Hi, folks
Just wanted to put my thoughts up for grabs.
Everyone's post on this subject is a very interesting thought. I would like to share mine and Paula's with you. Any time Paula and I see the numbers 0 through 9 in triplicate it is always worthy for us to say, "thank you, Father". It seems like a reminder for us to keep him on our minds throughout the days and nights. This is what the numbers mean to me and what the remind me of when I see them. But for some reason the number 111 or 1111 shows up more than all the others together (even during the night the clocks in the house shout them out to us ). We never say Amen because we're never through - we just thank Him for our many bounties and each breath we take.
When I see the ace, it reminds me there is but one God - the numeral one is used 1,497 times in the scriptures.
When I see the two,it reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts - the Old and New Testament
When I see the three, it reminds me of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
When I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the Gospel - Matthew, Mark, Luke & John; and I see the four weeks in each month.
When I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps. There were ten of them; five were wise and were saved. Five were foolish and were shut out.
And when I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this graet heaven and earth.
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from his great work. And also Jesus bled from seven different areas on his body while on the cross. His head from the thorns, his back from the flagellum, his hands bled from the nails that held him to the tree, his side bled where they pierced his side with a sword, his feet bled when the spike pinned him through the feet to the cross of Calvary. Seven times perfection - that is what it means to me.
When I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons God saved when he destroyed the earth - there was Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives.
When I see the nine, I thing of the lepers our Saviour cleansed and nine out of the ten didn't even thank him.
And when I see the ten, I think of the Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.
When I see the number 365 I think of the number of days in the year.
When I see the number 52 I think of the number of weeks in the year.
And when I see the number 13 I think of the number of weeks in a quarter.
So, you see, my forum friends, all the numbers can mean different things to different people. But I believe that all those that pray when they see "1" or any combination thereof, then that number means the same to all people.
In Christ's name, Paula and I love all people who will let us.
