Readers -

in reading Revelation 21:19, 20 the Foundation stones
of the city wall are named.

i looked at stone 8, which is Beryl and noticed the Strong's concordance
number

969g = Beryl

any student of Genesis 5 knows that number. Patriarch number 8,
Methuselah, lives the longest on any one in the Bible, 969 years old,
dying in 1656 the year of the Flood.

so, i surmised that the first 10 Patriarchs might align with the first
10 stones.

since i am particularly interested in Jared, Patriarch number 6, i
checked Stone 6 (Sardius) to see if a known Jared number appeared.

voila - as expected ...

Stone 7 = Strong's 4556g

    gematria = 435.

Jared lives 435 years after Enoch is taken in 987.
