The Meaning of the Number 5 – The Genesis Numbers
Welcome back to the Genesis numbers! Today we're going to have a look at the number and day 5. The commonly accepted meaning for Five is grace, which I believe is correct to a certain extent, though if you were to try finding why, all the places I read didn't explain why, in fact they...
