59th Live Stream with Carlton Pearson - Sacredness to numbers, names and seasons

About this sermon

What do you have to look forward to in 2014? Do you believe in numerology, biblical or otherwise? Is there something for you in the numbers? How have the numbers 3, 7, 10 and 12 played out in scripture? Was 2013 the year you wanted? Numerology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the secret (occult) significance of numbers. The word occult is a derivative of the Latin word occultare which means secrete, it is a frequentative of the Latin word occulere which means to hide or conceal. It has nothing to do with demons or evil, unless you choose to make it so. To the pure, all things are pure. Is there a secret sacredness to numbers, names and seasons?
