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.

King James Version

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, 

according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

which he made with Abraham, 

and of his oath unto Isaac;

Job 16:16

King James Version

16 My face is foul with weeping, 

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.

The ELEVENTH hour

 

JESUS commands:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Is it really the "eleventh hour"?

You know, what Merriam-Webster calls:

"the latest possible time before it is too late"

I don't know about you, but this much I know.

Every new morning is PURE GRACE from GOD.

The Rapture could happen, any moment GOD chooses.

That's why we keep sharing the gospel with you.

I was supposed to have slept already by 10 p.m.

Thing is, I kept tossing, and turning.

I had already said my prayers, why the restlessness?

Unable to sleep any longer, I decided to check the time.

The phone said 23:11 p.m.

Of course, that's 11:11 p.m.

All thoughts of sleep went out the window.

For I had "filed" in my mind my "CURIOUS 11:11".

An article SPIRIT and I had written on 20 July 2021.

It was time to re-read it.

Not that anything needed changing.

More like, it's more timely than ever.

SPIRIT also had me write yesterday the "11th apostle" chosen by JESUS.

He led me to what happens to Canaanites in the end.

And yet, JESUS chose one to be His apostle.

It just shows GOD sees the heart.

And the heart of that apostle was right.

Because I was unable to sleep anymore, SPIRIT led me to do another thing.

We studied a link, attached to that "curious" article.

A very important link, mind you.

Something I had not looked into yet.

Until now, nearly THREE years after.

"Lesson 10: Focus on the Middle East"

Lo, and behold!

That was EXACTLY the information I needed.

Something we all need to know.

The short version of the history of Israel.

And the plight, and future, of  Jerusalem.

Biblically.

That's why I love SPIRIT, so much!

He gives me EXACTLY the information I need.

At EXACTLY the moment He thinks I should.

In EXACTLY the manner He knows I can tackle.

In these turbulent days, our best Teacher is SPIRIT.

JESUS assured us of that:

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

To make sense of this world, you need to be born again.

SPIRIT will teach you everything you need to know.

That you may be ready for that 11th hour.

The frogs are still croaking.

The rooster has crowed.

It's 2:33 a.m.

Sleep calls.

The number 42

 

Psalm 90:11

King James Version

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? 

even according to thy fear, 

so is thy wrath.

What's three-and-a-half years?

That's a total of 42 months.

Also, 1,290 days.

What has Bible prophecy got to do with it?

Surely, it's of great significance.

These intriguing verses came up.

Daniel 7:25

King James Version

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, 

and shall wear out the saints of the most High, 

and think to change times and laws: 

and they shall be given into his hand 

until a time and times 

and the dividing of time*.

Daniel 12:7

King James Version

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, 

which was upon the waters of the river, 

when he held up his right hand and his left hand 

unto heaven, 

and sware by him that liveth for ever 

that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; 

and when he shall have accomplished 

to scatter the power of the holy people, 

all these things shall be finished.

Daniel 12:11

King James Version

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice 

shall be taken away, 

and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, 

there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Luke 4:25

King James Version

25 But I tell you of a truth, 

many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, 

when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, 

when great famine was throughout all the land;

James 5:17

King James Version

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, 

and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: 

and it rained not on the earth 

by the space of three years and six months.

Revelation 11:2

King James Version

2 But the court which is without the temple 

leave out, and measure it not; 

for it is given unto the Gentiles: 

and the holy city shall they tread under foot 

forty and two months.

Revelation 11:3

King James Version

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses,

 and they shall prophesy 

a thousand two hundred and threescore days, 

clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:14

King James Version

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, 

that she might fly into the wilderness,

 into her place, where she is nourished 

for a time, and times, and half a time, 

from the face of the serpent.

Revelation 13:5

King James Version

5 And there was given unto him a mouth 

speaking great things and blasphemies; 

and power was given unto him 

to continue forty and two months.

The chapters from these verses deserve deeper study.

As they say, "we've barely scratched the surface".

Scripture has really much to say about GOD's love, power, and wrath.

All have been prophesied.

We all need to look into it.

In addition, Ed. F. Vallowe's "Keys to Scripture Numerics" declares the number 42 as "ISRAEL's OPPRESSION" and the "LORD'S ADVENT".

The "advent" would be CHRIST's second coming.

*NOTE: "a time and times and the dividing of time" means:

Daniel 7:25

International Children’s Bible

25 This king will say things against the Most High God. 

And he will hurt and kill God’s people. 

He will try to change times and laws 

that have already been set. 

The people that belong to God 

will be in that king’s power 

for three and one-half years.
