Two

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

In numerology two stands for division. This may be from the issue of first use. Two is the first number that can be divided. The first use here in Genesis being divided kingdoms, the one of day and the one of night. There is much to consider in this. It can also be seen as opposition.

But is that all that two means?

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

So two is also the first number of agreement. This leads to issues of agreement which is just the opposite of opposition.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

God honors agreement. It is the first sign of unity in the spirit, the release of the blessings of God come through agreement.

Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Two is the first defense against loneliness. Why is it not good for man to be alone?

Psalm 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

So a helpmate is important. How important you might ask. Important enough to be listed as one of the spiritual gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Just as two is more than what it is first seen and labeled….. So are we.

  1. A very enjoyable meditation, Larry. Two could also represent adequate testimony – “In the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established.”
    Loved your posting today!

  2. I love unity. Colossians 2:2 “that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love”. That verse immediately came to me because of your devotion this morning, which was just what I needed today. Thanks to you and the Spirit of God for the reassurance that we are not alone.
