BIBLE NUMERICS

The Number THIRTEEN

Thirteen is extremely easy to locate. There is no doubt about the number

Thirteen at all. Eighty-five percent of the thirteens in the Bible refer to

something bad. (You can check it out in every verse.) There are thirteen

words in the harlot's subscription in Revelation 17. There are thirteen

letters in Judas Iscariot, and he is mentioned in John 13:13 which has

thirteen words in it and thirty-nine letters which is three times thirteen.

The word "dragon" occurs thirteen times in Revelation. Nimrod, the first

type of Antichrist, is the thirteenth from Adam. The curse of the law is in

Galatians 3:13. You are delivered from the curse of the law in Acts 13:39--

multiples of thirteen. There are thirty-nine books in the Old Testament,

three times thirteen, and the last word is curse. There are thirteen evils

in the human heart which Jesus lists. There are twenty-six unclean animals.

(You might compare this with the list in Leviticus.) In Mark 1:13 you'll

find Satan showing up. You'll find forty save one for breaking the law

making thirty-nine stripes--thirty-nine--three times thirteen. There are

thirteen Baals in scripture. The king of Assyria (type of the Antichrist) is

mentioned thirteen times. The number 666 occurs in Ezra 2:13 and Revelation

13:18. You'll find it in II Chronicles 9:13, and another reference to the

Devil in Revelation 2:13. The other multiples of it like twenty-six and

thirty-nine and fifty-two are too numerous to mention. There is no doubt

about thirteen.

Thirteen has a well-founded superstition connected with it, and you may well

be highly suspicious of it, and have the psychiatrist think you are guilty

of tripskadekaphobia, but it makes no difference. The number thirteen has a

bad connotation about eighty-five percent of the time.

Paul wrote thirteen epistles, and he is the thirteenth apostle, and it is I

Corinthians that is the foundation and ground root of the National Council

of Churches. As a matter of fact, it is the Pauline epistles that people

stumble over and wrest to their own destruction (II Peter 3), and it is the

Pauline epistles that are placed aside by Rome in favor of the Jewish gospel

of Matthew to try to prove that Peter was the first bishop to Rome.

Thirteen will fix you; it'll fix you!

Is it possible there will be fifty-two states in the United States before

long? On the old dollar bill which was a silver certificate (not a federal

reserve note) there were twenty-six ones. E Pluribus Unum has thirteen

letters in it, and there were thirteen stars and thirteen stripes for the

original thirteen colonies that had a snake for a symbol on their flag with

the words, "Don't tread on me," which has thirteen letters in it. You may

notice the thirteen stars in the Confederacy--the losing side--have the X-

bar in the middle with the thirteen stars across it. Thirteen is the number

of rebellion. The first time it occurs in the Bible it says, "in the

thirteenth year they rebelled," Genesis 14. There is no doubt about that

number whatsoever.

Here we finish the numbers that can be deciphered accurately and positively,

except for the numbers forty and one thousand which are comparatively

simple.
