my shared study of the WORD related to
groups of three
starting with JOG.185.
An allegory of two groups of three.
“You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge.” Numbers 35.14.
To fully understand this verse one needs to study the verses around it; the actual division of the land both East & West of the Jordan; and the population of the 12 Tribes of Israel as they entered the promise land.
As I did this, something profound finally appeared to me: There were actually 13 Tribes of Israel as Moses prepared to pass on, and Joshua prepared to accept the staff from GOD for the Leadership of Israel, there is no Tribe for Joseph. Joseph’s two sons each received a share so 11+2=13, shares by population size. However, the Tribe of Levi was dedicated to the LORD for each of the tribes of Israel at the time of staking claim to the Promised Land, and to the service of the Tent of Meeting, which would become the Temple in Jerusalem. 2.5 Tribes stayed on the east side of the Jordan, thus Israel was split into IEOTJR, Israel East Of Jordan River; and IWOTJR, Israel West Of Jordan River.
Contemplation:
1. So the two groups of three only exist because of the East & West Split in the Nation of Israel.
2. So three is allegorically three places for un-knowers, the followers of the three religions, judaism-christianity-islam, to be kept until tried by GOD.
3. And a further allegory that 3+3 = 6 and the number for evil becomes 6.
4. Thus allegorically 3 evil religions each having a number 6 and you have 666 and alignment with Revelation Chapter 13. Appendix “c” pages 515-522 in “of GOD ?” a free download called TOG 1 of GOD 20Feb2016 in FREE STUFF !!!!
