Meaning of Numbers: The Number 369

The possible meaning of the number 369 is derived primarily from the occurrences of certain words in the King James text and the original languages of Scripture.

Entry 369 in the Greek definitions portion of Strong's Concordance is the word anantirrhetos. The word is found only one time in the New Testament and means "without gainsaying." The Apostle Peter used the word to inform Cornelius, a Gentile who summoned him, that although Jewish tradition forbad meeting him, he gladly did so under the inspiration of God's spirit.

Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying (anantirrhetos), as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? (Acts 10:29, KJV).

Cornelius, along with his family and close friends (Acts 10:24, 27), received God's Holy Spirit as Peter preached to them the gospel (verses 34 - 44)!

Appearances of Number Three Hundred Sixty Nine

God commanded ancient Israel to observe what is known as a Sabbatical year (Leviticus 25:1 - 7, 19 - 23). The beginning of this special period was (likely) proclaimed on the Day of Trumpets (Tishri 1) at the start of every seventh year. A Biblical Sabbatical year, the seventh in a series of seven, ran from Saturday August 30 in 368 A.D. to Saturday September 19 in 369 A.D.

One of God's Jubilee years, which occurs every 50th year and runs from one Day of Atonement to the next, began on September 28 in 369 A.D. It was the eighth Jubilee to take place since the birth of Jesus (the first one was from 26 to 27 A.D.). The Jubilee lasted until September 16 in 370 A.D.

The English word "flesh" appears 420 times, in 369 verses, in the King James Bible. It is recorded the most in the book of Leviticus (59 times) followed by Genesis (28) then the book of Romans (26). The word appears in the New Testament 149 out of its 369 appearances. Its first use famously reveals how God created a woman after he made the first man.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof . . . And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man (Genesis 2:21, 23, KJV).

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 16:17, KJV).

The English word "drink" is written 369 times in 327 King James Bible verses. It is found the most in the book of Numbers (48 times) then Jeremiah (32). The word is found in the New Testament 69 out of its 369 appearances. Its first, and one of its most infamous uses, was when Lot's two daughters got him drunk so that he could impregnant them.

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father . . . and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose (Genesis 19:32 - 33).

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:25, KJV).

Hebrew Calendar and Number 369

The English word "year" occurs 369 times in 324 King James verses. It is written the most in the book of Numbers (52 times) followed by 2Kings (44). The word is found in the New Testament 18 out of its 369 appearances.

Exodus uses the word "year" to denote that the Hebrew month of Nisan (Abib) was to be the first month of what would become Israel's sacred year. This month always falls during the spring. This contrasts to the first day of Israel's civil year which was Tishri 1 (Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah) which always occurs in the fall.

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you (Exodus 12:2, KJV).
