The Numbers - III

Thusfar I have explained the meaning of individual numbers, yet within a combination of numbers, a sequence, the numbers become like words or symbols telling us a story. 

A reversal of this sequence can give us a reversal of the meaning, as I will discuss.

Deuteronomy 28 is a clear example of a message in numbers.

It contains one segment dedicated to the description of the blessings which will become part of Israel if the people obey YHWH's instructions (which are symbolically expressed in the 'ten' commandments).

Practicing the '10' (a '1' and a '0') was designed to lead to unity in YHWH ('1'), resulting in the blessings described in the 'one' section of Deuteronomy 28.

It also contains three segments dedicated to the description of three incremental phases of curses which become part of Israel if the nation succumbs to Evil.

The entire chapter of Deuteronomy 28 is divided in '2' opposite and mutually exclusive parts as an indication of our dualistic existence, which allows us to make the choice 'split off' from YHWH.

If Israel chooses to rebel, the first section describing the blessings is replaced by the three sections of the curses in this chapter, three incremental stages of birthing pangs of the Destruction, which is described as being exiled to the 'four' corners of the Earth.

Together these '3' increments embody the 'fullness of the manifestation' of the curses

So there are two messages encoded in numerical sequences in Deuteronomy 28: '1 - [2] - 3 - 4', and the reversal '4 - 3 - [2] - 1'.

I have put the '2' between brackets because it is a filter, Dualism, which makes it possible to choose, the transition from the unity in YHWH into the dualistic realm where Evil can manifest itself and produce a conflict in Creation.

The three phases of curses as mentioned in Exodus 28 are three incremental stages of separation from YHWH.

With each phase the rebel moves further away from YHWH, which means that under the dualistic system the character of Evil will manifest itself in a more pronounced way in the form of greater curses, more destruction.

The sequence '1 - [2] - 3 - 4' speaks of Sin activating the cycle of the curse culminating in Destruction.

The '2' is implied and stands for division, coming out of the perfect unity in the '1' by means of the choice to separate from the '1'.

The process of restoration is depicted in the reversal of this sequence: '4 - 3 - [2] - 1'.

This sequence stands for this simple message: if we repent, YHWH will restore us and move us out of the curses into the blessings, because we are forgiven so that the stumbling block of Sin which created the division no longer has the power to do so.

In the Bible book Revelation we find the same sequence of '1 - [2] - 3 - 4' which we encountered in Deuteronomy 28.

The Sin of the world ('2') activates the curses upon this world ('3' sections) culminating in the bowls of wrath (the fourth section) bringing about the destruction of Evil on this planet.

We find the mirror image of the blessings ('1') in Deuteronomy 28 in Yahshua in the book of Revelation opening the seals of the scroll.

Then follows the description of the three stages expressed in cycles of '7', the '7' seals, the '7' trumpets (or shofars), the '7' thunders which were to remain hidden their determined time had come.
'3' sevens to indicate the fullness of the complete ('7') cycles of the '3' increments of curses.
After these three sections you will read how the angel announces that the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Adonai and His Messiah.
This means the complete destruction of the kingdom of Evil on our planet, and the fourth section of the '7' bowls of wrath are part of the implementation of this Destruction ('4').

So, in the description of Yahshua ('1') opening the seals in the dualistic realm ['2'] so that the three increments of the curses ('3') are unleashed which result in the Destruction ('4') of the empire of Darkness on this planet, we find the numerical reality of Deuteronomy 28.

The thunders play a key role as the prelude to this destruction, and therefore the content of their words remained hidden.

YHWH knows what He should and should not reveal to the Fallen Ones, since they are very avid readers of the Bible and know how to weigh each single word and numbers behind words!

The Heavenly Jerusalem as described in Revelation has '4' equal sides (the '4 corners of the Earth') which convey the message of the reversal of the curse of Destruction by coming into '1' Jerusalem, the '1' representing unity in and through YHWH.

The gateway into this unity, the Heavenly Jerusalem, is represented by the twelve gates grouped in three, each block of '3'  facing one particular corner ('4') of the Earth.

As you can deduce for yourself, the four ('4') corners of the Earth restored in groups of three tribes ('3') facing one particular 'corner' ('4 x 3'), all of them serving to bring about a reunion into one Jerusalem ('1') is the depiction of the '4 - 3 - [2] - 1' sequence.

Furthermore, '12' is a '1' and a '2', and if you add them up you get '3', the complete description of a cycle with a beginning, middle and end, and the fullness of YHWH's manifestation to man in the form of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

'12' stands for YHWH's representation on Earth in the form of the nation Israel, the nation which He has set apart to become a 'light unto the world', yet as the '2' indicates, this nation has not been a perfect representation of YHWH because it has been divided by the principle of Dualism.

The numbers '7' and '8' are very important themes in the reality of YHWH's story.

The entire structure of the 'moadim', the 'appointed Feasts' as ordained by YHWH, rests upon the '7' and the '8'.

I will assume that you already have a working knowledge of the 'Feast' days as described in Leviticus 23, and their place on YHWH's calendar, but in case you don't here's a quick recap:

The Biblical day starts after sunset, so the third day starts after sunset on the second day.

Passover was to be held on the 14th day of the first month, and it is celebrated in the evening which goes into the 15th day of the month.

Thus, Passover goes straight into the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which begins on the 15th day of the first month, right after Passover, and lasts for 7 days.

During these seven days, the Feast of First Fruits was to be held on the 'morrow after the Shabbat', thus creating a link between the Shabbat cycle and the 'moadim' (appointed times) of the first month.

From the day of this First Fruits offering, seven full weeks were to be counted, 50 full days, until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat when the Feast of Shavuot would take place.

As you know by now, the '7' is YHWH's concept of completion for our cyclic realm, and the '8' is the number of a new beginning in eternity where the current dualistic phase no longer exists.

YHWH ordained '7' moadim: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkoth.

They are referred to as the Spring Feasts and the Fall Feasts, even though Shavuot stands a bit apart from the three integrated Spring Feasts.

Shavuot is linked to the 'Spring Feasts' by means of a cyclic countdown, namely '7' cycles of sevens, two sevens indicating the dualistic filter as well as its expression in the form of two houses of Israel, and these two merge into one Shavuot which occurs on the fiftieth day, the number '50' being the number of years set for the cycle of the Jubilee.

I hope you notice how I use the word 'cycle' over and over again, because it is overlooked in trying to understand prophecy, just read the posts I wrote concerning the subject of cyclic time (the 'timeline' articles).

The Feasts of the first month consist of three Feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits) into one period of seven days.

Three indicates the fullness of YHWH's manifestation to man as ONE Creator bringing man unity and restoration through the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh ('3') in a cycle of seven (completion of the dualistic cycle).

These seven days of these Feasts then are linked to the one day of Shavuot (which also is reckoned to the Spring Feasts but which really stands a bit apart as the link between the moadim of the first and the seventh month), so you have a '7' and a '1' which result in the '8' when you add them up, the '8' of a new Creation.

Considering the fact that Shavuot remembers how the ten commandments were given to Israel as well as how the believers in Yahshua were given the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh), the Feast stands for the restoration out of the dualistic phase into the new '1', the unity in YHWH in a new phase of Creation, thanks to YHWH's mercy ('5').

So, after counting 'seven sevens' from the day after the Shabbat in the week of the Spring Feasts, Shavuot begins on the day AFTER the seventh Shabbat.

This way Shavuot becomes like day '50' after counting the seven sevens, AND it becomes like an '8' after counting the 'seven sevens', AND it becomes like a day which follows after the week of the three preceding Spring Feasts like an eighth day.

What we have here is a structure of '7 + 1 = 8', and the '8' is inextricably intertwined with the '50'.

The '7 - 8' sequence is the completion ('7') of the dualistic phase, moving into the new phase of Creation with a new Heaven and a new Earth ('8'), where man is given a new Life, a new chance, the meaning of the number '50' where all debt is acquitted and the cumbersome aspects of the burdens of the dualistic Creation are erased, and man is given a fresh new start.

The One who leads man into this new phase and who shows man His kindness and mercy ('5') is YHWH, the '1'.

Traditional Judaism reckons the description of First Fruits in Leviticus 23 as 'day after the Shabbat' to be the day after the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because the first (and last) days of this Feast are days of rest, but from a spiritual-numerical point of view this is completely wrong!

That way, the '1' of perfect unity in YHWH goes into the division of Dualism, '2', the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and that makes no sense whatsoever.

This is another reason why I am certain that Karaite Jews are correct when they say that the 'day after the Shabbat' during the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread refers to the day after the weekly Shabbat in the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

This way the '7' of the weekly Shabbat is linked to the '1' of a new week which also is like an 'eighth' day after the completion of the week: the completion of the Earthly cycles as depicted in the seven days of the week is followed by a new beginning in eternity (the '8') which is characterized by the absence of the dualism we know because we will be one in YHWH ('1').

So, the Spring Feasts already point forward to the completion of the current phase of Creation and the new phase, and the key events playing a role in this process.

Before I continue with the moadim of the seventh month I will give you a quick recap (just in case you have forgotten).

The Feasts of the seventh month are: Yom Teruah on the first day of the seventh month, followed by Yom Kippur on the tenth day of the seventh month, followed by Sukkoth beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, during which the Israelites were required to live in booths for seven days.

Sukkoth (and YHWH's entire cycle of moadim) was concluded with an eighth day (which is mentioned separately in Leviticus 23).

The Fall Feasts too are completely centered around the '1 -7 - 8' sequence.

On the first ('1') day of the SEVENTH ('7') month the first Fall Feast begins, Yom Teruah.

This Feast in the seventh month is the 'kick-off' of the completion ('7').

The first of the month finds its mirror image in the TENTH of the month, which is a '1' and a '0,' and thereby refers to the unity in YHWH ('1').

The tenth of the seventh  month (the '1 - 7' connection) is Yom Kippur, the second of the Fall Feasts ('2'),'  where the High Priest Yahshua blots out the block which resulted from the dualistic filter ('2'), so that we can find unity in YHWH ('1').

The third ('3' stands for the fullness of manifestation) and last Feast of the seventh month is Sukkoth (the '3 - 7' connection which, -when added up-, result in '10', a reference to unity in YHWH, '1').

The description in Leviticus 23 makes it clear that in the seventh month the Feast is celebrated for seven days, '2' sevens to indicate the completion of the dualistic phase of Creation ('2'->'1').

It begins on the fifteenth day of the month, '5' being the number of YHWH's mercy extended to man, '5' and '1' referring to YHWH ('1') extending His mercy ('5') to man ('5 + 1') in his fallen condition, '6'.

After the seven days Leviticus 23 mentions the eighth day as a day of rest, thereby linking the '7' as it stands for the completion of the dualistic phase to the '8' of a new beginning in eternity.

So, it should be clear that the moadim are structured around the '1', the '7' and the '8', and that the sequence is made possible through the '5', YHWH's mercy towards man.

Who would be able to build these intricate multi-layered and multi-dimensional structures transcending the boundaries of cyclic time?

No one, except for our Heavenly Father, and that is why the Fallen Ones do not have the tiniest chance of succeeding in their plans.

YHWH built the cyclic structure of our reality upon numbers, and his Feast days tell a story of cycles, numbers, and how the reality unfolding from them relates to His plan.

The Fallen Ones know this, and that is why they try to undo the structure of His plan by re-routing the numbers to their desired outcome, so that their reality based on their numbers can replace the reality YHWH has in mind.

It is the principle of Dualism which makes it possible for the Fallen Ones to re-route YHWH's energy and turn it into the building block of their own reality of Evil.

This no longer will be possible when YHWH completes the '7' and takes us into the '8'.

The '8' stands for a new reality where the current paradigm of Dualism does no longer exists, and therefore Evil will not be present in that new reality.

This is why the filter of Dualism cannot be applied to either the '8' or the '9' in the form of a 'blue' and a 'red' arrow as I have shown in previous illustrations, since both numbers are the ultimate outcome of Dualism where Good is separated from Evil, and Evil will be isolated from YHWH's new reality.

The '9' is the number assigned to the fate of the Fallen Ones, the reality where Good will not manifest itself.

Evil will no longer exist in the reality of the '8', but it will be isolated in its own reality of the '9'.

In the illustration I have shown you in the previous part I have depicted the '9' as having two arrows, one blue and one red arrow, but the blue arrow is there to indicate YHWH's reality of the '9' vs. the red arrow standing for the interpretation of the Fallen Ones, who depict the '9' as the eternal Satanic paradise (which is a Lie).

The two arrows in that illustration do not stand for Dualism, since there is no Dualism in the '9' any longer. 

I have explained the meaning of the number '12' already previously.

A '12' consists of a '1' and a '2', and if you add them up you get '3'.

'3' in this context is the fullness of YHWH's manifestation to man as his Father, his Savior, and his Renewer.

The twelve tribes of Israel were designed to be the physical representatives of YHWH on Earth, and that is the reason why the '12' is like a representation of YHWH's manifestation on the level of Earth.

Yet Israel is not perfect, which is indicated by the '2' in '12'.

'12' incorporates the '1' of YHWH and the '2' of Dualism, yet taken together the number stands in function of the '3' as the fullness of YHWH's manifestation in the '1 + 2', Israel.

This is why YHWH's instructions to man were given to Israel, that is why Salvation for man was given to Israel, that is why the Renewer, the Holy Spirit, was given to Israel.

Through Israel YHWH gave the world His instructions and His Salvation.

YHWH calls everyone into Israel that He might save man and man might know His fullness, and that is why the Heavenly Jerusalem knows '12' gates, that is why Yahshua chose '12' disciples.

'40' is the '4' combined with the '0', or '4 x 10'.

The '0' is nothing and has no place in YHWH's numerical order, and the '4' stands for destruction.

'40' represents the state of Destruction on Earth, and in its most literal meaning it is like a numerical representation of Hell on Earth.

The word 'Hell' usually conjures up the image of flames and fire, but here it is more like the 'hell of the grave': a state where there is no joy, no happiness, no beauty.

'4 x 10' means the experience of this kind of destruction ('4') due to disobedience to YHWH's instructions ('10').

I am sure you are familiar with Israel walking for forty years in the desert, the sandy wasteland of Destruction, or Yahshua fasting for forty days in the wilderness.

Israel was given a chance to enter the promised land after wandering through the desert for twenty years, but due to the fact that they did not believe and were disobedient they had to walk in the desert for another 20 years.

'20' is '2 + 0', '2 x 10', the '2' being the number of Dualism.

Israel was given the chance to come out of their divided dualistic paradigm and enter the '1' of the promised land, yet because they lacked Faith they were unable to comply and compulsively built upon their Sin.

Because they built upon their internally divided state of existence, the Shadow-side of the Dualism coin, they had to wander around in the desert for another twenty years.

This is like two twos, '2 + 2 = 4', and in the desert the disobedient generation which did not have Faith because they were in captivity of their dualistic state of mind was indeed brought to the '4', Destruction, so that the new generation which DID believe ('1') could enter the promised land.

I have mentioned the number '50' already, '5 x 10'.

It represents an extension of the concept of mercy and acquittal of debt, a new beginning which unfortunately we do not know here in the Western part of the world, where people all too often are forced to carry the legacy of their past debts and mistakes into their graves.

'50' is the number of the Jubilee, a marker which allowed slaves to be set free, and property was returned back to the former owners.

YHWH's kind character, as represented by the '5', is extended in the '50' of the concept of a Jubilee, the manifestation of YHWH's mercy on the level of Earth.

Just as the '10' commandments were YHWH's instructions to bring us to unity in YHWH, the '1', and thus manifested the character of the '1' in the number '10', the '50' years of the Jubilee are the manifestation of the '5' on Earth.

The '50' carries the expression of YHWH's kind and merciful character on Earth in the form of the concept of the Jubilee every fifty years.

'70' is '7 x 10'.

It is derived from YHWH's concept of completion, '7'.

'70' is the manifestation of YHWH's concept of completion on Earth in the form of the cycle of the seventy.

Just think of the seventy weeks which were given as a prophecy to Daniel, seventy weeks which were determined to bring Israel to the '7' of completion, the era of restoration as a prelude to the '8'. 
The obedience to the '10' makes us part of YHWH's completion ('7 x 10 = 70').

I could mention every single multiple of the basic range of YHWH's numerical system ('1 - 10'), but I am sure you can figure out for yourselves what the meaning of the syntax is based on the meaning of the individual numbers.

All you have to do is to break them down into separate components.

Take for instance the number '144,000', a number mentioned in the book of Revelation.

'144,000 = 12 x 12 x 10 x 10 x 10'.

'2' twelves: two houses of Israel, the filter of Dualism which splits everything in two, now rejoining back into unity with YHWH through the 'tens'.

In this context it is the reversal of the filter of Dualism, coming out of the division into unity and not the other way round.

('3') tens: '10' as the numerical representation of YHWH's instructions which were given to help us back into unity with YHWH.

Three (tens) point to the fullness of manifestation, in this case following YHWH's instructions in Faith with a complete devotion so through the fullness of YHWH's manifestation to man as his Father, his Savior and his Renewer.

So, the tens are given to lead us back to unity with the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), unity in 'YHWH echad', and in the context of the formula represented in the number '144,000' the number stands for the restoration out of the Dualism of the divided kingdom of Israel to perfect unity in YHWH, and thus unity with each other.

When Yahshua was born on Earth, the Evil One had a perfect chance to reverse YHWH's numerical system and thereby its reality.

All the Adversary had to do is to manipulate Yahshua into choosing to accept his temptations.

If Yahshua had fallen, He no longer had been '1' with YHWH, but instead He would have gone through the '2' of Dualism, now knowing the Shadow-side of Dualism as an internal reality ruling over Him.

If the Shadow-side of Dualism would have internalized itself in Yahshua through the choice to accept the Adversary's temptation, then after the '2' the '3' as the introduction into the '4' would have followed for Yahshua.

It would have meant that the power of the number '3' in terms of the manifestation of YHWH's fullness to man would have been destroyed, and that the '1' could never be added to the '6' of man to lead him into the completion of Creation, '7', let alone that the '1' would be able to lead man into the new Creation of the '8'.

The reason is that the '1' would have been separated from the other numbers in the basic range of YHWH's numerical system, and that for all numbers after '1' the Evil side of Dualism would have manifested as a reality, the 'red' arrow after the numbers in the illustrations of the previous part of this discussion.

Yahshua's failure would have meant that YHWH's numerical system had failed, and that thereby the reality unfolding from the numbers and thereby YHWH's plan for Creation could never become a reality, because YHWH had shown Himself to be inferior to the Adversary in His failure.

It would have meant that the '1 - 7 - 8' sequence could never happen, since the '1' had been cut off from the other numbers, and the '2 - 7 - 9' would have replaced it, the '7' no longer being YHWH's idea of completion, but the Adversary's termination of YHWH's Creation in order to establish his own concept of reality, the '9'.

All the energy of the numbers would have been transferred to the numbers of the Adversary.
Yahshua was appointed to be the living embodiment of the '1 - 7 - 8' sequence, the gateway into the '8' of a new Creation, and if the Adversary would have been successful in setting Yahshua up to fall, Yahshua would have become the living embodiment of the '2 - 7 - 9' sequence.

Yahshua's birth presented the Adversary with the perfect opportunity to reverse YHWH's numerical system and establish a new Satanic reality for man AND angel.

Yet what did the Adversary do when Yahshua was born?

He tried to kill Him.

THAT alone is a sign that the Adversary must have a deep nagging realization that YHWH is superior.

Or else the Satan would have let Yahshua grow up so that during the hour of Darkness he might be able to persuade Yahshua to choose for Evil, and thus pull the switch of Dualism which enables the Dark Side to establish itself as a reality built by means of YHWH's energy.
But when it comes to YHWH, the Adversary suddenly becomes nervous and insecure.

If the Adversary had succeeded in killing Yahshua, he would have taken a Soul which did not belong to him, a Soul which he could not keep to leech its energy, so what could possibly have prompted the Satan to attempt taking Yahshua's Life other than the fact that he knew in his heart he would never be able to manipulate Yahshua into the choice to rebel against YHWH?

Yet, the Adversary failed in killing Yahshua as an infant, he failed seducing Yahshua into accepting Evil, and he failed when he killed Yahshua as an adult, because it brought victory to Yahshua over Sin and Death, and by taking Yahshua's Life the Adversary took what did not belong to Him so that the incoming Light in the realm of Death meant the Death of Darkness (the 'death of Death', the '4 + 4').

So, how great can the genius of the champion of the Fallen Ones be then?

What could have prompted the Adversary in his attempt to kill Yahshua when He was just a baby other than insecurity on his part?

And what prompts the Fallen Ones to follow the Adversary and make him their champion when he apparently has doubts about his ability to succeed, blunders in the face of YHWH, and fails to deliver the promised goods?

Man is weak and predictable, and an easy target in his fallen state.

For Fallen Angels to strive with man is like the seeing striving with the blind.

Bragging about winning from man and building your esteem on your victory is like the bragging of a professional athlete having won a marathon from an old, crippled man, and as such of no value whatsoever.

Yet when it comes to YHWH,  how often has the champion of the Fallen Ones been able to anticipate Him and prevent Him from carrying out His plan?

How often has this great champion been able to bring YHWH's plans to naught, how often has he triumphed?

Even in His lower state as a Man of Flesh and Blood, did not Yahshua defeat the champion, did He not counter every single word of the Adversary with a reply which silenced the opponents?

How is it that the Adversary ends up contributing to Yahshua's victory, as if YHWH was playing with your champion and his superiority complex, just as you toyed with man and exploit him? 

You boast on your ability to create a new order, but look at what happened to your previous experiments.

During the time of Noah you disrupted the order in such a dramatic way, filling the Earth with bloodshed and upsetting natural balances to such a degree that YHWH was forced to wipe the slate clean with a flood.
It was the work of a clueless amateur carrying out experiments without being able to realize the full extent and implications of what he is doing.

If that is any indication of the ability of your champion to create a new order, then if I were you I would take a close look at his track record and begin to ask myself a couple of serious questions about whether or not this belief in this champion is justified.

Perhaps that is a good question you who have fallen ought to consider?

Yes, you can triumph over man and slaughter as many as you like just for fun, so that you can see yourselves as superior by comparison, but when you triumph over man it does not show your strength or intellect, it just shows how weak, frail and limited man is.

It shows you understand his psychology and how you are able to manipulate man through his fallen state and your understanding of what makes man tick.

Your pride in your victory over man does not show anything other than your weakness and insecurity.

You can fight man and be victorious, but did YHWH not use the form of a Man to triumph over you?

Did He not beat you in the form of a Man of Flesh and Blood?
He became weak and showed you that even in the weakened form of Flesh and Blood He still still is able to triumph over you.
And remember, Yahshua was just one Man of Flesh and Blood against all of you 'Mighty Ones'.

Do you then still think your champion can take on YHWH and win?

Think, and wonder, because the time has come for the '7', and your time is running out.
If you can't prevent the '7', you can forget about your concept of the '9'.

If you bet your entire fortune on one horse, you better make sure it is a horse with the track record of a champion.

-------------------------------------------

I could write much more about YHWH's use of numbers, but I have provided you here with the basics.

Once you understand the basic dictionary you will be able to read the meaning behind the numbers as they are used in the Bible, including descriptions of measurements and rituals which often are skipped because they are not too exciting to read.

Nevertheless, they contain hidden messages in the numbers and a reality unfolding from the numbers.
