Evidence of the consistency of symbolism related to God’s
numbers is found throughout the scriptures; in the text; in chapter numbers; in
verse numbers; and in the DNA like perfection of the cross Bible verse and chapter
numbering. Watch for these themes whenever you see forms of the number 53 in
your Bible reading. As you personally observe the preponderance of the evidence for the symbolism for #53, you will come to become more and more convinced of the unspeakable miracle of the supernatural construction of the Bible.
Patterns in God’s numbers. Number 53 and similar numbers
(153, 353…) point to; resurrection; being lifted up; being taken to live with
God; God’s house; the inheritance of being lifted up (saved); resurrected and
other related meanings. On the negative side, #53 can also point to the
opposite of being lifted up/resurrected and be related to being cast down;
death; the taking of life.
Fifty-three in scripture text...
A couple of well known scriptural examples related to number 53 are:
- Salvation -- Psalm 53 which is also the Bible’s 531st chapter - Psa 53:6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion.
- Resurrection -- The 153 fish lifted up -- John 21:11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. – (no souls were lost)
- Lifting up to safety -- The dimensions of the ark that lifted up the faithful to safety are found in the Bible's 153rd verse and included 3-5-3 -- Gen 6:15 "This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
- Elijah being taken up by a whirlwind (lifted to eternal life) The 315th Bible chapter and the 9553rd Bible verse -- 2Kin 2:1 And it came about when the LORD was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven…
- Appearing before the Glory of God -- The 53rd Bible verse in the 53rd Bible chapter – Abraham on his face before the Glory of God, the burning bush. -- Exo 3:6 He said also, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
