Readers -

I've written about this before, but it still amazes and puzzles me. Namely, how the word Beautiful is tied to the Great Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture of the Living. it shows up several times, but now I think the Lord showed me a bit more about it.

there are two verses that use the word Strong's 339g, meaning to 'sit up'.

Acts 9:40
"But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up."

and

Luke 7:15
"And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And He (the Lord Jesus) delivered him to his mother."

Tabitha is from Joppa. Joppa means "beautiful, comely"

the son of the widow of Nain is raised and ...

Nain means "beauty."

Strong's 5000 greek = Tabitha
Strong's 5000 Hebrew = na'veh = "beautiful, comely, seemly"

Peter and John raise up the lame from birth beggar at the Gate Called "Beautiful" in Acts 3:2. I'm sure this is a type of the Resurrection.

since I consider Jared numbers to be key, i present the following:

this verse is the first mention of the Gate called Beautiful.

in-text value of Beautiful = 962.

    Jared lifespan = 962.

total gematria value of Acts 3:2 = 19128

    19128 = 24 x 797

Jared greek Strongs number = 2391

    2391 = 797 x 3

two matches.
