Significance of 153?

<< < (4/4)

When I was reading through this thread the word 'large' in John 21:11 struck me.  Ray always says pay attention to the words.  In greek according to e-sword, the word is megas.  This is the same word origin as in megabyte.  Anyway, it means large or great. 

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.

According to e-sword it is the same word used for great in the following verse:

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

I'm not quite sure what to glean out of these verses, but I think the word large is very important here.  It's not just fish it's large - great sized fish.  Perhaps these are the elect.
