Imperfect Number Thirteen is Not Unlucky

Do you want to know if the factors of the number 13 such as thirteenth floor, friday the 13th, and thirteenth room are a real unlucky in reality? We must first define what is the word imperfect number which were often titled to the number 13. An imperfect number is a number either greater or less than the sum of its divisors. For example in the physical view on your two hands if they've ten fingers that means it's perfect because 10 is a perfect number of the fingers for both two hands, but if they have nine fingers which is less than or have eleven which is greater than the perfect number of hands' fingers, it's an imperfect cause that isn't the normal number of hands' fingers. Why the number 13 was often titled as imperfect number?

“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed...” ^{Matthew 19:25} “Jesus said to them, ‘Verily I say to you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’” ^{Matt. 19:28}

“When the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them...” ^{Luke 22:14-15} ‘Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father had appointed to me, that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’ ^{Lu. 22:28-30}

In biblical view the number twelve is considered as a perfect number because it is the number of the original apostles of Jesus Christ which will be sat on the 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. Therefore, over than that number is an imperfect such as thirteen. And there are also a miscellaneous saying which came from his last supper, that if there were thirteen people around the table, one of them will die. What a commandment of a man!

“And they prayed, and said, ‘You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two you have chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.’ And they gave forth their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” ^{Acts 1:24-26}

How to Cast the Evil Spirit Out of the Person

Some people have experienced seeing a demon-possessed person, or have experienced the possession of a devil. Did you know, that kind of possession is also written in the Bible on Mark 5:2(B)-5?
Jesus met out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces, neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

You can cast the spirit out of the demon-possessed person with a word as the way that described on Matthew 8:16(B-C).
The people in there brought to Jesus many who were possessed with devils. And he cast out the spirits with a word.

You can cast the demon out of the person in the name of Jesus Christ as on Mark 9:38-40.
John answered Jesus, saying, “Master, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he doesn't follow us.” But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me. For the person who is not against us is on our side.”

Why should you cast the demon in the name of Jesus Christ? Because an evil spirit knew him, for it is written on Mark 1:34(B-D).
Jesus cast out many demons, and he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

The spirit knew that the Christ is the Son of God and a demon who possessed the person can be torment as on Matt. 8:29.
Two demon-possessed men cried out, saying, “What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

Cast out the demon in the manner what Paul have done that written on Acts 16:16(C)-18.
A certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met some disciples, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and them, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the most high God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

Only God Knows the Date of the End of the World

There are some people try to predict the exact date of the end of our world. I do not know where did they get their prediction about the end. But if the predict of a person about the exact day of the end is near as month, I foretold you that the prediction of that person is wrong, because the fearful signs in the heavens will appear, months before the end. Months, plural, that's why if that prediction is nigh as month, it will doesn't happened.

Luke 21:11B
Fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Those fearful sights and great signs in the heavens before the destruction of the world are the sun will be darkened, so the moon shall also darkened and shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall.

Matthew 24:29 / Mark 13:24-25 / Luke 21:25-26
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, there shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers that are in heavens shall be shaken.

So, a tribulation shall come first before the fearful-great signs in the heavens. The physical tribulations of those days are you will hear wars and rumors of wars, and great earthquakes shall be in various places, there will be famines, pestilences, and troubles.

Matthew 24:7-8 / Mark 13:8 (Luke 21:10-11A)
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles, and pestilences. All these are the beginnings of sorrows.

Some of those tribulations are already happened and the other are started to begin. But the high priority of those tribulations that we might need to be more careful are the rising of the false Christs and the false prophets, and now they are started to appear.

Matthew 24:24 / Mark 13:22
For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, to seduce, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive even the very elect.

A Demon-Possessed Man is a Prove of Spirits

I didn't know why some other people doesn't believe in the existence of God, it is also because they do not believe in a spirit being. But a man who possessed by an evil spirit is proven by my two eyes, and I'm telling you that now, I doesn't tell a lie. There is also a demon-possessed man mentioned in the Bible, and here are the verses of the Holy Scripture about a man or a woman that possessed by an evil spirit.

Matthew
4:24 Then his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possesed, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
8:16 When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.
8:28 When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
9:32-33 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a man, mute and demon-possessed. And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”
12:22 Then one was brought to him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

Mark
1:32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
5:2-5 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains.

Luke
8:27 And when he stepped out on the land, there met him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.

Who Can Understand the Sealed Book in the Bible

Many of the Bible readers know that a sealed book in the Bible has still sealed until now, but they are wrong. So, a reader who said that they understand the Bible must know that its seal was already loosed, for it is written in Romans 16:25-26 of the Bible, “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets according to the commandment of the everlasting God...” The preaching of Christ is the revelation of the mystery in the books of the prophets which was kept secret. In the book of Daniel 12:9-10, “The words are closed up and sealed till many shall be purified, made white, and tried in the time of the end, but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of them shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” Becoming wise is one of the requirements to understand the word of God. And in Proverbs 1:23, God said, “Turn you at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.” Means, the people who didn't turn at the reproof of God are not guaranteed to understand the Holy Scripture. And you should knew the mind of Christ to understand a lot of things in the Bible because in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, “The things that not seen nor heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, which God had prepared for them that love him. But God had revealed them unto us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searched the deep things of God. The things of God known by the Spirit of God. Now we have received the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. We speak in the words which the Holy Ghost had teach. They that are spiritual judged all things. For who had known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” The apostles preach by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to get that spirit is written in Ephesians 1:13, “In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise...” The God can also open your heart to understand the sacred book like what's written in Acts 16:14, “A certain woman named Lydia a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira which worshipped God, was listening, whose heart opened by the Lord, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.” The Lord makes her heart interested unto the spiritual things which were spoken of Paul. Of course, she understand it that's why she became interested.
