Scripture tells us that God acknowledged Jesus as His Son: ...Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.Mark 1: 9-11.

The Son (H1121) of God (H430) came up (H5927) out of (H4480) the water, (H4325) and he saw (H7200) the Spirit (H7307) descending (H3381) upon (H5921) him. And there came (H935) a voice (H6963) from (H4480) heaven, (H8064) saying, (H559) Thou (H859) art my beloved (H157) Son (H1121) in whom (H834) I am well pleased. (H2654)
בּן אלהִים עלה מן מִים ראה רוּח ירד על בּוֹא קול מן שׁמִים אמר אתּה אהב בּן אשׁר חפץ
178 + 501 + 52 + 8 + 406 + 241 + 390 + 90 + 136 + 9 + 100 + 214 + 214 + 206 + 90 + 90 + 105 + 86 + 52 = 3168 = LORD JESUS CHRIST

These are just a few of many such additional examples of gematria values of sentences "translated" into Hebrew root words which came to me in a short period of time, and confirm everything that is written concerning Jesus. If anyone has interest in examining the many other gematria findings which have come to me, and decide for yourself if the method which I have used is valid, I would refer you to my website which is listed on my intial post of this thread.

4S-1. Arithmetic

The arithmetic process of interest to us is Summation of Aliquot Parts, the result of which shall be represented here by S (sigma). An aliquot part is a whole divisor of a whole number - e.g. 5 is an aliquot part of 10, as is unity. This calculation is no more susceptible to algebraic solution now than it ever was. Not only that but it is a one-way process; one can derive S from the parts but not the parts from S. A table showing what numbers, within a specified range, any given number is S of can be generated by taking S for the natural sequence of numbers within the specified range and by then sorting the results into S order. A process for which electronic computers were designed and made.

Pythagorean neophytes had to learn to perform this process by pure mentation, as an exercise. The Pythagorean Brotherhood was a guild of professional calculators who kept their algorithms secret by performing their duties without the aid of writing. Summing of aliquot parts gives rise to two species of natural number known as perfect and amicable. A perfect number is one which is equal to its own S. An amicable number is one of a pair of numbers each of which is equal to the S of the other. These are well known; the first perfect number is 6 because it is the sum of 1, 2 and 3. Six is called doubly-perfect because it is also the product of its parts. The next three perfect numbers in sequence are 28, 496 and 8128. Such numbers are very rare, the 18th taking 1937 digits to write in denary notation. Amicable pairs are equally rare, the first two being {220; 284} and {1210; 1184}.

4S-2. Gematria

The ancient Hellenic alphabet (with which the Christian Gospels were first written down) served two purposes. One, the obvious, was as a set of phonetic symbols for the recording of speech. The other was the recording of numbers. Numbers per se were usually distinguished from words by the placement of a line above or below (or both, as the Romans did with their numbers) the respective group of letters. The letters of the Hellenic alphabet, of which there were originally 27, were divided into 3 groups of 9. The first group was assigned the values 1 through 9 in units, the second 10 through 90 in tens and the third 100 through 900 in hundreds. By 400 B.C. the letters digamma (6), koppa (90) and sampi (900) had fallen out of use. Whatever letters added up to the number to be recorded were written down together in no particular order as this was not a place-value notation.

Although the correct Greek word for the system is isopsephia, it is more widely known as gematria, a word derived from the Greek geometria (geometry, literally land-measurement) and which modern philologists have traced to Hebrew cabalistic borrowing.

Table 4-1. Full Greek Alphabet Showing Numerical Values

It is hardly surprising that people would use this system to invent names possessing specific values of particular significance to them. Thus we find that both the architect and the mason of the Parthenon of Athens, Iktinos and Kallikrates, had masonic names.

IKTINOS (Iktinos) = 10 + 20 + 300 + 10 + 50 + 70 + 200 = 660 (= 3 × 4 × 5 × 11)

KALLIKRATHS (Kallikrates) = 20 + 1 + 30 + 30 + 10 + 20 + 100 + 1 + 300 + 8 + 200 = 720 (= 8 × 9 × 10 = 6!)

These numbers are not arbitrary but occur in the ancient systems of measure or are otherwise aeonian. For examples, 660 is the number of feet in a furlong and 720 is the factorial of 6.

The diameter of Earth across the 30th parallels is 7,920 English (long) miles and that number contains both 660 (Iktinos) and 720 (Kallikrates) as factors.

Let us look at a more familiar name:-

KURIOS IHSOUS CRISTOS (Kurios Iesous Khristos) = 3,168

“...you shall call him Jesus.” - Matthew (quoting an angel of the Lord speaking to Joseph)
“...you shall call him Jesus.” - Luke (quoting the archangel Gabriel speaking to Mary)

The title Kurios is commonly translated into English as Lord. It is, however, reserved solely for the Christ and Lord of the Universe is what it truly means. It is related to the Sanskrit word guru, meaning spiritual mentor. Khristos means Anointed.

4S-3. Geometry

“...I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the world.” - Apokalypse (Revelations) of John the Divine

The perimeter of a square whose sides are 7,920 miles long (i.e. the square around Earth) is:-

The diameter of Moon is 2,160 (= 6 × 6 × 6 × 10) English miles, and the length of the perimeter of the square around it is:-

PUFAGORAS (Pythagoras) = 864

Pythagoras was known as The Master of The Moon.

Figure 4-1. Earth and Moon Juxtaposed

Diameter of Earth (across the 30th parallels) = 7,920 miles.
Diameter of Moon (an almost perfect sphere) = 2,160 miles.
Combined diameters (the largest circle in the drawing, Earth-Moon) = 7,920 + 2,160 = 10,080 miles.
1 week = 10,080 minutes. We appear to have found seven days which in the world were made. (Read the preceding sentence very carefully.)

Let p (pi) = 22/7 (the first Egyptian approximation, more handy than precise and more sacred than practical). The circumference of the largest circle is then 10,080 × 22/7 = 31,680 miles = Length of perimeter of square around Earth.

The radius of the large circle is the same number of miles as there are concentric rings in the circular city-state of Plato's Republic; 5,040. It is also the product of all the natural numbers from 1 to 7, or ‘7 factorial’ (usually written 7!). As such it is seven times the value of the name Kallikrates.

4S-4. Myths and Legends

“Here is wisdom. Let the thinking man count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And the number is 666.” - Apokalypse (Revelations) of John the Divine

Table 4-2. Aliquot Parts of 3,168

Let us sum the aliquot parts of the number 3,168:-

Identification of the Christ with the ‘Beast of Revelations’ is generally considered supreme blasphemy by followers of the Christian religion. We are, however, still left with the plainly self-evident fact that the number of the beast can be extracted from the principal number of the Christ, whose personal name was chosen by God. Some may say it was “...put there by Satan the devil, to deceive us.”; just like dinosaur bones. However, the association which undeniably exists here is certainly not one of identification.

As indicated above, the arithmetic process (Summation of Aliquot Parts) whereby the number of the beast is seen in the number of the Christ is unidirectional. The only possible significance of this fact in the mythical world is that the Christ knows the beast and has power over it (contains it), but not vice versa.

We must not, however, allow mythical reality to sidetrack us from our quest for Truth. On the contrary, we must see these sacred myths for what they truly are - maps of reality wrapped and bound up in sacred imagery and taboos designed to ensure their survival through the ravages of eons of primitive superstitious existence. Designed moreover to be recognized at such time as new maps of the same reality emerge, in this case from the researches of natural philosophers.

4S-5. Ancient Science

IHSOUS (Jesus) = 888

H ZWH EIMI ("I am the Life") = 888

Each atom of Carbon-12 comprises 6 neutrons, 6 protons and 6 electrons.

Each atom of Oxygen-16 comprises 8 neutrons, 8 protons and 8 electrons.

The geometry of carbon-12 is such that its 4 valence points are distributed around each atom at the vertices of a tetrahedron. There are just two regular 2-dimensional maps of a tetrahedron; a triangle and a square with crossed diagonals:-

Figure 4-2. Regular 2D Maps of A Tetrahedron

The energy needed for every step we take is provided by the oxidation of carbon, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2). Oxygen molecules (O2) get ‘nailed’ to carbon ‘crosses’ on which they ‘die’ (i.e. the reaction releases energy) in order that we might live. This is the essential nature of life on Earth; a water-moderated macro-reaction between Earth's carbon- and oxygen-bodies. Oxygen is liberated from carbon by solar energy through the medium of chlorophyll, produced by green plants. In this manner the oxygen ‘rises from the dead’ and is ‘born again’.

Thus we can see John's riddle as a biochemical description of life on Earth.

Images of Earth from above

Bonnie Gaunt has written several books on gematria. She combines the numbers of the physical universe (measurements of the earth, sun, etc.) with the gematria of Bible verses/passages to show not only the Design of God in creation, but how that Design testifies to The Christ.

Just in case gematria is new to you, I'll briefly explain. All the letters of the Greek and Hebrew alphabets have numbers assigned to them (unlike English). Gematria is "working" those letter-numbers in words and phrases. The totals obtained are then compared to - whatever. So when it says in greek, "Kurios Iesous Xristos", the numbers of all the letters total 3168 [see below>. This number is immutable. Also immutable is the earth's distance from the sun (accepted average, 93 million miles). [one point before going on: in gematria, the zeroes can always be discarded because they are only placeholders>

(from p.40) ....even though the orbital path of the Earth around the Sun is an ellipse, mathematically and symbolically it can be treated as a circle. Let's try treating it as a circle and observe a fantastic design.
If it were a circle, the distance from Sun to Earth would be 93 million miles. Convert that to inches, dropping the zeros, and it would be 5892480. This is the distance that light travels from the Sun to our Earth. Divide this figure by the speed of light (again dropping the zeros), and the result will be 3,168-the number of the One who was said to be the "Light of the world."

(p.42).........He was born to a young teenage girl, in a cattle shed in the little village of Bethlehem. Why Bethlehhem: Why not the capitol city, Jerusalem? The answer is simple, yet amazing. Look on a globe, or a map of the Middle East and you will find that Bethlehem rests on the latitude of 31.68'N. The Lord Jesus Christ, whose number, 3168, is planted in the Universe, came to earth and was born precisely on his number-31.68'N latitude!

For those who have tried to find 31.68 for the latitude of Bethlehem, as I have on several maps, and come away disappointed, I have this to offer form the author. I wrote to Bonnie Gaunt to ask for clarification on this point because I was confronted by a reader who adamantly pointed out that 31.68 was NOT the latitude of Bethlehem and that I should be more careful with what I offer.

She wrote back saying, "Your question regarding the latitude of Bethlehem is not easy to answer. I first became aware of its latitude of 3168 from a professor of architecture who teaches at the Trontheim University in Trontheim, Norway. When I first saw it I felt he was in error. I checked it out on several maps and on a large globe, and always came up with different answers. So I wrote to the National Geographic department of cartography and asked them for the latitude of Bethlehem. Instead of answering my question, they sent me a photocopy of some tables from a book, with an explanation of how to compute the neces­sary latitude. When I did this, I came up with 31.68. However, I have since tried to check this out with National Geographic maps, and have found that the maps are not in agreement with this figure, nor are different maps in agreement with each other - some are close to this figure, and some are quite different. I find this absolutely amazing. How could different maps give a different figure for the latitude or longitude of any spot on earth? I would have thought such constants were precise. One day, about a year ago, I received a very angry phone call from a man in Oregon who accused me of fraudulent journalism because he had proof that 3168 was not the latitude of Bethlehem. I have not since tried to confirm this again with National Geographic department of cartography, but perhaps I shou1d."

But then I received an email that had three satellite images of the area. One explanation for the slight difference between Bethlehem and 31.68 is that over the last 2000 years, there has been a small shift in the earth's crust. this same explanation is used to account for the Great Pyramid being very slightly off True Polar north. I'm satisfied.
Every page of Bonnie Gaunt's books has God-confirming evidence like this. The above excerpt is from her book, "Beginnings the Sacred Design". This and all her other books can be ordered from her address: Bonnie Gaunt, 510 Golf Avenue, Jackson, Michigan 49203,USA (telephone 517-784-3605)
She "measures" lots of things, but mainly the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge. This book on beginnings is the best, though. She ties in God-numbers to everything including the atomic weight of hydrogen, E=mc2 and more. She also has settled, for me, the ambiguity of the Genesis account of creation by the ******Elohim******** How can it be plural? How can Jesus be God and not-God at the same time? And other often asked questions.

Can you do anything with numbers. In some contexts, yes. But the numbers of the letters in the Greek and Hebrew alphabets cannot be changed. Neither can the diameter of the earth be enlarged or reduced. Scholars have recognized that the number four is the number of the earth. To find out who the Lord of the earth is, multiply the earth-number, four, by the diameter of the earth, 7920(miles). For those of you who would like confirmation, try doing some gematria on your own sampling of Greek and Hebrew words, in or out of the Bible. You'll find that IN the Bible there are some amazing things hidden in the text. OUT of the Bible you'll find very little, if anything of significance.

To understand better Gematria better Bonnie Gaunt has wiritten about how it works. Interested in more numbers? Check out the Bible Numerics page, or the Number Table, which contains the most commonly used numbers and their significance. Also very interesting is the page on A Message Encoded in the Patriarch's Names.

The Cycle of Time Number 432

After rereading the above paragraphs, another idea struck me. A key number in the New Jerusalem Plan (or design) is 31680 miles. This is figured in two ways. Draw a box around the sphere of the Earth, which has a diameter of 7920 miles. The perimeter of the box is 4 x 7920 = 31680.

The second way is to calculate the circumference of the circle in the diagram (above) that passes through the 12 small circles, each of which is the diameter of the Moon, 2160 miles.

In this calculation approximate Pi or Pyramid Pi is used, which is 22/7. The radius of this "Moon" circle is figured by adding the radius of the Earth and the radius of the Moon: 3960 + 1080 = 5040. The circumference of the Moon circle is figured as:

(2 x 22/7) x 5040 = 31680

There is said to be a converting factor with the verses of Revelation 21. The stadia is said to be the same measure as the furlong of 660 feet. Twelve thousand stadia converts to 7920000 feet. The breadth, length, and height are equal, so the figure becomes 4 x 12000 stadia or 48000 x 660 = 31680000 feet.

Dropping the ending zeros, the basic figure is 4 x 12 = 48, and then, 48 x 66 = 3168.

The number 5040 was associated with Atlantis. It is also the product of the numbers 1 through 7:

1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 = 5040
