The number 16

 

Amos 3:7

King James Version

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, 

but he revealeth his secret 

unto his servants the prophets.


SPIRIT woke me up very early this morning.

We were to share a post we had written last night.

As we were sharing it with the world, we listened to a Missler sermon.

And another curious number combination came up --

 "16:16"


through a verse quoted by Missler:

Revelation 16:16

King James Version

16 And he gathered them together 

into a place called in the Hebrew tongue 

Armageddon.


That wiped all thoughts of going back to sleep.

SPIRIT made me search Scripture for this new number combination.

So, we searched the Bible for every 16th verse.

From every 16th chapter.

This post practically wrote itself.

Here's what we found:

Genesis 16:16

King James Version

16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, 

when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.


Exodus 16:16

King James Version

16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, 

Gather of it every man according to his eating, 

an omer for every man, 

according to the number of your persons; 

take ye every man for them which are in his tents.


Leviticus 16:16

King James Version

16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, 

because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, 

and because of their transgressions in all their sins: 

and so shall he do for the tabernacle 

of the congregation, that remaineth among them 

in the midst of their uncleanness.


Numbers 16:16

King James Version

16 And Moses said unto Korah, 

Be thou and all thy company before the Lord, 

thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:


Deuteronomy 16:16

King James Version

16 Three times in a year 

shall all thy males appear 

before the Lord thy God 

in the place which he shall choose; 

in the feast of unleavened bread, 

and in the feast of weeks, 

and in the feast of tabernacles: 

and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:


Judges 16:16

King James Version

16 And it came to pass, 

when she pressed him daily with her words, 

and urged him, 

so that his soul was vexed unto death;


1 Samuel 16:16

King James Version

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, 

which are before thee, 

to seek out a man, 

who is a cunning player on an harp: 

and it shall come to pass, 

when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, 

that he shall play with his hand, 

and thou shalt be well.


2 Samuel 16:16

King James Version

16 And it came to pass, 

when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, 

was come unto Absalom, 

that Hushai said unto Absalom,

 God save the king, God save the king.


1 Kings 16:16

King James Version

16 And the people that were encamped heard say, 

Zimri hath conspired, 

and hath also slain the king: 

wherefore all Israel made Omri, 

the captain of the host, 

king over Israel that day in the camp.

according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

which he made with Abraham, 

and of his oath unto Isaac;


Job 16:16

King James Version

and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;


Proverbs 16:16

King James Version

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! 

and to get understanding 

rather to be chosen than silver!


Jeremiah 16:16

King James Version

16 Behold, 

I will send for many fishers, 

saith the Lord, 

and they shall fish them; 

and after will I send for many hunters, 

and they shall hunt them from every mountain, 

and from every hill, 

and out of the holes of the rocks.


Ezekiel 16:16

King James Version

16 And of thy garments thou didst take, 

and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, 

and playedst the harlot thereupon: 

the like things shall not come, 

neither shall it be so.

Thou art the Christ, 

the Son of the living God.

since that time the kingdom of God is preached, 

and every man presseth into it.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: 

and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, 

because I go to the Father.


Acts 16:16

King James Version

16 And it came to pass, 

as we went to prayer, 

a certain damsel possessed 

with a spirit of divination met us, 

which brought her masters much gain 

by soothsaying:


Romans 16:16

King James Version

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. 

The churches of Christ salute you.


1 Corinthians 16:16

King James Version

16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, 

and to every one that helpeth with us, 

and laboureth.


We shall write another post, connecting all those verses.

For now, we will let everything sink in, and have SPIRIT guide us.

As this is a blog on "GOD's numbers", let's have a look at what "Keys to Scripture Numerics" has to say about the number "16".

We learn that it refers to "LOVE":

"This number is found 23 times in the Bible. 

There are SIXTEEN times in the Bible 

we find JEHOVAH TITLES."


JESUS, Who taught us about love, commands us:

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.


Scripture has much to say about "love".

Also called "charity" in the King James Version.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

King James Version

13 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.

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.

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.


As born again, I'm alert to everything SPIRIT teaches me.

I wouldn't want to miss out on a thing.

Especially in these last days.

This post is RICH in clues.

I expect to be writing more articles.

And will share, soon as we do.
