The
Significance of Number 3 and Day of the Lord.
7 pages
Dec
9th with the birth of Venus, the bright morning star in Virgo to
April 8th New moon is 120 days which is 4 x 30.
December
9th was Rosh Chodesh (9/10) and the 7th day of Chanukkah.
The
Meaning of Numbers: The Number 120
The
number 120 can symbolize a divinely appointed time of waiting. After
God saw how sinful and dedicated to evil man had become after the
garden of Eden, he determined a one hundred and twenty year period
would be given for repentance and then the flood waters would come
(Genesis 6:1 - 3).
The
meaning of the number 120 is seen in its Exodus role when Israel left
Egyptian bondage. Scripture states that the Israelites who left Egypt
had 600,000 men (Exodus 12:37). When the Egyptians heard about their
former slaves leaving the country they complained to Pharaoh, who
then amassed 600 chariots to pursue the children of Israel (14:5 -
7). 600,000 is 120 times 5,000 and 600 is 120 times 5.
We
also find 120 playing a part in the Book of Revelation. In the end
time, God will save 12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel for
144,000 (120 x 1,200) total (Revelation 7).
Appearances
of the number one-hundred twenty
After
Jesus' resurrection and ascension to heaven, 120 disciples that were
gathered in Jerusalem chose a successor to Judas Iscariot (who
committed suicide) to be among the special eleven disciples who were
witnesses of Christ's entire ministry (Acts 1:14 - 26).
How
is the number 120 related to captivity?
One
hundred and twenty is a factor in the number of Kingdom of Judah
captives who returned to Jerusalem and the land of Palestine from
Babylon. According to the book of Ezra, 42,360 captives (120 x 353)
came back to resettle the land (Ezra 2:1, 64).

When
Ezra the prophet came back from Babylonian captivity, He determined
that the only way he could keep the knowledge of God active for the
Jews was to have copies of the Scriptures. These copies would be sent
to every synagogue in the world.
In
order to do this he first had to collect all the manuscripts
purported to be inspired. He then had to determine which ones
actually were inspired by God, edit them, correct any mistakes,
arrange them in a proper order and so on. To aid him in this
monumental task Ezra decided to create what is known as the Great
Synagogue (or Great Assembly).
The
Great Synagogue, with Ezra as the leader, was a group of 120 Jewish
elders who led the effort to officially collect and edit the writings
that would become what we call the Old Testament.
"
. . . Ezra the priest - assisted by the priests and Levites of the
Great Assembly or Synagogue - completed the final editing and
canonization of the Old Testament Scriptures . . . " (HBFV,
Second Edition, page 4)
The
canonization (the collecting of writings to be considered
authoritative and definitive) of the Old Testament scriptures
occurred in the late fifth century B.C. After Ezra died, the Great
Synagogue continued for only about another 100 years.

The
Meaning of Numbers: The Number 4
The
number 4 derives its meaning from creation. On the fourth day of what
is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. On
this day he brought into existence our sun, the moon, and all the
stars (Genesis 1:14 - 19). Their purpose was not only to give off
light, but also to divide the day from the night on earth, thus
becoming a basic demarcation of time. They were also made to be a
type of signal that would mark off the days, years and seasons.
Interestingly,
the Hebrew word for 'seasons' in Genesis 1:14 is moed (Strong's
Concordance #H4150), which literally translated is "appointed
times" (divine appointments) in reference to God's festivals.
This is the earliest known allusion to what would later be called the
Holy (or Feast) days (periods) of worship, which are seven in number.
The
4th of the Ten Commandments is to remember and keep God's holy
Sabbath day (Exodus 20:9 - 11). The Sabbath day is tied directly to
the creation week. God himself made the period between Friday sunset
and Saturday sunset extra special when he rested on it after bringing
everything into existence the previous six days (Genesis 2:1 - 3,
Exodus 20:11).
Appearances
of the number four
One
of the top ten most frequently mentioned women in the Bible, Eve, is
only referenced four times (Genesis 3:20, 4:1, 2Corinthians 11:3 and
1Timothy 2:13).
Psalm
107 is the only section or chapter in God's word that contains the
exact same phrase four times (Psalm 107:8, 15, 21 and 31).
The
apostle Paul was a man familiar with 4 major first century cultures.
He was a Roman citizen, he was a Jew who spoke Greek as well as
Hebrew, and he was a Christian.
The
Garden of Eden had a river which parted into the headwaters of four
other rivers. These rivers were the Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and the
Euphrates (Genesis 2:10 - 14).
After
Jesus was nailed and hung on a cross, Roman soldiers divided up his
clothes into four parts (one for each soldier - John 19:23).
The
four witnesses of God on earth are miracles, wonders, signs and the
gifts of the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 2:4).
The
number of times rainbows are referenced in scripture are four
(Genesis 9, Ezekiel 1:28, Revelation 4:3, 10:1).
Ezekiel,
prophecy and the number 4
In
Ezekiel's well-known 'wheel in the middle of a wheel' vision (Ezekiel
1, 10) he sees four living creatures transporting a throne with four
sides and four wheels. Each of the living creatures (likely Cherubim,
a class of angels) has four faces (the face of a man, lion, ox and
eagle) and four wings (1:6).
Later
in the book that bears his name, Ezekiel is told to proclaim to
Israel that an end is coming upon 'the four corners of the land'
(Ezekiel 7:2). In chapter 14 the prophet is told by the Eternal to
ask Israel's unrepentant elders to repent or else four sore judgments
will come upon Jerusalem. They are the sword, famine, wild beasts or
animals, and pestilence (14:21).

There
are 4 gospel accounts of Jesus' life and ministry. Each of these
emphasizes a unique aspect of his sacrifice and ministry. Matthew's
focus is on Christ being the son of David and a King. Mark highlights
the suffering servant aspect of his ministry. John proclaims Jesus is
the One and Only begotten Son of God. And Luke showcases him as the
Perfect Man.

The
number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and
perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought,
event or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the
number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment
on the subject.
The
Meaning of Numbers: The Number 3
The
number 3 is used 467 times in the Bible. It pictures completeness,
though to a lesser degree than 7. The meaning of this number derives
from the fact that it is the first of four spiritually perfect
numerals (the others being 7, 10 and 12). The 3 righteous patriarchs
before the flood were Abel, Enoch and Noah. After the deluge there
was the righteous "fathers" Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (later
renamed Israel).
There
are 27 books in the New Testament, which is 3 x 3 x 3, or
completeness to the third power.
Jesus
prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest. He
was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died
at the 9th hour (3 p.m.). There were 3 hours of darkness that covered
the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to
the 9th hour. Three is the number of resurrection. Christ was dead
for three full days and three full nights, a total of 72 hours,
before being resurrected on Saturday, April 8, just before sunset.
April
8th Rapture First sliver of the New Moon (Matt 24:31=Lk 24:44=Psalms
118:5=Ps 81:3) in Cetus below Pisces. Internet goes down. Banks
close of Friday and then opens a week later and all of your cash,
savings, and retirement money is gone (Ezekiel 7). Hopi Blue Star
(Helion) shows up 1-2 days prior to the rapture party of 400 million
and all the children under the age of knowing right from wrong (Deut
1) or on a future first sliver of the New Moon. 3 hours of water
standing still on the surface of the globe. Along with this is the
Axial poleshift, earthquake of 3.0-15.0 depending upon where you
live, 3 days of darkness (72 hours) at the beginning of the
earthquake followed by fire balls and 100 pound hail storms and the
rest of the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments of Revelation between the New
Moon (Matt 24:31; Lk 24:44; Psalms 118:5; Psalms 81:3) and ten days
later (Psalms 118:10-13; Ps 18:4-6; Rev 16/19) with the marriage of
the Groom and bride and Armageddon. Then 5 days of grace and then the
Millennium beginning on the Full moon (Psalms 81:3; Prov 7:20) and a
30 year mini ice age (deep freeze).
Appearances
of the number three
There
were only three individuals who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration on
Mount Hermon. Those who saw Jesus' glory on the mount were John,
Peter and James.
The
apostle Paul was an exceptionally well educated person. In three
different occasions he quotes directly from Greek poets (Acts 17:28,
1Corinthians 15:33 and Titus 1:12). He also was privileged to visit
the location of God's throne, which is in the third heaven
(2Corinthians 12:2 - 4).
The
three words that appear only once in Scripture are Reverend (Psalms
111:9), Eternity (Isaiah 57:15) and Grandmother (2Timothy 1:5).
Only
three people were allowed to ask God anything. They were Solomon
(1Kings 3:5), Ahaz (Isaiah 7:11) and, of course, Jesus Christ (Psalm
2:9).
The
three gifts given to Israel by God were his law, the land of their
inheritance, and their calling (the world to come).
The
Bible only mentions the name of three angels (Michael, Gabriel and
Lucifer).
How
is the number 3 related to sex sins?
There
are three places in the New Testament where sex sins are specially
referenced. The first is in Romans 1:20 - 32, where certain people
who reject God are given over to defile themselves in a variety of
ways that includes homosexuality (male and female) and overall sexual
immorality.
The
second mention of sex-related sins is in 1Corinthians 5:1 - 13, where
the apostle Paul must handle the problem of the local church allowing
a member to openly commit incest. The third sex issue dealt with in
the New Testament is in Revelation 2:19 - 25. A female who considers
herself a prophetess within the Thyatira church, in the spirit of
Jezebel, was teaching believers to commit sexual immorality and
spiritual adultery.
Three
in Prophecy
Next
to seven, 3 is the most commonly found or referenced number in
Revelation. An angel is charged to cry three woe's to those who live
on earth to warn them of more trials to come (Revelation 8:13). The
murdered bodies of the Two Witnesses will not be allowed to be buried
but rather will lie openly in Jerusalem for three days before they
are resurrected.
Three
unclean spirits will be allowed to deceive the whole world to fight
the returning Jesus Christ in what is called the battle of Armageddon
(Revelation 16:13 - 16). The new Jerusalem, created by God for
placement on a new earth, will be shaped like a square with three
gates on each side (Revelation 21:13).
Additional
info on the Biblical Meaning of 3
God
is described, in the very beginning of the book of Revelation, as a
Being "which is, and which was, and which is to come"
(Revelation 1:4).
There
are 3 great periods of God's annual Feast days of worship. They are
the Spring festivals (Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread), the
summer festival (Pentecost) and the Fall festivals (Feast of
Trumpets, Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles).
