John and Doves,
Yesterday at the shops my wife spent a long time at the flower shop selecting some artificial flowers for decorating our home. The bill at the end of this lengthy process? $37.00 Australian! ( You may recall that Dan Matson used 37 diagrams in his book Signs of the End) 37 represents The Word of God. As I prepared to send this email I went to count these flowers to see if any other patterns might be discerned. There is one bunch of 15 and six others making 21 altogether or 7+7+7, God's seal triplicated. Also 15 is 5+5+5 and the six others is 2+2+2.
According to Bullinger, 2 stands for difference or division and five is the number for Grace.
FC Payne, who wrote Seal of God, might well say that this event shows that the Word of God (37) confirms that His Grace (5) applies to those who are different (2) or separate, who are sealed by God (7).
As these flowers are artificial they are more or less everlasting so will be from 'everlasting to everlasting'.
This phrase appears in three Psalms only - Psalm 90:2, Psalm 103:17, and, yes, Psalm 106:48 which contains the "Amen. Praise ye the LORD" at the end. Add all the individual digits of these verse references and we get 42 or 2 x 21 or 6 x 7's or 7+7+7 twice over.
Psalm 90:2 (KJV) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.Psalm 103:17 (KJV) But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Psalm 106:48 (KJV) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
Indeed, Amen. Praise ye the LORD!
Blessings,
Phil.
