I often write about how Biblical number patterns help us to understand the scriptures (see other blog posts) and this article again helps us to see the scripture's perfection and consistency in numbering as well as helping us understand the meaning in the related text. This article focuses on The Day of the LORD which is the Bible's way of warning us of Jesus promise to one day return to judge. This day is associated with #24 in the Bible and we will see this number also relating to the verses with chapter and verse of 1:14. Evidence of the symbolism of twenty-four can be seen in Matthew "24:42" which is the 24,000th Bible verse (KJV, NIV, NASB..) that warns us to keep watch for the "Day of the LORD". The chapter and verse reference as well as the reference to this specific day in the text provides pretty compelling evidence of God's intended symbolism of number 24 to this day of Judgment...
Matt 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. (24,000th Bible verse)
The pattern of #14, #24 and chapter and verse reference 1:14
Biblical number patterns show every chapter and verse number has meaning and also that the combination of them also has related meaning and the text of every verse helps demonstrate that related symbolism. Bible numerics show that #14 is related to Jesus, King and Redeemer (for example, Rev 14:14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand). A combined chapter and verse of 1:14 appears to also represent the symbolism of #24 (1+1 and 4). Even if you are doubtful regarding the chapter and verse number meaning, you can also see the perfection in Bible numbering by considering the consistency of symbolism with the Bible's chapter #1 verse #14 verses.
When looked at as a set, the Bible's 1:14 verses give us an understanding of things that will happen on the coming Day of the Lord (see 1:14 of Zep, Oba, Amo, 2The, 2Cor for Day of the Lord references). As I look at them I see; The Day of the Lord foretold; a picture of the day itself; and how Jesus comes to live on earth as these events unfold. Examine the pattern of 1:14 verses yourself to draw your own conclusion. If you take the time to look them up, every chapter and verse combination in the Bible has a thread of common theme running through them and knowing them is a great help to Biblical interpretation.
