( The Spiritual Significance of Numbers )
Dear Believers,The Name's and Numbers used in the Scriptures havespiritual significance. Thus knowing what they mean canhelp one study the Word with a deeper understanding! So Today Friends, we will take a look at someinstances of numbers used representatively, and thusprobably by Divine design.
ONE: Denotes unity, and commencement. Such as thefirst day (GEN 1:5)
TWO: Denotes opposition, enmity, and division. It canalso mean 'difference," for it is written that if two people bothagree in testimony it is conclusive.(DEUT 17.,6 & DEUT 19:15)
THREE: Denotes Divine perfection and completeness. Such as The Father, Son & Holy Spirit, often called the"Holy Trinity."
FOUR: Denotes things of the Earth. Such as The Four Winds (DAN 7:2); the Four corners of the Earth. (ISA II: 1 2)the Four rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden.(GEN 2:10-14) and of course the Four Horsemen of theApocalypse. (REV 6:1-8) The most significant multiple of four is Forty, which means"Probation." Such as rain flood the Earth for Forty days(GEN 7:12) The children wondered the wilderness for Fortyyears.( EX 16:35), and Jesus withstood satan's temptationsfor Forty days. (MARK 1: 1 3).
FIVE: Denotes "Divine Grace."
SIX: Denotes the human number. It is the hallmarkof mankind, God created man on the Sixth day (GEN 1-27-31);man works six days a week. The hours of our day are amultiple of the number Six. Also the great men in the Biblethat stood out against God (Goliath, Nebuchadnezzar, and thesatan ) are all emphatically marked with the number Six.(REV 13:18)
SEVEN: Denotes spiritual perfection. It is the hallmark of the Holy Spirit at work. Also the number Seven is the number which regulates every period of Incubation and Gestation,in insects, birds, animals, and mankind.
EIGHT: Denotes a new beginning.
NINE Denotes finality or judgment. The number Nineis seen in all cases when judgment is the subject.
TEN: Denotes Ordinal Perfection. Such as the TenCommandments ( EX 20:2-17) It is another new first afterthe Ninth digit, when numeration commences anew.
ELEVEN: Denotes disorder, and disorganization. (2 KINGS 25:2)and (JER 52:5)
TWELVE: Denotes Governmental perfection. It is the number orfactor of things that have to do with government in the Heavensand on Earth. Such as The Twelve Tribes of Israel, ( GEN 49:28)and Twelve Apostles. (MARK 3:14) etc.
THIRTEEN: Denotes rebellion. It is written: "In the thirteenth yearthey rebelled' (GEN 14:4)
Now Believers, I hope that will help you find a deeper level of understanding when you read the Bible. Have a Wonderful Week,and know that you and your family are in my prayers! Amen.
