Barry,

   Doug Corley suggested that I answer your post regarding the Great Pyramid and its symbolism of the Plan of God for the salvation of man. You mentioned first hearing of the prophetic significance of the Pyramid from Dr. Gene Scott. I have fond memories of my correspondence with him many years ago. Much of the information regarding the Great Pyramid he gave on his radio programs came from the books I had sent him and from corresondence with him. He had even asked me to be a guest on his program, but I was unable at the time to do so. But I do appreciate his using some of my research and getting it out to his large radio audience.

   You suggested to Doug Corley that he might like to share more of his studies on this website. So let me share some amazing things with you, and with all the doves.

   Doug came up with the awarenes that the total days of Jesus' earthly life was 12240, and that 12240 days equals 34 prophetic years. I found this to be exciting because it confirms our use of both solar time and prophetic time when dealing with the scriptures. And the Gematria use of these numbers is also exciting -- they both relate directly to Jesus. The number 1224 is 8 x 153, and we know that the number 153 is of course the number of fish in the net, which represents the faithful chosen bride of Christ, drawn in from the sea. Some of the uses of 1224 in the Gematria of the scriptures are:

 

1224 = Fishes (Greek)

1224 = The net (Greek)

1224 = "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, the mountain of His holines (Psalm 48:1)

1224 = God's creation (Greek)

 

34   = Redeemer (Hebrew)

340 = Branch (Hebrew) (Jesus is prophetically called The Branch)

340 = Lion (Hebrew) ( Jesus is also called the lion of the tribe of Judah)

340 = Shiloah (Isaiah 8:6) (Shilowh was Jesus)

 

The above are the numbers involved in the earthly lifetime of Jesus. But his ministry was 3.5 solar years, which is 1267 days. If we divide 1267 by 360 we get the number of prophetic years of his ministry -- and it becomes 3.52. This is a fantastic number relating to Jesus and his ministry. The number 352 is the Gematria for "The mouth of Jehovah has spoken" (Isaiah 40:5), and we know that Jesus is the "mouthpiece" of Jehovah, and is called The Word. On one occasion Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." The title that he gave himself -- The Way -- has a Gematria value of 352. The purpose for which he came to earth was to be an "offering" for the sin of Adam. The word "offering" in Hebrew has a Gematria value of 352; it is sometimes translated as "oblation."

    Now we know that the Gematria value for Lord Jesus Christ is 3168, and that the latitude of Bethlehem is 31.68 degrees north. But did you realize that the longitude of His birthplace is 35.2 degrees east longitude. These two numbers form a cross at the place of His birth.

   Remember, after Adam sinned, God killed a lamb and made "coats of skins" with which to clothe Adam. I'm sure that the process of getting the "coat" from the lamb produced blood, which represents the blood of Christ which was shed on behalf of Adam. How interesting that this word "coats" as is used here in Genesis has a Gematria value of 352. It definitely relates to Jesus, and the fact that Jesus is the covering for the sin of Adam. Remember, Adam had been naked -- but in his perfection he could stand naked before God because he was righteous, but when he lost his righteousness he needed a cover. Adam realized this, and tried to clothe himself, but it was not sufficient. God was showing a very important principle here. God gave Adam a "coat" of skin as his "robe of righteousness." And we know from the scriptures that the "robe of righteousness" represents Jesus who covers our inherited sins.

   But Jesus is more to us than just a covering of our sins. He is also a "light" and a "lamp" that leads us in The Way. It is fitting that the Greek word for "light" and "lamp" has a Gematria value of 352.

   Now is it just a coincidence that the latitude and longitude of the place of Jesus' birth forms a cross identified by the numbers 31.68 and 35.2? Obviously the term "coincidence" has no place here.It is part of a magnificent plan. And in that plan he is showing us that the number of years of Jesus' ministry was 3.52 prophetic years, or 1267 days. Thus his birth, his baptism and his death and their time relationships are clearly shown in the "Christ triangle" in the Great Pyramid, and if we extrapolate that angle, it will take us directly to Bethlehem.
