Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part III

 THE THREE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD (Part 2)

 

Is it a salvationary matter to know whether the Godhead is made up three Persons?

 

Absolutely! First, because, “It is written.” Jesus Christ, God incarnate, (Matt. 1: 23; Rom. 8: 3; Heb. 2: 14, 16-18; 1 Tim. 3: 16] repeated this truth which He, then the unincarnated Jehovah Creator in the Old Testament, instructed the Old Testament writers. At the outset of His work and mission, after His baptism by John the Baptist, anointing of the Holy Spirit, and vocal affirmation of the Father in heaven as the promised Messiah, Jesus declared:  “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part ll

 THE THREE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD

It is sad and alarming that so late now into earth’s probation time and so close to the final harvest of souls that so many Christian faith groups still reject the three-Person Godhead taught in the Bible, and with it, almost without exception the denial of Christ’s divinity and the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Godhead as Christ’s Vicegerent on earth whom He promised before His death and sent to earth after His ascension.

Mary Fairchild, Christianity expert, in her article “Faith Groups That Reject the Trinity Doctrine, says:

     “The doctrine of the Trinity is central to most Christian denominations and faith groups, although not all. The term ‘Trinity’ is not found in the Bible and is a concept of Christianity that is not easy to grasp or explain. Yet most conservative, evangelical Bible scholars agree that the Trinity doctrine is clearly expressed within Scriptures.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part l

 

    And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4: 12, K.J.V.

The prophet Daniel refers to Jesus Christ only once as “the one saint” (margin, Palmoni).  In a literal translation of the first part of the verse 13 of Daniel chapter 8, just before introducing the 2300-day prophecy in verse 14, F. C. Gilbert, a converted Jew, in his book, Practical Lessons for the Church Today (1902, 1914), pp. 606-608, says:

      “The Hebrew word, Palmoni, is a contracted word. It contains the elements of two Hebrew words. One isPele, and the other Man-na. The Hebrew word, Pele, means wonderful. See Isaiah 9: 6. The word Man-na, means numbered.  See Daniel 5: 25, 26. So this contracted word Palmoni, literally means Wonderful Numberer. This Wonderful Numberer is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.  See Isaiah 9: 6.”

Biblical NumerologyNUMBER TWO – Part XXVIII (Last Part)

 SUMMARY OF NUMBER TWO IN THE BIBLE – Part IX

“Can two walk together unless they be agreed?” (Amos: 3: 3)? Yes, but such a  relationship is forced and coerced rather than forged by every reason other than mutual love, respect, understanding, subscribing to the same Biblical principles that shape their individual priorities, values, choices, and decisions in life. It is based on temporary convenience, self-serving advantages, thus, purely of outward appearance. Such a relationship will never bear the genuine fruits of the Spirit defined in Galatians 5: 22, 23, as God designed it to be—whether in a marriage relationship or church relationship.  Such a life journey is a lonely, even nightmarish walk through a dark jungle. In summary, certainly not limited to the examples cited in these series but by time and space, we highlight the significance of number two in the Bible as stated at the outset, with the following:

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER TWO – Part XXVII

THE TWO WITNESSES REVIVED AND RESTORED – Part VIII

    After three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Revelation 11: 10, K.J.V.

The historian George Storrs, quoted in Daniel and the Revelation, Uriah Smith, says that:

     “But ‘the triumphing of the wicked is short;’ so was it in France, for their war on the Bible and Christianity had well-nigh swallowed them all up.  The set out to destroy Christ’s ‘two witnesses,’ but they filled Franc with blood and horror, so that they were horror-struck at the result of their wicked deeds, and were glad to remove their impious hands from the Bible.’ – Midnight Cry, May 14, 1843, Vol. IX, Nos. 5, 6, p. 47.

PERVERSION OF LIBERTY AND REASON – Part VII

First this: The New York Times reports that recent studies show that the percentage of Protestant Americans is in steep decline:

     “For the first times since researchers began tracking the religious identity of Americans, fewer than half said they were Protestants, a steep decline from 40 years ago when Protestant churches claimed the loyalty of more than two-thirds of the population. A new study released . . . by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that it was not just liberal mainline Protestants, like Methodists and Episcopalians, who abandoned their faith, but also more conservative evangelical and ‘born again’ Protestants.

The losses were among white Protestants, but not among black or minority Protestants, the study found, based on surveys conducted this summer. When they leave, instead of switching churches, they join the growing ranks who do not identify with any religion. Nearly one in five Americans say they are atheist, agnostic, or ‘nothing in particular.’” www.nytimes/2012/10/10/us/study-finds-that-percentage of-protestant-americans-is declining.

DEADLY RESULT OF ATHEISM AND LICENTIOUSNESS COMBINED – Part VI

 

 “And their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” Rev. 11: 7, 8, 10, K.J.V.

 In The Geat Controversy (1911), “The Bible and the French Revolution,” ch. 15, pp. 269-74, Ellen G. White reviews the historical fulfillment of this prophecy:

“According to the words of the prophet [John], then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.

ATHEISTICAL FRANCE’S WAR AGAINST THE TWO WITNESSES – Part V

      And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendedth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them. 8   And their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. Rev. 11: 7, K.J.V.

       “In the year 1793 . . .  the gospel was, by a solemn act of the Legislature and the people abolished in France . The indignities offered to the actual copies of the Bible were unimportant after this; their life is in their doctrines, and the extinction of the doctrines is the extinction of the Bible. By the decree of the French Government, declaring that the nation acknowledged no God, the Old and New Testament wereslain throughout the limits of Republican France. But contumelies to the Sacred Books could not have been wanting, in the general plunder of every place of worship. In Lyons they were dragged at the tail of an ass in a procession through the streets . . . .
