Readers - There are three in-text gematria numbers for "antichrist": 1841 2041 1651 Some things about antichrist numbers are already known: like 2368 (Jesus Christ gematria) - 527 (Jared) = 1841 and 2368 - 327 (109 x 3, 109 = disaster) = 2041 but I had not seen anything on this number 717. 2368 - 1651 = 717. All I knew about 1651 was that it was the year that Lamech (Noah's father) died. re 717 Applying the temperature conversion number 273 (Kelvin to Celsius) yields: 717 - 273 = 444 444 = hebrew gematria for Damascus. This seems to put the AC and Damascus together. watch Strong's 717 hebrew = arah {aw-raw'} a primitive root; TWOT - 158; v AV - pluck 1, gather 1; 2 1) to pluck, gather 1a) (Qal) to pluck (grapes) That might put the AC, Damascus, and the "Plucking" together in the same place. The "Plucking" being, imho, the Catching Away, since that is what Strong's 7216h Harpazo means, to violently pluck something up. (1 Thess 4:17) You can see at this link http://www.biblewheel.com//GR/GR_Database.php?SearchBy_Strongs=717&Lang=H 717h only appears in two Books, two verses: Psalms and Song of Solomon. **** You can read about the 273 temperature conversion number in a recent post of mine here, if interested: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2013/clay28-2.htm Jesus is Lord.
