153 Fishes? Joh 21:11

[shann0]

Ok, I've got a puzzle for you.

Joh 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

What is the significance of the number of fishes? I've never heard a satisfactory answer for this. Yet I know that nothing is in the bible by chance. There's a mystery here that we're meant to dig up.

In the greek, letters are also numbers. The letters that spell out "sons of god", add up to 153. Notice specifically that it was 153 GOOD fishes. There was a very large multitude of "bad" fishes(like catfish which aren't kosher)...which were thrown away.

I think both Perry Stone and Grant Jeffrey have done some studies on this passage. But yes, it is about the significance of letter/numbers. Where all words add up to a certain number. And like i said, the phrase "sons of god" is 153.

Okay, found it. You need to read Grant Jeffrey's book "Unveiling Mysteries of the Bible". This contains a chapter about this verse specifically.

Also, if you haven't studied theomatics(numbers in the bible), then you should. I messed around with it about 10 years or so ago. Good website about it that will blow your mind up: angelfall.com which i think is the new website. They have an old website too. Specifically about that passage though: angelfall.com/viewpdf.php?file=2e.pdf

I have looked at theomatics a bit. Thanks wateredseeds, I'll look into it.
