I have been studying number symbolism in the Bible for more than 10 years now and have more than 50,000 notes associated with verses of the Bible and the symbolism contained in them. In these studies I've seen the patterns for hundreds of Bible numbers and this article speaks of the symbolism I see related to number 14. I realize it is well "known" that the Bible's chapter and verse numbers were added hundreds of years after the text was written and translated so it is virtually impossible that these numbers might have meaningful relationship to symbolism in the text. But numbers do not lie and patterns can be scientifically discerned and are use for many proofs in our world.
The Bible's numbering demonstrates incredible patterns of symbolism which, if true, tells us only God could have numbered the Bible. How? We can only imagine he somehow caused it to happen - but no matter what history tells us, the patterns are too prolific to be a product of chance. I believe that God has kept these number patterns hidden in these last days and likely may use them as compelling evidence everyone can see, that the Bible (KJV, NIV, NASB and similarly structured Bibles) is the actual Word of God preserved perfectly for us. The numbers not only provide symbolism to help us interpret the text, but also show God has preserved his Word just as he intended.
Number fourteen in the Bible is about Kings and very often about Jesus, our Lord, King & Redeemer...King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew chapter 1 is the first verse of the New Testament and declares to the Jews that Jesus is the promised messiah and mentions the number 14 three times in this single chapter. Passover is the 14th of the month and Jesus represents the Passover Lamb and Jesus is the Lord who passed over the Jews to save them while killing the first born of those not protected by the Blood of the Lamb. There's an abundance of evidence for the Bible's number 14 pointing to Jesus; chapter 14s show this theme as is demonstrated by Revelation 14 where Jesus returns and is found standing on Mount Zion -- You will also find this event written about in Zechariah chapter 14. Also check out Genesis 14, John 14 and other chapter 14s to see for yourself.
To show a consistent set of related examples demonstrating the symbolism of the Bible's (God's) number 14, I've listed 89 verse 14s of the Bible that point very strongly to Jesus the King and Redeemer or to other King type references. These examples should help you see the possibility of Bible number symbolism patterns in the Bible and the possibility of the symbolism of #14.
The Bible is perfect beyond our wildest comprehension. These examples are not intended to convince you of this miracle in scripture, but to point out the possibility so God/Jesus and The Holy Spirit can show you this for yourself.

Whenever you encounter a #14 reference in your Bible study, consider how that reference may be related to Jesus King and Redeemer. In many cases it will add great insight into your study because sometimes you may overlook the message that this was Jesus himself involved in an event or action. Notice the many examples above where verse #14 helps you understand it was actually Jesus Himself active in the passage I.E. In Exodus 3:14 it appears it was actually Jesus who was in the Burning Bush.
The Bible is perfect beyond our wildest comprehension. These examples are not intended to convince you of this miracle in scripture, but to point out the possibility so God/Jesus and The Holy Spirit can show you this for yourself.
