John,
   Thank you for your very clear and understandable explanation of the
numbers of the stones of the breastplate. You made it simple and very clear,
even for those who say they don't understand numbers. Yes, the breastplate
definitely proclaims Jesus Christ.
   I was especially impressed with the two seemingly odd numbers that didn¹t
appear to fit the pattern, but they added to "repairer of the breach." A
title obviously referring to Jesus. Perhaps you might like the confirmation
of this which is found in Psalm 106:23 "His chosen one stood before him in
the breach." It has a gematria value of 888, which, of course, is the value
of Jesus in Greek. In this Psalm it is talking about Moses, but of course
Moses was a "type" of Jesus Christ.

Wow! Thanks, Bonnie. A few years back I was stumped by the number 577.
It was you who helped me solve the mystery of the two stones that didn't
appear to fit. Jesus (Greek gematria 888) is indeed "His chosen one stood before him in
the breach" (Hebrew gematria 888).
