Answer 2

Deborah,

Numbers are very important in the Bible story's history.

Eight represents salvation as well. There were 8 on the Noah's Ark and the Catholic church (I'm not) uses the 8-pointed star by the name of The Christ Star. It is featured on some of or a certain building. Always found over Bethlehem.

There are 88 constellations that before the written Bible were used to tell the Christ story. (See Gospel in the Stars--book.) This is why many will state that Christ was born on December 25th just as many of the ancient gods--a copy cat if you will.

Anyone knowing the Gospel story will recognise that during the Winter Solstice the Sun goes down to its lowest point in the sky for three days and rises again on the 25th.

The emotion of the day would have you believe that numbers must mean astrology but be careful who you listen to.

Kind regards,

Gary

P.S.--Don't miss that the number 888 in Greek stands for letters too--means Jesus!

Live a little bit on the edge and don't worry about numbers, ok?

Answer 5

Number according to the bible is very important in the bible history: At least 15 numbers stand out in the Bible: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 30, 40, 50 and 70. In order to strengthen this statement, one or two biblical examples are given.

The number “one” signifies absolute singleness. (Eph. 4:4-6. I cite one source here and presume the reader need no more as most of the biblical information is common knowledge.)

The number “two” indicates witness and support. The Ten Commandments were written on two stones. Jesus’ disciples were sent out in twos.

The number “three” is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. It is the number of unity, of accomplishment, and of the universe. The human race is traced to Noah’s three sons. Jesus’ earthly ministry lasted three years; he rose from the dead on the third day; and the Trinity is three Divine Persons in one God.

The number “four” is more of an earth-related number: four directions; four seasons; and four horsemen of the Tribulation.

The number “five” is the number of grace. There were five wise virgins; and five barley loaves used by Jesus to feed the 5000.

“Six” is the number pertaining to man. The world was created in six days. Israel marched around Jericho six times.

“Seven” is considered God’s number or the number of divine perfection because after the creation, God rested on the seventh day. Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 times 7.

“Eight” is the new beginning number. Eight were saved from the flood. Circumcision was to be performed on the eighth day.
“Nine” is the fullness of blessings number. The fruit of the Spirit is ninefold.

“Ten” is said to be the human government number. The northern kingdom had ten tribes. The revived Roman Empire will consist of ten nations.

“Twelve” is the divine government number. There were 12 tribes of Israel. Christ chose 12 apostles.

“Thirty” is associated with sorrow and mourning. Israel mourned for Moses for 30 days.

“Forty” is the number for trial and testing. It rained for 40 days during the flood. Moses spent 40 years in the desert. Jesus fasted for 40 days. Lent has 40 days.

“Fifty” is connected to celebration. Pentecost occurred 50 days after Christ’s resurrection.

“Seventy” is the number associated with human committees and judgment. Moses appointed 70 elders. The Sanhedrin was made up of 70 men. Jesus chose 70 disciples. Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 times 7.


The number SEVEN (a mystic number) is a mark of symbolism. Representing fullness, completeness, totality and universality. The number three is the divine number; four is the human number. The combinations of 3 and 4 - that is 7 and 12 - are the redemption numbers, the numbers connected with the reconciliation of earth and heaven.
FIRST
First (protos) referring to the first, the beginning. The first letter of the Greek alphabet ALPHA. The first born of the dead.

THIRD
Third (tritos) the divine number.

FOUR
Four (tessares) is the number of the world’s extension; seven is the number of God’s revelation in the world. So the....

four corners of the earth,
the four winds,
the four angels loosed from Euphrates,
and Jerusalem lying “four square”,

represent world wide extension.

SEVEN
Seven (hepta) is the number of perfection. Thus the seven churches represent the Church in its totality. Three and a half implies a number opposed to the Divine (seven), but broken in itself, and is overwhelmed by judgment and utter ruin.

SIX
Six is the number of the world given to judgment. The number of the beast, 666, in hundreds, tens, and units, verges upon, but falls short of seven. The judgments of the world are complete in six (seal and trumpet), then there is a pause. When seven comes, there comes “the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ.” Moreover, six is half of twelve.

TWELVE
Twelve (dodeka) is the number of the Church:

the twelve sons of Jacob,
the twelve tribes of Israel,
the twelve golden dishes for the dedication of the alter,
the twelve baskets of bread,
the twelve Apostles,
the twelve stars on the woman’s head,
the twelve gates and foundations of new Jerusalem.
Twice twelve is the number of the heavenly elders;
the tree of life bears twelve manner of fruit (Revelation 22:2);
the twelve apostles of “the Lamb” (Revelation 21:14; Luke 22:14).

THOUSAND (Millenium)
Thousand (thousand-thousands = chilioi-chilias) is the number used to represent, in biblical times, extremely large numbers. A vast or extended period of time or multitudes of people.

Answer 6

I don't know about that. Although the Da vinci code is fiction, it brings up more truth than the bible has. Study the cryptography of the Priory of Sion. They're cool.

Answer 7

Kabalists have no reason to evangelize like Christians or ridicule people like Atheists so you won't find many here.

You might find Christians who, like me, have done the research but they probably will not answer you since the only real answer to any question is Christ.

Answer 8

12 is the number for government. Which is why there are 12 tribes of israel and jesus found 12 disciples.

Answer 9

Go to Wikipedia and look up God's name. The seventy two characters etc, and you will be AMAZED by what you find.

Answer 10

all adds up to 23
