1 | meaning of numbers in the bible | NT general Archive 1 | casiv | 21266 | ||
Hello Searcher, Thanks for your question. I appreciate your zeal in the pursuit of scriptural documentation. Please see Dan 3:1 for the proof you are asking for. Dan 3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Kindly see that threescore and six equals 66 and this verse confirms that 66 is idol worship which is what Nebuchadnezzar made every one bow down and do. Regarding your other question, please find that the number two is associated with Separation and Division (Gen 1:6-8) though afterwards it is associated with union in testimony (Deut. 17:6 and Rev 11:3) I hope these help with your understanding of the importance of numbers in scripture. Thanks for your questions. Peace, Casiv PS- Ed is going to get answer soon. Thanks for your concern. I do understand that when new people come to this site they need to see Love which is not apparent in the world very much anymore. Thanks. I learned the numbers in scripture from E.W Bullinger, are you familiar with who that is? He is and was a very intelligent Man of God. Peace. |

Greetings Casiv! This is an example of why people have so little patience with your use of numbers. The simply fact is that Scripture doesn't say what you say! The meanings of numbers are totally made up. For instance, take the number 66. It occurs first in the Bible in Gen. 46:26 (as Steve pointed out in another post). There is refers to the direct descendants of Jacob. So, why can't we say that 66 stands for Family. In fact, in one of your other posts, I seem to recall that you said the first occurances are the most important. Then, (as Steve also pointed out in his other post), the number 66 is used in Lev. 12:5 to refer to the period of purification for a woman. So, why can't 66 stand for Purification. This is why the use of spiritual meanings to numbers is a sham. It is totally subjective and Scripture itself never assigns any meaning to any number other than Rev. 13:18. When you can show me a verse that says, "66 stands for idol worship", then I will believe you. Until then, Dan. 3:1 simply means that the statue was 90 feet tall and 9 feet wide!
