NUMBER EIGHT (8-5)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) In the Bible the number 8, which comes after the number (7) which signifies completeness, symbolizes a new beginning, or a new order of things, a new creation, a new birth, and the resurrection to eternal life. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 8 can be found in the Bible.
1. What are the eight Old Testament songs NOT in the book of Psalms?
a) Eight songs in the Old Testament outside of the Psalms:
i) Redemption, Exodus 15.
ii) Supply and maintenance, Numbers 21:17.
iii) Moses witnessing to the grace of God and the unfaithfulness of man, Deuteronomy 32.
iv) Victory over oppression, Judges 5.
v) David, God's elect, delivered from all his foes, 2 Samuel 22.
vi) The Song of Songs.
vii) The song of the well-beloved touching Israel, God's vineyard, Isaiah 5.
viii) This (the eighth) waits to be sung when the resurrection occurs (Isaiah 26), for it does not come till after "death is swallowed up in victory,"
