STUDY OF NUMBERS 6 & 7

Six is the number of imperfection--The number of man, as imperfect and destitute of God.

Not having trusted Christ, man is totally without hope. Man was created on the sixth day,

Genesis Chapter one. Six marks the completion of creation of God's work. The sixth

commandment relates to the worst sin, murder. Six time Jesus is charged with having a

devil; Matthew 12:24 and Mark 3:22 both speak of the same account; 1. "He hath beelzebub."

 2. John 7:20, "Thou hast a devil." 3. John 8:48, "Say we not well that.. Thou hast a devil?"

 4. John 8:52, "Now we know that Thou hast a devil." 5. John 10:20, "He hath a devil, and is

mad." 6. Luke 11:15, "He casteth out devils by beelzebub." I absolutely refuse to capitalize any

word that has to do with the devil, he is undeserving of it. The devil is our worst enemy. I will

not give him the honor of capitalizing his name. Number Seven speaks of Spiritual Perfection,

it is the Divine number, God's number. God rested from His work of creation on the Seventh Day

after His six days of creating. Genesis 12:2-3; Abraham's seven fold blessing of God;

1. I will make thee a great nation; 2. And I will bless thee; 3. And make thy name great; 4. And

thou shalt be a blessing; 5. And I will bless them that bless thee; 6. And curse him that curseth

thee; 7. And in thee shalt all the families of the earth be blessed. Galatians 3:13-14, "Christ hath

redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is

every one that hangeth on a tree. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles

through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Verse 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."

The bottom line is, the Seed (Christ) the Redeemer was promised and He came at the appointed

time to seek and to save that which was lost, accomplishing His mission on the Cross of Calvary.

He took our place and died for our sins. Thank God He arose for our justification and all who trust

Him as their personal Savior are justified, saved by His Grace through faith in Him. Seven miracles

of Jesus in John's gospel; 1. Chapter 2, The water turned to wine (unfermented); 2. Chapter 4,

The nobleman's son healed; 3. Chapter 5, The healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda;

 4. Chapter 6, The feeding of 5,000 +; 5. Chapter 9, Man born blind, given sight; 6. Chapter 11,

The raising of Lazarus; 7. Chapter 21, The drought of fishes. John 21:25, "And there are also many

other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the

world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
