NUMBERS 5, 7, 8 & 16: AGAPE LOVE RELATIONSHIP

1. How do Numbers 5, 7, 8 & 16 in relation to Number 975 come about?

a) The Friday (08/08/2014) night @11.50 pm that the Lord clearly showed me Number 975 even revealed some awesome numbers represented below:

8th August (08/08) = 8 + 8 = Double 8 = Number 16.

2014 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = Number 7.

Friday = Number 5.

@11.50 pm = 1 + 1 + 5 + 0 = Number 7.

Revealed Number 975 has 2 sets of numbers:

9 + 7 = Number 16 and

5 = simply Number 5.

b) So, we have Double 5, Double 7, Double 8 and Double 16.

2. What do all these Numbers 5, 7, 8 and 16 mean?

a) Number 5

i) The number 5 symbolizes God's grace, goodness and favor toward humans and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is 'grace upon grace' (John 1:16). The Ten Commandments contains two sets of 5 commandments. The first five commandments are related to our treatment and relationship with God, and the last five concern our relationship with others humans.
  
b) Number 7 

i) Used 735 times (54 times in the book of Revelation alone), the number 7 is the foundation of God's word. If we include with this count how many times 'sevenfold' (6) and 'seventh' (119) is used, our total jumps to 860 references.

ii) Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God’s creation of all things. According to Jewish tradition, the creation of Adam occurred on October 7th, 3761 B.C. (or the first day of Tishri, which is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar). The word 'created' is used 7 times describing God’s creative work (Genesis 1:1, 21, 27 three times; 2:3; 2:4). There are 7 days in a week and God's Sabbath is on the 7th day.

iii) The Bible, as a whole, was originally divided into 7 major divisions. They are 1) the Law; 2) the Prophets; 3) the Writings, or Psalms; 4) the Gospels and Acts; 5) the General Epistles; 6) the Epistles of Paul; and 7) the book of Revelation. The total number of originally inspired books was forty-nine, or 7 x 7, demonstrating the absolute perfection of the Word of God.

c) Number 8

i) The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man's true 'born again' event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life. 

d) Number 16

i) The number sixteen is symbolic of love and loving. Christians are to become perfected in God's love not just by physically obeying the Commandments (which should be done anyway) but also by following the full spiritual INTENT of our Creator's laws and judgments (Matthew 22:37 - 40). This duality of true love is represented by 8 + 8 = 16.

ii) In the Old Testament, 16 of the various names and titles for God specially signify His constant, never-ending love for the children of Israel.

3. What is God saying regarding all these numbers? What is the main theme for these numbers? 

a) God is saying that we ought to love one another so that the world will know that we are the children of God. We do it simply because of God's grace in our lives. As we begin anew in this kind of AGAPE LOVE relationship, we will see the completion and perfection of our spiritual relationship in God as well as our physical relationship with others around us.

b) The main theme is "BUILDING AGAPE LOVE RELATIONSHIP."
