Study

When we accept Christ as our savior, we enter into a bond with him. This bond is like a marriage and can be broken just like a marriage. If we decide we do not love or believe in Him anymore the bond is broken. This bond is also considered a blood convenient. Because of the blood shed on the cross for us to obtain salvation. Christ never breaks this bond, it is us who do so when we decide not to believe in him. We make the decision to break(lose salvation) what was given to us by Christ. God always holds up his end of the bargain.

           Falling from Grace!

To believe or not to believe is still a condition for being saved. If I get saved but then choose not to believe anymore then I no longer meet the condition for being saved. Though Grace gives us time to repent and turn back, but even Grace runs out.

Numbers are used through out the word of God. In pursuing the study, we will find there are certain rules and laws governing Bible Arithmetic.

1) All simple numbers from 1 to 40 have a spiritual meaning attached to them. Above 40 only a certain group of numbers will have a special spiritual meaning applied to them.

2) Numbers compounded of these numbers, e.g., by doubling or triplling, generally carry the same spiritual meaning only intensified.

3) Numbers compounded by adding two simple numbers together, usually carry two separate meanings, of such numbers, expressed together, bringing out a deeper spiritual truth.

4) Where a compound number is divisible by several factors, it will usually be found that it's spiritual truth is hidden behind the simplest factors, that is, those which are incapable of further division.

5) The first use of a number in scripture almost invariably gives a clue to it's spiritual meaning.

6) A spiritual truth does not appear to be evidence in respect of every place where a number appears.

7) Numbers are used to convey spiritual truths in at least three ways: a) By the actual use of a number. b) By the numbers of times a special word or phrase is used by the Holy Spirit. c) By the gem atria or numerical value of a word or phrase.

Now to see how numbers, in the word of God, apply to 6 day creation.

One is the number for unity. Genesis 1:1-5. The part of creation that first comes together. Unity is also important in Bible doctrine. It symbolizes the UNITY OF GOD. It stands for that which was unique and alone. It being a prime number, this naturally signifies a beginning. Hence, ONE, in scripture, stands for source, unity, sovereignty, creation, and chiefly God. God also being the first person in the trinity (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit).

Ge 1:1	In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Ge 1:2	And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Ge 1:3	And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Ge 1:4	And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Ge 1:5	And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Two is the number of division. Genesis 1:6-8, God divides or separates* things. So ends day two.

Ge 1:6	And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Ge 1:7	And God made the firmament, and divided* the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Ge 1:8	And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Three is the number of resurrection, Divine completeness and perfection. Genesis 1:9-13, God resurrects life from his creation. The earth is now finished or completed, it's life, that grows from it, and it's form, is done. So ends day three. This also coincides with Christ's resurrection on the third day giving us life.

Ge 1:9	And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Ge 1:10	And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:11	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Ge 1:12	And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:13	And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Four is the number of creation of everything that so far does not require the blood of life. Genesis 1:14-19. All of the stars, planets etc... are now completed.

Ge 1:14	And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Ge 1:15	And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Ge 1:16	And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Ge 1:17	And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Ge 1:18	And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:19	And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Four also applies to:

1) Four regions; North, South, East, West.
2) Four elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water.
3) Four Seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.
4) Four kingdoms; Mineral, vegetable, animal, spiritual.
5) Four winds; from the four directions of this earth as mentioned in the word of God.
6) Four divisions of our day; morning, noon, evening, and night.
7) Four phases of the moon; 1st quarter, new moon, last quarter, and full moon.
8) Leap years, Years that can be divided by four. There are three rules to a leap year.

Five is the number for God's grace or goodness. We have the five offerings: 1) The burnt offering, 2) The peace offering, 3) The sin offering (which goes along with the 3rd day resurrection), 4) The trespass offering, and 5) The meat offering... To have these offerings, you have to have a blood sacrifice for atonement of sin. So on the fifth day, God created the animals(Genesis 1:20-23) so that His grace through offerings could be manifested.

Ge 1:20	And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Ge 1:21	And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:22	And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Ge 1:23	And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

In matthew 14:17, And they say unto him, We have here but FIVE loaves, and TWO fishes.... Jesus only had this to feed over 5000 people. Five is for God's grace or goodness. Add two and you get God's perfect number seven. Seven also means completeness and rest. 

In Matthew 14:20, And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Because five was the number of grace or goodness of God, Seven (the two fishes and five loaves) are added to five to get twelve as in twelve basket full.
Notice also that it was on the fifth day that God created the fish (Genesis 1:21).

Six is the number of: weakness of man, evils of Satan (666), and manifestation of sin. All of this came about through the creation of man. Genesis 1:24-31. Man is what Satan used to manifest his evil (sin) through.

Ge 1:24	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Ge 1:25	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:26	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
