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}

Some Messiah's Fulfillment of the Scriptures

Do you want to know why Christians believe that Jesus the firstborn son of Mary is the Messiah? The one who can prove that is the old testament and the new testament of the Bible how Jesus fulfilled the Sacred Scriptures about the Messiah.

Luke 24:44
Jesus said to his disciples, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

1. So, every written about the Messiah in Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms are fulfilled with Jesus Christ. Here are some of the fulfillment about him in the Scriptures. First, one of the fulfillment in the Moses' Law. Deuteronomy 18:17-18
   The LORD said to Moses, “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers, I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.”
   Acts 3:22
   For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people, you must listen to everything he tells you.’ The Anointed One that mentioned on the verse of the new testament of the Bible above is the person that telling on the verse bellow. Acts 3:20
   God shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached to you.
2. Second, one of the fulfillment of the Sacred Scriptures about the Anointed One in the book of Isaiah the Prophet. Isaiah 7:14
   Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Mary the wife of Joseph who gave a virgin birth to Jesus took place to fulfill what the God had said to Prophet Isaiah. Matthew 1:22-23
   All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.” One of the fulfillment of the Holy Scriptures about the Messiah the Anointed One in the book of Jeremiah the Prophet. Hebrews 8:6-13
   But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said, ^{(Jeremiah 31:31-34)} “The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” ^{(Hebrews 8:13)} By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

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.
