Now when you know the biblical meaning of number 8, it is not hard to conclude what the biblical meaning of number 888 is. First we have to say that number 888 is considered to be a number of Jesus. Actually, number 888 represents the numerical value for the Jesus’ name in Greek (Iesous).

Jul 26, 2020 888 Meaning in the Bible Angel number 888 is a very powerful message that should not be ignored. According to scripture, seeing 888 is symbolic of new beginnings, change, abundance, and family. If you are in need of a financial windfall, seeing the 888 angel number is a very good sign. Surprisingly 888 occurs in the Bible verse immediately following the one containing 666, quoted above. However it is hidden in the verse rather than clearly stated, as I will explain later. The Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and without the help of the Holy Spirit we can only understand them at the superficial level of the natural.

STRONGS NT 888: ἀχρεῖος
ἀχρεῖος, ἀχρεῖον (χρεῖος useful), useless, good for nothing: Matthew 25:30 (δοῦλος, cf. Plato, Alc. 1:17, p. 122 b. τῶνοἰκετῶντόνἀχρειοτατον); by an hyperbole of pious modesty in Luke 17:10 'the servant' calls himself ἀχρεῖον, because, although he has done all, yet he has done nothing except what he ought to have done; accordingly he possesses no merit, and could only claim to be called 'profitable,' should he do more than what he is bound to do; cf. Bengel, at the passage. (Often in Greek writings from Homer down; Xenophon, mem. 1, 2, 54 ἀχρεῖονκαίἀνωφελές. The Sept.2 Samuel 6:22 equivalent to שָׁפָלlow, base.) (Synonyms: cf. Tittmann ii., p. 11f; Ellicott on Philemon 1:11.)
unprofitable.

From a (as a negative particle) and a derivative of chre (compare chreia); useless, i.e. (euphemistically) unmeritorious -- unprofitable.
