ASSIGNED NUMBERS 3 AND 8

[ElijahsTask]

I DON'T REMEMBER THE WHOLE DREAM, BUT HERE ARE THE COMPONENTS THAT KEPT STANDING OUT:

THERE WAS A KIND, YOUNG, JEWISH GENTELMAN WITH SHORT CURLY BROWN HAIR, W/ A BEAUTIFUL SMILE LEANING OUT FROM BEHIND A WHITE WALL. ALL I COULD SEE WERE HIS SHOULDERS, ARM AND HEAD. IT WAS AS IF HE WERE IN A DIFFERENT ROOM BUT LEANING AROUND THE CORNER HE HANDED ME A LARGE WHITE PIECE OF PAPER (in the shape of a Commandment tablet),AND SMILING, HE SAID I'D BEEN ASSIGNED THE NUMBERS 3 AND 8

HE SAID " YOUR NUMBERS ARE 3 AND 8, THAT STANDS FOR.........


I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID THO I DID REPEAT IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WAKING...... I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID IT MEANT



I THINK IT WAS JUST ONE WORD THAT STARTED WITH AN F BUT I MAY BE WRONG.

I copied this from a response I had with the puppy with two heads and white horse ...it was something I found on the number eight....not sure if I can find the site again...they had meanings for all the numbers I believe....


he Biblical Meaning of the Number 8

In Hebrew the number eight is hnm# (Sh'moneh), from the root Nm# (Shah'meyn), "to make fat," "cover with fat," "to super-abound." As a participle it means "one who abounds in strength," etc. As a noun it is "superabundant fertility," "oil," etc. So that as a numeral it is the superabundant number. As seven was so called because the seventh day was the day of completion and rest, so eight, as the eighth day, was over and above this perfect completion, and was indeed the first of a new series, as well as being the eighth. We consider the connection between 8 and 7 in another section.

It is 7 plus 1. Hence it is the number specially associated with Resurrection and Regeneration, and the beginning of a new era or order.

When the whole earth was covered with the flood, it was Noah "the eighth person" (2 Peter 2:5) who stepped out on to a new earth to commence a new order of things. "Eight souls" (1 Peter 3:20) passed through it with him to the new or regenerated world.

Hence, too, circumcision was to be performed on the eighth day (Genesis 17:12), because it was the foreshadowing of the true circumcision of the heart, that which was to be "made without hands," even "the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ" (Colossians 2:11). This is connected with the new creation.

The firstborn was to be given to God on the eighth day (Exodus 22:29-30).
Who HAS been resurrected from the DEAD?

The resurrection of the dead is the great truth which is signified by the number 8. The Bible contains the record of eight individuals (with a likely ninth one) who have been brought back to life.

This list does not include the resurrection of Jesus or the resurrection back to a physical life of many people that happened just after Jesus died:

"And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves AFTER His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many." (Matthew 27:50-53, NKJV)

The eight (and likely nine) individual resurrections are:

Elijah raises the son of a woman. (1Kings 17:8-9, 17-23)

Elisha raises the son of a Shunammite woman. (2Kings 4:16-20, 32-36)

God uses the bones of Elisha to raise a man back to life. (2Kings 13:20-21)

Jesus resurrects the only son of a woman from Nain. (Luke 7:11-15)

Jesus raises from the dead the daughter of Jarius, who is a ruler in the synagogue. (Luke 8:41-42, 49-55)

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. (John 11:11-14, 17, 32-35, 38-39, 41-44)

In Joppa Peter resurrects a generous woman named Tabitha. (Acts 9:36-41)

The apostle Paul raises from the dead a young man named Eutychus who fell from a window listening to him speak. (Acts 20:7-12)

The apostle Paul himself was resurrected from the dead after (likely) being stoned to death:

"Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, THEY STONED PAUL and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe." (Acts 14:19-20, NKJV)

Eight days of the greatest Feast

The Feast of Tabernacles lasted eight days, with a special reference to the Incarnation (John 1:14).
Jesus' transfiguration took place on the eighth day

The transfiguration also took place on the eighth day (inclusive reckoning) after the first announcement of Christ's "sufferings," and it was the showing forth of the "glory" which should follow at His coming again.
Eight is the first Cubic number

Eight is the first cubic number, the cube of two, 2 x 2 x 2. We have seen that three is the symbol of the first plane figure, and that four is the first square. So here, in the first cube, we see something of transcendent perfection indicated, something, the length and breadth and height of which are equal. This significance of the cube is seen in the fact that the "Holy of Holies," both in the Tabernacle and in the Temple, were cubes. In the Tabernacle it was a cube of 10 cubits. In the Temple it was a cube of 20 cubits. In Revelation 20 the New Jerusalem is to be a cube of 12,000 furlongs. Dr. Milo Mahan is inclined to believe that the Ark of Noah, too, had a kind of sacred Shechinah in "the window finished in a cubit above"—a cube of one. If so, we have the series of cubes:
1 = Noah's Ark
103 = 1,000 - The Tabernacle
203 = 8,000 - The Temple
12,0003 = 1,728,000,000,000, the New Jerusalem

What are the Eight Songs NOT in the book of Psalms?

Eight songs in the Old Testament outside of the Psalms:

Redemption, Exodus 15.
Supply and maintenance, Numbers 21:17.
Moses witnessing to the grace of God and the unfaithfulness of man, Deuteronomy 32.
Victory over oppression, Judges 5.
David, God's elect, delivered from all his foes, 2 Samuel 22.
The Song of Songs.
The song of the well-beloved touching Israel, God's vineyard, Isaiah 5.
This (the eighth) waits to be sung when the resurrection occurs (Isaiah 26), for it does not come till after "death is swallowed up in victory,"

What were the eight miracles of Elijah?

The miracles of Elijah were eight in number, marking the Divine character of his mission:

The shutting up of heaven, 1 Kings 17:1; James 5:17; Luke 4:25.
Multiplying the widow's meal, 2 Kings 17:14-16.
Raising the widow's son, verses 17-23.
Causing fire to come down from heaven, 1 Kings 18:37, 38.
Causing rain to come down from heaven, verses 41-45.
Causing fire to come down from heaven, 2 Kings 1:10.
The same, verse 12.
Dividing the Jordan, 2 Kings 2:8.

What miracles did Elisha perform?

The miracles of Elisha were double in number, viz. Sixteen, for his request was, "Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me," 2 Kings 2:9:

Dividing the Jordan, 2 Kings 2:14.
Healing the waters, verse 21.
Cursing the young men,* verse 24.
Procuring water for the three kings, 2 Kings 3:16-20.
Multiplying the widow's oil, 2 Kings 4:1-7.
Raising the widow's son, 4:37.
Healing the deadly pottage, verse 38.
Feeding the Hundred men, verses 42-44.
The healing of Naaman, 2 Kings 5:1-19.
The smiting of Gehazi, verses 20-27.
Causing the iron to swim, 2 Kings 6:1-7.
Opening the eyes of his servant, verse 17.
Smiting the Syrian army with blindness, verse 18.
Restoring their sight, verse 20.
Arresting the king's messenger, verses 30-33.
A dead man raised by touching his bones, 2 Kings 13:20, 21.

* The word is used of Isaac, aged 28; Joseph when 39; Rehoboam when 40; Shadrach and his companions in Babylon.

The use and significance of the number eight in Scripture is seen to recur in marvelous exactitude. It may indeed be said that
Why is Eight the number of Jesus?

Eight is the number of Jesus, whose name in Greek is IHSOUS:
I = 10
H = 8
Σ = 200
O = 70
Υ = 400
Σ = 200
Total: 888

It is the number stamped upon the Old Testament, the numbers of its books in all the manuscripts being 24 (3x8).

In the book which relates to His great Apocalypse or Revelation, there are in the introduction which sets forth the glory of the Lord, to be revealed in the day of the Lord, eight references to the Old Testament on which the claims of His Lordship are based.
What are the Eight references to the Old Testament in Revelation 1?

It will be noted, moreover, that these are not given at haphazard. Our attention is called to their importance by the order in which they are given. They are arranged in the form of an epanodos, the first being from the same book as the eighth, the second corresponding in the same way to the seventh, the third to the sixth, and the fourth to the fifth. Thus the Divine seal of superabundant perfection is there set on the Scriptures which declare the Lordship of Jesus:

A. Revelation 1:5, Isaiah 55:4.

B. Revelation 1:7, Daniel 7:13.

C.Revelation1:7, Zechariah 12:10.

D. Revelation 1:8, Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, 48:12.

D. Revelation 1:11, Isaiah 41:4, 44:6; 48:12.

C. Revelation 1:12, Zechariah 4:2.

B. Revelation 1:13-15, Daniel 7:9, 13, 22, 10:5, 6.

A. Revelation 1:16, Isaiah 49:2.

How is the number 8 represented in other names for Jesus?

Other names for Jesus are also marked by Gematria (substituting numbers for letters) and stamped with the number eight as a factor:

CristoV, Christ, 1480 (8x185).

KurioV, Lord, 800 (8x100).

KurioV hmwn, Our Lord, 1768 (8x221).

Swthr, savior, 1408 (82x 32).

'Emmanouhl, Emmanuel, 25600, (83x50).

Messias, Messiah, 656 (8x82).

UioV, Son, 880 (8x110).

We ought also to note that the other factors, beside the prevailing eight, are full of significance.

All this speaks to us, if we have "ears to hear," that "God hath glorified His Son Jesus" (Acts 3:13), and "hath made that same Jesus . . . both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36).
Additional commentary on the Biblical Meaning of 8 *

The number 8, which comes after the number (7) which signifies completeness, symbolizes a new beginning, or a new order of things, a new creation, a new birth, and the resurrection to eternal life.

A musical scale has 7 notes, with the 8th note beginning a new scale an octave from the first note. Eight people were carried in the ark for a new beginning after the flood. Four is the number of the first creation, and 8 (4 + 4) pictures the new creation after the flood.

David, the 8th son of Jesse, was the new king to replace Saul.

Christ was selected as the Passover Lamb on the 10th day of the first month, a weekly Sabbath (John 12: 28-29). He was crucified on the 14th day (7 + 7, or double completeness) which was also the 4th day of the week. He was in the tomb exactly 3 days and 3 nights. He was resurrected toward the end of the next weekly Sabbath, the 17th (the number of victory). The 17th was also the 8th day when counted inclusively from the 10th day, the day of His selection. Thus, the confluence of these numbers shows Jesus’ perfect sacrifice and His total victory over death.

Boys were to be circumcised on the 8th day. Eight symbolizes circumcision of the heart through Christ and the receiving of the Holy Spirit (Romans 2:28-29, Colossians 2:11-13).

Those in Christ are becoming a new creation (Cool, with godly character being created by the power of God’s Spirit (2Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10; 4:23-24).

After the 7 weeks of the spring harvest, the next day — the 50th day — is Pentecost (7 x 7 + 1 = 50). This day is also the "8th day of the 7th week." As such, this 8th/50th day pictures the first resurrection, the day Christians are "born again" from flesh to spirit (1Corinthians 15:20-23, 35-55; John 3:3-12; Revelation 14:14-16, 20:4-6).

After the 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles, there is an 8th day — the Last Great Day.

There were 8 writers of the New Testament, who wrote of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

The Scriptures were written by 40 different individuals; 40 is 5 (grace) times 8 (a new beginning). By the grace of God mankind has the opportunity for a new beginning — as expounded through the Word of God.
