Product Description
Unlocking the Numbers is for anyone who has wondered why, in the scriptures, everything seems to happen in forty years or forty days and why the Lord always seems to call on three witnesses. Aren’t two enough?George M. Peacock, who taught seminary and institute classes for nearly forty years, answers these and many other questions related to how and why numbers are used as symbols in the scriptures. He shows that numbers have messages that lend much to the accounts within which they are used. “If all things are created and made to bear record of God, surely the possibility exists that numbers bear record of Him,” writes the author. Unlocking the Numbers helps us appreciate the greater significance of numbers as it enlightens our minds and increases our understanding of what the Lord is really saying through his written word. ...

New levels of insights!
Idioms are as real in holy scripture as are prophecies and parables.

Like a cultural shorthand, they describe without using lengthy explanation. Idioms and idiomatic language are words and phrases that express more than the actual words themselves. They paint mental or emotional images and bring intensity to events and feelings described in holy writ.

Idioms may also be meaningless and misleading if the reader has no experience with the culture and language from which they originate.

Both mistranslation and cultural differences contribute to the misunderstanding of scriptural idioms. Phrases such as:

* Gird up your loins
* Salt of the Earth
* Mountain of the Lord's house, and
* Kick against the pricks

Lose their intended effect if they are only taken literally. In unlocking the idioms, George M. Peacock explains how to identify idioms, what they are, and how learning their meanings adds to your comprehension of the scriptures.

Unlocking the idioms brings you new levels of insight, understanding, and knowledge as you feast upon the words of the Lord.

I found this work to have many insightful clues to further deepen my understanding of holy scripture. ... Read more
