The Importance of the Number 3 in the Bible

THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God), all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities.

- The three qualities of universe are each three:

Time is one yet three

Space is one yet three

Matter is one yet three

Past Present Future

Height Width Depth

Solid Liquid Gas

We live in a Trinity of Trinities: Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made..."

If you are a trichotomist then man is made of three parts:

Body

Soul

Spirit

Human abilities are three

Thought

Word

Deed

The divine attributes are three fold:

God is:

Omniscient Omnipresent Omnipotent

Love Light Spirit

Holy Righteous Just

Three bear witness (1 John 5:8):

Spirit

Water

Blood

Christ is Three Shepherds

The Good Shepherd (John 10:14-15) - speaking of His death The Great Shepherd (Heb. 13:20) - speaking of His resurrection The Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4) - speaking of His glory

The Three appearances of Christ:

Past: Present: Future:

Has appeared (Heb. 9:26) to put away sin Is appearing (Heb. 9:24) in the presence of God Will appear (Heb. 9:28) to those who await Him

The Father spoke from Heaven three times:

- Matt. 3:17, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." - Matt. 17:5, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him." - John 12:28, "I have both glorified it [the Father's name], and will glorify it again."

Both the Tabernacle and the Temple consisted of three parts:
