NUMEROLOGY: THE NUMBER FOUR (4)

(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.

a) Most people may not be aware of the significance of the number four in the Bible but there are said to be four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:2), there were four dominant kingdoms mentioned in Daniel’s prophecy (Daniel 7:3), there are four seasons on the earth, there are four major directions on the earth (north, south, east, and west), and there were even four types of soil in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13).  There were also four pillars in the Temple.
