Bible Question:
PLEASE EXPLAIN THE BIBLICAL NUMBERS FROM 1-10? THE #7 MEANS COMPLETE. WHAT DOES THE # 5 MEAN BIBLICAL? |
Bible Answer: Rosalie: I will try to give you the basic meanings. This is a topic which can be expanded beyond this forum. One: speaks of unity, it is indivisible and different from all others. One is the source of all others Two: affirms difference or division Three: divine perfection Four: the number of creation. It was on the fourth day that the material earth was finished. Five: speaks of grace. The idea here is that redemption follows creation. Six: the number of man. Man was created on the sixth day. Seven: is the number of spiritual perfection and completeness. Eight: a new beginning or resurrection Nine: the number of judgement. Ten: is a perfect number which denotes the perfection of divine order. Eleven: disorder and imperfection. Twelve: a perfect number which denotes perfection of govenment. The book which I have listed below expands on each number significantly beginning with the Hebrew word for each number along with many examples of how the number is used. Robert.
