#5/FIVE/FIFTY=

Number 5 has been used as a symbol of love and marriage since ancient times. Loyalty is another name for angel number 5 as well. So, if number 5 appears somewhere in your life, it means that your guardian angel is sending you a message that has something to do with your love life.

The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 5

The number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor toward humans and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is ‘grace upon grace’ (John 1:16). The Ten Commandments contains two sets of 5 commandments. The first five commandments are related to our treatment and relationship with God, and the last five concern our relationship with others humans.

Appearances of the number five

There are 5 primary types of offerings God commanded Israel to bring to him. They are the Burnt Offering (Leviticus 1; 8:18 – 21; 16:24), Sin (Leviticus 4; 16:3 – 22), Trespass (Leviticus 5:14 – 19; 6:1 – 7; 7:1 – 6), Grain (Leviticus 2) and Peace Offering (Leviticus 3; 7:11- 34).

The Book of Psalms is divided into 5 major sections. Section 1 (Psalm 1 to 41) refers to the Passover, Israel’s beginning, and the start of the God’s plan of salvation that centers around Christ. Section 2 (42 to 72) sings about a unified Israel in the land and pictures the creation of the New Testament Church. The number 5 in the Bible is significant because his creation, the ‘man’ has five fingers, five senses and five toes. Thus it is the number of God’s grace. There are five great mysteries: Father, Son, Spirit, Creation and Redemption. After the fall of man creation was cursed and it became subject to vanity. So man and creation needed to be redeemed therefore number 5 is the number of God’s grace. The number five may also speak of the inability of man and his weakness as only when ‘man’ is weak does he needs God’s Grace. As only if a man is incapable, he would require God’s Grace.

Number 4 signifies man’s weakness and helplessness and number 5 i.e. 4+1 shows divine strength added to man’s weakness and vanity which of course, means God’s grace. Gematria is the name given to the process of assigning numbers to different words. The gematria of the word Earth would be 296 which, in fact, is a multiple of 4 and the gematria of the word Heaven is 395, which is a multiple of 5. Therefore, Earth, which is the land of the man, is synonymous to his weakness and vanity and Heaven is synonymous of God’s grace. But what do you mean by grace? Grace means favor, an act of kindness and support and favor can be of many types. Favor that is done for the unworthy, favor that is done for someone who doesn’t deserve it, that favor is called grace. God called upon Abram and promised to make his name great. Was there any reason behind it? Did God do that for any purpose? No. He did it without any cause, without any particular reason. This was an instance of God’s grace towards his creation.

God changed Abram’s name to Abraham. This is very significant. Not because God chose Abram or because God endowed upon him his grace, but, the change was made by inserting in between his name the fifth letter of the alphabet h (Hey). Another instance of God’s grace can be seen when David went to fight with the enemy of Israel who was a giant named Goliath. David chose five smooth stones. These five stones were significant of David’s weakness supplemented by a divine power (the number of stones being 4+1). David used only one stone (one with divine power) and not the other four stones to defeat and conquer the mighty enemy.

But God’s Grace should not be confused with merit or warrant. The scriptures tell us again and again through various examples that the grace and merit cannot exist together. However one can’t attain salvation from merit. This is because if the salvation could be achieved through merit then, the there would not be any requirement for God’s Grace. The fifth book of Psalms exemplifies the same great fact. The first Psalm (Psalm 107) magnifies this, and explains to us, how “He sent His word and healed them” (verse 20), and again and again delivered his men out of all their trouble. The importance of number 5 is further exemplified by the Fifth Psalm of the First Book. It has a special reference to the God’ Grace and tells us that God encompasses us all in his grace. The Fifth Book of the Bible (Deuteronomy) magnifies the grace of God, and in it special pains, so to speak, are taken to emphasis the great fact that not for the sake of the people, but for God’s own Name’s sake had He called, and chosen, and blessed them. In the Bible, there is also a reference to The Stone Kingdom. This kingdom would be the FIFTH kingdom after the world powers when all of the earth’s dominions would be combined to one single kingdom and then the almighty would take over them to rule over the along with his appointed one with glory and with grace. There are also certain phrases which repeat five times in the bible and they speak of God’s Grace “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” – All in Psalms 103 and 104, viz., 103:1, 2, 23 and 104:1, 35. The Talmud calls attention to this and says, “As God fills the earth and nourishes it, so He nourishes and blesses the soul.”

The various examples stated above tell us a great deal about the significance of the number five in the biblical literature. It tells us through the Gematria that the importance of this number is huge as it signifies the grace of God. Also through the various examples of David, The Fifth Book of Psalms, The fifth kingdom etc that how again and again God has showed Grace to his creation. The number five is the symbol of God’s grace. Grace should never be confused with merit, because merit is only for the worthy. But unlike merit, grace is for everyone without any prejudice and preconception.

#2/TWO=The Secret Meaning and Symbolism

Angel number 2 is a symbol of your soul mission and Divine life purpose that you have in life. It may also symbolize trust, faith and love. Your angels may be sending you number 2, just to be sure how patient you are.

The number two has a great significance in the Bible. Number one stands for unity and stands for no differences but the number two is affirmative of the differences that exist. Thus number two says there is another while number one is for no other. The difference that number two represents may be good or may be bad. This means that good can differ from evil or evil could differ from good. Thus number two has a two fold significance which is relevant is decided according to the context. It is the first number which can divide any other number therefore it is a supporter of the basic fundamental division. When related to man the number two signifies his fall and the differences imply opposition, enmity and oppression. In the Creation the second thing that is recorded is light, and immediately it is related to division because God had divided light from darkness. Therefore the second day of creation saw divisions. The second chapter of the Bible talks about God’s creation of Adam and thus marks the beginning of God’s relationship with man. This consequently also marks the commencement of man’s disobedience towards God and his separation from the God.

The second number of anything speaks and implies to the differences that exist. The second statement of the Bible is “And the earth was without form and void”. The first statement of the Bible speaks of the Divine perfection and of the order that exists in things whereas the second statement denotes the ruins and devastation. The holy Book of Genesis is divided into twelve parts, comprising of one introduction and eleven Tol’doth. The first division speaks of God and the perfection in Divine works. The second part talks of the fall. It introduces enmity for the first time. The second book of the Bible opens with the enemy’s oppression. The act of redemption is also mentioned for the first time in the second book and in relation with enemy. The Old Testament is divided into parts, the third great part we have the second book The Book of Job. Here the enemy is very powerful and a child of God is oppressed and opposed. The second book of Psalms as well as the second Psalm of every book talks about enmity and oppression and opposition. A man to be complete should have three things body, mind and spirit. Without spirit only two aspects are complete man is spiritually dead.

In the New Testament there are two Epistles and the second among them has a direct relation to enemy. A number of words exist which occur twice in the scriptures and all are related to enmity. Like choking, enjoyment, begetting, vapor, difference, strong man, perish, strength, liar, to divide, thrust, weep, enchantment, thorn, vessels, excess, madness, unholy, unstable, disorderly, chaff, etc. The list of such words is very long and to a reader who carefully studies the Bible these words is very significant. Such a reader will realize that all the words which occur twice are all related to enemy and opposition. It is a remarkable observation that the words which are related to Testimony occur twice, like to tell the truth, immutable, comprehend, confirmation, title, without repentance, written in, justification and received the law. The second might be something which has come to provide help and to provide comfort. But unfortunately when studied with respect to human it is always related to enmity and oppression. Rebekah was pregnant with two sons Jacob and Esau and they struggled all through their lives and also inside the womb of their mother. This is a great example of two who are contrast to each other and are also opposed to each other. On the second day of the creation God divided the waters from the waters and the second say was the only day when God did not see what he was doing was it for good or not. Therefore god has also marked number two as different from all other numbers. He chose the second day only as the day for division of waters from water and of light from darkness.

Thus we see that everywhere the number two occurs it denotes enmity, opposition and oppression. It marks division. It is symbolic of man’s separation from God which is the reason for man’s miseries and the unrest which exists in the man’s world. The number two is symbolic of the differences that exist, be it the difference of good from evil or of evil from good. But alas in context of man it is always related with enmity and oppression and stands for his willful disobedience towards God. The number two wherever related to man signify his fall and his separation from God. It signifies the spiritual death of man which is considered as a punishment for one who commits a sin.
