When you start
talking about the power of numbers, you are talking about the occult
and pagan religions. Christianity never has made any claims that
there is power in certain numbers. Numbers have no power, they are
just numbers.
There are no
special numbers in Christianity, although there are many important
numbers. Here are just a few:
1. There is
ONE God.
2. The TWO greatest
commandments - love God and love your neighbor.
3. The THREE
persons of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit.
4. The FOUR
Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
5. The FIVE
books of Moses (the Pentatude).
6. God created
everything in SIX days.
7. On the SEVENTH
day He rested.
8. There are
EIGHT men whom God inspired to write the New Testament.
9. Jesus healed
ten lepers, but NINE did not thank him.
10. The TEN
Commandments
We can keep
going up into bigger numbers:
30 pieces of
silver were paid to Judas.
Jesus was in
the wilderness for 40 days.
Israel was in
captivity in Babylon for 70 years.
Gideon started
with an army of 32,000 men, which God reduced to 300. Following
God's plan, those THREE HUNDRED defeated a large Midianite army.
The Millenial
Kingdom will last 1000 years.
Jesus fed 5000,
then he fed a different group of 4000.
There are
no special numbers in Christianity.
