This web page
presents a view of
some physical and spiritual attributes God has revealed in His works of
the Creation and His administration
of His
marvelous ways. The Bible portrays many of these ways
through beauty, patterns, symbols, poetic language, prophetic
insights to foresee and foretell, graphic expressions, historic
accounts, mysteries, parables, hidden covering and enlightenment.
The
information
within
this
page
witnesses
to these
"marvelous wonders" and expresses what an awesome living Lord of
diversity we serve! It is our heart's desire that through
the following small sampling
of God' s works and ways you will find intrigue and insightful delight
as we honor, exalt, glorify and magnify our King of Glory!
=================================
Transversing
two
realms!
In
Ecclesiastes 4:12, we
find formulas demonstrating both physical and spiritual
realities for the power of
1, the power of
2, and the
power of 3.
Numerical
language is demonstrational as physical and as
spiritual language. Spiritual
numerical language unlocks secrets to
the Kingdom of God.
Numerical language is not doctrine. It is not numerology.
It is one (1) of God's ways to express relational realities.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 contains 3
examples of the powers expressed
and demonstrated in numbers. Three (3)
numbers are sited.
Consider the third power of Ecclesiastes
4:12b
"threefold
cord is not quickly broken." KJV
{within 3-fold entwined strands}
It speaks of
exponential power and strength above and beyond the
strength and power of a
single strand or a double strand to do "work"...
to accomplish a task.
This is an application
of 3 to the 3rd power ( 33
).
Herein we can see
by symbolization,
demonstrational spiritual and
physical realities...
(Note: These
realities are of "relational values, the strands are entwined.)
A visual example schematic may be viewed
on Home Page
010101.com
Let us look at some other expressions of relational
realities.
ie. Godhead: Father,
Son and
Holy Spirit
ie. Mankind:
Spirit, Soul and
Body
ie. On Mount of
Transfiguration: spiritual realm...Moses, Elijah and Christ
physical realm...Peter, John and James
The correlations both
in the physical lives (realities) and the spiritual lives
(realities) of
these two sets of three individuals on the mount of transfiguration
reveals glorious dynamic powers of
God.
Of note, each
person in the course of their lives demonstrated the miraculous.
An indepth study of their lives will
result in multiple correlations of both physical and spiritual
realities that are applicable to us today. They enable us to "see"
through the "eyes of understanding" dimensionally into
realms of Heaven's sphere in earth and in heaven.
The Kingdom of God is Here on earth, today!
We are living in Messiah's
Day, the reign of the Christ who is sitting on the eternal throne
promised to
King David regarding his seed, a promised son.
This very Day, through the birth, life, crucifixion, burial,
resurrection,
ascension and enthronement of Jesus, as the son physically
promised to David and born through his
lineage
and as the Son of God born of the Spirit in the Resurrection , we have
access
to the promise of both the spiritually transformed life on earth and
the physically
transfigured life into eternal spiritual existence to dwell in the
Light of the Father,
Son and the Holy Spirit. Grasp this reality! We do not have
to wait until physical death to live in their
LIGHT!
It is a "Way" of God to give more than we can ever ask, pray or think!
The Light of Truth, Light of Life and Light of the Spirit are realities
manifest to us by God's promise!
John 14:6 AMP
6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the
Life;
no one comes to the Father
except by (through) Me.
1. Way
2. Truth
3. Life
These are not independent of each other... they are relational !
Deuteronomy
32:30 demonstrates the power of
1
which disperses
1000
opposing
forces whereas the exponential power within 2 disperses
10,000.
It is
Moses who prophetically declared these powers
by the Word of the
Spirit!
The number 3 is used extensively in the Bible.
Exponentially,
the power of 3 is magnified! ( 33
)
God is magnified in Heaven and in Earth!
Father, Son & Holy Spirit,
(3) yet they are (1) one. We will search the marvelous wonders of
this "trilogy in one" in our study as we conclude the web page.
(1st
power) 3x3 = 9 (2nd power) 3x9 =
27 (3rd power) 3x27 = 81
The numbers 1 and 8 are seen represented in demonstrational power and
relational power in
the "Ways" of God.
Hold on to
your "hats" as we "ride" the mighty "wind" of the Holy Spirit!
Numbers are used as language. They are seen both in the physical and
the spiritual realms. The Bible
in it's printed authorized King James version text demonstrates both
realms.
The
center of the Bible is Psalm 118.
There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118
and 594
chapters after Psalm 118.
(594 +
594= 1188)
The
center verse in the Bible is Psalm 118:8
God is in
the center of all things!
Let us consider
some more absolutely awesome realities in God's genius formulation of
numerical language focusing on
the number 1 and the number 8.
Here
is
an
interesting
and
lovely
way to look at the beauty of exponential
powers as given through (1) language of God, the sum of all wonders!
The
Beauty
of
Relational
Numbers
(1 x 9) + 2 = 11
(12 x 9) + 3 = 111
(123 x 9) + 4 = 1111
(1234 x 9) + 5 = 11111
(12345
x 9) + 6 = 111111
(123456 x 9) + 7 = 1111111
(1234567 x 9) + 8 = 11111111
(12345678 x 9) + 9 = 111111111
(123456789 x 9) +10= 1111111111
Note
the vertical column of 9
9 is the divine attribute of
spiritual demonstration:
9
Gifts of Spirit; 9 Fruit of the Spirit
The power 1 is His number of
Unity Gen. 1:26
(1 x 1) = 1
(11 x
11) = 121
(111 x
111) = 12321
(1111 x
1111) = 1234321
(11111 x
11111) = 123454321
(111111
x 111111) = 12345654321
(1111111
x 1111111) = 1234567654321
(11111111

11111111)
=
123456787654321
(111111111
x
111111111)
=
12345678987654321
Note
the uniformity of the sequences.
and
that the vertical column
is
administrated in 9 of these sequences.
A
relational value:
a spiritually "born again"
individual in the physical realm
may demonstrate through the
spiritual realm
the manifestation of the working presence of the Holy Spirit:
(9) Gifts of the Spirit and (9) Fruit of the Spirit.
Relationally: 9 + 9 = 18
Exponentially: 9 x 9 = 81
And, look at
this symmetry:
(1
x
8)
+
1 = 9
(12 x 8) + 2 = 98
(123 x 8) + 3 = 987
(1234 x 8) + 4 = 9876
(12345 x 8) + 5 = 98765
(123456 x 8) + 6 = 987654
(1234567 x 8) + 7 = 9876543
(12345678 x 8) + 8 = 98765432
(123456789 x 8) + 9 = 987654321
Note the numerical relationships
of
both the vertical and horizontal sequences
How
many
levels
are
in
the
vertical column ?
Yes, there are 9!
The power 8 is His
number
for
"new
beginnings,"
"new relationships"
"resurrection,"
"gathering."
Gen. 2:5-6
(9 x 9) + 7 = 88
(98 x 9) + 6 = 888
(987 x 9) + 5 = 8888
(9876 x 9) + 4 = 88888
(98765 x 9) + 3 = 888888
(987654 x 9) + 2 = 8888888
(9876543 x 9) + 1 = 88888888
(98765432 x 9) + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant,
isn’t it?
God says He is the God of New Things!
Isaiah
Chapter 42 Verse
19 AMP
19
Behold, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it
and will you not give heed to it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
God is the
Way Maker!
Everyday is a "new day!" God created mankind in His image!
The grace and power of Creation is His works and His ways!
Creation is an eternal attribute!
How do we know?
God is Eternal, He is the First and the Last!
He is all in ONE!
Here is another marvelous wonder of
the awesome relational
numeral: 1
Do you know of anything that can equate to
101% of a physical thing?
What Equals 100%?
And,
what
could
it
mean
to
give MORE
than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they
are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where
someone
wants you to
GIVE
OVER
100%!
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
And, what equals 100% in life?
Here are some numerical formulas that
might help you better understand what an awesome Holy God we serve...
Revelation 4:11 AMP
11 Worthy
are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and
dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought
into being] and were created.
God's
sovereign nature, character, wisdom, righteous judgment and purposes
are centered in creation. It is His great pleasure and blessing!
Blessing is the divine attribute of Increase...Multiplicity!
God is the great Geometrician, the Most High God.
He is "multidimensional" in "Persons." Through our study of
numerical language and symbolic numerical definitions, His "Works" and
His "Ways," are revealed as He reveals Himself to His creation.
Not only is He the creator of the physical universe, but He is the
creator of all living "spirits"...mankind.
Through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is sent to create the
"born-again"
spirit of an individual... this is "new
creation"... God
continually "Births" bringing
forth "New Beginnings" creating the foundation of "New Relationships!"
He accomplishes all things through His "First-Born" of the
resurrection...
after the crucifixion of the physical Son
of
Man,
the Son of God...Jesus!
The First Born is the Christ! He is the Messiah... the deliverer
of all mankind. He has been given all power and authority to
deliver us from sin and to rule the universe and the nations bringing
His Church into One Body
so that the earth will be filled with His glory through innumerable
"sons."
Hebrews
1:5-6 KJV
5 For
unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he
shall be to me a Son?
6 And
again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he
saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Grasp this truth and it will open your 'eyes' of understanding:
God raised Jesus from the dead.. He was seen first by Mary in the
habitable world after the resurrection on the 3rd day from the dead!
The Father declares His firstbegotten
son in the Resurrection!
He is seen 40 days upon the earth (After death, being again brought into
the habitable world) and then is seen ascending into heaven!
See: Acts 1:11; Mark 16:9; Luke
24:24-26;
24:27-32; 24:33-49; John 21:7-14
When
being martyred, Stephen, a deacon of the 1st century church sees Jesus
standing at the right hand of the Father! Hebrews 1:5-6 is fulfilled!
When we are "born-again' of the Spirit! We become the Father's sons and
daughters! We are spiritually "begotten"... birthed into the
Kingdom of God, Christ's Kingdom, and set in the Heavenly General
Assembly of the Holy Nation when baptized. We are the children
of the Heavenly
City, the New Jerusalem. the Lord's Church! (These are spiritual
realities! Marvelous wonders!)
In Christ, we are children through the "first resurrection" speaking of
our participation through the "new birth" in Christ's resurrection or
regeneration
and translation out of darkness into his marvelous Light!
We become the "New Creature"...the "New Man" as Jesus Christ is
the
Head of the Spiritual Body and the Church is the Body!
We become "one in Him" when we repent and get baptized into His Name
(the fullness being in the name of the Father, the name of the Son and
the name of the Holy Spirit... being One God). Getting ourselves
Baptized is "the obedience of faith." (Romans 1:5)
You get yourself baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ (representing
3 persons in One God) for He is the One who
did the work of obedience unto death. Our sins were washed
away at the Cross through the obedience of Jesus!
1. The obedience to water baptism symbolically washes away our sins;
2. below the surface of the water, places us into His death;
3. coming up out of the water, brings us into His resurrection!
Baptism is a command of the Lord Jesus Christ given after His
resurrection!
He became the Christ upon His resurrection!
Entering the Kingdom of God through Christ (His person... His name) is
"God's Way" in which we enter experientially into
Christ's death and resurrection, which took place 2000 years ago!
(These are spiritual
realities! Marvelous wonders!))
Revelation
1:17-19
AMP
17 I am
the First and the Last, [Isa 44:6.]
18 And
the ever-living one [I am living in the eternity of the
eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the
keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
19 Write
therefore the things you see, what they are [and signify] and
what is to take place hereafter.
================================
God is
the God of order... He rules all things through order...
the church has a divine order... 1st apostles, 2nd prophets, 3rd
teachers...
When
both physical and spiritual realities are divinely relational,
the Church will reign in order and the glory (power) of the Lord will
fill the earth as the waters cover the seas.
Habakkuk
2:14 NKJV
14 For
the earth will be filled
With the
knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
As the
waters cover the sea.
When we
use the 26 textual characters of the English alphabet as follows....
A B C D
E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Now, we
let each character follow a symmetrical order as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4... Y= 25, Z=26 Do
you understand the formula we will apply?
Then:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
(11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5) = 96%
Apostle
James adds a spiritual reality to our formula as follows;
James
1:25 NKJV
25 But
he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it,
and is
not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this one
will be blessed in what he does.
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
(8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11) = 98%
Apostle Paul adds another dimension
to our spiritual understanding that we may see physical realities
created and demonstrated through fellowship and relationship.
(the power dimension of 3 to the 3rd power)
1. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, (3)
2. Our own body, soul and spirit (3)
3. Love one another (2) as I have loved you (1). (3) [3-way
relationship]
( 33 ) = 3 x 3 x 3 =
81
Note the numerical
relationships...(3+3+3 = 9) (1+8 = 9) (9 x 9 = 81) (8/1)
(These numbers are
relational just as we demonstrated in the examples above.)
We are looking at relationships to understand physical and
spiritual realities and not at numbers as one is taught in school for
which to solve specific mathematical problems.

Phil 4:8-9 NKJV
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things
are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever
things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of
good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy -- meditate on these things.
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me,
these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Look not
only at this scripture (Phil 4:8-9) listed numerically as 8 and 9,
but look
at the components of verse 8. It consists of 8 parts.
1. true
2. noble
3. pure
4. lovely
5. good report
6. virtue
7. praiseworthy
8. meditate
Awesome!
As
our
study
deepens,
we
see
that
the
number eight as used
in these scriptures refers to "new"
and "gathering...
doing new things and gathering of one's thoughts.
Apostle Paul
just instructed us to think on new things...
to gather our
thoughts. To direct our thoughts!
This spells out...
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
(1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5)
=
100%
And
then
he
says
that
the
God of
peace will be with us!
God's peace treaty
to all of mankind.
John 3:16-18
is the greatest marvelous wonder!
It is the
unconditional love of God!
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
(12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4)
= 101%
Therefore, one
can conclude with absolute physical and spiritual
realities
that:
While
Knowledge and Hard Work will
get you close,
Attitude will actually
get
you to 100%.
It’s the Love of God that will definitely
put
you over the top! 101%
John 3:16-18 AMP
Chapter 3
and 3 verses: ( 33 ) = 3 x 3 x 3 =
81 (1/8) 16 For God
so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His
only begotten ( unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in,
clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be
lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into
the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence
on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe
and sound through Him.
18 He who
believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged
[he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no
rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does
not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he
has already been convicted and has already received his sentence]
because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
[He is
condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING
SOME JOY IN OUR STUDY?
Romans
15:13
NKJV
13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
that you
may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
By surveying both
numerical language and textual language, we gain a deeper understanding
of the Lord's diversity and unity!
The power 1 is His number of
Unity Gen. 1:26
The power 2 is
His number of Union and Division Gen.
2:23; Eph.
5:31,32
The power 3 is
His number of Divinity...completeness 2
Cor. 13:14
The power 4 is His number of His Will
& His Ways Gen.
2:10-14; Ezk. 1
The power 5 is
His number of Favor & Grace. Eph.
4:11-16
The power 6
is His number relating to man. Gen. 1: 26-31
The power 7 is
His number for
perfecting. Gen.
2:
1,2,3
The power 8 is His
number
for
"new
beginnings,"
"new
relationships"
"resurrection,"
"gathering."
Gen.
2:5-6
The power 9 is
His number for gifts of the Spirit, fruit of the Spirit,
and "koronas" gestation time
for
birthing a child.
Look at
the power of 8 representing resurrection in this 3-verse explanation
and the spiritual reality of being one in Christ!
2 Cor
5:15-17 AMP
15
And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to
and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again
for their sake.
16
Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely]
human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even
though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as
a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no
longer [in terms of the flesh].
17
Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a
new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and
spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has
come!
Behold
the
Fresh
and
NEW
has
Come!!!

absolutes demonstrated in the physical.
All of God's Ways are His "marvelous wonderments!"
"Seeing
God's
Wisdom
in
His
Ways"
By DeVern Fromkein
(Note: These
are all divisible by 7!
7
is the number for perfecting (maturing)!
In the
creation the number 7 is very significant and demonstrated in
both the physical and spiritual realities in earth and in heaven!
Seven (7) is
used 435 times and there are 387 lists of 7's
referenced. The "spiritual" as well as the "physical" are
governed by the "law of sevens.' there is unity between the
spiritual and the physical... there is direct relationship between the
"word" of God" and the "works " of God. The 'Word" and the
"Works" harmonize by a threefold cord: Trinity.

unmerited favor) be granted to you and spiritual peace ( the peace of
Christ's kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and
from the seven Spirits [the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before His throne,
Isaiah 11:2 AMP

Eggs of the mallard in 35 days.
Eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
The
lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for
His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life.
If
you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure.
Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide
them to a profitable end.
God's
wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well
as in the number of grains.
Each
watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
Each
orange has an even number of segments.
Each
ear of corn has an even number of rows.
Each
stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
Every
bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, each
row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next
row an odd number.
The
waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute
In all kinds of weather.
All
grains are found in even numbers on the stalks.
The Lord specified thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold -
all even numbers.
God
has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the
day.
Linneus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory
containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature,
he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open
and those that were closed!
The
Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to
His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans,
and will be fragrant with His presence!
Only
the God-planned life is successful.
Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is safe.
Faith
is:
Not
believing that God can,
It
is knowing that God will!
=================================
Our approach to formulas to
the "power of numbers" in the Bible relates
to spiritual
destinies not
doctrine.
In
contrast, God gave Albert
Einstein a formula for physical
destinies;
the relationship of physical mass and time/space realities:
E=mc².
This formula demonstrates relationship changes involving matter
and space.
Einstein baffled the whole scientific
community for years even after
his
departure from earth. Today, scientists have resolved
the difficulties in Einstein's work and have taken a quantum leap into
the knowledge and understanding of the accountable matter that is
contained in what seems as nothing in the heavens referred to as
"space" and darkness. The
reality
is that there is
more in the seemingly nothingness
and the darkness of the heavens than
there is in the seen and known world and universe! There is
a sphere of God that is represented by darkness that reveals
great and mighty insights into the Kingdom of Heaven. The
Holy Ghost spoke in a morning worship service on January 20th 2007 that
the Lord was releasing revelation into the Body of Christ unlike ever
before in the history of mankind. These are things that have been
hidden in the canopy of darkness totally out of man's
knowledge of existence.
Ps
18:11... Remember our examining of the center of the Bible and
our look at the number 1 and the number 8?
Look at the scripture that follows!
Do you see how awesome our creator is?
We are deep in relational enlightenment.
Again...
Ps
18:11 NKJV
11
He made darkness His secret place;
His
canopy around Him was dark waters
And
thick clouds of the skies.
The numbers 1
and 8 are seen represented in demonstrational power in
the ways of God. Numbers are used as language!
They are seen both in the physical and the spiritual.
There are things
prepared for us that are above
our finite
understanding. They are the things of the Spirit and to receive
them our exercise of faith will be tested. During our study, we
have not searched out scriptures that would support the study of the
numerical applications we have observed. We simply have observed
the Way that the numbers relate and have brought attention to those
relationships.
This
is
not
about
doctrines!
It is not about what the church thinks it
has a handle upon within it's
interpretation of the scriptures, either. It is about the
realities of
the spirit world that transcends the minds of men.
God has
already "blown" the minds of His prophets with many revelatory insights
as to the administrations coming forth now in place for unity of the
faith, transfer of
wealth, and administration of the nations of the world.
There is still such a battle over the receptivity of the works of the
Holy Spirit and the receptivity of Christ in the world that point to
the strongholds upon men's minds, that to even begin to examine and
receive
what God's
prophets
are
speaking about the near future in the realms of the family, church and
governments are higher than we may act or think.
Deception
has blinded too many of God's people!
It is time to come forth in unity of purpose and in the strength of the
Truth of the Word of God!
We could
look at all the systems of the world and be caught in the
entrapment of darkness and ignorance.
When we allow the Light giving Holy Spirit
to reveal the Light of Christ
through the Scriptures and by His Person, we then begin to
walk not
on our own
understanding. As we lean on Him and apply sound interpretation,
we begin to walk in enlightenment of God's Kingdom that has been
prepared
and given for our
edification.
Our God is an
Awesome God and King Jesus
Reigns, NOW!
He is not going
to come to reign in some future
physical temple in physical Jerusalem! The scriptures of both Old and
New Covenants
do not...no, no, no, do not point to His earthly return to rule the
universe and the nations of the earth. He is reigning, today, and has
been ever since the resurrection, ascension and enthronement to the
right hand of the Father! The Father promised David to set His
son on David's Throne. God moved the throne to heaven through the
Cross in the
resurrection, ascension and enthronement of His Son of Glory!
He destroyed the old sacrificial system when He destroyed the temple
and
city of Jerusalem in 70 AD. (
the
perfecting number of 7)
The
Father has no plan to destroy David's throne in heaven!
He has NO plan to establish an earthly throne for Jesus.. No
Never!
Jesus will never reign from earthly Jerusalem or God is a liar!
(Titus 1:2 God, that cannot
lie,)
Psalm 89:35-37 AMP
35
Once [for all] have I sworn by My holiness, which cannot be violated; I
will not lie to David:
36
His
Offspring
shall
endure
forever,
and his throne [shall continue] as
the sun before Me. [Isa 9:7; Gal 3:16.]
37
It
shall
be
established
forever
as the moon, the faithful witness in
the heavens. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! [Rev 1:5; 3:14.]
The Throne of David is established forever in heaven, folks!
Let
us take one more look at numbers as they apply to spiritual
realities:
We
sited
that
The Power 1
is God's
number of unity (Gen. 1:26)
In
order to define our faith and Trinitarian belief it is necessary
that we have emphasized what the Scriptures tell us of the plurality of
the Godhead
in order to combat unscriptural belief of anti-Trinitarians.
We believe in one God. Unfortunately there are those who are not
thoughly acquainted what the Scriptures define as true
monotheism in plurality
of persons. Consequently, they assume the "Three God" doctrine
is the Trinitarian doctrine. So let's dive into the Word of God
and let
the truth be enlightened to our hearts and minds.
A belief of the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures compels the Church
to state that there is one God, one subject of reference.
As the
Bible reveals the Trinity it does not conclude a mathematical
equation
that one God is three Gods or that one person is three persons.
What we
need to understand is that "one" is not always a reference to a
mathematical one.
Let the universal law of mathematics
demonstrate for us what is
difficult to grasp through words...
We are back to the divine number of one (1)!
One (1) raised to the 3rd power 13 (one multiplied by itself three
times
1x1x1= 1) is still one! "One" is not a reference to a
single unit in the exact mathematical sense, but one is in the sense of
a compound unity, or a
unity of more than one, a unity which involves plurality and unity of
purpose.
The Bible demonstrates this physical and spiritual principle.
Genesis
2:24 Therefore a man shall
leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to
his wife, and they shall become one flesh. [Matt 19:5; 1 Cor 6:16; Eph
5:31-33.]
1 Kings
22:13 KJV And the messenger that was gone to call
Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets
declare good unto the king with one mouth:
John
17:22 I have given
to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be
one [even] as We are one:
Acts
4:32 KJV
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one
soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he
possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
1
Corinthians 3:88 He who plants and he who waters are
equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall
receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor.
Ephesians
2:14 For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and
harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has
broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us,
1 John
5:7 KJV
For there are three that bear record in
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
Now to
review the principle of plurality in
the unit of "one"...
●Two
people
(husband and wife) "shall become one flesh."
●
Paul the planter and Apollos the waterer are one.
●God
has made
both Jew and Gentile one.
●The
multitude of believers are
described as of "one heart and one soul."
It is easy to see that the
Bible frequently expresses a unity which involves a plurality, a
compound unity.
There is a much deeper study of this topic in which the Hebrew language
reveals the word "achid" which
means
a
united
one.
The verse of Deuteronomy 6:4 uses this Hebrew word for ONE.
Hear,
O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
There
are
many
other
references
to
"achid"
which denotes the plurality
of one in a
united one!
In this same order and scope of being One, the House of the Lord is to
be
ONE. Jesus said, "upon this rock" (the revelation of Peter that
Jesus was the Christ) He emphatically stated, "I will build My
Church."
Church is one. It is not churches... The General Assembly of God
in Heaven is One. The Church, the true One Holy Apostolic Church
of Christ
is ordered by our King and High Priest from heaven. Let us
be found obedient to the One Faith of the Living God...
multi-cultural, multi-generational, multi-diverse in localities,
but, accounted ONE in
the Gospel as entrusted to the 1st century Apostles ... the apostolate.
Jesus Christ the Head... His One Church, the Body.
Rom
12:4-5 AMP
4 For
as in one physical body we have many parts (organs, members) and all of
these parts do not have the same function or use,
5 So
we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and
individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one
another].
May God Bless
and Keep You In His service,
Ambassador for Christ
