PREFACE

Dear Reader,

We live in a world where it's been nearly two thousand years of


death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible has traveled
virtually all four corners of the earth, across east and west already know the
name of Him who came into the world to bring eternal life to those who
believe in Him.
Christian churches are scattered everywhere, and after these two thousand
years what we see is the enormous diversity of classifications in their
denominations in order successive divisions occurring in the Christian with the
passing of these two thousand years.
Despite this diversity, a certainty prevails in most of the Christian religion: the
return of our Lord Jesus Christ is very close, because almost all the signs
foretold by our Lord Jesus - in particular, by reading the book of Revelation -
there remains doubt on this point.

But we put the question is: Are the Christian churches preaching the gospel in
an intense way of the Kingdom of God ordained by our Lord Jesus and as a
consequence, preparing the bride for the marriage of the lamb?

It seems we are experiencing a period of contradictions, blind alleys, precisely


because the strategy itself created by Satan, for this end time. On the one
hand, that churches take Jesus is at the door, on the other, however, practice
preaching massive healing and prosperity. What is happening then?

The day and hour when Jesus will come back nobody knows, but the Father
But through this work, we intend to show there in the Good Book, abundant
reference as to when this would occur through the mysteries related to the
numbers cited in the Holy Book.

After reading the Holy Bible, something caught my attention. The number of
references that have identical numbers throughout the Holy Book from
Genesis to Revelation is something amazing and wonderful as the revelation
of a mystery after the drafting of the last book (Revelation), all pieces fit
perfectly and smoothly , as can be, by reason of perfection that is our God.
In fact, many numbers in the Bible are cited repeatedly, each possessing a
significance with regard to God's plan. However, three of these numbers will
be addressed in this work, since together reveal the mystery of God from
creation to the end of time, with the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, namely the
6
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

four, three and finally the seven.'''

Initially, we will show the number four and its derivatives (the fourth, forty,
four hundred). You are so intense he present in the Old Testament, and reading
the verses in which he appears, translates into something like "hope,"
"Patience", "preparation period".

Subsequently, we also note that the number that appears in the Holy Bible on
numerous occasions, and now much more frequent in the New Testament, is
the three and their derivatives (thirty, three hundred, the third). We also note
that this number has close relationship with the life of our Lord Jesus Christ,
whose completion of their meaning by reading the Bible passages was
"running", "realization," consummation. "

Finally, the last number or perhaps the "first", we know - our God knows - it's
seven, which appears several times in both the Old and New Testaments,
especially in the first (Genesis) and last book (Revelation) representing the
number of perfection, the day God rested from all his work he had done.

We explained further that were brought to this work, some passages revealed
by God to this author when preparing this study, which is why when reading
this book the reader may refer to other passages of the Holy Book were not
here presented.

We hope that reading this book, somehow, not only serve as a tool for
reflection on the current state of our relationship with the Church of Christ, but
also awakens a sense of confirmation that the return of our Lord Jesus Christ
really is very come and that the fruits of these feelings result in effective
participation in the work of our Lord Jesus, to take all the preaching of the
gospel of the kingdom of God.
Maranatha! Jesus comes!

Chapter 1

THE NUMBER FOUR

WAITING ON THE LORD

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

CREATION
Initially, we note in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, an important
presence of this number as a divisive factor among the things that our God
created both before and after the fourth day.

By the fourth day, we see that God created the light (day), has separated
between water and water (second day), split between land and seas,
production of green grass, seed, fruit tree (third day), and created the sun,
moon and stars (fourth day).

By the fifth day God created the seas then reptiles, birds and whales, and the
sixth day God made the beasts of the earth, cattle, and every creeping thing
of the earth, and finally created man and woman.

On the seventh day God rested from all his work he had done.

Note that by the fourth day, there was still life on earth, for only the fifth and
sixth day God set aside to create life as described above. Soon, the "four" is
presented here as a preparation for life to come to earth.

DO RIO NO JARDIM DO ÉDEN

8
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

(Gênesis 2:10) - And a river went out of Eden to water


the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became
into four heads.

THE FLOOD

When God decided to put an end to all that was


done, Noah and his family had to "wait" for forty days and forty nights he had
to order all the rain that God has laid on the ground.

GEN 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain
upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every
living substance that I have made will I destroy from off
the face of the earth.
GEN 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and
forty nights.
GEN 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth;
and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was
lift up above the earth.
GEN 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that
Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

Isaac and Rebecca


GEN 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took
Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of
Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
GEN 25:21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife,
because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of
him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
GEN 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his
hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called
Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare
them.

Isaac waited for forty years, that God would prepare a wife. As the LORD had
respect for Isaac, send him a wife named Rebekah. This, in turn, was barren,
leading Isaac to pray to the Lord for his wife to give her children. The word
tells us that Isaac prayed for twenty years to conceive, Rebekah Esau and
Jacob.

ESAU AND THEIR WIVES


9
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

GEN 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to
wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and
Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
GEN 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to
Rebekah.

Unlike what happened with Jacob, Esau having the age of forty, took to himself
two wives, and the above verse shows that these wives were for parents of
Esau, a spirit of bitterness, or sadness and grief caused Isaac and Rebekah.

THE TIME OF SLAVERY

Having become slaves in Egypt, the people of Israel


had to "wait " for four hundred and thirty years to be released.

GEN 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that


thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,
and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four
hundred years;
EX 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who
dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

God tells us there is a strict relationship in the following points: the life of
Moses and Jesus Christ, the waiting time, and ultimately, slavery. Consider:
The Jewish people remained slaves for "four hundred and thirty
years to acquire the freedom which was achieved by sending Moses to the
land of Egypt. After liberation from slavery, it was also necessary to wander in
the desert for forty years to reach the promised land. We also saw that this
period of pilgrimage occurred due to the disobedience of Israel.
Now let a relationship with the work of Jesus Christ. Since Adam, it took about
four thousand years (two thousand years from Adam to Abraham and two
thousand years from Abraham to Jesus Christ) that Jesus was sent to earth for
the deliverance of the children of God from the slavery of sin.
Just as it took forty years for the people of Israel entered the Promised Land,
will also be taken four thousand years for the children of God to enter the
kingdom of God, by inheritance, namely, a wait of two thousand years since
the promise made Abraham to Jesus Christ and the remainder over a two
thousand years of Jesus until today.

MOSES
ACTS 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

10
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

(ACTS 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came
into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
ACTS 7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he
defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and
smote the Egyptian:
ACTS 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have
understood how that God by his hand would deliver them:
but they understood not.
ACTS 7:26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them
as they strove, and would have set them at one again,
saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to
another?
ACTS 7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him
away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
ACTS 7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian
yesterday?
ACTS 7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a
stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
ACTS 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there
appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel
of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
ACTS 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who
made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to
be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which
appeared to him in the bush.
ACTS 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed
wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red
sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

Here we have three periods of forty years connected with the life of Moses, all
related to a waiting period.
The first period corresponds to the time spent waiting on that to come into
your heart the desire to visit his brothers, the people of Israel, because God
had a purpose for his servant Moses of the deliverance of his people.
The second period of forty years, corresponds to the time when Moses was
away from his people, until the angel of God appeared in the wilderness of
Mount Sinai.
Finally, the third sentence of forty years, concerns the end of their journey
when Moses receives God's mission to lead his people through the desert,
freeing them from the bondage of Egypt and leading them to the promised
land.

TWELVE SENT TO SPY THE LAND OF CANAAN

NUM 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


NUM 13:2 Send thou men, that they may search the land

11
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every


tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler
among them.
NUM 13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD
sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men
were heads of the children of Israel.
NUM 13:25 And they returned from searching of the land
after forty days.
NUM 13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to
Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back
word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and
showed them the fruit of the land.
NUM 13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the
land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with
milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
NUM 13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in
the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
NUM 13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south:
and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell
in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea,
and by the coast of Jordan.
NUM 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and
said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well
able to overcome it.
NUM 13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be
not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger
than we.
NUM 13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land
which they had searched unto the children of Israel,
saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it,
is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the
people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
NUM 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
NUM 14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying,
NUM 14:27 How long shall I bear with this evil
congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur
against me.
NUM 14:28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the
LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
NUM 14:29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and
all that were numbered of you, according to your whole
number, from twenty years old and upward which have
12
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

murmured against me.


NUM 14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land,
concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
NUM 14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a
prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land
which ye have despised.
NUM 14:32 But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in
this wilderness.
NUM 14:33 And your children shall wander in the
wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until
your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
NUM 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye
searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year,
shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall
know my breach of promise.
NUM 14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all
this evil congregation, that are gathered together against
me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there
they shall die.
NUM 14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the
land, who returned, and made all the congregation to
murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the
land,
NUM 14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil
report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
NUM 14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son
of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search
the land, lived still.

The land that God promised the people of Israel, was not empty, but it was
inhabited by very strong, so that the promise of the land of Canaan should be
won through struggle and perseverance. Could you turn over the land without
major difficulties, a ready-made land without inhabitants, but the Lord needed
to prove the faith of its people, or if she was up for any challenge that was
greater.
With the exception of Joshua and Caleb, all others who searched the land, they
returned all discouraged, behold, the conquest would be impossible, because
of people who lived there. But Joshua and Caleb believed in the promise of the
Lord.
Here, we emphasize again three verses inserted in the text above, which then
repeat:

NUM 13:25 And they returned from searching of the land


after forty days.
NUM 14:33 And your children shall wander in the
wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until
your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
13
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

NUM 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye


searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year,
shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall
know my breach of promise.

Thus, we see that the Lord God according to his purpose, made for each day
that the earth was glance, to be represented by one year for the pilgrimage in
the desert. In this passage, God reveals in his work, a prophetic list of day and
year. Already, in another passage the Lord presents a relationship between a
day and a millennium, namely:

2PET 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one


thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.

Thus, we have two waiting periods that were related to the promised land. The
first sentence (forty days) was the time that the people of Israel waited for the
earth was peek. Already, the second period (forty years) was needed so that
people could then enter on that land. In both, the meaning is the same, ie one
expects to fulfill God's purpose.
Already in its second letter of Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, the relationship is
between a day and a millennium, that is, what God has appointed for the
seventh day, so too will come to the seventh millennium, and what was
determined to the fourth day, also to be the fourth millennium, and finally,
which has designated the third day will be consummated in the third
millennium, as will be discussed in subsequent chapters of this work.

PILGRIMAGE OF THE DESERT

After the liberation of Israel from Egypt, it was necessary to "wait" a period of
forty years of wandering in the wilderness, so that people could reach the land
of Canaan.

Through the following verse (8:2 DT), we have the Lord God, determined the
period of forty years in order to humiliate, to taste, to know what was in the
heart of the Jewish people to obey the Lord or not.

DEUT 2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all
the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through
this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God
hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
DEUT 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the
LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness,
to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in
thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments, or no.

14
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

DEUT 8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither
did thy foot swell, these forty years.

As we said earlier, since the promise made to Abraham, it's been four
thousand years (two thousand years before Jesus and two thousand years
until today), and all we saw was that God's purpose was the same as had
with the people of Israel in the wilderness. In these four thousand years,
sought to prove God and humiliate its people, to know what was in his heart,
keep the commandments or not. And what we discover? A people that after
entering the promised land remained disobedient, not respecting God's
commandments. When Jesus Christ was sent to consummation of the work,
the people did not receive it, surrendered before the death.

What God tells us and teaches us all this is the following


message: the promise made to Israel in the wilderness, into the land of
Canaan only Joshua and Caleb, who went out of Egypt. Both believed in God's
promise, since even before the difficulties they faced to possess the
promised land, remained firm in their hearts to confirm the word of God.
And for the promise of the Kingdom of God, how come it?

As it was with Joshua and Caleb, will also be with us. Even before large
trials, even when Satan wants to show us the defeat, if we believe firmly in
God's word, nailing it in our hearts, and we will receive the promise with Jesus
Christ in the kingdom prepared for the children of God.

God has shown the promised land for Joshua and Caleb, but it was still
necessary to conquer it. And this achievement was possible only with the
help of God, who would guide them in everything.
Likewise, the Kingdom of God we were shown through Jesus Christ, only here
the conquest of this kingdom will by faith that he is the Christ, Savior of our
souls.

1JN 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten
of him.
1JN 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God,
and keep his commandments.
1JN 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous.
1JN 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1JN 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus
is the Son of God?

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

15
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

When Moses went up the mountain, had to "wait" for forty days and forty
nights to write the Ten Commandments.

EX 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and
forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And
he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the
ten commandments.
DEUT 9:9 When I was gone up into the mount to
receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the
covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in
the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat
bread nor drink water:
DEUT 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty
days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two
tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

BUILDING THE SHRINE


We also note the following verses, the constant presence of the number four
at various times when the building of the temple which God spoke to Moses
that his people did.

EX 25:12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and
put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall

DISOBEDIENCE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL

DEUT 9:13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I


have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked
people:
DEUT 9:14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and
blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of
thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
DEUT 9:15 So I turned and came down from the mount,
and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the
covenant were in my two hands.
DEUT 9:16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned
against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten
calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the
LORD had commanded you.
DEUT 9:17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of
my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
DEUT 9:18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first,
forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor
drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in
doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to
anger.
DEUT 9:19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot
displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to
destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that
time also.
DEUT 9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to

17
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same
time.
DEUT 10:10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the
first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD
hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would
not destroy thee.
DEUT 10:11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy
journey before the people, that they may go in and
possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give
unto them.

Forty days and forty nights Moses was on the


mountain to receive the commandments, it was necessary for the people of
Israel disobeyed God and made a molten calf. With so many miracles that God
had already done before the eyes of the people, this waiting period was short
enough for disobedience.
Nowadays, we have seen a situation quite similar. Just as it took a little time
(forty days) so that the people walked on the wrong path of idolatry, too little
time was enough after the resurrection of Jesus Christ to the people who
create and pass to worship images, whether of wood, metal, plaster etc.. At
the beginning of the early church, it was thought about a quick lap of Jesus (as
well as the people of Israel waited too rapid descent of the mountain of
Moses). However, finding the people that Jesus took in return, chose to carve
statues to delight the eyes and solace to the soul.

JOSHUA GIVES Hebron to Caleb

JOSH 14:6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in


Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said
unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto
Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in
Kadeshbarnea.
JOSH 14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of
the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the
land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine
heart.
JOSH 14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me
made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed
the LORD my God.
JOSH 14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely
the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine
inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast
wholly followed the LORD my God.
JOSH 14:10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me
alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the
LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of
Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this
18
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

day fourscore and five years old.


JOSH 14:11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the
day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so
is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come
in.
JOSH 14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof
the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day
how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were
great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I
shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
JOSH 14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb
the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
JOSH 14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day,
because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
JOSH 14:15 And the name of Hebron before was
Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the
Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

Here we have two periods, ie, the first in which Caleb


waited forty years for Moses sent to spy the land of Hebron. Having
persevered in following the Lord God, Moses swore at that moment, that land
would be his (Caleb) and their children, an inheritance forever.
In the second period, Caleb waited forty-five years
after the oath of Moses, to receive for an inheritance the land of Hebron have
continued to persevere in following the Lord God.

DIVISION OF LAND TO THE PEOPLE


When the division of land to the tribes of Israel, we note that appears in many
verses also the number four, but let's see:

JOSH 19:7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities
and their villages:
JOSH 21:18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with
her suburbs; four cities.
JOSH 21:22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron
with her suburbs; four cities.
JOSH 21:24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her
suburbs; four cities.
JOSH 21:29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her
suburbs; four cities.

suburbs; four cities in all.

PERIOD OF THE JUDGES


Had the people of Israel to "wait" for a period of nearly four hundred and fifty
years, that God would speak again through the prophet, and during this period
was entrusted to the judges, the task of caring for these people.

ACTS 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his
hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give
audience.
ACTS 13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our
fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as

about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until
Samuel the prophet.
ACTS 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God
gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of
Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
DAN 3:5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the

TEMPTATION OF JESUS

MT 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty


nights, he was afterward an hungred.
MK 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days,
tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the
angels ministered unto him.
LK 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those
days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he
afterward hungered.

After being baptized, Jesus had to wait a period of forty days, during which he
was tempted by Satan, so that he could start his ministry preaching the gospel
of the kingdom of God.

24
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

PROPHECY OF JESUS
In the following parable, Jesus makes reference to the period of four months,
so prophetic, as well as in the period since the harvest has come, from
Abraham to the present day, comprises a period of approximately four
thousand years, which is also already reached the Kingdom of God.

JN 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields; for they are white already to
harvest.
REV 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and
upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having
on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
REV 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple,
crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee
to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
REV 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle
on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS

When Jesus was told of the sickness of Lazarus, he knew that Lazarus would
suffer and rise again after four days. Again the four appears in the Bible to
show that this period corresponds to a waiting time until the Lord Jesus, to
resurrect the glory of God, the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

JN 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is


not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of
God might be glorified thereby.
JN 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain
in the grave four days already.
JN 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the
sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this
time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

JESUS RISEN

ACTS 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,


of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
ACTS 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after
that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments
unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
25
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

ACTS 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his


passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty
days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the
kingdom of God:
ACTS 1:4 And, being assembled together with them,
commanded them that they should not depart from
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which,
saith he, ye have heard of me.
ACTS 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

We also have in this passage, that Jesus Christ was


resurrected after he waited for a period of forty days, that was raised to
heaven, and taken to the Father

NUMBER THREE

Obey the Lord

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

Adam-Abraham-Jesus
For the period from Adam to Abraham, it took up about two
thousand years. Likewise, from Abraham to Jesus, it was another two thousand
years. Finally, from Jesus until today, also traveled to two thousand years.
So our story is divided by God through these three men.
The first, that God used to start your project. The second was when God
revealed his promise, he had prepared for her children, a land to be handed to
those who believe through faith.

27
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

And finally, the third man to fulfill the promise and


accomplishment, not only Jews but also for everyone who believes in him. We
conclude that God in these three males (Adam, Abraham and Jesus), has
prepared three periods of two thousand years, ending up his project, with the
beginning of the seventh millennium.

Abraham-Isaac-Jacob
In the Holy Book, three men were raised by God in the Old
Testament period, which was written for a story so much promise (made by
our God) but also of faith demonstrated by these three men, whose design
was later consummated with the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

THREE MESSENGERS appeared to Abraham


GEN 18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains
of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the
day;
GEN 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three
men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet
them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the
ground,
GEN 18:3 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in
thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
GEN 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and
wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
GEN 18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort
ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore
are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou
hast said.
GEN 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah,
and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal,
knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
GEN 18:7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a
calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and
he hasted to dress it.
GEN 18:8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which
he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by
them under the tree, and they did eat.
GEN 18:9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy
wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
GEN 18:10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee
according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall
have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was

THE LORD COMES ON MOUNT SINAI


EX 19:1 In the third month, when the children of Israel
were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day
came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
EX 19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were
come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the
wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
EX 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD
called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt
thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of
Israel;
EX 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and
how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto
myself.
EX 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed,
and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is
mine:
EX 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and
an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel.
EX 19:7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the
people, and laid before their faces all these words which
the LORD commanded him.
EX 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said,
All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses
returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
EX 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto
thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I
speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told
the words of the people unto the LORD.
EX 19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the
people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let
them wash their clothes,
EX 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third
day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people
upon mount Sinai.

EX 19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round
about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up
into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever
toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
EX 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall
surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or
man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount.
EX 19:14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the
people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their
clothes.
EX 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against
the third day: come not at your wives.
EX 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the
morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a
thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the
camp trembled.
EX 19:17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the
camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part
of the mount.
EX 19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke,
because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and
the whole mount quaked greatly.
EX 19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded
long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God
answered him by a voice.
EX 19:20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on
the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the
top of the mount; and Moses went up.
EX 19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge
the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to
gaze, and many of them perish.
EX 19:22 And let the priests also, which come near to the
LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon
them.
EX 19:23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people
cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us,
saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
EX 19:24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee
down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee:
but let not the priests and the people break through to
come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
EX 19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake
unto them.

Here we have a prophetic passage relating the time


of order, with the return of Jesus Christ. Given the extent of the above text,

EX 19:1 In the third month, when the children of Israel


were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day
came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
EX 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD

and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is
mine:
EX 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and
an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel.
EX 19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the
people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let
them wash their clothes,
EX 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third
day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people
upon mount Sinai.

The first verse shows that in the third month of removal of


Israel from Egypt, the Lord spoke to Moses for his people. We know that the
people of Israel out of Egypt, corresponds exactly to the third month of the
end of the slavery of that people. Also, the sending of our Lord Jesus Christ,
was to release the children of God from the slavery of sin. Therefore, as
occurred on that occasion, also in the third millennium the end of slavery of
sin, the Lord will come to speak to his people.
Already, the last two verses above also reveal a prophetic
passage, inasmuch as the Lord commands the people to sanctify themselves
in two days, washing their clothes, for the third day, be ready, when the Lord
descends on the eyes of all people.
The two days represent the two millennia, counted from the resurrection of
Jesus (liberation from the bondage of sin) period in which the Lord has
determined that your children wash their clothes, performing well in white
robes before the Lord. Finally, the third day represents the third millennium,
when the Lord descends in the eyes of all people.

MT 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory,


and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory:
MT 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations:
32
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

and he shall separate them one from another, as a


shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

THE LORD HEARS Hezekiah

2KINGS 20:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death.


And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and
said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in
order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2KINGS 20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and
prayed unto the LORD, saying,
2KINGS 20:3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how
I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect
heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And
Hezekiah wept sore.
2KINGS 20:4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone
out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came
to him, saying,
2KINGS 20:5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of
my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy
father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:
behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up
unto the house of the LORD.

ESTER BEFORE THE KING

ESTHER 5:1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that


Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner
court of the king's house, over against the king's house:
and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house,
over against the gate of the house.

THE NEW TESTAMENT

THE THREE WISE MEN

MT 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea


in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise
men from the east to Jerusalem,
MT 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
33
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him.
MT 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they
saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down,
and worshipped him: and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense and myrrh.

BOY JESUS IN TEMPLE


LK 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they
found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the
doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

BAPTISM OF JESUS

LK 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to


pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the
heaven was opened,
LK 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape
like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well
pleased.
LK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years
of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which
was the son of Heli,

AGE OF JESUS

Luke, Chapter 3, says that when Jesus began his ministry, was
about 30 years. Since the book of John describes three until Easter in which
Jesus goes to Jerusalem.
Therefore, Jesus having about thirty years old when his
baptism, added three more years of Passover, when Jesus went to Jerusalem,
totaling 33 years until his death and resurrection.
The number three appears at the moment so intense, that
note was baptized at thirty years old, and was resurrected with thirty-three
years.
The most fascinating and revealing, is the number we get
when we subtract the number of his death with his baptism (33-30), which will
result in number three.
So we have to Jesus from his baptism until his death and
resurrection, by will and purpose of God, preached the gospel of the kingdom
of God, for a period of three years.
Although the Lord Jesus came to preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God,
only about four thousand years after Adam's creation, said United was already

34
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

prepared by the Father before the foundation of the world.

MT 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right
hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

TEMPTATION OF JESUS

MT 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the


wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
MT 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty
nights, he was afterward an hungred.
MT 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If
thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread.
MT 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
MT 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and
setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
MT 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels
charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear
thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone.
MT 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God.
MT 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding
high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the
world, and the glory of them;
MT 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
MT 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.
MT 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels
came and ministered unto him.
During the period that remained in the desert Jesus
was tempted three times by Satan.

JESUS TURNS WATER INTO WINE

35
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

(JN 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
JN 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the
marriage.
JN 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus
saith unto him, They have no wine.
JN 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with
thee? mine hour is not yet come.
JN 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he
saith unto you, do it.
JN 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone,
after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece.
JN 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
JN 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear
unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
JN 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water
that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the
servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the
feast called the bridegroom,
JN 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning
doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk,
then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine
until now.
JN 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples
believed on him.

Here we have a biblical passage, representing two


prophetic situations, namely: a) Jesus predicts the supply of blood for the
forgiveness of his sins, his resurrection on the third day, and b) around the third
millennium.

Where to read this passage, when Jesus said to his mother


who was not yet her hour has come, understood to be referring not even be
that moment when you should begin to manifest themselves as children of
God, fulfilling his great miracles.

However, two words in this passage changed my thinking:


"Third" and "wine". Let us examine each one:
* Wine: We know that the wine in the life of Jesus
symbolizes his blood. Now his mother was asking our Lord Jesus when he
served wine was not yet the time, a situation that came only occur in the Holy
Supper, when Jesus part and serves the bread and wine to his apostles
symbolizing his flesh and blood that was shed for many for the remission of
sins. Arrival was not yet time to serve our Lord Jesus the wine (his blood).
Note that although the Lord Jesus worked the miracle, turning water into wine,
he himself did not serve, but determines to be taken to the master of
36
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

ceremonies. Then, with the master of ceremonies tasted the wine, he directed
his speech to the groom's party, saying that wine was better than that served at
the beginning of the party. For the master of ceremonies, who offered the wine
was the groom's party and not Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Jesus came to earth to do exactly as the Father had appointed him,
or he had to accomplish all the works that received the mission of the Father,
hence the reason of the prophetic words spoken to his mother in Chapter 2,
verse 4 when he said: "Woman, what have I to do with you?", ie he wanted to
say that only serve wine at the time that the Father had ordered that this be
done.
* Day Three: As the Lord Jesus himself said, yet it was time
to serve him wine, symbolizing his blood. This passage occurs just when Jesus
begins his ministry, as the word says that from there, Jesus has begun its
miracles.
We also know that Jesus promoted its mission by preaching the gospel of
God's Kingdom for a period of three years. Thus, we conclude that it would be
necessary to spend a further three years that Jesus came to serve the wine at
the Last Supper. That is why the expression third day at the beginning of
Chapter 2 of John's gospel, that is, there is a prophetic sense in which the third
day was the wedding at Cana in Galilee, would be the third year thereafter, so
that wine was offered by him in the holy supper.
Finally, the third day of the quoted verse also represents
another prophetic revelation, because after his resurrection, we are currently in
the third millennium in which Jesus will return to sit with him and partake of a
new supper when he prophesied of the latter.

MT 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave
it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
MT 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins.
MT 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with
you in my Father's kingdom.

THREE TABERNACLES
MT 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it
is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and
one for Elias.
LK 9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him,
Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here:
and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

CROWD HEARS JESUS


37
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

MT 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and


said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they
continue with me now three days, and have nothing to
eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint
in the way.
(MK 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they
have now been with me three days, and have nothing to
eat:

The crowd followed when Jesus was not concerned with what he had to eat or
drink, for the word that Jesus said was serving as food for people.

Rebuilding of the temple

(JN 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
JN 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

PARABLE OF YEAST

LK 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in


three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Parable of robbers

LK 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was


neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

Parable of importunate friend

LK 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a


friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto
him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE


38
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

LK 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard,


Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig
tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the
ground?

This parable is a prophetic passage, because we are in the third millennium


after the resurrection of Jesus, during which he was appointed to the fig tree
gives its fruit will be cut after which the cast into the fire to be burned. Note that
the parable shows that the vineyard had to constantly look for fruit on the fig
tree and not always found. Jesus is all the time, hoping that their children will
bear fruit, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and bringing the soul
from darkness to light, thus attaining salvation.

JESUS, MARY AND MARTHA - THREE MEETINGS

MARIA RECOGNIZES THE LIGHT

LK 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he


entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named
Martha received him into her house.
LK 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat
at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
LK 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that
my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore
that she help me.
LK 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha,
Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
LK 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen
that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

MARIA DE JESUS TO TOE


(JN 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way,
and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is
come, and calleth for thee.
JN 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and
came unto him.
JN 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but
was in that place where Martha met him.
JN 11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house,
and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up
39
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto
the grave to weep there.
JN 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and
saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if
thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
JN 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the
Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the
spirit, and was troubled.
JN 11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto
him, Lord, come and see.
JN 11:35 Jesus wept.

MARY ANOINTS JESUS’FEET

(JN 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom
he raised from the dead.
JN 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table
with him.
JN 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his
feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour
of the ointment.

We find in the gospels, three times when describing the


encounter between Jesus and Martha and her sister, Maria. In three games,
something tells us the behavior of Mary: the three situations, unlike Martha,
she throws herself at Jesus' feet, worshiping Him: at first to hear Him, the
second to cry at his feet, and third time to anoint His feet with ointment of pure
nard. This passage teaches us that during our life we will be in a certain way
as Mary, namely a first contact with Jesus, hear His words will be amazed at
his teachings with the truth that is in his word.
However, since a second phase, which will happen on a
busy day and cry at his feet, asking the console, give us strength to walk and
move on. Finally, after being comforted, then we recognize that only God can
give us life, and "perfume"more expensive than we have in our lives, will be to
anoint His feet, worshiping and praising His Holy Name.

JESUS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

JN 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,


believe also in me.

40
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

JN 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it


were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you.
JN 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there
ye may be also.
JN 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
JN 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither
thou goest; and how can we know the way?
JN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
JN 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my
Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have
seen him.
JN 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and
it sufficeth us.
JN 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father?
JN 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and
the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak
not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth
the works.
JN 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
JN 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
JN 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that
will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
JN 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
JN 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jesus said to be three things: the way, the truth and


the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him Jesus taught us that
tight and narrow is the path that leads to the Kingdom of God. Through the
words that Jesus made, we can reach an understanding of truth, since we
believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Finally, he is the living bread that came
down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will never die but have eternal life.

BETRAYAL OF JUDAS

MT 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I
will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him
for thirty pieces of silver. (

41
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

(MT 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by


Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom
they of the children of Israel did value;

PETER DENIES JESUS

MT 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice.
(MK 14:30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow
twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
MT 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which
said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

JESUS IS prayer in Gethsemane


MT 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place
called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye
here, while I go and pray yonder.
MT 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
MT 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with
me.
MT 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face,
and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this
cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.
MT 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth
them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
watch with me one hour?
MT 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak.
MT 26:42 He went away again the second time, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass
away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
MT 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for
their eyes were heavy.
MT 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and
prayed the third time, saying the same words.
MT 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
42
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour
is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners.
MT 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that
doth betray me.

Here, the three appear not only at a time, but


in two.
When Jesus came into the garden of Gethsemane, he told
his disciples to wait there while he went to pray. Right now, it carries "three"
apostles, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee.
During the time when Jesus was praying, we have the
prayer was held in three stages, described in verses 39, 42 and 44 of Chapter
26.
In this passage, we learn something important in our Christian life, when Jesus
teaches us to watch and pray always, lest we fall into temptation.

MT 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into


temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod


SANHEDRIN

LK 22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the


people and the chief priests and the scribes came
together, and led him into their council, saying,
LK 22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto
them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

PILATE

LK 23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led


him unto Pilate.
LK 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found
this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give
tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
LK 23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of
the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

HEROD

LK 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding


glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season,

43
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped


to have seen some miracle done by him.

During the period in which Jesus is accused, he is


brought before three authorities: the Sanhedrin, Pilate and King Herod, the
Roman state representative.

PILATE INSISTS ON FREE JESUS

LK 23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief


priests and the rulers and the people,
LK 23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto
me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I,
having examined him before you, have found no fault in
this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
LK 23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo,
nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
LK 23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
LK 23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them
at the feast.)
LK 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with
this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
LK 23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and
for murder, was cast into prison.)
LK 23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake
again to them.
LK 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
LK 23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what
evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I
will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
LK 23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring
that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of
the chief priests prevailed.
LK 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as
they required.

The Crucifixion

MK 15:22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha,


which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
MK 15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with
myrrh: but he received it not.
MK 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted
his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man
should take.
44
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

MK 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
MK 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was
written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
MK 15:27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one
on his right hand, and the other on his left.
MK 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And
he was numbered with the transgressors.

The three have meant so much in the life of Jesus


Christ, since as in verse 15 above shows, even when He was crucified, the
three also followed his career here on earth.

THREE CRUCIFIED

JN 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place


called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew
Golgotha:
JN 19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with
him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
JN 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross.
And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF
THE JEWS.

THREE HOURS OF DARKNESS ON THE GROUND

MT 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness


over all the land unto the ninth hour.
MT 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
MT 27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard
that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
MT 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a
spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and
gave him to drink.
MT 27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias
will come to save him.
MT 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud
voice, yielded up the ghost.
LK 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a
darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
LK 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the
temple was rent in the midst.

45
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

LK 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he


said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and
having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

During the three hours of darkness over all the earth, we


have for reading the scriptures during this period, God seems to have been
absent for a short while the presence of Jesus, but never ceased to protect
him. Our Lord Jesus said the phrase: "God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?", Not because of their suffering, because He already knew everything
that was going to pass us by.
In those three hours of darkness over all the earth,
departed from God, to show us (and teach us) that Jesus still on the cross,
suffering, suffering a huge pain, moments before delivering his spirit, he also
believe in the Father, saying perhaps the most important sentence of his work
with the consummation of all that was done by the will of the Father, saying:
"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."
A lifetime without sin, throughout time, through
temptations, snares of Satan, could consummate his work, when he gave his
spirit to the Father, without spot or blemish, so that we could achieve eternal

God in our lives, we still believe, that just never forget these moments, our

RESURRECTION OF JESUS

MK 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of


man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the
elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed,
and after three days rise again.

THREE EXPRESSIONS OF JESUS RISEN

(JN 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed
himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the
dead.

It questioned three times PEDRO JESUS

46
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

JN 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon


Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than
these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
JN 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my
sheep.
JN 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said
unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto
him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

In these verses, the same Peter who denied Jesus three times before the cock
crows, likewise confirmed in his words that he loved Jesus, when questioned
by this.

JESUS AND THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SCRIPTURE

LK 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words


which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all
things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of
Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning
me.

Before the coming of our Lord Jesus, God in his purpose,


which was prepared made the prophetic announcement of the coming of the
Savior, at three times the Holy Bible: the Law of Moses, the prophets and
finally through the Psalms.

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE THE

1COR 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of


angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1COR 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have
not charity, I am nothing.
1COR 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have
not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
47
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

1COR 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity


envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1COR 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1COR 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth;
1COR 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth
all things, endureth all things.
1COR 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be
prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they
shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish
away.
1COR 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1COR 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away.
1COR 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I
became a man, I put away childish things.
1COR 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know
even as also I am known.
1COR 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity.

As the word reveals to us, as we await the return of


Jesus Christ, we must stand in faith, hope and love. Paul, however, teaches us
that the three largest of these is love. And why?
But while we wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith, hope and
love we have in our hearts is that so we proceeded. However, when we stand
before Jesus and to achieve the salvation of our souls, faith and hope will be
exhausted, since these were necessary conditions for that to occur salvation. It
will remain still in our hearts love, feeling that we will continue practicing even
in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God.

TRIPLE THE TESTIMONY ABOUT CHRIST

1JN 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even


Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit
is truth.
1JN 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
1JN 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the
Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree
in one.
48
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

1JN 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of


God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath
testified of his Son.
1JN 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the
witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made
him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God
gave of his Son.
1JN 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1JN 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath
not the Son of God hath not life.

THREE PRAYERS

DANIEL

DAN 6:7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors,


and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have
consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to
make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of
any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he
shall be cast into the den of lions.
DAN 6:8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the
writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the
Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
DAN 6:9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the
decree.
DAN 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was
signed, he went into his house; and his windows being
open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon
his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks
before his God, as he did aforetime.

JESUS

MT 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place


called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye
here, while I go and pray yonder.
MT 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
MT 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with
me.
MT 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face,
and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this
cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
49
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

wilt.
MT 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth
them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
watch with me one hour?
MT 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak.
MT 26:42 He went away again the second time, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass
away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
MT 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for
their eyes were heavy.
MT 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and
prayed the third time, saying the same words.
MT 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour
is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners.
MT 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that
doth betray me.

PAUL

2COR 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure


through the abundance of the revelations, there was given
to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to
buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
2COR 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it
might depart from me.
2COR 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most
gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that
the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2COR 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses
for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Chapter 3

THE NUMBER SEVEN

" GEN 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from
all his work which God created and made. "

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

CREATION

(GEN 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day
from all his work which he had made.
GEN 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified
it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.

According to the whole purpose of God, the seven


were chosen by the Lord as the number of perfection, when everything is
ready and finished as the Divine creation, then seven is blessed and sanctified
by God, that there is no rest of the Lord.
Why everything is under seven, is a mystery that belongs only to the Father
known. We address here two numbers found in the Holy Bible that once
added, will complete the work of God, ie, the number seven.
51
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

The first issue we studied was four, because we demonstrated how the Holy
Book lists this number as a waiting period of preparation, trial. For the very
reason for being, their presence proved so intense in the Old Testament.
Then we made an approach through the number three as this number has
followed throughout the course of our Lord Jesus Christ. Exceeding the period
of waiting, preparation, then comes a period of consummation, completion of a
work, when it presents itself to the three, plus the four, is achieved perfection
of God's work, which is seven.

FLOOD

GEN 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all
thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous
before me in this generation.
GEN 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by
sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are
not clean by two, the male and his female.
GEN 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and
the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the
earth.
GEN 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon
the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living
substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face
of the earth.
(GEN 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the
waters of the flood were upon the earth.
GEN 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of
Ararat.
GEN 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again
he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
GEN 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent
forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any
more.

THE WORK OF JACOB

GEN 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve
thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
GEN 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also
for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven
other years.

52

GEN 29:30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved


also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet
seven other years.

THE MEETING of Jacob and Esau

GEN 33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and,
behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And
he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and
unto the two handmaids.
GEN 33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children
foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and
Joseph hindermost.
GEN 33:3 And he passed over before them, and bowed
himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to
his brother.
GEN 33:4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him,
and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

THE DREAMS OF PHARAOH


GEN 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years,
that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
GEN 41:2 And, behold, there came up out of the river
seven well favored kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a
meadow.
GEN 41:3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after
them out of the river, ill favored and leanfleshed; and
stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
GEN 41:4 And the ill favored and leanfleshed kine did eat
up the seven well favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
GEN 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and,
behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank
and good.
GEN 41:6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with
the east wind sprung up after them.
GEN 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven
rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was
a dream.

daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
DEUT 7:4 For they will turn away thy son from following
me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of

destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut

release;

LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
DEUT 15:5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these
commandments which I command thee this day.
DEUT 15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he
promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but
thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many
nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

DANIEL
DAN 3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the
form of his visage was changed against Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and
commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven
times more than it was wont to be heated.
DAN 4:16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a

DAN 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an

DAN 4:25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy

shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet

over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
(DAN 4:32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy

understood by books the number of the years, whereof

and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to

weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be


built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

By reading the Bible, we find that God spoke


through the prophet Daniel, many things about the end time.
Noted above, several citations refer to paragraphs derived from seven
(seventy weeks, seventy, seven weeks). The seventh millennium is also
related to the Lord's purpose for the end time.

Let us read the following verse:

DAN 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people


and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to
make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for
iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to
seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most

After these seven thousand years since creation, then God Himself will dwell
with men. Already completed six thousand years since the creation of the
world, which added to the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ, will amount to
seven thousand years. Let us examine the following verses:

REV 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
REV 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which
are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to
gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as
the sand of the sea.
REV 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth,
and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them.
REV 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the
false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
REV 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away; and there was found no place for them.
REV 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another
book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works.
REV 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in
them: and they were judged every man according to their
67
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

works.
REV 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
REV 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

REV 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:


for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.
REV 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband.
REV 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be
their God.
REV 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away.
REV 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I
make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.
REV 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto
him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
REV 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son.
REV 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is
the second death.

These verses of Revelation, harmonize perfectly with verse 24 of


Chapter 9 of the Book of Daniel.
Making the integration of these two texts, we could create the following
thought:

Seven thousand years are determined upon the people of


God and the holy city to finish transgression, to make an end of sins (ceasing
to death, and mourning, the crying, and pain), to atone for wickedness, to
bring everlasting righteousness, because God Himself will dwell with men,
once everything is completed.

Note that the verse from the Book of Daniel refers to the phrases "bring in

everlasting righteousness, to make an end of sins, make reconciliation for


iniquity, " ie, everything that will happen when God himself comes to dwell
with his people, as described up in the book of Revelation.

FORGIVENESS

MT 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till
seven times?
MT 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until
seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
LK 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a
day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I
repent; thou shalt forgive him.

THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTY

LK 10:1 After these things the LORD appointed other


seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face
into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
LK 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying,
Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy
name.

JESUS APPEARS TO SEVEN DISCIPLES

JN 21:1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to


the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise
shewed he himself.
JN 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas
called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the
70
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.


JN 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They
say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and
entered into a ship immediately; and that night they
caught nothing.
JN 21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood
on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
JN 21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any
meat? They answered him, No.
JN 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right
side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and
now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of
fishes.

Once risen Jesus appears to his disciples, and


performs again the miraculous catch. This time, when Jesus performs this
miracle, are on board seven of his disciples. It must also mentioned in verse 14
of chapter 21 of John's gospel, this was the third time that Jesus was
manifested to the disciples.

Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the
great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads

thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,

seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth.

REV 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last
plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will
shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

The number "seven"in the Book of Revelation is a constant, since it is


precisely the Book of Revelation, the last book, in which God's work is
accomplished.

midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the
waters.
GEN 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the
waters which were under the firmament from the waters
which were above the firmament: and it was so.
GEN 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the

75
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

evening and the morning were the second day.


GEN 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven
be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land
appear: and it was so.
GEN 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the
gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God
saw that it was good.
GEN 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit
after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and
it was so.
GEN 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that
it was good.
GEN 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third
day.
GEN 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and
years:
GEN 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
GEN 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to
rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made
the stars also.
GEN 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth,
GEN 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to
divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was
good.
GEN 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth
day.

As we have presented in this work, the number four in the Good Book, is a
waiting period of preparation within the purpose of God. In creation, we note
that this thought is confirmed when God divides the building in several days.
God has reserved the first four days of creation, to prepare a work order to be
ready to receive then living beings, namely, that life would dwell on the earth.
On the first day created the Light In the second, he divided
the waters which were under the firmament and the waters that were above
the firmament, calling the expansion heaven. In the third, he gathered the
waters under the heavens in place, and the dry land appeared, which he
called Earth, and the gathered waters he called Seas. Also on the third day,
the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself after its kind. Finally, the fourth day,
God created the sun, moon and stars.
Thus in these four days then everything was prepared for
the land he could get the living beings.

76
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Let us now consider the fifth and sixth day of creation:

GEN 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl
that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of
heaven.
GEN 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth.
GEN 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth
day.
GEN 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living
creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and
beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
GEN 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that
creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it
was good.
GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.
GEN 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he
them.
GEN 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth.
GEN 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every
herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding
seed; to you it shall be for meat.
GEN 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every
fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the
earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb
for meat: and it was so.
GEN 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made,
and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.

THE FOURTH MILLENNIUM


Just as we said above, God in the first four days of
creation, prepared the ground so she was ready to receive the living beings,
namely, that life could live here, also since the creation of the world, it was
necessary wait a period of approximately four thousand years before the light
came into the world as the gospel of John teaches us:

JN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God.
JN 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
JN 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was
not any thing made that was made.
JN 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
JN 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
JN 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was
John.
JN 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
Light, that all men through him might believe.
JN 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness
of that Light.
JN 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
JN 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the world knew him not.
JN 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him
not.
JN 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name:
JN 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
JN 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

When Jesus Christ came into the world, had already passed
a sentence of four thousand years since creation, ie, two thousand years from
Adam to Abraham, over a period of approximately two thousand years from
Abraham to Jesus, thus adding to a total of four thousand years.

Another period of four thousand years, also has to do with


the waiting time and the work of our Lord Jesus Christ, but now related to the
creation of the world, but his relationship with Abraham, the father of faith.

As stated above, from Abraham to Jesus Christ represents


a period of about two thousand years, and Jesus Christ to our days, a period
78
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

more than two thousand years. That is, from Abraham to the return of Jesus
Christ, we also have a waiting period of four thousand years.

And what accounts for this period?

Represents the waiting time of the promise made by our


God.

GEN 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy
father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
GEN 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a
blessing:
GEN 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse
him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the
earth be blessed.
GEN 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken
unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy
and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
GEN 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his
brother's son, and all their substance that they had
gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran;
and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into
the land of Canaan they came.
GEN 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the
place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the
Canaanite was then in the land.
GEN 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said,
Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an
altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
GEN 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot
was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look
from the place where thou art northward, and southward,
and eastward, and westward:
GEN 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I
give it, and to thy seed for ever.
GEN 13:16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the
earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,
then shall thy seed also be numbered.
GEN 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it
and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
GEN 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant
with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land,
from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river
Euphrates

79
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

GAL 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men;


Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed,
no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
GAL 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises
made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of
one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
GAL 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four
hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it
should make the promise of none effect.
GAL 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more
of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
GAL 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added
because of transgressions, till the seed should come to
whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by
angels in the hand of a mediator.
GAL 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but
God is one.
GAL 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God
forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have
given life, verily righteousness should have been by the
law.
GAL 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to
them that believe.

By the excerpts presented above, we note that through Abraham God made
the promise that this was achieved by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, the
promise until the return of our Lord Jesus, God established a waiting period of
approximately four thousand years.

THIRD DAY - THE THIRD YEAR - THIRD MILLENNIUM

THIRD DAY
MT 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
MT 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of
man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the
scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
MT 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock,
and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he
shall rise again.

80
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

For all the work to be complete, it was necessary for


Jesus to suffer and rise again the third day, conquering death and freeing us
from sin. With his resurrection, death has been defeated. This is the victory we
have in Jesus Christ, our resurrection to eternal life. We need only believe that
Jesus Christ came to earth as the Son of God, to give us eternal life.

THIRD YEAR

LK 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to


pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the
heaven was opened,
LK 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape
like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well
pleased.
LK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years
of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which
was the son of Heli,

The Book of John describes three Passovers in which Jesus goes to Jerusalem,
when it is his death and resurrection.
Just as we said earlier, that Jesus Christ rose again the
third day, again after the completion of His baptism in the third year of his
ministry, his death and resurrection occurs.

THIRD MILLENNIUM

PSALM 90

PS 90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all


generations.
PS 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever
thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from
everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
PS 90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest,
Return, ye children of men.
PS 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as
yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

2 PETER, CHAPTER 3

81
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

2PET 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto


you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of
remembrance:
2PET 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were
spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the
commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2PET 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the
last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2PET 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of the creation.
2PET 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water:
2PET 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished:
2PET 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men.
2PET 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
2PET 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-
ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.
2PET 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up.
2PET 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all
holy conversation and godliness,
2PET 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2PET 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look
for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
2PET 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for
such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in
peace, without spot, and blameless.
2PET 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord
is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also
according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto
you;
82
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

2PET 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of


these things; in which are some things hard to be
understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction.
2PET 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these
things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the
error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2PET 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now
and for ever. Amen.

These two passages also reveal the return of our Lord Jesus
Christ in the third millennium since his resurrection, as we demonstrate below.
However, before looking at these passages, let us recall a
few other texts also taken from the Holy Book, used by Christians to justify the
soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

SIGNS ON THE EARTH


First, as is known by everyone and released long time,
there is a unanimous conviction of the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
the signs which He taught us through His earthly ministry. The beginning of
sorrows, the great tribulation, the coming of the Son of Man, call to vigilance,
are described in the first three Gospels, which then transcribe:

GOSPEL OF MATTHEW

MT 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the


prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how
often would I have gathered thy children together, even as
a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye
would not!
MT 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
MT 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord.

MT 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the


temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the
buildings of the temple.
MT 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these
things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here
one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
83
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

MT 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the


disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy
coming, and of the end of the world?
MT 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you.
MT 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.
MT 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come
to pass, but the end is not yet.
MT 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
MT 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
MT 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my
name's sake.
MT 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall
betray one another, and shall hate one another.
MT 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many.
MT 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of
many shall wax cold.
MT 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.
MT 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
MT 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the
holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
MT 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains:
MT 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down
to take any thing out of his house:
MT 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back
to take his clothes.
MT 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to
them that give suck in those days!
MT 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:
MT 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
MT 24:22 And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened.
84
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

MT 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is
Christ, or there; believe it not.
MT 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect.
MT 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
MT 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he
is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not.
MT 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
MT 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the
eagles be gathered together.
MT 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers
of the heavens shall be shaken:
MT 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man
in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great glory.
MT 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound
of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
MT 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh:
MT 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
MT 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
MT 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away.
MT 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
MT 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
MT 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
MT 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
MT 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
MT 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one
85
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

shall be taken, and the other left.


MT 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come.
MT 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come, he would
have watched, and would not have suffered his house to
be broken up.
MT 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour
as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

GOSPEL OF MARK

MK 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his


disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of
stones and what buildings are here!
MK 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou
these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone
upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
MK 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over
against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew
asked him privately,
MK 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
MK 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take
heed lest any man deceive you:
MK 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.
MK 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of
wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be;
but the end shall not be yet.
MK 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers
places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are
the beginnings of sorrows.
MK 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver
you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be
beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for
my sake, for a testimony against them.
MK 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among
all nations.
MK 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you
up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak,
neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given
you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak,
but the Holy Ghost.
MK 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to
death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up
86
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to


death.
MK 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.
MK 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing
where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,)
then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
MK 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down
into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out
of his house:
MK 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back
again for to take up his garment.
MK 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days!
MK 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
MK 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was
not from the beginning of the creation which God created
unto this time, neither shall be.
MK 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those
days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
MK 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is
Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
MK 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,
and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were
possible, even the elect.
MK 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all
things.
MK 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun
shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
MK 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the
powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
MK 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming
in the clouds with great power and glory.
MK 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from the
uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of
heaven.
MK 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is near:
MK 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these
things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the
doors.
MK 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall
not pass, till all these things be done.
87
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

MK 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my


words shall not pass away.
MK 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the
Son, but the Father.
MK 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is.
MK 13:34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his
servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the
porter to watch.
MK 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the
master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at
the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
MK 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
MK 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

GOSPEL OF LUKE

LK 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was


adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
LK 21:6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will
come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown down.
LK 21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when
shall these things be? and what sign will there be when
these things shall come to pass?
LK 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived:

Now, by reading these excerpts from the three gospels above, is that the
Christian church in its various denominations, hoping for the return soon of our
Lord Jesus Christ.

THIRD MILLENNIUM - SEVENTH MILLENNIUM


Beyond what was presented earlier, leads us to another
element of belief around the Lord Jesus in this third millennium.
It's the third millennium, just complete the work of God, for
His purpose by this third millennium is also the seventh millennium we are
living since the creation of the world, which is the millennium of the reign of
Jesus a thousand years, when there will be rest on the ground.

PSALM 90 AND THE SECOND LETTER OF PETER, CAP.


3
To facilitate understanding, I would transcribe again a few
verses of the Second Letter of Peter, chapter 3, namely:

2PET 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the
last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2PET 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men.
2PET 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.
2PET 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-
ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.
2PET 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up
2PET 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

90
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

2PET 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our


Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now
and for ever. Amen.

Here, when Peter says that a thousand years to God is like a day and one day
as a thousand years, is a prophetic phrase that combined not only with the rest
of this chapter as well as with the rest of the Holy Book tells us that the
seventh millennium is the millennium, or "DIA" the return of our Lord Jesus
Christ. When Peter uses the phrase "... in recent days is ...", as we read in the
last millennia.
Note that Chapter 3 of the Second Letter of Peter is
exactly the coming of the Lord Jesus and its significance.

Observe the following excerpts below:

MT 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,


not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
MT 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
MT 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour
as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
MK 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the
Son, but the Father.

In these passages, the word day comes bundled with the word time, ie, here it
is not the "Lord's Day" as being the prophetic sense of the seventh millennium
since the creation of the world and the third millennium of the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ but we must apply a narrow definition, ie, as being
really the time when Jesus will come, which we do not know but the Father
We understand that the word of God is true, just and true.
Nobody knows the day and hour of Jesus' coming, this is a mystery that
belongs to the Father Like our Lord Jesus prophesied signs that would precede
his return, without specifying the date and time, this paper aims to
demonstrate that our Holy Book has total harmony in all his writings, when
directed to do a reading numbers and try to understand them on their purpose
in the Holy Bible.
Why we still do not know what day and time?
It is impossible to make a chronological analysis of the Holy
Bible in an accurate, since the creation of the world. Differ several previous
studies, whether in religious or even in science. Yes we have some elements
that are peaceful, that is, the creation of the world to Abraham, it took up
about two thousand years. From Abraham to Jesus Christ, also something close
to two thousand years. Finally, yes, of Jesus Christ to our present day, it's been
two thousand and ten years.
Even in the latter period, there is correction to be made
about the exact time of birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and the beginning of the
calendar, something that varies around 4-5 years behind the calendar.
Thus, we know it's been about four thousand years during
91
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

the Old Testament and about two thousand and 10 years of Jesus until today,
that is, a period already finished six thousand years or so.
Thus, by which we present in this work, we believe that the
seventh millennium will be those in which they will consummate the work of
God according to His purpose, without, however, know exactly when this will
happen, ie, days and hours exactly. Apparently, we are already experiencing
the beginning of the seventh millennium, with Jesus at the door to return once
the signs confirmed that he actually predicted this present moment as his
back.

THE SEVENTH DAY - THE SEVENTH YEAR - THE


SEVENTH MILLENNIUM

SEVENTH DAY
“GEN 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified
it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.”

SEVENTH YEAR
LEV 25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years
thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit
thereof;
LEV 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of
rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt
neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
LEV 25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy
harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of
thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the
land.

SEVENTH MILLENNIUM
REV 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
REV 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive
the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
REV 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
92
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign


with him a thousand years.
2PET 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.

REV 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,


having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in
his hand.
REV 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
REV 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive
the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
REV 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon
their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
REV 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
REV 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in
the first resurrection: on such the second death
hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and
of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
REV 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
REV 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog,
and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the
number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
REV 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth,
and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them.
REV 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the
false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
REV 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away; and there was found no place for them.
REV 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
93
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

before God; and the books were opened: and another


book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works.
REV 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in
them: and they were judged every man according to their
works.
REV 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
REV 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

What is the reason to have this done? Well, the


answer seems obvious, as it is in their own Bible verse, or why it He rested
from all His work which God created and made.
We did this question just to show that the rest determined by God, has to do
with the making and consummation of all the work he had done.
After these six millennia since the creation of the world we see today beyond
the creation that God had accomplished in six days, also had another purpose
in his will, which was to prepare a kingdom in six millennia, whose message
was brought by his Son Jesus Christ .
Thus, just as there was a period of six days of creation, and the rest on the
seventh day, there is also the purpose of God, a period of six thousand years,
whose final objective is the establishment of his kingdom, with a period resting
on the seventh millennium. That is evidenced by reading the above verses,
the Book of Revelation.
After these six millennia, so will our Lord Jesus Christ, to reign on earth for a
thousand years. As the word reveals, this will be the seventh millennium,
regarded as the millennium of rest, once with the prison in the abyss of the
devil and Satan, will rest in the earth, for Satan can not during this period
deceive the nations, as the word (Ap.20: 3)

THE TIME OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS


Consider the following verses:

MK 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted


his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man
should take.
MK 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
MK 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was
written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
MK 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was
darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
MK 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being
94
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


MK 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they
heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
MK 15:36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar,
and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let
alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him
down.
MK 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up
the ghost.
MK 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom.

The Gospel of Mark is the only one to deal with the crucifixion of Jesus, which
explains the time that Jesus Christ was crucified. As verse 25 above, the
crucifixion occurred at the third hour. Still, according to verses 34 and 37
above, when the sixth hour there was darkness over all the earth until the
ninth hour, and also in this ninth hour, Jesus cried out saying, "God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" And, finally, then says the word he expired.

Until the last hours of her life here on Earth, the number three followed the
Lord Jesus, several times during his crucifixion.
First, early on, his crucifixion occurs in the third hour. Then, after an interval of
three hours, or the sixth hour, says the word that there was darkness over all
the earth until the ninth hour. Finally, went over an interval of three hours,
during which there was darkness over all the earth.

A revelation that God gives us in this end time is related to the period in which
Jesus was crucified. Say the word that He was crucified at the time expired on
the third and ninth hour, or operated a six-hour period during his crucifixion.
Well. We ask: What is about these six hours of the
crucifixion of Jesus Christ for the purpose of God with His plan for us?
Now we have said numerous times in this work since the creation of the world
until today, it's been about six thousand years. We also said that just as God
created all things in six days and rested on the seventh, also on the seventh
millennium will be the return of Jesus to reign a thousand years, representing
the time out of the earth.
Now, do you read the following verses:

NUM 14:33 And your children shall wander in the


wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until
your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
NUM 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye
searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year,
shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall
know my breach of promise.

95
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

We have already considered this biblical pass early this study, when the
pilgrimage of the Israelites in the desert. These verses were brought here to
demonstrate that when the disobedience of his people, for each day that the
earth was peek, God ordered a year's pilgrimage, so that for the forty days it
took forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until could enter the promised
land.

Likewise, since Adam committed the original sin, six


thousand years have passed in disobedience to God's word, six millennia of
"pilgrimage" and obey the Lord. So the word of God tells us is that for each
millennium of disobedience of his children, was represented by a time of great
pain and suffering borne by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
We need to understand this time of the end, that
references in the Holy Bible with regard to period of days, hours, etc.., Have a
prophetic sense of these mysteries whose revelations, for God's will, were
allowed to be brought at this time end.

Chapter 5

CHRONOLOGY OF THE BIBLE

After quickly reading the various texts found on the


Internet by addressing the matter, we note there is disagreement about the
dating of biblical times, both with variations more or less in quantity of years.
However, this work does not have the intention nor the
desire to obtain the exact chronology of the Bible, since that only God has it,
just to confirm the prophecy brought by our Lord Jesus when he said that no
one knows the day nor the hour the great day, but the Father

Present, however, below a chronological framework since

96
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Adam's creation, which reflects the biblical period, with small variations of
dates in relation to other chronological tables.

97
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Written Revelation (the last book of the Bible, John - 96 AD


the Apostle)

Death of John the Apostle - 100 AD

As the table shows, we have a period of approximately 4000 years before the
birth of Jesus Christ, divided into two periods of about 2000 each. The first
period runs from Adam to Abraham, and the second period goes from
Abraham to the birth of Jesus Christ. Thus, even Jesus Christ are in addition to
approximately 4000 years. Again the four appears in history as a waiting
period, ie, humans have waited four thousand years for light to come into the
world.
Since the birth of Jesus Christ, it took a little over 2000
years, which added to 4000 years before their birth, resulting in a total period
of 6,000 years.
We are currently in the early seventh millennium since the
creation of the world. As we said in this work, the number seven for God,
represents a period of rest, contemplation. In creation, God rested on the
seventh day. For the people of Israel, God also established a year of rest unto
the land. We believe that for the seventh millennium will also rest for the land.
And this will occur precisely with the return of Jesus Christ
and his reign a thousand years to complete so the seven thousand years of
God's purpose. When the apocalypse 20, says that the Devil and Satan will be
bound a thousand years, and cast into the abyss, that no longer deceive the
nations until the thousand years were finished, I mean that in these one
thousand years on earth have a rest.
However, even with this revelation confirms the prophecy
of Jesus Christ, because nobody knows the day nor the hour in which he will
return, just because it is God's purpose.
The chronology of the Bible does not allow us to specify
your dates, whose mystery only belongs to the Father, just as we can also
calculate the number of grains of sand of the sea or the number of stars in the
sky. We must understand that certain things, only the Father knows and not
revealed to us know.

Chronological data in the Good Book

Early in my Christian walk, where he performed the reading of the Holy Bible,
especially the Book of Genesis, I was impressed with the age that was
assigned by God to the people who lived then.
98
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

However, when searching the Internet corresponding to the Old Testament, we


find that the telling of that period was only possible because of the
construction of a family tree of the characters of the Bible at that time.
Performing the sum of their ages is what led us to conclude that since the
creation of the world until the birth of Jesus Christ, went into a period of
approximately four thousand years. When he had already written almost every
chapter of this work, God gave me to understand then why be in the Old
Testament, such information on the ages of the characters of that era.
And the reason is simple: the Bible had not made reference to the age of the
characters of that era would not be possible today to draw from the Holy Book,
the six thousand years have passed since the creation of the world.
Given the revelation of mysteries reserved for this end time, God has
determined to enter the Holy Book, information necessary for us to
understand the will of the Father
We also understand that the word of God has a specific purpose as the period
in which it is presented. Until the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth, God gave to
His people to understand what was needed at that moment. And what was the
understanding given that opportunity? The promise to the patriarchs.
With the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, then God has extended the
understanding of His purpose as the word brought by His Son. And now what
was the understanding granted? The consummation of the promise. For Jesus
said:

LK 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words


which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all
things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of
Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning
me.

Finally, after more than two thousand years of the


resurrection of Jesus Christ, which the understanding that God has reserved
for this time of the end? The return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He even said so
prophetic:

LK 12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a


cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There
cometh a shower; and so it is.
LK 12:55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say,
There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
LK 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky
and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this
time?

We learn from this passage, that from the moment


it is granted to humans, prior knowledge of certain information, he can discern
about future events. However, because of all the existing content in the Holy

99
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Bible, plus the confirmation of the signs revealed by Jesus, then we were
allowed to understand the timing of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Chapter 6

DIVINE NUMBER

INTRODUCTION

Besides the presentation of this work about the numbers


that are present in the Holy Bible and its importance and significance for this
end time, we will demonstrate how the numbers were also used by God at the
creation of all things.
Called as the number of gold, among other names, this
number is present in nature, architecture, music, geometry, etc..
The number of gold is no more than a numerical value
whose approximate value is 1.618.
This irrational number is considered by many the symbol of
harmony. The Greek school of Pythagoras studied and observed many
relationships and numerical models that appear in nature, beauty, aesthetics,
and other musical harmony, but probably most important is the golden ratio,
divine ratio or divine proportion.
To divide a line segment AB into two parts, we would have
a multitude of ways to do so. There is one, however, that seems more pleasing
100
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

to the eye, as if translated to a harmonious working of our senses. For this


division, the German mathematician Zeizing formulated in 1855, the following
principle:

"For a whole divided into two unequal parts look nice from the standpoint of
form, should present the lowest and highest part of the same relationship
between this and the whole."

The story of this enigmatic number is lost in antiquity. In


Egypt, for example, the pyramids of Giza were built according to the golden
ratio: the ratio of the height of a face and half the base side of the Great
Pyramid is equal to the number of gold.
Built for many hundreds of years later, around 447 and 433
BC, the Greek Parthenon, temple representative of the Age of Pericles contains
the reason of Gold in the rectangle that contains the facade, which shows the
desire to achieve a beautiful and harmonious work . Phidias was the sculptor
and architect in charge of construction of this temple. The term adjusted for
the number of gold is the original name of the architect - the Greek letter Φ
(Phi caps).
Greeks also considered the rectangle whose sides had this
relationship had a special aesthetic harmony and called it the golden rectangle
golden rectangle or, considering this as an exceptional virtue harmony.
Likewise, in Renaissance painting stands out for one of the
most famous paintings of Leonardo da Vinci: the Mona Lisa, which presents
the Golden Rectangle in multiple locations: (a) drawing a rectangle around the
face of the resulting rectangle is a Golden rectangle, (b) dividing this rectangle
with a line through the eyes, the new rectangle is also achieved Gold and (c)
the dimensions of the frame also represents the ratio of Gold.

IN NATURE
The mystery and charm that is associated with this number exceeds the
limited horizon of all that is human! In nature in many situations we can
observe the presence of this number. Here are some examples that leave us
perplexed and amazed:

In the human body

One area that was Leonardo da Vinci studied the proportions of the human
body and here again we have reason to Gold:

In this study it appears that the proportions of the human


body contain the ratio of Gold. In this case we can see the

101
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

symmetry in the face of a man drawn by Leonardo. The artist superimposed


on the painting a square divided by rectangles, some of which with the
approximate ratio of gold.

Yet not long ago a guy went to the Society of Fibonacci with
a curious request: He asked the couples to participate in an experiment. For
that asked husbands to them to measure the height of the woman's navel and
divide by its height. The individual states that all couples in the ratio was
about 0.618.
We know that for the ancient Greeks, a person would be
considered beautiful if it possessed a pattern related to the number 1,618.
Thus, we consider 1.83 m as the standard measure.

Let us look, therefore, the following figure:

Figure - Dimensions harmonics (aureus) of the human body.

To divide 1.83 m (total height C) 1.131 m (distance from


the navel to the soles of your feet U), we obtain as the reason, the number of
gold. Also obtain this number by dividing the distance from forehead to chin
(X), the distance from ear to chin (Y). So too will happen, when we relate the
total length of the arm (B) with the distance from elbow to tip of middle finger
(D). It may be noted then that there is a measure of harmony in the
constitution of the human body.

IN PLANTS
102
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

In plants, various animals and in many other situations we


are confronted with the presence of this enigmatic number. Their presence can
be direct or be camouflaged or associated with the Fibonacci sequence.
This is the case of sunflowers that belong to the
Compositae family. The seeds form two sets of logarithmic spirals in different
directions.
The number of seeds of each set is different, but they are
two consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
The same happens with pinecones.

In general, the pattern of plant development may be


related to the Fibonacci number.
For example spurge, a small blue or white flower that is
found in calcareous, has two large sepals, three small sepals, five petals and
stamens 8.

103
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Jasmine:
We can perceive the presence of the golden number through the jasmine
flower, is given below. It is represented the pentagram, symbol of the
Pythagorean school. By the theorem of mean and extreme ratio of segments,
the number will reach 1,618.

Figure – The jasmine and the representation of the pentagram in its


constitution.

Other flowers also have a structure similar, like lilies and petunias, among
others. Other beings also have this characteristic. The star-fish, aquatic
animal, is a classic example.

BEEHIVE:
Beehive is the name given to a colony of bees or the shelter built for or by
bees.
Hive bees use to shelter their offspring, creating them and store honey.
Domesticated bees have built their hives in apiaries. A hive usually has 80
thousand bees, most of whom are females (workers). The number of females
and males is given by the number of gold (divine proportion).

FINAL
Reported in this study, a brief summary of the number of gold, to show his
constant presence not only in nature but also in other fields such as
architecture, music, geometry, etc.. We highlight some examples where the
number gold presents itself in our day to day, to clarify their relevance in our
world.

But might ask yourself: What is the relationship of this work that addresses the
biblical numbers to the study of the number of gold?

Numbers in the Bible and the end time

It is found that the seginte: Just as God is used in the Sacred Book of the
numbers to determine their purpose, since the creation of the world until the
installation of His Kingdom, so too does the order to be used in their creative
works.
When God created things in heaven and on earth, is how we imagined at the
time of creation, He also determined that such works were subject to given
constraints, ie: it creates human beings, plants, animals, etc.., and after your
voice command, everything is subject according to what He has appointed.
The number of gold is one such control, ie to make everything according to
your desire, the growth of man, plants, animals, must occur according to a
divine proportion (golden number).
As we said earlier, this divine proportion translates to a harmonious working of
our senses. In summary, the work of God.
We must realize that the discoveries made by man, are nothing more than a
revelation given by God at some designated time according to your purpose.
It's like refletíssemos: Children during their growth, they find things they wish
or things are revealed to them as the moment that they are prepared to
understand them?

CHAPTER 7

BOOK FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE TIME


When I started preparing this study, was not yet in my mind the knowledge of
what was presented here. Over the course of preparation of this work, we are
adding what we understood to be God's will. When however, had traveled all
the verses that we felt needed to make this work, I started thinking about how
the closure would make this work. It was then that God showed me the verses
that we transcribe below:

DAN 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal
the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to
and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
DAN 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O
my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
DAN 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words
are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
DAN 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and
tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the
wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
REV 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him,
Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and
eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be
in thy mouth sweet as honey.
REV 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as
honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
REV 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and
kings.
REV 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of
the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
REV 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let
him be holy still.
REV 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

(Daniel 12:4) - E tu, Daniel, encerra estas palavras e sela


este livro, até ao fim do tempo; muitos correrão de uma
parte para outra, e o conhecimento se multiplicará.

106
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

(Daniel 12:8) - Eu, pois, ouvi, mas não entendi; por isso
eu disse: Senhor meu, qual será o fim destas coisas?
(Daniel 12:9) - E ele disse: Vai, Daniel, porque estas
palavras estão fechadas e seladas até ao tempo do fim.
(Daniel 12:10) - Muitos serão purificados, e
embranquecidos, e provados; mas os ímpios procederão
impiamente, e nenhum dos ímpios entenderá, mas os
sábios entenderão.

(Apocalipse 10:9) - E fui ao anjo, dizendo-lhe: Dá-me o


livrinho. E ele disse-me: Toma-o, e come-o, e ele fará
amargo o teu ventre, mas na tua boca será doce como
mel.
(Apocalipse 10:10) - E tomei o livrinho da mão do anjo, e
comi-o; e na minha boca era doce como mel; e, havendo-o
comido, o meu ventre ficou amargo.
(Apocalipse 10:11) - E ele disse-me: Importa que
profetizes outra vez a muitos povos, e nações, e línguas e
reis.
(Apocalipse 22:10) - E disse-me: Não seles as palavras
da profecia deste livro; porque próximo está o
tempo.
(Apocalipse 22:11) - Quem é injusto, faça injustiça ainda; e
quem está sujo, suje-se ainda; e quem é justo, faça justiça
ainda; e quem é santo, seja santificado ainda.
(Apocalipse 22:12) - E, eis que cedo venho, e o meu
galardão está comigo, para dar a cada um segundo a sua
obra.

During the period in which the prophet Daniel lived,


he wanted to understand things at that moment that you were not allowed,
because they were booked and sealed to be understood in the end time.
Later, after Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, the Lord said to John in
Revelation, for it does not seal the words of the prophecy of that book,
because the end time was near.
But undoubtedly, we are living the end time. Minimum values of a decent
society are almost destroyed. The family, a body that God created and
blessed, base of support for a balanced relationship between humans, is
heading for its total destruction. Soon, the book that was sealed once and now
is no longer closed. Everything that we present, we believe that was granted
by God, by his permission, that were brought to light the humanity, for
information at the present time.
And what is the purpose of God for these revelations came to our attention
these days?
Among others, two purposes are of paramount importance, if not essential to
motivate these revelations:
The first to be demonstrated to the people of this time, the perfect harmony
that is in the Holy Book, the integration that exists in biblical texts, from
107
Numbers in the Bible and the end time

Genesis to Revelation. This is for humanity to recognize the perfection that is


the word of God, although in recent centuries, have made a real retaliation for
the word of God to the satisfaction of earthly interests, without their
commitment to the spiritual realm, which belongs to God . Thus, these
revelations come with the purpose of showing that the word of God is living
and eternal, because He will fulfill everything we promised.
The second purpose and most important of all is to, once again demonstrated
the momentum that is in the word of God, seek the repentance of the people,
so they accept and confess the Lord Jesus Christ as the only Savior of their
lives.

2PET 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as


some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-
ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.

REV 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is


with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
REV 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I
come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
