Book Description
George M. Peacock, who taught seminary and institute classes for nearly forty years, answers these and many other questions related to how and why numbers are used as symbols in the scriptures. He shows that numbers have messages that lend much to the accounts within which they are used.
"If all things are created and made to bear record of God, surely the possibility exists that numbers bear record of Him," writes the author. Unlocking the Numbers helps us appreciate the greater significance of numbers as it enlightens our minds and increases our understanding of what the Lord is really saying through his written word.
