Subject: Number 216 |
Bible Note: Thank you again Hank, this time for your kind words of welcome. I am a little older than you having been born in December 1931. Oh! and by the way I must be half American, as my father was born in the States. I was not aware of the possible connection between our National Poet,and Psalm 46, thank's for that, it's most interesting. Allow me to share with you somthing about the No 7 which I understand indicates Divine perfection, and completion. A number of years ago I found myself wondering if Biblical numbers could also be found in other translations, for example English. To this end I looked at the very first verse in the Bible namely Gen Ch 1 v 1, and decided to try 'created' as it has 7 leters, (in Hebrew only 4 letters). God said 'I am the first and the last', Hebrew does not have a seperate set of shapes for numbers as we do in English, but ascribes to each letter a number, A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, and so on, now just suppose that we had the same, then the first and the last letters of 'created' would have a value of 3 and 4 which when added together make 7. Now suppose we give neumeric values to all the letters, and add them up, then the total is 308, a number that can be divided exactly by 7 whith none left over. Note, After the 10th letter J, the next K is 20, L is 30, M is 40, and so on up to 100, and then the next is 200 etc, etc. How about that then 3 lots of severn's, and what does 3 indicate but Trinity More later, the Lord bless you,and yours. ebrain. |
