SINCE YOU ARE ZEALOUS FOR SPIRITUAL GIFTS,
LET IT BE FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE CHURCH
THAT YOU SEEK TO EXCEL.

( The Spiritual Significance of Numbers )

Dear Reader,
The Name’s and Numbers used in the Scriptures have
spiritual significance. Thus knowing what they mean can
help one study the Word with a deeper understanding!

So Today Steve, we will take a look at some
instances of numbers used representatively, and thus
probably by Divine design. Next Sunday we will look at
Names used in the Bible and what they mean as well.

ONE: Denotes unity, and commencement. Such as the
first day (GEN 1:5)

TWO: Denotes opposition, enmity, and division. It can
also mean ‘difference,” for it is written that if two people both
agree 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 the
Apocalypse. (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 Forty
years.( EX 16:35), and Jesus withstood satan’s temptations
for Forty days. (MARK 1: 1 3).

FIVE: Denotes “Divine Grace.”

SIX: Denotes the human number. It is the hallmark
of mankind, God created man on the Sixth day (GEN 1-27-31);
man works six days a week. The hours of our day are a
multiple of the number Six. Also the great men in the Bible
that stood out against God (Goliath, Nebuchadnezzar, and the
satan ) 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 Nine
is seen in all cases when judgment is the subject.

TEN: Denotes Ordinal Perfection. Such as the Ten
Commandments ( EX 20:2-17) It is another new first after
the 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 or
factor of things that have to do with government in the Heavens
and 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 year
they rebelled’ (GEN 14:4)

Now Steve, I hope that will help you find a deeper level of
understanding when you read the Bible. Have a wonderful weekend,
and know that you and your family are in my prayers! Amen.

In His Love & Service,
