A LIST OF CERTAIN NUMBERS FOUND IN THE BIBLE WITH
THEIR SIGNIFICATION |
| |
|
|
1 |
|
Independency - one only, besides which there can be
none other ,as "one God and one Mediator" 1Tim.2:5.Heb.10:14
Supremacy the first.Matth.22:38,Acts.26:23, etc. Unity, internal
harmony,Deut.6:4,Gen.41:25. |
| 2 |
|
Difference, opposition, contradiction (evil sense)
Psalm.2 describes the enemy,Gen.7:2,1Kings 18:21,Matth.6:24.Good sense of
difference, see Gen. 1:27-28,Gen.6:19.Testimony-Exod.3:18,God's
testimony-the Bible in two parts. Cf. also.
Mark.6:7,Rev.11:3.Help- (savior, salvation, etc.) Eccl.4:9.The 2nd book-
Exodus, Redemption. The 2nd person of the Trinity- the Savior. |
|
3 |
|
Divine fullness - (fullness, reality, actuality
).Three persons in the God head. Cf. 1 John 5:7- The Heavenly city a cube.
etc.
The third person-The Holy spirit the one who actualizes, Cf. also
Eph.5:18.Manifestation John.14:6; Prophet Priest &
king (Heb.1).Resurrection-associated with manifestation (of His power)
Matth.12:40.16:21. |
| 4 |
|
World number, universality.
Gen.2:10,Dan.7:2,3,Matth.24:31,Rev.7:1,Acts.10:11.Testing,trial,weakness,1Kings
18:33.Ezek.14:21,Dan.1:17,3:25,8:22.John 11:17,etc.
Note:- The four Gospels are really 3 plus 1 as the fourth is distinct from
the three. The three would thus represent
the manifestation of the Divine fullness, and the fourth "The Word in the
beginning, etc." The four provide the sense of
universality-the thought of the creature under trial, is also present. |
|
5 |
|
Responsibility of man,Lev.14:14,Ex.29:20.Five fingers,
five toes, etc. Five offerings (Lev.1-5)Matt.14:17,25:2. |
| 6 |
|
Divine restraint, hence human
limit.Num.35:6,Ex.16:26;20:9,John.2:6,Six when truly divided becomes
2x3,which yields
the thought of full development of enmity or opposition (two in the evil
sense) the full development of evil, thought
still under God's restraint. So the number of Antichrist is 666. |
|
7 |

completion of a series (hence a dispensational number).Gen2:1,
Gen.41;2,etc.Num.23:1,29.Dan.9:25,Matth.15:37.Rev.1:4.Used sometimes with evil
