"The Descending: Connecting 1 Thessalonians & Genesis 11:5"



1Thessalonians 4:16
"For the Lord himself shall DESCEND from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

this famous verse has a total verse gematria of 13882

13882 = 2 x 11 x 631

631 is the base prime for 13882

plug 631 into the gematria slot of BibleWheel.com and you get a list of the first occurrence of the words in the Bible that have an in-text value of 631

note the first verse:

Genesis 11:5
"And the LORD CAME DOWN (Descended) to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."

Strong's 7200h is the 631 valued word, meaning to SEE

ra'ah {raw-aw'} a primitive root; TWOT - 2095; v AV - see 879, look 104, behold 83, shew 68, appear 66, consider ... etc

this is an exact match.

BOTH VERSES topically have to do with the Lord DESCENDING and they are both are tied to the number 631.

the Genesis verse has a word in it that has the value of 631, and the entire verse of 1 Thessalonians which has to do with the Lord Descending, has a TVG (total verse gematria) based on 631.

Jesus is Lord.
