Strong's Concordance numbers have a limit; a final value for both the Hebrew and Greek words. Those final values are:
Strong's 8674 HebrewStrong's 5624 greek
The total of the final two Strong's numbers is 8674 + 5624 = 14,298.
Here is another example of the remarkable associations that God assigned all of the numbers and number systems in His Word:
There are only two verses in God's Word that have a gematria total of 14298.The first verse is Matthew 20:60
"But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,..."
Switch number systems but still use the 14298 number. Go from Bible gematria numbers to Bible verse numbers:
Bible verse # 14298 = Psalm 27:12"Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
It is obvious, the 14298 number solidly ties an Old Testament prophecy about the betrayal of the Lord Jesus by "false witness" and the actual future record of the "false witnesses" in the book of Matthew, which you should read in context, of course.
Yes, it's obvious on a surface level, but like a puzzled Moses who turned aside to look at a burning bush that was not consumed, I wonder if we really understand what we are seeing.
I suspect not.
Jesus is Lord.
