The Vision
The topic under discussion was salvation when suddenly in a vision a 5 dollar bill was shown resting on a white bed.
GOD confirms His Word in ways that sometime defy and contradict human understanding. (1 Cor. 2:14) The spiritual meaning of the vision was immediately understood and validated the topic under discussion. The number 5 is printed on both sides of the five dollar bill and so the number 5 is, within this context, interpreted from two perspectives:
The First Testament | The Mosaic Law | One Side of the Five Dollar Bill
The Number 5 is one that was biblically and legally associated with Sin. In the Book of Numbers; specifically in Numbers 5:7 we learn that sin had to be CONFESSED and that restitution and amendments be made with an additional one FIFTH of the value owed.
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty; Then they shall CONFESS their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the FIFTH part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. (Numbers 5:6-8)
The Second Testament | Grace | The Flip Side of the Five Dollar Bill
Most importantly, the Number 5 is now biblically associated with GOD’S GRACE, kindness and good favour because of Jesus’ finished works on the Cross.
CONFESS your faults (includes genuine repentance) one to another and pray one for another (reconciliation) that ye may be healed. (Jn. 5:16)
If we CONFESS OUR SINS, he (our High Priest in Heaven Jesus Christ) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 Jn. 1:9)
For ye are BOUGHT WITH A PRICE (Jesus paid the debt/His sacrificial death) therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Cor. 6:20)
For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9) (Jesus nailed that legal Old Testament handwritten law of ordinance to the Cross. Col. 2:14; Eph.2:15).
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:1) (Sins are made white as snow and forgiven Believers can rest peacefully in the Lord’s imputed righteousness).
Genuinely Confessed Sin + faith and belief in God’s Grace = Salvation and Rest
I am hearing that this message is associated with Laser Light precision. It is a metaphoric confirmation that this Word, like a laser beam, has pin point accuracy! (2 Cor. 4:4; Ps. 119:105) Praise GOD and thank you Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Keep the Faith! Jesus paid the ultimate price to redeem humanity from sin!

Hi Suzanne. Thanks again. I see the first example: principle plus 1/5 premium (20% penalty for taking the sinful route).
The second example is a struggle for me. The laser analogy related to 5 is also a mystery to me.
Could you please explain this again for me.
Hi Glenn.
1) The number 5 relates to sin in the O.T. Back then it was the sinner’s responsibility to pay what was owed with, yes, added interest.
2) The number 5 in the New Testament relates to GRACE and is the flip side of the five dollar bill. That is to say, Jesus took the legal hit for the penalty of sin on our behalf. But the sin must be confessed. (Side note: the problem occurs when there is a lack of godly sorrow, genuine confession, reconciliation and repentance.)
For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God. (Eph. 2:8-9)
3) “A laser beam is a concentrated and highly directional beam of LIGHT that has precise application.” The Word of Knowledge was a metaphorical confirmation that the posted Word which is Light (2 Cor. 4:4; Ps. 109:105) was highly accurate and precise.
Does this help?
I forgot to include the following source on the meaning of the number 5 in the Bible.
The number 5 many times symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor toward humans. Since five represents grace, when its multiplied by itself, it produces 25 which means “grace upon grace.”
John (the Baptist) bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace (John 1:15 – 16, KJV).
