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.
PURPOSE: To teach the Christian more about the Triunity Godhead.
KEY VERSE:
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
WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul
TO WHOM: Elected Christians
WHAT: Number for God's Triunity.
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
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.
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.
WAY: Triunity Godhead of one God but three at the same time in every place.
WHEREAS: Two people form a union of one as shown in the Triunity Godhead of one God but three at the same time.
WHERE:
Everywhere in the universe including in hell, heaven, and earth.
WHEN: Triunity Godhead of one God but three at the same time.

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.
II) TWO UNION: The
union of marriage or separation & division into two.
Two
is both a union & division such as spies into two groups or two brothers as
Cain and Abel from one family. Also the opposite is true that the two are made
into one as in wife and husband.

WITHIN: Number for God's Triunity.
Prominent
threefold statement is: Triunity of God; three temptation of Christ; Peter's

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

fourfold statements are: Four gospels about Jesus with

elevation & farsightedness and son of God. Angels or cherubim have four
view-points. Also in nature we see four forms in seasons: winter, spring,
summer & autumn or directions such as north, east, south & west.
V) FIVE ABILITIES: Both weakness
(needing five) & sources (do job).

the many scriptures related to those numbers. God has reveal
what some numbers mean, and for others we must wait for more revelation from
the Lord Jesus Christ.
