Readers - I post as many examples as I can about cross-number matches in the design of God's Word. One dramatic example from past articles is this: First mention of Jared (means "Descend", Strong's 3382h) is found in Genesis 5:15. This verse has a total gematria value of 2600. switching number systems, check Strong's 2600 greek, which is: Katabasis, The act of Descending, or the place of Descent. amen. perfect. *** Here is a new example following that same method - I felt like the Lord said to read Number 16:33. I had no idea what that verse was about - here it is: "They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation." If you read the whole chapter, and you have to to understand the story, then you know who "they" are. Korah, Dathan and Abiram. They rebelled against Moses, and thus the Lord. This story is unique in that the punishment for their rebellion was for they and their families to be swallowed by the earth and go down alive into Sheol (the Pit). watch: total verse gematria value for Numbers16:33 = 2879 switch number systems - http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?SearchBy_Strongs=2879&Lang=G Strong's 2879 greek = KORAH found once in Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core (KORAH)." **** too perfect. Jesus is Lord.
