July 16, 2023 – Do You Know About God’s Numerical Symbolism?
Sermon: 1993 – 666 vs 777
Pray Over This
“Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Ponder This
God is a God of order and design, and you see that in all of creation. Numerical law is written into the Universe. In astronomy, we can chart the heavens past and future by mathematics. The same is true in chemistry, which is primarily a study of mathematics and numbers. Study biology: just as flowers have a certain number of petals, there is a mathematical arrangement to everything that is biological. For example, there are 46 chromosomes in the cell of a man; there are trillions of cells, but all of them have one number of chromosomes, 46. God does nothing by accident.
God has also provided the symbolism of numbers in the Bible. The study of the spiritual significance of numbers is called Gematria. The use and consistency of numerical symbolism in God’s Word is one of the many supports for the Bible’s divine inspiration.
- How does the order observable in creation increase our desire to praise our Creator?
- How does understanding the spiritual significance of numbers help us better understand God’s message in His Word?
Practice This
Use a Bible commentary or other trusted resource to research numerical symbolism in the Bible.
