Hope: The Number 5
In Romans we have the word hope mentioned 15 times in 10 verses. In Hebrews we have the word hope mentioned 5 times in 5 verses. The number 5, the number of grace, is connected to all of these verses in the same preeminence that Christ had in the work of our salvation in these two books of Romans and Hebrews. In the book of Romans hope is mentioned 15 times; 15 is divided by 5, 3 times; also, the 15 mentions are in 10 verses. The number 5, the number of grace, divides into 10, 2 times. You have both the number of grace, and the number of witness. Five is 3 times into 15; the number 3 is the witness of the Godhead, the one God and the fullness of the Godhead as He displays His grace in His Son, Jesus Christ.
In the book of Hebrews, we have 5 mentions of hope, 5 times, in 5 separate verses; again, the wonderful witness of the Spirit of God, for we believe that the Spirit of God was quite active in preparing the King James Version for God’s people. In Hebrews hope is mentioned 5 times, in 5 verses, (5 x 5 = 25), again we have the number of witness and 5 the number of grace.
Line by line, precept by precept, here a little, there a little: a little word here, and the same word, there; there a little, here a little; a single number here, and a single number there, a number here and the same number there. What I am getting to is this: the understanding of any number is built on the many mentions of that number in Scripture. That is why I have chosen to include this very small section from the very large article titled Hope. It is only so those who are interesting can use these two very simple paragraphs as building blocks to understand the number 5 in Scripture.
