Meaning of Numbers: The Number 225

The possible meaning of the number 225 is derived from the occurrence of original language words and words found in the King James translation.

The Hebrew word baqash, Strong's Concordance #H1245, occurs 225 times in 215 original language verses of the Old Testament. The book of Psalms records it the most (27 times) followed by 1Samuel (26) and Jeremiah (23). The word means to search out, to strive after, to seek or ask a request. Its final (225) Old Testament use is in Malachi's prophecy regarding the appearance of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek (baqash), shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts (Malachi 3:1, see also Mark 1:2, Matthew 11:10, Luke 7:27).

Appearances of Number Two Hundred Twenty Five

The English word "strength" appears 225 times, in 215 verses, in the King James Old Testament. It is written the most in the Psalms (74 times) followed by the book of Isaiah (35) then Job (24). Its first scriptural use is recorded in God's punishment of Cain for murdering his brother Abel in cold blood.

And now art thou (Cain) cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth (Genesis 4:11 - 12, KJV).

The Hebrew word adamah, Strong's Concordance #H127, occurs 225 times in the original language version of the Old Testament. The book of Genesis uses it the most (43 times) followed by Deuteronomy (37). The word refers to the ground, soil, a plot of land, a country or even the entire planet. It is frequently translated as "earth," "ground" or "land" in the King James. Its first of 225 uses occurs when God is describing what he created on the sixth day of creation week.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth (adamah) after his kind: and God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:25, KJV).

The English word "righteous" appears 238 times, in 225 verses, in the King James Bible. The word appears the most in the book of Psalms (60 times) followed by Proverbs (54) then Ezekiel (15). Its first use in Scripture reveals why God chose Noah to build an ark to save both human and animal life on earth.

And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation (Genesis 7:1, KJV).

The English word "nothing" appears 225 times, in 221 verses, in the King James translation. The Gospel of John records it the most (19 times) followed by both the books of Mark and Acts (15 times each). The word is used to reveal in Scripture's oldest book, penned around 1660 B.C., that the earth is suspended in the universe by nothing that can be seen. It took science 3,000+ years in order to "discover" and define this inspired fact and label it as gravity!

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7, KJV).

War and the Number 225

The English word "war" appears 225 times, in 220 verses, in the King James Bible. It is written the most in the book of Numbers (31 times) followed by 1Chronicles (24). The first war mentioned in Scripture was led by Elam's King Chedorlaomer around 1880 B.C.

Chedorlaomer headed up a military coalition of three other rulers on a campaign to punish five kings, whose kingdoms were south of the Dead Sea, who had rebelled against him. As his coalition travelled south, along the King's Highway, they first waged war on several other peoples (Genesis 14:5 - 7).

And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar (Genesis 14:1 - 2, KJV).
