Jesus Christ - wearing a robe dipped in blood -- Purity/Righteousness and the Bible 333rd Book Verses

The Bible's twenty-nine 333rd book verses...

Even though we don't see them printed in our Bibles, just like all verses in each chapter are numbered, every verse in each book has a related sequential number associated with it. For example, the book of Hebrews has 303 verses which have the numbers 1 to 303 associated with them. Since every number has some relationship to the text it is associated with, we can use these "Book Verse Numbers" to help us validate and interpret God's Word.

In addition to the Book Verse Numbers helping us understand verse text, it is very enlightening to compare like numbered book verses across the Bible. That is, in the example below, we can compare the 333rd book verses found throughout the Bible to help us comprehend the symbolism we associate with a number and which is found in those verses. Book verse numbers are one of the first places I go when I want to understand the symbolism for any number.

Three, Thirty-Three and Three-Thirty-Three (3,33,333) symbolically often relate to righteousness and purity. I don't want to oversimplify the symbolism of any number, but a general way to look at number 333 is to consider that it is associated with being pure (or being made pure) or  righteous. On the positive side this number reveals the good side of righteousness and on the negative side it often reflects some aspect of unrighteousness.

SIDEBAR - Hebrews and number 33 -- Interesting that the book of Hebrews has 303 verses which associates the book with number 33. Like number 333, this number is symbolic of purity/righteousness and being set apart. (every Bible number has a meaning, even the count of verses in books and chapters). To help demonstrate this symbolism, the book of Hebrews is reminding believers to accept the better way offered through Jesus Christ and not to return to the old Jewish ways of being acceptable to God. That is - to be set apart from the old ways and to remain pure. Further evidence of number 3 and 33 being related to this symbolism is seen in Hebrews 3:3 "For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house". I also don't think it is coincidence that the verse immediately following (3:3) is 3:4 and happens to be the 30,000th verse of the Bible in the 1136th Bible chapter and happens to be the 36th verse of the book of Hebrews. Heb 3:4 "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God". (see another post for information about the Bible's 31 transitional 1000th verses).

To understand the related symbolism of the Bible 333rd book verses, I've included them below and arranged them with the more obvious examples related to purity/righteousness/being set apart at the top of the list.

Note that Book verse numbers are simply one of many numbers associated with any Bible verse, so don't assume all the verses will have the same message. Instead, consider that verses associated with number 333 will likely contain some aspect of the symbolism of that number.

Consider the following 333rd book verses and how they consistently show some aspect of being separated, set apart or of righteousness/unrighteousness. Of course, my definition of the symbolism for number 333 may be incorrect, but the important point is that Book Verse Numbers help us comprehend a message that can be found in other verses having the same number. Lastly, as with any study of scripture, the symbolism may not be apparent to you in some of the examples so don't expect every verse text to line up nicely with the pattern. I suspect if we look deep enough, the number 333 has a God defined symbolism and the verse text associated with this number all contain it. I call this perfection, the DNA like perfection of the Bible's Numbering.
