Welcome to our detailed exploration of the fascinating world of Bible Numerical Patterns. In this section, we delve into the specific meanings of numbers in the Bible and how they interconnect to form profound patterns that illuminate the timing of biblical prophecies.
Numbers in the Bible hold symbolic meanings that go beyond their numerical value. Each number is believed to carry spiritual significance, offering insights into God's divine plan and message for humanity. By understanding these meanings, we can unlock a deeper understanding of Scripture.
God is wonderful, and He reveals His plans and purposes in many different ways to many different people, but one universal constant is that He has chosen to reveal His intentions through numbers, such that even the standard meanings of each of the numbers 1 – 14 actually reveal the gospel. To demonstrate this, I will firstly list the standard meaning of the numbers, before I link them together into a sentence.
Sometimes, insights into God’s eternal plan can come from surprising places and that is the case in relation to what follows, which is essentially a short journey that the Lord took me on, in relation to His Promises; how they connect to the number 47; and how this points to an End-Time Clue.
Before I can expound on the significance of 19, I need to lay the groundwork for where its basic meaning comes from. As has been shown in my other articles, many numbers in the bible get their significance from the events described in Genesis in relation to the ‘Fall of Man’. While I have discussed some of this in detail elsewhere, it is worth repeating some of it here to provide some further details, as well as some context for the patterns that God has established in connection to the number 19.
The number 12 is interesting, for while it is recognized by many as representing 'perfect governance', given its relationship to:
Please Note that the following is in no way meant to imply that Jesus is absolutely coming back on a certain date, it is simply meant to show how many of the numbers revealed in Scripture allow for the possibilities of certain dates. At the end of the day, God is absolutely sovereign, and He cannot be put into a box and because the events of the 'last days' that include the Rapture, and the Second Coming, will be the final chance of Salvation for a 'Fallen Humanity', there is the also a very real possibility that He will delay.
Essentially, one must understand that 22 represents both the juxtaposition between Chaos / Judgement and Hope / Salvation, as well as the Completion / Finality of God’s Redemptive plan - It really is central to the End-Times.
While Prophecy can be both forth-telling and fore-telling, we are primarily just looking at the fore-telling aspect that looks at the Promises of God that are yet to be fulfilled. The bible is very explicit about what these promises are, so the question that always remains is not the “What”, but the “When”.
17 and 27 are special numbers connected with the End-Times and the Last things.
Before looking at the significance of the number 25 we at first need to look at two factors that comprise it - 17 and 8.
Our exploration extends to examining how numbers form patterns throughout the Bible. From the significance of the number 7 representing completion and perfection to the repeated occurrences of certain numbers in prophetic contexts, we uncover the intricate web of numerical symbolism in Scripture and determine what if any is their connection to the End-Times.
Zephaniah 2:1-3
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; 2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before -- the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before -- the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you. 3 Seek ye -- the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
Joel 2:1-2
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:15-16
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Isaiah 26:20-21
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
Psalm 27:5-6
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. 6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
God established a pattern of Sabbaths at Creation that were based upon 7, but given that initially mankind had not fallen when the 49th year had occurred, there was no need for a Jubilee or 50th year celebration because this day is about redeeming that which had been lost and nothing had been lost yet. So the patterns of 7 continued unabated for a total of 98 years (49 x2 or 14 Sabbath cycles of 7 years each) from creation. After this the bible supports that God allowed Satan into the Garden and Adam fell when he was 99 years old (see below for some points discussing this).
