INDUCTIVE BILE TOPIC STUDY
SCRIPTURE NUMERICS
By Dennis Schmidt 2/2007
RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE
This paper discusses the use of numbers in the Bible. The numbers have meanings. Greek & Hebrews letters are equal to
numbers also. The Triunity one Godhead
is shown through the numbers. All
scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.
INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:
THEME:
To teach the Christian
more about the Triunity Godhead. One represents a complete unit.
God is one. We are one in God. Man & wife are one. All of these are a
complete unit. Love fulfill the law is example of one object.
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O
Israel: The LORD our God <is> one LORD:"
Isaiah
11:1-2
"And there shall come forth
a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his
roots: {2} And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"
One Spirit, but at the same time a but seven fold Spirit everywhere at the same
time.
John 10:30
"I and <my> Father are one." One and two at the same
time and space.
John 17:22
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them; that they may be one, even as we are one:"
Ephesians 4:4-6 "<There
is> one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your calling; {5} One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
{6} One God and Father of all, who <is> above all, and through
all, and in you all."
PURPOSE: To teach the Christian more about the
Triunity Godhead.
Isaiah
11:1-2 "And there shall come forth a rod out
of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: {2}
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"
Isaiah 48:16 "Come ye near
unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
from the time that it was, there <am> I: and now the Lord GOD,
and his Spirit, hath sent me." Jesus is speaking. The Father
and Holy Spirit have sent Jesus. Presented is the united one God in His three
manifestations.
Isaiah 63:8-10 "For he
said, Surely they <are> my people,
children <that> will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
{9} In all their affliction he was afflicted,
and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he
redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. {10}
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:
therefore he was turned to be their enemy, <and> he fought
against them." The Father is calling them His children, who becomes
their enemy, and fights against them. Jesus is the angel who saved and redeemed
them. The Holy Spirit is vexed by them.
KEY VERSE:
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O
Israel: The LORD our God <is> one LORD:"
The Hebrew is within ( ): "our God" (Elohim)
is a plural word meaning our Gods; "one" (echad)
is a compound one shown also in one flesh in Genesis 2:24.
2
Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, <be>
with you all. Amen."
1
John 5:7 "
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word,
and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
WHO: God
mainly by Bible authors Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul
TO WHOM:
Elected Christians
WHAT: Number for God's Triunity.
Prominent
threefold statements are: tri-unity of God. three temptation of Christ; Peter's
three denials; Jesus arising on third day, Peter's three answers to Jesus three
statements of feed my sheep. Scripture also uses past, present & future as
in delivered, being delivered & will delivered. Three objectives is seen in
Jesus as prophet, priest & king. Likewise in faith, hope & love. Also
in nature the three forms of matter Solid, liquid and Gas; thee states of
matter Animal, Vegetable and Mineral.
The words Trinity and Triunity are not found in the Bible. However, the
Triunity theological doctrine or teaching is found in the Bible to support one
God, one essence, one being, one nature, and one divine Spirit who is
indivisible which manifests Himself eternally as Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit three distinct equal substances. The three manifestations always act
in unity and agreement, and they have an order of Father to Son to Holy Spirit.
They are not divided since there is a qualitative
unique oneness acting in three separate personalities. What is most
important is God can not be divided into three persons (as humans) which is not found in the Bible. If you see Jesus, you see the
entire Godhead bodily (see Colossians 2:9).
He is one God eternally always Father, Son, & Holy Spirit who shows Himself
in these three characteristic ways. God is seen in His creation as in Romans
1:19-20, but His unique oneness can not be compared to or
conceived by observing the created or nature order. His oneness is seen by His
word the Bible.
The Godhead should not be compared by earthly
element. Nonetheless, to try to explain
the Triunity to a Jewish person who thinks that Christians have multiple gods,
I am going to try comparing the Triunity (Single one compound God) to water in
its three states of gas (boiling), liquid, and solid (ice) at the same time and
same place. The water could be equated with the Triunity Godhead. The three
states of water could represent the Father (Liquid), Son (Ice), and Holy Spirit
(gas) who are manifested together eternally. The water could be a liquid form
in which heat is applied and its starts to boil emitting steam. These two
states of water exist together. A cube of ice could be dropped into liquid
which has the three states of water: liquid, gas, and solid in the same place
at the same time. The Godhead always (eternally) exists as Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit everywhere (Omnipresent) in the same time and same place.
Matthew
28:19 "Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
1
Corinthians 13:13 "And now abideth
faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these
<is> charity."
2
Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, <be>
with you all. Amen."

Timothy 1:2 To
Timothy, <my> dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, <and>
peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."

John 5:7 "
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word,
and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
WHY: To teach the Christian more about God. One represents a complete unit.
God is one. We are one in God. Man & wife are one. All of these are a
complete unit. Love fulfill the law is example of one object.
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O
Israel: The LORD our God <is> one LORD:"
John 10:30
"I and <my> Father are one."
Ephesians 4:4-6 "<There
is> one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your calling; {5} One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
{6} One God and Father of all, who <is> above all, and through
all, and in you all."
WAY:
Triunity Godhead of one God but three
at the same time in every place.
Isaiah
11:1-2 "And there shall come forth a rod out
of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: {2}
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"
Isaiah 48:16 "Come ye near unto
me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from
the time that it was, there <am> I: and now the Lord GOD,
and his Spirit, hath sent me." Jesus is speaking. The Father
and Holy Spirit have sent Jesus. Presented is the united one God in His three
manifestations.
Isaiah 63:8-10 "For he
said, Surely they <are> my people,
children <that> will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
{9} In all their affliction he was afflicted,
and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he
redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. {10}
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:
therefore he was turned to be their enemy, <and> he fought
against them." The Father is calling them His children, who becomes
their enemy, and fights against them. Jesus is the angel who saved and redeemed
them. The Holy Spirit is vexed by them.
John 17:22
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them; that they may be one, even as we are one:"

the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"
Isaiah 48:16 "Come ye near

yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that,
as they went, they
were cleansed. {15} And one of them, when he
saw that he was healed, turned
back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
Luke 19:13,
