Over the ten+ years I've been writing about the Bible's numbers I've come to accept they are so seemingly impossible that people either don't accept them at all, or are so unsure of them, they have no comment regarding them. Additionally, we all know, when you speak of such forbidden subjects such as "numbers in the Bible", many judge you as dabbling in evil or wickedness. Satan has done his work by keeping us afraid of numbers in scripture - even though numbers are made of God and it is commonly known they are used by him to communicate extra interpretative meaning in the Bible.
In more than ten years I have had no more than a handful of questions about what I write and that's discouraging - but my guess is that this is no surprise to God, and is likely even part of his plan. God will reveal his hidden biblical numbers when he is ready - I can't speed up or slow down God's timing, so I just keep telling others what I see and wait to see what the Lord Jesus does with them.
Your input is still desired - I'm no biblical scholar and am sure many of the assumptions I write about numbers and the Bible are off the mark - hopefully in the ballpark. I do look forward to meaningful discussion, comment, and even friendly debate about what I write. The Bible says "Iron sharpens iron" and I know I can use some sharpening.

ReplyDeleteThanks Dennis for your comment. You obviously know how much work it is to maintain a website.
ReplyDeleteAtheist Crusader...I guess you saw, I didn't delete any messages/comments. I believe most atheist's believe what they do for a valid reason - I hope God's Numbers and Patterns give you reasons to reconsider the Mystery that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and Savior of the World who we must understand, died for our sins. There's great evidence here for the doubting, but it is only Jesus himself that will show you who he is - Humbly seek Him and the Bible says, he will let you find him. 1Chr 28:9, Prov 8:17 and other places say this.
ReplyDeleteNorm Patriquin, I have read the bible. It has only made me more of an atheist.
