John 21, This is 3rd time Jesus appeared after resurrection. 17 is the 7th prime number. St. Augustine added 1 thru 17 together, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, etc the sum is 153. Gregory took trinity twice 3X3X17=153. Jerome said there's 153 kinds of fish, the Gospel is for all kinds of men. SEE E.W.Bullinger's "Numbers in Scripture", 1 is number of God, 2 is witness, 3 is Trinity, 6 is man, etc. 9 is "complete and final end of all judgements" - 17 is "complete and perfect spiritual order". 153 then is about Jesus, He fulfilled "the perfect complete and orderly final end of all spiritual judgements". Rev19:10 "the spirit of prophecy is testimony of Jesus". |
