I have recently seen a comment that biblical numbers have no special significance, purpose, or meaning in scripture. I do not recall any recent threads talking about biblical numbering and associations? What do all you good folks think about biblical numbers?

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

If the smallest of Hebrew marks shall not pass, what about numbers given in scripture? Ignore them?

If numbers are an insignificant part of our Bible, why were the inspired authors detailing and furnishing all those numbers? Why would the Lord see fit to emphasize Bible numbers in scripture? Numbering the genealogies, the dimensions of Noah’s Ark, Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle, Temple, longevity, on the Third Day, seven seals, vials, and trumpets, on and on. Why such precise, detailed numbering and dimensions for the preceding?

Biblical theologians have assigned meanings behind Bible numbers in most cases, as listed below.

What do you think, are some, most, or all biblical numbering random and not inspired? Is there a purpose or reason? Can we gain something from paying attention to biblical numbers?

What about taking the first ten generations from Adam to Noah, writing down their Hebrew name meanings, and making an English sentence? Amazing!

If the context repeatedly associates something to a particular number it becomes significant. Lists vary as to the exact significance but it is obvious in Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, that there is a Divine Template that consists of numerical amounts and their multiples.

Things like counting to 9 before the numbers repeat, and 9 months being the developmental term of a human baby, and the fruit of the Spirit ripening as 9 virtues, and a right angle being 90 degrees, and 9 lepers out of 10 being slow to glorify their Healer, and the 99 sheep out of 100 not going astray being less rejoiced over than the 1 lost sheep that is found, all may have some common element to ponder, but not to an absurd extreme.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
