Topical Encyclopedia
The term "twenty-fifth" in the context of the Bible does not directly refer to a specific event or teaching but can be associated with dates, genealogies, or sequences within the biblical narrative. The number itself may appear in various contexts, such as the counting of days, years, or positions within a list.

Biblical References:

1. Dates and Events:
· The Bible often uses specific dates to mark significant events, particularly in the Old Testament. While the "twenty-fifth" day of a month is not frequently highlighted, it can be part of the broader context of biblical chronology. For example, in the post-exilic period, the twenty-fifth day of a month might be mentioned in relation to temple activities or other events.

2. Genealogies and Lists:
· In genealogical records or lists of names, the "twenty-fifth" position might be noted, although it is not typically emphasized. These lists serve to establish lineage, tribal affiliation, or the fulfillment of divine promises.

3. Symbolic Use:
· Numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic meaning. While the number twenty-five itself is not prominently featured with specific symbolism, it can be seen as a combination of the numbers twenty (often associated with completeness or a period of waiting) and five (which can symbolize grace or God's goodness).

Historical and Cultural Context:

In the Jewish calendar, specific days of the month hold particular significance due to festivals or historical events. While the twenty-fifth day is not universally significant across all months, it is worth noting that the twenty-fifth of Kislev marks the beginning of Hanukkah, a post-biblical Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple. Although Hanukkah is not mentioned in the canonical books of the Old Testament, it is referenced in the New Testament in John 10:22, where Jesus is present in the temple during the Feast of Dedication.

Theological Implications:

From a theological perspective, the use of specific dates and numbers in the Bible underscores the importance of divine order and timing. God's sovereignty is often demonstrated through the precise unfolding of events, whether in the fulfillment of prophecy or the establishment of covenants. While the "twenty-fifth" may not hold a unique theological significance, it is part of the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes God's meticulous plan for His people.

Practical Application:

For believers, the mention of specific dates and numbers in Scripture can serve as a reminder of God's attention to detail and His faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. It encourages a deeper appreciation for the historical and cultural context of the Bible, fostering a greater understanding of how God interacts with His creation through time and history.
