In the Bible, the number 10 is used 242 times. It is viewed as a complete and perfect number, as is 3, 7 and 12. It is made up of 4, the number of the physical creation, and 6, the number of man. As such, 10 signifies testimony, law, responsibility and the completeness of order.
In Genesis 1 we find the phrase “God said” ten times, which is a testimony of His creative power. God gave the Ten Commandments to man. Ten therefore represents man’s responsibility to keep the commandments. A tithe is a tenth of our earnings and is a testimony of our faith in the Lord.
The Passover lamb was selected on day ten of the first month (Exodus 12:3), as was Jesus, the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world (John 12:28- 29; 1Corinthians 5:7). Day ten of the seventh month is also the Holy Day known as the Day of Atonement. This unique day of fasting pictures the removal of Satan, the author of sin, before the Millennial reign of Jesus begins (Revelation 20:1-2).
The last great world-ruling kingdom of man under Satan is symbolized prophetically by the ten toes of Daniel 2 and the ten horns of Revelation 13 and 17.
Today we will send three more Proclaimer audio devices, making a total of ten sent into the states of Ondo, Osun and Oyo in South-Western Nigeria (purple area). These will contain the ethnic dialects of Pidgin, Tiv, Ebira and Hausa. These units, that require no outside electricity, will provide a great tool to the oral learners in the rural villages, as the people will be able to hear the Bible and the Gospel in their own languages. To God be the glory!
Thank you all for your prayers in helping us assist the faithful Christian workers who are there. Maranatha!
