If four is the number of the world, then it represents man’s
weakness, and helplessness, and vanity, as we have seen.
But four plus one (4+1=5) is significant of Divine strength
added to and made perfect in that weakness; of omnipotence
combined with the impotence of earth; of Divine favor
uninfluenced and invincible.
November 6
Six is either 4 plus 2, i.e., man’s world (4) with man’s enmity
to God (2) brought in: or it is 5 plus 1, the grace of God made
of none effect by man’s addition to it, or perversion, or
corruption of it: or it is 7 minus 1, i.e., man’s coming short of
spiritual perfection. In any case, therefore, it has to do with
man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the
number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without
Christ.
Six, therefore, is the number of labor also, of man’s labor as
apart and distinct from God’s rest. True, it marks the
completion of Creation as God’s work, and therefore the
number is significant of secular completeness.
The serpent also was created on the sixth day.
The Sixth Commandment relates to the worst sin – murder.
The sixth clause of the Lord’s prayer treats of sin.
The number 6 is stamped on all that is connected with
human labor. We see it stamped upon his measures which
he uses in his labor, and on the time during which he labors.
And we see this from the very beginning.
The number 6 is also stamped upon the measurements of
the Great Pyramid, the unit of which was the inch and its
sexagesimal multiples. The first multiple is the foot, 12
inches (2×6); and after this the rises are 18 ( 3 x 6), 24 (4×6),
30 ( 5 x 6), and 36 (6×6 = the yard).
