.....hmmm....sorry...a bit more four....
ONE - Denotes unity,
and commencement. The first occurrences of words or utterances
denote their essential significance, in interpretation. Words that occur only once, in the originals,
are emphatic and important. First day, Light.
TWO - Denotes difference.
If two different persons agree in testimony it is conclusive.
Otherwise two implies opposition, enmity, and division, as was the work of the Second
day.
Compare the use of the word "double" applied to "heart", "tongue", "mind",
&c.
THREE -
Denotes completeness, as three lines complete a plane figure. Hence, three is
significant of Divine perfection and completeness. The third day completes the fundamentals of
creation-work. The fourth, fifth, and sixth days are the counterpart and repetition of the first,
second, and third, and correspond respectively. The number, three, includes resurrection
also; for on the third day the earth rose up out of the deep, and fruit rose up out of
the earth.
FOUR - Denotes creative
works (3+1), and always has reference to the material creation, as
pertaining to the earth, and things "under the sun", and things terrestrial.
