Seventeen is the seventh prime number, thus showing something t o do with perfection o r completeness. The number seventeen is only found t e n times i n s c r i p tu r There a r e , however, numerous examples of 17 found i n the Bible. Seventeen is a number which shows VICTORY I N CHRIST JESUS.

We know from LEVITICUS 23: 5 (and other scr iptures) t ha t " the fourteenth day of the f i r s t month a t even is the LORD'S ssover," We a l so know tha t the Jews count time as God did, t h a t being from evening un t i l the next evening, (sunset t o sunset) as being a day, (GENESIS 1:'j). With these thoughts i n mind, we know t h a t the last passover attended by Jesus is recorded i n LUKE 22:13-20, which reckoning time i n the Jewish fashion was on the 14th of the month. Futher we know fron studing several sc r ip tu res tha fore the next evenrag Jesus a s cruci and k i d "yieiciea up the ghost" (MAT 27 :50 ) , , "about the ninth hour" (MAT 27 : 46) , t h i s still on the 14th of the month reckoned on the Jewish calander . J e s t same day, JOHN 19:38-42 t e l l s us. '3Ie rose again the t h i the scriptures" , I CORINTIIUNS 15:4. I n doing a l i t t l e math we can see t ha t Jesus arose from the d on the 17th (according t o the Jewish calander) , (JOHN 20:1-9). I n other wo , on the seventeenth Jesus became VICTORIOUS over the e and death. Again, seventeen is a number which shows

Old Testament we h v e the story of the children of I s r a e l get t ing a complete VICTORY over the Egyptians, who were destroyed i n the midst of the Red Sea. EXODUS 14:13-31 c l ea r ly points out tha t it was the LORD who gav the VICTORY t o the children of I s r a e l over the Egyptians, EXODUS 14:13-31.

So as you can see, one of the meanings o f the number 32 is connected t o a COVENANT.

The number 34 has t o do with FA E3RS AND SONS.

3.5 Applying our knowledge of numbers learned so f a r , we conclude tha t one of the
