PRE-NAMED, KJV
1. Ishmael - Gen 16:11
2. Isaac - Gen 17:19
3. Solomon - 1Chr22:9
4. Josiah - 1Kings13:2
5. Cyrus - Isa 44:28
6. John Baptist - Lk 1:13
7. Jesus - Matt 1:21
These seven names were pre-ordained (pre-assigned?) in scripture, and
the verses usually give cognate meanings to those names.
Do I think the number seven is in some way prophetic? No, it won't bother
me if someone finds more, or disputes these.
Maybe the newer Bible Versions
say it differently?
Philipians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth"
two (2) named: enoch, lamech, jacob, Noah, Joanna, Lazarus, John
7 Marys, 9 Josephs, 3 Tamars, 3 Sauls
