Introduction
There are three great attributes. There’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. That means God is everywhere.
The Lord knows what you do, what you say, and what you think each moment of your life (Psalm 139: 1 – 4).
The Lord is everywhere, throughout the entire Universe, at the same time (Psalm 139: 7 – 10).
The Lord’s thoughts towards you are precious. You cannot count the number of His thoughts towards you because they have been from eternity and will last into eternity. That is why His thoughts towards you “are more in number than the sand”. Psalm 139: 17 – 18.
All things work together for your good (Romans 8: 28).
The Lord keeps track of His thoughts towards each one of us at the same time that He keeps track of all the stars and all of His Angels, all without number. Isaiah 40: 25 – 26; Hebrews 12: 22.
The Lord is able to do all of these because He is infinite. He is the eternal One. He is the Lord Jesus. Isaiah 9: 6 calls the Lord Jesus “The mighty God”.
“Ye cannot number me as a man knoweth numbers in the material world, but in the spiritual world, I am infinite without number. In the beginning I was that word and dwelt among men (in Jesus) Behold at first my own disciples did not understand this, but Paul my Beloved servant declared it, when he said – For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visable and invisable, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities or powers: All things were created by Him and for Him. “I am God in the heavens! I am God in the Son! I am God in the Holy Ghost! I am one in three fold manifestation. And if any man saith unto thee this prophecy is false, then he understandeth not the things of God, among the living. And I will appoint his portion among the hypocrites, and his days shall quickly be forgotten. I am Alpha! and Omega! The first! and the last! I am the Lord there is no other God besides me. I am hidden in Jesus, revealed to my Elect, whom I foreknew from the beginning! Even the mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to my saints. AMEN!
Everything is numbered. God has the hairs on your head numbered, saith the Lord; there He’s talking, that’s Scripture. You say that every hair that I’ve grown, that’s fallen out, and the hairs that are on my head, are numbered. Oh sure. He’s already pre-calculated everything that went in your body.
God talks in numbers. God talks in symbols.
Now, if you knew the secret to all of the numerical values, and the symbols, in the Bible, you would be able to revelate the translation, but you don’t know all of that, but He’s got the translation of the Lord, that’s coming at the end of the age. And when the last one under grace, of the elect, He knows the last ones, or group that comes together, He knows that last one. He knows the exact minute, second, and day, and year, that that translation is going to take place. It is already numerical down; He’s got it down.
The Lord has an eternal plan for you. Your situation in this life, or where you live, does not matter. He sent you here as a point of light in flesh, and He will take you back as a point of light.
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
We come as points of lights.
Now, one day, by not rejecting the word, but believing the word, one day, you are going to change back to that point of light, but it will be enhanced and glorified.
A point of light sent by God.
How can He bring in a beam of light here in flesh and take you back in a beam of light and put you up in front of Him and say you will live on and on; there is no time limit and He’s already purposed it.
You want to thank the Lord Jesus with all of your heart because He is bringing you back to Him. He is coming for us soon, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord”.
You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon
We listened to a sermon titled “Numericals Revelate”, CD # 1218, by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
Every once in a while, we get involved, because the Bible, are full of numerical values even to the 153 fish that the Apostles caught, and they counted them out, and the 12 disciples, and so forth like that.
All the way through, there’s a reason for numbers, and there’s a reason for symbols, and so forth.
“One” declares there is not another. He said, hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one, “two” is something else then.
And you remember in Daniel the prophet, when he was talking, there was a great image come down, and at the bottom it was divided, where your legs are, and it was iron, down at the bottom of it was iron and clay. That shows it comes together, but it shows division, it’ll come apart at the end.
Also, there is a spiritual kingdom, and there is a material kingdom, and these are in conflict many times.
Two is the number that can be divided. You can’t divide one, but two can be divided. It therefore indicates the possibility of division or difference.
The number two may have good or bad import.
Now the first verse in the Bible speaks of God in the beginning. And then the second verse speaks of chaos, of conditions, of universal ruin, and darkness across the earth. A void in the second verse, a difference there now.
And then we find here on the second day of creation there was a division. God said let there be a firmament in the midst of the heavens, Genesis 1: 6.
The man placed in the garden of Eden was the first Adam. He sinned; he fell. Christ, the second Adam came, and He redeemed the descendants of the first.
The Scriptures speak of two ways. There is the way of Cain, Jude 11, and the way of God, Acts 18: 26, and they deal with two classes of people. You have your saints, you have your sinners. There are two destinies, and we know that there is up and down, and there is heaven and hell.
Numerical values, the name of this sermon, revelate. They tell a story.
There is good, there is evil. Two therefore is the number that signifies difference.
God is one. No difference with him. He gets along well.
“Three”, divine perfection. There are three great attributes. There’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. That means God is everywhere. He is all power, and so forth like that.
And there are three great divisions of time. There is time, past, present and future, and eternal.
“Four”, a world number. It’s a creative number.
As three is the number of divine perfection, so four, being three plus one, is the number of creative works.
Four is a world number, or the number of material completeness, yet it is a creative number.
There are four cardinal directions of the compass. There is north, the south, east, and west. North, they say, where Satan fell, or up in the north. And then, the Bible says in the south, it speaks of the chambers of the south. It talks about the east, as the lightning shining from the east even to the west. Those are spiritual things.
There are four seasons of the year, winter, summer, spring and fall. One time man had one season.
Now there are four Cherubims, or four living creatures, who sang of the creation, Revelation 4: 6, 11. Those four sang of the creation, the most holy to God.
Then in Revelation chapter four there is an open door, and a trumpet, and he was caught up. It’s symbolic of the translation. That is the number four of Revelation, chapter four; it’s associated to translation.
Four is also associated to creative things, and it can be associated to the world.
The river that flowed out of Eden into the earth parted, and it became four heads, Genesis 2: 10. There’s where civilization sprang forth into four heads of those rivers.
Now the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The four Gospels present Christ in four different aspects of His earthly life, King, Servant, Son of man, Son of God, and all of these wrapped up in King.
“Five”, the number of redemption.
Creation, represented by the number four, was marred through sin and the fall. Hence, creation must be redeemed.
One of the promises of God given to the children of Israel was that five of you shall chase a hundred. Five to chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight.
Now remember, Gideon had thousands, and thousands, and thousands, and thousands, and the Lord got him down to those that were really strong in faith. He got right down to the bottom of things out of thirty something thousand, and when He did, He got him right down to three hundred. And He told Gideon that’s all you’re going to need; they’re better than the other thirty thousand.
See how God’s church is going to be at the end of the age when He draws out of all, with a great revival of power. And when He draws that right down, they’re going up to victory, because He has the real thing, He has the believer, He has the one that’s the intercessor, He has the one that has the gifts. He has the one that has the power. He has the one that has that definite faith.
So, you have a hundred, and you can chase ten thousand of them in God’s power in Leviticus 26: 8. And it was not that five should chase a hundred, but five of you, that is, those that are redeemed, those that have faith, can chase a thousand of them, thousands of them.
David took five. There is that number again, five stones. And he went up against the giant, and we know the story, but there was that number five again. He’s fixing to redeem them out of the hands of the giant.
And David took those five stones. It’s like the headstone. He picked one out, and he took that stone, and when he sent it forth, it went right straight to its mark. And after the giant fell, it said the thousands fled. One put thousands to flight. That was faith, that was power, that was behind what he had in his hand. It wasn’t just the ability to put it there, but he had the right amount of faith and power to stand there, and that’s what counted. But not only did he know what he was doing when he stood there, he was steady. He stood there with great faith. He had great courage in his heart. You don’t want to go there without courage. In other words, saith the Lord, he had more faith and courage than the giant and he fell. He won. He had more faith, and he had more power, than that giant, and he went down. Without that faith, and without that power, it could not have been done.
These five stones could be said to be a type of the fivefold ministry.
Now there are nine gifts in the Bible, we know that. Then there is fivefold ministry of the apostles, the miracle workers, and so forth, the evangelists, and the prophet, and so forth like that. There’s five. And so, it says to be a type of the fivefold ministry which Christ gave to the redeemed body of the church in Ephesians 4: 7 and 11. In other words, the fivefold ministry put the giant down.
We find out, at the very end of the age, in the numerical values, you break the nine up, you’ve got three, divine perfection reveal; three, divine perfection fulfill; that’s nine gifts. But if they refuse those gifts, number nine means judgment; it’s not broken up.
After the nine, then you have the fivefold ministry to the church which is very potent and powerful. So, besides the nine gifts, and the fruits of the Spirit, you have that great fivefold ministry to the church. There are five of those great ministries to the church, and there’s nine of those great gifts.
According to the Scriptures, the only way that God ever gave, and wanted the church people to work, and wanted it done, was by the power of deliverance, by the power of miracles. When you preach salvation, He didn’t want to just preach salvation alone, but He wanted all of it preached together. He said this gospel, and when you get it all together, you have all the gifts, and you have all the power of God, and that’s exactly the way He’s going to deliver those that are going in that translation. He is going to do it by the power of the gifts that He gives, and the anointing, and He’s going to do it by the word of salvation that He preaches. Now, that’s God’s way.
God talks in numbers. God talks in symbols.
Did you know, if you went back from the beginning of the Bible, and you began to watch all of the symbols, like sometimes a tree will mean a certain thing, sometimes an eagle would mean a certain thing, sometimes you’ll have the breastplate meaning a certain thing, other times the stars, the sun, and moon, will mean a certain thing tied to a vision or a dream. When you go through, there’s all kinds of those symbols. You can almost, and you can preach the gospel from those symbols. They’ll revelate deeper truths than even sometimes you read in there. He’s got a Bible within a Bible, within a Bible, within a Bible, of numerical values, and symbols, and so forth like that.
The book of Revelations, Zechariah, and so forth, and Daniel, are full of symbols that are sent from God. Daniel is wrapped up in symbols in there, of animals, and kingdoms, and so forth like that, strange as they may may look, and they are, therefore, for a divine purpose, the same as numerical values.
“Six”, the number of man, as five is a number of redemption. So, adding something to it makes the grace of God of none effect. If you add anything to God’s words, you make the grace of God of none effect. Preachers take away from this word of God, say, I don’t believe that Scripture, or I think we better put some more to this Scripture, but you cannot touch those Scriptures.
Man was created on the sixth day; six days were appointed for his labor. The serpent also was created on the sixth day.
Abraham’s six intercessions for Sodom fell short of saving Sodom. And that is Genesis 18.
Now the golden image, which Nebuchadnezzar commanded the three Hebrew children to worship or be cast into the fiery furnace, was sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, Daniel 3: 1.
Six is expressed in its intensive form by number 666 which is found in Revelation 13: 13, through about 18.
But never try to work your life, or your name, or whatever it is, out in numerical values. Just let that go. That’s to God.
We find out Abraham was ninety-nine, Sodom went up in smoke at the exact birthday.
Everything is numbered. God has the hairs on your head numbered, saith the Lord; there He’s talking, that’s Scripture. You say that every hair that I’ve grown, that’s fallen out, and the hairs that are on my head, are numbered. Oh sure. He’s already pre-calculated everything that went in your body.
Now, if you knew the secret to all of the numerical values, and the symbols, in the Bible, you would be able to revelate the translation, but you don’t know all of that, but He’s got the translation of the Lord, that’s coming at the end of the age. And when the last one under grace, of the elect, He knows the last ones, or group that comes together, He knows that last one. He knows the exact minute, second, and day, and year, that that translation is going to take place. It is already numerical down; He’s got it down.
He said the elect wouldn’t know the exact hour or day. He didn’t say week or year. He didn’t say that. But He said they won’t know the exact hour or day. At the end of the age, meaning that He would bring the elect, those that had faith, and those that believed God, that He would bring them right up to knowing the season was so close that they were getting life. They’re fixing to get out of here. See, they just feel it coming.
He knows the exact time, but no one else does. He may bring it right in close, but He’s the only one that holds that key. But it’s on record, and He knows it.
Scripture Reading
I read from Scroll # 68:
NUMBERS, PATTERNS AND SYMBOLS ARE VERY IMPORTANT – I did some research on them but most all including the revelation part came strictly from the spirit – No. “ONE” is the whole source like God is the whole source, it is the symbol of unity. – Infinite like God no number come before it except 0, and a circle speaks of infinite, no beginning nor end! Denote (Gen. 1:1) in the beginning. Rev. 1:11, 17 first and last, source of all! The Lord’s “spiritual rays” work in three patterns revealing 7 spiritual expressions. (Rev. 4:5) Although there are three offices the spirit works in, nevertheless it all returns back to the One God! (Isa. 43:3, 10, 11) – “Thus saith the living God!” One is the symbol of the creator. “Jesus said, hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord!” (Mark 12:29)
NEXT “TWO” – No. two implies differences and separation.
NO. “THREE” – three divine perfection –
“FOUR” – Number of world, a materialistic number, but it is also a number used by God.
“FIVE” is the number of redemption, Salvation.
“SIX” represents the number of man.
But never try to work your life, or your name, or whatever it is, out in numerical values. Just let that go. That’s to God.
There are three great attributes. There’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. That means God is everywhere.
The Lord knows what you do, what you say, and what you think each moment of your life.
The Lord is everywhere, throughout the entire Universe, at the same time.
“O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”Psalm 139: 1 – 12
The Lord’s thoughts towards you are precious. You cannot count the number of His thoughts towards you because they have been from eternity and will last into eternity. That is why His thoughts towards you “are more in number than the sand”.
“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.”Psalm 139: 17 – 18
All things work together for your good.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”Romans 8: 28
The Lord keeps track of His thoughts towards each one of us at the same time that He keeps track of all the stars and all of His Angels, all without number.
“To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.”Isaiah 40: 25 – 26
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels”Hebrews 12: 22
The Lord is able to do all of these because He is infinite. He is the eternal One. He is the Lord Jesus. Isaiah 9: 6 calls the Lord Jesus “The mighty God”.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9: 6
I read from Scroll # 17:
BEHOLD SAITH THE ALMIGHTY – read Rev. 5: 6 – “Ye cannot number me as a man knoweth numbers in the material world, but in the spiritual world, I am infinite without number. And the 7 revelations of me are my word. In the beginning I was that word and dwelt among men (in Jesus) Behold at first my own disciples did not understand this, but Paul my Beloved servant declared it, when he said – For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visable and invisable, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities or powers: All things were created by Him and for Him. Read. Col. 1 : 13 – 17 – “I am God in the heavens! I am God in the Son! I am God in the Holy Ghost! I am one in three fold manifestation. And if any man saith unto thee this prophecy is false, then he understandeth not the things of God, among the living. And I will appoint his portion among the hypocrites, and his days shall quickly be forgotten. I am Alpha! and Omega! The first! and the last! I am the Lord there is no other God besides me. I am hidden in Jesus, revealed to my Elect, whom I foreknew from the beginning! Who I will give power to foresee me (as I am) in my Glory – (body) Even the mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to my saints. AMEN!
Everything is numbered. God has the hairs on your head numbered, saith the Lord; there He’s talking, that’s Scripture. You say that every hair that I’ve grown, that’s fallen out, and the hairs that are on my head, are numbered. Oh sure. He’s already pre-calculated everything that went in your body.
God talks in numbers. God talks in symbols.
Now, if you knew the secret to all of the numerical values, and the symbols, in the Bible, you would be able to revelate the translation, but you don’t know all of that, but He’s got the translation of the Lord, that’s coming at the end of the age. And when the last one under grace, of the elect, He knows the last ones, or group that comes together, He knows that last one. He knows the exact minute, second, and day, and year, that that translation is going to take place. It is already numerical down; He’s got it down.
The Lord has an eternal plan for you. Your situation in this life, or where you live, does not matter. He sent you here as a point of light in flesh, and He will take you back as a point of light.
In the sermon titled “God’s Greatness”, CD # 1241, Brother Neal Frisby stated:
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
We come as points of lights.
Now, one day, by not rejecting the word, but believing the word, one day, you are going to change back to that point of light, but it will be enhanced and glorified.
A point of light sent by God.
How can He bring in a beam of light here in flesh and take you back in a beam of light and put you up in front of Him and say you will live on and on; there is no time limit and He’s already purposed it.
You want to thank the Lord Jesus with all of your heart because He is bringing you back to Him. He is coming for us soon, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord”.
You will be blessed.
