   2. Hebrews 11:3 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.  Romans 1:29-31 – lists the twenty-three charges brought by Paul the nineteenth is that they didn’t have understanding, therefore without faith. It is by faith that we understand.

2.) Twenty = redemption, waiting, and expectancy

   1. 20 Dreams in the bible
   2. 20 visions in the bible
   3. The Vision of Zacharias concerning the birth of John the Baptist

(Luke 1:11-22)

Zacharias was doing his regular duties in the order of his course (Luke 1:8-10).

 An angel appeared and told him that his prayer had been answered.

The angel said: “Your wife shall bear a son, call him John,” meaning God is gracious.

Instead of rejoicing, he questioned. There is a thief called unbelief. At a time when you could be celebrating and rejoicing, this thief causes you to enter with doubt and cynical heart; thereby, you’ve been robbed of the joy of expectancy.

Zacharias wasn’t allowed to speak; his doubt and unbelief couldn’t stop the promise of God. The promises of God will be fulfilled in their season.

3.) Thirty-Five = Hope (1 Corinthians 13:13)

1. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
2. Faith = 19, Charity or Love = 16, (19 +16 = 35)
3. Hebrews 11 – Women who received their dead to life again found in verse 35.
4. II Thessalonians 2:16 – a good hope comes through grace
5. Ephesians 1:7 – 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
   1. 5 -= grace, 30 = the blood = 35 hope
6. Hebrews 4:9 There remains, therefore, a rest for the people of God. 
   1. Rest comes through redemption.
7. Romans 8:23-34 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
   1. Redemption of the body is connected with HOPE.
   2. 15 = Rest + 20 (Redemption and Waiting with Expectancy); the sum is thirty-five (35) Hope.

We have this hope. 

Hebrews 6:19 NKJV 

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 

II Corinthians 4:7 NKJV

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
