God's day to you, prayon, Doc is right - cite your source. Well let us see about you number theory. It is dangerous to say a number means something. All I need to do is to point out it is not consistent, once. 1-unity ... While uni means one ... tough to have unity with one ... need two. While we need to have the same mind, one doesn't always mean unity “Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other”, Zillah. (Gen 4:19) . 2 is Fellowship; union with Christ; ... "union" in 2 seems to contradict 1 - unity. Also, same verse above ... with two wives I doubt there was fellowship. Then there are the two theives (Luk 23:32,39-43) and witnesses (Rev 11:6). 3 is the Trinty ... While tri means three, tow or three witenesses were needed in a death sentence judgment (Deu 17:6). Also ..."And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist * him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart" (Ecc 4:12). 4 is the earth(4 winds, 4 corners of the earth) ... There were also 4 rivers out of Eden (Ge 2:10), 4 rings/ corners (tabernacle) (Exo 25:26). 5 is grace … There were 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins (Mat 25:2). 6 is man; human weakness … It is the number of days we should work, as the Lord completed His work (Exo 16:26, Ex 20:11) … Also, “Six branches shall go out from its sides” (Ex 25:32). 7 is perfection or completion … Actually God completed creation in 6 days, as already cited. God told Noah it was going to rain in 7 days (Gen 7:4) … and the number of days Noah waited between birds (Gen 8:10, 12) 8 is new beginning … “And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised” (Gen 17:12) and “There shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver” (Exo 26:25). 9 is Spirit … While there are 9 parts of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23), “nine cities” is seen trice (Jos 15:44, 54, 21:16) and the number of lepers who didn’t return (Luk 11:11-19). Plus, there are gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12) .. is that number 9? . 10 is Responsibility on earth … Is the final number Abraham asked the Lord (Gen 18:32) and the number of camels his servant took to find a wife for his son (Gen 24:10). The tenth day was the day they selected the lamb (Exo 12:3) 11 is Human failure; confusion; judgement .. It is the number Joseph saw in his dreams (Gen 37:9), number of curtains (Exo 26:7) … plus the number of disciples after the resurrection (Lu 24:9). On the last I doubt any of list fits. 12 is number of earthly government (12 apostles; 12 tribes) … The woman had an issue of blood twelve years (Mat 9:20) … twelve wells of water (Exo 15:27). 40 is testing; probation … Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah,( Gen 25:20) and Esau was forty years old he married Judith (Gen 26:34) … forty sockets of silver (Exo 26:19). 50 is year of jubilee … Abraham started with fifty in asking the Lord to spare Sodom (Gen 18:24) and the width in cubit of the ark (Gen 6:15). Notice that I cited the first books of the OT or NT ... I think there is more. Searcher |
