NUMBER THIRTEEN (13-2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) The number thirteen is associated with rebellion and depravity and is used fifteen times in the Bible. All the names of Satan are divisible by thirteen. Nimrod, the chief rebel after the flood, was the thirteenth in the line of Ham. In their thirteenth year of servitude, the kings of the nations rebelled (Genesis 14:4). Twelve represents the government of God and thirteen represents the governments of men in rebellion against God. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 13 can be found in the Bible.

1. The destruction of Jericho and 13

a) The destruction of Jericho is stamped with the number thirteen, though not by gematria, for the city was compassed once each day for six days, and seven times on the seventh day, making 13 times in all (6+7).
