Dear Doves,

The sum of the digits of the current Jewish year 5782 sum to 22 which is the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The reciprocal of 22 is 0.0454545... . If we apply the late Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag's Kabbalistic reduction procedure dividing the product of the digits 5782 by the sum of the digits we get 560/22 equals 25.454545... . Note that in both calculations we arrive at an infinite progression of 454545..., and 45 is the gematria value of the first man Adam. If the numbers are looked at in another way one might say that it is also an infinite progression of 54's, and 54 is the number of annual Torah portions. Also 45 plus 54 equals 99, more on that below.

Now turning our attention to the last verse in the Bible,  Revelation 22:21, at present I am fairly certain that chapter number 22 is code for 5782 as discussed above and the verse number 21 is code for 2021. And the Greek gematria value of the last word, amen, is 99, and 99 is encoded in the analysis of 5872 discussed above.

But there is yet more: Israel's 73rd year began on April 17/Iyar 5 and that was the day of Prince Philip's funeral. Now you are probably wondering what Prince Philip has to do with all this. Here, I believe, is the connection: he was 99 years old, he died on April 9th which was the 99th day of 2021, and I believe these 99's are calling our attention to the present year 2021. Also in Biblical numerology the number 9 has the meaning of lastness and finality, and 99 is double 9, emphasizing the meaning twice.
