Many of the numbers in the Bible are more than just numbers, with prophetic or spiritual significance. Both in the Old and New Testaments, numbers reveal hidden concepts and meanings that commonly escape the casual reader. Throughout history, men with great minds, like Augustine, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo Da Vinci, showed more than just a passing curiosity regarding the importance of biblical numbers. Jesus said, “The very hairs of your head are numbered” (Matthew 10:30). So it would seem that Bible numbers should be carefully considered.
In today’s top ten list, we consider 10 numbers used in the book of Revelation. They include numbers of deep prophetic import like three, seven, twelve, and 144,000. Additional scriptures referenced include Revelation 13:8; Revelation 2:10; Revelation 21:12; and various texts throughout the book of Revelation.
