3 days!

Three (3), is a significant number. It represents completeness. 3 is referenced several times in scripture. I recently had a 3 experience. October 25, 2011 we viewed a possible place to house the ministry. On October 28, 2011 the third day, a contract was signed. We walked away with 3 keys to our new ministry home. What a completion! Do you have any experiences with 3?


The Number 3

    Another of the numbers where we can readily see God use it in a spiritual sense to signify something, is the number three. It is used of God to signify His Purpose or His Will! For example, when God sent the three messengers to Abraham to tell him that Sarah would conceive in her old age (Genesis 18), by the use of the number three we see in this an illustration that they came with God's "purpose and will" to Abraham. i.e., it was by the will of God and for His own purposes that Sarah should conceive so that God would make a great nation of Abraham through it.
The same illustration is seen as God brought a thick darkness upon the land of Egypt (exodus 10:22-23) for three days. In this, God's purpose and sovereign will of judgment is worked out. The number three illustrated that it was for God's purposes that they were in darkness while all the Children of Israel had light!
