Nothing Is Random

Creation is really marvelous. There is an intricate and splendid design in the world, down to the last dust mote. The bee makes a good example; its design is pervaded by the number 3.

The egg of a queen bee takes three days to hatch. The queen is fed for nine days, which is 3 x 3. She matures in fifteen days, 5 x 3. The worker bees mature in twenty-one days; the drones mature in twenty-four, all multiples of three.

In addition,the bodies of bees have three sections, a head and two stomachs. Their eyes are compound, made of about three thousand small, six-sided eyes, all multiples of three. They have six legs. The foot is made of three triangular sections, and triangles, as we know, are three-sided. Each antenna has nine sections, and the stinger has nine barbs on each side.

Another example comes from music. The frequencies of notes in the musical scale are all multiples of 11, with A-440 being an easy example. Even the differences in the notes, for example between A-440 and B-495 (55) are multiples of 11. Take a look at the others: C-264 (24 x 11), D-297 (27 x 11), E-330 (30 x 11),F-352 (32 x 11), G-396 (36 x 11).

In a world where all is order and design, it becomes apparent that, as it has been written, even the hairs of our heads are numbered.

I highly recommend E. W. Bullinger's Number in Scripture; Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance.
