Number 1 means Singleness and Unity
Numbers have meaning in Bible scripture. With God nothing is of chance, it is always on purpose. Sometimes we understand the purpose and sometimes we don’t. Of course, any serious Bible Student knows that there is a Book of the Bible called “Numbers”, but we have so much more to learn and understand.
The number “1” represents absolute singleness and unity.
It is a very significant number in the bible and is referenced in several places:
- Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. – Genesis 2:24
- One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.– Numbers 15:16
- I (Christ) and my Father are one. – John 10:30
- That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: - John Chapter 17:21-22
- There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. – Galatians 3:28
- Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: - Deuteronomy 6:4
- One Lord, one faith, one baptism, - Ephesians 4:5
- Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. – Matthew 19: 6
- For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, - Hebrews 2:11
As you can see, the number “1” is a well understood symbolic number in the Bible.
