(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.

b) It is the number stamped upon the Old Testament, the numbers of its books in all the manuscripts being 24 (3x8).
 
c) In the book which relates to His great Apocalypse or Revelation, there are in the introduction which sets forth the glory of the Lord, to be revealed in the day of the Lord, eight references to the Old Testament on which the claims of His Lordship are based.
