NUMEROLOGY: THE NUMBER SIX (6)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Numerology
a) Numerology is what Bible scholars believe is the placing of meaning on numbers in the Scriptures. There is said to be numerical values in the numbers in the Pentateuch or what is known as the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.
b) Numerology is by no means restricted to the Old Testament but is said to be found throughout the Bible – from Genesis to Exodus.
c) Numerology attempts to explain the meaning of these numbers to see what God may be telling us by using them and the interpretation of them relating to the Scriptures or verses where they found.
d) Examples are the numbers three, six, seven, and ten, but there are more. Numbers are thought to be symbolic of the sovereignty of God and so let‘s take a look at certain numbers and their meanings.
2. The Number Six (6)
a) The number six can be seen as representative of mankind since humans were created on the sixth day (Genesis 1:31). Mankind was commanded to work for six days that were given in the Fourth Commandment.
b) The number six is also seen as a number of imperfection since man was created on it, six days is an imperfect week, and the perfect evil can be seen in the number of man, 666 (Revelation 13:18), a sort of unholy trinity.
c) There were six cities of refuge given to the Levites for those who killed or caused great harm accidentally to others; these were places for them to take refuge (Numbers 35:6). God established these cities so that family members would not retaliate against them for the harm they inflicted upon them by accident or not intentionally.
