NUMBER FIVE (5 - 4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) The number 5 is mentioned 318 times in the Bible. 5 is the number of GRACE. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 5 can be found in the Bible.
1. What book did Jesus use to resist the devil's temptations?
a) It was the fifth book that David's son and David's Lord used in His conflict with that great enemy of whom Goliath was the faintest type. It was only the Book of Deuteronomy which formed the one stone with which he defeated the Devil himself (compare Matthew 4:1-11 and Deuteronomy 8:3, 6:13,16). No wonder that this Book of Deuteronomy is the object of Satan's hatred. "No marvel" that today his ministers are transformed "as the ministers of righteousness" (2Corinthians 11:14,15), are engaged in the attempt to demolish this Book of Deuteronomy with their destructive criticism. But their labor is all in vain, for it is stamped with the number which marks the omnipotence of God's power and grace.
