"'Therefore, as I live,' says the Lord God, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them,'" Ezekiel 5:11-12, NKJV. #ThirdParts
God often purges things that belong to Him, especially His people or created heavenly beings and bodies, in thirds; He uses third parts of armies for special warfare maneuvers, and sometimes, does the opposite of destroying a third of His people and will instead save them in thirds.
2 Kings 11:4-8, Zechariah 13:8-9 and Revelation 8:8-13.
