"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" Matt 28:19
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" Matt 12:40
"Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core" Jude 11
The physical realm has three dimensions. Three then stands for what is solid, real and substantial. It implies fullness and actuality. Three denotes divine testimony, manifestation and perfection.
The Godhead has three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence are the three great all-embracing non-communicable attributes of God. The Seraphim declared the perfect holiness of God, crying "holy, holy, holy".
In the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon, three is stamped upon their architecture and their furniture. For example, the holy of holies of both structures is a cube. There are three main sections in both structures.
The cycle of time has three divisions, past, present and future. The three virtues of a believer are faith, hope and love. Every activity of man can either be thought, word and deed.
Three is the number of resurrection foreshadowed in the third day of creation when dry land emerged out of the water. It is also forecast in Jonah when he was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
The three-fold enemy, the devil, the world and the flesh are complete manifestation of evil. The completeness of temptation lies in the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. The summation of apostasy are described three-fold, the way of Cain, the error of Balaam and the gainsaying of Core.
The Lord Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" denoting full and complete testimony of Who He is. There are three offices of Christ, showing His perfection. In the past, He was the Prophet. Presently, He is the great high Priest. He will be King in the future. The completeness of His Shepherd care is seen in His three titles, the Good, the Chief and the Great Shepherd.

"And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass." Gen 41:32
"And I will put a division between My people and thy people" Exo 8:23
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone" Eccl 4:9-11
The numeral two is the first number that divides. Therefore it speaks of a difference which may oppose and be for evil, or it may confirm and be for good. On one hand, it represents division (one against one) and it is symbolical of evil. Hence, it stands for enmity, opposition, oppression and conflict. On the other hand, it represents addition (one with one) and it gives the thought of confirmation, help and fellowship. Generally, the numeral two speaks of the sufficiency of testimony, either for good or for evil.

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." Deut 6:4
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Tim 2:5
The numeral one is a primary number. All other numbers depend upon number one. It precedes and produces all other numbers; that is, every digit is dependent upon number one.
The numeral one is God's number; without Him nothing could exist. "In the beginning, God..." No Creator, no creation. No Designer, no design. Without a Former, there can be no formation. In simple force, the numeral one expresses the unity of the Godhead. Like the number one which stands alone and is independent of all other numbers, God is independent and self-sufficient.
There cannot be two first's. The number two confirms that there is a difference. Christians are admonished to "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness". God's will excludes man's will. This first number excludes all other numbers. In this, a distinction is make as far as God is concerned. He did not have to create the universe; He was not compelled to form the first man; He could have excluded the human race. It was His sovereignty that this universe came into existence.
The numeral one individualizes and concentrates, rejecting plurality. It has the following meanings
- unity
- exclusivity
- supremacy
- independency
- first, beginning
Ephesians 4:4-6
A There is one body
B and one Spirit
C even as ye are called in one hope of your calling
X one Lord
C' one faith
B' one baptism
A' one God and Father of all,
who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35, 38-39
