And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James 5.15
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto him
much incense, that he should offer it
with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the
throne.
Revelation 8.3
There are two closely related Greek words that mean prayer. I first look at the
word used in
James 5.15 above, euche. Its value is:
| Prayer
Euche |
= 1013 |
The Number 1013 is prime, and is also the the value of the phrase much incense from Revelation
8.3. We have the identity:
| Much Incense
thumiamata polla |
= 1013 = Prayer (Euche) |
It should not go unnoticed that these ideas are intimately related in the text of
Scripture.
The other word is proseuche, from the root euche prefixed
with "pros" which
conveys the idea of drawing near. Euche may be used with either a human or God
as its object, whereas prosuche is used only with reference to the Lord. This word
is numerically identical to the word translated as censer in Revelation 8.3:
| Censer
Libanotos |
= 1463 = Prayer (Proseuche) |
These identities should serve as a constant reminder of the meaning of prayer, and
its value to the Lord God who designed these identities. Other associated words
and phrases are listed in the table below:
| The Number 1013 |
Prayer [James 5.15]
Euche

Much Insense [Rev 8.3]
