Christian believers know that Jesus Christ was 33 years old when he passed away. Some claim that on the day of the execution there was a solar eclipse, it happened on April 3, and the soul of Jesus flew away at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It is difficult to prove whether this is what actually happened, but lovers of numerology and mystical signs see a special magical meaning in this hit parade of triplets, associating it with the Holy Trinity. Some argue that a person at the age of Christ should expect global changes in life and be extremely careful. Is this true and what to expect at thirty-three?
What does the age of Christ mean?
This phrase has its own characteristics and is directly related to the Bible and the Gospel, holy books for Christians. This figure represents the middle of life. In The Divine Comedy, 35-year-old Dante Alighieri wrote that he begins his journey through hell, heaven and purgatory, having just passed half of his life and reached the age of Jesus.
Under Christ, it was believed that a person reached maximum physical strength at age 20, while his mind continued to develop until age 30. The Messiah ended his life after reaching maximum mental and physical development, therefore the age of Jesus Christ symbolizes the flowering of a man. During this period, he is ready for the greatest achievements. This is why the biblical story becomes so tragic: the Messiah would have managed to do many more great things during the remaining natural half of his life if it had not been interrupted unexpectedly and cruelly.
But flourishing health and mental activity does not mean that a man is immensely happy. On the contrary, he looks at the past years with great skepticism; many note that at the age of 33 they reached the age of Christ, but great things never happened. Others, on the contrary, perceive this as a reason to take stock and indicate the direction of their future life.
Everything has its time
Let me give you some real life examples. I remember a young couple came to me for a consultation. They really wanted children, but they did not have their own home, and with a small salary, the lovers rented a room in a dorm. And because of this, they did not dare to have a child, because they themselves were unsteady on their feet. When they reached the age of Christ, everything was decided, as if by itself. The guy discovered a new activity that began to generate considerable income, and his girlfriend (now his wife) gave birth to twins.
One more example. A good friend of mine is a very talented person in almost everything. But she couldn’t decide what she wanted from life, or whether she had chosen the right path. With the age of Christ, the woman seemed to receive her sight. I gave up my hobby, which seemed to me at that time to be quite a promising and successful business that also brought in income. She completely changed her life, changed her qualifications, and also her image. Now he is a successful chef in his own restaurant, where I enjoy going for lunch.
So why do many people think that this stage is dangerous? Yes, probably because they don’t have a clear idea of what awaits them next. And therefore, the closer the 33rd anniversary approaches, the more worries and concerns arise in this regard. I assure you that you should not panic, but I advise you to celebrate your birthday calmly, with a good mood and lightness in your soul, after which you will understand for yourself that your fears were in vain. And of course, don’t forget to check out my blog, where I’m ready to answer any questions that concern you!
Or maybe a midlife crisis?
Modern psychologists call this period, which has sacred significance for lovers of mysticism. A person begins a deep internal analysis, he is already smart and calm, hormones do not spray out of him, like a 20-year-old. A person knows what he wants, why and how to achieve it; during these years, crazy ideas often come about a sudden change of job or place of residence, and in most cases they turn out to be quite successful.
Numerologists believe that until the age of 21, a person goes through 3 turns of development: at 7, 14 and 21 years. Then the period increases from 7 to 12 years. Adding 21 and 12, we get 33, or the age of Christ. This is one of the largest revolutions, coinciding with the onset of half of the average human life.
Worries about one’s own thoughts and religious prejudices lead to the fact that this age, due to the violent death of Jesus Christ, is associated with something dangerous and tragic. Some people refuse to celebrate their birthday, believing that it will bring trouble. Such thoughts are similar to the idea that celebrating a teenager's 13th birthday has unpleasant characteristics and will bring trouble.
You can believe prejudices or not, but it cannot be denied that the age of Christ plays a huge role for men and women, regardless of the sacred background and signs according to which the period is called dangerous.
Rituals
Esotericism plays a significant role in our lives. And, according to the literature on the topic of the age of Christ, before the 33rd birthday, you can create a program that is carried out in three stages.
The first stage starts in the last ten days of your 32nd birthday, that is, before your birthday. We write one item to ourselves every day: we are talking about some real complaint against your parents, children, colleagues or friends. And we live every day, according to the point, that is, we think all day about what they did wrong to you, how it could be corrected. So that you understand, this is necessary so that all your negativity remains behind and does not move with you into a new life.
So, the first stage was completed, now the birthday itself. Let me draw your attention, friends, to the fact that you need to clearly know the date and even time of your birth. There is no need to organize luxurious celebrations on this day; it is enough to spend it with your closest people. Namely, at the moment of birth it is worth sitting in complete silence with good thoughts. So to speak, transform. I think there is nothing complicated here: I am sure that you will succeed.
The third stage is the same as the first. One day - one point. Only now these should be good, positive points about your family, work, friends and colleagues. And you should do it, thinking all day only about pleasant things. If your 33rd birthday is approaching and you are very worried about it, follow these simple rules and your life will take on new meaning.
Age of Jesus in other religions
Not only Christians have noticed that at the age of 33 there is a sharp change in life and worldview. What does the age of the Savior Christ mean in other religions? In Hindu culture, a period in a person’s life passes under the sign of the chakra, which is called Vishuddha. This chakra is responsible for brilliant thoughts, for the ability to “see through.” Why are people of Christ's age more often approached for advice? They earn a reputation for being able to get to the root and find ingenious solutions to problems where others have given up. A man or woman is able to focus on the essence of the task without being distracted by other small problems, and for this they are valued at work. If you have long wanted to get creative, at the age of Christ at 33 is the time to start. According to Hindu beliefs, most works of genius, paintings, and books can be created at the age of 30-35.
Jesus' age, 33, means a lot. This is a time of great change, the flourishing of life and great achievements. And it depends only on the person himself whether he will spend this time for the benefit of himself and his loved ones or miss opportunities.
The meaning of the number 33 in the Bible
Reading the Holy Scripture again and again, you can find several references to the number 33. Orthodox people attach special importance to this number after the departure of Jesus Christ to Heaven at this age. For 33 years our Savior revealed Himself to people, sharing shelter and food with the common people.
Scientists have calculated that Jesus Christ was crucified when he was 33 years old.
The Lord God created a perfect world in which each number has its own meaning and purpose:
- the first three chapters of Genesis contain 33 references to Elohim, the God of gods;
- David, a man after the Creator’s heart, reigned for the same number of years;
- 33 children were born in Jacob's family;
- Adam, and then all of humanity, was created with 33 spines.
During three years of ministry, the Savior gave people miracles 33 times.
Psychological aspect of the 33-year-old crisis
The problem is accompanied by a physiological and psychological aspect. The latter causes depression in men,
Therefore, it is necessary to fight it first of all.
Basically, depression can occur if a man has problems with work or family. In the first case, you need to weigh everything correctly and come to the conclusion whether a man really needs this job. The best option would be to change it.
If there are conflicts in the family, then you need to realize and reconsider your behavior. Taking a step towards each other can solve all family problems.
If the psychological situation is only heating up, then you will need to consult a specialist
, which deals with such problems.
If the depression is deep, then the only way to overcome the midlife crisis is medication:
- Antidepressants. These drugs help combat depression, as well as improve your mood and overall well-being.
- Tranquilizers. Treatment with these drugs is short-term and the result occurs only after 2 weeks
, but the result will be very good. But they should not be abused. - Vitamins. To normalize the nervous system you need to use vitamin
B. You can also take other vitamins to improve the overall tone of the body. - Mood stabilizers. The drugs are prescribed to suppress depression and stabilize a person’s mood.
Treatment with medications should only be carried out with the help of a specialist.
Self-medication can be harmful to health.
Age of perfection 33 years
The age of Jesus at the time of his crucifixion is not mentioned in the New Testament; the description of events only includes a solar eclipse. Astronomers studied the movements of the planets and calculated the date of Christ’s departure from earthly life. Luke in his Gospel writes that the Savior began his ministry at the age of 30. Before this, he spent three periods of life in a human body.
- Childhood under the patronage of the Virgin Mary, her care and education in everyday sciences.
- In his youth he learned the trade of carpentry, the rudiments of which were taught to him by his earthly father Giovanni, and then by other craftsmen of the city;
- Youth - development of construction crafts, economics, finance and relationships between people.
From childhood, Jesus amazed everyone with his knowledge, ability to learn and ability to quickly master any profession. People admired his holiness and wisdom.
The age of 33 is considered the transition to maturity. Aging will begin later. Now maturity and self-awareness have come, the purpose of existence in this world.
The presence of the number 3 does not end there. Jesus died on Friday at 3:00 pm. The exact date has been determined: April 3.
Service
There came a time in Jesus' life when he went out into ministry. And again we see a certain time period. The time came, and He came to the Jordan.
There was also a moment of anticipation in the lives of the first disciples. They did not begin their ministry until the day of Pentecost. Having received the baptism of the Spirit, they, being led by the Spirit, began to do the works of God.
How does this relate to our lives? If we are faithful to God in fulfilling His will, if we are His vessels, then we will definitely hear God’s call, the word of God, directing us to fulfill His destiny.
We see Paul who, after being born again, was in silence for three years. And only after this period God called him to the apostleship. Likewise, the 12 disciples first followed Jesus. With His help, they enjoyed power and after 3 years began their independent ministry. Paul took Timothy and other brothers with him to learn. Then they began their own ministry. And the guidance was the Word and the prophetic gifts.

Death of Jesus
We see that Jesus' death came after He had completed all He had to do on earth. And the fact that He was crucified was the fulfillment of the will of God for our salvation. When His life in the flesh ended on the cross, we no longer see any time intervals. 33 years is the full age of Christ.
It is important for us to understand what “the measure of the full stature of Christ” is. The word “measure” means a unit of measurement, a certain criterion. It turns out that
– Jesus came to do the will of God
– lived in accordance with his purpose
– fulfilled the will of God TO THE END.
That is, the measure, the criterion shows the importance of FULFILLING the will of God.
HOW IT HAPPENS WITH WOMEN
Don't women have this crisis? Happens. The midlife crisis most often affects career-oriented women. There are several options here, which depend on the woman’s focus on a career or raising children.
Marina, 34 years old: “I manage a large department. It took me a long time to get to this point, getting a job at a company as a secretary after graduation. And now, after I turned 34, it hit me like a bullet: time is running out! My husband and I have enough money, but who will we transfer our assets to? All my friends managed to give birth to some one, and some two, and even three children! Honestly, my professional achievements are higher than any of them. But now I have a “fixed idea” - a child...”
A woman with a successful career who did not have time to give birth to a child. In this case, she will begin to compare herself with her friends who have managed to realize themselves in the quality of a mother.
If this sounds like you, then nature itself reminds you that a woman’s natural purpose is to bear and feed children.
Tatyana, 31 years old: “My children have grown up: the eldest goes to school, the youngest goes to the preparatory group of kindergarten. I have a good education, I went to work, but very soon I got married... And at the age of 33, I realized that something was missing in my life. The children have grown up, they rarely get sick, and they do not need my increased care. I looked around: my childless friends had earned money for an apartment, they go on vacation abroad several times a year, and I was still near the stove and at the vacuum cleaner...”
A woman initially career-oriented who was unable to realize herself in this capacity, for example, due to giving birth and raising children.
If you recognize yourself in this portrait, then you need to think about starting work or moving to a new place. You may not reach the heights that your free friends have achieved, but you will expand your social circle. And your careerist friends may envy you just as much!
"Male" option. In this case, the woman is career-oriented; the maternal instinct has not awakened. She begins to compare herself with women who are more successful in their careers, as well as men. Otherwise, the crisis is similar to a man’s, only with less craving for betrayal.
In any case, a crisis is good, because if it is handled correctly, it takes us to a new level of personal growth. And secondly, it will definitely end, and peace will come in your soul again. All that remains is the desire to conquer new heights.
Obedience. Obedience
The next thing we hear about Christ is that he is in obedience. Lives His life. There are many theories about what Jesus did, how he helped Joseph with his carpentry. What is important to us is exactly what is written about him.
Each of us must be in submission to each other and to God. Each must consider himself inferior to the other.
