Three is the number of Resurrection
.
The
number 3 pictures completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. There are 27
books in the New Testament, which is 3 x 3 x 3, or completeness to the third
power. Christ was dead for three full days
and three full nights, a total of 72 hours, before being resurrected on
Saturday, April 8, just before sunset. Next to seven, 3 is the most commonly
found or referenced number in Revelation. An angel is charged to cry three woes
to those who live on earth to warn them of more trials to come. The New Jerusalem, created by God for placement on a
new earth, will be shaped like a square with three gates on each side. God
is described, in the very beginning of the book of Revelation, as a Being
"which is, and which was, and which is to come."
The
Meaning of Numbers
BibleStudy.org
The number 3 is used 467
times in the Bible.
The meaning of this number
derives from the fact that it is the first of four spiritually perfect numerals
(the others being 7, 10 and 12).
The 3 righteous patriarchs
before the flood were Abel, Enoch and Noah.
After the deluge there was
the righteous "fathers" Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (later
renamed Israel).
There are 27 books in the New
Testament, which is 3 x 3 x 3, or completeness to the third power.
Jesus prayed three times in
the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest.
He was placed on the cross at
the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour (3 p.m.).
There were 3 hours of
darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the
6th hour to the 9th hour.
Three is the number of
resurrection.
Christ was dead for three
full days and three full nights, a total of 72 hours, before being resurrected
on Saturday, April 8, just before sunset.
Appearances of the number
three
There were only three
individuals who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration on Mount Hermon. Those who saw
Jesus' glory on the mount were John, Peter and James.
The apostle Paul was an
exceptionally well educated person.
In three different occasions
he quotes directly from Greek poets (Acts
17:28, 1 Corinthians 15:33 and Titus 1:12).
He also was privileged to
visit the location of God's throne, which is in the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
The three words that appear
only once in Scripture are
o Reverend (Psalms 111:9),
o Eternity (Isaiah 57:15)
and
o Grandmother (2 Timothy 1:5).
Only three people were allowed
to ask God anything. They were
o Solomon (1 Kings
3:5),
o Ahaz (Isaiah
7:11) and, of course,
o Jesus Christ (Psalm
2:9).
The Bible only mentions the
name of three angels (Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer).
How is the number 3
related to sex sins?
There are three places in the
New Testament where sex sins are specially referenced.
The first is in Romans 1:20-32,
where certain people who reject God are given over to defile themselves in a
variety of ways that includes homosexuality (male and female) and overall
sexual immorality.
The second mention of
sex-related sins is in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, where the apostle Paul must handle
the problem of the local church allowing a member to openly commit incest.
The third sex issue dealt
with in the New Testament is in Revelation 2:19-25.
A female who considers
herself a prophetess within the Thyatira church, in the spirit of Jezebel, was
teaching believers to commit sexual immorality and spiritual adultery.
Three in Prophecy
Next to seven, 3 is the most
commonly found or referenced number in Revelation.
An angel is charged to cry
three woes to those who live on earth to warn them of more trials to come (Revelation 8:13).
The murdered bodies of the Two
Witnesses will not be allowed to be buried but rather will lie openly in
Jerusalem for three days before they are resurrected.
Three unclean spirits will be
allowed to deceive the whole world to fight the returning Jesus Christ in what
is called the battle of Armageddon (Revelation
16:13-16).
The New Jerusalem, created by
God for placement on a new earth, will be shaped like a square with three gates
on each side (Revelation 21:13).

Biblical Meaning of 3
God is described, in the very beginning of the book of
Revelation, as a Being "which is, and which was, and which is to
come" (Revelation 1:4).
There are 3 great periods of
God's annual Feast days of worship.
