Bible Question: what does the number 5 mean in the bible. |
Bible Answer: Dear shree30, I couldn't answer any better than what is pasted below: "Whether or not the numbers really do have a significance is still debated in many circles. The Bible definitely seems to use numbers in patterns or to teach a spiritual truth. However, many people put too much significance on “Biblical numerology,” trying to find a special meaning behind every number in the Bible. Often a number in the Bible is simply a number. God does not call us to search for secret meanings, hidden messages, and codes in the Bible. There is more than enough truth in the words and meanings of Scripture to meet all our needs and make us “complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16)." http://www.gotquestions.org/Biblical-numerology.html Stand in His grace, WOS |
