He's a man who is often either paid very little attention to or seen in a bad light, but Lot is one of those men in the Bible to whom more attention should be given. In this introduction to a new study I'm undertaking, we're going to start our travel through the life of Lot... Continue Reading →
What does 7 mean in the Bible? – The Genesis Numbers
We are finally here! The final day of creation! Thus far we have worked our way forward systematically looking at each day of Creation and how that day has a relevance to the understood meaning of that number throughout Scripture. On this final day of Creation in which nothing actually happens, we come to one... Continue Reading →
What does 6 Mean in the Bible? – The Genesis Numbers
The number 6 is perhaps one of the better known numbers in the Bible, or should we say, notorious numbers, thanks to its association with the number of the beast in Revelations: 666. Many will quickly tell you that 6 means imperfection and by implication, sin; but what does the Bible have to say about... Continue Reading →
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...

Meaning of Four – the Genesis Numbers
Before I start, I wish to make something clear about this series. I am not claiming this is definitively what the Bible teaches. I do not believe there is sufficient evidence for such a statement.

As we are now up to... Continue Reading →
Psalms 80:1 (the rest of it)
Psa 80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. I did attempt to cover this verse in a previous post, but I ended up covering just two words. Lord willing, this... Continue Reading →
The Meaning of Two – Numbers in Genesis
Since writing about the meaning of the number one in the Bible, I've since learnt more about it that may prompt me to go back and write more. For now, as we have a look at the number two, an important thing to keep in mind is the primary meaning of the number one, self-existence.... Continue Reading →
God of the Storm
In Genesis 1:2, a short description is given to us of the earth before the days of creation begin. It's described as being without form and empty with darkness and deep waters. The original word for 'deep' which is used in the passage means 'abyss' and comes from another word meaning 'to make an uproar'.... Continue Reading →
The Meaning of One – Numbers in Genesis
The following series is my attempt to explain what I believe provides the key to understanding the symbolic use of numbers in the Bible, both in prophecy and in Proverbs. As this series is my first attempt to outline my thoughts and reasoning on the subject, it may be a bit winding, but hopefully will... Continue Reading →
