Like most numbers in the Bible, "six" can have various meanings depending on context, but has a couple that are primary. When used in relation to time -- six days, six hours, six years, etc. -- six generally represents a state of labor, struggle and conflict, especially the conflict involved with spiritual growth. The six days of creation, for instance, represent the stages we go through in our lives, working toward the peaceful seventh day, in which our evil desires are removed from us and we can rest. In most other references, six represents all desires for good and all the true ideas that come from those desires for good -- or in the contrary sense, all evil and all the resulting false thinking.

Title: Sin: The Way In and the Way Out

Topic: First Coming

Summary: Scripture says that sin comes first into our desires, then into our thoughts, and finally, if we let it, into our actions. When it hits the level of action, everything changes. The way it leaves us is the same way it came: first from our actions, then from our thoughts, and finally from our desires.
