Significance of 153?
Redbird:
Alex,
I think everyone did a great job explaining this. :) Now when the net was cast on the right side of the boat, this time the net was not torn. Jesus says in John 10: 27-29
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
The symbology of the large fish is awesome! This was a wonderful question Alex, and it got me to think and study. Thanks.

Every one here has done a wonderful job of sharing what they see. Together we get the bigger picture!
Matt 18 : 20 For wherever (Cyb-er Space :D) two or three are gathered (drawn together as MY FOLLOWERS) in My Name, there I AM in the midst of THEM.
What came to my mind was another two things.
Firstly, Jesus HAD the fish on the fire ALREADY COOKING. HE has no need of us to fish. HE is THE FISHERMAN who can get fish without fishing! We do not choose Him, HE chooses us! Sovereignty of God!
The other thing is this, we have the tools to understanding the scriptures available on this site and we know that the Scriptures are not Literal and they are not to be understood unto their own interpretation but are to have a second witness to unlock their deeper mysteries kept for the eyes of mere children and not revealed to the high haughty minded leaders in Mystery Babyloln! ;D
We come to the truth as babes and we grow in the stature of humility as we are fed on HIS Awesome ways truths and life!
Peace to you

Cool Arcturus, thank you for pointing that out!! There is so much in this story and it has been a great study. I have learned something awesome everytime I come back to this thread.
Thank you Alex for starting this thread!
Mat 4:19
19 And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Joh 21:8
8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.
There's that word DRAGGING again: just as Christ DRAGS us to Him, the Elect will be co-workers with Christ DRAGGING the rest of the world to God's arms....
Joh 21:14
14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
There's that number 3 again:

This is merely a thought that came to me:
1 = God
5 = Grace
3 = Completed Process
Joh 21:6
(6) He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
Joh 21:11
(11) So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
(all men shall be saved...)
God's work of grace will be completed towards all men....there is room enough for everyone!
I have read some studies on what these numbers possibly mean individually so when I read this post this is what I saw. I could be completely off of course, but just going with my gut and posting it anyway in case anyone has seen the same thing....
Peace,
Diana
