Hi there Will, thankyou for your most interesting posts, I appreciate your work. You probably already know this .. but I noticed with your highlighting of the gematria to H1456 = 848 which is 2 x 424. Notice G424: anerchomai = to ascend, go up. In the Rapture, there are 2 groups that ascend (2 x G424)
 
In my own reading of John 10, looking at the overview of the chapter, I find it interesting that the first half is really a contrast between Christ as the Good Shepherd and the antichrist as the false shepherd. Then, next we see Jesus attending the Feast of Dedication speaking about the eternal life and security which His sheep have.
This seems to show a chronology of first being shown the identifying attributes of Christ and antichrist, followed by a connection in the text of Hannukah with the security of those who are the Lord's sheep. Just my thoughts.
 
Come Lord Jesus Christ.
