"John's License Plate"

---

Hi John & All:

  There is an excellent article on the main page of this site, concerning John's discovery about a few years ago, on the number 3413, which bears a strikingly eerie resemblence to the 314 Shaddai number. What is really neat, as John has pointed out, was that 3413 was, for a time, his license plate number.

  Back on May 6th, 2005, I pointed out to John and the Doves that 3413 also happens to be the gematria value of a very significant scripture verse:

  ".... The King of the Jews .... " -- [ John 19: 19 ]
 

 O Basileuj twn Ioudaiwn
 
 

70 + 848 + 1150 + 1345 =  3413
 

 3413 =  ( 430 + 430 + 430 + 430 + 430 + 430 + 430 )+ ( 310 + 31 + 31 + 31 )What is further interesting to this number, is that its mirror image, 3143, shows the two number factors which make up the date of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ:

  3999 = ( 43 + 43 + 43 ) x 31 -- or also -- ( 31 + 31 + 31 ) x 43

  But here's the kicker. There is no doubt that many of these number sets are related, whether in terms of mirror imaging (i.e. 3413 vs. 3143), or a different anagram of a given gematria value, as I explained in my "LORD of The Stones" post, on May 20th, 2005, where I showed the relation between the value of the 118 number string stones triangle (7021), and the 73 number string Genesis triangle (2701).

  Well .... I said all this to make this point: It seems to me John's license plate was giving out more info than we originally thought. While I was doing my gematria studies earlier, I cam across the following scripture verse:

  " .... I am the light of the world .... " -- [ John 8: 12 ]

  Egw eimi to Fwj tou kosmou

  808 + 65 + 370 + 1500 + 770 + 800 = 4313

  Note: We went from "King of the Jews" (3413), to "I am the light of the world" (4313), two very significant titles, by merely flipping the first two integers.

  See ya in the air,

  Eric

Thanks, Eric! Pretty exciting gematria you came up with.
I have been working on the skeleton <grin> for a while until I hit pay dirt in a different direction altogether. My new article is relevant to what you wrote. Look out for it, in particular the number 43 and the Light. ;-)
I hope to post Part One in the next couple of days. Sigh ..... my old article, "Of God, Skeleton and the Bible" is still unfinished despite the 20 pages or so I have written so far. Sigh again .....
:)
