the number of man

concepts

-coffins buried six feet underground
-man works six days
-Goliath: this giant was 6 cubits in height

'' Man was created on the 6th day, and God ordained that man should work 6 days out of 7.
Seven is the perfect number of God, and we read in Romans 3:23:
"all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God."
Therefore apart from God and in the flesh, man is bound with the number 6
- one short of the standard which God demands.
Regardless of how many 6's man adds to his number, even to 666, six can never become 7, yet man in his own pride keeps trying. ''
