The Biblical Meaning of the Number 25

The number twenty five (25) being the square of five (52 or 5x5), expresses the essence of the signification of five, i.e. grace, whether used alone or occurring as a factor in larger numbers. The same may be said of the number twenty seven.

Additional commentary on the Biblical Meaning of 25 *

The number 25 pictures 'grace upon grace.' Redemption (number 20) plus grace (number 5) equals 25 or 'grace upon grace' (also 5 x 5 = 25):

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of GRACE and truth . . .

"And of His fullness we have all received, and GRACE FOR GRACE. For the law was given through Moses, but GRACE and truth came through Jesus Christ." (John 1:14, 16-17, NKJV)

Levites were to begin serving at age 25 in assisting with sacrifices — which were a physical type of forgiveness and redemption for the people.

The Biblical Meaning of the Number 27

The number twenty seven being the cube of three.

The Biblical Meaning of the Number 28

The number twenty eight is a multiple, and therefore has the significance of seven. Being also the product of 4 x 7 it partakes of the significance of 4. See also the number 7.

The Biblical Meaning of the Number 29

The number twenty nine is the combination of 20, the number of expectation, and 9, the number of judgment.
