CFL 17: Symbols in Scripture
Catholic Foundation Library
Catholic Foundation Library #17 In this lecture we will look at the symbolic meaning of numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 100, 1,000, 144,000, what do these numbers mean? Does 144,000 mean exactly 144,000? As with everything else, we need to realize that the ancients looked at numbers differently and ascribed different meanings to them. It is important for us to recover this meaning so that we may properly understand their usage in the Bible. Highlights Why is 666 the number of the beast? Where in the bible is 666 mentioned first? If 666 is the number of the beast, what would 777 mean? Why?
