Chapter III

 

It was getting late.  They all agreed to stop for the night.  Some wanted to do some sightseeing in the morning, but everyone wanted to get back together the next day.  Stuart suggested 1:00 in the afternoon.  Everyone was agreeable to this.  However, they didn’t want to meet back at the theatre as rehearsals would be going on.  Virginia said that she saw a tapioca tea house around the corner.  And everyone thought that would be a great place to meet.  They all headed out into the night to their respective hotels.

 

Scene III

 

Dave was first to arrive at the tapioca tea house.  He picked out a table in the corner that could comfortably seat eight, even though there were only five of them, and plugged in his laptop.  Obadiah was next to arrive.  Obadiah stuck out from the others in the tea house, wearing a heavy plaid fitted shirt that draped over his tall thin frame and sporting a bushy black beard with no mustache.  Next to arrive were Virginia and Evelyn.  Dave and Obadiah had already picked up their bubble teas so Virginia and Evelyn ordered themselves what they wanted, Virginia having a lavender green tea while Evelyn ordering a mango milky blend.  Last to arrive was Stuart. 

 

Evelyn was first to speak.  “Guess what I found out?”  “What?” asked Stuart.  “I found out he went by “Barry Soetoro” when he was growing up.  I saw copies of his grade school records from Indonesia posted on the internet.  That was his name on the school records.” said Evelyn.  “Ok” said Stuart.  “And guess what?” asked Evelyn.  “What?” again asked Stuart.  “I pulled up one of those gematria converters and his name wasn’t a multiple of 13.  I then tried just the first name and then just the last name, and guess what?”  Evelyn did not leave time for anyone to answer.  “Those weren’t multiples of 13 either!  What do you think of that?”

 

Evelyn looked very pleased with herself just like she had just presented an excellent A+ oratory paper to her English Class.  The rest of the group did not look so impressed.  Virginia rolled her eyes because she had already heard it from Evelyn earlier.

 

“`What’s the matter?” asked Evelyn. 

 

“Look,” said Obadiah, “What are the odds that the leader of the free world who is in prime position to be the lawless one at this time in history, is the lawless one spoken of in the Bible?  Let’s just figure the odds that this person has his first given name, his middle given name, his father’s last given name, and his mother’s last given name ALL multiples of the devil’s number 13?  Heck, there have only been 43 different presidential terms before him.  There have only been 42 different presidents before him.  So, counting him as the 44th presidential term we have one chance in 13 times 13 times 13 times 13.  Hey, Dave, what does 13 to the fourth power calculate to?”

 

Dave, types on his computer.  “28,561”, replies Dave.

 

Obadiah continues, “Let’s say 28, 000.  One chance in 28,000.  With each president serving on average over 4 years anyway, that comes to.  Hey, Dave, what is 28,000 times 4?”

 

Dave types on his computer again.  “112,000”, says Dave.  Obadiah continues, “112,000 years.  That’s how many year it would take just by chance to get a president with a name with those odds.”

 

Responded Evelyn, “Like I asked, What’s the matter?”

 

“Okay”, said Dave.  “We are here to investigate truth wherever it leads us, so let’s look at what Evelyn has found.”  Dave pulled up the gematria converter he had been using patterned after the Hebrew and Greek where A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=20, L=30, M=40, N=50, O=60, P=70, Q=80, R=90, S=100, T=200, U=300, V=400, W=500, X=600, Y=700, Z=800, and plugged in the name:

Dave said, “Evelyn, you are right.  The name he went by in grade school in Indonesia is not divisible in any way by 13.”

 

Evelyn sat back in her chair, smiling triumphantly.

 

Stuart leaned forward in his chair and looked at the screen more intently.  “Will you look at that?” said Stuart.

 

Dave and Virginia almost said simultaneously, “Look at what?”

 

“Look at the number 3 divisor for the total,” said Stuart.  “Look how big it is!” said Stuart.

 

Dave said, “That’s because it appears….”  Dave looked at the screen more intently.  “That’s because the total for this name is divisible by the number 3, multiple times, till you get up to the number 729.  Let’s see that would be 6 times.  In other words, we have three raised to the power of 6.”

 

Dave continued, “Remember back when I pulled up the table that used the number 666 to derive using “wisdom and understanding” the number of the beast?  Remember how it took the prime number roots of 6, which are 2 and 3?  It then took each of these to the power of 6, just these two roots.  It was using the number 6, three times, but in different ways.  Well.”  Dave continued.  “That table showed the simplest derivation of the number of the beast as a function of 6.  We had each root of 6 raised to the 6th power.  So we had.”  Dave picked up a pen and wrote down on a notepad sitting on the table as he spoke, “2^6 + 3^6 = 793”. 

 

“Well, 6 can also be expressed as 3 + 3.  We just divide 6 in half.  And then we can likewise take these threes to the 6th power.  In other words, we have.”  Dave again started writing on the notepad as he spoke, “3^6 + 3^6 = 1458.”

 

They all looked at what Dave had written down on the paper. 

 

2^6 + 3^6 = 793

3^6 + 3^6 = 1458

 

The math was as simple as it was elegant.

 

Virginia spoke up, “Well, which is it?  Which one is the “wisdom and understand” number of the lawless one?  Is it 793 or is it 1458?”

 

Dave said, “Well, I can see arguments for both side.  They both are derived from using three 6’s.  So they both can be said to represent 666.  Guess the answer is, both.  There’s not much difference.  Guess that means there’s not much difference in the two names as well.  Using either name for the beast, guess it doesn’t matter. ”

 

Obadiah spoke up, “What is the difference?”

 

Dave asked, “What do you mean?”

 

Obadiah continued.  “What is the difference between 793 and 1458, I mean mathematically?  What is the difference when you subtract 1458 from 793?”

 

Dave started typing into Excel the formula “= 1458 – 793”.  “Okay, the difference is, six hundred and sixty five. 

 

“Missed being 666 by one,” said Stuart.

 

“Not necessarily,” said Dave.  

 

“What do you mean?” asked Stuart.

 

Dave continued, “I just took the difference in subtracting one from the other as if 793 represented zero.  Let me explain.  The Hebrew and Greek have no representation for zero.  It is said in fact that the actual concept of zero didn’t even exist until the 9th century AD.  It is said that it developed from the use of placeholders on the abacus.  But regardless, say I want to start counting at the first number of the beast and end at the second?  I wouldn’t start counting at zero for 793 and then one for 794.  I couldn’t.  I’d start counting at one for 793 and end up at 666 when I reached the 1458.  We now-a-days call that “inclusive” counting.  But it used to be that was how you counted.  If you counted from the first of the Hebrew year, Rosh Hashana to the tenth day, Yom Kippur, the most Holy day of the year, you would add 9 days to Rosh Hashana.  However, you would call this time not the 9 days of awe but the 10 days of awe. ”

 

“Amazing,” said Obadiah.  “Like a confirming way connecting these two numbers once again to 666, and each other.  Isn’t God’s providence remarkable to work that all out?”

 

“I would have never imagined,” said Evelyn.  “How, is it that the first two prime numbers when taken to the 6th power work out this way?”

 

“Good question,” said Dave.  “I don’t have a logical explanation.  I do know that six stands for satan.  There is a book called, “The Arithmetic of God” that goes into explaining it a lot better than anything else I’ve seen.  Let me search for it.  Okay, there it is:”

 

http://www.etpv.org/books/taog.pdf

 

“Okay, two stands for division or separation, three stands for resurrection, six stands for satan, his influence, and thirteen stands for sin, rebellion, or depravity.  And of course, thirteen is the sixth prime number.  We have 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, the sixth prime number.”

 

They all sat around, not saying anything for a while, just taking it all in.

 

“Hey, I’ve got one for you all,” said Stuart, breaking the silence.  “Give me any number, any number no matter how large, and I’ll tell you whether it is a multiple of 6.”

 

“Ok, show off!” said Evelyn.  “3742913” as she wrote it down on the notepad.

 

Stuart looked at the number for a while, obviously in thought, and announced, “No its not divisible by 6, but the next number 3742914 is.” 

 

Dave typed “3742914” into his computer, dividing it by 6 and announced, “Hey, he’s right.  Stu, how’d you do it?”

 

“Its simple when you know the trick,” answered Stuart.  “I just added all the digits together, 3+7+4+2+1+3, and came up with 29.  If that number was divisible by 6, then that large one was also.  Since I needed to add only one to it to make 30, which is divisible by 6, I knew that the next number also was divisible by 6.  Of course those same numbers are divisible by 3 but it’s not as impressive to guess if something’s divisible by 3, as you have a one in three shot of being right anyway.”

 

“Speaking of tricks, said Dave, “Did you know that if the number is divisible by three, any number that is divisible by three, that you can perform a mathematical operation on it so it converges to 153? “

 

“Go on,” said Obadiah.

 

“Just take the digits and cube them before you add them together.  Then take that result and repeat.  The number sooner or later will equal 153.  Once there it stays.  In other words we have 153 going to 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153.  I learned that from reading James Harrison’s “The Pattern & the Prophecy” book.  Let’s take 3742914 which we know is divisible by 3 since it is also divisible by 6.”

 

Dave pulled up another spreadsheet and verified that 3742914 indeed reduced to 153:

“Looks like it took ten iterations”, said Stuart.

 

“Yes,” said Dave.  “But there is a point in all of this.  We saw how the lawless one’s numbers were revealed by taking the first two prime numbers to the power of 6, both of them.  Well, the Righteous One, Jesus Christ’s number 153 is revealed by taking any number divisible by 3 to the power of 3.  We call 153 Jesus Christ’s number because it is recorded in the Bible in, well, let me look it up.”  With that, Dave pulled up a scripture finder and typed in “hundred and fifty and three” and found:   

 

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.  John 21:11

 

Dave continued, “Remember Jesus told Simon Peter and his brother, “fishers of men.”  And with that Dave typed in “fishers of men” and found:

 

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  Matthew 4:18-19

 

Dave then continued, “Remember also that the number 3 stands for Resurrection.  Think of satan who tried to usurp God’s position which was above all creation.  The number of satan is 6 which is twice that of Resurrection.  Here is a symbol lesson in having trying to usurp the role of 3 in being twice 3.  Here is 3 or taking to the third power, bringing one third of the numbers back to Jesus Christ, their creator.  He was not only creator of all the universe but all letters, words, (He is the word made flesh), and numbers.  Then there was satan, one of the cherubim angels in charge of one third of the angels.  And so satan led one third of the angels in revolt against the Almighty.” 

 

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.  Jude 1:6

 

“If you think about it, us Humans, the only created being recorded as being made in the image of God, were created to replace the fallen angels.  Except, we too fell, thanks in no small part to satan with Adam and Eve in the garden.  But a remnant will be saved and join God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and all the heavenly host that kept their first estate.”

 

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.  Jude 1:5

 

“So we would expect the lawless one to come from a long line of usurpers.  Now that we have identified “through wisdom and understanding” someone who matches up with the number of the lawless one with astronomical odds of 13 to the 4th power added as if layer upon layer with at least twice times 3 to the 6th power, I think we should search out how many other ways he fulfills scripture for being the lawless one.”

 

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.  Revelation 13:18

 

The rest of them, all of them, including Evelyn, nodded their heads in agreement.

 

“Hey look,” said Stuart, “In the scripture with the 666.  The key to having the wisdom and understanding is like in the scripture and verse numbers of 13:18.  There’s the number 13 where all those names were multiples.  And, then there’s the 18 which is 3 times 6 and the common factor in the two complete names is similar in 3 to the power of 6.  Just think of how many people looked at 666 and only see 6 to the power of 3 when we’ve seen how marvelously it works out to be 3 to the power of 6.  Wow.”

 

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.  Psalms 40:5
