"Bezalel, Jesus & the 153 Number"


Readers -


in Exodus 31:2, God introduces the master craftsman of the Tabernacle: Bezaleel

"See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:"

I mentioned him in an earlier post: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2013/clay430.htm

I think Bezaleel is a "type" of Jesus as Creator (see Colossians 1).

1) Jesus and Bezaleel are both from the tribe of Judah.

2) Hebrew gematria of Bezaleel's name = 153. Jesus' fish catch from John 21:11 = 153 mega-fish.

3) Strong's numbers seem to indicate that Jesus and Bezaleel are tied together:

Bezaleel = 1212 hebrew

Jesus = 2424 greek

1212 x 2 = 2424

*****

Though this is not a Last Days topic per se, anything we can know about the Lord is good, and I think this is particularly noteworthy.

Jesus is Lord.
