What Does The Number 14 Mean In Biblical Numerology

The number 14 is used twenty-two times in the Bible to indicate rescue or salvation. The word “14th” appears in the Bible 24 times.

The Passover is celebrated on the fourteenth day of the first month, when God saved Israel's firstborn from death. God made two covenant promises to Abraham 430 years ago, on the night of the 14th day of the first month, one of the physical seed, Isaac, and his descendants, and the other of the spiritual seed, Jesus Christ, and the sons of God who would come through Him, who would shine like the stars of sky (Matthew 13:43). God validated the vows with a special covenant sacrifice on the 14th day of the month.

“After these things, Abram received a vision from the Lord, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram.' ‘I am your shield, and I am your magnificent reward.' But Abram said, “Lord GOD, what would You provide me now that I am childless and my house's successor is Eliezer of Damascus?”

“And behold, the Lord spoke to him, saying, ‘This one shall not be your heir, but one from your own flesh shall be your heir.' ‘Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you can count them,' He urged as he led him outside. ‘So shall your descendants be,' He said to him.” (NKJV, Genesis 15:1–2, 4–5, NKJV).

What is the significance of 14 generations in the Bible?

The figures could be related to Daniel 9:24–27, which indicates that seventy weeks, or 490 years, will pass between the restoration of Jerusalem and the arrival of the messiah. Since generations are typically 35 years long, this equates to exactly 14 generations. According to W. D. Davies and Dale Allison, this could be related to the lunar calendar. The lunar month is 28 days long, with 14 waxing days and 14 declining days. As a result, the first grouping might be the original waxing to David, the next fourteen the waning to the Babylonian exile, and the final grouping the waxing to Jesus.

The number 14 is significant in and of itself. It is twice the number 7, which was once thought to be a sacred number. When David's name is converted to numbers, it equals fourteen. Three 14-person groups are equivalent to six 7-person groups. According to W. D. Davies and Dale Allison, the first six periods correspond to the first six days of the week; with Jesus, the seventh day, the eternal Sabbath, begins. Matthew's enumeration may be an average estimate of Israel's periodic generations, but it is more likely to imply that Israel was due for its Messiah's arrival with the birth of Jesus, just as the new Elijah was in Matthew 3:4.

Some interpretations focus on the number fourteen's meaning without taking into account the element of three.

By beginning and finishing four key moments of time (Abraham; King David; Babylonian Exile; Messiah), the three sets of fourteens split the generations into three different periods (the middle two points, by overlapping periods, function doubly as end points and beginning points).

The number three (either three groups or three beginning points and three ending points) could be as significant as fourteen.

Throughout the history of interpretation, more than fifteen different interpretations of the genealogical summary have been proposed.

What is the God number in numerology?

God's teaching and grace are represented by the number 5. For example, the Book of Psalms is divided into five sections, or the Laws are divided into five books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

Is the number 14 lucky?

The number 14 is thought to be the most unlucky of all the unlucky numbers. The ‘1' in 14 does not stand for loneliness; instead, it stands for ‘guaranteed.' As a result, the number will be interpreted as ‘certain death.' Though pronounced'shi si,' it means ‘ten die;' it is often referred to as ‘yi si' or ‘yao si,' which means ‘desire to die.' This number is called'sap ser' in Cantonese, which sounds like the words ‘surely die,' while number 4 in Chiu Chow is pronounced differently to imply ‘yes' or'see.' The number 14 is regarded neutral by a few because of the various connotations emanating from different regions of China.

What is interesting about the number fourteen?

How many years was it from Adam to Jesus?

The timeline below is based on the first edition of the King James Bible, which was published in 1801 by Philadelphia printer Matthew Carey. Rev. James Ussher's Annals of the World, first published in 1658, is closely followed in the chronology presented. From creation through the destruction of Jerusalem, Ussher's chronology divided the world's history into six ages. The First Age is noted in Carey's Bible, but there are no titles for the other ages. However, “from” clearly denotes the start of each age.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood came, according to the 7th chapter of Genesis.

It took 422 years and ten days from Noah's flood to Abraham's departure from Chaldea.

There are 430 years between Abraham's departure from Ur in Chaldea and the departure of the children of Israel, as follows:

Then subtract 80 years, because Moses was so elderly when he led the Israelites out of Egypt.

As a result, the remaining 130 years are split between Amram and Kohath.

Amram, who was 65 years old at the time, had Moses, who left Egypt with the Israelites in his eighth year.

The 430 years referenced in the 12th chapter of Exodus and the 3rd chapter of Galatians form the basis of this chronology.

After this chronology and story, it is 480 years from the departure of the Israelites from Egypt to the initial construction of the temple.

There are 419 and a half years between the first construction of the temple and Babylon's enslavement.

After 70 years of Babylonian captivity, Jerusalem was re-edified and rebuilt.

Captivity lasted for 70 years. The children of Israel were delivered during Cyrus' first year. The construction of the temple began in the second year of Cyrus and was completed in the 46th year, which was Darius' sixth year. After Darius had reigned for 20 years, Nehemiah was returned to liberty and set out to rebuild the city, which was completed in Darius' 32nd year. The total number of years since the temple was built is 26.

After this timeline, there are 483 years from the re-edification of the city until the coming of Christ.

In Daniel's 9th chapter, it says that Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and that there will be 69 weeks from then until Christ's return, with each week lasting seven years. So 69 weeks equal 483 years; for, from the year of Darius to the 42nd year of Augustus, in which our Saviour Christ was born, are just and complete so many years, whereupon we reckon, that from Adam to Christ, there are 3974 years, six months, and ten days; and from Christ's birth to this year, there are 1801.

Then, from the beginning of the world to the present year of our Lord God 1801, the total number of years is 5775 years, six months, and the odd ten days.
