Hi John & All:
 
Here is a rather interesting discovery I made a few days ago, which creates an extension on the familiar Genesis 1: 1 and John 1: 1 triangular relationship. The Creator returns!
 
"In the beginning, God created the heaven and earth." - [Genesis 1: 1]
 
בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ
 
296 + 407 + 395 + 401 + 86 + 203 + 913 = 2701
 
[Number String:  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 .... + 70 + 71 + 72 + 73 = 2701]
 
 
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
 
- [ John 1: 1 ]
 
En archi hn o logoj kai o logoj hn proj ton Qeon
 
kai Qeoj hn o logoj
 
55 + 719 + 58 + 70 + 373 + 31 + 70 + 373 + 58 + 450 + 420 + 134
 
+ 31 + 284 + 58 + 70 + 373 = 3627
 
[Number String:  74 + 75 + 76 .... 110 + 111 + 112 = 3627]
 
 
"And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before
.Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof
.toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
.half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."
 
- [ Zecariah 14: 4 ]
 
וְעָמְדוּ רַגְלָיו בַּיּוֹם-הַהוּא עַל-הַר הַזֵּיתִים אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם, מִקֶּדֶם
 
וְנִבְקַע הַר הַזֵּיתִים מֵחֶצְיוֹ מִזְרָחָה וָיָמָּהגֵּיא גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹדוּמָשׁ חֲצִי הָהָר צָפוֹנָה
 
וְחֶצְיוֹ-נֶגְבָּה
 
184 + 586 + 140 + 100 + 501 + 472 + 205 + 100 + 17 + 58 + 249 + 126
 
+ 231 + 210 + 108 + 391 + 48 + 75 + 260 + 154 + 472 + 205 + 228
 
+ 60 + 120 = 5300
 
[Number String:  113 + 114 + 115 ... + 150 + 151 + 152 = 5300]
 
 
"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:
. and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the
. messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith
. the LORD of hosts."
 
- [ Malachi 3: 1 ]
 
 
 הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ מַלְאָכִי, וּפִנָּה-דֶרֶךְ לְפָנָיוּפִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל-הֵיכָלוֹ הָאָדוֹן אֲשֶׁר
 
אַתֶּם מְבַקְשִׁים, וּמַלְאַךְ הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁראַתֶּם חֲפֵצִים הִנֵּה-בָא--אָמַר
 
יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת
 
501 + 66 + 71 + 31 + 19 + 697 + 224 + 141 + 101 + 338 + 115
 
+ 241 + 3 + 60 + 228 + 942 + 617 + 97 + 492 + 441
 
+ 499 + 26 = 5950
 
[Number String: 153 + 154 + 155 .... + 185 + 186 + 187 = 5950]
 
By the way, and just as a note of interest .... this last verse, which foretells of the promise that the long sought after Messiah will return, has a gematria value (5950), equivalent to the year in which the Israeli Knesset made the "Jerusalem Proclammation" (1950).
 
See ya in the air,
 

Eric
