•Quick review on symbolism in the bible

• Numbers (or mathematical figures) are never used promiscuously in the Bible, but rather take on spiritual meaning and significance; and for the searcher after truth there is found "the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Proverbs 25:2).

• All creation is stamped with the "Seal of God" in numerics. God has made man himself a creature of time and therefore, a creature of number. Therefore, it is consistent with the very nature and being of God that His Book, the Holy Bible, should be stamped with this same "Seal" - Biblical numerics.

• God is consistent throughout His Book, and though the Bible was written by various men of God over different periods of time and generations, there is manifest throughout all the Bible, the same marvelous meaning and harmony in the use of numbers. This begins in Genesis and flows through each book and consummates in Revelation.

• All this confirms the fact of Divine Inspiration (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21). The simple numbers of 1 through 13 have spiritual significanceMultiples of these numbers, or doubling and tripling, carry basically the same meaning only intensifying the truth. It is important to note that the first use of a number in scripture generally conveys its spiritual meaning throughout the rest of the passage.

• 30. Is the Bible still the best-selling book in the world?Yes, indeed!

John wycliff 1• Death : december 30 ,1384• John was the most famous priest of his day. His learning

was immense. He had been a leading scholar at Oxford and a chaplain to the King of England.

• More to the point, he spoke out boldly against the errors of the popes, the organizational hierarchy of the Roman Church, and the corruption of the clergy in his day. He criticized not only the organization of the medieval church but its theology as well and argued for a return to the Scriptures.

• Pastors should live lives of simplicity and holiness, he taught, shepherding their flocks (people)--not plundering them.

John wycliff 2• If the people in England were to know the truth, John

reasoned that they must have the Word of God in their own language.

• Under his direction, the Bible was translated into English for the first time, although the job was not completed by his associates until 1395, eleven years after his death.

• Repeatedly condemned and burned by church authorities, copies of Wycliffe's Bible continued in use for over a century, until printed Bibles took their place.

• This work greatly influenced William Tyndale who made the first printed translation of the New Testament in English.

John wycliff 3• John Wycliffe died of his stroke on the last day of the year. The

religious authorities had never excommunicated him because they feared public opinion--the people loved John and his fame was international.

• So he was buried in consecrated soil. • But about thirty years later, the Council of Constance revenged

itself on his criticism by condemning his teachings and ordering his bones to be dug up and burned.

• But the burning of such a man's bones could not end his influence. As John Foxe said in his book of martyrs,

• "though they digged [dug] up his body, burnt his bones, and drowned his ashes, yet the Word of God and the truth of his doctrine, with the fruit and success thereof, they could not burn;

• which yet to this day...doth remain."

Take home point- thank for it • Know the following points of the Bible in hand• time • Energy • Sacrifice • Single eye focus• Martyrdom • Bloodshed • Insurmountable obstacles against the tides

• Since God is consistent, the meaning of a number in the book of Genesis remains the same all the way to the book of Revelation. Sometimes the spiritual significance of a number is not always stated; it may be hidden or seen by comparison with other scriptures.

• Finally, since there is good and evil as well as true and counterfeit, both Godly and Satanic aspects can be seen in numbers.

• Colors In apocalyptic literature, color plays an important role in conveying symbolic meanings. For example, the colors blue, purple, and scarlet played prominent roles in the building of the wilderness tabernacle (Exodus 26:1; 27;16; 28:6). In Numbers 15:37-38, "The LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue'." The woman that John sees in the wilderness, however, sits on a scarlet beast and only wears purple and scarlet (Revelation 17:3-4) while the color blue is noticeably absent. Here purple and scarlet suggest that the woman has become affluent through evil means and not by the blessing of the Lord.

Below is a list of all the colors mentioned in the Bible with both their references and their meanings.

Color Meaning

Amber Symbolizes the Glory of God

Black One of the more commonly used colors in the Bible; describes the color of the middle of the night (Proverbs 7:9); diseased skin (Job 30:30); healthy hair (Song of Solomon 5:11; Matthew 5:36); corpes' faces (Lamentations 4:8); the sky (Jeremiah 4:28); the darkening of the sun and the moon (Joel 2:10); horses (Zechariah 6:2; Revelation 6:5); and marble (Esther 1:6).

The color black symbolizes sin, death, and famine.

Blue Used to describe the color of a wound, but may refer to the wound itself (Proverbs 20:30). It also describes the sky, Heaven, and the Holy Spirit.

Brown A dark, blackish color referred only to sheep (Genesis 30:32-33, 35, 40).

Crimson Crimson linen was used in the temple (II Chronicles 2:7, 14, 3:14); the color must have been indelible or permanet (Jeremiah 4:30), as crimson is used figuratively as sin. (Isaiah 1:18).

Often refers to blood atonement and sacrifice.

Gold As gold is the highest, most precious metal, so the divine nature is the highest nature, the only nature having immortality (Exodus 28:36; Psalm 21:3).

A word meaning "greenish" describes plague spots (Leviticus 13:49, 14:37) as well as the color of gold.

Most often associated with the meaning of growth.

Purple The most precious of ancient dyes made from a shellfish found in the Mediterranean Sea. A total of 250,000 mollusks was required to make one ounce of the dye, which partly accounts for its great price. It was highly valued within the nation of Israel.

Used in several features of the tabernacle (Exodus 26:1, 27:16) and the temple (II Chronicles 2:14); the color of royal robes (Judges 8:26); the garments of the wealthy (Proverbs 31:22; Luke 16:19); the vesture of a harlot (Revelation 17:4); and the robe placed on Jesus (Mark 15:17, 20).

The color of blood, it often symbolizes life; it also suggests bloodshed in the carnage of war.

Scarlet Scarlet cord was tied around the wrist of Zerah (Genesis 38:28-30); used a great deal in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:4); the color of cord hung from Rahab's window (Joshua 2:18); a mark of prosperity (II Samuel 1:24; Proverbs 31:21); the color of the robe placed on Jesus (Matthew 27:28); though scarlet and purple were not always distinguished (Mark 15:17); color of the beast ridden by the harlot Babylon (Revelation 17:3) along with some of her garments (Revelation 17:4) and those of her followers (Revelation 18:16).
