A. The study of the use of numbers in Scripture is a fascinating one that can add a great deal to your understanding. I first became interested in this nearly 20 years ago after reading E.W. Bullinger’s book, “Number in Scripture.” While there are other good resources as well, I have come to rely heavily on Bullinger’s research.
