WATCH OUT!
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. How does NUMBER 108 come about?
a) On 24/05/2015 (Sunday), the Lord vividly showed me NUMBER 108 at 11.44 am during worship. As I was pondering the NUMBER 108, the Lord showed me what this number represents.
2. What does this number represent?
a) Number 108 = 1 + 0 + 8 = NUMBER 9.
b) Day: 24th of May 2015
i) 24th simply represents the date 24. However, He intervened by showing me a more significant NUMBER 25. Watch out for 24 and 25.
c) Time: 11.44 am
i) 11 = Double 1 simply represents certainty or sure to happen.
ii) 44 = 4 + 4 + 1 (see item c) = NUMBER 9.
d) From here, we have a significant NUMBER 9.
3. What is the meaning for this number?
a) NUMBER 9
i) Used 49 times in Scripture, the number 9 symbolizes divine completeness or conveys the meaning of finality. Christ died at the 9th hour of the day, or 3 p.m., to make the way of salvation open to everyone. The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the only one of God's annual Feast days of worship that requires believers to fast for one day. This special day, considered by many Jews to be the holiest of the year, begins at sunset on the 9th day of the seventh Hebrew month (Leviticus 23:32).
ii) Nine also represents the fruits of God's Holy Spirit, which are Faithfulness, Gentleness, Goodness, Joy, Kindness, Long suffering, Love, Peace and Self-control (Galatians 5:22 - 23).
iii) In the Old Testament there are at least nine groups or individuals who practiced sorcery. Although modern culture and entertainment tends to paint those who practice such 'arts' in a benign or even positive light (e.g. stories and movies directed at children), the motives of Old Testament sorcerers was evil to the core.
@1. God promised to punish the Egyptians and to destroy the counsels of their charmers, conjurers, magicians and those who cast spells (Isaiah 19:3,11 - 12).
@2. Egypt's Pharaoh called upon his sorcerers and magicians to confront the miracles God was doing through Moses and Aaron (Exodus 7:11, 22; 8:7,18).
@3.Balak employs the services of Balaam, who is a well-known soothsayer, to curse the newly freed Israelites (Numbers 22, 23).
@4. Jezebel, the wife of Israel's evil King Ahab, used witchcraft and the evil arts to get her way (2Kings 9:22).
@5. God promised to punish Nineveh for enticing a number of their neighbors like a "mistress of witchcrafts" to indulge in idolatrous practices (Nahum 3).
@6. The Babylonians were well-known for using the services of magicians, astrologers and sorcerers (Isaiah 47:9 - 13, Daniel 2:2,10, 27).
@7. Belshazzar called upon his astrologers and wise men to interpret the "handwriting on the wall" done by the finger of God (Daniel 5:7,15).
@8. God warns his people not to be troubled by "the signs of heaven" as the pagans are with their astrologers (Jeremiah 10:2, Micah 3:6 - 7).
@9. False prophets use divination to deceive others into thinking that they are speaking for God (Jeremiah 14:14, 27:9, Ezekiel 13:6 - 9).
4. What is God saying regarding this number? What is the main theme for this number?
a) God is saying that we ought to take heed of this revealed number 9. It specifically warns about seeking the counsels of charmers, conjurers, magicians and those who cast spells, sorcerers, soothsayer, persons using witchcraft and the evil arts, astrologers and persons using divination.
