Meanings of Bible Numbers

by Eighth Day Assembly

Note: Please be aware that the meaning of biblical numbers can represent both the positive and the negative aspects of that particular number. Example: the number 2 can represent both the elect OR the mother of harlots, union OR division depending upon the focus of the text!

1 Unity, Independence, The Point, The Head (Male)

2 The Woman, the Church, the Elect, Union, Division, Separation, Jezebel, the mother of harlots (Female)

3 Union, Approval, Approbation, Coordination, Perfection, Resurrection, the Triangle or Tri-unity, the mystery of God, meaning the Union of the 1 + 2 (good or bad)

4 Earth, World, Creation, Foursquare, Place, Space, Reality, Dimension

5 God's Grace, Peace, Protection, Covering (enemy uses this number as Law - peace, protection & security through enforcement of Law), also refers to an Age or Season in Time

6 Number of Man, Weakness of Man, Inventions of Man

7 Fulness, Completeness, Innumerable (the "series is complete in 7")

8 Resurrection, New Beginnings, New Birth, Christ, The Word

9 Judgment, Finality, End, End of an Age or Era, The Physical Manifestation of the Fruit of the Understanding (good or bad), Tribulation (birthing of the fruit)

10 Testimony, Law, Responsibility Number used representing man under "the Law" accuser uses this number to accuse man

11 Positive Meaning of the Number 11:

The same as the number 2 (11 = 1 + 1 = 2), but only as in a WITNESS they are KEEPERS of something.....The Woman, The Torah (as the keeper, or body of the Word under Law), and The Elect (as the keepers of the Word or Body of Christ - the Bride) and as such, a Witness (see also the number 22 (11 + 11) as the DOUBLE WITNESS). Also, the 2 witnesses in:

Revelation 11:3

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Note the above is revealed in Revelation " 11 " and refers to " 2 " witnesses as the keepers or body of a certain message! This is no coincidence! The world is looking for the manifestation of 2 literal MEN (possibly Moses & Elijah) as the 2 witnesses in Revelation 11. Nowhere does it say these 2 are men. In fact, biblical numerics reveals these 2 are not men at all, rather, females in the symbolic sense who bear in themselves the witness, or ORACLES of God! Scripture tells us there ARE, indeed, two women who bear in themselves as the witness of God they are Judaism (House of Judah - witness of the Torah - law), and Christianity (House of Israel - witness of the Messiah - grace)! Both are female. I am certain this is why we see the chapter on the unity of Judaism and Christianity in Romans chapter " 11 ".

As Eddie Chumney stated in his wonderful book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel," God's Power Twins: Torah (Judaism) and Grace (Christianity), which symbolically are the 2 candles lit by the woman of the house on the Jewish Sabbath!

11 Negative Meaning of the Number 11 (1 + 1 = 2) Jezebel, The Whore of Babylon (as the keeper, body, or witness of "strange doctrines"), also: Judgment and Disorder

Ed. F. Vallowe, from his book, "Biblical Mathematics, Keys to Scripture Numerics, How to Count the Bible,"

The number ELEVEN is associated usually with DISORDER AND JUDGMENT all through the Bible. ELEVEN is one more than TEN. Number TEN represents the law and RESPONSIBILITY. A broken Law and Responsibility always brings JUDGMENT and DISORDER. This number ELEVEN is used 24 times in the Word of God.

There were ELEVEN JUDGMENTS upon the Egyptians. Those are as follows:

1. The plague of Blood. (Ex. 7:19-21)

2. The plague of Frogs. (Ex. 8:1-7)

3. The plague of Lice. ( Ex. 8:16-17)

4. The plague of Flies. (Ex. 21-24)

5. The plague of Murrain. (Ex. 9:1-7)

6. The plague of Boils. (Ex. 9:8-11)

7. The plague of Hail. (Ex. 9:22-25)

8. The plague of Locusts. (Ex. 10:12-25)

9. The plague of Darkness. (Ex. 10-21-23)

10. The plague of First-born. (Ex. 12:29-30)

11. The overthrow at the Red Sea. (Ex. 14:24-28)

Israel was delivered from the JUDGMENT that fell upon the first-born of the Egyptians by the blood of the Passover lamb. That was the TENTH JUDGMENT. TEN represents the LAW, the TESTIMONY. This pictures deliverance from the condemnation of the LAW when faith is exercised in the blood of Christ. This represents the salvation of the soul. But after the soul is saved there is still the question of security. This is pictured by the protection of the Israelites from the Egyptian army by the pillar of cloud and fire which stood between them.

"The angel of God which went before the camp of Israel removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went before their face; and stood behind them: and it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel: and it was a cloud of darkness to them: but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night." (Ex.14:19-20)

This shows a picture of the eternal security of God's children. Among the seventeen things that Paul said should not separate God's children from his love he mentions principalities and powers.

In addition to the salvation of the soul and its eternal security there is the salvation of the body, which will take place at the resurrection of the body. This was pictured by Israel's passage of the Red Sea. It was here that the ELEVENTH judgment upon Canaan, a son of Ham, because Ham saw his father's nakedness when he was uncovered in his tent. Noah said,

"Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he be unto his brethren." (Gen. 9:20-25)

In Genesis 10:15-18 it says that Canaan had ELEVEN sons.

"And Canaan begat (1) Sidon his first-born, and (2) Heth, and the (3) Jubusite, and the (4) Amorite, and the (5) Girgasite, and the (6) Hivite, and the (7) Arkite, and the (8) Sinite, and the (9) Arvadite, and the (10) Zemarite, and the (11) Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad."

This should answer those who claim that God had nothing to do with the curse pronounced upon Canaan.

In Jeremiah 52:1 it is said that Zedekiah reigned ELEVEN years in Jerusalem. He was a wicked king.

"And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord." (verse 2) In Verse 5 Jerusalem was besieged by the king of Babylon until the ELEVENTH year of Zedekiah's reign. Then Zedekiah was captured and taken to Babylon, and JUDGMENT.

At Kadesh, sometimes called Kadesh-Barnea, the children of Israel brought JUDGMENT upon themselves by refusing to go up and possess the promised land after the twelve spies had returned. They were condemned to wander in the wilderness until forty years were over, and until all who were 20 years old and upward when they had been numbered had died, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. (Numbers 13:25 to 14:31). Now read Deuteronomy 1:2:

"There are ELEVEN days journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir unto Kadesh-Barnea."

Those ELEVEN day's journey brought them to the place where JUDGMENT was passed upon them. The country of Sinai is often called Horeb. (Deut. 5:2-27 and Exodus 19:1 to 20:19). At Horeb, or Sinai is where the LAW, represented by the number TEN, was given. ELEVEN is one more than TEN. How fitting it is that the number ELEVEN should be found right after Horeb, and that those ELEVEN days brought Israel to a place of JUDGMENT. Was this a mere coincidence? Surely not! It was so designed by the ONE who inspired the Scriptures to show us the connection between the Law and Judgment. A broken LAW always brings JUDGMENT.

There were ELEVEN things that John saw in connection with the JUDGMENT at the Great White Throne. He saw (1) a great white throne; (2) Him that sat upon the throne; (3) the dead, small and great, stand before God; and (4) the books were opened, and (5) another book, which was the book of life; and (6) the dead were judged out of the things written in the books; and (7) the sea gave up its dead; and (8) death and hell delivered up their dead; and (9) these were judged, every man, according to their works; (10) he saw death and hell cast into the lake of fire whose names were not found written in the book of life. (Revelation 20:11-15)

Let the reader read the passage referred to and see if these things are not listed correctly. Since John said, "They were JUDGED every man according to their works", in two places, the writer counted them and found ELEVEN things. (Read Revelation 20:12-13.) There was a reason for this repetition. It was perhaps to let us know that in this JUDGMENT the subjects will be those who are dead both spiritually and also physically, before being raised. This is the last JUDGMENT.

When the Bible talks about ELEVEN disciples, it means one has fallen away, JUDGMENT has fallen and one is under judgment.

It would be well for the reader to study the 24 times this number is used in the Bible."

12 Governmental Rule of "King AND Queen" (1 + 2 = 3), the Triangle - The Mystery, Governmental Perfection by Divine Authority, also the 11 + 1 = 12 (two witnesses unified in one Christ - the "other two on one side of the bank of the river and on the other side of the bank of the river in Daniel 12:5" ?)

13 According to authors Bullinger & Vallowe, the number 13 represents Depravity & Rebellion (1 + 3 = 4). However, in Judaism the number 13 is the number for LOVE this may be true in that the "Love" chapter in the New Testament is 1 Corinthians chapter "13," and with Jesus and His disciples there would have been 13! Because of 1 Cor. 13, and the number of Jesus & His apostles, I am inclined to agree with Judaism that the number 13 is the number for Love. As stated above, a number has both a positive aspect and a negative aspect. In this case, the positive aspect of the number 13 is LOVE, and the negative aspect is LACK OF LOVE, or Depravity & Rebellion!

14 Deliverance or Salvation (1 + 4 = 5)

15 Rest (1 + 5 = 6)

16 Love (1 + 6 = 7)

17 Victory (1 + 7 = 8)

18 Bondage (1 + 8 = 9)

19 Faith (1 + 9 = 10 = 1) The Fruit (9) of Unity (1) = 10 note: this "10" is the opposite of the number 10, above

20 Redemption (2 + 0 = 2) of Mankind

21 Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin (the "turned" 1 + 2), Counterfeit Triangle (2 + 1 = 3)

22 Manifestation of Light, (is a DOUBLE WITNESS 2 WITNESSES, connected to the "11" above, as a double 11)

TWENTY TWO is the number that is connected with LIGHT. There were TWENTY-TWO bowls to hold oil in the candlestick in the Tabernacle. There were THREE branches on each side of the shaft of the candlestick. Each branch had three bowls. This makes six branches, with EIGHTEEN bowls. In the candlestick itself (the shaft) were FOUR bowls. (Exodus 25:31-34) This is a total of TWENTY-TWO bowls serving the SEVEN lamps. The purpose of the candlestick with its lamps was to give light.

In Matthew 5:15-16 Jesus said,

"Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and it giveth Light to all in the house. Let your LIGHT so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The saved are called the children of LIGHT. "Ye are all children of the LIGHT." (I Thess. 5:5) When FOURTEEN for salvation is added to EIGHT for the New Birth, the sum is TWENTY-TWO, Light.

In Acts 22:4-11, Paul was relating his experience on the Damascus road, He told about the great light that shone from heaven. He said he heard a voice saying unto him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" In this place the name of Saul occurs the TWENTY-SECOND time.

In Numbers 3:39 a total of 22,000 Levites were numbered to serve in the Priestly work of the Tabernacle. They were to give and minister LIGHT to the people. The number THOUSAND means the "Glory of our Lord" and TWENTY-TWO is the number of LIGHT. Thus, the number 22,000 Levites were to reveal to the people the LIGHT of the GLORY OF THE LORD. How can anyone deny the inspiration of the Scriptures?

The word LIGHT is found 264 times in the Bible which divided by TWELVE, the number of ADMINISTRATION, we have the number of LIGHT. In other words, we are to ADMINISTER the LIGHT of the World to the hearts of people. In the Gospel of John the word LIGHT is used TWENTY-TWO times. Amazing isn't it?

Note from Eighth Day Assembly: The Hebrew Aleph-Bet has 22 letters! The Jews believe the letters of the alphabet are the "building blocks" of creation, each letter a "spark" of LIGHT! Coincidence? I think not!

23 Death (2 + 3 = 5), the opposite or "turned" of the "32," below

24 The Priesthood (2 + 4 = 6)

38 Slavery (3 + 8 = 11 = 2)

39 Disease (3 + 9 = 12 = 3)

40 Period of Probation, Testing, Trial

42 First Coming and Second Appearing of Christ. The First Coming - 42 generations from Abraham, Galatians 4:4 "When the fulness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Law" - the 4 is "creation", the 2 is "woman", 4 + 2 = 6, 6 is the "Man" Jesus Christ.

43/430 * same as 430 Diving and separating, separation from sin, other side, a dividing. Jews were in Egypt 430 years. Genesis 11:17 Eber (probable source of the word "Hebrew" opposite or other side Jordan) lived 430 years after he begat Peleg (a division). To divide and separate from the sin nature.

129/1290 * Bread, Shewbread, Kohath, Voice, and anything related to bread, cakes, leaven, teaching; is also 1290, referring to the 1290 days in Daniel 12:11-12! 129/1290 is a number that "cooperates" with 1335! the ....abomination that maketh desolate is actually speaking of false doctrine, false bread being set up on the table of shewbread WITHIN OUR OWN TEMPLE ! We are the temple......

Daniel 12:11-12

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

144 Walk of the Spirit Guided Life demonstrating the Fruit (9) of the Spirit (1 + 4 + 4 = 9)

153 Fruit Bearing (1 + 5 + 3 = 9), also represents fish as thoughts and ideas

200 Insufficiency

424 Generations or Human DNA code ACTG (ACTG from Hebrew Aleph-Bet are 4 + 2 + 4 = 10), look at this: Galatians 4:4 "But when the fulness of the time was come (4 = time, creation), God sent forth his Son (as human flesh = DNA), made of a woman (2 = woman), made under the law (law =10)," all the numbers of the human DNA are in this verse in Galatians 4:4. This number is also connected with the number 42.

430 * same as 43 Separation from sin, other side, a dividing. Jews were in Egypt 430 years. Genesis 11:17 Eber (probable source of the word "Hebrew" opposite or other side Jordan) lived 430 years after he begat Peleg (a division). To divide and separate from the sin nature.

590 * same as 59 Truth, Menorah and its lamps (light/darkness), 7 branched candlestick, Jesus/disciples, Branch, Vine, Tree, things hidden that are now revealed by the light, manifest Menorah is positioned opposite the table of shewbread in the Temple.

We are the temple ...

Daniel 12:11-12

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

The sacrifice was taken away by the blood of Jesus Christ shed once for all as the sacrifice for sin! The 1290 days are actually the end time prolifetation of false doctrine! The 1290 days of the church is well underway! Age of atonement!

1335 * Doctrine (true or false), Influence; refers to the 1335 days spoken of in Daniel 12:11-12! 1335 is a number that "cooperates" with 1290 or 129 and generally accompanies it! Believers who are aware of the 1290 days of the church are to wait in order to be blessed!

1656 * The seed, identity, having to do with genealogy, the Fathers, bosom of Abraham, also has to do with the negative side: things of the flesh, lusts, fall, dragon, beasts, all men Dr. Luther Williams, theocodes@juno.com .
