What does the number 9 symbolize in the bible?

Answer 1

In The Bible, not all numbers have a symbolic meaning.

Even those numbers that do have a symbolic meaning, do not necessarily have a symbolic meaning every time the number is used.

The number 9 does not seem to have a symbolic meaning; but seems always to be a literal number.

The Bible is a book of history and prophecy - - thus it does not need to be a complicated book of numerology, as if every number has a deeper meaning.

Answer 2

Answer 1

Various numbers used in the Bible seem to have symbolic meanings, i.e. 7 & 4, but nine does not appear to be one of them.

Answer 2

Some have suggested that it is the number of finality or judgment and that the judgment is committed unto Jesus as "the Son of man" (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man - the judgment of man and all his works. It is a factor of 666, which is 9x74. The Hebrew gematria of the word "Dan," which means a judge, is 54 (9x6)."th orgh mou" (tee orgee mou), my wrath = 999 (Hebrews 3:11).

Answer 3

Nine means life (nonbiblical).

Answer 4

There is an interesting article on 'the bible wheel' re number 9. Says there are 9 fruits of the spirit and 9 is mentioned as the hour of prayer in the New Testament. It talks of 9 being a number of 'finality' because it is the last and largest digit and because it is just before 10-so a sense of 'nearly there'. In other articles i have read of the fact that nine is 3x3 and 3 is very significant in the bible-(number of Trinity)
