YAHWEH NUMBERS THE NATIONS

"This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

Daniel 5:26-28

Introduction

Yahweh, the GREAT I AM, the Almighty, numbered the people of the Bible from their beginnings. This book explores the numbers that He used when He numbered the lineages of the patriarchs as they multiplied into nations. This book details how Yahweh numbered the Biblical nations as He built them and established their parameters.

This book also explores how He numbered the sins of the nations. It reveals the pattern of numbers He left when He numbered the rulers of the ancient nations and their wars in the Bible. The reader will also discover How Yahweh has numbered the rulers of modern nations and their wars like World Wars I and II using the same set of prime numbers He used in the Bible. In this book the reader will learn from the numerical data of the Bible that it is Yahweh who determines destinies from generation to generation, increasing the faith of the believer. He is the GREAT I AM.

Chapter 1 - How Yahweh Numbered the Patriarchs

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Deuteronomy 10:17

Yahweh, the God of gods, the Almighty, has used His numbers in the Bible to number the genealogy of the patriarchs from the beginning of creation. He also numbered them as they became nations. He then, numbered the nations in a variety of ways in the Bible. However, before you can understand how God has numbered the nations throughout History, you must first understand the arithmetic of the numbers He used in the Bible.

The Arithmetic of Bible Numbers

Biblical Numbering Method - The +1 Sequences

Yahweh created numbers and He used the first one that He created to refer to Himself. Yahweh is One and He used the number One as a concept to design the numbers of the Bible. God highlighted the number One in Bible numbers by adding a +1 to the end of them. For example, one of the most familiar examples of sequencing Bible numbers this way are the 6 days of Creation. Afterwards, Yahweh added the 7th day and made it a holy day (6+1). Therefore, there are the 6 days + 1, the Sabbath Day. In this book, I refer to this as the 6+1 sequence. The following table contains some examples of Bible numbers sequenced with the +1.

Biblical Numbering Method - Adding the + 1 Sequences

There are many Biblical examples where God added the +1 sequences together to arrive at other numbers. For example, consider the numbers 3 and 4 in the Bible, God sequenced the number 3 as 2+1 and the number 4 as 3+1 and (2+1) + (3+1) = 7. God sequences numbers in a number this way because it is the sequences in a number that reveal how God designed events relating to the number. For a more detailed explanation of the numbers of the Bible, I suggest reading the book Biblical Mathematics at http://www.Biblenumbers.com.

It is these Bible numbers with the +1 sequences that God added together to number the patriarchs of the Bible and the nations of the earth. Below are some Biblical examples which show how the +1 sequence numbers have been added together in the Bible.

Numbering People -The Number of Israel

For example, in Deuteronomy 32:8, when God created the nations, He numbered them using the number of Israel.

8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

Bible history shows that the number that God used in the Bible to number Israel was the number 12. This is the number in the Bible that God used to number the lineages of the nations.

Sons of Jacob and their mothers

These 12 Sons were the basis for the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Genesis 49:28

28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

Again, the number 12 is the number of Israel. This is the number He used to establish the foundation of the nations.

Sons of Ishmael Example

Ishmael was Abraham’s first born and God promised to make him a great nation. God used the number 12 to number the divisions of this nation.

Genesis 17:18-20

"18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."

Genesis 25:13-16

"13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:"

Twelve sons of Ishmael

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

Dukes of Edom - Descendants of Esau

The Bible suggests that God established 12 major dukes in the kingdom of Edom. The people of Edom are the descendants of Jacob’s brother Esau. For example, in 1 Chronicles 1:51-54, the Bible notes that the kingdom of Edom contained eleven dukes.

"51 Hadad died also. And the dukes of Edom were; duke Timnah, duke Aliah, duke Jetheth,

52 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,

53 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,

54 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These are the dukes of Edom."

The following is a list of the dukes of Edom the descendants of Esau. These were title positions that went from generation to generation.

Dukes of Edom

The Bible does not include the family of the king of Edom, which would bring the total number of dukedoms to 12. From these Biblical examples, it becomes evident that God used the number 12 to number the patriarchs into nations as their numbers increased.

The 12+1=13 Sequence of a Series

When God began to number the patriarchs of the Bible, He sequenced the number 12 using the number 3 sequenced as 2+1. Each 12 is made up of a series of 2+1 sequences. As God numbered the patriarchs, He would cause dramatic events to happen to every 3rd person (2+1), in a series of 12. Again, dramatic events would occur during the lives of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th patriarch in a series of 12. To end each series of 12, God added a +1 to the end of 12 making it 12+1=13. This is the numbering method that God used as He began to number Mankind beginning with Adam.

For example, consider the first three sons of Adam. After the death of Abel, Adam had a 3rd son whose name was Seth. It is through the seed of Adam’s 3rd son that the world became populated. The following are the sons of Adam:

1. Cain

2. Abel

3. Seth - the 3rd son of Adam (2+1 Genesis Chapter 4)

Therefore, the Biblical lineage of Adam’s third son is an excellent example of how God began to number the lineage of the patriarchs using a series of 2+1 sequences to arrive at 12+1=13.

The First Group of 12+1=13 Patriarchs

Sons of Adam through Seth (Genesis Chapter 5).

1. Seth - The third son of Adam

2. Enos

3. Cainan

4. Mahalaleel

5. Jared

6. Enoch - God highlighted the life of the 6th man of this line and the 7th from Adam. In Genesis 5:23-24, the Bible states:

"23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

The apostle Paul commented on Abel and Enoch in Hebrews 11:4-5.

"4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

God also highlighted the 3rd patriarch down the line from Enoch, Noah.

7. Methuselah

8. Lamech

9. Noah - the 3rd after Enoch - God decided to save Noah and his family when He destroyed the Earth.

Noah of the line of Seth the 3rd son of Adam found favor with God - God spared the life of Noah and his family. The fact that the seed of man would survive through the seed of Adam’s 3rd son is indeed significant with respect to God’s blessings and cursing by 3.

The Sons of Cain before the Flood

The Bible notes that Cain also had children and these children began to multiply on the earth until their death in the Great Flood. God had also numbered the children of Cain using the number 3.

Sons of Adam through Cain (Genesis 4: 17)

1. Cain

2. Enoch

3. Irad

4. Mehujael

5. Methusael

6. Lamech - The Bible makes a comment about this 6th son of Adam through Cain’s line Lamech who had two wives as seen in Genesis 4:23-24:

"23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."

The Bible notes that Lamech had 3 sons:

1. Jabal - Adah was his mother

2. Jubal- Adah was his mother

3. Tubalcain- Zillah was his mother

These are the last descendants of the line of Cain as found in the Bible. The Bible notes that these 3 sons of Lamech were the forefathers of notable men of crafts. Therefore, for Lamech’s line through Adah, Jabal or Jubal would be the 8th of this line. Lamech’s son through Zillah, Tubalcain, would be the 8th from Adam. In addition, one of the three would be the 7th descendent of Cain. Again, only 7 descendants of Cain are recorded in the Bible (6+1 = 7). God’s designs by his great numbers are self-evident. There are only 7 sons of Adam through the line of Cain listed in the Bible before the great flood (6 + 1 = 7). Cain’s children were killed in the great flood.

9. Noah

The International Flood - Numbering Early Nations to an End

After some 1600 years, men of the earth had multiplied into nations. The wickedness of these nations got the attention of God and He was not pleased. At this point in the Bible, the lineage of the patriarchs were impacted by the wrath of God and the great flood. Again, the primary reason that God numbered the patriarchs of the Bible to destruction was because of sin.

For example in Genesis 6:5-7, the Bibles states:

"5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."

Noah of the line of Seth, the 3rd son of Adam, found favor with God, and He spared his life and the life of his family. The fact that the seed of man would survive through the seed of Adam’s 3rd son and the ninth of his line is indeed significant with respect to God’s blessings and cursing by 3. God came to Noah and told him to build an ark because He was going to destroy the earth. God’s numbers are to be observed in the dimensions of the ark that He instructed Noah to build (Genesis Chapter 6). The dimensions of the ark were as follows:

1. 300 Cubits - length wise

2. 30 Cubits - height wise

3. 3 Stories

___________________

4. 50 cubits width wise

God designed these 4 dimensions using His 3 + 1 sequence. In three of the numbers, God used the number 3 and with one, He does not. God instructed Noah to bring a variety of animals into the ark. God’s numbers are manifested in how many of what sort of animals, He told Noah to bring into the ark. In Genesis 7:2, God said of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by 7’s, the male and his female: and of the beast that are not cleaned by two the male and his female. God continued in verse 3: of the fowls also of the air by 7’s, the male and his female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. The importance of these numbers speak for themselves, God numbered the clean and unclean animals differently. As God prepared to destroy the earth, He continued to number events using the number 7. In Genesis 7:4, God told Noah:

For yet 7 days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

In Genesis 7:11, the rains began to fall on the 17th day of the second month. God had instructed Noah to bring the animals into the ark 7 days earlier (Genesis 7:4).

Genesis 7:11-13

"11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;"

How God Timed the Flood

The Bible notes that the flood began on the 17th day of the second month. God timed this flood using the number 7 which can be seen in the following table.

First Two Months of the Luna Calendar

First month of the year

Second month of the year

Again, God sent the flood upon the earth in the 7th week of the year. Later, when God established the Passover in Israel, He ordained the 7th week of the year as an alternate date for those who could not observe Passover on its original date.

The 10th is the day God told Noah to bring the animals into the ark. The Bible notes that after the seventh day the rains began to fall. Therefore, for six days Noah brought the animals into the ark. God used the 6 + 1 sequence to number this event. Noah labored for six days (11-16th) and rested on the 17th because of the rains. The 17th day of the month is the day that the rains began to fall. It is important to note that God begins the rains in the 3rd 7-day period of the month. This is a time period that will be seen again in other Biblical events.

Furthermore, the 17th is the 3rd day of this 3rd 7-day period of the month. According to the lunar calendar, there are a full 14 days of rain in the second month. As the rains began to fall, Noah, his 3 sons and their wives entered into the ark. God’s numbers are again manifested by the four men that were saved. God used the 3 + 1 sequence because three of the men that were saved were brothers and one was the father.

Rains of the third month

The rains would end on the night of the 26th, totaling 40 days and forty nights (14 + 26 = 40). The 27th day would be a rest from the 40 days. Again, God used the number 7 to end a period. For more information on how God timed this flood, I refer you to the Biblical Time Chart in the book Prophetic Numbers of the Bible.

The 40 Days and the 3+1 Sequence

God sequenced the 40 days and nights using His 3+1 sequence. After the rains began on the 17th day of the second month, there were 13 days, and nights of rain left in the second month.

Second Month - 1- partial day of rain (17th)

Second Month - 13 full days and nights of rain

Third Month -13+13= 26 full days and nights of rain

Furthermore, the 3 -13 day periods were sequenced as 1+2. One of the 13 day periods was in the second month and two of the 13-day periods were in the third month. God had allowed the Ark to float in 6 different months

1. Second month

2. Third month

3. Fourth month

4. Fifth month

5. Sixth month

6. Seven month

-------------

7. At the end of the sixth month, the ark would be at rest (6+1)

The Ark Comes to Rest

The waters were upon the earth from the 17th day of the second month until the 16th day of the 7th month. On the 17th day of the 7th month, the ark came to rest upon Mount Ararat. In Genesis 8:4, the Bible states:

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Again, the number 7 is associated with rest or the end of a period. God
