Sixth step is about Sin and Repentence and all 42 chapter sixes reveal this theme
God placed the Redemption Pattern in scripture is for everyone to take advantage of. The common reaction I get from people who first get the concept is that it is interesting but they already believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and don't have a personal interest in Biblical numbers. But even a simple understanding of numbers helps anyone understand scripture better.
For instance, if we
understand the number 6 is related to sin and the need for redemption it
will remind us to look for this theme in each chapter 6 of the Bible. Sounds
impossible but check out some of these 42 topics for the Bible's chapter
sixes which provide powerful evidence for the theme of number six. Every
one of these chapters content follows a theme of sin and redemption from
sin. Until you understand the pattern and and how it reveals themes throughout
scripture, this very obvious relationship goes unnoticed. When you do realize
chapters related to six are about sin then you see the many ways God teaches
us about the 6th step of his plan of redemption. The same patterns goes
for the other numbers; chapter sevens are about being disciplined and taught
by the Good Shepherd; and chapter eights are about the new convenant, the
remnant, becoming Godly and receiving of the Holy Spirit.
