Fighting to keep our eyes open to check out the meteor shower tonite after midnight.

Kinda feel like Sesame Street, "Today's Blog Post is Brought to You By, the Number 3."





We're all are aware of the mystery of people dying in three's, even recently there have a number of 3's in the obit's. Sometimes it's even kinda scary, the first one goes, then the second and we begin to wonder as to who'll be next, I'm sure there's even betting on this in Vegas.

Take a moment and think of all things the are associated with 3...



Father, Son, Holy Spirit...
I have 3 daughters...
Jesus' Main Peeps, Peter, James and John...
Jonah, 3 Days in the belly of a fish...
Lazarus, 3 days dead in the tomb...
Jesus, 3 days in the tomb...

OK, you get the picture, there's something about the number 3...

In this number we have quite a new set of phenomena. We come to the first geometrical figure. Two straight lines cannot possibly enclose any space, or form a plane figure; neither can two plan surfaces form a solid. Three lines are necessary to form a plan figure; and three dimensions of length, breadth, and height, are necessary to form a solid. Hence three is the symbol of the cube--the simplest form of solid figure. As two is the symbol of the square, or plane contents (x2), so three is the symbol of the cube, or solid contents (x3).

Three, therefore, stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire.
All things that are specially complete are stamped with this number three.

God's attributes are three: omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence.

There are three great divisions completing time--past, present, and future.

Three persons, in grammar, express and include all the relationships of mankind.

Thought, word, and deed, complete the sum of human capability.

Three degrees of comparison complete our knowledge of qualities.

The simplest proposition requires three things to complete it; viz., the subject, the predicate, and the copula.

Three propositions are necessary to complete the simplest form of argument--the major premise, the minor, and the conclusion.

Three kingdoms embrace our ideas of matter--mineral, vegetable, and animal.

When we turn to the Scriptures, this completion becomes Divine, and marks Divine completeness or perfection.

Three is the first of four perfect numbers .

Three denotes divine perfection;

Seven denotes spiritual perfection;

Ten denotes ordinal perfection; and

Twelve denotes governmental perfection.

Hence the number three points us to what is real, essential, perfect, substantial, complete, and Divine. There is nothing real in man or of man. Everything "under the sun" and apart from God is "vanity." "Every man at his best estate is altogether vanity" (Psalm 139:5,11, 62:9, 144:4; Eccl 1:2,4, 2:11,17,26, 3:19, 4:4, 11:8, 12:8; Romans 8:20).
Three is the number associated with the Godhead, for there are "three persons in one God." Three times the Seraphim cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy"--one for each of the three persons in the Trinity (Isaiah 6:3). The living creatures also in Revelation 4:8.

"...you may be sure that your sin will find you out."

Just when you least expect it...

Just when you think you got away with it...

God is watching...

Well, no sooner than I decide to commite some time to blogging, I'm saddled with the project of setting up and creating a new web site for church. Which I enjoy doing, but, time, time, time...

We dumped our old web host because of cost, and its going to be extreamly hard to build a site of the quality and pazazz that accompanied our last one.

So I reckon I'll be doing a little posting on the issues of building a web site, stay tuned!
