Dear
Tom, thanks! :)
Your
letter yesterday caused me to take a look at all the verses you mentioned
in Matthew 24 but I thought maybe it should run from 24:36 - 39 because
verse 36 marks the beginning of the paragraph. Here are the gematria values.
It would be useful if someone could double-check but I think they are right.
The values for each word, together with punctuation marks, are given at
the bottom of the page.
24:36 6985
24:37 3957
24:38 9822
24:39 5417
As
I was adding the word values I was astonied when
I got to verse 39! The sum of the first 8
words, from 'And' to 'and' is 2006
!!! (55 + 575 + 310 + 589 + 213 +
160 + 49, + 55). Remember God told Noah to make an ark, and to
bring with him his wife, and his sons
Shem, Ham, and
Japheth,
and their wives. 8 people all together,
exactly the number of words! Significantly, the word preceding this first
'And' in the passage is the last word of verse 38,
'ARK'! The first and
last word values of these 8
are 55, a double, double portion of 'GRACE'! And as Ellen pointed out, 55 is the Hebrew gematria of 'BRIDE'.
There
are 23 words in verse 39. I don't
know the reason but the number 23
keeps coming up time and time again when I've been looking at things to
do with the rapture. The number 23
is the highest prime factor of the Hebrew ELIJAH,
so there is one connection but I think there is something deeper and far
more significant than that to be found. 'ARK'
is the 29th word in verse
38 and didn't someone say this is the number of departure?
The value of 'ARK' is 111 or 37 x
3.
The
plus/minus (alternate addition and subtraction) of these 8 words is -752. This figure 752 is equal to 2 x
376 'SHALOM'
(Peace at last :) There is another Hebrew word with exactly the same spelling and therefore
gematria that means 'REWARD'. Matthew
5:12 (512 = 8 x 8 x 8) 'your reward in heaven' has an English gematria of
2368, the gematria of JESUS CHRIST in Greek. The prime factor sum of 752
is 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 47 that equals 55,
a double portion of 'GRACE'!
Having
had only a brief look at this I feel that concentration should be directed
towards verse 39 and in particular to the first 8
words. My guess is that John Tng will find 118
before long!
24:36 502 66 409
705 55 458 843 110 91, 110, 310 213 193 59 469, 502 740 310 840
24:37 502 101
213 805 66 115 600, 160 169 191 213 169 66 213 210 66 91 7
24:38 156 101 59 213 805 409 600 168
213 160 913 600 272 55 239, 987 55 482 59 243, 589 213 705 409 115 359 319 213 111
24:39 55 575 310 589 213 160 49, 55 340 253 61 1202; 160 169 191 213 169 66 213 210 66 91 7

Hi John
Further to my last email I found just as I was sitting on the bed ready
to go to sleep that the digit sum of the word values in Matthew 24:39 to
the semi-colon is 118 :).
That is for you! I'm not adding to my letter. Maybe you can add a comment.

You beat me to it, Ian!
