ezekiel dead sea 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳貼文
Note that there were 153 great fishes that were caught, and yet the net didn’t break. Jesus also didn’t need the fishes for cooking (He was also cooking other fishes on the fire of coals), so they must have a separate significance from provision.
The passage doesn’t say that the fishes were of the same species so we can’t assume that they are.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus told a parable about God’s kingdom:
““Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind, which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.” (Matthew 13:47-48 WEB)
The fishes in the parable represent people from every nation. The parable also sounds like what just happened in this incident.
In the Book of Ezekiel, there is a prophecy about the Millennium whereby the Dead Sea will come back to life and will be full of fishes of all kinds:
“It shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En Gedi even to En Eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.” (Ezekiel 47:10 WEB)
153 is a triangular number, which means that if you add every whole number from 1 all the way to 17, you’ll get 153.
153 is also the 17th triangular number.
The numerical value of the Hebrew letters in the word gedi (גדי) in the name “Engedi (עין גדי)” adds up to 17.
The numerical value for the word eglaim (עגלים) in the name “Eneglaim (עין עגלים)” adds up to 153.
The Hebrew word gedi (גדי) is the 153rd word of Ezekiel 47.
So the 153 fishes could represent the believers who are saved from all nations who will reign together with Jesus in the Millennium.
It is a promise of the redemption and restoration of both mankind and Israel.
The net wasn’t broken despite the huge catch — once you are saved, you will never be lost.
No one can snatch you out of your Abba Father and Jesus’ hands!
