Psalm 25:4-5
King James Version
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord;
teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.
What is the significance of the number "24"?
It all started with JESUS.
SPIRIT led me to the LORD's prophecy:
Matthew 24:24
King James Version
24 For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
I couldn't help but notice the two "24".
And I just realized today is 24 May 2024.
What would the books of the Bible reveal about the 24th chapter and its 24th verse, on this 24th day of the year '24?
I felt like looking into it, curious child that I am.
Here are relevant verses for these times:
Numbers 24:24
King James Version
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim,
and shall afflict Asshur,
and shall afflict Eber,
and he also shall perish for ever.
Joshua 24:24
King James Version
24 And the people said unto Joshua,
The Lord our God will we serve,
and his voice will we obey.
2 Samuel 24:24
King James Version
24 And the king said unto Araunah,
Nay;
but I will surely buy it of thee at a price:
neither will I offer burnt offerings
unto the Lord my God
of that which doth cost me nothing.
So David bought the threshingfloor
and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
2 Chronicles 24:24
King James Version
24 For the army of the Syrians came
with a small company of men,
and the Lord delivered a very great host
into their hand,
because they had forsaken
the Lord God of their fathers.
So they executed judgment against Joash.
Proverbs 24:24
King James Version
24 He that saith unto the wicked,
Thou are righteous;
him shall the people curse,
nations shall abhor him:
Ezekiel 24:24
King James Version
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign:
according to all that he hath done shall ye do:
and when this cometh,
ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
Luke 24:24
King James Version
24 And certain of them which were with us
went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women had said:
but him they saw not.
Acts 24:24
King James Version
24 And after certain days,
when Felix came with his wife Drusilla,
which was a Jewess,
he sent for Paul, and heard him
concerning the faith in Christ.
In "Keys to Scripture Numerics", the number "24" is associated with "PRIESTHOOD".
It says David distributed the priesthood among 24 of the descendants of Aaron:
"Among the sons of Eleazar there were SIXTEEN chief men, and of the sons of Ithamar there were EIGHT chief men."
The book quoted 1 Chronicles 24:1-18.
It also pointed out the 24 elders in the Book of Revelation:
Revelation 4:4
King James Version
4 And round about the throne
were four and twenty seats:
and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,
clothed in white raiment;
and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Other verses on the 24 elders:
Revelation 4:10-11
King James Version
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him
that sat on the throne,
and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
