21 and the Godhead.
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; Colossians 2:9
Jesus is the manifestation of the Godhead or the Trinity, representing the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost in the flesh. We see this in the number twenty-one.
21 = 3 x 7
Therefore, twenty-one is the product of three sevens. Both three and seven are considered “perfect” numbers when used in the Bible because they are used often by God with unique characteristics.
There are four “perfect” numbers used in the Bible: three (Divine Perfection), seven (Spiritual Perfection), ten (Ordinal Set, when things are put into order), and twelve (Divine Government). Half of these perfect numbers make up twenty-one for the Godhead.
Three is the perfect number of Divinity, or God, and lends itself to a notion of personal interaction, as in the Trinity, Three Persons in One.
Three indicates when God personally makes things perfect.
Seven is the perfect number of spirituality when things are measured against a backdrop of physical imperfection. The spiritual nature declares a perfection in and of itself, out of its nature.
A moment is perfected when the spiritual interacts.
The physical adds while the spiritual multiplies and God Himself works exponentially.
21 represents God’s spiritual nature, and this number explains the fullness of the Holy Trinity, which is 7 (The Heavenly Father), x 7 (the Son), x 7 (the Holy Spirit).
God’s Name and 21
God gave us His name: I AM THAT I AM, the long-form, but He also gave us the short version: I AM.
In Hebrew, I AM is Ehyeh, which is in Gematria (the counting of the numerical values in the Hebrew alphabet), 21
The Number 21 is a triangular number, the sixth one, which means it is the sum of all the digits up to and including six:
21 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = T(6)
God’s nature is defined and declared by the number 21.
