Treasures of the Kingdom Tidbits
Kingdom Treasure #1
As I wrote each treasure, I felt like they were to be put in a particular order. Each treasure is numbered starting with the number 1 and going all the way through to number 19. We have already seen what 19 means. But let's start at the beginning. What's behind the number 1 in Kingdom Treasure #1? What does the number 1 mean biblically?
The number 1 marks the beginning or first. It also suggests "oneness as a quality of God, as a symbol of unity and as an expression of the unique value of individual persons." So , Kingdom Treasure #1, is truly about beginnings - the beginning of a new bloodline and how that adds value to each individual. This new bloodline and the inheritance it offers is truly a treasure!
