Though Easter has come and gone, I stumbled upon this great resurrection find re what happened on day eight, Easter morning. It clearly shows the design of God around certain numbers in different number systems ... again!
I wondered what the gematria value was of the first verse in the New Testament that contains the phrase, "He is risen".
That is Matthew 28:6 when an angel tells the women who have come to the tomb:
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
That verse has a total value of:
7159
Go here to verify that -Switch number systems from Gematria to Strong's numbers. Find out what Strong's Hebrew word # 7159 is, and the context of the verse it is found in.
It is only found in Ezekiel 37:6 & 8
"And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
That might be the most famous resurrection verse (chapter) in the entire Old Testament; Israel is raised from the dead, in the valley of the dry bones!
That is about as compelling a case for the divine design behind Strong's numbers as any; though by now, surely, you need no more evidence.
