Our Sunday School teacher gave us this list some time ago. She has taught us that numbers and names mean a lot in the Bible. Today I want to share the number list with you.
Let me preface this by saying I don't know where the list came from, but in our studies so far, I have found it to be spot on.
one- unity
two- union, division, witnessing
three- resurrection divine completeness and perfection
four- creation world
five- grace or God's goodness
six- weakness of man, evils of Satan, manifestation of sin
seven- completeness, spiritual, perfection
eight- new birth, new creation or new beginning
nine- fruit of Spirit, divine completeness from the Lord
ten- testimony, law and responsibility
eleven- judgment and disorder
twelve- governmental perfection
thirteen- depravity and rebellion
fourteen- deliverance or salvation
fifteen- rest
sixteen- love
seventeen- victory
eighteen- bondage
nineteen- faith

one hundred nineteen- resurrection day, Lord's Day
one hundred twenty- divine period of probation

one hundred fifty three- fruit bearing

Here are two easy illustrations: David slew Goliath with 5 smooth stones.
5= God's goodess and grace. The world was created in 7 days by God. 7= completeness and spiritual perfection.
The next time you are involved in a Bible study or sermon, remember these and prove them. I would love to hear of your illustrations!

ReplyDeleteoccasionally i live in thirty five of practising to make a thirty one, but the reality is that i'm being held in virtual thirty eight, and there is no time to fifteen from all my household chores, otherwise it's twenty three for me.
