What does the number eight mean in the Bible?
The number eight signifies a new beginning, following the perfect number seven. Eight souls entered Noah's Ark, marking a new beginning after the flood. The eighth 'I AM' in Revelation points to the new beginning of the eternal day. However, the Antichrist, though eighth, goes into perdition.
Les explains that the number eight follows the perfect number seven and signifies another beginning or a new beginning. He points to the eight souls who entered Noah's Ark as the new beginning after the flood. He also notes seven names of deity and seven 'I AM' statements in the Old Testament and in John, with the eighth 'I AM' in Revelation—the bright and morning star—marking the new beginning of the eternal day. The Antichrist is also described as the eighth, coming out of the seven, but his end is perdition. Daniel saw the thrones cast down and the Ancient of Days sit, showing the Antichrist's destruction.
