The Number 3 and 1/3rd part...


Quick, name something from scripture (provide reference if you like) that refers to something that occurred in threes or was 1/3rd part?

--Ray

I'll start: 

 It took Nephi and his brothers three tries to get the brass plates. (1 Nephi 3-4)
 The Father spoke 3 times to the Nephites before they heard his message. (3 Nephi 11)
 1/3rd of the hosts of heaven followed Lucifer.

In regards to the 1/3 part, my comments on another thread:

The Apocalypse of John is written with a great deal of numerical symbology. Taking the numbers literally could very well be a mistake. The "third part" is a rabbinical term meaning "a significant portion of", rather like "forty days and forty nights" means "a significant period of time, especially a time of trial."

That's nice, shiz. Are you playing or not?

One third of the water will turn to blood.

A third of the water becomes wormwood. Maybe that's the same thing. WORMWOOD- interesting.

Umm... 333+333=666.

There are three members in the Godhead.

There are three members in the First Presidency. Or other presidencies and bishoprics...

3 men had a chance to save the beaten jew in the parable of the good samaritan, only one did...

Something to consider with these numbers is that 6 or 666 is an imperfect number. 7 is considered a perfect number, perfection being God. 6 is not perfect, man or satan.

Obviously a conspiracy with the number three. Even pawnshop's have three bulb lamps on the outside. It's a conspiracy.
