The Significance of the number 3121

It's an address isn't it? But does it have a more significant meaning? Any ideas? I've tried looking up a biblical reference in revelations, but don't really know what I'm doing. Sorry if this has been asked before... can anyone offer any suggestions?

shrug

shrug It just a trademark that means Prince to me. Maybe it's some personal childhood memory. I think we'd have to wait for the memoirs to actually find out.

3+1+2+1=7

7 in biblical terms means completion

7 is also the number of Prince's birthday

June 7,1958

I believe 3121 stands for "Yahweh" or God.

I've already heard of 2 people come to this conclusion. My bro is a history teacher and totally into reading all sorts of historical stuff (I sound like an idiot trying to explain to you that he is a smart dude). Anyways, he's not a Prince fan at all but when 3121 came out I told him about it and about how everyone was trying to figure out what it means and wondering if it was related to something in the bible...anyways a few days later he told me that it stands for Yahweh and how the numbers translate into that. Yeah I know this is not much of an explanation BUT a few months ago another orger posted a looooong and detailed and extremely complicated explanation that came to the exact same conclusion, that 3121 stood for Yahweh.

I am not positive about this, but it would seem to make sense. Do you really think that Prince is gonna be hyping "3121" so much, making it his website, putting it on t-shirts, making an album out of it, making his brand name, if it was JUST his random house number address? I mean I could understand writing a song about it, even an album, but obviously the "3121" thing has gone past that....the "3121" thing doesn't seem to be going away so I think it's fair to assume that the meaning behind it is much deeper than his one-time house number where he threw a few parties at.

Yeah but he could have also called it "2311" or "3112" or "4111" since those all add up to 7 as well. I don't think that's why it's called "3121."

THIS is the post I was talking about....my brother came to the same conclusion although I don't remember the explanation being as complicated..,..but this answer makes total sense and I think they are right.
