"EL Shaddai - Part 2"


Hi John & All:
 
  Thank you very much, John, for the note on the 43 times in which the High Priest sprinkles the blood, on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). As I am sure you also know, after Christ was crucified, there were 43 days which passed until his Rapture to Heaven (3 days in the tomb and 40 days seen alive). Did you also know that Isaac (180), who was God's blood oath promise to Abraham, lived 43 years longer than Ishmael (137)? Did you also know (of course you did), that the Gospel of John is the 43rd book in the Bible?
 
  But enough reminiscing.
 
  To expand just a little bit further on the EL Shaddai number of 314:
 
  To refresh some memories, the number 31 is the Hebrew gematria for EL (meaning God). But further along these lines, the number 13 (it's mirror image), also represents God, since it is the Hebrew gematria for the word Echad, meaning "one" (such as in the following Scripture):
 
  "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one."  [Deuteronomy 6: 4]
 
  
 
   ( The chart is from the Bible Wheel Site: http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Unity.asp )
 
  Echad (One): 4 + 8 + 1 = 13
 
  So both the number 31 and 13 (it's mirror image), mean "God".
 
  Also note that the above scripture verse has a Hebraic gematria value of 1118.
 
  1118 = [13 (One) ] x [43 + 43] ... ( Note: 43 + 43 = 86 the Hebraic gematria for "Elohim" - God).
 
  Now as a reminder, my November 1999 timeline has the birth of Jesus in 3999:
 
  3999 = [31 (God) + 31 (God) + 31 (God)] x 43
 
  So now consider this Greek gematria:
 
  " .... Jesus of Nazareth ... " -- [John 19: 19]
 
  Ihsouj + o + Nazwraioj = [888 + 70 + 1239] = 2197
 
  2197 = [13 (One) X 13 (One) X 13 (One)]
 
  Jesus of Nazareth is one God in the flesh. He and the Father are One:
 
  " .... the Father ... " [John 14: 9]
 
  o + pathr = [70 + 489] = 559
 
  559 = [13 (One) x 43]
 
  So let me finish up today with this Greek gematria:
 
  " .... I know that Messiah is coming ..." -- [John 4: 25]
 
  Messiaj + ercetai = [656 + 1021] = 1677
 
  1677 = [13 (One) + 13 (One) + 13 (One)] x 43
 
  Hmmm ... I just noticed today that all my New Testament scriptures are from the Gospel of John. Must be something to that book, I guess. (wink)
 
  See ya in the air,
 
  Eric

Thanks, Eric! The information on the number 43 is interesting. I knew the Gospel of John is the 43rd book. :)

The sum of these four numbers is also interesting: 8991 = 3999 + 2197 + 1118 + 1677.

The number 8991 is also the sum of 888 + 2701 + 2701 + 2701 (1-3 pattern again). The Greek gematria of JESUS is 888 and the gematric value of Genesis 1:1 is 2701.
