Great Leaders Who Were Blessed For Respecting The Bible

 


America Was Blessed Because
Patrick Henry Respected The Bible And
 Thomas Jefferson Respected The Bible

     America is a blessed country because its early leaders respected the bible. Patrick Henry wasn't ashamed of Jesus and the bible. He said It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation (America) was founded, not by religionists, but by christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.

     America has been a blessed nation for hundreds of years because America has respected Jesus and the bible. Psalm 33:12 says Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. And Proverbs 14:34 says Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people. We need to pray that todays leaders in America would remember the early leaders who respected the bible and allow bibles in our schools keeping our churches open for people to gather, repent, pray, and call mightily to God for mercy from the plagues of coronavirus and violence.

     We need to have leaders in America today that could say along with Patrick Henry If I could leave each of my children a million dollars but could not leave them a heritage of faith in God, I would leave them nothing of value and unfit to face life. In other words we need to remember Mark 8:3 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

     Patrick Henry is a great christian hero of faith. Note the reason that Patrick Henry said the famous quote "Give me liberty or give me death" that was the rallying phrase for the American Revolution and freedom from the British. Patrick Henry had witnessed a minister tied to a whipping post by British officials in Culpepper Viginia on March 7, 1775. This minister was being beaten like Jesus for preaching the gospel without a British license. British officials made it a crime in the colonies to preach without a license, and this man, along with 12 other ministers were jailed for refusing to accept that anyone, including the British government had the authority to turn a natural right into a government granted privilege. Because Patrick Henry said Give me liberty or give me death, America was freed from British tyranny and today we experience the blessing of separation of church and state.

Patrick Henry's Will
There is one thing more that I wish that I could give you all
That is the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ
With it, if you had nothing else you could still be happy
Without it, if you had all things else you could never be happy

     And how about this blessed quote from another early American leader named Thomas Jefferson; I have always said and I always will say that the studious perusal of the sacred volume (in other words daily studying, reading, and memorizing the bible) will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands. Wow Thomas Jefferson encouraged everyone to study their bibles and learn more about Jesus Christ. The result was that America became a great blessed nation. I've never met a person that regretted having Jesus in their life. Jesus and the bible always makes people better and blessed. Pray that the Lord Jesus will place leaders in America that respect prayer, the bible, and Jesus like Thomas Jefferson. 

     And think about how Thomas Jefferson told people to devote their time to studying and learning the bible. Friend reading this anywhere, how much time do you devote to reading and studying your KJV bible? Have you read your bible today as much as you have been talking or texting on your cellphone? Have you read your bible today as much as you have been on facebook, twitter, and youtube? Have you read your bible today as much as you have been watching the news media and politics? Remember God promises in Psalm 1 that if you daily memorize the bible whatsoever you do God will prosper (in other words God will fix everything in your life if you daily memorize the blessed 1611 KJV bible).


America Was Blessed Because
Abraham Lincoln Respected The Bible

     Abraham Lincoln was a blessed christian that loved the Lord Jesus and respected the bible. During the civil war, Abraham Lincoln wrote to his friend Joshua Speed saying I am profitably engaged in reading the bible. Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance upon faith and you will live and die a better man. Because Abraham Lincoln respected the bible, America became a great nation where slavery was abolished and all people enjoyed freedom. 

     The citizens of America need to remember that our democracy was created from the blessed principles of the bible. Instilled in the minds of those who framed our Constitution was the idea that no one had a right to become a dictator because liberty was one of the inalienable rights which came from the Creator. In other words, America was founded upon the good ole 1611 KJV bible. America was not founded from the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the new world translation of the Jehovah Witnesses bible, or any other false cults religious materials or publications.


England Was Blessed Because 
Alfred the Great, Queen Elizabeth I, And Queen Victoria
Respected The Bible

     The three greatest periods of English history came when national recognition was given to the bible as God's Word. When Alfred the Great was king, England rose from barbarianism, division, and ignorence to a united civilized nation because Alfred the Great respected the bible and helped translate into English parts of the bible. And Queen Elizabeth I was the first person to officially promote the circulation of the bible. As a result, England became a world power for the first time.

     And when Queen Victoria pictured above ruled England, the British Empire climbed to its zenith (greatest success) in power and in territory. When asked by a foreign prince the secret of her country's greatness, Queen Victoria replied "The bible my lord is the secret of our greatness." Like Queen Victoria, America must return to respecting and promoting the Word of God to remain a great nation. Anyone reading this anywhere: Learn this lesson; Respect and promote the bible and become a blessed nation. Remove and be ashamed of the bible and become a cursed nation. Remember to heed the warning at Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.  


Felix Was Not Blessed Because He Rejected Paul And The Bible

     Felix rejected Paul and the bible and there is no record that Felix ever was saved. When Felix heard Paul's preaching Acts 24:25 tells us And as he (Felix) reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. A convenient season never occurred for Felix and Felix probably is in hell for rejecting the bible and Jesus. 

     Friends, there is never a future convenient time or season to get saved. The time to get saved is right now. Now is the day of salvation. Jesus said at 2 Corinthians 6:2 I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Remember don't be like Felix and delay getting saved. Remember the warning from Proverbs 27:1 that says Boast not thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Our lives are just vapours that appear for a little time and vanish away. Right now get saved; Repent, stop sinning, confess Jesus to be God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 


Today In America
The Freedom From Religion Foundation Does Not Respect The Bible

     After reading today's bible study we must pray that America respects and promotes the bible. There are organizations today in America that want to remove the bible and anything about God. One such group consists of atheists and agnostics in an organization called the Freedom from Religion Foundation Inc. based in Madison Wisconsin that still exists today. We must pray that the members of this wicked group repent and begin to respect and promote the bible.

     The Freedom from Religion Foundation Inc. placed the following warning on Gideon bibles placed in state park inns; "Warning Literal belief in this book may endanger your health and life." I disagree with this fake warning; Brother Bob says Literal belief in this book (the bible) will help (not endanger) your health and life.  Belief in the bible and Jesus who is the bible will save people's souls from hell and give them a better life. This is proven by John 10:10 where Jesus said I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Some Blessed Quotes About The Bible

A black African woman was asked if she enjoyed reading her bible
She replied Sir I'm not reading this book; This book is reading me
Thank you Jesus for using the bible to correct us and show us our sins
Because the Word divides asunder our soul and spirit
So we can experience blessings, peace, and joy

Mark Twain said what bothered him about the bible 
Was not the things he did not understand
But the things he did understand
Mark Twain feared God and got gloriously saved
Proverbs 10:27 says The fear of the Lord prolongeth days 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great peace, strength, and joy. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

But God Bible Verses

 


Two Words Of Hope
BUT GOD

     This bible study will look at many bible verses with the words but God to give us hope to overcome. Remember when things seem impossible, hopeless, and discouraging, we can all say but God. All things are possible with God and with the Lord Jesus we always have the victory and triumph no matter what it looks like. What a blessing to say but God can fix my problems when we face the troubles of this world. Don't react with stress to your problems; Instead present your requests to God in prayer and God will give you an answer and the peace of God that passeth all understanding. Right now rejoice and say a but God bible verse 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Psalm 73:26 But God Bible Verse

     Our first but God bible verse is at Psalm 73:26 where King David said but God to overcome his depression when he saw the prosperity of the wicked. The blessed scripture says My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart. Remember to daily say I can do all things through Christ Jesus which stengtheneth me. Get saved right now and allow Jesus to be the strength of your life. Repent, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Remember to daily say like King David, the Lord Jesus is my strength. Each day say I am crucified with Christ and ask the angels to cover you in the blood of Jesus. No matter what problems are in your life, you can say but God (the Lord Jesus) is the strength of my heart. Tell the devil daily that I have overcome all my problems (worries, fears, and sickness) by the blood of the Lamb Jesus that is the same yesterday, today, and forever. How encouraging to have a place called the cross of Calvary to place all our troubles daily and according to Hebrews 2:14 when we by faith daily see our problems crucified with Christ they are destroyed forevermore and no longer exist. 


Psalm 75:6 But God Bible Verse

     Our next but God bible verse is at Psalm 75:6 that says For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge; He putteth down one and setteth up another. In other words, when it looks like promotion isn't anywhere around us in the east, west, or south, we can look up to Jesus and say but God is my judge and will promote me from the north. The old phrase says the outlooks bad, the downlooks worse, but the uplooks looking pretty good. And if you have the right uplook, you'll have the right outlook and tell everyone about Jesus trying to win souls daily. Remember Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption (Jesus) draweth nigh.


Luke 5:21 But God Bible Verse

     The next but God bible verse at Luke 5:21 tells us that only the Lord Jesus can forgive sins. It says And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason saying Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone. When we feel guilty about our sins, how comforting to say but God who is Jesus alone can forgive all my sins and wash me white as snow in the blood of Jesus. 

     We don't have to visit a catholic priest to have our sins forgiven. Billy Kelly used to say I don't have to confess my sins through a knothole to a Latin speaking, bead counting, robe wearing priest that calls himself a father and to top it off he dresses like mama. Instead I can confess all my sins to the eternal high priest Jesus who is able to forgive all my sins and remember them no more. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a catholic pope or priest). And 1 John 1:9 promises If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


Ephesians 2:4 But God Bible Verse

     Our next but God bible verse shows us the mercy and love of Jesus to lost sinners at Ephesians 2:4 that says But God, who is rich in mercy for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace are ye saved). And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. 

     If you are reading this anywhere and say I've been too wicked for God to forgive me, remember you can say but God who is rich in mercy can wash away all my sins in the blood of Jesus and save my soul. Remember the thief on the cross by Jesus; This thief killed, raped, and was evil his entire life. But the thief's last words to Jesus were Lord remember me after repenting and saying he had sinned. Jesus replied Today thou shalt be with me in paradise and removed instantly all the thief's sins and promised him eternal life in heaven. Therefore, don't ever let your past sins stop you from getting saved. Come to Jesus as you are today and you can say but God who is rich in mercy has forgiven me and saved my soul. Jesus' invitation of salvation is to all people (even the worst of sinners). Revelation 22:17 tells us And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.


Luke 16:15 But God Bible Verse

     The next bible verse at Luke 16:15 tells us what is important to God. Jesus told the Pharisees, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; But God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. In other words whatever people in the world get excited about doesn't usually amount to a hill of beans with God. This is because James 4:4 tells us whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

     The things that are important to God are prayer, His Word, and witnessing and winning souls to the Lord Jesus. How much time have you spent today in the Word of God? Have you spent more time today in the Word of God than the time you spent on your cellphone texting or watching facebook, the news media, and youtube on the internet? Remember the thing that causes Jesus and the angels to rejoice in heaven is when a lost sinner repents and gets saved for Jesus. Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.  Instead of wasting time on the things of this world, start living for Jesus and daily winning souls. 


Acts 7:9 But God Bible Verse

     Our next but God bible verse at Acts 7:9 talks about how God never left Joseph and was always with him. The scripture says And the patriarchs moved with envy sold Joseph into Egypt, but God was with him. Joseph was thrown in a pit by his brothers, sold as a slave in Egypt, accused of rape by Potipher's wife, placed in prison in Egypt, and then blessed to be a ruler in Egypt. And Joseph was comforted throughout his entire life in the good and bad times because God was always with him. 

     Friend reading this anywhere, like Joseph when you get saved with the Lord Jesus, Jesus is always with you to comfort you with peace. Jesus promised us at Hebrews 13:5 I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. And Jesus also promised at Matthew 28:20 Lo I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Remember if God be for you, who could be against you? 

     In other words Jesus satisfies and all we need for happiness in this life is Jesus and His Word. Better is a dinner of herbs with love (Jesus) than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Better is a dry morsel with quietness thereof from Jesus than a house full of sacrifices and strife. Brother Bob says I'd rather live in my little apartment with my space heater and Jesus than in an elegant palace in the world without Jesus. 


Acts 13:28 But God Bible Verse

     Thank goodness for the next but God bible verse at Acts 13:28 that says God raised Jesus from the dead. What a blessing that when it looked like Jesus had no hope after three days in the grave, we can say but God raised Him from the dead. The blessed scripture says And though they found no cause of death in Him, yet desired they Pilate that He should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of Him, they took him down from the tree and laid Him in a sepulchre. But God raised Him from the dead.

     Rejoice saints because Jesus is risen from the dead. The tomb of Jesus is empty. No pieces of hair, no bone fragments, nothing but dirt. And as the angel said He is not here for He is risen as He said. Buddha, Mohammad, and Confucious are still in their graves. But Jesus is God because Jesus is risen from the grave. And friend if you are saved and believe in the Lord Jesus, you also will be raised from the dead with a new glorified body like Jesus. Philippians 3:21 promises Who (Jesus) shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.


1 Corinthians 2:9 But God Bible Verse

     This next but God bible verse encourages us to study the Word Of God where the Spirit will reveal infinite wisdom and blessings about the Lord Jesus. The scripture says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things yea the deep things of God.

     God's Word is like a new Christmas present. Every time you open God's Word, there is always something new that the Spirit can teach us. And you'll never get bored reading God's Word because there is infinite wisdom to be learned. This is proven by John 21:25 that says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. Keep reading your bible every day and be blessed by the many hidden revelations revealed by the Spirit that are hidden to the world.


1 Corinthians 3:6 But God Bible Verse

     The next but God bible verse at 1 Corinthians 3:6 tells us that Jesus and not ourselves brings salvation and blessings. The scripture is Paul saying I have planted, Apolos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase. We are the vessels that God uses to preach salvation to lost sinners, but ultimately God giveth the increase and saves souls. In other words, let's get the focus off ourselves and tell people to exalt Jesus in everything. Like John the Baptist, lets all say I must decrease and He (Jesus) must increase.

     Remember the words of Jesus telling us to remain humble and let's say Jesus we are unprofitable servants that are saved by grace exalting the Lord Jesus in everything. Jesus told us at Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which was our duty to do. Like Brother Bob be content and thank Jesus saying Psalm 84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.


A But God Bible Verse About Epaphroditus

     Next we see a but God bible verse about Epaphroditus where after he was sick unto death, Epaphroditus could say but God had mercy on me and healed me. Philippians 2:27 says For indeed he (Epaphroditus) was sick, nigh unto death, but God had mercy on Him and not on him only but on me (Paul) also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

     Like Epaphroditus and Paul, God will have mercy on you friends and heal you of any sickness. Lord Jesus let anyone reading this in Jesus name say but God had mercy on me and healed me from all worry, fear, and sickness. God is no respecter of persons; What God did for Epaphroditus and Paul, God will do for you friend. Like King David be healed and say Psalm 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.


1 Peter 5:10 But God Bible Verse

     This last but God bible verse for today at 1 Peter 5:10 tells us that God will strengthen and settle us with total victory over the devil. 1 Peter 5:8-10 says Be sober, be vigilent because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

     Friends the devil looks like a lion but he's all gums with no teeth that just makes a lot of noise. The real Lion of the tribe of Juda is Jesus who defeated the devil at the cross of Calvary. Remember with Jesus we have all power over all the power of the devil. The devil flees from the Jesus in us. James 4:7 promises Submit yourselves therefore to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. And if the devil reminds you of your past, remind the devil of his future. Tell the devil you're going to a sealed locked bottomless pit falling for 1000 years in torment with no bottom chained with a great chain and eventually devil you'll burn forever in torment in the lake of fire.

Final Poem About The Words But God
Every Time You See The Words But God
With The Lord Jesus We Have Hope To Overcome Any Trouble

     There was a day when the earth was without form and void, but God said let there be light and there was light. There was a day when God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination and the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually but God chose Noah and gave the race a new start. There was a day when the chosen people of Israel languished under Egyptian bondage but God called Moses to set the people free to worship God in the promised land. 

     There was a day when it seemed that heaven had ceased speaking to earth but God returned on the banks of Jordan to speak through the voice of John the Baptist. Then there was a day of all days when man was in sin without a Saviour but God sent forth His Son named Jesus to save lost sinners from hell and give them eternal life. And though we now live in the midst of a sinful world where we see the darkest hour just before daylight, we can gladly say but God is coming soon in the person of His Son Jesus Christ to catch us up to the clouds where we are comforted in peace forevermore. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great peace and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin 2233 Pinetree Lane Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day.

Numbers In The Bible


Revelations About Numbers In The Bible

     God speaks to us by numbers in the bible. Each number represents a message that Jesus wants his children to understand. This bible study will look at the first 13 numbers of the bible and the revelations about these numbers. The Lord Jesus reveals mysteries in the bible by using numbers to convey revelations to us. Alright let's look at the numbers 1 through 13 and learn how the Lord Jesus speaks through these numbers. 


The Number 1 Represents Unity Or One Unit

     Whenever you see the number 1 in the bible it represents unity or one unit. This is seen several times in Ephesians 4:4-6 that says There is one body and one spirit even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all. And we see the Father Son and the Holy Ghost that are one. In other words Jesus is one with God the Father which makes Jesus God. To be saved you must recognize Jesus to be God in the flesh and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again while you repent. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will get saved when they read this. 

     Don't try to use your mind to understand how Jesus can be God. Become like a little child and by faith with your heart accept the truth that Jesus is one with the Father and is God in the flesh. Don't try to reason in your mind how the Trinity of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit are one. Just believe it by faith with your heart because the Trinity is a mystery that must be accepted by faith. If I pour water into three different cups there are three different cups but the same water. Likewise, the Father Son and Holy Ghost are three separate entities but are one.


The Number 2 Represents Union

     Whenever you see the number 2 in the bible it represents the union of two coming together as one. For example we see the union of marriage where a man and a woman become one flesh seen at Mark 10:9 that says What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder. And if two people agree in prayer for anything to further God's will, it shall be done for them by the Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:19 says Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

     Remember, prayer is important to receive blessings from the Lord Jesus. The bible says we have not because we ask not. Jesus said Hitherto have ye not asked anything in my name. Ask that you might receive that your joy may be full. And the more people that agree in prayer will make the prayer stronger and hasten it's manifestation. Unfortunately most people prefer to hear preaching instead of attending a prayer meeting. I'd rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach. I challenge anyone reading this to gather groups of people in prayer and watch how fast God answers the prayers with many blessings. Instead of wasting your time on a cellphone texting, watching facebook and youtube all day, meet with groups of people daily in prayer and God will bless you greatly.


The Number 3 Represents Divinity And Trinity

     Whenever you see the number 3 in the bible it represents Divinity and Trinity. God is a Trinity (1 God with 3 parts-Father Son and Holy Ghost). Man is a trinity (1 person with 3 parts-body soul and spirit). The Trinity about God having 3 parts was first mentioned in the beginning of time at Genesis 1:26 that says And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness. Notice God didn't say Let me make man in my image after my likeness. God is a Trinity (Father Son and Holy Spirit) that is One God with 3 parts.

     We also see the Trinity of God in the picture above when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Matthew 3:16 says And Jesus (the Son) when He was baptized went up straightway out of the water and lo the heavens were opened unto Him and He saw (the Spirit) of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him. And lo a voice from heaven saying ( the Father) This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.

     Notice the following examples of trinity in nature and the bible. A bucket of water displays the trinity and can be either a liquid, solid, or vapor and be the same bucket of water. This is demonstrated with drinking water, frozen water, and boiling water. The sun (like Jesus) exhibits a trinity; 1) Light rays representing Jesus-you can see them but you can't feel them 2) Heat rays representing the Holy Spirit-you can feel them but you can't see them 3) Actinic rays representing the Father-you can't see or feel them. God like the sun is a trinity; 1) God has a body you can see and feel-Jesus 2) God has a soul you can't see or feel-The Father 3) God has a Spirit you can feel but not see-The Holy Spirit. And the cheribum 4 beasts (noted at Ezekial 10:14-15) before the throne of God continually praise Jesus with a trinity 1) Holy, holy, holy 2) Lord God Almighty 3) which was and is and is to come (Revelation 4:8). 

     Usually everything on this earth comes in threes to form completion. Since God is a trinity, everything in the world is a trinity and a manifestation of God. There's a red light, a yellow light, and a green light; There are only three answers: Yes No or Maybe; A family is a Father, Mother, and Child; We also have Breakfast Lunch and Dinner; Beginners Intermediate and Advanced; Morning Noon and Night; Left Right Center; Ready Set Go; Ready Aim Fire; and Positive Negative Neutral.

     Bill Grady from his book Given By Inspiration gives the following blessed examples where three things signify completion. Goldilocks and the Three Bears; The Three Little Pigs; atmosphere, ionosphere, and stratosphere; electrons, protons, and neutrons; ABC, CBS, And NBC; 1,2,3-repeat after me; Veni, Vidi, Vici meaning I came, I saw, I conquered stated by Julius Caesar refering to a swift conclusive victory; small, medium, large; id, ego, superego; Huey, Dewey, and Louie; thesis, antithesis, and synthesis; snap, crackle, and pop; Prince, Paris, and Blanket (Michael Jackson's three kids); and the good, the bad, and the ugly.

     And heres's some more blessed examples where three things signify completion. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; the three R's (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic); of the people, by the people, and for the people; Three Coins In The Fountain 1954 movie; three ring circus; three time loser; three strikes and you're out; the third time's a charm; three bean salad; three sheets to the wind (To be three sheets to the wind is to be drunk. The sheet is a line that controls the sails on a ship. If the line is not secured, the sail flops in the wind, and the ship loses headway and control. If all three sails are loose the ship is drunk and out of control); and finally you can click this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebLde5kcqo and sing the children's song Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens.   

     Here's some more examples where three things signify completion. The three kingdoms of nature according to Linnaeus are mineral, vegetable, and animal; The three parts of color are hue (the attribute of color, red blue, yellow), chroma (the purity or intensity of color) and value (the lightness or darkness of color); The three elements in music are rhythm, harmony, and melody. There are three dimensions (constituents of the universe) called time, space, and matter. Time is subdivided into past, present, and future. Space is subdivided into length, width, and height. The three primary elements of nature are earth, water, and fire. Energy is formed from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Water (H2O) consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. The three major constituents of the earth's atmosphere (air) are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. 

     The three parts of the Old Testament are the Law, the Writings, and the Prophets; The three parts of the New Testament are the Gospels, the Acts, and the Epistles; God's name is composed of three letters-I AM; God's three main attributes are omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence; Israel's three patriarchs are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; The Holy Place of the tabernacle had the following three items: the seven candlesticks, the table of shewbread with 12 cakes, and the altar of incense. The Most Holy Place of the tabernacle had the following three items in the ark: the golden pot that had manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant (Hebrews 9:4); The bible was originally written in three languages; Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. The three major religions are Protestant, Greek Orthodox, and Catholic. 

     Here's some blessed revelations about the number three regarding Jesus, Paul, and John. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are visited by wise men who bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Jesus died on Calvary's middle cross between two thieves after three hours in darkness. Jesus then spends three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The ascended Lord Jesus Christ is now the only mediator between God and man. Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

     After the Apostle Paul is saved, baptized, and called to preach, he is sent to Arabia for three years of study. He then embarks upon his specialized ministry proclaiming Christ's death, burial, and resurrection to the Gentiles. The themes of his epistles include: faith, hope, and charity; justification, sanctification, and glorification; and grace, mercy, and peace. While the words "Thrice was I beaten with rods" describe a portion of his suffering, his personal revelations included a trip to the third heaven. At death, his sole possessions consisted of a cloak, books, and parchments. The Apostle John wraps up things by telling us about the three woes (fifth, sixth, and seventh trumpets at Revelation 8:13), 666, Holy, Holy, Holy, and the new heavens, new earth, and new city (Jerusalem).

     And let's not forget some more biblical threes in the bible. There's the threefold cord that is not quickly broken at Ecclesiastes 4:12; the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace; Peter's three denials; Egypt, the Wilderness, and Canaan; natural, carnal, and spiritual; the Great Commission to go, teach, and baptize; and the shout of Jesus, the voice of the archangel Michael, and the trump of God at the rapture when the saints are caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air.  

     Finally, let's look at some more examples where three things signify completion. One side of the earth has North America, Central America, and South America while the other side of the earth has Europe, Asia, and Africa; Children study in three places; elementary school, junior high school, and high school;  We're under the sun, the moon, and the stars; People are light, medium, or heavy; Our bodies have three main parts; The head, the trunk, and the limbs (extremities); There's Land Sea Air; Army Navy Air Force; Top Bottom Middle; Thought Word Deed; Motive Act Consequence; Shem Ham Japheth; Peter James John; The Pep Boys-Manny, Moe, and Jack; And finally there's Moe, Larry, and Curly. 


The Number 4 Represents World And Earth

     Whenever you see the number 4 in the bible it represents the world and the earth. Everything in the bible about the number 4 speaks about the world and this earth. For example there are 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). There are 4 directions (North, South, East, and West). There are 4 elements of matter (Earth, Water, Air, and Fire). There are 4 faces on this earth for the cheribum (man, lion, ox, and eagle).

     Every time we see the number 4 in the bible, it speaks about the world and the earth. Revelation 7:1-2 says And after these things I saw 4 angels standing on the 4 corners of the earth, holding the 4 winds of the earth that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Revelation 14:6 says that all people dwelling on this earth belong to one of four categories (every nation and kindred and tongue and people). Jesus predicts four major judgments upon the earth at Matthew 24:6-7 (war, famine, pestilence, and earthquakes). And note that there were 4 rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden (Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates).


The Number 5 Represents Death And Grace

     Whenever you see the number 5 in the bible it represents death and grace. The first mention of death from old age in the bible (after Abel's death from Cain that was a homicide murder) occurs at Genesis 5:5 that says And all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died. And in the new testament at Acts 5:5 Ananias gave up the ghost and died. Ananias was the first professing believer to die in the New Testament before Stephen died as a martyr for Jesus. Ananias' obituary entry is listed in the fifth verse of the fifth chapter of the fifth book in the New Testament at Acts 5:5; And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost; and great fear came on all them that heard these things. The fifth word-"words" (five letters) is a reference to Ananias' death sentence itself. And for what it's worth, "Sister Sapphira" dies five verses later at Acts 5:10 (2x5). 

     Jesus, death, and grace all have 5 letters. Jesus died for our sins on the cross and by Grace (God's Redemption At Christ's Expense) our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus. Note also that satan and devil have 5 letters that represent death. And night (five letters) (a picture of death) was created at Genesis 1:5. David used five smooth stones for Goliath's death sentence. And the fifth month is May where the distress signal given by pilots in planes to avoid death is Mayday, Mayday, Mayday taken from the French term venez m'aider meaning, "Come help me."

     The brazen altar of the Old Testament where thousands of animals were sacrificed by priests measured five cubits long and five cubits wide according to Exodus 27:1. Jesus' five meager garments at the cross are described at John 19:23; Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also His coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. Jesus' five meager garments at the cross were exchanged after the soldiers cast lots for five major wounds (four nail wounds in Jesus' wrists and feet and one wound from a spear that pierced Jesus' side).

      Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Note that the devil (five letters), formerly the anointed fifth cherub that covereth at Ezekial 28:14 who five times proclaimed I will at Isaiah 14:13-14 had the power of death (five letters) and the ability to put people into the grave (five letters). 

     But rejoice because there will be five downs for the devil because of the devil's five proud I wills at Isaiah 14:13-14. The first down from the third heaven to the second heaven is noted at Isaiah 14:15 that says Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. The second down from the second heaven to the first heaven is noted at Luke 10:18 that says I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. The third down from the first heaven to earth is noted at Revelation 12:9 that says And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 

     The fourth down from the earth to the bottomless pit is noted at Revelation 20:2-3 that says And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him. And finally the fifth down for the devil from the bottomless pit to the lake of fire is noted at Revelation 20:10 that says And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Hallelujah five downs for the devil who is defeated forever. 

     Also notice that death occurred at Joshua 10:16 and Joshua 10:26 when Joshua put his foot on the neck of 5 kings that were hung on 5 trees. And Asahel, Abner, and Amasa all suffered death from a spear under their 5th rib (the scripture references are 2 Samuel 2:23, 2 Samuel 3:27, and 2 Samuel 20:10). Finally by grace Benjamin received 5 times more than his brethren by grace. Genesis 45:22 says To all of them he (Joseph) gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and 5 changes of raiment. This grace was bestowed upon Benjamin because his mother Rachel suffered death when he was born. 



The Number 6 Represents Man Or Beast

     Whenever you see the number 6 in the bible it represents man or beast. Revelation 13:18 tells us that the number 6 is the number for a man or the beast (antichrist). This scripture says 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). And isn't it interesting the the number 666 for the mark of the beast is mentioned at Revelation 13 verse 18 that is (6+6+6).

     Truly the number 6 represents man and beast. God created both man and beast on the 6th day. The 6th book of the old testament is named after a man (Joshua). And note that Joshua has 6 letters. And wow the 6th book of the new testament is Romans and has the word man in it and also has 6 letters.  And if you open your bible to Romans 6:6 guess what the 6th word is (wow it's man in the KJV bible). The blessed scripture reads Knowing this that our old man (6th word is man) is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

     Now note that the NIV perversion bible misquotes Romans 6:6 and substitutes the word self for man as the 7th word instead of the blessed 6th word man in the KJV bible. Romans 6:6 in the NIV says For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves to sin. This is why people should only read a KJV bible that is the most accurate bible. Don't read any translated bible that denies the Diety of Jesus saying Jesus is not God. The NIV bible deletes 1 John 5:7 that says in the KJV that the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost are one claiming that Jesus (the Word) is God. The NIV misquotes 1 Timothy 3:16 saying Jesus is not God claiming he (not God) was manifest in the flesh. The KJV version of 1 Timothy 3:16 correctly states that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. 

     And how about this amazing revelation: There are 66 books in the bible. And if you read from John 1:1 to John 1:5 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...) that is talking about the bible Word Jesus there are exactly 66 words from John 1:1 to John 1:5 (note that John 1:6 is not talking about the Word Jesus but about John the Baptist). 

     And note that the book of Isaiah has 66 chapters each corresponding to one of the 66 books of the  bible. This only occurs in a King James bible and not any of the original bible manuscripts before 1611. The first book of the bible begins at Genesis 1:1 saying In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the first chapter of Isaiah at Isaiah 1:2 says Hear O heavens and give ear O earth. The last book of the bible at Revelation 21:1 says And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And the last chapter of Isaiah at Isaiah 66:22 says For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.  

     And notice that the split between the old and new testaments of a KJV bible occur after the 39th book. Isn't it amazing that the prophet Isaiah knew to divide and split his book at Chapter 39 where Chapter 40 mentions John the Baptist and the new testament before the entire bible was completed. If you look at the 40th book of the bible Matthew chapter 3 it is talking about John the Baptist. OK take a look at Isaiah 40:3 and it also is talking about John the Baptist saying The voice of him (John the Baptist) that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

     This proves that the 1611 KJV bible is the best translation of the bible because it was the 7th English translation after Jesus died on the cross. And Psalm 12:6 declares The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever. Note that the 6 prior English bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Tyndale 2) Matthew 3) Coverdale 4) Great Bible 5) Geneva and 6) Bishops. Also 6 historical bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Hebrew 2) Aramaic 3) Greek 4) Syriac in Antioch 5) Latin and 6) German by Luther. Therefore preach, read, and study only from a 1611 KJV bible (purified seven times) that is the 7th best, pure, and perfect translation that God has preserved from this generation forever. According to Revelation 3:10, the Philadelphia church that existed during 1611 KEPT and preserved the perfect KJV translation from this generation forever. The scripture promises Because thou (the Philadelphia church) hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.   

     One other note about the number 6. Nebuchadnezzar's image that he built was 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide. Daniel 3:1 says Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold whose height was threescore cubits (60 cubits) and the breadth thereof (6 cubits) he set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. This image was a shadow type of the image of the beast antichrist in the book of Revelation that was worshipped by man. Notice that from Daniel 3:1 to Daniel 3:7 the words set up (talking about Nebuchadnezzar's image) appear 6 times. And 6 instruments (cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer) were played before people fell down and worshipped the image that Nebuchadnezzar set up.



The Number 7 Represents Completion Or Perfection

     Whenever you see the number 7 in the bible it represents completion or perfection. God completed His creation of the heavens and earth on the 7th day and rested on the Sabbath. Perfect Jesus said it is finished and completed when Jesus spoke 7 sayings from the cross at Calvary. The 7 seals, trumpets, and vials will bring a completion to the 7 year tribulation. 

     And note that God uses the number 7 to complete time periods. First when God completed creation it was a week of days completed in 7 days. When God completed the time period for the Feasts it was a week of weeks completed in 7 weeks from the Feast of Firstfruits to the Feast of Pentecost. Then there was a week of months that was completed in 7 months from Passover to Tabernacles. Then a week of years occurred that was completed in 7 years. This happened when God told the Jews that they could plant for 6 years and on the 7th year rest. When the 7th year occurred the fields were left vacant so that the nutrients and minerals could be replenished.  And then there was a week of weeks (7x7 or 49) of years that was completed in 49 years. This is where we see that the 50th year is called the blessed year of jubilee. And finally we see a week of milleniums that will be completed in 7000 years which will be the total time period for human history.

     A couple more notes about the number 7. Note the plan God gave Joshua to conquer Jericho. First Joshua and his army walked around Jericho once for 6 days. Then on the 7th day Joshua and his army walked around Jericho 7 times and shouted to create a complete victory where the walls of Jericho fell down. And how about this incredible revelation about 3+4=7. If we look at the meanings of these numbers above we see that God Divinity did something in the world for completion and perfection.

     And yet some more notes about the number 7. There are 7 colors that complete a rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). And there are 7 notes to complete a music scale (do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, and begin again with do) and at the 8th note octave a new beginning occurs where the scale repeats. There are 7 colors for painting pictures; 3 primary colors that are red, yellow, and blue; 3 secondary colors that are orange, green, and purple; and one more color that is black. There are 7 openings on our face; 2 for the ears, 2 for the eyes, 2 for the nose, and 1 for the mouth. There are 7 days that complete a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).


The Number 8 Represents A New Beginning

     Whenever you see the number 8 in the bible it represents a new beginning. Noah was the 8th person in the bible after Adam and started populating a new earth with a new beginning of 8 people on the ark after the flood. After the millenium that includes the 7000 years of human history, a new beginning will occur after the Lord Jesus destroys this heaven and earth with fire and creates a new heaven and a new earth with the kingdom that would start during the year 8000.

     A couple more notes about the number 8. On the 8th day after Isaac was born, Abraham started a new beginning or new thing by circumcising Isaac. Genesis 17:12 says And he that is 8 days old shall be circumcised among you every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house or bought with money of any stranger which is not of thy seed. After salvation with Jesus, people experience a new beginning as a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) by a spiritual circumcision described at Colossians 2:11; In (Jesus) whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. And finally after the feast of tabernacles that lasted 7 days, a Holy Convocation occurred on the 8th day. This Holy Convocation started a new cycle or new beginning.

     Finally, notice the anointed picture above of Noah, his family, and the pairs of animals. It's amazing how the artist painted everything so accurate with all the pairs of animals. First notice that there are 8 people getting out of the ark (Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives) with a beautiful rainbow. Next notice the pairs of animals (two of each animal) 2 zebras, 2 bears, 2 giraffes, 2 rhinos, 2 elephants, 2 camels, 2 chimps, 2 lions, 2 rabbits, 2 penguins, 2 geese, 2 snakes, 2 foxes, 2 eagles flying, 2 quails, 2 sheep, 2 peacocks, 2 lizards, a rooster and a hen, 2 parrots, 2 robins, 2 kangaroos, 2 gorillas, 2 ostriches (struthiocamelus), 2 elks, 2 gazelles, 2 buffalo bisons, 2 seals, 2 chipmunks, 2 mice, 2 cougars, 2 crocodiles, and 2 ducks. 

     And how about some Noah humor. Noah was a blessed banker. He floated his stock while the whole world was in liquidation. When Noah's boys were fishing on the ark, Noah told his boys, Go easy on the bait boys, we only have 2 worms. The money on Noah's ark was the following: The skunk brought in a scent, the duck brought in a bill, the doe brought in a buck, and the frog brought in a green back.   



The Number 9 Represents Fruit

     Whenever you see the number 9 in the bible it represents fruit. Genesis 9:1 says Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. The Holy Spirit lists 9 fruit at Galatians 5:22 (5+2+2=9) that says But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance noted in two verses from Galatians 5:22-23 (2+2+2+3=9). And isn't it incredible that the 9th book of the new testament is Galatians. And isn't it interesting that women carry babies in their wombs for 9 months because 9 is a fruit bearing number. And isn't it amazing that Abraham was 99 when 90 year old Sarah bore fruit and the seed Isaac was born.

      Note these other blessed examples of how the number 9 represents fruitful blessings. The most fruitful king in Israel's history (David) is anointed king by Samuel in the book of 1 Samuel that is the ninth book of the bible. The most fruitful christian (Paul) gets born again in the ninth chapter of Acts. And America became a fruitful nation when 99 Pilgrims first saw Cape Cod, Massachusetts from the Mayflower (nine letters) on November 9, 1620 (Ninth Day) (In The Year 1+6+2+0=9).

     And how about this for the number 9. The King James 1611 Holy Bible is my momma and brought forth good fruit when Brother Bob got born again in 1982. 1 Peter 1:23 says Being born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. And when anyone preaches from a 1611 King James Bible they will bear fruit and win many souls to our Lord Jesus. Now notice that all the words about the 1611 KJV bible have 9 letters in them (King James has 9 letters, Holy Bible has 9 letters, Word Of God has 9 letters, and Scripture has 9 letters). And hallelujah if you add up 1611 you get 9. Truly the King James Bible represents the number 9 and bears much fruit when innumerable lost sinners become saved after they hear the KJV bible preached.

     Bill Grady from his book Given By Inspiration notes that the number 9 is the most fruitful blessed number when compared to numbers 1 through 8. Only the number 9 can result in the following blessed result. Try this blessed exercise with the number 9. Whenever you multiply 9 by any number up to infinity, the numbers in the sum will either total 9, or eventually add up to 9, a rather remarkable phenomenon, indeed. Thus we see that 9 x 3=27 (2+7=9); 9 x 7=63 (6+3=9); 9 x 475=4275 (4+2+7+5=18, and 1+8=9); 9 x 3547248=31925232; (3+1+9+2+5+2+3+2=27, and 2+7=9); ad infinitum (again and again in the same way forever). Now how's that for a mathematical blessing. 


The Number 10 Represents Gentiles

     Whenever you see the number 10 in the bible it represents Gentiles. The first mention about the word Gentiles occurs at Genesis 10:5. And in the new testament the door of salvation was opened to the Gentile Cornelius at Acts 10. Revelation 17:12 speaks about 10 Gentile kings that receive power with the antichrist. The scripture says And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 

     For most of history Gentiles (Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans) have ruled the world. For a short time though King David and the Jews ruled the world. Eventually though the Jews and Israel will again rise to power when King Jesus rules this earth with a rod of iron for 1000 blessed years. And how about this incredible revelation about 4+6=10. If we look at the meaning of these numbers above we see that man working with the world creates Gentile kings and rulers for most of this earth's history. 



The Number 11 Represents Judgment And Crisis

     Whenever you see the number 11 in the bible it represents judgment. In Genesis 11 Nimrod and his armies rebelled against God by building the tower of Babel. God judged Nimrod by confusing their language. And Jesus was 33 years old (3 11's) (judged for the sins of mankind) when He died for our sins on the cross of Calvary. 

     The number 11 also represents a crisis. In the parable of the workers in the vineyard at Matthew 20:7, we see an 11th hour crisis when the workers complained saying no man hath hired us. People call 911 (9+1+1=11) to report an emergency crisis. And the biggest crisis in American history occurred on September 11, 2001 (9/11/01) when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the Twin Towers (shaped like an 11) in New York City (note that New York City has 11 letters).
 

The Number 12 Represents Israel And The Jews

     Whenever you see the number 12 in the bible it represents Israel and the Jews. The first Jew mentioned in the bible (Abram) is at Genesis 12:1. All the following examples about the number 12 relate to Israel and the Jews. There are 12 tribes of Israel pictured above. The Jewish ritual called circumcision has 12 letters. There are 12 precious gemstones in the high priests breastplate. There are 12 cakes of shewbread. There were 12 spies sent to Canaan by Moses. Joshua placed 12 stones in the bed of Jordan for a memorial. Elijah built an altar of 12 stones. Jesus had 12 apostles. Jesus could have sent 12 legions of angels to stop the crucifixion. Jesus healed Jairus' daughter who was 12 years old. Finally during the tribulation there will be 144000 Jewish witnesses (12x12000).

     And note the following bible verse that proves that the number 12 represents Israel and the Jews. Matthew 19:28 says And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration (kingdom) when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit (the 12 apostles) upon 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.




The Number 13 Represents Rebellion And Sin

     Whenever you see the number 13 in the bible it represents rebellion. The first time the number 13 appears in a KJV bible it speaks about rebellion at Genesis 14:4 that says Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. Nimrod was the 13th person from Adam (Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Ham, Cush, and 13th Nimrod) who rebelled against God by building the tower of Babel. Genesis 10:8 says Cush (Ham's son) begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 

     And isn't it interesting that God is mentioned in the first 12 verses of Genesis 1 but mysteriously disappears off the pages of the bible at Genesis 1:13 that just says And the evening and the morning were the third day. And wow God reappears again at Genesis 1:14. Truly the number 13 leaves God out and represents rebellion. This is why most elevators in buildings skip Floor 13 and only have Floors 12 and 14. And it's also interesting that most airports have no 13th gate. People try to avoid the number 13 that represents rebellion and forgets God.

     And wow Judas Iscariot who rebelled and betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver has exactly 13 letters in his name. And isn't it amazing that Jesus spake exactly 13 words about Judas Isacariot at John 6:70 that says "Have not I chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil". And this bible verse says 12 and one that equals 13. And then look at the fact that Jesus spoke these words about Judas Iscariot at John 6:70 (6+7+0=13 again).

     Also note that the harlot's description at Revelation 17:5 has exactly 13 words that says MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And the word dragon occurs 13 times in the book of Revelation. The curse of the law is mentioned at Galatians 3:13. Satan shows up at Mark 1:13. 13 evils in the human heart are listed at Mark 7:21-22 that are evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. Finally there are 39 books in the old testament (13x3) and the last word of the old testament is curse.

     Bill Grady from his book Given by Inspiration notes that while about 85% of the thirteens in Scripture represent rebellion and refer to something bad, one can be a rebel for God. Paul was the ultimate rebel in the New Testament, being the thirteenth apostle, called in the thirteenth chapter of Acts, taking the leadership from Barnabas at Acts 13:13, who goes on to write 13 epistles, (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Philemon, and Titus), with 1 Corinthians 13:13 being the heart of his ministry. 

     Thirteen colonies rebelled against Great Britain to form the United States of America. One of America's earliest flags had thirteen stripes, thirteen stars, and thirteen letters (Don't Tread On Me). After the church is caught up in the rapture, a remnant of Tribulation saints will continue to be rebels for God, being rallied by those thirteen words in the thirteenth verse of the thirteenth chapter of the book of Hebrews: "Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach".

     And isn't it incredible that the first time the word sinner appears in a KJV bible at Genesis 13:13, it's speaking about sodomites (homosexuals and lesbians) who are wicked, rebellious, and exceedingly sinful. And it's amazing that Genesis 13:13 has exactly 13 words in the bible verse. Genesis 13:13 says "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly". This proves that God speaks through numbers to reveal hidden mysteries and revelations about the bible. Please note that I don't hate homosexuals and lesbians (I pray that they stop sinning and get saved with Jesus); I only speak out against the sin of homosexuality and lesbianism. According to Genesis 13:13 sodomy is not only sinful (it's exceedingly sinful) and must be avoided to be blessed with our Lord Jesus.


The Number 40 Represents Testing And Trials

     Whenever you see the number 40 in the bible it represents testing and trials. Note the following examples where God tested people in the bible with trials. It rained 40 days and 40 nights during the flood when Noah was on the ark; Moses was tested 40 years in Egypt, 40 years in the desert, and 40 years with Israel in the wilderness; The 12 spies spied the land of Canaan for 40 days; The reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon each lasted for 40 years; Goliath defied Israel for 40 days; Nineveh was given 40 days to repent; Elijah fasted 40 days and 40 nights; Jesus was tempted 40 days; Jesus appeared 11 times during 40 days after His resurrection (Acts 1:3). 

     All of the examples above about the number 40 show us that God was not hasty in His judgment and gave men ample time for a fair trial. And one final revelation about the number 40 minus one and the number 39. When Jesus was whipped with 39  stripes before His crucifixion it was because punishment by flogging or whipping was limited by law to 40 stripes save 1. Now the reason Jesus took 39 stripes was so that saints could rejoice daily and say By Jesus' stripes I am healed. Medical science has proven that there are 39 categories of every illness that ever existed. Look this up on google and you will see that there are 39 categories of sickness. Therefore the 39 stripes that Jesus took at the cross cover every type of sickness anyone could ever have and truly when we say daily I am crucified with Christ we can claim the promise that By Jesus' stripes I am healed (1 Peter 2:24 and Isaiah 53:5). Right now rejoice, say, and believe the promise of 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
