NUMBER FORTY-TWO (42)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 42
a) Forty-two is a number with a direct connection to the coming Antichrist. His evil efforts will last 42 months in the end time, and thus forty-two is firmly associated with him (Revelation 11:1 - 2).
1. Then the angel gave me a measuring rod like a staff, saying, "Arise and measure the temple of God, and the altar . . . and they shall trample upon the holy city for forty-two months."
b) Revelation 13 states that the end time Beast power will be so powerful that NO ONE will be able to make war with him. He will speak great boastful things and be given the authority to do so for 42 months (Revelation 13:4 - 5). Forty-two is made up of 6 and 7, showing a link between mankind and God's spirit and a link between the Antichrist and Jesus Christ.
2. Appearances of the number forty-two
a) The phrase 'little children' appears forty-two times in the Old Testament.
b) The tribe of Levi was given 48 cities as part of their inheritance in the land of milk and honey. Six of these cities were to be designated as special 'cities of refuge' (Numbers 6 - 7) leaving forty-two other cities.
d) The children of Israel had 42 sojournings or wandering in the desert until they finally were given rest (Numbers 33:1 - 50).
e) When we substitute numerics for letters in Nimrod's name we find forty-two playing a role. Nimrod's name equates to 294, which is 42 x 7. Forty-two is often found as a factor in Anti-Christian names.
3. Elisha and 42
a) A group of young men (roughly 30 - 40 in age) began to make fun of the prophet Elisha after his friend and mention Elijah was taken away from him in a fiery chariot. They shouted 'Get out of here, you bald guy!' to Elisha as he passed them by. The prophet did not waste any time letting the young men know that what they were doing was unacceptable to God. He turned, stared at them and cursed them in God's name. Then two large female bears came out of the woods and tore to PIECES forty-two of the men (2Kings 2:24)!
4. Additional information on the Biblical Meaning of 42
a) In the genealogical table of Jesus Christ’s physical lineage in the book of Matthew, the Greek word gennao is used 42 times. Its correct translation is the word 'begat' because the lineage is through males who 'beget' a son.
