I always thought the number nine was a number that meant judgment but I suppose if you think about it the number nine is a relative of the number three and three is said to be a holy number and also one of perfection. if you multiply three times three you get nine so it could implicate a very profound holiness and perfection but if you multiply three times two you six being a number of man and of sin being a sort of unholy number and ironically if you flip the number nine you get six almost like their polar opposites

So what's your point? You have not come to a conclusion, only a mad set of numbers.

9 is the number for fruit bearing but what James is trying to show is the absolute perfection and precision of the word structure in the KJV.

9 squared times 99 divided by the square root of 9 minus 999 divided by 9 plus 99 divided by 9 squared is equal to 3.52 (rounded)

So then if you go to the third book of the Bible and the 52'nd verse in that book which says, "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying"

The first battle mentioned in God's word is between a confederation of 4 kings against another which has 5 kings for a total of nine (Genesis 14:1 - 2).

The ratio of the population lost by the tribe of Ephraim during the 40 years wandering is 8000 divided by the original census 1 40,500 = 0.197530864. all digits repeat. Abraham received God's promise at age 75. He died at 175. Since the numbers repeat and can be read in reverse order, Isaac was born when Ishmael was 14. Ishmael was sent away at Isaac's weaning celebration. Hagar thought Ishmael would die but God provided a well of water. Ishmael was 17 if Isaac was nursed for 3 years (2 Maccabees 2:27, the Hebrew mother nursed her son for 3 years).

Joseph lived for 71 years after the reunion with Jacob. Jacob lived 17 years after the reunion.

9 in this case means an end or a new beginning.

[FONT=&quot]So glad you brought this up! Number 9 was John Lennon's favourite.

[video=youtube;HWmvbxGpra4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=SRthe+beatles+revolution+9&time_continu e=18&v=HWmvbxGpra4[/video]


And this, from the BeatlesBible

https://www.beatlesbible.com/features/john-lennon-number-nine/


Lennon was born on Wednesday 9 October 1940 (some reports say at 6.30am) in Liverpool.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The first home he lived in was at 9 Newcastle Road, Wavertree, Liverpool - three names which each contain nine letters. Newcastle Road was his grandfather's house, and while living there Lennon later wrote One After 909.

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Numerous events throughout Lennon's life were connected with the number nine, or numbers which add up to nine.[/FONT]

  • Lennon travelled on the number 72 bus to Liverpool Art College, where he was friends with Stuart Sutcliffe.
  • His first meeting in 1957 with Paul McCartney proved a pivotal role in Lennon's life. McCartney's surname has nine letters, as does Sutcliffe's.
  • The group became The Beatles in 1960, and Lennon left in 1969, nine years later.
  • The Beatles' first appearance at the Cavern Club was on 9 February 1961.
  • Brian Epstein, The Beatles' manager, first saw them perform on 9 November 1961.
  • The group's contract with EMI was confirmed on 9 May 1962.
  • The Beatles' debut single, Love Me Do, was on Parlophone R4949.
  • Their record-breaking debut appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show was on 9 February 1964.
[FONT=&quot]After The Beatles split up, Lennon embarked on a solo career. He also made a number of recordings with his second wife Yoko Ono. Lennon claimed he first met her on 9 November 1966, though the more likely date is 7 November.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Various further connections with the number nine can be traced to this second stage in Lennon's life.[/FONT]

  • In April 1969 he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. There are nine 'o's in the combined names of John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon.
  • Lennon and Ono lived for a time in an apartment on West 72nd Street, New York City.
  • Their first apartment in the Dakota Building was number 72.
  • Their son, Sean Lennon, was born on 9 October 1975, John's 35th birthday.
  • #9 Dream was a song on Lennon's 1974 album Walls And Bridges. The album was his ninth non-Beatles album, and was issued in the ninth month of the year.
  • The album's cover featured a painting done when Lennon was 11 years old. It depicts a footballer with a number nine on his back.
  • When released as a single, #9 Dream peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. The refrain in the chorus - 'Ah! Böwakawa poussé, poussé' - featured nine syllables.
  • Mind Games and Rock 'N' Roll, the albums released before and after Walls And Bridges, each contained nine letters in their titles.
  • After he was shot, Lennon was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital on 9th Avenue, Manhattan. Roosevelt and Manhattan both have nine letters.
[FONT=&quot]As a footnote, Lennon was shot in New York City on 8 December 1980. However, it has been pointed out that, due to time differences, it was 9 December in his birthplace of Liverpool.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Individually, these occurrences may amount to little more than coincidence. However, in his later years Lennon became fascinated with numerology, and was well aware of the role of the number nine throughout his life.



See, anyone can do this kind of number nonsense on anything, including those who were the Beatles![/FONT]
