Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, wrote that this “5-pointed star is the symbol of our Faith, as used by the Báb and explained by Him.” Interestingly enough, the numerical value of the Bab is also five. The Bab often wrote tablets in the shape of this five-pointed star.Īn unidentified tablet in the Bab’s handwriting One point of each star represents the human head, the two points on each side represent our two hands, and the two points towards the bottom of the star represent our two feet. In fact, the five-pointed star, or “haykal,” means “temple” or “the body or form of something” in Arabic. These two stars represent the Bab, the herald of the Baha’i Faith, and Baha’u’llah, the prophet and founder. On each side of the emblem is a five-pointed star. The vertical line that connects them all is the Holy Spirit. The middle line represents the Manifestations of God or prophets (i.e., Zoroaster, Moses, the Buddha, Christ, Krishna, and Mohammed), and the line at the bottom represents humanity. RELATED: The Spiritual Meaning and Significance of the Number 9Īlong with the nine-pointed star, the other symbol of the Baha’i Faith is an emblem that shows three horizontal bars and a vertical line going through the center, intersecting them all. In addition to being reflected in our anatomy and the celestial orbits’ structure, the number 5 is also evident in the symbology of the Baha’i Faith. The Symbolism of the Number 5 in the Baha’i Faith L2, which is 1 million miles from the Earth in the opposite direction of the Sun, is currently occupied by NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. For example, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and the Deep Space Climate Observatory are currently stationed at the first Lagrangian point, L1, between the Earth and the sun at about 1 million miles from the Earth. The interaction of these forces creates a point of equilibrium where a spacecraft can remain. Lagrange points in the Sun–Earth system (not to scale). There are five Lagrangian points for the sun-Earth system and five different Lagrangian points for the Earth-moon system. These five positions are called Lagrange points. Most mammals, amphibians, and reptiles also have five fingers or toes on each extremity.Īccording to astronomy, there are five unique positions in space where a small mass can orbit in a constant pattern produced from the gravitational pull of two larger masses like the sun and the Earth. We also have five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. We know from our physiology that we have five senses - sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste - to experience the world. The Significance of the Number 5 in Science From biology and astronomy to faith and religion, the number five has special meaning and significance. But it signifies more than just high energy and excitement. When you see the same number consistently, God is trying to convey something to you.According to numerology, the number five symbolizes freedom, curiosity, and change – a desire to have adventures and explore new possibilities. These numbers are often seen at random times, such as on a mailbox, a letter or on a license plate. This holds true for other numbers such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. Often this number is seen in various combinations such as 1:11, 11:1 and 11:11. One way that God speaks is through numbers. God also speaks to us through Scripture, prophesy, visions and dreams (Acts 2:17). 6:16). As God’s garden, His voice walks in our thoughts, our heart, feelings and our five senses of sight taste, smell, and hearing. His voice however, is not always heard as a “voice.” As the temple of the Lord, God has said, “I will dwell in them and I will walk in them and I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (2 Cor. Jesus, declared, “ My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me” (John 10:27.)įundamental to every believer is the ability to hear His voice. The Word is a person, the Lord Jesus Christ who still speaks to His people today. The disciples knew Jesus as the living Word who dwelt among them (John 1:14). Adam and Eve “ heard the voiceof the Lord God walking in the garden” (Genesis 3:1). From the very beginning, for fellowship and interchange, God communicated with His creation. In John 1:1 it is written that Jesus is called the “Word of God.” God is a God of communication. We shall cover numbers a bit later, but first, lets look as some prophetic basics. T he Prophetic Meaning of Numbers by Roy RodenĪre you seeing numbers at various times? Such as waking up at night just to see a number like 1:11 or 2:22 or 3:33, appear on your clock? God is communicating to you.
