Synopsis

Author: George M. Peacock

This book is for anyone who has wondered why, in the scriptures, everything seems to happen in forty years or forty days and why the Lord always seems to call on three witnesses. Aren't two enough?

George M. Peacock, who taught seminary and institute classes for nearly forty years, answers these and many other questions related to how and why numbers are used as symbols in the scriptures. He shows that numbers have messages that lend much to the accounts in which they are used.
