Meaning of Numbers: The Number 152

The possible meaning of the number 152 is derived from the occurrence of certain Hebrew and Greek words.

The Bible reports the ages when the first nine out of ten men in Jesus' lineage (except for Adam) produced their firstborn son (Genesis 5). The average age when these nine men had their first son was roughly 158. If we assume Adam was 100 when Cain was born (he was 130 when he produced Seth after Cain slew Abel, Genesis 5:3), then the average age goes down to around 152.

The Hebrew word kasah, Strong's #H3680, occurs 152 times in the Old Testament's original language. It can mean to conceal, cover or hide something or someone. Its first use is in Genesis 7 when it describes the extent the floodwaters covered the earth during the time of Noah.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered (kasah, Genesis 7:19, KJV).

Appearances of Number One Hundred Fifty Two

The Greek amen, Strong's #G281, is recorded 152 times in the New Testament's original language. John's gospel uses it the most (51 times) followed by Matthew's writing (32 times). It was commonly used as an affirmation that what was said was true and trustworthy. In the King James it is translated as "verily" or "amen."

For verily (amen) I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled (Matthew 5:18, KJV).

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen (amen, Matthew 6:13, KJV).

Entry 152 in Strong Concordance's Greek Definitions is aischune. It is found only once in Luke's gospel and in the books of 2Corinthians, Philippians, Hebrews, Jude and Revelation. The word means shame, disgrace or dishonesty.

I (Jesus) counsel thee (the church at Laodicea) to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame (aischune) of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see (Revelation 3:18, KJV).

The English word "sun" is written 160 times in 152 King James Bible verses. It is penned the most in Ecclesiastes (35 times) followed by the Psalms (14) and then Isaiah (12). Only 30 of the 152 verses that contain the word "sun" reside in the New Testament.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit (Ecclesiastes 1:14, KJV).

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45, KJV).

Number 152 and Child Sacrifices

Entry 152 in Strong Concordance's Hebrew Definitions is adrammelek. It occurs only three times in Scripture and means "the splendor of the king." The King James translates it as Adrammelech, the name of one of Assyrian King Sennacherib's two sons who murdered him after he suffered the worst military defeat in human history (see 2Kings 18 - 19, Isaiah 37:33 - 38).

Adrammelech is also the name of an Assyrian false god, one of many worshipped by the pagan people who replaced the Israelites in Samaria after they were conquered by the Assyrians. One of the incredibly evil religious rites required to worship this deity was the sacrificing of children by fire!

And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech (adrammelek) and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim (2Kings 17:31, KJV).

The only chapter in Scripture that numbers more than 150 verses is Psalm 119. Verse 152 of the Psalm praises the Lord that his testimonies (laws) have always existed and will continue to exist in eternity.

Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever (verse 152 of Psalm 119, HBFV).

152 is the sum of four consecutive primes 31 + 37 + 41 + 43.

152 is the product of 2 x 2 x 2 (or 2 cubed) x 19. Both 2 and 19 are prime numbers.

The English word "body" is listed 175 times in 152 King James translation verses. It appears the most in 1Corinthians (44 times) followed by Matthew (15) and Luke (13).

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord (Numbers 9:10, KJV).

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body (1Corinthians 6:18, KJV).
