Biblical Numeric Keys: Interpreting Numbers in Scripture

God does things by the numbers. He knows the number of hairs on your head and the number who will be saved. He sets dimensions, durations, designs, definitions, and destinations. He numbered six (6) days for his work of Creation, then he sanctified the seventh for mankind. The numeric 7 has ever since been used as the number symbolizing "perfect" in the eyes of heaven and of those things expressing the actions of God.

Throughout the scriptures, God has communicated through numbers, which are both symbolic and literal counts. The message in a scriptural text is often as much, or even more, within the symbolism of the associated numbers as it is within the words or actions depicted. The numbers often help explain or even interpret a written text.

In this book are the most likely symbolic revelations to be associated with forty numbers, including 153, 666, 1290, and 1345. It will help you appreciate the depth of messages conveyed throughout God's Word.
