Hebrew Letters, Numbers, and Their Meaning (Revised)

I’ve been waiting for this post! Thanks…

I’ve been also going through the Book of Enoch; in addition, I’m waiting for some other material (”Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why” Bart D. Ehrman). Years ago I realized that there was such a division among men as to the meaning of the scriptures, and how some thought the Bible to be inerrant and others, not. I have a very good sense of the character and intent of people, could tell almost immediately when one was confabulating, could tell almost immediately when another was seeing self-glorification or personal enrichment (read: “fill my pockets with your money”). I realized that somewhere, in the past, what with thousands of years available, error had to creep in.

I wish we had texts from a time closer to Enoch’s time, for even that text seems to be no earlier than the middle of the 2nd century BCE, and that comes with the discovery of fragments in the 20th century. Why? Because there is no reason to believe that men have not been devious always; that other writers interjected their own fantasies into someone else’s writings (to what purpose? Selfish reasons?)

I haven’t read the entire text yet of 1Enoch but from what I’m gathering, it is a mixture of the writings contained in the Pentateuch with what appears to be earlier text; it gives me the sense that there is another story being told of Creation, tho in many ways appearing to be like the so-called “sacred writings” of other contemporary people (like the Egyptians); as if also borrowed from them, but of course, as if everyone had the same “understanding”.

I get from the book that “the Watchers” were the rebellious angels, who took themselves “daughters of men” and therefore, in our accepted versions of the Bible, clarify the meanings of “giants in those days” and the Nephilim, though all is incredible on the surface, which makes me suspicious of both their thoughts and intent. And I get the understanding that what we call sin is actually the responsibility of these Watchers who fell from “grace” (since I haven’t read yet the entire text, don’t hold me to this understanding). Thus “human beings” are tainted with the stain of the wicked, and need to be “cleansed”, “as if by fire”. Like anyone else, I can define wickedness when it comes out of a man in the acts of murder, rape, immorality, etc; but would Elah hold us responsible for this state if, according to Enoch, men were fine until the Watchers (”angels of Satan, “Azazel”?) introduced corruption by their union with the “daughters of men”.

(Which then lends credence to UFO enthusiasts who claim we are all “star seed” and that “aliens” are now and have been “altering” the DNA of humans for their own purposes, whatever that might be.)

But the ancient Hebrew alephbet, if one can be surer of their meanings, should cast a more accurate meaning to all the books, and our understanding, since the characters themselves are true, regardless of how and when they are used, no? Especially since these ancient texts seem to hide true meanings in the collection and order of the script. As you’ve pointed out, the very first line of Genesis actually has an esoteric meaning when one looks at both the numeric and written letter combinations.

What I’m saying is, rather than looking at the surface words being read by the natural mind (including any non-canonical books) we should be looking at the esoteric meaning of the combination and order of each symbolic letter and groups of them. Perhaps we’ll then get an accurate understanding of Elah’s and Elahim’s purpose, instead of continuing to generate false mythical stories.

Please correct my understanding if you like. And thanks for your efforts, I still look forward to them.

Flip it around. It is much easier to see how Enoch’s writings affected the writings of Moses than how the writings of Moses affected Enoch. Enoch adds detail to subjects that are glossed over by Moses. Why would he do that? Because Enoch’s writings were available to Moses, just as they were to the Apostles.

The actual writing of Enoch’s books cannot be proved by C14 dating. It is really an unwise denegation by the club of the scholars to declare on their supposed authority that the writings “could not have been authored before 200 BC.” There have been scribes throughout the history of the Hebrews whose job was to make sure that fresh copies were preserved.

The “logic” that says that Enoch’s writing are recent also could be applied to the Hebrew Scriptures as the oldest texts are only centuries old. The discovery of the Isaiah scroll among the Dead Sea Scrolls proved the accuracy of the current Hebrew texts. The scroll is also considered to be the oldest complete document of one book of the Hebrew Scriptures.

It is obvious then that what we see are not “original” documents, but copies of copies under the careful eye of professional scribes.

Furthermore, what you wrote about Egyptians and other post-flood cultures lends credibility to the influence of Enoch’s writings. After all, was he not the great-great-grandfather of Shem, Ham, and Japheth? And did not Ham and his sons establish Egypt?

Also, the “Canonization” of Scripture is another apostate work. To say that there were only 24 books of Hebrew Scripture is not consistent with history. According to one source there most likely were 94 books divided into “common books” and “those reserved for the wise and knowledgeable.”

Make public the twenty-four books that you wrote first and let the worthy and the unworthy read them. But keep the seventy that were written last in order to give them to the wise among your people. For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the river of knowledge. (a reference to Enoch) 4 Ezra 14:45-47

The meaning of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the placing of responsibility for all deception on the head of Azazel, which some, who are grossly mistaken, say is Jesus! Also the Feast of Weeks (also known as the Feast of Firstfruits) is a direct reference to the first seven weeks of Enoch’s vision.

Of course, if Enoch’s writings came first, then Moses (or those scribes attributing works to Moses) would have been influenced by Enoch — and the “mythical gods” of the entire world, who have a suspicious likeness to the Hebraic history, can also be included.

What we have here is (all things considered equal), the very same problem: who to believe? How so would Enoch’s writings, on that one hand, be credible, if not by casting aside any writing that comes against it? And on the other hand, other writings’ credibility compared to Enoch’s would have to face the same balanced point of view.

What great sigh in my heart is the weighty silence of Elah, which others say is because He is (or has) judged that we be mired in our own darkness. I am old; I could cast away all writings and seek His face in some quiet solitude, awaiting His voice (a voice in Truth); yet if I were younger, I would not wait upon him because of the trappings of this world.

Yet where do we hear that His Light is within? Or that His Kingdom is within? From writings; ancient and new. An ancient writing, the mind says, is thus “closer” to the truth, yet what that really means is that it is “closer to the beginning” than we are. Why do we believe Enoch? Because he was both the 7th from Adam and because he was translated? Two others were translated: Elijah and Jesus, though only Enoch and Elijah did not see death. What does that mean? Moses is considered to be “THE prophet”, yet he said God would raise another prophet “like” him, yet greater. Was that or was that not Jesus (Yeshua)?

I said once before, the more I know, the less I know. Inwardly, I can state that Jesus, like the pattern of the tabernacle in the wilderness, is a Pattern, or a similitude, himself. Moses did not live to cross the Jordan, which is a type of crossing over death. Jesus crossed over; or so we believe. If we do not believe that he was raised from the dead, then why should anyone believe anyone else will be? (And what good would it seem to us, men of flesh, if one arises from death robed in some spiritual covering? Why is it that what we see as solid, real, physical, be considered lower, and less to be desired, as it is?)

Aside from Jesus, and the the widow’s son whom Elijah brought back to life, who have we heard has been resurrected? (Say not, “those that Jesus brought back, like Lazarus”, because if Jesus did not himself be raised from the dead, then neither could those others have been raised. No?)

So everything returns to understanding according to texts that have been written, and believing that what is contained in those texts are true — or not! And the circle begins again, because the carnal mind insists that there must be some way of verifying whatever is true. If certain writings have been withheld (like the “seventy last written books”) who can state with any certainty they have found the truth?

My own understanding, once again, is inward. Based solely on a Bible which is full of error (the KJV worse than the NIV, but still…) I have to have some basis for understanding, we all do. You must make a strong case for the esoteric language no matter what text one uses. What I’ve read in Enoch is somewhat aligned with what I was hearing in my ears, that the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil; the garden itself; the kingdom of God, all that is within the man. Who did sin? The son, who was born blind, or his father? Neither did either of them sin; I believe that the consciousness of man (his mind) is being elevated to the consciousness of God (the Christ mind).

If there is to be any resurrection at all, the question must be ultimately asked “Who did sin? Who did not die (if death was the wage)?” If, while alive in these mortal bodies, one like yourself or another is truly blessed with whatever portion of the mind of Christ, perhaps such a one will be blessed with the responsibility of leading others, others who were so taken by the wickedness that they caused so much suffering to both good and bad. ALL must then be “Sons of God, the children of the Most High”; but there must come a time for saviors, under the pattern of the Begotten Son, to wed a virginal “woman” and bring more sons into true life.

I believe that the “Holy Spirit” is the Virgin; “she” is Spirit. The Flesh is ADAM (male and female). Thus, we must be born of both before that door to our inner kingdom is opened. That Kingdom is Light, which means “enlightenment”.

Bringing this back to the subject at hand: This understanding requires a form of mysticism like the Kabbalah: “to receive it.” Very few people have ever had mystical/spiritual experiences; therefore, it is impossible to explain it to them. But after a person has had the experience, not just once, but when it becomes the life of the person, then explanations stop and the person, the mystic, begins to teach what has been learned and what continues to be revealed daily in that person’s life. That person finds that the experience was not for him or her alone but for others who have not been so enlightened.

The population of the world is divided in two. There are the wise who understand and the others who don’t. Among the wise are those on the path who have not yet attained a measure of wisdom sufficient for them to be teachers. And there are a few who, “according to the wisdom given to them by Elah,” not only teach but must do so, because “the time has come.” So whether what they teach is believed or not, is not a factor or a measure of their success.

The wise can see what others cannot. And no amount of argument can prove the truth to those who do not have eyes that can see and ears that can hear. As my wife says, “Prove to me that you are not a camel.” I know that I am not a camel, but if someone doesn’t see that, then nothing I can do will convince them otherwise.

Therefore, each who desires to know truth must go through a process that ultimately ends in a mature and real mystic with full capacity to discern all things through spiritual power.

It is in the meaning of EL: a combination of the OX and the STAFF. This is a powerful being who reaches out with his shepherd’s staff to keep his sheep connected with him. It is the Elahim Connection. It is found, not in the thunder and lightening, or in a tornado, or in an earthquake, but only in the still, small voice. That is known as “The Revelation of Eliyahu (Elijah).”

It’s really amazing how quickly these things happen: I no sooner posted my comment than I got a book in the mail, “The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah” by Leonora Leet (which I ordered from eBay). A fast reading of the introduction and a few pages into Part I and my viewpoint changed.

Whenever I read texts (such as Enoch) — indeed, whenever I hear someone speak or act — I see/hear beyond or behind the words. This is a result of my learning experiences as opposed to any “mystic” training, which I’ve not had. So I automatically now tend to look at what I might call “spiritual” meanings. But it is my lack of education (I have no degrees)which hinders my instruction. I believe that for people like yourself, Dr. Leet, and Dr. Stephen E. Jones (of gods-kingdom.org), you have had opportunities that I did not or could not take advantage of.

Not that I consider myself less equal; my self education might rival others in more traditional schools, but I perceive holes as a result, holes that leads sometimes to erroneous conclusions. But my reliance on the discernment given to me has been proven over and over specifically because I recognize I have to try harder to fill those voids and avoid error.

What am I saying? That I don’t give as much weight to authors/scribes/writers of the past as much as I do to those of the present. There seems to be so much superstition abounding in those writings, and the people of this age believe superstitiously. But an informed, educated person who is able to view those texts NOT FROM A POV OF studying “ancient literature” (”oh, those ancient Hebrews, ha ha”), but from a point of view of studying that literature or writings from a SPIRITUAL standpoint, gets my attention.

So I imagine someone writing (Enoch or someone else) and I think “he’s writing from some superstitious background, a ‘flat earth’ mentality” etc. But you and Dr. Leet and others are writing from a more modern perspective, and this perspective, this pov, usually leads to a more secular understanding (”there is no god”); so it is refreshing to me to find a more spiritual understanding. Less superstition, with a higher conceptual understanding, thus this brings you and others like you to a higher level. And this brings the ancients UP to our level, rather than we to theirs — and perhaps displays to us how little we DO know!

If that makes any sense. In other words, you give credibility to what otherwise might have been overlooked by someone like me, who otherwise would have dismissed these “ancient” texts as so much hocus-pocus.

The division of the world’s people into “those who understand” and “those who don’t” is the same thing I also claim, though I say “those who are carnal-minded” and “those who aren’t”. The freedom to love my brothers (whichever place they stand) comes from He who has given rise in my mind to think He loves and does not hate; that what we call “salvation” is much deeper in meaning than “secular religionists” believe. I do not call myself a mystic, but just a few nights ago I had a powerful experience.

I’d been doing some research into the Ebionites (as you recall I mentioned to you via email) and came across someone who claimed to be “Jacob/James, the brother of Jesus” in a past life. Normally, this causes me to roll my eyes in disbelief, because typically there are many quacks out there who make such claims — and they are never “Joe, a security guard at Wal-Mart in my past life”…they are almost ALWAYS somebody very special.

But I understood this fellow, calling himself the brother of Jesus (whether he meant it literally or not, which he seemed to mean literally), because even as John the Baptist was “Elias (Elijah), if you can accept this”, I believe that these men DO live in a different realm, and why can’t they inhabit a body today? I don’t believe “angels” to be winged beings, but aren’t they, anyway? In a much more esoteric way? Angels are messengers; they appear as men. And this fellow IS the brother of Jesus — we all are, I think.

At any rate, there was quite a bit of information from this fellow. That night I suddenly began “praying” (that word has lost so much meaning!) in a powerful way, in a way I’d never experienced.

I had a dream immediately following: battling a serpent-figure, cutting its head off, having a devouring lion charge at me and squashing it like a bug, and then a voice saying “Look!”

And I looked, and I saw an ancient manuscript. It had above the text (which was in two columns) the numbers 2 and 6; both numbers were outlined in small boxes. It appeared as though the numbers might be two chapters of the manuscript. The voice then said “Sadoc 1! Sadoc 2!”

There’s more; no need to get into it all. But whether there was any meaning to the dream aside from what I sensed (as all dreams must be deciphered by the dreamer), I found myself sensing a literal divide in my mind; a sort of “platform” that separated my mind in two places, upper and lower. This is a visual sensation (which any neuro-biologist or similarly trained person will immediately nod knowingly, concerning the origins in the brain of these sensations — never mind the psychiatrist!) which I had. It has not left me yet; I have, in my mind, some sort of “ceiling” above my “lower mind” (carnal mind?) and there is “an expansion” above that. My mind senses some sort of vaporous transfer of thought both upward and downward, and occasionally this is in the form of Hebrew-style letters moving downward in a steady stream (like a ticker-tape).

Strange, eh? After “slaying” this mighty serpent (for it wasn’t a snake, but a “serpentine figure”), I went out into the darkness outside “my house” (the battle took place “inside my house”) and I tossed it toward a pit outside, one of those “outhouse” pits. The symbols are apparent, although I’m not too quick to label them with certainty. And although the letters moving downward from a place above my mind are not in English, what if they were! To another man, a Hebrew, a Jew, this would make sense; I can’t say I understand a dang thing! (I’m going to ask for memory of the letters, so that possibly I can decipher them.)

Anyway…thanks again. You can edit this comment any way you feel appropriate…

Back to the topic at hand, I do find it very credible that there had to be “ancient science” that probably even predates the Flood. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that as a result of the Flood, knowledge that we had (aside from any carried by Noah & Family) would have been lost.

“How-some-ever”, to quote a farmer friend, it is in the way the mind “sees” the events written from Adam to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry that causes problems. I think from your own studies of sacred geometry & the “tree of life” we can see that there is mostly “similitude” in the text we know as the bible. More correct, the story of any given event is already, and should be presumed to be, allegorical in nature. On the other hand, this is not to imply that certain events did not occur, but that they occurred, and were recorded, suggests deeper, spiritual meanings. We would be wise, when learning from those books, to remember that.

I think you know that already; otherwise, you would be recommending that we all grab a little blood and sprinkle it on an ear, a thumb, and a toe, in order to “understand spiritually”. Your posts are fascinating in that everything fits nicely. There is a sense of urgency, as if what you’ve learned via the Kabbalah and its esoteric meanings as they are applied to today’s age. I enjoy what you are teaching because these spiritual truths are being revealed (and not by you alone); however (and this of course may be my own fault) I fail to yet understand the ultimate message you are trying to convey.

Well, that’s not quite true (and this is in no way criticism, for we are not far apart after all); see, you are revealing sacred meanings of ancient knowledge: something is about to occur. We must learn to put away the superstitious, religious stuff that weighs us down and begin to understand what the heck is truly going to happen with us. Every human being with a conscience on this planet, every one that is not in such darkness that he would curse and spit in the face of God anyway, wants to know what all this means to both “types” of people.

Personally, I believe things from a far simpler position; I believe that the “Son of God” means you and me and Mabel down the road in the soup line and everybody in front of and behind her — ALL of humanity. I believe that we will be resurrected, but it’s impossible for me to say that it would happen in the same body as the one we lived in (for what of my great grandfather’s body, dust or bones that it is?); that’s why I believe that our consciousness (or mind, our personality, our soul, whatever one wants to call it) will be raised IN FACT as opposed to the way things are seen now in secular Christianity (which is, “we’ll see each other in the sweet bye and bye…Hi, grandma! Hi, Adam!”).

As to “wickedness in men”, how will we be judged? We are already judged worthy of death (our very “wages”, for “it is given unto men once to die, and then the judgment”). Would a Jeffrey Dahmer be sentenced again to death? I think not. Recall that the Potter makes both vessels, to serve both purposes, one for clean, sacred service, the other for not so clean things (think waste buckets) So is a lack of knowledge of “the right path” going to result in individual humans not receiving eternal life? How say you?

I think perhaps I’m just biting at the bit anticipating you telling us what all this means in plain language. Surely we must FAST understand who we are; if we are in the last few NATURAL years of the Age, and we’re still alive, well, that’s the problem. Let me ask you this: what do you see from your own understanding will happen if the moment was, say, tomorrow. Provide for me the line of demarcation between those who seek the “face” of God, and those who don’t, so that I may understand the critical importance of this knowledge as you see it.

Brother Timothy, believe me when I say, with all the love in my heart, that spiritual understanding IS to be desired, and has a most definite consequence to us and “the heavens” — the realms of spirits. Yet just as He blinded His people, He will illuminate them. Correct me if I’m wrong in your view, but I think what you are saying is this: that we should learn the sacred, ancient things in order to PROVIDE that illumination to the blind; so that we not BE “the blind, leading the blind” whereby we both fall into a pit.

And may I say, EXCELLENT audio work! Give us more!

I will try to respond to your statements a piece at a time. First, regarding what happened that required the flood — from a scientific and less spiritual perspective.

Adam started with an incredibly rich gene pool. Within him and his wife was such a rich selection of possibilities that it is hard for us to even imagine what might come. Then if you add to the mix, that the Watchers came and took human form and cohabited with women and produced the giants, “men of destruction” (from the Stone Edition of the Tanakh), we suddenly have the sons and daughters of Adam sharing the same physical space with cannibalistic giants - human-like creatures more than 300 feet tall. Furthermore, the animals, creeping things, and birds also had rich genes and produced many large and powerful creatures that also threatened life on earth. Given these conditions, what then was the purpose of the flood?

It was the great culling out of both humans and other creatures to produce people that wouldn’t kill each other off in a short time.

The first age before the flood was one of righteousness and understanding. The second age was full of wickedness and destruction that threatened all life on the planet.

So two things had to happen for the survival of the life on earth:
1) the destruction of life threatening wicked humans, human-like creatures, animals that fed upon other animals and people, and any other life threatening creature. From all that existed a righteous man and his family were spared along with a collection of clean and unclean animals that would not threaten life. The rest were killed or culled out.

2) The flood resulted from great stores of water in the stratosphere coming back down to the earth. This opened the way for gamma rays to infiltrate the troposphere and produce relatively high levels of radiocarbon that found its way into the DNA of all living creatures, hence shortening the lifespan from nearly 1,000 years down to 120 years. Abraham died an old man full of years when he was less than 200 years old!

We are now at a point in time when all life on earth is threatened again by wicked rulers and nations who want to remove and destroy all the righteous (from all nations) along with all of the chosen or elect (those who came from Jacob.)

You asked what would happen if the moment of the change was “tomorrow.” The answer is that the time will be the moment when we all wake up tomorrow and find out we are all dead. It will come down to that. “If those days were not cut short, there would be no life left on the earth!”

In order for the earth to return to the life-supporting state as originally intended, then there needs to be catastrophic change of such scope that the waters on earth would boil and return to the stratosphere in order to protect new life from harmful and life shortening radiocarbon. “Moon turn to blood, sun darkened, stars disappear or appear to fall from the sky.” This is the description of a great cosmic dust cloud entering our solar system and being sucked into the sun causing it to throw out tremendous heat waves reaching even to Mars causing waters there to come to the surface again.

Given this prophesied picture, where then is our hope? It is in the resurrection. And not only that when we are raised we either receive an immortal body as Jesus received, or we receive a brand new uncontaminated body without the debilitating effects of contamination. And more, we are raised to live in a world where the righteous are in charge, and the wicked rulers either give up their power or they face certain death to wait in their graves, along with the wicked who wanted to kill the righteous and elect, for the second resurrection.

So given this picture: What should we be doing and who should we be? Those who just party around and have a good time until this comes? Or those who realize the great importance of living the eternal life now so that we can obtain the better resurrection?

This information will be carried to my next blog on the Resurrection.

As to radiocarbon issues…many people don’t realize just how much danger our physical bodies are in when exposed to the effects of radioactive C14, which is a result of gamma rays. One could make a case for the reason behind our relatively short lifespan (when compared to the pre-flood people, if their lifespans are to be taken literally) as being exposure to sudden increased levels of radioactive c14. Even using relatively small atomic bombs releases huge amounts of gamma rays across a broad range, with long lasting effects, maybe even affecting us genetically.

(Now, with the depletion of the ozone layer, THAT could lead to the catastrophic scenarios you mention; just keep in mind that we believe in the absolute control by the Father over all of His creation. If ever in the past something similar occurred that caused the floodgates of heaven to open, one has to keep in mind that it was PURPOSED by Him. Then, one has to keep in mind that He either loves us or values the flesh a whole lot less than we, whom He created, do! And if reason says “Well, it’s not like you weren’t warned”, then I say, “He KILLS — BUT HE MAKES ALIVE, which turns back to my premise that reality is in the spirit, and what we call reality, is nothing more than a physical manifestation of that reality.)

However, when I mentioned the reliability of older texts, it is not C14 data that is used to establish the age of the documents. That would be futile, since there are no surviving manuscripts anyway from any distant age. The best we have are things that have been copied and recopied and copied again and again. Although scribes have been meticulous in their work, even the bible is fraught with errors. It takes what is called “textual criticism” to determine probable writing dates and authorship. This is, however, as inexact as C14 science, requiring extensive comparative analysis of surviving documents, language, its use, and cross-references between all contemporary historical texts to establish an age.

That said, that means to me that we cannot be sure of the authenticity of a writing attributed to anyone. Many people — including well meaning scribes — changed words and letters (inadvertently or intentionally) so nowhere do we have any authoritative manuscript that we can assess as something to be confident in. Add to that pseudographic and pseudonymous writings, writings where someone CLAIMED to be a “weightier” writer than themselves, and you can see the problems multiply.

However, to me, the very nature of mystical writings is open to just about anyone’s guess. Of modern Cabbalists, which can trace their best teachings to anything but oral tradition, which should be superior, assuming good memory? Be all that as it may, you and I are still correct in recognizing that somewhere, the Law of God is available to us. What can we do but weigh the evidence and decide? Morality is difficult to pin down; aside from believing one “sacred” text over another, the really best thing left to us is to examine ourselves, wouldn’t you agree?

Somewhere, sometime, we have to trust in what we believe; mankind, as a whole, recognizes some things without the need for a set of written rules, things like “do not murder”, “do not steal”. In our best thinking, the highest thought we can think is this: There is One God, and none else. He is Love, He is Light, He is Truth. To love Him and to love one another MUST be the WAY, when all else might come into question.

does the number 18 mean anything in Hebrew?

The number 18 is made of yod (10) and cheth (8). This would seem to tie your hand and your mind together, which would indicate that new thoughts, not yet manifested, will require the work of your hands before the ideas will come to fruition. It also means that the Creator has an abundance of undisclosed and not yet manifested plans that will require the work of Creation in the future. The word “hai” or “hay” formed from these letters is most often translated “life” and represents the “state of living” as opposed to the “state of death.” In other words, “only the living can design and create.” The dead, as the Scripture says, “know nothing” and therefore cannot produce anything.

I am learning Hebraic language and i wish to get some information, if it´s possible.
In Hebraic Language there is a letter (sin) (Number -21) letter, after Resh (Number - 20) and before (22) Shin. But in your paper, the Hebrew letters coming until 22 without letter “Sin”. Do you know what the principle of this diference.

Shin (21) and Sin (21) are the same letter with different pronunciations. The last letter is Tau(22), not Sin. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew “Alephbeth.” As noted above, the additional 5 “finals” bring the total to 27.

Thank you for your information, but i want to know why exist two different quantities letters (22 or 23). In one BIG book i found, Aleph-Taw (22 letters), but in another one i found a information with 23 letters (Aleph-Taw) with another letter (letter SIN).
Letter (Sin) 21 (This Letter not apear in some books)
Letter (shin) 22
Letter (Taw) 23

When the letter (sin) apear, the letter (Taw) are refered to be a 23 number and not a 22 number.

And in another place (ancient Hebrew language book) i saw the letter sin (21) refered such as Samekh.

Best Regards

Mr. Vasconcelos.

The best I can do for you is to direct you to page 18 of Jeff Benner’s book, The Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible. The shin/sin letter is a modern Hebrew invention, and the difference between the two is a Masoretic vowel marking (dot) on either the left(s) or right (sh) at the top of the shin. Samech/Sin are in many instances interchangeable in both modern and ancient Hebrew.

I have been obsessed with the number 7071 for years and can’t find anything to back up its relevance. Have you ever encountered the number and does it stand out to you at all?

As strange as it may sound, yes, I have had a similar experience but with a different number. But this happened not only to me but also to other members of my family, that is, with the same number.

But first, 7071. It is obviously a sequence: 70, 71. Because this page contains the Hebrew letters and their numbers, I guess we should stay with what is here. It is interesting that there could be only two letters used in this sequence Aleph = 1 and Ayin = 70. The double use of Ayin could be considered as emphasis on that letter and that the Aleph is supportive.

Ayin from the above study represents the EYE from which LIGHT can be seen by others. If you are a LIGHT person, others sensitive to that could see that in you. So from this we learn “That LIFE either physical or spiritual comes from the same process [creation]” or source.

The Scriptures show that LIFE comes from the Creator and LIFE was what was intended from the very beginning. The OX represents the strength of the Creator. In the Creator/Eyahuwah/Eyahushuah was “LIFE and the LIFE was the LIGHT of Mankind.” From John 1.

It would seem to me, if I can compare that with my own experience that the Creator is trying to encourage you to open your heart and mind to receive messages and instruction from His resources, that is from the LIFE, the LIGHT, and from the Spirit.

Interestingly, the LARGE ALEPH has the value of 1,000, but that is not mentioned above. The 7071 number written as (7 * 1000) + 70 + 1 is another combination. Here the Zayin is multiplied by the LARGE ALEPH putting much greater emphasis on the MIND of the Creator. The Zayin is a mattock or hand-plow, which shows that plowing is necessary before seed can be sown. The seed, of course, comes from the Creator and when it takes root, physical and spiritual creation commences.

This coincides with our position in this life. If we are called, then we should be plowed earth into which MUCH SEED can be sown that will produce LIFE and LIGHT that will continue forever. At least that is what I see in that number. This is a powerful number and is hope-filled. David prayed, “Create in me a clean heart and renew a right-spirit within me.”

The number that keeps appearing to my family is 1111, but its meaning I feel must be kept secret. As soon as I found an applicable meaning to this number, the frequency of its recurrence was reduced. The number kept appearing through different things, as though someone kept shoving our faces into it. Others within my family had the same thing happen to them with the same number without the knowledge that it had been happening to my wife and me.

Numbers could also be annoying tricks produced by our brain.

Left me know if the explanation offered above relates to your experience.

All the best.

Your explanation cuts deep across the grain in my deepest self. What you saw in the number are my biggest failures as a Child of God. I struggle constantly to read the Word, and to pray and communicate with God, and to follow his revealed will in my life. I truly do strive in the path of David, not to boast myself, but to point out the pattern of neglect of the Holy Conscience, the failures resulting from poor decisions, the low points in which I am forced to look at last to Him who has the power to restore, and the brief period of obeisance and learning until my feet stray once more. The worst of all is that my folly is never done in ignorance, and I have thrust wisdom from myself, though what you know spiritually never leaves you. “Men love the darkness,” and I wish I could say better of myself, but the mirror of truth is hardly flattering.

The number is trigonometric in nature, the first four numerals in the decimal representation of the sine and cosine of 45. The number three also appears frequently, although I understand that this is a universal phenomenon. I found it very interesting that you and your family have had similar experiences with recurring numbers, and what you said about the drop in revelation after you feel you determined a specific meaning assigned to the number 1111 fits with what I see as a common principal in my own life. It seems to me that when you accepted meaning for that number, you subconsciously began to look for its specific manifestation in reality, and your brain could possibly be passing over the number when it surfaces, automatically translating it into its assigned meaning. When you read a book, do you identify every letter, word, phrase, and sentence, or do you see, hear, and feel the story as it unfolds, often times looking back and wondering if you were reading at all? Or when driving, I know I have experienced, as well as others I have talked to, a lapse in memory, wondering how I had arrived at a certain location, not remembering having driven over certain sections of road. This ability to proceed subconsciously without much mental effort usually is what keeps us from seeing a specific word in a book or passage in the Bible we are trying to recall, or causes us to drive past an address we stop at on a regular basis. It is the same with many different things, and the idea is that when you search for something specific, and you are picturing that thing in your mind, you may very well see the thing dozens of times before you recognize it, and usually you can find everything but what you were really looking for. I call it the “Lego Theory” after the building block toys my brother and I used to play with as boys. I realized that if I wasn’t looking for something in particular, I was more apt to find it, although I rarely possessed the focus needed to trick my subconsciousness into thinking I was looking for something else, or nothing in particular at all. I don’t know the circumstances, but your statement seemed to bring that possibility to my attention.

I really appreciate your reply, and look forward to learning more from this site in the future. I definitely feel encouraged and your connections are certainly pointing in the same direction as my own previous convictions. I had a feeling that 7071 held some meaning for my life, and am delighted to see it from a spiritual perspective. I personally believe that something as eternal as a number has countless meanings and faces, like the truths found in scripture that cast a different shadow in every situation.

Wow! There are so many of us, who would have thought?

Yes, I agree that once you get to a certain level of knowledge, the urge to express it is so immense it feels like it it’s bad for your health if you hold it in.

The current global atmosphere is pregnant with an explosion of new understanding of the Torah. I am amazed at how science has finally found the names for it and the ways to observe these concepts. I find the Torah everywhere I look, being proven to me as a definite blueprint of creation.

To me it is like the Information Theory that runs our barcode. The Torah seems to be the most complete contraction of a universal system that runs the entire universe.

If only we can bridge create a rosetta stone between the physical sciences and the science of the Torah (I believe it is a science), we may be able to make it easier for people who do not have have the desire to pursue its mysteries to see it for it is. It is an incredible gift to mankind!

The noun “science” means “having knowledge” or, more simply, “the state of knowing.” The “scientific method” was only recently adopted (1854) by scholars to restrict knowledge to only that which can be “proven” through experimentation, and even more restrictive, only by those who have been approved to have knowledge. This, however, was not how the sages understood knowledge. Our fathers found that “knowing” could also come by revelation from a spiritual, or to most people, from unseen but very real sources, which acted both externally and internally through dreams, visions, direct spiritual contact with messengers, meditation, and spiritual guidance.

Science to them was divided into two types: higher and lower. Lower knowledge is acquired through art, research, study, discussions, and from opinions (the worst source of knowledge.) For example, polls do not establish facts but only what people think are facts. The fact that the masses could be mistaken is hard for some to comprehend.

But higher knowledge leads to greater and greater understanding of the True Reality. There are several articles in this blog that used higher knowledge to come to true science of past and present events. For example, the separation of the waters in Genesis 1 was the result of cosmic dust clouds entering our solar system causing the sun to consume massive quantities of the small particles and give off sufficient heat to cause the waters to boil and separate. Higher knowledge revealed that the event happened. Lower knowledge provided an explanation and evidence.

Another example of the combination of higher and lower knowledge is the reduction of physical life span and the prophesied restoration of long life. The waters above the earth provided a shield of sufficient density to reduce the speed of gamma rays to the level where they could not change nitrogen in the troposphere into radiocarbon or C14. Carbon provides the primary link in the DNA backbone. If some of that carbon is radiocarbon, then the DNA breaks down as a result of radiocarbon changing back to nitrogen. The DNA is no longer capable of exactly reproducing copies of the genetic material. This shortens life span and increases the speed at which we age.

Prophecies (higher knowledge/science) reveal that life span will be restored in the future, after the earth undergoes another event that restores the water in the upper atmosphere or stratosphere consequent to another cosmic dust cloud entering our solar system. This happens prior to the resurrection of those who died. Higher knowledge reveals that some will be raised and given immortal bodies, while others will be given new, clean bodies that will last for hundreds of years.

Modern science cannot explain or even understand how these conclusions can be derived. These are the product of a combination of higher and lower knowledge. Current scientific thought does not allow higher knowledge as part of the process of their science. Hence their ability “to know” is disabled, as some are beginning to recognize.

Any significance to the New Year numbers 5769 individually and total?

The meanings of the letters and numbers above will always return something that appears significant. When the esoteric meanings are used all Hebrew writing and speaking can appear prophetic regardless of what is actually spoken. Considering that then numbers do not make as much sense as Hebrew words. The words allow for parsing. The numbers alone do not, unless one can figure out what combination of letters are important to arrive at the number. I notice at the top of this editor that my comment is number 1271. This is 1000 + 200 + 70 + 1. This appears to be a prime number. 1000 in Hebrew is represented by a large Aleph. And the other numbers are above. But 1271 can also be parsed as 900 +100 + 60 + 50 + 40 + 30 + 20 + 70 + 1. So in my opinion it seems better to start with the Hebrew words, rather than numbers.

Dear Sir,
I am fascinated by your work in this field. I discovered your web pages while rather idly researching something for my latest novel. I’m a writer and journalist (if that is not a contradiction in terms) but I’m quite hooked by your web pages and intend to add Hebrew to my studies, something I’ve felt lacking in my learning for some years now.

I had actually been looking for the Hebrew verse concerning Cain killing Abel and wonder if you could tell me;
a) What is the closest English approximation to the words Cain, kills, and Abel. Present tense. Also what is the English approximation of the Hebraic “mercy seat”?
b) Could these various words be codified in the form of numbers and what might these be? I am thinking of the NT Apocalyptic designation of Caesar Nero (Kaisar Neron - in Koine) as 666. Q =100, s=60, r=200, N=50,r=200,W (omega)= 6, n=50. adding up to the infamous 666.
I am led to believe that there is an extra-Torah tradition, (would it be in the Mishna?) which specifies that Cain cut his brother’s throat.

As a youth, at university, reading philology, I had to study elements of Hebraic influences on languages generally and I seem to remember that scribes could check the accuracy of lines of text, and even individual words, by cross-checking against traditional numerical parallels. Thus if the wrong count occurred in, say the third line of a text in Exodus, an error in copying would be indicated.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

what does the number 519 mean?

what does 777 mean? Does it really mean salvation by the cross or does it mean something else entirely? Other texts have mentioned as a sacred number in various of cultures yet, in Christianity there is no specific meaning, but it seems to be the numebr of choice for a number of people. I would much obliged if you can enlighten me on this number, does it really mean the definition given? Thank you very much.

Can the parable of the boiling pot mean the beganing of the time time time and ahalf.
