Do You Know the Numbers Part 2

Welcome back to part two of, "Do you know the numbers." To catch you up from part one, I taked about whether numbers in the Bible have significant meanings. I believe they do and I'm not alone. In part one I shared the significance of the number 3 and what it  has meant to me for decades. I also showed the powerful significance of the number twelve and how God used it as a particularly inportant number. Now, I would like to shave my thoughts on a few more numbers starting with the number SIX.

In the Bible, the number 6 is traditionally known as the "number of man." It symbolizes human weakness, labor, and imperfection, in direct contrast to the number 7, which signifies divine perfection and completion. 

Why It Represents Humanity Creation: Humanity was created on the 6th day of creation week (Genesis 1:26-31). Labor and Toil: God ordained that man is appointed to work for 6 days and rest on the 7th (Exodus 20:9-10). Fall from Grace: Because of the fall of Adam, the number 6 is associated with human limitation, sin, and separation from God's holiness.

Key Symbolism and Associations: Number of the Beast (666): In Revelation 13:18, 666 is the infamous "number of the beast," representing the pinnacle of human systems, rebellion, and imperfection falling short of divine status. Human Strength vs. Divine Power: The number often highlights the failure of human effort. For instance, Goliath's height was six cubits and his spear weighed 600 shekels, symbolizing worldly strength opposing God (1 Samuel 17:4-7). Missing the Mark: Since 7 represents spiritual perfection (like the 7 days of the week or 7 feasts), the number 6 represents falling just short of that divine standard.  biblica meaning of the number six - Google Search.

There are three (number of manisfestation) reasons the number was used. The first is the fact that in the Scriptures, the number of MAN is 6 because man was created on the 6th day. In contrast, the number of God is 7 because it represents completion and perfection., since on the seventh day of creation, God rested from His work which He declared to be good or perfect. 

Now, in the Hebrew language, which the Old Testament of the Bible is written in, superlatives are expressed by repeating the word or phrase., the ultimate being its repetition THREE times (My number). Thus, when Isiah saw the Lord lifted up and exalted in the Temple, he heard Seraphim singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb of hosts" (Isiah 6:1-3). therefore the number 6 represents the number of Man carried to its zenith.

The second reason the number 666 is used is because of ots symbolism in Jewish thinking. The Bible tells us that in the year which King Solomon received 666 talents of gold, he TURNED his back on God and became obsessed with women, horses, and money (1 Kings 10;14 and 2 Chronicles 9:13. Thus, the Jewish history, the number 666 came to stand for APOSTACY.

The third reason the number is used is related to the fact that in both Hebrew and Greek (New Testament original translation), the letters of the ALPHABET also stand for numbers. This makes it possible to add up numerical value for every name. The Antichrist's name will add up to 666 in either greek or Hebrew (or perhaps both) and will be an expression of the ultimate APOSTACY - presenting one self as a substitute for the REAL Messiah.

Some of Trump's actions in ISRAEL are raising eyebrows, especially when it LINES up with End Time prophecy, found in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Such as the Abomination of Desolation, when someone OUTSIDE of Israel setting up what is refered to The Abomination of Desolation. The "Abomination of Desolation", is a prominent biblical phrase. This is viewed by many as an end-times prophecy where the Antichrist will commit ultimate blasphemy by demanding to be worshiped as God within a rebuilt Jerusalem temple. 

It originates in the Book of Daniel (e.g., Daniel 9:27, 11:31) and is directly referenced by Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14) as a major, visible sign of impending tribulation or judgment.  

The United States already operates an embassy in Jerusalem, which originally opened in 2018 under the Trump administration. Furthering this initiative, the Israeli government officially approved a plan to allocate a 7.7-acre plot in the Talpiot neighborhood for the construction of a permanent, purpose-built U.S. Embassy compound. 

Numbers aren't that innocent and have long been speculated to have CODES or MYSTERIES for those wise enough to find them. The Bible does NOT contain secret, occult messages, or hidden future prediction. However, biblical authors frequently used symbolic numbers to convey spiritual truths and theological meaning. This is known as biblical numerology, which uses specific numbers to represent concepts like completeness, divine perfection, or testing. 

Common Symbolic Numbers

Instead of being a secret code, the numbers act as symbols that would have been clearly understood by ancient Hebrew and Greek audiences.

1 (One) – Unity and Primacy: Represents the oneness of God (Deuteronomy 6:4) and the singularity of His sovereignty. It also points to unity among believers.

2 (Two) – Witness and Duality: Symbolizes the testimony of two witnesses (Deuteronomy 19:15) and duality (e.g., Old and New Testaments, divine and human natures of Christ).

3 (Three) – Completeness and Divine Perfection: Associated with the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and events like Jesus’ resurrection on the third day or Peter’s threefold denial and restoration.

4 (Four) – Creation and Universality: Represents the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:12) and the four living creatures in Revelation, symbolizing the totality of creation.

5 (Five) – Grace and Provision: Linked to God’s goodness (e.g., the five loaves fed the 5,000) and the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible.

6 (Six) – Human Imperfection: Created on the sixth day (Genesis 1:26-31), it often signifies human limitation, as in the number 666 (Revelation 13:18).

7 (Seven) – Completion and Perfection: The number of God’s work (creation week, Sabbath) and appears repeatedly in Revelation as a sign of fullness and divine orchestration.

8 (Eight) – New Beginnings: Follows seven, marking a new order (e.g., circumcision on the eighth day).

12 (Twelve) – Divine Governance: Represents God’s people (twelve tribes, twelve apostles) and authority in the covenant community.

40 (Forty) – Testing and Preparation: Symbolizes a period of trial or preparation (e.g., Israelites’ 40 years in the wilderness, Jesus’ 40 days fasting).

70 (Seventy) – Universality: Denotes completeness and the totality of the world’s peoples (Genesis 10:32).

10 (Ten) – Completeness and Order: The Ten Commandments and the parable of the ten virgins illustrate moral order and readiness. Why Numbers Were Used Symbolically? Biblical authors embedded numbers into narratives, laws, and prophetic visions to: convey theological truths (e.g., God's unity, perfection, and sovereignty). Created patterns that reinforce themes and doctrines, Provide prophetic or apocaliptic message to convey spritual truths and theological meaning. This IS known as biblical numerology, which uses specific numbers to represent CONCEPTS like completeness, divine protection, or testing. Convey theological truths, perfection, and sovereignty). 

Using this system from antiquity, Donald John Trump adds numerololgy to 424. I often remind readers that God CREATED everything and said it was good. Man corrupted many GOOD things, turning them into bad or forbidden things. Now NUMBERS are seen as BAD, OCCULT, WITCH CRAFT. In secular numerology, the number 6 is the archetype of harmony, balance, responsibility, and unconditional love. Stripped of religious dogma, it represents the emotional, nurturing, and domestic aspects of the human experience. It is the cosmic caregiver, focusing on service, family, and community. We are not the same.

 But, NUMEROLOGY has far more believers and followers of what numbers SYMBOLICALLY mean. Bible scholars study numbers in the Bible to see correlations in meaning that can been seen as a repeated certain occurence of such meaning.
