"Gospel of John Anomalies: 3"


Hi John & All:
 
This is a further continuation of my work on the anomalies found within John 1: 12, which itself bears witness to new life through Jesus Christ, as was mentioned yesterday.
 
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
...the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
 
- [ John 1: 12 ]

350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171 = 9434
 
Okay, let me start things off, by selecting the 2nd, 8th, 9th, 10th and 16th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 2323 -- [This pair of numbers represents the gematria value of the following scripture]
 
"Praise ye the LORD, Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD,
...that delighteth greatly in His commandments."
 
- [ Psalms 112: 1 ]
 
This salvation-through-Christ scripture, is buried eyeball deep with endless references to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For example, let's pick the 1st, 4th, 11th, 13th, 15th and 16th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3368 -- [The name Lord Jesus Christ is found an additional three times]
 
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kurioj Ihsouj Cristou -- (800; 888; 1680)
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kuriou Ihsou Cristou --- (1000; 688; 1680)
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kuriou Ihsouj Cristoj -- (1000; 888; 1480)
 
It also represents the following prophetic gematria, concerning Israel; the land; the Messiah:
 
"In that day shall the Branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious,
...and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them
...that are escaped of Israel."
 
- [ Isaiah 4: 2 ]
 
Speaking of the Messiah, here is yet another reference.
 
We'll highlight the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3640 -- [This gematria value shows yet more of His Titles]
 
".... Great God and Savior of us ...."
 
- [ Titus 2: 13 ]
 
We know that what makes God "God", is His ability to know the end from the beginning. So now let's choose the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 13th and 14th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3501 -- [This gematria has some of those familiar Titles of Jesus we all know]
 
"Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the
...beginning? I the LORD, the first, and the last; I am he."
 
- [ Isaiah 41: 4 ]
 
It is also the gematria value of the following verse, from the Book of Psalms --
 
"The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
...to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God."
 
- [ Psalms 14: 2 ]
 
Now let's not forget the Gospel of John, upon which this study is based. In fact, let's take the 1st, 2nd, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 1309 -- [You know it's a lie when you hear the words "there's no way" -- because of this verse]
 
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way and the truth and the life ..."
 
- [ John 14: 6 ]
 
Speaking again of our Lord Jesus: Take word values 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15 --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3005 -- [The gematria of yet another well-known Title for Him]
 
".... Lord of Lords ...."
 
- [ 1 Timothy 6: 15 ]
 
Continuing on with our "Titles" theme: Take word values 1, 2, 3, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 4014 -- [The gematria of the following scripture, concerning our Lord Jesus]
 
".... The Head of the creation of God .... "
 
- [ Revelation 3: 14 ]
 
Note that it is also a multiple of the eventual 40th anniversary date of the recapture of Jerusalem, which will take place in 2007.
 
Using the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th and 15th word values, we arrive at --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3068 -- [We discover the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, hidden twice more]
 
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kurion Ihsoun Cristou -- (650; 738; 1680)
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kuriou Ihsoun Criston -- (1000; 738; 1330)
 
Perhaps this will shed some light on things. Use word values 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 14 --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 3201 -- [Gematria for the phrase listed below]
 
".... Father of lights .... "
 
- [ James 1: 17 ]
 
As well, it also represents the gematria of this end-times New Testament verse --
 
"And it shall be in the last days says God ...."
 
- [ Acts 2: 17 ]
 
Additionally, it is the gematria value of an area in which we are told not to grow weary --
 
".... the souls of you ...."
 
- [ Hebrews 12: 4 ]
 
Now if you require further "enlightenment", select word values 3, 12 and 13 --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 2098 -- [Gematria for one of the descriptions of Jesus]
 
".... The true light ...."
 
- [ John 1: 9 ]
 
The name of our Lord Jesus Christ continues to appear over and over again throughout this verse. Just select word values 6, 14, 15 and 16 to see:
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 2753 -- [Two more hidden gematrias for our Lord Jesus Christ]
 
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kurie Ihsoun Cristoj -- (535; 738; 1680)
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kurie Ihsouj Criston -- (535; 888; 1330)
 
Of course there are other names by which He was referred.
 
Select the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 13th, 14th and 15th word values --
 
350 + + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 2289 -- [As He was referred to in prayer, by the newly born Church]
 
".... The Holy Child of You ...."
 
- [ Acts 4: 30 ]
 
Interestingly enough, the chapter and verse numbers together, are a 43 factor.
 
If you remember, Jesus described the last days as being like the days of Noah. So then, lets begin by selecting the 7th, 8th and 9th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 1656 -- [This one should be an obvious no-brainer]
 
This is the creation year in which the Flood began.
 
Now let us pick the 1st, 9th, 11th and 14th word values --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 1784 -- [Gematria for the Title by which He is most widely known in the New Testament]
 
".... Son of God ...."
 
- [ Hebrews 4: 14 ]
 
Of course, there are a number of prophetic names by which Jesus is referred to, in the Old Testament. Just select word values 2, 3, 9, 13 and 15 --
 
350 + + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 1097 -- [As foretold by the prophet Isaiah]
 
".... Wonderful Counsellor ...."
 
- [ Isaiah 9: 5 ]
 
It is interesting how the theme of this verse, namely salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, is also very much hidden within the structure of the verse itself. We see this through our selection of the following word values: 1 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15 --
 
350 + 9 + 158 + 821 + 884 + 981 + 796 + 376 + 484 + 283 + 580 + 1725 + 215 + 370 + 231 + 1171
 
= 2572 -- [Gematria for the following phrase, taken from the Epistle of John]
 
".... The life everlasting ...."
 
- [ 1 John 1: 2 ]
 
Interesting that this hidden theme is found in another book by the same author, itself bearing the very same numeric indicators [1; 1; 2] and in the same order, as the original verse (John 1: 12).
 
See ya in the air,
