Some numbers stand out among others in the scripture. Careful examination reveals these numerical patterns could not be coincidental. They are God's fingerprints that are evident throughout the scriptures. These are some numerical patterns that I find fascinating. 40 - Moses' life was divided into 3x40. 40 years as the prince of Egypt, 40 as Shepard and 40 as God's deliverer to the Israelites. The Israelites then spent 40 years in the wilderness. The kings that ruled over all Israel were Saul, David, and Solomon. Each of them ruled for 40 years. Jesus spent 40 days in the desert tempted by Satan. 40 can be seen as God's testing period. 7 in 4:2:1 pattern In Genesis God created the matters in 4 days, 2 days filling it and 1 day rested. 4:2:1 In Matthew 13, 4 parables were spoken to the multitudes, 2 to the disciples concerning treasures and 1 on net. 4:2:1 In Revelations, chapter 6-16 reveals the judgement of God in seals, trumpets and bowls. Each details were broken into 4:2:1 all ending with earthquakes. All these fingerprints of God brings awe and wonder to its readers each time they discover them.

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:15-17 KJV)
