Matthew 10:26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[b] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
"All your hairs on your head are numbered"...Does that sounds familiar? God is the creator of everything and it seems everything is numbered. That's why i do believe in numerology. Hair is derived from cells and therefore every cell in your body is also numbered. There are about 100,000 to 200,000 strands of hair on your head and I would imagine God practically number every hair on your head....hair number 100,543, hair number 34,678 has grown... hair number 20,374 has fallen off etc. He knows every hair grown or fallen.
What the passage is saying is that do not be afraid of being killed Just as God has numbered evey hair on your head, He has also numbered everyone on earth and He will also know exactly how many numbers of God's people or who will be saved and how many or who will be killed. He certainly cares for His people much more than He cares for many sparrows. Sparrows here could also mean the apostles as they were sacrificial birds and their hair on the apostles' heads could also mean every individual righteous people/Christians. Hair on the head of God or the Lord is always presented as white such as in Daniel and Revelation and thus meaning pure and righteous.

Does anyone have other interpretation of the passage?
Many Blessings.
