Someone asked what the number 69 means.  I belive it points to immortality.  I wrote an article once called gospel of the numbers.  6 is the number for man, the "head" of the number is on the low side, and is what a baby normally looks like when it is born out of the womb.  9 is the last of the digits.  This is when God "lifts up our heads."  10 is the next number, and the fulfillment of "he must increase, and I must decrease."  We are 0 and Jesus is the "1."  69 is a type of "reborn" number.

 

There is much that we can read into the miners rescue.  Here is a listing of thier names and a total of their ages.  1300 is 13 X 100.  Thirteen is a number for rebellion, but also redemptive love (13 attributes of God's divine mercy).  I think of it as the prodigal number, but it can simply stand for rebellion.  It depends on whether one repents, or gnashes their teeth.
