Numbers
Jerry N. Watts
Revelation 1:4, 10-11, 20
• Numbers. Numbers are important to us. Whether it goes by arithmetic, math, algebra, geometry, calculus, trig, or any other name, NUMBERS are foundational for our society. They tell us much. They describe our age, weight, BP, Cholesterol, triglycerides, and more. With numbers, we program computers, travel to space, coach sports teams and more. Have you ever considered where we would be without numbers? We’d be in chaos. Years ago schools embraced a simple form of education which was jokingly referred to as the 3 R’s of learning: reading, ‘riting, & ‘rithmetic. ‘rithmetic is numbers & is vital. Literally, we do it by the numbers.
• As God conveyed his story, often He used symbols & numbers to be clear constant. Sermons are to be inspiration, information & integration. As I’ve said & you know, words change meanings from one generation to the next, symbols & numbers not so much. Numbers, in particular, are the constant in society. So God used His constant – numbers – to convey truths to His chosen & redeemed people.
• When we dare to look into both time & eternity, His numbers will be the key that unlocks some of the mysteries of His future. Let’s read. TEXT.
• In our verses, repeatedly we read the number SEVEN. In Rev 1, this word appears 11 or 12 times. Seven is a Key number in the scripture. In fact, Dr. James Merritt (and others) suggest that Revelation can be divided into Seven Sevens.

• These seven sevens are not by blind chance, but divine choice. God has a plan, and numbers give us a backdrop or a frame of reference to see.
1. Practical Science of Numbers - God has written two books for mankind. One is the Bible, and the other is “nature.” For years men have attempted to figure out & understand both books. In nature, the more tools we acquire the more we come to understand. Today we basically understand that the universe is driven by numbers. Whatever you study ...
