"100 in Crackers" by Caleb Kerr. Copyright 2013, by photographer. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

It's a landmark for a young child to count to 100; it sort of covers all the "ordinary" numbers. One hundred is obviously significant for other groupings: 100 cents is a dollar; 100 yards is a touchdown; 100 years is a century, and the landmark for a very long life. It makes sense, then, that in the Bible, 100 represents fullness or a state of completion, or in some instances simply "much." For instance, people marvel that Abraham had Isaac when he was 100 years old; the number represents the point at which the Lord, when growing up as Jesus, united the human elements of himself with the divine elements and in a sense became "complete.

19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;

20 to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
