INTRODUCTION– JARRETT L. PERDUE SR.
This is Part 2 of a 3 Part Bible Teaching Series, Bishop Taliefero articulated on "Numbers in the Bible." This Bible Teaching is showing the numbers represented in scripture.
One of the great things I admired about Pastor Taliefero is that he would give homework assignments. He also wanted us to look up the numbers and scriptural significance so that we would have an understanding of the meanings. NOTE: I have added photos to show the impact of Bishop Taliefero's amazing prolific teachings.
Here is Part 2 of “Numbers In The Bible.” Bishop C.H. Taliefero.
