[°]Biblical numerology is a fascinating study of meaning of numbers in the light of scriptures.
[°]If God is talking to you in numbers you cannot understand the message except you understand what the numbers mean biblically.
[°]The early church recognized that the Bible had four layers of interpretation, called the quadriga.
[°]They are:
1)Sensus tropologicus which means Literal in Nature.
2)Sensus allegoricus refers to Allegorical / Symbolic meaning.
3)Sensus moralis talks about Moral interpretation.
4)Sensus anagogicus refers to Anagogical / mystical meaning
[°]The symbols and numbers in Dream carry more than seventy percent spiritual meaning or what the early church term Anagogical/Mystical.
[°]Numbers are often used to compliments objects in other to communicate a message in the dream and vision.
[°]Also,note on a general note that Numbers may refer to the number of days or years for an event to occur.
[°]For example the three Basket Represents three days in the dream of the baker:
Genesis 40:16-19 KJV
“When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head: and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.”
It is not all numbers that have spiritual significance therefore we shall be looking at some of the ones that a visibly used in scriptures.

Now, beloved, do not let this one fact be hidden from you: that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years . . . (2Peter 3:8).
The number one thousand plays a critical role in God’s plan, especially concerning his (and our) adversary the devil.
Before Christ establishes the Kingdom of God on the earth, at his Second Coming, he will first have Satan restrained in a spiritual prison. The duration of his imprisonment will be 1,000 years.
One person will be able to chase away one thousand while countless others who attack will fall and cause them no harm (Joshua 23:10, Psalm 91:7).
Isaiah 60:22 KJV
“A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.”

[Number 144,000]
The number 144,000 symbolizes the church.
In Revelation 7:4 KJV:
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation then states, “And I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel” (Revelation 7:2 – 4, HBFV)
The 144,000 are mentioned again later in Revelation. The Apostle John, in a vision, sees a group of resurrected believers standing with Jesus Christ. They have been called and converted by God during the great tribulation period.
John states, “And I looked, and I beheld the Lamb standing on Mount Sion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads (they obey him and have His spirit in them)” (Revelation 14:1).
This special group, found in Revelation 7 and 14, are composed entirely of physical descendants of Israel. Scripture takes great pains to enumerate twelve of Israel’s tribes from which 12,000 people each will be converted (or sealed, see Revelation 7:5 – 8).
Meaning:
The number 144000 refers to God’s promise to the Jews. When you dream of this number it shows your connection with the Jew. God may be sending you to the harvest of the Jews for his kingdom.
