Christians: Who can add to this?

Question

There is an overwhelming use of the number three in the Gospel (pointing of course to the "Trinity"), particularly in the events and story of the crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. Can anybody add to those mentioned below? (Also, I imagine there are many that can be found hidden in the OT...feel free to mention these as well!)...

Pilate spoke to the people three times in his judgment againt Jesus (Luke 23:22). Because Jesus was "deeply distressed and troubled" regarding His upcoming crucifixion, He prayed three times at Gethsemane. And in between these prayers he returned to speak to His disciples three times, saying on the third, "The hour has come." (Mk 14:41). Jesus fell three times as He carried the cross on way to being crucified. It was at the third hour he was crucified, at 33 years of age. There were a total of three crosses that day and there were three women mentioned by name, all named Mary. Additionally, the inscriptions on the Cross were in three languages. It was for three hours (from the 6th to the 9th) that darkness shrouded our Savior (which is marked by his speaking the three part call for help, “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?”).

?”). Also, Jesus had previously said that he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days and as well as foretold that Peter would deny Him three times in the events leading up to the Resurrection (“Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the rooster crow, thou shalt deny me thrice” – Matthew 26:34). It was on the third day that Jesus rose again from the dead and was "perfected" (Luke 13:32). After His resurrection, Jesus physically appeared to His disciples three times. And on that third time, Jesus asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" (After which, Peter said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus then replied, "Feed my sheep.)

Old Guy: great info...yes, 8 is a key number in Scripture too - particularly I believe signifying the "day of circumcision" (which in the NT is revealed to be a procedure of the heart)

Answer 1

In Peter's vision; Acts 11:9-11; But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. And this was done THREE times; and all were drawn up again into heaven. And behold, immediately there were THREE men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. Acts; 10:19; While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, THREE men seek thee.
Job 2:11; Now when Job's THREE friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn eith him and to comfort him.
Hebrews 11:23; By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid THREE months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
The conversion of Saul; Acts 9:9; And he was THREE days without sight, and neither did eat or drink.
Matthew 12:40; For as Jonas was THREE days and THREE nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be THREE days and THREE nights in the heart of the earth.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Your answer lies in “NUMBERS” imbedded in the Trans-Universal Superstructure (TUS) from the macrocosmic level down into the subatomic microcosmic level... mathematical equations, quantum equations and superstring equations. Numbers are not swayed by bias, opinion, worldview, or personal doctrine; they are what they are.

What we are beginning to see is a "Fingerprint" or a "Signature" of a "Creator", being a "Supra Eidolon" (Super Image) that exists outside of the TUS. Additionally, this “identity” is a singular digit (term) being the number “8”, and it points directly to “Yeshua” (Jesus), whose name transposes into the triadic form “888”. It happens to permeate literally everything in the universe (TUS), our Solar System, Earth and the human body.

Dr. Michio Kaku, America’s foremost theoretical physicist and co-founder of “Superstring M-Theory”, conveys that the mathematicians in the new hyperphysics are highly perplexed as to why the highest number calculable in all their superstring equations always comes up as the number “8”.

Here is a sample of the “Supra Eidolon Octaprime Signature”:

- 88 constellations are in the entire sky, in both northern and southern hemispheres of the celestial planosphere

- 8 sections exist to the celestial planosphere

- 8th planet from the Sun, Neptune, has 8 moons

- Neptune is 17 times the mass of the Earth (1+7=8)
(hence, Neptune is pointing to the Earth as a very "special" place)

- the mean distance in miles the Earth is from the Sun reduces to the number "8"

- the mean distance in miles the Earth is from the Moon reduces to the number "8"

- it takes precisely "8" minutes for sunlight to reach the Earth

- one day is not 24 hours, technically it is 23 hours - 59 minutes and 43 seconds, which when summed equals 8: 2+3+5+9+4+3=26=2+6=8

- 8 elements compose the crust of the Earth

- 8 elements compose oxygen including trace elements

- the circumference of the Earth at the equator will reduce to 8

- the Earth is covered with 71% water (7+1=8)

- the sq. miles of the entire globe of the Earth will reduce to 8

- the sq. miles of all the land above sea level will reduce to 8

- the human skeleton is composed of 206 bones (2+0+6=8)

- blood in the human body will always account for 8% of your body weight

- both the male and female reproductive systems are composed of 17 organs each (1+7=8)

- the phi golden ratio, 1:1.618, sums to 8: 1+1+6+1+8=17=1+7=8

- pi, 3.14, sums to 8: 3+1+4=8

- Jesus was born in the 8th month of October (octo- means "eight") of the Roman Julian calendar before it was changed to the 10th month of the Gregorian calendar

- Jesus was Crucified, Resurrected & Ascended in the 8th House of the Zodiac, Aries (the Ram, "the Lamb put forth"), based on the correct Ancient Egyptian chronolgy of the Zodiac starting with Virgo and ending with Leo

- the constellation construct of Aries is composed of "8" stars

- the 8 stars of Aries, forming its unique constellation construct, are on the Abrahamic Shield of Rabbinic Tradition, symbolizing the ram provided by God to Abraham as a substitute sacrifice in place of his son, Isaac, a forerunner "type" of Christ, "The Ram"

- the constellation Aries is in the 8th sector of the celestial planosphere, and penetrates the first sector

- Jesus resurrected on the 1st day of the week which is also the 8th day of the week, the day following the Sabbath, the 7th day

- Jesus "Transfigured" on the Mt of Olivets 8 days after speaking to His disciples

- Jesus appeared to His disciples in Galilee 8 days after He resurrected

- Bethlehem, Jesus' birth place, is at a 35-degree angle from Jerusalem (3+5=8)

- the angle of the incline of the great shaft called the Grand Hall in the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is called the "Christ Angle", because it is the same angle that the Great Pyramid, itself, is aligned to the birth place of Christ, Bethlehem; and that angle happens to be 26-degrees (26=2+6=8)

- Jesus' burial site is at a 116 degree angle from the Temple and Holy of Holies Altar in Jerusalem (1+1+6=8)

- the 8th letter to the Latin/English alphabet is "H", being equal to the Hebrew "chet" or "het" (pronounced: "ket") ... when Abram and Sara were blessed by God and given a new covenant (the Abrahamic Covenant) God "added" the letter "H" to their names, Abraham and Sarah; the "H" represents the Presence of the Creator

- the Greek number for 8 is represented by the letter "H", the 8th letter of the Latin/English alphabet

- Circumcision in the Old Testament occurred on the 8th day

- Joseph (the Increaser) of Genesis received from his father, Jacob (Israel) the coat (or tunic) of many colors when he turned 17 years old (17=1+7=8), the "super-abundant prosperity number"

- the numbers of the chapter and verse of each blessing in the scriptures of the Bible will always sum to 8

- a total of 8 resurrections are recorded in the entire Bible

Answer 4

I hadn't noticed that!
You're right, there are a lot of "3's"....
Hhhmmmm....I wonder why, why, why?
