THE LAST NUMBERS IN SCRIPTURE
  The LAST book, the LAST Chapter, the LAST verse, and the LAST message in the New Testament and consequently, in the entire cannon of Scripture is The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Revelation 22:21) The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ ends with Chapter 22, verse 21. What a perfect ending. What a perfect address location.
 Let’s first view these numbers symbolically. (22:21) Four (4) numbers or four digits — 2221, of course, it is four numbers because four is the number of the world, the earth number. There are three (3) two’s 2 2 2, and of course, it has to be the number three because the number three is the number of the Godhead. Since the number two (2) is the number of witness and testimony, the word of God has to be completed with the triple number 2 for throughout the Bible God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit witnesses to the world of God’s grace and testifies of Jesus Christ as Lord. Then finally the word of God ends with the number one (1), GOD, because that is how the word of God begins by introducing us to GOD. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
   Having viewed these numbers symbolically, let us now look at them through baby math: 2 + 2 + 2 + 1= 7. God’s perfection is hidden in the numbers. Then, we have a new beginning in this arrangement: 2 x 2 x 2 x 1=8. Keep this in mind as we continue on with the last hidden message in the last numbers, in the last verse, in the last Chapter of the last book, the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ where Christ and His message is in the seen and in the unseen realm.
  In the beginning <re’shiyth>God <‘elohiym>created <bara’> <‘eth> the heaven <shamayim> and <‘eth> the earth. <‘erets> (Genesis 1:1)
The grace <charis> of our <hemon> Lord <kurios> Jesus <Iesous> Christ <Christos> be with <meta> you <humon> all. <pas> Amen. <amen> (Revelation 22:21)
  The biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek are considered to be dead languages; however, these languages reveal life through the Living Word of God. In the Hebrew language there are seven (7) words that begin the word of God in Genesis 1:1. In the beginning <re’shiyth> God <‘elohiym> created <bara’> <‘eth> the heaven <shamayim> and <‘eth> the earth. <‘erets> (Genesis 1:1) The word of God ends with nine (9) Greek words. The grace <charis> of our <hemon> Lord <kurios> Jesus <Iesous> Christ <Christos> be with <meta> you <humon> all. <pas> Amen. <amen>. Even through this we have a message. Through the first verse in first book of Genesis God reveals Himself through the number seven (7) as the complete perfection of God as the ‘elohiym, the Creator of all things.
  In the last verse in the last book of Revelation, God reveals Himself as the Lord Jesus Christ. In the last word in the Bible, amen, it marks not only the end of the Bible, but in the ninth word and the last word it is the conclusion of all that came before. The word Amen means ‘truly, truly;’ ‘verily, verily,’ or ‘surely, surely,’ or ‘so be it’ . . . ‘it is TRUE,’ the end. The number nine (9) is the number of conclusions. In this number, the number nine, we have the conclusion of the whole matter: the matter of evil, the matter of man’s sin, the matter of man’s judgment, the matter of the old heaven and the old earth comes to its conclusion because God establishes a new heaven and a new earth. Here in the new heaven and the new earth we have the number eight (8) the new beginning.Â
  Jehovah stated in the Old Testament through the prophet Isaiah in Chapter 66, verse 22, For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. In the New Testament in the last book of the Bible in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, God reaffirms that His message to Israel also includes all of His children, His people, His sons, and His redeemed ones are all ushered into a new heaven and a new earth. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Revelation 21:1)
  In this last verse it is God’s last message to the earth, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, God the Holy Spirit brings these numbers all together to glorify God through His Son, Jesus Christ. The number 7, God’s complete perfection; the number 8 in God’s new heaven and new earth; and number 9 is God’s perfect ending of a journey through His realm of the seen into His realm of the unseen.
