for the infinite Fibonacci sequence, a pattern that reflects the endless cycle of growth and transformation.
Matthew 16:18 — “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”

A truly a sacred number indeed.
