"The Fullness of the Gentiles and the 153 Fish"
Readers -
this very famous verse:
Romans 11:25
"For
I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest
ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."
and this particular word:
Strongs' 4457h porosis
the
covering with a callus 2) obtrusiveness of mental discernment, dulled
perception 3) the mind of one has been blunted 3a) of stubbornness,
obduracy
which is translated "blindness".
and this very famous verse:
John 21:11
"Simon
Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many , yet was
not the net broken."
and this particular word:
Strong's 5118g
so
much 7, so great 5, so many 4, so long 2, as large 1, these many 1, so
many things 1; 21 1) of quantity: so great, so many 2) of time: so long
which is translated "so many".
these two words are the only two words in the Bible apparently that share this gematria value
2190
I feel that these two verses are addressing the same thing - the End of the Gentile Age.

Romans 11:25 refers to this as the "fulness of the Gentiles be come in"
John 21:11 refers to the miraculous catch and the miraculous 'holding' of the 153 (mega) Fish in the net that didn't break.
remember, as one brother years ago pointed out -
all Triangles numbers (153 is the 17th) added together through and including 153 =
969
this is Methuselah's Age when he dies, the year of Noah's Flood, Bible year 1656.
I'm
positive Methuselah (who lived longer than anyone else in the Bible
whose ages are recorded) is the End of his age and that the 153 fish
are our Last Days equivalent.
imho, the catch of the 153 Fish
out of the Sea represents the Rapture and the close of Gentile Age, and
the Blindness that Paul refers to is then lifted and off of Israel and
they become the main focus of the last unfolding of prophetic events,
culminating in the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ with His saints and
angels (Jude 1:14).
the common gematria ties the two verses together. since there are only two verses, that it seems logical.
also note at that link the first verse that has a total verse gematria fo 2190 is:
Genesis 7:18
"And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters."
