Definition of number 2 is about Jesus, Love, being joined together and a redeemer has come for us. 2nd book, Exodus Moses delivers God's People 2:22 Bible verses

Just a quick post to share one of the best examples of the Bible Like Referenced Verse Sets that help us understand the meaning of God's numbers. As I've mentioned in many other blog posts, like referenced verses of the Bible have a common theme of meaning running through them. When the chapter and verse numbers are the same, such as in the Bible's 2:22 verses, we find themes that are very reflective of the symbolism of that number (IE number 2).

The number two is symbolic of these types of things; Jesus (who is 2nd to God); a redeemer who is sent to ave us; things joined together or things in pairs, love and other similar themes. Of course, like all numbers, each has positive and negative symbolism, so number two can also be related to things opposite to these meanings such as; things that take us away from God, things that don't love, things being separated or torn apart, etc.

I've explained the meaning of God's numbers 1-10 in several other places in this blog.

Below I've provided a list of most of the Bible's 38 verses that have a chapter and verse reference of 2:22. Observe them to better understand the hyper number 2 (#2 three times) and what symbolism the Bible's associates with this number. Watch for these in your Bible reading and they will help teach you how to discern the meanings of Biblical numbers.

If you observe them, eventually, you will be surprised in a tremendous heart-felt way, how holy, the HOLY BIBLE truly is.

 

Every number in the Bible has meaning: 32 Chapters have 15 verses and all have a common theme of resurrection/instructions

Evidences for a Perfect Bible

Just a quick observation for the day. I am always totally amazed at the obvious evidences the Holy Bible is divinely organized and numbered down to book, chapter and verse numbers. Even beyond that, even the number of verses in any Bible chapter has meaning. See for yourself...

The KJV and similarly structured bibles have 32 chapters having with 15 verses. The symbolism or meaning associated with number 15 is about promises/declarations from the LORD regarding being saved or resurrected. An example of this is that many refer to 1 Corinthians chapter 15 as the "Resurrection Chapter".

Number 15

Number 15 is also related to number 5 which is about promises, covenants/blessings and curses. I think of #5 and #15 has often having instructions, commands, declarations from God. When the examples include instructions, they are regarding our salvation.

To demonstrate the common themes across chapters with 15 verses, I've included my personal descriptions for these chapters. Note, these are developed over many years and I'm sure they need editing and refinement. In any case, use this list to confirm for yourself, through your own Bible study, how there is an amazing consistency of the theme of messages in chapters with 15 verses. You can also note how this similar theme may be found in the Bible's chapter number 15's:

(Note, Every number has both a positive and negative/opposite meaning, so some of these examples will demonstrate the destruction of those against the LORD. Be sure to use these as examples only. Use your own observations of each chapter's theme to confirm the common theme of messages running through the chapters.)

What is the meaning of number 19? It refers to those under judgment because they have not confessed their sin before God...

While I was in worship this evening I happened to notice the well-known verse of 1John 1:9 that says ”If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. I noticed how perfectly it seem to fit the symbolic meaning of the number 19 in the Bible. I’ve written in many other blog posts how the Bible’s chapter and verse numbers are divinely inspired, and how you can take chapter along with a verse number, from any verse, and combine them together to help understand the meaning of the combined number. For example using a verse reference of 1:9, if you take the number one from the chapter and the number nine from the verse this would help you know the meaning and symbolism for the number 19. As crazy as this sounds it’s very provable this is by God’s design and in this blog post I’ll give evidence that will help demonstrate this concept.

Note: if this is the first AmazingWord blog post you’ve read this concept is going to be very new and sound totally impossible. Rather than try and again go over my findings on Bible numbers, what they mean, and how the Bible is divinely numbered, I refer you to examine my other blog posts or my website at www.AmazingWord.com for more information.

Number Meanings are Progressive

To help the support understanding the meaning of number 19 it’s useful to understand that the symbolism for numbers has progressive meanings, and in a sense, a series of numbers tell a story. That is, as you understand the symbolism for numbers one through ninety-nine you’ll find that number one begins with meaning about God and number ninety-nine is the last number before totality and has symbolism about last things or ends of things. All the numbers between one and ninety-nine have a progressive series of meanings that lead from basically the existence of God till the end of God’s story from 1 to 100. Knowing numbers have progressive symbolism, let’s use that to help illuminate how the number 19 fits a meaning of confessing sin and being saved. The symbolism related to number 18 through 24 speak of the existence of sin through the day of the Lord where sin will be punished.

• ·         Number 18 is related to number 666 or 6+6+6 and is symbolic of sin or evil in the world.
• ·         Number 19 relates to our need to confess our sin to be saved.
• ·         Number 20 relates to knowing that the Messiah is coming to save us.
• ·         Number 21 speaks of actually being saved or made clean/consecrated. IE 777/7+7+7.
• ·         Number 22 relates to Jesus the suffering servant who is the one who comes to save us
• ·         Number 23 God with us. IE “where two or three are gathered God is in our midst”.
• ·         Number 24 refers to the "Day of the Lord". A day of judgment (24 hours).

Symbolism for Number 19

I define the symbolism for number 19 as being related to sin and our need to confess it to be saved.  If we assume 1John 1:9 relates to the number 19, this verse would apparently be a great clue to the meaning and symbolism for the number:

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Researching Number Meanings

When I’m researching to understand the meaning of a number there’s many different evidences I look at to confirm what I think it might symbolize. For example, researching the number 19, I would consider verse 19s in the Bible; chapter 19s; the 19,000th verse of the Bible; anywhere the number 19 is used in the text of the Bible: and even the 19^th items in lists if I can find them. For me to believe I have a good idea of symbolism for a number all these items should point to the same general meaning.

Do the Bible’s 1:9 verses support my conclusion?

My objective of this writing is to briefly explain what I think number 19 symbolizes and gives some evidence for it. I’m not going to attempt to go over all of these different kinds of evidences here. I invite you to research some of these items yourself if you’re so inclined.

So let’s look at the Bible’s 1:9 verses -- there’s 65 of them. I’ve reviewed each of them and selected some of the most obvious examples that support what I believe the definition to be. The ones not shown here support the definition but in less obvious ways. I don’t include all of them here because I’ve found that trying to present too many evidence examples seems to confuse rather than to clarify the concept.

Concluding, below I’ve listed a series of the Bible’s 1:9 verses that all seem to confirm that number 19 relates to sin against God that is either gone without being confessed, or sin that has been confessed before God and atonement made. Unconfessed sin results in punishment were confessed sin with atonement results in salvation. In the Old Testament atonement meant sacrifices, in the New Testament atonement means accepting God’s sacrifice of Jesus Christ as atonement for sin.

• 1Joh 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
• Jer 2:35 Yet you said, 'I am innocent…Behold, I will enter into judgment with you Because you say, 'I have not sinned.'
• 1The 1:9 For they themselves report…how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
• Heb 1:9 "YOU LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE…YOUR GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU…"
• Gal 1:9 …if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
• 2Pet 1:9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
• 2The 1:9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
• Jer 3:6 Then the LORD said…"Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill…and she was a harlot there.
• 2Cor 1:9 …we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
• Amo 1:9 "For three transgressions of Tyre..I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom…
• Nahm 1:9 Whatever you devise against the LORD, He will make a complete end of it. Distress will not rise up twice.
• Jude 1:9 But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil…said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
• 1Tim 1:9 the law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious…

Conclusion

I these examples demonstrate how these like referenced verses really do point to a similar thread of meaning about sin and the need for atonement for it. Of course, my concept of the meaning for number 19 might be incorrect, but I think it’s in the general area of being accurate. I love feedback and encourage anyone who looks at this information to let me know what they think. And if you think this is all wrong, let me know that too. In addition to looking at this specific definition for number 19, remember that if you have a desire to understand the meaning of any number, use these kinds of steps to help the Bible lead you to the meaning God has placed around numbers.

 

John 21:7 -- Why did Peter throw himself into the water..excited to see Jesus?

Evidence from Bible's Number Patterns Clarifies our Interpretation

“… So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.….” John 21:7

In the 21st chapter of the book of John in the New Testament we find an account of how Jesus secretly manifested himself to his disciples on a beach after his resurrection. John 21 says that all night Peter and the disciples were out fishing in a boat, but they did not catch any fish. As the sun came up, an unknown man (Jesus) stood on the shore commenting that they had caught no fish. This man then instructed them to put the net down on the right side of the boat and as a result they caught so many fish they could not lift the net into the boat.

After this obvious miracle occurred, the disciple in the boat with Peter exclaimed "It is the Lord" recognizing this man on the beach as the risen Jesus. Upon hearing this, Peter immediately got up and dressed himself (because he was naked) and "threw" himself into the ocean.

Every explanation of this account I can find says Peter was so excited to go see the Lord that he didn't wait for the boat to be taken to shore. Instead, he threw himself in the water to quickly swim to see Jesus. This explanation never made good sense to me and it bothered me that the text said Peter "threw" himself in the water. For many years I felt it was taking a leap of interpretation to read into the text why Peter threw himself in the water. My experience was (when discussing scripture with others) when I assumed too much about what the text said,  I often found myself in the uncomfortable position of trying to explain how I could know what the text did not specifically spell out.

One day, when encountering this text again in one of my personal Bible study times I saw it in a different light. The previous evening I had been in a study of Genesis chapter 3 where Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit. When God came by in the garden, they knew their guilt of sin and covered themselves (dressed) and hid from God due to their shame. When studying John 21 the next day I realized this account of Peter dressing himself and then throwing himself in the water was very much like Adam in Eve in the Garden.

As I studied this text more I realized Peter had just previously denied Jesus three times before his crucifixion and now Jesus had shown up right before him. It seems that out of his guilt and shame Peter covered his nakedness and tried to hide so Jesus would not see him.

I was very excited to see this aspect of the text and later tried to share it with others. Everyone I explained the possibility to thought it was interesting but could not possibly be a valid explanation. They would quickly change the subject at the unpleasant thought of discussing such crazy thoughts about this passage.

Wanting to help prove to myself that my new interpretation was either true or not, I thought that I might look at the pattern of themes in the Bible's 21:7 verses and see if they would help clarify what the verse at John 21:7 was really saying. I was astonished to find very clearly that the preponderance of 21:7 verses spoke of sin, not excitement or good. Even though I still don't find anyone who quite accepts my explanation today, I am basically confident that Peter was hiding from his shame and not eager to see Jesus.

This is one of my best examples of how the patterns reflected in Biblical numbering can help guide our interpretation of scripture. It shows another way the Bible helps interpret itself. Following is an explanation of how the patterns of like referenced verses can help us discern scripture better.

Like-referenced Verses

There are 4,532 different combinations of chapter- and verse-number references, which I refer to as “like-referenced-verse sets.” These are verses in different books that have the same chapter and verse number, such as the 28:14 verse set, in which there are, coincidentally, fourteen different verses. Due to the predictability of numbers with their themes, we can examine sets of like-referenced verses to get an understanding of the common theme that runs through them. This is not to imply that every verse in the set has the same theme, but every verse in the set does have themes relating somehow to the verse reference number, and by examining all of those in the set we can observe themes running through them. One of the most helpful examples of where these like-referenced verse sets have guided me is in examining John 21:7, where Peter throws himself into the water when he sees Jesus on the shore: “… So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.….”

Every commentary I find seems to believe Peter was in such a hurry to see Jesus that he jumped into the water to swim to the Lord. But that’s not what the verse says. It says he threw himself into the water. When other people did not understand how I questioned the common interpretation I decided to look at like-referenced verses to see if there were clues to helping understand it. I was amazed as I began to see the strong evidence for the theme of 21:7 verses relating to the shame of sin.

Examples of Bible's 21:7 verses showing they follow a pattern of sinfulness

Num 21:7 So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD…
Job 21:7 "Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?
1Chr 21:7 God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel.
Prov 21:7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away, Because they refuse to act with justice.
Deu 21:7 and they shall answer and say, 'Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
Lev 21:7 'They shall not take a woman who is profaned by harlotry, nor shall they take a woman divorced from her husband…
2Kin 21:7 Then he set the carved image of Asherah that he had made in the house (temple).
Eze 21:7 "..'Why do you groan?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that is coming; and every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble"

And in John 21:7 notice how the sin theme surfaces in the text...

 “when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment (fig leaf) on and threw himself into the sea (tried to hide from the Lord)" (John 21:7 ).   

            The verses in this 21:7 set helped me confirm that Peter didn’t throw himself into the water because he was eager to see Jesus, but because he had just denied Jesus three times, and upon seeing Him, much like Adam and Eve in the garden, he put on a fig leaf (his outer garmet) “threw himself” into the water to hide from the Lord. This gives amazing meaning we can relate to regarding Peter’s action as we all can understand such shame and knowing Peter was afraid to see Jesus gives new understanding to the significance of the following passages where Jesus restores him—John 21:15 “...Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me...”. 

Analyzing verse sets does not interpret verses for you, but it gives valuable insight to better understand the messages in the Bible. When you need more information to help understand scripture, examine like referenced verses for themes that will guide you.

A quick look at the Bible's Redemption Pattern and Numeric Map…

What is this "Redemption Pattern" God left us to find in his Word?

Every list (numbered or not); every numbered Book, verse and chapter, and virtually the entire Bible is written in what I refer to as "God's Redemption Pattern". The basic repeating numerical pattern of things arranged in one to ten sequence always line up with that I believe are God's Guide to the Ten steps we take in being redeemed. It's God's way of constantly reminding us, through his word, how we grow in him. This post explains a bit about the Redemption Pattern and how it works.

As an example of the Redemption Pattern; Take the list of "I AM" statements made in the Book of John. These statements tell us who Jesus is. Because their meanings line up with the symbolism of the numbers in the redemption pattern, we know we have an accurate/complete list of Jesus Ten statements about who he is. Below I've noted each of the 10 "I Am" statements in John and show the redemption pattern symbolism for the numbers 1-10 beside them.

Ten "I am's" of John

1 - bread of life (God is)

2 - bread that came down… (God sent a deliverer - Jesus)

3 - the living bread… (He is Holy/Righteous, we need a way to be with him)

4 - I am the Light of the world (Jesus came to our wilderness (world) to teach/save us)

5 - ...testifiy about Myself (We must learn/accept God's plan/covenants)

6 - door of the sheep (The only way to heaven is to repent/cross over via The Cross)

7 - the good shepherd (Once we accept Jesus, he is faithful to teach/guide us in growing)

8 - resurrection and the life (When we learn God's way is only good way, we become Godly)

9 - the way.. the truth ...the life (future, Jesus will return to take his people with him)

10 - the true vine (The End - Truth... end of story)

More about the Bible's Redemption Pattern

Wherever the digits or numbers one to ten in the Bible are found you will also somehow observe associated with them a progressive set of symbolic meanings that each number represents. I believe this progressive set of meanings describes God's ten step plan of redemption. Following is a list of these ten basic themes. Below is a chart that shows how some well known parts of the Bible follow these meanings. Use these examples to get an idea of how the numbers are associated with different topics and then use this knowledge to observe this pattern in your own Bible study.

• #1-God--Creator of all things--Beginnings, first things, things counted, set apart by kind, self, pride, God, leaders, Kings
• #2-Jesus-God hears and sends a redeemer to save--relationship, sons, daughters, love
• #3-Holy Spirit-God in us--Righteousness, Purity, Power of God
• #4-Wilderness Trials, testing--A time of preparing the heart--things of the world
• #5-Instructions for entering the land--Covenants, rules...choices for blessings & curses
• #6-Crossing over & turning from Sin--repentance, taking strongholds of sin
• #7-Becoming Complete--The Good Shepherd leads with rod and staff, conflict, adultery, turning away and turning back.
• #8-The Godly & New Beginnings--Faithful Servants, receiving the Holy Spirit, abundance, the remnant, baptism, circumcision
• #9 Watching for Jesus return--Persevering in service, future events and plans
• #10-The End - Last & Final Things-Commands, Day of the Lord, final judgment, last things & End Times

Redemption Pattern Examples

The Redemption Pattern is a set of ten parts of God's overall plan for redeeming men. The ten step pattern is infused into every aspect of scripture as a constant reminder of our walk with God. The chart below shows the ten parts and the numbers God associates with them. Also shown are eight different aspects of the Bible that reveal how the pattern is found virtually everywhere in the bible. Each column in this chart contains a set of ten sequential parts of different Bible passages matching the pattern. Looking across the rows of the chart for each of the ten steps you will find the theme of each one represented in the corresponding part of each passage. For more evidence you can use this chart with your own Bible to find more examples of the pattern throughout the scriptures.
