Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| Subject: What is Biblical Numerology? Tue Apr 30, 2013 1:36 am | |
| It seems quite obvious that the Bible uses numbers in patterns. Who can deny that 40 is significant? Jesus was in the desert for 40 days, and the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years. Whether or not the analysis of these number patterns is accurate is up for debate. But I present to you this information condensed from the book Number in Scripture by Bullinger.
One of the interesting features of Hebrew and Greek is that in both written languages there are no numeric characters. Where we have numbers and letters, they have only letters. So, in each language the letters are also used as numbers. In a small way we do the same thing in English. For example, is "O" a zero or a letter in the alphabet? Is "l" a one or a small L? When they are used, the context tells us which is which and we have no problem understanding it. The same goes for Hebrew and Greek. They knew when they were writing numbers and when they were writing letters.
But the interesting thing is that when a word is written, it also has a numeric equivalent. For example, the word "Jesus" in Greek is "iasous." Since each letter has a numeric equivalent, we can add up each number and get a value. The value is the gammatria. Therefore, the gammatria of "Jesus" in Greek is 888 because i = 10, a = 8, s = 200, o = 70, u = 400, s = 200. There are many interesting 'games' that can be played with this feature of Greek and Hebrew and much of it is absurd. But, some of the numeric relationships are interesting.
Whether not the numbers really do have a significance is still debated in many circles. Nevertheless, I present the information for your examination.
1 THE NUMBER OF UNITY. Father. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Ephesians 4:5 "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." 2 THE NUMBER OF DIVISION. The Son who has two natures: human and divine. There are 2 Testaments: the Old and New. Man is Male and Female. Rom. 9 speaks of two vessels: one for honorable use and the other for dishonorable use. Two types of people: Sheep and Goats. There are two ages, this age and the age to come: Matt. 12:32; 13:39,40,49; Mark 10:30. 3 THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God), all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities. - The three qualities of universe are each three:
Time is one yet three Space is one yet three Matter is one yet three Past Present Future Height Width Depth Solid Liquid Gas We live in a Trinity of Trinities: Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made..." If you are a trichotomist then man is made of three parts: Body Soul Spirit Human abilities are three Thought Word Deed
The divine attributes are three fold: God is:
Omniscient Omnipresent Omnipotent Love Light Spirit Holy Righteous Just
Three bear witness (1 John 5:8 Spirit Water Blood
Christ is Three Shepherds The Good Shepherd (John 10:14-15) - speaking of His death The Great Shepherd (Heb. 13:20) - speaking of His resurrection The Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4) - speaking of His glory
The Three appearances of Christ: Past: Present: Future:
Has appeared (Heb. 9:26) to put away sin Is appearing (Heb. 9:24) in the presence of God Will appear (Heb. 9:28) to those who await Him
The Father spoke from Heaven three times: - Matt. 3:17, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." - Matt. 17:5, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him." - John 12:28, "I have both glorified it [the Father's name], and will glorify it again."
Both the Tabernacle and the Temple consisted of three parts: The Court The Holy place The Sanctuary Regarding the Tabernacle: The Holy of Holies was a cube (10 cubits x 10 cubits x 10 cubits) Regarding the Temple: The Holy of Holies was a cube (20 cubits x 20 cubits x 20 cubits)
