Number 4 – A Perfect Number
The Pythagoreans believed the number four, the Tetrad, was a perfect number. They taught that the Tetrad symbolized God.
Tetraphobia
The number 13 is not such a nice number in the West and comes with a plethora of ill fated meaning. Tetraphobia or the fear of number 4 is common in East Asia. You may especially notice Tetraphobia in China, Japan and Taiwan. In these countries four is pronounced the same as the word for “death” (shi). Many apartment and business buildings, hospitals, and hotels will skip the room and floor number four. The same goes for the industry and their military vessels. When visiting never give a present made up of four pieces, for example never give four flowers. That would be a huge insult.
Pueblo People
The New Mexico flag has Pueblo symbology. The number four is sacred to the Pueblo people. The Zia Pueblo sun symbol is used on the flag of New Mexico, USA. The four sets of four strips symbolizes: four seasons – four directions – four corners of the earth – four elements
To be Hung, Drawn and Quartered
To be hung, drawn and quartered was the full punishment for high treason in medieval England. The condemned prisoner was sentenced to be dragged on a wooden frame to the place of execution (drawn) be hanged by the neck until almost dead (hung) be beheaded and divided into four parts (quartered). Edward Despard was the last person to be sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered on February 21, 1803.
I personally like the hung, drawn and quartered section. We do not have to believe any of the numerology stuff that is associated with any particular number - but the people, and I use the term loosely, are all into the numbers. Symbolism will be their downfall. So make of it what you will. #33 in the kill box and the #4. Hmmm.... some interesting takes.
