"Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered./ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth"
What is the significance of 15? We find the sam number in multiples of10 in v.24. " And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days." We shall consider from the book of Daniel, "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days./Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.:(Dan.12.11-12) First the context. It is about the day of the Lord. "and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."(Dan.12.1). "And death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. It refers to the white throne judgment. "(Rev.20.13) It was not for Daniel to know but the lapse of 45 is quite revealing. In the ends the beast sets his own worship signalling the great tribulation. Blessed is he who is redeemed from the earth as in the case of Noah. "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: " But no one is able to enter into it.(Rev.11.19)."And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple,"(Rev.15.8) Here the vision is referring to groups of people redeemed from the earth and the latter group belong to the martyrs, from internal evidence the 144,000 sealed by the angel.
The command number Three refers to the Son. The waters prevailed over covering the mountains.3x5=15 Gathering of souls from the perishing world is left to the Son. The ark of Noah is the first of the three making up 45 mentioned in the book of Daniel. The number Five is the tag for soul of man.
