Let’s discuss the importance and symbolism of the number 5 in Hebrew. The word is Hamesh, and looks like this:
חמש
The number 5 symbolizes the idea of saving, to be saved, or to be rescued. Starting with the middle letter Mem, מ , which represents the world. It is God that saves or rescues us from the world as we repent, follow, and keep His commandments.
On either side of the world, or Mem, are two Hebrew letters that both represent our final destination or goal in being saved.
The Chet, ח, is life, or eternal life, and often this character is a symbol for the Holy of Holies, or the Celestial Kingdom, which is the only place to enjoy and receive eternal life.
The other letter, Shin, ש, is the eternal flame or burning bush, or even better, the tree of life, which all represent Jesus Christ, or again eternal life with Christ.
Therefore, the number 5 is a powerful reminder that God will save us from the world. Notice that the world is in the middle surrounded by the symbols of eternal life and our returning to the presence of the Lord. Despite feeling surrounded by evil and entrapped in our sinful lives, if we will turn to Him, repent of our sins and obey, he will save us.
I really love the contrast and the message that if we but turn and look to the Savior, He will save us and we will be eternally encircled in Him!
Wonderful! I felt a leading in my spirit to research what 5 symbolises in Hebrew and the Lord led me here. I thank you for this write up. The Lord is calling me to repentance in this 5th month. Glory to his name for the revelation.
I always wonder why David pick 5 stones to fight Goliath…now I know the meaning.
I needed to hear this today! Praise God!
There’s more!!! Samuel was 1)the last Judge.2) High Priest of Israel. 3) Prophet to Israel. That’s “3”. Yeshua (Jesus ) meets “5” positions! 1)Savior. 2) God’s greatest Prophet(He was God in the flesh). 3) High Priest( the highest!). 4) Judge(at Judgement Day, of course,..
And throughout the Millennial Kingd
).
And 5) King (King of King and Lord of Lords!!!) Jesus saves! Just as the number 5 in Hebrew denotes.
I grew up in a deep dark home in Japan, saw and experienced countless evil, practicing some of them in my youth.
Though I was always isolated in the large family lonely and forgotten, and abused most of my life. But I had a sense of God in this Godless society having a heart of forgiveness and never developed bitterness or hate towards fellow human, big love of animals.
Wondering through dark time but miraculously got saved when I turned 41. 40 years of wilderness but the Lord saved my soul.
I just got curious about the numbers of my birth date;
May-5. Grace
….8 – New beginning
Born Again resurrected into eternal life, Receive devine wisdom and you will live in peace and harmony, much more, so rich.
I am 71 now, and finally found this in His perfect time, love my Savior!

We are all in need of the saving Grace of God. This reading is Rhema! I am awaiting results of a breast biopsy and have been fasting. Reading of God’s saving Grace this morning has given me great resolve in knowing that God is the Great Physician, Miracle Maker, Healer and Our Heavenly Father that prospers us and do us no harm if we follow His commandments. I rejoice and shout praises unto our God for He first loved us to give us His only begotten son. My head is lifted upon the Hills which cometh my help. Our God is on the Throne! I am healed by His grace because I walk by faith and not by sight. GOD BLESS US ALL.
I will be praying that you find comfort and peace.
All i can say is that my heart beats for my Lord, my God,for because of Him,my heart beats.
I am living by His mercy and grace.

This morning God drew me to a window and I saw 5 doves sitting under a palm tree.I was surprised to see them there ,in a circle of 4 and 1 in the middle.I knew in my spirit God was telling something.
5 IS MADE UP OF CHET (8), MEM (13) AND SHIN (21) THIS MEANS THAT FIVE CONATINS THE PHI RELATIONSHIP 5,8,13,21…..
Berisheet (the first Hebrew word in the bible) has a Hebrew value of 915.
915 sec = 5:55
Oops! I mean 9:15 = 555 sec.
I too was lead to this writing by His leading when questioning all the 5s He had show up in my life yesterday (5-5-23)…enjoyed the content and also find importance in seeing another comment posted here from this day 5 years ago. God is SO cool💗✝️
Makes you think a little more about David choosing 5 stones now doesn’t it. Blessings
Saved by grace, I saw 555 in front of my thoughts and now I know why.
Struggling over brokenness, I know my Savior loves me and will deliver me to His Kingdom in peace and love.
This holy love is the greatest love I ever knew.
My heart is throbbing in His beautiful mercy and grace.
God put my social security number on my mind, it contains five 5’s in it. So I looked up the meaning of 5 and came across this article. Thanks for sharing, I have a clearer idea of what God is showing me. Grace upon grace!
