Synopsis

Number In Scripture: Its Supernatural Design And Spiritual Significance is a book written by E. W. Bullinger that explores the significance of numbers in the Bible. The book delves into the idea that numbers in the Bible are not just random, but rather have a specific meaning and purpose. Bullinger argues that the use of numbers in the Bible is part of a supernatural design and that each number has a spiritual significance. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the significance of the number seven, the use of numbers in prophecy, and the symbolism of numbers in the book of Revelation. Additionally, Bullinger provides numerous examples from the Bible to support his arguments, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of biblical numerology.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1894 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Many writers, from the earliest of times, have called attention to the importance of the great subject of Number in Scripture. It has been dealt with, for the most part, in a fragmentary way. One has dealt with some particular number, such as "seven"; another has been content with a view of the primary numbers, and even when defining their significance, has given only one or two examples by way of illustration; another has confined himself to "symbolical numbers," such as 10, 40, 666, etc.; another has taken up such symbolical numbers in their relation to chronology or to prophecy; another has collected examples, but has dealt little with their meaning...

It is too much to hope that the present work should be free from these defects, which are inseparable from human infirmity. From one point of view it is a subject which must prove disappointing, at any rate to the author, for illustrations are continually being discovered; and yet, from another point of view, it would be blasphemy to suppose that such a work could be complete; for it would assume that the wonders of this mine could be exhuasted, and that its treasures could be all explored!

I must, therefore, be content with the setting forth of general principles, and with giving a few examples from God's Word which illustrate them, leaving others to extend the application of these principles and search out illustrations of them for themselves.
