Does God really test us in threes, like the patterns seen in the Bible?

[jennifer_bloom]

The devil came to test Jesus 3 times in the wilderness

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are a chain of 3

3 Heroes saved Jacob’s family during the famine: Joseph, Judah, and Benjamin

There are 150 Psalms which is 50 x 3

There are 66 books in the Christian bible and 24 books in the Jewish bible, all divisible by 3

There are 3 books in the Old Testament that have 2 parts: 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles

There are 3 righteous men named Joseph in the bible, Joseph who had a dream about his greatness, Joseph who was told in a dream to marry Mary; and Joseph the rich man who donated his tombstone to Jesus before Jesus rose from the dead.

As the saying goes "bad luck comes in threes." Weirdly it does seem to hold true.

Lots of things come in 3
Birth life death
Earth sea sky
The holy trinity
Body mind soul
Past present future

We see it in the truskele and triquetra symbols and three was often used a memory tool in ancient times by bards when telling stories so it's likely Jesus would have used the same technique

"Three things not easily restrained, the flow of a tor****, the flight of an arrow, and the tongue of a fool"

There's also The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Very interesting idea!

That pattern is so interesting! Between Jesus' three temptations and Peter being asked 'Do you love me?' three times, there's definitely weight to it. Do you feel like you're going through a triple test right now? 😁

Im my life i have always felt this is what happens to me

And when talking with people this is my experience in everything that happens with me

Yes, God test us in threes least I believe so and I believe it to be true.

I know that celebrities always die in threes.
