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.
