2Peter 3 - 1159th chapter, almost "midnight" - Jesus at the Door "midnight" - 11:59PM

2Peter 3 - 1159th chapter, almost "midnight" - Jesus at the Door "midnight" - 11:59PM

Be sure to read below about the number 1159 (11:59 PM) and midnight

Examine the following 13 verses that contain the word "midnight" a total of 14 times in the KJV. Note how they all have some relationship or meaning with being delivered or the Lord Jesus coming. Also consider the number 14 is a number of Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of lords - relating to the 14 times "midnight" is found in the Holy Bible.

#24 -- The Twenty chapter Twenty-Fours of the Bible Point to the Future Day of the LORD

 

The number twenty-four in the Holy Bible is clearly associated with the promised coming of Jesus Christ to resurrect the dead and judge the just and the unjust. One of the most compelling evidences of this association is the miracle of the 24,000th verse of the Holy Bible Matthew 24:42 which states "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.". This is the 42nd verse (#24 in reverse) of the 24th chapter of Matthew referred to as the "Olivet Discourse" -  The conversation that Jesus had with His disciples on top of the Mount of Olives.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do1tVBiPoYs

To sum up the associations of this verse with the number twenty-four:

  1. It is the 24,000th verse of the Holy Bible (ESV, NIV, NASB, KJV...)
  2. It is in the 24th chapter
  3. The chapter is about the coming "Day of the LORD" (24 hours)
  4. The verse is about the coming "Day of the LORD"
  5. It is the 42nd verse - the numbers 2 and 4 reversed (Gematria)
  6. It refers to this future day/hour (appointed time) ("...you know not what HOUR...")

As I have documented in many other articles, all numbers in the Holy Bible have consistent associations related to the number. Either to the number directly, some associations to the number (IE day and 24 hours), events associated with the number or labels/names associated with numbers, occurrence numbers in lists, etc.

One great way to see the consistency of numbers in scripture is to watch the Bible's chapter numbers. For example, I've included a list of every chapter 24 in the Holy Bible with a list of brief descriptions I have prepared to provide a hint at what the chapter is about. Virtually every chapter has some association or likeness to the future coming of the LORD Jesus Christ.

I hope after examining this list you might begin to conceive that God just might have divinely numbered our Bible. That's not as far-fetched an idea as you might guess as most believers already accept that God inspired and constructed the exact words in our Bible's text that was written over a period of 2000 years by 20 or so authors. Whose to say he did not pre-number the Bible's verses at the same time - keeping them hidden until he revealed them later to other men.

  • Gen 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Isaac comes for his bride. Abraham seeks wife for Isaac. God provides Rebecca.
  • Exo 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - The glory of the LORD appeared on mount Sinai-Moses called up before the LORD.
  • Lev 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Judgment, All who cursed the LORD were taken out of the camp and stoned.
  • Num 24 - #24 Balaam sees the Almighty and hears God—and says, a star will come and smite the wicked.
  • Deu 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Servants to be paid his wages at the appointed time(end of day) wives/divorce
  • Josh 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Choose this day whom you will serve;… but as for me…we will serve the LORD.
  • 1Sam 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - The LORD gives Saul into David's hands. David cut Saul's robe.
  • 2Sam 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - David sins and numbers people of Israel; As consequence, plague kills 70,000 men
  • 2Kin 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Nebuchadnezzar captures Jerusalem taking everything to Babylon.
  • 1Chr 24 - #24 Service to the LORD - David gives '24' divisions of priests and Levites for the temple service.
  • 2Chr 24 - #24 God said “Why do you sin against God, since you have forsaken God, he has now forsaken you”
  • Job 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - The wicked deny the Lord coming. They resist the Lord but later are removed.
  • Psa 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Who shall go up to heaven with The King of Glory?
  • Prov 24 - #24 Day of Judgment - Don't envy the wicked. In time, the candle of the wicked will be put out.
  • Isa 24 - #24 Day of the LORD – Apocalypse, it shall come to pass, that day the LORD shall reign in mount Zion
  • Jer 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - They shall be my people, and I will be their God--The good and bad figs
  • Eze 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Ezekiel in Babylon prophesying the Jerusalem siege has started that very day.
  • Matt 24 - #24 The Day (24 hours) of the LORD - Be alert, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come.
  • Luke 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - The empty tomb, Jesus had risen, reveals himself to the eleven.
  • Acts 24 - #24 Day of the LORD - Paul jailed for teaching a future resurrection/judgment of the just and unjust

 Watch the Bible's chapter numbers for amazing clues to what the content of chapters are about. You might start with chapter sixes which deal with the consequences of our sin and our need to turn from sin. Genesis chapter six is a good start.

#25 Jesus with us on earth as pointed out by the Bible's Divine Numbering

The Perfection of The Holy Bible's Numbering

There are 31,102 verses in the Holy Bible and if you number each verse from 1 to 31,102 these numbers can point you to amazing evidences God himself divinely numbered the Bible. Of course, we"know" this is humanly impossible, but at the same time know "nothing is impossible with God.

Mark 10:27 Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

Number Twenty-Five

The Number Twenty-Five -- We can learn what numbers mean (or symbolize) by watching what text they are associated with in scripture. The number 25 seems to be associated with someone coming into the presence of an authority. More specifically, we find solidly #25 influenced verses point to people coming before the physical presence of Jesus Christ. (By 'solidly #25 influenced' I refer to verses that strongly identify with '25' in their numbering). One of the best examples of a strong twenty-five verse is the 25,000th verse of the Bible. Below I have included it as well as the verse that follows:

BibleVerse 25000 - Luke 2:26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. v27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law,

In this passage of scripture, we find Simeon who had been told by the Lord he would not die until he had seen the promised messiah. In this 25,000th verse statement we see Simeon's promise coming to pass as Jesus is brought to the temple for presentation, purification and circumcision. Clearly, this is evidence for the number twenty-five being related to Jesus being publicly presented to the world.

Taken by itself, this evidence for the meaning of number twenty-five is not strong enough for anyone to stand on, but it is a good starting place to investigate its meaning.

If you would examine all verse twenty-fives in the Bible you would find (to a lesser strength) how the meaning of a presence of one before authority likely fits. Some of the strongest evidences for this verse twenty-five meaning can be seen in the following passages:

Num 6:25 The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
Dan 9:25 "So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
Dan 3:25 He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"
Luke 2:25 And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
Rom 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith...  committed;

The Strongest Evidences - double association with the number twenty-five.

One of my most preferred ways to investigate the meaning of a number is to look at scriptures that are at least twice associated with the number. One of the best ways to do this is to look for verses where cross-bible verse numbers begin and end with the number.

You can see this evidence for yourself in a list of doubly twenty-five identified verses. Below is a complete list of every cross-bible verse number starting and ending with the number twenty-five. This method of searching number meanings eliminates the possibility of the results of the search being contrived in any way. The precision of numbers points us to a precise set of results. Note how we see the Lord's physical presence on earth before men in every instance.
 

BV(2525) Exodus 34:28 So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

BV(25025) Luke 2:51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

BV(25125) Luke 5:17 One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

BV(25225) Luke 7:29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

BV(25325) Luke 9:23 And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

BV(25425) Luke 11:19 "And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.

BV(25525) Luke 13:6 And He began telling this parable: "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

BV(25625) Luke 16:4 'I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.'

BV(25725) Luke 18:36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.

BV(25825) Luke 20:45 And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

BV(25925) Luke 22:60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Conclusion

Hopefully I have demonstrated how we can search out the meaning of numbers in scripture as well as showing the consistency in the patterns of meaning for the number twenty-five. More importantly, by observing these perfect patterns and scripture/numbering associations you will have observed incredible evidence the LORD God himself could have been the only one who could have created this DNA-like perfection in the Word of God.

23 Secretly Hidden 666 verses in the Holy Bible. Number codes reveal mysteries hidden below the surface of the text.



The mystery of the meaning of the number six-hundred and sixty-six quoted in Revelation 13:18 remains a debated topic because the number 666 is only mentioned in this single Bible verse. But is it? A recent discovery uncovers number 666 hidden throughout the Bible within the text. This post presents twenty-three verses clearly associated with number 666 revealing new facts about about what this number means.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666). 
In a previous post noted above, I explained how cross Bible verse sequence numbers (1 to 31,102) have meaning. These numbers are not seen in the Bible’s we have today but can be determined by numbering every verse in scripture from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 (Using the KJV or other like numbered Bible versions).  Following are a couple of examples to help show the concept of cross-Bible verse numbers.

Impossible? Keep reading so as not to miss the miracle of this seemingly impossible claim that cross-Bible verse sequence numbers tie directly to the text


Job 5:8-9  “As for me, I would seek God...who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number: 


  • ·         The 16,666th verse of the Bible is Proverbs 10:9 … he that perverts his ways shall be known.
  • ·         The 17,666th verse of the Bible is Isaiah 1:11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.”
  • ·         The 29,666th verse of the Bible is 2 Thessalonians 2:4 “…Who opposes and exalts himself above all… so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”.
  • ·         (These and 20 more examples presented below)
Another evidence supporting the theme of great sin for number 666 can be found in the 666th Bible chapter of Ecclesiastes chapter 20 which speaks of wickedness on earth. -- Ecc 7:20 “For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and does not sin”. 
This article will demonstrate strong evidence for the intentional cross-Bible numbering pattern found in the Bible and that the numbering is directly related to the text it is associated with. This goes for every different number, not just 666. The 666 related evidence is simply one example of how perfect the Bible’s numbering is.  It is an amazing experience to see these numbers for yourself as they cause us to realize that every verse in the Bible must be present in its exact location for this pattern to exist. This pattern is one of thousands of number evidences that point to an inerrant divinely created Bible.

This pattern could not be contrived as it validates itself to be consistent. The 666 verses are exactly 1000 verses apart and the text they are associated with cannot be moved. For the pattern to be correct one must observe a preponderance of evidence each 666 verse lands on a verse strongly related to sin. The examples shown clearly demonstrate this preponderance of evidence. 

Take particular note how the evidence points to extreme examples of sin such as the 29,666th Bible verse -- 2Thelessions  2:4 where the anti-Christ takes the throne pointing himself to be God. –Who opposes and exalts himself above all… so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”. This is not a casual verse that happens to be about sin, instead, it may be the strongest verse in the Bible about evil! The other evidences are similarly compelling. BTW, This pattern only exists perfectly in the KJV and like numbered translations.

Compare to the nn888th cross-Bible verse numbers

In the previous post mentioned above, I showed the Bible’s cross number verses ending with nn,888 explaining the number 888 pointed to Jesus whose name can be expressed with the gematria number 888. To demonstrate these 888 related evidences are not just happenstance, I’m writing this article showing this numbering pattern is also seen in more numbers than 888. This example of 666 demonstrates the God-given theme for 666 as revealing the numbering pattern. Many believe the number 666 is only explicitly mentioned in scripture related to the beast in Revelation chapter 13. Once you become familiar with the Bible’s numbering you will find references to 666 are scattered all throughout the Bible in many ways. Here’s one you’ve probably overlooked many times: Isa 66:6A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompence to his enemies.” 

The Value of this and Similar Number Patterns

Below are presented a list of the Bible’s nn666 verses. Upon examining them you will likely observe how these verses all point to some aspect of; sin, forgiveness, punishment or learning not to sin. I have included twenty-three of the thirty-one verses having a cross-bible verse number ending in 666. As you look at them you might find yourself asking; OK, this is interesting, but how is this information useful to me, an average student of the Bible? If God did this, it must have a purpose. To help answer this question, here are a few reasons God’s number patterns are a great gold mine of value to those who love to study God’s Word:

·         GOD’S HIGHLIGHTING: They help us not to overlook the seriousness of the message in the verses about sin. This kind of numerical flag highlighting the verse can cause us to slow down and consider what God is communicating. It’s like God has yellow highlighted these 666 verses for us.
·         INERRANT SCRIPTURE: The pattern helps us totally trust the scriptures as only God could have left this impossible pattern for us to discover in these latter days. This perfection in numbering of the Bible should eliminate any doubt we might have about the Bible being complete or being a product of human hands that might have not recorded history correctly.
·         DEEPER INTERPRETATION: The numbers help us understand and interpret scripture more deeply. A possible example of this is found in Judges 6:11, the 6,666th verse of the Bible which says, Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites”. Without seeing the relationship to the number 666 and sin, we might miss the significance of the process of the threshing wheat which separates the wheat from the chaff. This directly compares to how God works to separate us from sin through what is sometimes a difficult and painful process. It also points out the significance of the events that take place in the threshing floor in other parts of scripture.
·         CONCORDANCE: These perfect number patterns provide a type of a concordance or index to verses about sin (or other topics depending on the number). If you want to study what God says about sin, you can review the nn,666th verses of the Bible. 
(NOTE: I will shortly be releasing an Android/iPhone app that will teach about these number patterns and allow you to look them up for yourself).
·         NUMBER THEMES: The pattern provides compelling evidence for understanding God’s theme for number 6 and number 666. The themes for God’s number meanings are determined by recognizing number patterns such as this one and then analyzing them to identify the common textual theme among them. The theme of sin for number six is found throughout the Bible in many ways. For example, Genesis chapter six is the chapter where God makes the decision to cleanse the earth and makes this statement which just happens to be in verse six!  Gen 6:6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”. See other chapter sixes and especially, 6:6 verses to see how six is a number for sin including, consequences and repentance.

The List of 666 verses

Finally, see in the list below the amazingly strong association of the cross-Bible verse numbers ending with the number 666 and sin. See my other blog post regarding the number 888 to help confirm these associations are not a product of happenstance or coincidence. Only an unimaginable God could have created this pattern in His Word.

Conclusion

I hope you were able to observe the pattern. Do not be worried if you cannot quite take in this evidence. I began seeing these patterns more than 20 years ago and needed thousands of evidences and more than two years of study to finally be 100% convinced they are real. If this article stirs your interest in investigating the patterns more, it has done its job.
