1 | Numbers in Hebrew letters/words? | Judg 12:14 | MJH | 140406 | ||
Does anyone see any value in the “numbering” in the scripture? Or more specifically, with the numbers associated with the Hebrew letters? For example: The word “truth” in Hebrew is Aleph Mem Tav (First, middle, last letter of Hebrew). Aleph equals 1, Mem equals 40 and Tav equals 400. “I am the Aleph and the Tav; I am the Alpha and Omega” 40 is always associated in the Bible as a time of testing. 400 is the time the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. 1 is the Messiah. (this one is far to long to express completely here any further) Another I’ve heard lately is that the word covenant in Hebrew equals 612. That is 1 less than the 613 laws in the Torah. When the Messiah came, he completed the Torah by being the one law that was lacking. That being, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.” John 13:34 Not that the Torah was missing this law (see Lev. 19:18), but that it was not elevated to its proper place, at the top both in theology and actions. Ultimately Jesus was “love” in the flesh, and loved us so much to be the end (purpose) of the Law. Any way, I have never bought into the numbering game, but some things I’ve read recently are quite interesting at the least. Also, this was done even before the time of Jesus. (not that this adds credence.) Anyone study this more in depth, enough to answer? MJH |

Haing worked with numbers all my life I found if you carefully add, subtract, multiply or divide you can pretty much make them equal anything you want them to be. Remember the old calculator trick back in the 70's? It had to do with the middle east and Yom Kippur war. I think the question was who would win a war if you had 142 Israeli tanks and 154 Egyptian tanks fighting for 69 miles of desert for 5 day You would frist put in 142 then 154 and then 69 at this point you multiplied by 5 the result was 7107735 which if you turned the calculator upside down read shell oil.
