406- Biblical Numerology

06/23/23 • 15 min

Have you ever noticed that certain numbers in the Bible repeat? The number 7 and 40 are found in numerous places. What are we to glean from this repetition of numbers? Is numerology a study that should be applied to the Bible?
The most important question, of course is not answered in being in awe of numbers but of the creator!
We are rounding out the season of random things in the Bible with looking at these questions.

405 The Law

Has your yearly reading plan ever died in Leviticus? No one likes to read rule books and manuals. Some of these laws seem seriously archaic and irrelevant. Let's take a closer look at why the law is in our bibles. It is actually a large section of scripture that goes through several books. We also are going to look at NT scripture and what Jesus said about the law. Finally, how did Paul guide us to use the law for relationships and not for legalism?

Scripture References:
Jesus says that He fulfills the law: Matthew 5:17
Matthew 22- Jesus comments on the law and gives the “great commandment”
