The Prophetic Numbers in the Biblebr "Numbers in the Bible aren’t random—they hold deep meanings. The number 7 represents perfection—God created the world in 7 days. 40 symbolizes testing—like Jesus fasting for 40 days or the Israelites wandering for 40 years. Then there’s 666, the ‘number of the beast.’ Some believe it represents a future world leader, while others say it’s already at work in technology and global systems.
