The Book of Revelation (22 Chapters)

[Guest man]

You know, 1 Kings also has 22 chapters.

1 Kings 3

16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.

19 "During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son

[Iryssa]

Nothing in the book of revelations, or any other book of the bible is wrong ,flawed or incorrect.

There are ony 365 days in each of the years of our calendar, I'm curious as to why you didn't mention all the other things that happened on the 22 of November throughout history.

Exactly...my husband was born on the 22 of Nov. What's that supposed to mean, by this logic?

This is by far the silliest thread I have ever read!

However knight if you are interested in the math of the Bible the book 'God, the Master Mathematician' by Dr. Noah Hutchings is a sound and interesting commentary about this. I dont think your #22 "theory " is included.

[Ovedya]

There are 27 bones in the human hand.

There are 27 books in the New Testament (Which is why it's called "the handbook")

Two plus seven is nine. The only number that can be multiplied to produce the number nine is 3 (3x3=9).

There are three divine Persons in the Godhead.

The number three can be displayed on the hand using the middle finger, the ring finger, and the pinky finger. When these three fingers are raised the index and the thumb make a circle, which is the internationally known sign for "okay."

Coincidence?

[Rick-Parker]

The presidents that died on the 22nd.

Two died on the same day as large events that were mistakes.

The third one's name is and will always be tied to Watergate.

(A large event that was a mistake.)

--------------------------------

As for my distant connection to the number,

I could be the first person to figure out it's meaning.

Yep, you the man. However,

I pick C: none of the above.

For cryin out loud.

knight - a lot of good intentioned people try to use mathematics, or mysticism or anything else to try to figure out the deeper things of God, when in reality they don't even know the basic things of God.

The word is like a roadmap. There is a highway that runs right through the middle of the entire book, that will guide you to the Savior. Use that for your guideline and simply read it as it is. Stop trying to find a shortcut to the Great I AM. He clearly reveals Himself to any that sincerly seek Him.

And - friend to friend - you're standing at a very dangerous doorway to the occult. Best to back away.

Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2Ti 2:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 people have mentioned the occult with what knight said. how is the occult entered into this?

In the occult numerology is used heavily. While it is trut hat in the Bible certain numbers have tyological significance they don't go beyond that. In the occult numbers are used to predict the future, to determine how the gods speak to us, etc.

Superstition, luck, numerology, mysticism--all are occultic.

[kross]

It all comes together as if God is yelling "22"

If not the Book of Revelation with 22 chapters, then what does the 22 mean?

Why does it have to mean anything?

I wasn't written with 22 chapters, it was divided up that way when it was transcribed by the Roman Catholic Church.
