Do You Know The Numbers?

Have you noticed how significant knowing "the" number is. I mean, people check the NASDAQ and Stock Market numbers religiously. The amount of weight an in utero-baby (fetus) puts on is charted by every ounce monthly to ensure the baby is thriving. We do countdowns for importand events. Numbers are crucial in Human life. The weather for the day, days of the week, months, and years, are all about the numbers. There are numbers we must know and many contain mystery. I love numbers.

The original way of numbering days, months and years have changed. We are not using numbers as when mankind was first created. Like, the new year used to start on a different month number. The New Year began originally, as far as I can research, on the THIRD month, MARCH. As time has passed and for what reasons I do not know, now the New Year, for most, begins January, in the ELEVENTH month of CAPRICORN followed by PISCES. No I'm not encouraging LIVING by HOROSCOPES the zodiacs. I'm talking NUMBERS everywhere you look. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Should Christians read Horoscopes? 

Does this kind of SWITCH change anything? I don't know. What I do know is the MARCH ARIES are the NEWBORN baby of Astrology, the beginning and first with my favorite number THREE, and end with FEBRUARY PISCES, which is DEATH and wisdom; the niumber TWELVE. Now we begin in JANUARY CAPRICORN which is LATE ADULTHOOD and end with DECEMBER AQUARIUS, penultimate sign of MATURITY. Why the CHANGE and does it mean anything significant? Who even CARES?

The ZODIACS are FIXED in the sky. Man just changed the order of the beginning of what they marked as the New Year with theses zodiacs prominent in the heavens for a certain month of each year. There is a pattern of Human growth (babe through old age) attached to the year by the signs, But what about the numbers? In the Bible numbers have certain meanings and patterns that are a constant. Fixed.  NUMEROLOGY noticed this and ASSIGNED meaning to them. Did they CRACK some ancient CODE, possibly established by God? DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Number Two (2) Magical Mysterious Numerology?

I know, you're ready to FIGHT because a Christian is pushing the DEVIL occult worship of ASTROLOGY. Calm down! Not pushing anything. First of all, are you actually saying what God uses as SIGNS for His creation is EVIL. I can agree on a certain level, but it didn't START off that way in GENESIS in the Creation account.  DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: People Are Always Looking For A Sign.

In Christianity we already know the power of the number SEVEN and TWELVE. But, do you nnow the Bible repeatedly USES NUMBERS in patterns and significance. I want to do a series of BLOG posts about INDIVIDUAL nimbers. For as long as I can REMEMBER in my life, the number THREE just seemed to show up in my life and those times were significant. The repetition of the number three made me look the number up from every angle of what the number THREEcould means. What I discovered abi=out the number three is so PROFOUND, it became my communication PORTAL when me and God communicated. I even have a three tattoo.

God USES the number three for manifestation. It's the number of the TRINITY and SACRIFICE. The English word "three" used for the number 3 is recorded 485 times in 426 King James Bible verses. It occurs 410 times in the Old Testament and has 75 occurrences in the New Testament. The Old Testament writings that use "three" the most are the book of 1Chronicles (35 times) then Numbers (33). The New Testament books that use the word the most are the book of Acts (17 times) followed by Matthew (12). The first use of the word is found in Genesis and its last is in Revelation. I have 3 daughters all born in the month of 3-March. I paid ATTENTION because NONE of their due dates were for March. 

The number 333 is widely viewed as a symbol of God's divine presence, completeness, and spiritual awakening.is often interpreted as an amplification of the Holy Trinity (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and is deeply tied to a powerful promise of divine guidance and communication. Christians also see three as symbolic of the Trinity the triune nature of God: as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In the Bible, the number 30 primarily symbolizes divine calling, dedication. and SPIRITUAL MATURITY. It frequently marks a transition from preparation to active service, representing the age at which an individual reaches full physical and mental maturity to take on major spiritual and leadership responsibilities. Jesus BEGAN His ministry at the AGE of 30 and He ministered for 3 years before his cruixifixion rising the third day. 

What about the number 12, which shows up often in the Bible? The meaning of 12 is that it symbolizes God's power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness. The words “twelve” and “twelfth” are used 212 times in the Bible. A large majority of these uses are connected to, and point to, the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel, which formed the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 sons/tribes begins in Genesis, and these “reminders,” pointing back to them, continue all the way to the last book of the Bible in Revelation. Following are most of the significant uses of “12” in the Bible. I love this, so I had to share it. Significance of the number 12 (twelve) in the Bible. - JesusAlive.cc. 

The 12 sons/tribes of Jacob/Israel (Gen 35:22)(Gen 42:13,32)(Gen 49:28)(Lk 22:30)(Acts 7:8)(Acts 26:7)(James 1:1)(Rev 21:12).God promised that 12 princes would come from Ishmael (Gen 17:20)(Gen 25:16). At Elim, there were 12 wells of water (Ex 15:27)(Num 33:9). There was to be 12 “cakes” (loaves of bread) in the Tabernacle (Lev 24:5).

During the dedication of the Tabernacle, the leaders of Israel made an offering of 12 oxen (Num 7:3). The total of other offerings for the Tabernacle dedication was 12 silver platters, 12 silver bowls, 12 gold pans, 12 young bulls, 12 rams, 12 male lambs in their first year, and 12 kids of the goats (Num 7:84,87). These were brought over a period of 12 days (Num 7:78).

God ordered Moses to collect 12 rods, one from each of the 12 tribes, and place them in the Tabernacle. The rod that blossomed would be the man He had chosen (Aaron) (Num 17:1-9). Twelve spies were sent to spy out the Promised Land (Num 13)(Deut 1:23).

Twelve stones were to be taken from the Jordan River to serve as a memorial that God had dried up the Jordan so that the Ark Of The Covenant and the people could cross it (Josh 4:1-9,20). When the men of Gibeah killed a man’s concubine, he cut her body into 12 pieces and sent it throughout all the territory of Israel (Judg 19:29).

Solomon’s throne had 6 steps leading up to where he sat, and there was a lion on each side of the six steps (12 total) (1 Kin 10:18-20)(2 Chr 9:19). Solomon appointed 12 governors over all of Israel (1 Kin 4:7). DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Do you believe in angels and other celestial beings?

A large basin called “the Sea” was built to hold water for the priests, and it was set upon 12 oxen statues (1 Kin 7:25).

The prophet Ahijah tore the garment he was wearing into 12 pieces (1 Kin 11:29-30). Elijah built an altar with 12 stones (1 Kin 18:31-32). Elisha was plowing with 12 yoke of oxen when Elijah called him (1 Kin 19:19).

Evil Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king (2 Kin 21:1)(2 Chr 33:1). Nehemiah was appointed to be the governor in the land of Judah for 12 years (Neh 5:14). Haman sought to destroy all of the Jews in the 12 month (Es 3:7,13)(Es 9:1). God’s judgment fell on King Nebuchadnezzar 12 months after his dream (Dan 4:28-33).

Jesus chose 12 disciples (Mt 10:1-5)(Mt 20:17)(Mk 3:14-19)(Mk 14:17-20)(Lk 6:13-16)(Lk 9:1,12)(Jn 6:67-71).

The woman with the “issue of blood” had been bleeding for 12 years when she was healed by Jesus (Mt 9:20-22)(Mk 5:25-34)(Lk 8:43-48). The daughter of Jairus, whom Jesus brought back to life, was 12 (Mk 5:42).

Jesus was 12 years old when He became separated from His parents after the Passover (Lk 2:42-43). (This is also the first time that Jesus speaks in the Bible (Lk 2:49). After Jesus fed the 5000 men (and many more counting women and children) with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, there were 12 baskets of fragments left (Mt 14:20)(Mk 6:43)(Mk 8:19)(Lk 9:17)(Jn 6:13). Jesus said that in the regeneration, the 12 apostles would sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel (Mt 19:28).

When Jesus was being arrested, He said He could call for more than “12 legions of angels” if He needed help (Mt 26:53). Paul laid hands on “about 12 men,” and “the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied” (Acts 19:6-7).

The New Jerusalem will have a wall with 12 gates, and 12 angels at the gates, with names written on them which are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel (3 gates each on the north, south, east, west) (Rev 21:12). This wall will have 12 foundations, and on those will be the names of the 12 apostles (Rev 21:14). Each of the foundations will be adorned with 12 different precious stones (Rev 21:19-20). Each of the 12 gates will be constructed of one pearl (Rev 21:21).

There will also be a “tree of life,” which bears 12 fruits, one for each month (Rev 22:2).

The Bible is also filled with multiples of the number of 12. For example, when the Temple was built, its foundation was 60 cubits long (12 x 5) (2 Chr 3:3), the porch was 120 cubits high (12 x 10) (2 Chr 3:4), and the Holy Place was overlaid with 600 talents of fine gold (12 x 50) (2 Chr 3:8). When the Ark was brought into it, 120 priests were “sounding with trumpets” (12 x 10) (2 Chr 5:12). When dedicating it, Solomon offered a sacrifice of 120,000 sheep (12 x 10,000) (2 Chr 7:5).

There are so MANY more to explore and I enjoy doing it. Other important numbers of the Bible I will be exploring are: 6, 9. 13, 40, 24, and 444. There should be some surprising and intersesting discoveries.

People feel differently about things because they ARE AFRAID of getting out of God's will. Good fear to have. I am one of those people. But, what keeps me GROUNDED is the FACT everything God created he called it GOOD. All of the things man are calling bad, started off as NEEDED and WONDERFUL. Along the way, man CORRUPTED it, turning it BAD. I lay God on everything, not God onto ME. 

If in doubt, and you believe in COINCIDENCES, then why is God's TELEPHONE NUMBER Jeremiah 33:3. Jeremiah 33:3 is a famous biblical verse about PRAYER and seeking DIVINE REVELATION during difficult times. It is widely used as a reminder that God invites His people to seek Him in times of trouble.

• KJV: "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
• NIV: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." 

• The Context: God spoke this promise directly to the prophet Jeremiah while he was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, facing what seemed like an impossible situation. 
• The Revelation: "Great and unsearchable things" refers to God’s hidden plans, spiritual truths, and future restoration that are completely beyond human understanding or foresight. [1]
• Historical Context: Originally, this verse was spoken to assure Israel of God's plan to restore Jerusalem and the fortunes of Judah after their captivity. 
• Spiritual Application: Among Christian communities, it is widely viewed as a fundamental verse on prayer. The consensus among believers is that it serves as an enduring promise that God hears sincere prayers and reveals profound wisdom to those who seek Him
• The Call: God invites humanity to pray ("Call to me") and promises an active response ("I will answer you"). Try giving HIM a ring!

Why Study the Bible For Yourself?

This seems like a SIMPLE QUESTION. Why study the Bible for yourself? First of all, it was you who decided to accept, believe, and turn your life over to God. You CHOSE Him. He has left a guide or instructions for those choosing to follow Him how to live, the BIBLE. 

It is the CHRISTIAN'S guidebook that WE must know and ADHERE to. Some people have taken the COMMAND to spresd the GOSPEL as force NONCHRISTIANS to live by the Bible. The Gospels are for nonchristians, everything else is for followers of God and Jesus to grow in a personal RELATIONSHIP with God and that is ACHEIVED through STUDYING, LEARNING his nature and WORD so you can STAND the WICKEDNESS of EARTH as you save souls for the KINGDOM.

Another reason is that studying the Scripture shows you trying to UNDERSTAND God, His love for HUMANITY, HIS GRACE and MERCY for His creation and HOW you fit into His PLAN. Bible study is showing you CARE about the things God cares about. You are SUPPORTING God's will for man putting aside your OWN earthly agendas. It says, "I serve you God, your WILL and PURPOSE for mankind".

To ALLOW another HUMAN the total responsibility for you Christian walk is not CORRECT. It is your RESPONSIBILTY to serve God in the CAPACITY He wants and get those direction straight from the horses mouth. That's who you trust with your SOUL and not man because he falls PREY to sin. Sooner or later, you follow man, quicker than the understanding and wisdom of God. You loyalty and faith has switched through man. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (Donald Trump).

People who KNOW the nature of God, understands he communicate to Christians where their understanding. During your Christian journey, God grows you to a mature Christian which takes years of studying the Bible as it unfols to YOUR LEVEL of Christian maturity. Your GROWTH in God is DEPENDENT on Bible Study. God speaks to Christians through the Bible, prayer, and SIGNS.

In the Book of Genesis, "signs" (Hebrew: ’ôth) refer to divine tokens, wonders, or visible markers used by God to REVEAL His presence, CONFIRM His promises, or WARN humanity. Celestial Signs (Genesis 1:14): God established the sun, moon, and stars in the sky to act as visible signs to mark days, years, and sacred seasons. The Mark of Cain (Genesis 4:15): After Cain was banished for murdering Abel, God placed a protective "sign" or mark upon him. This served as an indicator to ensure no one would exact vengeance and kill Cain. The Rainbow (Genesis 9:12–17): God set the rainbow in the clouds as the visible sign of His covenant with Noah. It serves as an everlasting reminder of His promise to never again destroy the earth by a global flood. The Stars as a Promise (Genesis 15:5): God brought Abram outside at night and told him to count the stars. He used the vast, uncountable cosmos as a sign and visual guarantee that Abram's descendants would be equally as numerous.

The "feed my sheep" verses are found in John 21:15-17 , the disciple who God SHOWED the BOOK OF REVELATION to. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples and asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Each time Peter affirmed his love, Jesus commanded him to "Feed my lambs" and "Feed my sheep". Peter was the CORNERSTONE of the new CHURCH Jesus was proclaiming was at hand.

The Bible speaks and teaches on 3 LEVELS. To the babe in Christ, to those continuing their trust in faith in God, to the MATURE Christian in Christ. The second stage is where confusion, tradition, and agendas sneak in. This is where it is important to KNOW the NATURE of God, which never changes, but people can change their understanding of the WORDS of the Bible differently.

This is WHY there are so many DENOMINATIONS in the Protestant FAITH. God spoke a CERTAIN word at a certain time and then the church would claim to have the RIGHT understanding of God's word. God speaks individually to people and so does SATAN. Knowing the nature and WILL of God keeps down confusion and division among his body. 

Studying the Bible allows you clarity in what God HATES and cannot abide and the NATURE of MAN that he longs will change. He let's the studyer of the Bible sees and understand His LOVE for His creation and how He wants the BEST for them through all their evil and sinning. His love is ENDURING.

Lastly, studying the Bible helps you determine who else STANDS with God by their fruits. The "fruit of the Spirit" is a biblical concept from the New Testament book of Galatians (Galatians 5:22-23). It outlines nine visible attributes that the Holy Spirit naturally develops in the character and life of a follower of Jesus Christ: Love: Selfless, unconditional care and devotion for others. Joy: An abiding sense of gladness and inner peace not dependent on circumstances. Peace: A tranquil state of mind and harmony with God and others. Patience: The ability to endure difficult situations, delays, or the faults of others without anger. Kindness: A genuine, helpful, and compassionate disposition toward others. Goodness: Moral excellence, integrity, and doing what is right. Faithfulness: Loyalty, trustworthiness, and steadfastness in commitments. Gentleness: A humble, mild, and meek approach to dealing with people. Self-Control: The ability to govern one's desires, passions, and impulses.

 Also, Bible study dispells LIES. The SBC just said women should not hold positions of authority in the church. NOT BIBLICAL.DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Why Trumps "Truths" Always Win

Assaulting sinners is Spiritual warfare, RIGHTEOUS Godly anger. NOT BIBLICAL.

Taking over FORCING people to FOLLOW Christianity. NOT BIBLICAL;

Bullying is bringing the sword of God. NOT BIBLICAL.

Taking FINANCIAL and GOVERNMENT support from them because they are LAZY. NOT BIBLICAL.

Supporting increases of monetary WEALTH. NOT BIBLICAL. God hates the wealthy for their sins trusting MONEY as the ANSWER to everything and NOT God.DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Why Do Wealthy Men Sex Traffic? (Sean Combs)

Yet we are living in a TIME of GREED and NOT LOVE. Jesus TOLD Christians the WORLD would be like this. 2 Corinthians 12:9, which says: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33, ESV).DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: The Trumps Are Grifters.

Bible study helps to keep Christians FOCUSED on God's AGENDA, that all may be SAVED, Christians MUST demonstrate LOVE to the LEAST of these, EVEN enemies and those NOT deserving of love, the Kingdom is at hand as the Gospels say, LOVE God ABOVE everything and serve Him.DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: The Devil Gets The Credit 

One thing that has intimidating me and CAUSED me to follow along is the DEFINITION of the TRINITY, which I now am ready to address and blog on. My Bible study has finally given me the CONFIDENCE and COURAGE to SPEAK God's WORD not man's which has been taught under TRADITION and the threat of ABUSE REJECTION and OSTRIZADATION. Now is a TIME to stand for TRUTH regardless of the outcome.

Bible study is KEY to GROWING in God as an individual and communicating with Him Spirit to spirit. Spirit-to-spirit communication is a non-verbal CONNECTION that bypasses the physical senses to INTERACT directly with a higher self, divine, or spiritual realm. This exchange relies on intuition, thought-transference, and "knowing" rather than spoken language. The Spirit is God and the spirit is you. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: In The World of Donald Trump, Don't Be A Judas

Romans 8:16: "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." (This inner witness is often described as a deep, undeniable conviction). 1 Corinthians 2:13: "This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words". Romans 8:26: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." John 4:24: "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." 1 Corinthians 14:2: "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit." DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: CULTS and Trump

Christians who LOVE God, loves his word. For me, it's a LOVE LETTER: tender, caring, and deep. God ACHES with love for His creation. How can WE be ANYTHING but LOVING to ourselves? Falling in love WITH God, happens at true, ongoing, Bible study. Go ahead. FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD and realizing you are JUST having a DEAD-END affair WITH man.
