Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
You know that all that is on facebook is true! Yeah, right. Fact check anything you find on facebook that states is going on in America. As Sgt. Friday used to say, "Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts"!
Okay, what about the number 3 in the Bible. I did a search and study on this in the past and think it is worth posting. So, here 'tis!
The meaning of the number 3. It is used 47 time in the Bible. It pictures completeness, not to the degree that 7 does, but it does. 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 this the righteous "fathers" Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel later).
There are 27 books in the New Testament, this is 3 x 3 x 3, or completeness to the third power.
Jesus prayed three time in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest. He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hours 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.
There were only three individuals who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration on Mount Hermon. Those who saw Jesus' glory on the mount were John, Peter, & James.
The apostle Paul was an exceptionally well educated person. In three different occasions he quotes directly from Greek poets (Acts 17:28, 1 Corinthians 15:33 and Titus 1:12). He also was privileged to visit the location of God's throne, which is in the third heaven. (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)
The three words that appear only once in Scripture are REVEREND (Psalms111:9) ETERNITY (Isaiah 57:15) and GRANDMOTHER (2 tIMOTHY 1:5). (King James version, others use synonyms)
Only three people were allowed to ask GOD ANYTHING. They were Solomon (1 Kings 3:5), Ahaz (Isaiah 7:11) and Jesus Christ (Psalm 2:9).
Three gifts given to Israel by GOD were: his law, land of their inheritance, and their calling (the world to come).
The Bible only mentions the name of three angels (Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer).
THREE IN PROPHECY
Next to seven, 3 is the most commonly found or referenced number in Revelaion. An ngel is charged to cry 3 WOEs 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).
MOST ABOUT BIBLICAL MEANING OF 3
God is described, in the very beginning of the book of Revelations as a Being:
"WHICH IS" "WHICH WAS" & "WHICH IS TO COME" (Revelation 1:4)
There are 3 great periods of God's annual Feast days of worship, the Spring festivals. Pentecost, Feast of Trumpet, Atonemen and Feast of Tabernacles.
Well, I hope you appreciated the information about the number 3 and that it means as much to you as it does to me. Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace,
Johnny
