BY THE NUMBERS

Significance of the numbers: 3, 40, 50, 70, 120, 430 and A Single Day! (1 day/1 night)
• There has been 120 Jubilee’s since Adam to our day.
• 50 Jubilee’s from Adam to the Israelites entering The Promised Land.
• 30 Jubilee’s from The Promised Land to Jesus.
• 40 Jubilee’s from Jesus to our day.
50
o After Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene on Sunday morning, April 9 in 30 A.D., he ascended to the Father in heaven (John 20:17). His ascension, as a type of firstfruit from the dead (Revelation 1:5), occurred on the day God told the Israelites they were to wave a sheaf composed of the firstfruits of their harvest (Leviticus 23:9 - 11). It is on this day that the count of 50 days to the Feast of Pentecost begins.
o God promised Abraham that if he found only 50 righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah he would not destroy both cities (Genesis 18:23 - 26).
o Fifty also symbolizes deliverance or freedom from a burden. God commanded ancient Israel that every 50th year, on the Day of Atonement, that a Jubilee was to be declared with the sound of a trumpet (Leviticus 25). During the Jubilee year ALL debts were settled in favor of the debtor and inheritances were returned to their rightful owners. Also, those who worked as slave laborers in order to repay a debt were granted their freedom to return home to their families and land.
30
o Both John The Baptist and Jesus began their ministry at age thirty
o Jesus was betrayed by Judas for 30 silver coins, which was a fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 11:12)
o Abraham was promised that if God found at least thirty righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah he would not destroy the cities (Genesis 18:30).
o Both the death of Aaron and Moses was mourned by the children of Israel for 30 days (Numbers 20:29, Deuteronomy 34:8).
o Joseph, a type of Jesus, was thirty years old when Egypt's Pharaoh placed him in charge over all that he ruled.
o King David began to reign over Israel, was thirty years old (2Samuel 5:4).
40
o 40 symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation.
o Moses lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert before the burning bush, then forty years wandering in the wilderness with the Israelites.
o Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 - 28)
o Moses sent spies, for forty days, to investigate The Land of Promise (Numbers 13:25, 14:34)
o Abraham tried to bargain with God to NOT destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if forty righteous people were found (Genesis 18:29).
o Both Isaac and Esau were forty years old when they were first married (Genesis 25:20, 26:34).
o God flooded the earth by having it rain for forty days and nights (Genesis 7:12).
o After the patriarch Jacob (Israel) died in Egypt, the Egyptians spent forty days embalming his body (Genesis 50:3).
120
o The number 120 signifies the passing away the age of the flesh and the beginning of the age of the Spirit.
“My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years” Genesis 6:3
Moses lived 120 and died just prior to the Hebrews entering in to “The Promised Land” Deut. 34:7
120 Priests with King Solomon when they brought the Ark of the Covenant up to Jerusalem. 2nd Chronicles 5:12
120 were gathered in the upper room when to the Holy Spirit came upon them.
The first Gentile Believer Cornelius who lived in Caesarea (which is 120 miles North of Jerusalem).
PETRA is 120 SE of Jerusalem, Petra will be the hiding place in the future.
120 members in the modern day Israeli Knesset who govern Israel.
There are 120 Jubilees
A Jubilee is a 50-year Jewish cycles that removed every man out of captivity & into his own land.
120 of these Jubilees (50 years) = 6,000 years of man.
***
• Noah also saw a 120-day period that led up to the destruction of his ancient world. At Genesis 6:3 we find God saying that he was going to destroy both men and animals in just 120 more years, and that's when He gave Noah the order to build the chest (ark) to save the lives of his family and selected animals.
***
Three times we read that righteous seed was (is) trying to be destroyed.
1. Moses' life started with an attempt to kill him as a newborn baby in Egypt.
2. At the time of Jesus' birth, when Joseph and Mary had to flee to Egypt to save the baby's life.
3. Then we read of the same type of thing happening a third time at Revelation 12:4. And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
***
• The Children of Israel were in Egypt for 430 years before their Exodus.
• Moses was about 40 years old, he killed an Egyptian and fled the country to live in the land of Midian.
• 40 years later God spoke to Moses from the burning bush.
• Then add another 40-year period that the Israelites spent wandering in the desert making Moses exactly 120-years-old (see Deuteronomy 34:7), Moses died and the Israelites entered the Promised Land.
• Moses instructed the Israelites to put blood on 3 posts of their doors. (Left, right & top) (Exodus 12:7)
• 120-day period started when Moses went up Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. Then after spending 40 days on the mountain (Exodus 24:18), he returned to find that the Israelites had built a gold calf to worship. So, he threw the tablets down and broke them. Thereafter, Moses started a 40-day fast as he begged God to forgive the people (Deuteronomy 9:18). Then, he went back up the mountain to create duplicate stone tablets, where he stayed for another 40 days (Exodus 34:28), after which the people agreed to follow God's laws.
• Israelites spent 40 days spying out the Promised Land. (Numbers 14:34)
• The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. (Numbers 14:33 & Numbers 32:13)
• Moses calls 70 elders to see God. (Numbers 11:16,24-25)
***
• A 120-year period that is broken into three 40-year parts, is the combined reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, each reigned for exactly 40 years.
1. Saul’s turbulent and imperfect 40-year reign that leads up to the coming of the greater King David. (Symbolic of the imperfect Presidential reigns [45] in America the Last Days?)
2. The 40-year reign of King David was one of turmoil, war, and the defeat of Israel’s enemies. (Last Day Tribulations & Wars?)
3. The peaceful 40-year reign of Solomon during which God's Temple was built. (Symbolic of The Millennium time of Peace?
***
• Ezekiel was instructed to lie on his left side for 390 days and then on his right sided for 40 days, to indicate when the 10-tribes of Israel and the 2-tribe kingdom of Judah would be destroyed, all of which was to culminate at the end of 390 years… the last 40-year portion being the destruction of the tribe of Judah. (see Ezekiel 4:5, 6).
***
• Jonah was in the fish for 3 days and 3 nights.
• Jonah gave Ninevah 40 days warning.
• There was 120K people in Ninevah. (sixscore thousand) (Jonah 4:11)
• The gourd grew up in one day.
• The gourd was withered in one night.
***
• Jesus was Resurrected on the 3rd day.
• Jesus (as a Resurrected being) taught His disciples for 40 days. (Acts 1-chapter heading- Jesus ministers for forty days after His resurrection)
• The kingdom is restored back to the Jews a 40 Jubilee’s later. (Acts 1-chapter heading- The kingdom is to be restored to Israel at a later time)
• 40 year period from the time that Jesus started his ministry until Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans (in 70-CE)… and possibly even one more 40-year period between the time of his death and the final conquest of Masada in 73-CE.
• Pentecost happened in the 3rd hour of that day (9am). (Acts 2:15)
• Peter instructs the Jews present to do 3 things. (1) Repent, (2) be baptized and (3) Receive the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38)
• In one-day 3K souls were baptized following Pentecostal miracles! (Acts 2:41)
Questions:
If any of the above is significant, it raises many other questions that deserve further investigation. Some of these are:
1. What does the beginning of the first 40-year period (the saving of the child in both Moses’ and Jesus’ births) signify for God's people today?
2. Will the second 40-year period in Moses' life that ended with God's deliverance of His people from Egypt have a modern fulfillment?
3. Will the last 40-year period 'in the desert' also have a modern fulfillment?
4. Does the complete 120-year period have a modern fulfillment? And if so, when will (or did it) begin?
5. If Moses served 120 years, and Jesus served 33, then the Last Days Davidic Servant will serve 3 years?
Notice that 40-years is the typical length of the life of a single adult generation, as the 40-year trek in the desert shows. So, if the 120-year period has a modern fulfillment, it seems to picture three generations.
