Has anyone heard of Biblical Numerology?
My Pastor often preached that each number in the Bible has
it's significant meaning.
Such as number 1. If the name or topic is mentioned for the 1st
time in the Bible, there are some significant details in it. That
is the law of 1st interpretation.
For number 5, 5 is the number of grace. If the same name is
mentioned in the Bible for the 5th time, grace is given &
breakthroughs happens to the person. Such as Abram changed his name
to Abraham & the promised son was born.
6 is the number of speed. On the flip side, 6 can also stand for
self effort, rejection of God's salvation. In the ark of the
covenant (Exodus), in the wooden box made of acacia wood, it
contains 3 items, the Rod of Aaron, represents Man's rejection of
God's leadership. The Golden Pot of Manna, Man's rejection of God's
provisions. The 2 tablets of the 10 Commandmants, Man's rejection
of God's laws. This is a picture of "666", which is mentioned in
Revelations.
The golden pair of Cherubims sitting on the cover made of solid
gold represents judgement (remember the Cherubims outside the
Garden of Eden?). During the Passover Day, the High priest will
slay a lamb & sprinkle it's blood on the cover between the
cherubims to represent judgement paid & God will see the blood
instead of Man's rejections inside the box. The lamb is a picture
of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, which also happened on the
Passover Day.
Besides these numbers, it was also mentioned that 7 is the
number of Completion. 7 is also the number for Rest. Where God
created the world in 6 days & rested on thr 7th day. It was
also mentioned that Jesus rose to Heaven & sat on the right
hand of God on the 7th day. A sign of His finished work. Because
the high priest in the Old Covenant never gets to sit because his
work is never finished.
4 is the number of Jesus, represented by the 4 cannonical
Gospels, Mark, Peter, Luke, John. In the book of Exodus, the 12
tribes of Israel is lead by the 4 main tribes,Judah, Ephraim,
Reuben & Dan. Each of those 4 tribes has each banner which
contains the picture of a Man, an Eagle, a Lion & an Ox. It
happens that the 4 cannonical Gospels potrays Jesus as Man,
God(Eagle), King(Lion) & Servant(Ox).
As for other numbers, 3 represents the Holy Trinity, where the
human body is also represented as Trinity. Flesh, Soul (Our
emotions) & our Spirit. Jesus mentioned that He prospers you
just as your soul prospers. Rather than material prosperity, what
He meant was that your Soul (state of emotion) is the bridge
between your Flesh & your Spirit & when the Trinity
are linked, that is when breakthroughs will occur. Restored
relationships, destructive habits broken, renewal of Hope & so
on.
