The Spiritual Significance of Numbers – The Number Six- Part 2, Incomplete Mankind

[Study Aired January 18, 2026]

We paused our study with the statement that the number six is connected to the body of Christ.

The multiple of any number in God’s word will show us something about the original number but on a magnified scale. For instance, 12 represents our foundation, Christ, however (12 X 12) X (10 X 10 X 10) = 144,000, showing us that the 144,000 which represents the elect in the book of Revelation have their foundation in Christ as a witness (2), that is to say two twelves multiplied by each other and then multiplied by (3) tens that represent process and the perfection of the flesh adds up to 144,000.

The number for witness is 2, and there are 2 Adams which complete this witness that God is showing us in the flesh of man.

The first Adam in sinful flesh witnesses to us that mankind is incapable of obeying God without the Holy Spirit and that we are marred in the hand of the potter as the book of Jeremiah declares. Whatever obedience we have is based on the law for the lawless and not the spirit of Christ at first.

1Ti 1:9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

The second Adam in sinful flesh is Jesus Christ, and He witnesses to us the very same thing; that flesh is incapable of obeying God without the Holy Spirit. We are marred in the hand of the potter as the book of Jeremiah declares.

Jer 18:4  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make [it].

Christ did not come to earth to boast about His sinful flesh. Rather, He made Himself of no reputation and became obedient unto death, and He knew there is none good but one, and that is God, the Father. Christ is coming to reveal the Father and show us what is possible in our own flesh once we have been given the power to overcome as He did.

Php 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Mat 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

If we are losing our life, the life of the first Adam, and finding the life of the second Adam by way of having the comforter in us, then this free gift will be the work of grace and faith spoken of in Ephesians 2:8. This enables us to endure until the end and become as Christ is both now in earnest and when we go onto perfection as Christ himself did on the third day, which is the number that represents the resurrection and judgment and destruction of the flesh.

Luk 13:32  And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

The resurrected and glorified creation God is forming is founded upon these two Adams. Christ is the first and the second Adam, the Alpha and the Omega, and everything in between. It is through Him that all this process is being accomplished, and without a resurrected life of Christ as our high priest we would be yet in our sins and unable to be found in Him at the resurrection.

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Rom 5:10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Christ is the power of the resurrection just as He is the power with which the physical creation was formed in an instant (the first Adam). In like manner the resurrected body of Christ will happen in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye (the then perfected second Adam).

Joh 11:25  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Rom 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

1Co 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [From the first Adam to the second or last Adam].

Simply stated, 2 X 6 = 12 the witness of two Adams is needed to bring about the new man who is formed in righteousness, the righteousness of Christ.  That is how the number six is connected to the body of Christ. Christ is “the first and the last”:

Gal 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Rev 22:13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Both Adams must go through this process of witness. Mankind must first witness against themselves by our destructive and carnal nature which can only be changed by the true witness, the second Adam, Jesus Christ, dwelling within us.

We live every word of God, and so we must start off as that first beast which does not know Christ, and then in God’s perfect timing, we take on the new man, the second Adam, and go through a process which is founded on the foundation of Jesus Christ (12), and is only completed when we are judged and resurrected, or resurrected and judged depending on which resurrection God has preordained for anyone.

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Joh 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life [the first resurrection, (Rev 20:5-6)]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation [G2920: ‘krisis’, judgment, the great white throne judgment, (Rev 20:11-15)].

Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Rev 11:2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.

An interesting side note is that 42 divided by 6 = 7, showing us that the complete process for the flesh is found with 42 months of witnessing for Christ, and being witnessed against as well. Our 42 months are lived in the court, which is not measured, and then, if we are called and chosen and faithful and given the power to endure to the end, we witness to His power for 42 months, or three and a half years of which the two witnesses of Revelation 11 are a type.

Rev 11:2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Verse 1 of Revelation 11 talks about the measuring of the temple of God by a reed like unto a rod.

Rev 11:1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Isa 42:3  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgement unto truth.

Christ is the one whom God uses to bring forth judgment unto truth, and Christ is represented by the number twelve which is the foundational measure by which all mankind must eventually be measured. The reed spoken of in Isaiah 42:3 is in fact Jesus Christ who is working within the elect of God and fashioning them as a master potter so that they can become a new creation which reflects the mind of Christ. As such they will be able to judge the nations without because they themselves have been given to judge the nations within themselves first, or going back to the first paragraph of this article, we are the first fruits after Christ, to be given dominion over all the beasts of the land within and without.

1Co 6:3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

1Co 11:31  For if we would judge ourselves [now, in this age], we should not be judged [at the great white throne judgment, (Rev 20:11-15)].
1Co 11:32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Jas 1:18  Of his own will [Not our will but His] begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Oba 1:21  And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Rev 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.

For further clarification on the number (12) please see the article on this subject at:

The Number Twelve, along with this article which talks about the measuring of the temple as well at Rev 21:13-17

Christ’s Flesh was Judged as Well as His Body Which We Are

Christ was 33 when he died, and there was a process of judgment upon Christ’s flesh as the number 33 signifies. He did learn obedience by the things which He suffered and had to overcome His sinful flesh being tempted in all diverse manner as we are yet without sin.

Heb 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

The number 33 could be looked at as two 3’s adding up to 6, the mark of man, and because there are two 3’s, we are shown that a witness is at hand as well as a process. The true and faithful witness, Jesus Christ, is going through a process of judgment on our behalf so we have a Savior who is not unfamiliar with our experience in this corruptible flesh.

Rev 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Contrary to the false and damnable doctrine of a substitutionary atonement, it is now given to us to suffer with Christ on His behalf to fill up what is lacking of His afflictions:

Php 1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Col 1:24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

Instead of being ‘substitutionary’ Christ’s sufferings are rather exemplary and a pattern for us to follow.

1Pe 2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: [“Fill up what is behind of His afflictions for His body’s sake, which is the church”, (Col 1:24)]

We don’t want to know Christ after the flesh, but rather as our faithful High Priest who, as the author and finisher of our faith, is now able to purify and comfort us with the same comfort which He received when He was a man.

2Co 5:16  Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Heb 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2Co 1:4  who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Heb 2:3  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

Heb 9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The purification process

This purification process, which leads to salvation or the finishing of our faith, is demonstrated in the type and shadow of the man child and the maid child in the book of Leviticus chapter 12:1-8.

Lev 12:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 12:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
Lev 12:3  And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Lev 12:4  And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

Having given birth to a man child, the woman must go through the blood of her purifying for 33 days. The man child is represented as Christ and those who have Christ in them (i.e. the first fruits unto God).

Rev 12:5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

1Jn 4:17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Rev 2:26  And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

The purifying of blood is tied to the word of God

John tells us that the word of God is likened to Christ’s flesh and blood, and if Christ is in us, those words are purified within our earthen vessel seven times as we are saved by grace and faith, which are free gifts from God.

Joh 6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Joh 6:58  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Psa 12:6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The number 33 shows us that with Christ within us, there is a witness of judgment upon our flesh if we are the man child with Christ in us (2 threes).

Therefore Christ as the man child (the second Adam) finishes His earthly ministry at 33, and the first Adam who is a type of Christ must also as a potential man child be subject to the same vanity of flesh which we all must go through as part of this process of purifying us to become eternal sons and daughters of God.

Ecc 9:2  All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

Rom 8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

The purifying that occurs with the first Adam is symbolic of the greater baptisms of fire which occur with Christ cleansing the temple within us, which temple we are. That which is natural is first and afterwards that which is spiritual. We have a natural judgment that comes upon our flesh by way of the law which is for the lawless, but until the judgment of Christ comes upon us in the spirit, we are only half way there so to speak. Both the man child and maid child are cleansed, there is one event to both of them (Ecc 9:2), but the man child (the elect and Christ) represents those who are judged now, and the maid child (the Church in the wilderness) will be judged, but their judgment takes twice as long, and the order of the judgment is different.

This does not mean that the man child does not have to experience living under the law, but rather it is by God’s plan and purpose that a few will experience judgment in this age by being dragged out of the maid child (Babylon) to become the man child that will one day be used to judge the world as the first-fruit kings and priests who are by God’s grace and faith reconciled so they may be saviors to the maid child (Babylon and the rest of humanity). Those who show mercy in judging the rest of mankind in the second resurrection are being saved now by this purification process of having God’s word cleanse them of all of the lies of Babylon.

Please see this article which clearly explains these points.

https://www.iswasandwillbe.com/what-is-meaning-of-the-law-birth-purification/

The ‘maidchild’ signifies all who are not ‘the manchild’. The doubling of the time to be purified when a maid child is born signifies the doubling of the time needed to purify all those who are not the man child and who are not in “the resurrection of life.”

Joh 5:27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life [“the first resurrection”, (Rev 20:6)]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation [G2920:’krisis’, judgment, the great white throne judgment].

Rev 15:8  And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

1Co 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

1Co 15:46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

1Ti 1:9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

1Co 15:23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

1Co 6:2  Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

2Co 6:17  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Joh 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Rev 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Rev 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Eph 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Oba 1:21  And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Rom 11:30  For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Rom 11:31  Even so have these also now not believed [signified by the maidchild], that through your mercy [the mercy of the manchild] they also may obtain mercy.

If we add 33+33 we get 66 and can see that there is a witness therefore to the flesh telling us that Christ has to finish this process of redeeming the first Adam by taking on the Adamic flesh with the holy spirit within Himself and without measure as a man, and then saving mankind in God’s order by the hope of glory within us, which hope is Christ in us.

Christ is not just reconciling us unto God by His death, but also, being raised as our High Priest, He purifies us so we can become the second Adam as well.

1Jn 4:17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Joh 3:34  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him [unto Christ].

1Co 15:17  And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Co 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Co 15:19  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Rom 5:10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Col 1:27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Col 1:24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

Now if we consider the second part of this verse, we can see more clearly why the purification was 66 days for the maid child and only 33 days for the man child.

We will pause again at this point and find out what the one week plus 33 days for the purification of a manchild versus the two weeks plus 66 days for the purification of a maidchild signifies in our next and last study on the spiritual significance of the number six.
