"RE: Bruce 'Why 153 Fish' or 'How I found the Secret Things of God'"

Bruce, here are few reason's why I believe there were exactly 153 fish in the net.
 

The Number 153 Leads to the ‘Prime Cube’

 

When the short side of a Golden Rectangle is 153 then the long side is: 248. 153 + 248 = 401. 401 is the gematria of the ‘Aleph’ and ‘Tav’ at the center of the seven Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1.

 

Since the combination of the measurement of 153 and the Golden Ratio leads to the center of Genesis 1:1, I made a list of prime numbers where the 153rd prime was the exact center value. When you include Unity with the prime numbers then this 153rd prime is 881. This list includes all 305 prime numbers that fall within the range of 1 to 2010. The prime factoring of 305 is: 5 x 61, so I made the list 5 columns wide and 61 rows high.

 

The sum of all integers from 1 to 17 is 153. This is called the 17th triangle number. The sum of the first 17 triangle numbers is 969 > Methuselah’s lifespan. Within the center 17 rows of the first three columns of this list I discovered a symmetrical cross where the sum of its four points is 1948 > the year of Israel’s rebirth. The four corners of the box that held this cross is 2010 > the range of the list. This box held 51 prime numbers: 3 columns with 17 rows in each (3 x 17 = 51). There are 51 placeholders within this list for these prime numbers, but there is also another 51 placeholders for these same prime numbers within this box. I called this the ‘Prime Cube’ because it is 3 columns wide by 17 rows high by 3 layers deep (the primes and their two sets of placeholders). Thus, we have 153 total values within this cube.

 

The first point of the ‘Prime Cross’ (113) is the 9th number within the ‘Prime Cube’ and the 31st number of the ‘Prime List’: 9 + 31 +113 = 153. The south point of the ‘Prime Cross’ (523) is the sum of the trinity reductions for the gematria of ‘JESUS’ (888 > 153) and ‘CHRIST (1480 > 370). The 153rd prime number (881) is the last point of the ‘Prime Cross’. The north point of the ‘Prime Cross’ is 431: 113 + 431 + 523 + 881 = 1948.

 

There are many secrets hidden within this ‘Prime List’. I have shared them with the Doves for several years now. The sum of the four corners of this ‘Prime List’ is 3834. The 3834th day of the current 30-year Islamic calendar cycle was 20 January 2001. This was the first Inauguration Day for President George Walker Bush. Remember the token of $2.34 received by Vincent Tan? President Bush's 234th day in office was 11 September 2001. 11 September of 2001 was the 1441st day of the current 19-year Jewish/Metonic calendar cycle. 1441 is also the 16th Star of David number. The 14th prime number of this ‘Prime List’ is 41. This is an absolutely unique relationship where the placeholder of the prime is the mirror image of the prime number. The sum of the first four prime numbers in row 14 of this list is the Greek gematria of ‘JESUS CHRIST’ (41 + 373 + 761 + 1193 = 2368). Note: four planes were hijacked on 11 September 2001.

 

Place a Golden Rectangle with a long side of 153 within a circle. Place a triangle within this same circle. The perimeter of this triangle is 467. 467 is the exact center value of the ‘Prime Cube’/’Prime Cross’. 467 is the sum of three different gematrias for ‘God’: 86 Hebrew + 99 prime + 282 ASCII. The decimal number 153 equals the hexadecimal number 99. 99 is the gematria of the very last word in the Bible: ‘AMEN’. The octal number 153 equals the decimal number 107 which is considered to be the rapture number. The hexadecimal number 153 equals the octal number 523. Again, the decimal number 523 is the sum of the trinity reductions for ‘JESUS’ (153) and ‘CHRIST’ (370). The hexadecimal number 153 also equals the decimal number 339. 339 equals: 3 x 113 > the first point of the ‘Prime Cross’. Do you see a circular pattern evolving?

 

Make 153 the diameter of a circle and place a Golden Rectangle, triangle and square within it. The sum of the lengths of the three different arcs opposite one side of the triangle, the golden rectangle short side and the golden rectangle long side is 401 (‘Aleph’ + ‘Tav’). The sum of the lengths of the two different arcs opposite one side of the square and the golden rectangle long side is 276 > the number saved in Paul’s shipwreck. 276 is the 23rd triangle number. The 23rd prime number is the first corner of the ‘Prime Cube’. This 23rd prime number is 79 and the 79th element is gold. Each atom of gold has 276 elementary particles: 79 protons + 118 neutrons + 79 electrons.

 

The perimeter of the square within a circle that has a diameter of 153 is 433. 433 is the 9th Star of David number. The 9th number within the ‘Prime Cube’ is the first point of the ‘Prime Cross’. 433 is also the second half of a twin-prime pair at the north point of the ‘Prime Cross’: 431 and 443. Their sum is 864 > the gematria of ‘JERUSALEM’ and also ‘SAINTS’.

 

Again, the 153rd prime number is 881 and this is the 43rd number within the ‘Prime Cube’. 43 + 153 + 881 = 1077 > the final gematria for ‘CROSS’ and 881 is the last point of the ‘Prime Cross’. George Walker Bush is officially the 43rd President of the United States, but Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and the 24th President. So, the next President will actually be the 43rd different President.

 

PS: Actually I found the range of the ‘Prime List’ through a combination of the cross section ratio of Noah’s Ark (3:5), ‘Twin-Primes’ and Gregorian ’Leap-Year’ exceptions, but who would ever believe that.
