The Number 14 In The Bible

 

14l

We know from Matthew 1 there are 14 generations in Yahshua's (popularly called Jesus) genealogy. The significance of the number fourteen in the Bible is very understated if you are just looking in a concordance, as there are not a lot of instances of it mentioned. Many of them are associated with one very important day but fourteen and its symbolism goes very deep and starts with how it is written in Hebrew. Each of the twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet represents a number.  
 
The first nine letters are the ones for single digit numbers and the others take on higher numerical values.  An acrostic psalm is one that each verse/section starts with a letter of the alphabet so they either have twenty-two verses like Psalm 25 and 34 or twenty-two sections. Psalm 119, which is acrostic, is divided into twenty-two sections of eight verses.

The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is Nun, like Yahshua, and is pronounced “noon”; in the counting system it represents the number fifty. The meanings and types and shadows that are associated with Nun really are a great study in itself so I will encourage you to look deeper but here are my gleanings from the literature. Nun equals the word David so it is immediately associated with the Messiah

With the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America for the second time, and the election of an American born Pope (Leo XIV), America is thrust into history as never before. God made an unconditional promise to Abraham and his descendants. Who are the People of the Promise?
 

Will Trump and Pope Leo fulfill the Scriptures about the end times? Since we cannot predict the future with any semblance of accuracy, we can only watch and wait, but be prepared. Pope Francis paved the way for the Mark of the Beast in 2022.


Revelation 14:14-16

Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

In the context of Revelation 14, "the earth was reaped" symbolizes the final judgment of humanity. The image of a harvest, specifically the reaping of the earth, represents the gathering of people to be judged, with the righteous being gathered and the wicked being destroyed. It's a time of reckoning, where the "harvest of the earth is ripe" for judgment.

Are you prepared to live in the New Jerusalem?
