Hi John & All:
 
While finishing up the series on John 1: 12, which hasn't by any means been exhausted, I was doing a bit of number crunching along some other lines. As I mentioned to John Tng, the thing about working with biblical numerics is that you first start out prospecting for silver, and while in the middle of that you find gold. Then you start working the gold mine, and in the process find platinum. Then you start work on the platinum mine and ... well the Doves get my point. The word of God is so deep, and because He is so boundless, the discoveries start popping up all around, and seem limitless.
 
But anyways,  time to move on with todays topics, namely the Shaddai factor, and the relationship that exists between Jesus and the Book of Revelation.
 
If you recall back at the beginning of June 2005, I did a study on the different spellings and the gematria values, for Lord Jesus Christ. I am including it once again for your perusal.

Notice the total gematria value for the different spellings, equals 11,799.
 
I would also like to show one particular spelling of it, including its gematria value --
 
Lord Jesus Christ -- Kurioj Ihsou Cristoj -- [ 800 + 688 + 1480 = 2968 ]
 
I would also like to point out that Revelation 22: 21 [which by the way, has 43 as its sum total], has a gematria value of 8971; and that the birth year of our Lord Jesus Christ is 3999.
 
So then, consider the following equilateral triangle, where the birth year of our Lord (3999) resides in its three corners, and the value of Revelation 22: 21 (8971), sits in the center.
 
 
 
The Jesus - Revelation Triangle
 
Adding the four components together, we make the following discovery --
 
8971 + 3999 + 3999 + 3999 = 20968 ===> [ 2968 = Lord Jesus Christ ]
 
Furthermore, if you simply add the corner values together --
 
3999 + 3999 + 3999 = 11,997  ===> [ 11,799 = Total Sum Value of Lord Jesus Christ ]
 
But there happens to be another facet to the birth year (3999), of our Lord Jesus Christ, which becomes evident in the following chart --
 
  

Lord Jesus Christ

39

99

 

EL Echad

(One God)

 

 

(The) Amen

 

Deuteronomy 6: 4

 

Revelation 3: 14

 

 

 

13 + 26

 

26 + 17 + 13 + 17 + 26

(or)

43 + 13 + 43
 
Birth Chart of Lord Jesus Christ
 
Here we see that when we break the birth year down into its two obvious components, the number 39 represents the gematria value for the Old Testament phrase: "EL Echad" or "One God". Its compostion is derived from 13 (Echad - "One"), and 26 (Jehovah God). The second half of the component, is the number 99, which represents the gematria of "(The) Amen", one of names given our Lord Jesus in the Book of Revelation. When broken down into its base components, we see a finely structured balance, (26 + 17 + 13 + 17 + 26), with the word value (13), for "Echad" (One), serving as the connecting point between the two fundamental values of "Jehovah God" (26 and 17), on the left and right.
 
Further, we see that "Echad" is also the central connecting point between the two 43 numbers, which combined as a sum, give the gematria value for "Elohim" (86), meaning the Trinity. But even more so, we see both a prominent display of the Shaddai signature (314) as found in the Revelation chapter and verse numbers, as well as the obvious gematria values implied by the two numbers (43 and 13).
 
Which leads me to my next point.
 
As pointed out in previous articles by John Tng, we have learned that 3413 represents the sum total of the different gematria values (Hebrew and Greek), for the name of Jesus. I have also pointed out that it and anagrams of it, represent the gematria totals of the following scriptures:
 
- The King of the Jews -- [ John 19: 19 ] = 3413
 
- I am the light of the world -- [ John 8: 12 ] = 4314
 
- Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
.....lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for
.....her children refused to be comforted for her children,
.....because they were not." ---- [ Jeremiah 31: 15 ] ===> 3143
 
Well I have made another discovery, which ties in with this gematria theme, which is also taken from the contributions of John via one of his epistles. We see this continual pointing to our Lord Jesus Christ, via the writings of John, in one form or another. Note the similarites with John 1: 1 (and Genesis 1: 1):
 
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
....which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked
....upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life."
 
- [ 1 John 1: 1 ]
 
Tou golou = 770 + 573 ===> 1343
 
See ya in the air,
