One is God's number

Since the election, I've heard two words come up over and over and over again with FOX News reporters/pundits and their clips of politicians/governmental figures pontificating: Unity and division.

The number of God is 1. It's the number of unity and the foundation for all other numbers because every other number is a multiple of one.

“No. 1 is a fundamental, foundational number, which makes sense that it would be God’s number," explains Jordan. "It first occurs in the text of Scripture in Genesis 1:9: ‘And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.’

“The waters He scattered out and now they’re gathered to one place. The idea with one is a gathering together in one place. In Deuteronomy 6:4—the great confession of Israel—Moses writes, ‘Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.’ ”

“Now, you go to Genesis 2 and see No. 2 is a number of division. It’s interesting that it’s in Genesis 2 that Adam is divided. Genesis 1 says, ‘He created man and in the image of God created he.’

“Well, when did Adam become a ‘them’? In Genesis 2, God put Adam asleep, opened up his side, took out a rib and out of that rib He formed a separate person, Eve. Now there’s two.

“I’ve often thought about what it would have been like when Adam woke up from that sleep. I’ve never been anesthetized but once in my life and that’s when they did the radiation implants, and when I woke up from that I looked down at my feet and there stood a nurse with a Geiger counter. I said, ‘What are you doing?!’

“Well, when Adam woke up there stood Eve. I don’t know what you think he might have said—‘Whoa, where have you been all my life?!’

“And verse 24 describes what God did: ‘Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.’ We like to say, ‘Baby, I’m stuck on you.’ Do you see that word 'one' there? It’s about uniting together.

“If you really want to see it in action, come over to Genesis 11, because every uniting is not a good uniting.

“Genesis 11 says ‘the whole earth was of one language.’ Verse 6 says the ‘people are one and have one language.’ I read that chapter and I think, ‘Wow, that is so true! Man can accomplish and achieve anything he sets his mind on doing unless God intervenes, as He did here.’

“They had one world with one language, and in verse 4 they tried to create a one-world religion. It was globalism at its best.”
