666 - The Number of The Beast
There is no more controversial verse in the Bible than that concerning the number 666 in The Revelation of St John the Divine. Indeed, those that have understanding are challenged to calculate the number. Who among us can resist such a challenge?
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Rev 13:18
Many interpretations have been offered down through the centuries, mostly casting aspersions on individuals whose names have the misfortune of tallying to 666 according to diverse cipher codes. Many world leaders, theologians and politicians have been subjected to such scrutiny. The most credible concerns Nero, the Roman Emporor from 54 until his suicide in 68 AD and a notorious persecutor of the early Christians. The Greek “Neron Kaisar” transliterated into Hebrew yields 666, although his full name is more problematic: Imperator Nero Cladius Divi Claudius filius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - calculate that! It was noted much later that Ronald Wilson Reagan's name consisted of 6, 6 and 6 letters, and suspicions were enhanced when the hapless President purchased a house at 666 St Cloud Road in Bel-Air following his retirement. Wife Nancy had the perfect solution, however, by later changing the number to 668.
If it were all that simple, wisdom would be in no short supply. But I suspect a little more understanding is required in order to decipher the puzzle posed in Revelation. It's about a number, but it's important to remember that the numbers we are now familiar with (the Hindu Arabic counting system) weren't in widespread use until the middle of the sixteenth century. Prior to that, cultures had different numbering systems, usually assigning numerical values to letters of the alphabet. We are still somewhat familiar with Latin numerals, where the letters I, V, X, L, C, D and M were assigned the values 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 respectively. Incidentally, the first six Latin numerals sum to 666. Hebrew and Greek, the languages of the Bible, were unique in that every letter of those alphabets were assigned a numerical value. So not only each letter, but each word and each verse has a numerical value. Calculating these values is called gematria (Hebrew) or isopsephy (Greek). Interestingly, the only overt example of this form of notation within the Bible is in Rev 13:18. What has been translated as "six hundred threescore and six" is written in the original Greek as χξϚ which are the Greek letters chi, xi and stigma whose numerical values are 600, 60 and 6 respectively.
In spite of it's reputation, the number 666 is not intrinsically evil. Indeed it is the number of man: carbon-12 isotope is the basis of all life on earth and ha 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. In kabbalah, the number 666 represents the creation and perfection of the world. The world was created in 6 days, there are 6 cardinal directions (north, south, east, west, up, down), and the third letter of the Tetragrammaton has a value of six. In the Vilna Gaon's commentary on the Zohar, "the number 666 contains hidden within it exalted and lofty messianic potential."
A geometric representation of the Bible's first verse affirms the goodness of the number 666. Three 666 triangles sum to 1998 ("In the beginning, God created the heaven..."). 666 is the 36th triangular number, and 36 is the minimum number of righteous men in each generation necessary for the world to survive. Some commentators suggest that this legend traces back to Gen 18:26 when the LORD responded to Abraham's plea on behalf of the people of Sodom. Abraham's אולי יש חמשים צדיקם "Peradventure there be fifty righteous..." (Gen 18:24) has a gematria of 999, which is 666 when viewed from above.

There are two key verses expounding wisdom and understanding, and their combined gematria combines with the gematria of Israel to form a larger star. The result is six 666's surrounding the 541 Star of Israel.
The six 666's surrounding the Israel star sum to 3996. The first occurrence of 3996 in pi begins from position 2113:
The only word with a numerical value of 2113 in the Bible is φωστηρες ("lights") in Paul's letter to the Philippians:
"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Phi 2:15
Paul was quoting Deu 32:5, which spoke of a "crooked and perverse generation". Indeed, the Greek word here translated as "nation" is γενεα (genea) Strongs G1074. This is the only verse where G1074 is translated as "nation".
There is a connection to the beast number between Phi 2:15, and the verse to which it refers:
"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Phi 2:15
Paul was quoting Deu 32:5, which spoke of a "crooked and perverse generation". Indeed, the Greek word here translated as "nation" is γενεα (genea) Strongs G1074. This is the only verse where G1074 is translated as "nation".
- γενεα (genea) has a numerical value of 64
- γενεα is translated as "generation" 37 times in the Bible
- 64 x 37 = 2368
- the numerical value of Ιησους Χριστος ("Jesus Christ") is 2368
There is a connection to the beast number between Phi 2:15, and the verse to which it refers:
- Deu 32:5 is the 5,764th verse in the Bible (KJV)
- Phi 2:15 is the 29,407th verse in the Bible (KJV).
- 29,407 - 5,764 = 23,643
- 23,643 is a "hidden beast" number, as 23 + 643 = 666
The Hebrew word translated as "generation" in Deu 32:5 is דור (dowr), which has a gematria value of 210. The Israelites were in Egypt for 210 years, which is 3 x 70. Jacob (Israel) died in Egypt, and the Egyptians mourned for him 70 days (Gen 50:1-3).
According to Strongs G5547 the Greek spelling of "Christ" is Χριστος, but the first occurrence of "Christ" in the Bible is spelled χριστου.
The word "Christ" appears in 522 Bible verses (KJV), but the number of verses with the variant spelling χριστου depends on the source of the Greek text.
In the Bible, a generation is 70 years (Psa 90:10).
- 70 days = 1680 hours
According to Strongs G5547 the Greek spelling of "Christ" is Χριστος, but the first occurrence of "Christ" in the Bible is spelled χριστου.
- χριστου ("Christ") has a numerical value of 1680
The word "Christ" appears in 522 Bible verses (KJV), but the number of verses with the variant spelling χριστου depends on the source of the Greek text.
- in the Textus Receptus (from which the KJV was translated), the word χριστου appears in 256 verses
- the words "Jesus" and "Christ" appear together in 256 Bible verses (KJV)
- in the Robinson-Pierpont Majority Text, the word χριστου appears in 253 verses
- 253 is the 7th star number
In the Bible, a generation is 70 years (Psa 90:10).
210 is the 20th triangle, but is a number surrounded by stars:
|
210 in bases 9, 10 and 11 also proves revealing:
The first occurrence of 644 in pi begins from position 181:
- 181 + 210 + 253 = 644
The first occurrence of 644 in pi begins from position 181:
It's further worth noting that the first occurrence of 3996 (6 x 666) in pi is followed by the three digits 514 (see above). The 'Wisdom Star' consists of seven parts (6 x 666 + 541), which sum to 4537. The seventh occurrence of 514 in pi begins from position 4537:
- the totient of 514 = 256
- the words "Jesus" and "Christ" appear together in 256 Bible verses (KJV)
So how did such a sacred number become the province of the beast? In our first encounter with Satan, we are told that he (the serpent) is more subtle than any beast of the field. Satan is subtle, as the beguilement of 666 will attest. So subtle, that many are being deceived. The deception is obvious from the Hebrew word "serpent" (נחש), which has the same gematria value (358) as "Messiah" (משיח). The number 666 represents not a caricature of the devil, but a subtle and convincing imitation of Christ. A study of the number reveals the extent of the deception; it is a study of light and darkness and the messianic end time. Supported by gematria and the digits of pi, the message is a warning that sounds as a clarion call to us all.

Stan Tenen of the Meru Foundation has some pertinent thoughts on the connection between the transcendental number pi and the Bible in this short video excerpt:
As you will see, there is definitely a connection between the Bible and irrational numbers. Both are constants in our universe. Mathematics proves pi, and pi proves the Bible. Unless, of course, you think it's all a coincidence. That's a possibility, but just how much coincidence can that theory withstand?
In Rev 13:18, the coincidences begin early:
In the decimal digits of pi, the first occurrence of 2163 is followed by 1598. Then follows 193 and 195:
In Rev 13:18, the coincidences begin early:
- the first three words (ωδε η σοφια) have an isopsephia value of 1598
- the first four words (ωδε η σοφια εστιν) "Here is wisdom..." have an isopsephia value of 2163
In the decimal digits of pi, the first occurrence of 2163 is followed by 1598. Then follows 193 and 195:
The 193rd and 195th words in the Torah are הגדל (Strongs H1419 ) and היום (Strongs H3117). Taken together היום הגדל means "great day", as spoken of by the Zephaniah the Prophet:
"The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly." Zep 1:14
This verse has a gematria value of 2349.
The first occurrence of 2349 in pi is followed by the four digits 2292. This is the gematria value of another verse from Zephaniah, which encapsulates what the number of the beast is really all about: a warning against false prophets as the great day of the LORD draws near:
"The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly." Zep 1:14
This verse has a gematria value of 2349.
- (2 x 3 x 4 x 9) = (6 x 6 x 6)
The first occurrence of 2349 in pi is followed by the four digits 2292. This is the gematria value of another verse from Zephaniah, which encapsulates what the number of the beast is really all about: a warning against false prophets as the great day of the LORD draws near:
"Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law." Zep 3:4
נביאיה פחזים אנשי בגדות כהניה חללו קדש חמסו תורה
611 114 404 74 90 415 361 145 78 = 2292
נביאיה פחזים אנשי בגדות כהניה חללו קדש חמסו תורה
611 114 404 74 90 415 361 145 78 = 2292
The Number of A Man
The ambiguity between 666 (the beast) and the one he strives to imitate, 888 (Jesus) is clearly evident. In Rev 13:18 "...and his number is six hundred, threescore and six." (και ο αριθμος αυτου χξϚ) has an isopsephia value of 2368, as does Jesus Christ (Ιησους Χριστος). The first occurrence of 1318 (chapter and verse) in pi is followed by the four digits 1480, the isopsephia value of Christ (Χριστος).
- following 1480 are the two digits 92, then 7777
- the 92nd word in the Bible is אלהים (Elohim) in Gen 1:9
The instruction in Revelation is to count the number of the beast, where "count" (ψηφισατω) has the same isopsephia value (2519) as "...I am the root and the offspring of David..." (εγω ειμι η ριζα και το γενος του δαβιδ) spoken by Jesus in Rev 22:16. Jesus immediately followed with "...and the bright and morning star.", an appellation also applied to the Shining One (Lucifer), who is Satan. In Rev 9:1, John said "... and I saw a star fall from heaven", where "fall" (πεπτωκοτα) has the same value (1656) as "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning." (איך נפלת משמים הילל בן שחר) from Isa 14:12.
The number of the beast is the number of a man (Rev 13:18). In the original Greek, "man" (ανθρωπου transliterated anthropos) has an isopsephia value of 1510. In the decimal digits of the transcendental number pi, the four digits 9872 begin from position 1510.
"And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation." Mar 8:12
και αναστεναξας τωι πνευματι αυτου λεγει τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει αμην λεγω υμιν ει δοθησεται τηι γενεαι ταυτηι σημειον
31 869 1110 886 1171 53 310 8 64 709 383 425 99 838 500 15 607 318 74 1019 383 = 9872
Jesus said there would not be a sign unto this generation. The spoken words "Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily, I say unto you, There shall be no sign be given unto this generation" (τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει αμην λεγω υμιν ει δοθησεται τηι γενεαι ταυτηι σημειον) have an isopsephia value of 5752, as does John 2:4 which preceded Jesus' first miracle when he turned water into wine: "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come." Putting this connection in context, when Jesus' hour is come, there will be signs. And Jesus' hour has come! The Sun of righteousness shall arise, with healing in his wings. In the decimal digits of the transcendental number e, beginning from position 1510 (anthropos) are the four digits 4068.
και αναστεναξας τωι πνευματι αυτου λεγει τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει αμην λεγω υμιν ει δοθησεται τηι γενεαι ταυτηι σημειον
31 869 1110 886 1171 53 310 8 64 709 383 425 99 838 500 15 607 318 74 1019 383 = 9872
Jesus said there would not be a sign unto this generation. The spoken words "Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily, I say unto you, There shall be no sign be given unto this generation" (τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει αμην λεγω υμιν ει δοθησεται τηι γενεαι ταυτηι σημειον) have an isopsephia value of 5752, as does John 2:4 which preceded Jesus' first miracle when he turned water into wine: "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come." Putting this connection in context, when Jesus' hour is come, there will be signs. And Jesus' hour has come! The Sun of righteousness shall arise, with healing in his wings. In the decimal digits of the transcendental number e, beginning from position 1510 (anthropos) are the four digits 4068.
In his chapter describing the day of the LORD, the prophet Malachi spoke of the second coming of Jesus Christ:
"But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall." Mal 4:2
וזרחה לכם יראי שמי שמש צדקה ומרפא בכנפיה ויצאתם ופשתם כעגלי מרבק
342 133 826 547 167 327 199 640 350 221 90 226 = 4068
In Revelation, Jesus described himself as the Alpha and the Omega (the beginning and the end, the first and the last). The first occurrence of 1510 in e begins from position 413. The 413rd Hebrew word in the Bible is the untranslated את (aleph tav), the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

The 413rd Hebrew word in the Bible is the untranslated את (aleph tav), the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
In the Nestle-Aland textform of the Greek New Testament, Alpha and Omega is written άλφα ω, which has an isopsephia value of 1332 (2 x 666). The first occurrence of 1332 in pi is followed by 31 (the 31st word in the bible is האור "the light" in Gen 1:4), which is then followed by the three digits 666. This is the fifth occurrence of 666 in pi.
- 5 x 666 = 3330
- Moses received the Torah at Mount Sinai in the year 2448 on the Hebrew calendar
- 2448 + 3330 = 5778
The number 5778 is surrounded by the number of the beast. The prime number 5779 is the sum of the 666th prime and the 666th composite numbers.
It was once thought that every odd integer could be expressed by the formula p + 2a², where p is either one or prime, and a is any integer ≥ 0. But in 1856, mathematician Moritz Stern proved there were two exceptions: 5777 and 5993, now known as Stern numbers.
- 5779 = 4973 (666th prime) + 806 (666th composite)

- 5993 - 5777 = 216 = 6*6*6
The isopsephia of Jesus (Ιησους) is 888, which is 1101111000 in binary. The first occurrence of 1101111000 in pi begins from position 1,661,179,669.
- 1 + 661 + 179 + 669 = 1510 (anthropos)
The following four digits are 2196, which is the gematria value of a Psalm reminiscent of Malachi's Messianic prophecy:
"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psa 107:20
ישלח דברו וירפאם וימלט משחיתותם
1204 95 337 212 348 = 2196
Light And Darkness
The first occurrence of 666 in pi begins from position 2440. This is the isopsephia value of φωσφορος (day star, transliterated phosphoros) from 2 Pe 1:19.
2440 also happens to be the number of years from the destruction of the First Temple in 3338 to the year 5778 on the Hebrew calendar (2017-2018). The first occurrence of 2018 in pi begins from position 4068 (Mal 4:2 - the Sun of righteousness, see above).
Surprisingly, the first occurrences of 2440 in pi and 3338 in e are both followed by the same four digit number: 6566.
Surprisingly, the first occurrences of 2440 in pi and 3338 in e are both followed by the same four digit number: 6566.
These first occurrences of 2440 and 3338 begin from positions 510 and 1361 respectively
The number 6566 points to two bible verses, in both of which the LORD was wroth against Israel. The first of these is verse #6566 in the Bible:
"And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;" Jdg 20:2
Secondly, the LORD justified sending His people into Babylonian captivity in these words spoken to the prophet Ezekiel:
"Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth." Eze 8:12
ויאמר אלי הראית בן אדם אשר זקני בית ישראל עשים בחשך איש בחדרי משכיתו כי אמרים אין יהוה ראה אתנו עזב יהוה את הארץ
296 401 26 79 457 206 26 61 291 30 776 224 311 330 420 541 412 167 501 45 52 616 41 257 = 6566
Just as there is ambiguity between the "true light" (see John 1:9) and the counterfeit 666, so also between "light" and "darkness". The prophet Amos said "... the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light" (יום יהוה הוא חשך ולא אור) Amo 5:18, which has a gematria value of 666. In Gen 1:3 God created the light, and in Gen 1:4 separated the light from the darkness. "the light from the darkness" (האור ובין החשך) has a gematria value of 613; the number of commandments in the Torah, whilst the entire verse has a gematria value of 1776 (2 x 888). In pi, the first occurrence of 1776 is preceded by the five digits 20617 which finishes at position 888. Remarkably, verse number 20,617 in the Bible is the abovementioned Eze 8:12!
- 510 + 1361 = 1871, the isopsephia value of "crucify" (σταυροω) Strongs G4717

- beginning from position 888 in pi are the three digits 717
- the 717th word in the Bible is אלהים (Elohim) in Gen 2:22
The Apostle John left no doubt concerning darkness and light: "...God is light. and in him is no darkness at all." 1 Jn 1:5, which in the original Greek (θεος φως εστι και σκοτια εν αυτωι ουκ εστιν ουδεμια) has an isopsephia value of 6082. The first occurrence of 6082 in pi has extraordinary end time implications. This number is surrounded by the four digits 5778, which is then followed by 5771.
The seven year period from 5771 and 5778 could represent the seven years of tribulation here on Earth. But Jesus spoke of ten days of tribulation (Rev 2:10). The ten days between Rosh Hashanah (Trumpets) and the Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are known as the days of awe. These days of awe are the last chance for a person to return to God before one's fate is sealed on Yom Kippur. Between the two days of Rosh Hashanah (Tishrei 1-2) and Yom Kippur (Tishrei 10) are seven days. Interestingly, the great red dragon (Rev 12:3) and the beast out of the sea (Rev 13:1) each had seven heads and ten horns.
As can be seen in the above sequence of the digits of pi, 5771 and 5778 are separated by the four digits 3427 (...5771 3427 5778...). Incredibly, verse number 3427 in the Bible proclaims the feast day of Rosh Hashanah, on the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei): "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation." Lev 23:24, verse # 3427 |
More curiously still, the proclamation of the Feast of Yom Kippur is in verse number 3430 in the Bible, and the first occurrence of this number begins from position 666 in pi!
"Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD." Lev 23:27, verse #3430
Come, See A Man
The first occurrence of 666 in pi is preceded by 9954 (the isopsephia value of Mat 13:14). In this verse, Jesus was referring to the prophecy of Isaiah (Isa 6:9-10), in the 17,779 and 17,780th verses in the Bible. The first occurrence of 17780 in pi is followed by the four digits 8284, which is the gematria value of the "beast vision" of Daniel, in which he describes the Roman world-empire:
"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns." Dan 7:7

Following this appearance of 888 are the four digits 7070. This is the isopsephia of a verse from the Olivet Discourse, in which Jesus warns about false Christs and false prophets who shall arise during the Great Tribulation:
"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." Mat 24:23
τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπηι ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε μη πιστευσητε
675 56 510 500 113 484 809 70 1480 8 809 48 1508 = 7070
Rev 13:18 begins with "Here is wisdom...", but the imperative to calculate the number of the beast comes with a rider, courtesy of 1 Co 3:19, where "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." (η γαρ σοφια του κοσμου τουτου μωρια παρα τωι θεωι) has an isopsephia value of 7070. Beginning from position 7070 in e are the four digits 7278 (John 4:29 - Come, see a man..., see above)
"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." Mat 24:23

In The Beginning
The word "wisdom" is mentioned 234 times in the Bible (KJV), which is the product of chapter and verse from Rev 13:18. The first mention of "wisdom" occurs in Exo 10:23, where "the spirit of wisdom" (רוח חכמה) has a gematria value of 287. The first occurrence of 287 in pi begins from position 911. This is the gematria value of the Hebrew word ראשית ("beginning"), which is seen in the very first word in the Bible.
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ
the earth and the heaven (untranslated) God created In the beginning
the earth and the heaven (untranslated) God created In the beginning
There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet ( א ב ג ד ה ו ז ח ט י כ ל מ נ ס ע פ צ ק ר ש ת), but five of these letters (kaf, mem, nun, pey and tzaddi) have final forms (ך ם ן ף ץ). So technically there are 27 letters. The final tzaddi is the 27th and last letter of the alphabet, and also the last letter of the Bible's first verse. Gen 1:1 has 28 letters: 27 letters followed by the 27th letter. Stan Tenen of the Meru Foundation offers a better explanation in this short video excerpt:
Within the decimal digits of pi, the first occurrence of 27 begins from position 28:
The first 27 letters in the Bible have a gematria value of 2611, which in binary is 101000110011. Beginning from position 101,000,110,011 in pi are the three digits 666.
- 27 = 3³, and there are 27 Hebrew words in the Bible's first 3 verses
- the 27th word in the Bible is "light" (God said, Let there be light. And there was light.)
- in the next verse (Gen 1:4) God separated the light from the darkness
- the Hebrew word for "Satan" is שטן (Strongs H7854) H7854 is translated 27 times in the Bible (KJV)
The gematria value of Gen 1:1 is 2701. The next verse in the Bible to have this same value also represents a new beginning, when the ground had dried sufficiently for the survivors of the flood to set foot back on earth. This new beginning commenced on the 27th day of the second month. This verse also ends with the 27th letter of the Hebrew alphabet:
"And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried." Gen 8:14
ובחדש השני בשבעה ועשרים יום לחדש יבשה הארץ
296 317 342 56 626 379 365 320 = 2701
The first occurrence of number 2701in pi begins from position 165. The 165th word in the Bible is (the heaven) when God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven (Gen 1:14). Following are the three digits 938. The 938th word in the Bible is יהוה ("LORD"), when the LORD God said to the serpent, "Thou art cursed..." (Gen 3:14). 938 is also the gematria of a description of the day of the LORD by the prophet Amos:
"Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?" Amo 5:20
הלא חשך יום יהוה ולא אור ואפל ולא נגה לו
36 58 37 117 207 37 26 56 328 36 = 938
הלא חשך יום יהוה ולא אור ואפל ולא נגה לו
36 58 37 117 207 37 26 56 328 36 = 938
The progenitor of the new postdiluvian new beginning was Noah, who also lived to a good old age. There are 31,102 verses in the Bible, and beginning from position 31,102 in e are the four digits 2992. This is the gematria of the Bible verse detailing the number of years of Noah's life:
"And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died." Gen 9:29
ויהיו כל ימי נח תשע מאות שנה וחמשים שנה וימת
456 355 404 355 447 770 58 60 50 37 = 2992
The days of Noah's life were 950 years.
This first occurrence of 950 in pi begins from position 30. The 30th word in the Bible is the untranslated את (aleph tav) "And God saw (את) the light..." (Gen 1:4). 2884 is the gematria value of the first verse of the prophet Jeremiah's concluding message from the Temple gate:
ויהיו כל ימי נח תשע מאות שנה וחמשים שנה וימת
456 355 404 355 447 770 58 60 50 37 = 2992
The days of Noah's life were 950 years.
- in pi, the first occurrence of 950 is followed by the four digits 2884
- in e, the first occurrence of 950 begins from position 2884
This first occurrence of 950 in pi begins from position 30. The 30th word in the Bible is the untranslated את (aleph tav) "And God saw (את) the light..." (Gen 1:4). 2884 is the gematria value of the first verse of the prophet Jeremiah's concluding message from the Temple gate:
"Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:" Jer 10:1
שמעו את הדבר אשר דבר יהוה עליכם בית ישראל
541 142 170 26 206 501 211 401 216 = 2884
שמעו את הדבר אשר דבר יהוה עליכם בית ישראל
541 142 170 26 206 501 211 401 216 = 2884
Solomon's Gold
The famous verse in Revelation is not the Bible's only reference to the number 666. It's first mention was an account of Solomon's revenue in the First Book of Kings:
"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold," 1 Ki 10:14
ויהי משקל הזהב אשר בא לשלמה בשנה אחת שש מאות ששים ושש ככר זהב
14 240 606 650 447 600 408 357 405 3 501 19 470 301 = 4752
Beginning from position 4752 in pi are the three digits 888:
"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold," 1 Ki 10:14
ויהי משקל הזהב אשר בא לשלמה בשנה אחת שש מאות ששים ושש ככר זהב
14 240 606 650 447 600 408 357 405 3 501 19 470 301 = 4752
Beginning from position 4752 in pi are the three digits 888:
In the KJV, the original Greek θεος (Theos) is translated as "God" 1320 times (Strongs G2316). Beginning from position 1320 in pi are the four digits 4752 (Solomon's gold, see above):
The verse relating the amount of gold which came to Solomon (I Ki 10:14) is verse number 9094 in the Bible. The first occurrence of this number in e is followed by the four digits 6868, which is the gematria value of the verse in which the Lord GOD instructed Ezekiel to prophesy concerning the restoration of the people Israel from "the valley of dry bones". As if to emphasize the importance of this verse, in the irrational digits of the square root of 2, 6868 is preceded by 999 (peradventure there be fifty righteous) and followed by the four digits 2701 (the gematria value of Gen 1:1).
"Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel." Eze 37:12
לכן הנבא ואמרת אליהם כה אמר אדני יהוה הנה אני פתח את קברותיכם והעליתי אתכם מקברותיכם עמי והבאתי אתכם אל אדמת ישראל
541 445 31 461 424 120 818 461 531 778 401 488 61 60 26 65 241 25 86 647 58 100 = 6868
לכן הנבא ואמרת אליהם כה אמר אדני יהוה הנה אני פתח את קברותיכם והעליתי אתכם מקברותיכם עמי והבאתי אתכם אל אדמת ישראל
541 445 31 461 424 120 818 461 531 778 401 488 61 60 26 65 241 25 86 647 58 100 = 6868
The term אדני יהוה ("Lord God") appears in 284 verses in the Tanakh. In the New Testament, "God" (αγιος) has an isopsephia value of 284, as does "holy" (αγιος). These words appear together dramatically in Rev 4:8: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was and is and is to come." (αγιος αγιος αγιος κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ο ην και ο ων και ο ερχομενος) which has an isopsephia value of 6218. This is the same value as a verse in which Ezekiel urges the house of Israel to make them a new heart and a new spirit in order that they shall live:
"Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" Eze 18:31
השליכו מעליכם את כל פשעיכם אשר פשעתם בם ועשו לכם לב חדש ורוח חדשה ולמה תמתו בית ישראל
541 412 846 81 317 220 312 32 90 382 42 890 501 520 50 401 210 371 = 6218
The decimal number 666 is 1010011010 in binary. Beginning from position 1,010,011,010 in pi are the four digits 5166. This is the gematria value of another verse from Ezekiel, in which Israel is to be restored to the land and converted:
"Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" Eze 18:31
השליכו מעליכם את כל פשעיכם אשר פשעתם בם ועשו לכם לב חדש ורוח חדשה ולמה תמתו בית ישראל
541 412 846 81 317 220 312 32 90 382 42 890 501 520 50 401 210 371 = 6218
The decimal number 666 is 1010011010 in binary. Beginning from position 1,010,011,010 in pi are the four digits 5166. This is the gematria value of another verse from Ezekiel, in which Israel is to be restored to the land and converted:
"And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:" Eze 11:19
ונתתי להם לב אחד ורוח חדשה אתן בקרבכם והסרתי לב האבן מבשרם ונתתי להם לב בשר
502 32 75 866 582 58 32 681 364 451 317 220 13 32 75 866 = 5166
In I Ki 10:14, "six hundred threescore and six" (שש מאות ששים ושש) has a gematria value of 2303. The first occurrence of this number in pi begins from position 1042, which is the gematria value of a verse from the Book of Isaiah. Here the Prophet speaks to Zion, which literally becomes a light unto the nations:
ונתתי להם לב אחד ורוח חדשה אתן בקרבכם והסרתי לב האבן מבשרם ונתתי להם לב בשר
502 32 75 866 582 58 32 681 364 451 317 220 13 32 75 866 = 5166
In I Ki 10:14, "six hundred threescore and six" (שש מאות ששים ושש) has a gematria value of 2303. The first occurrence of this number in pi begins from position 1042, which is the gematria value of a verse from the Book of Isaiah. Here the Prophet speaks to Zion, which literally becomes a light unto the nations:
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." Isa 60:1
קומי אורי כי בא אורך וכבוד יהוה עליך זרח
215 130 26 38 227 3 30 217 156 = 1042
"Arise, shine;" (קומי אורי) has a gematria of 373, the same value as the "Word" (λογος) from John 1:1.
קומי אורי כי בא אורך וכבוד יהוה עליך זרח
215 130 26 38 227 3 30 217 156 = 1042
"Arise, shine;" (קומי אורי) has a gematria of 373, the same value as the "Word" (λογος) from John 1:1.
Here I Am
In addition to Eze 11:19, 5166 is also the numerical value of a verse from John's Gospel:
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." John 8:58
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι
150 981 70 888 99 99 838 500 240 145 283 808 65 = 5166
For uttering these words, Jesus risked being stoned (Joh 8:59) by his detractors. When called by God in Gen 22:1 and again in Gen 22:11, Abraham responded with "here I am" also translated as "here am I" and has a gematria value of 115. When Jesus said "before Abraham was, I am", εγω ειμι (I am) has an isopsephia value of 873. Proving the words of Jesus, the first occurrence of 873 (Jesus: I am) in pi appears immediately before 115 (Abraham: here I am).
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." John 8:58
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι
150 981 70 888 99 99 838 500 240 145 283 808 65 = 5166
For uttering these words, Jesus risked being stoned (Joh 8:59) by his detractors. When called by God in Gen 22:1 and again in Gen 22:11, Abraham responded with "here I am" also translated as "here am I" and has a gematria value of 115. When Jesus said "before Abraham was, I am", εγω ειμι (I am) has an isopsephia value of 873. Proving the words of Jesus, the first occurrence of 873 (Jesus: I am) in pi appears immediately before 115 (Abraham: here I am).
In this sequence of digits, 873 begins from position 918 and 115 begins from position 921. Adding 918 and 921 results in the gematria value of the Great Messianic Prophecy from the Book of Deuteronomy:
"The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;" Deu 18:15
נביא מקרבך מאחיך כמני יקים לך יהוה אלהיך אליו תשמעון
866 47 66 26 50 160 120 79 362 63 = 1839
This first occurrence of 873 is centered on position 919, which is the isopsephy of Melchisedec (μελχισεδεκ) to whom Abraham tithed (Gen 14:18-20. Also see Hebrews chapters 5 and 7).
The first occurrence of 157 in pi is followed by the four digits 3525, which leads us to the verse where, like Abraham, Moses responded to God's call with "here I am".
"The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;" Deu 18:15
נביא מקרבך מאחיך כמני יקים לך יהוה אלהיך אליו תשמעון
866 47 66 26 50 160 120 79 362 63 = 1839
This first occurrence of 873 is centered on position 919, which is the isopsephy of Melchisedec (μελχισεδεκ) to whom Abraham tithed (Gen 14:18-20. Also see Hebrews chapters 5 and 7).
- 919 is the 157th prime number
- the word "beast" appears in 157 bible verses (KJV)
The first occurrence of 157 in pi is followed by the four digits 3525, which leads us to the verse where, like Abraham, Moses responded to God's call with "here I am".
"And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I." Exo 3:4
וירא יהוה כי סר לראות ויקרא אליו אלהים מתוך הסנה ויאמר משה משה ויאמר הנני
115 257 345 345 257 120 466 86 47 317 637 260 30 26 217 = 3525
Had the angst of the stone throwers been justified, then Jesus (873: I am) would need to have been after Abraham (115: here I am). The first occurrence of 115873 begins from position 88,578 in pi:
וירא יהוה כי סר לראות ויקרא אליו אלהים מתוך הסנה ויאמר משה משה ויאמר הנני
115 257 345 345 257 120 466 86 47 317 637 260 30 26 217 = 3525
Had the angst of the stone throwers been justified, then Jesus (873: I am) would need to have been after Abraham (115: here I am). The first occurrence of 115873 begins from position 88,578 in pi:
- 88 + 578 = 666
666 is the number of the beast, and the word "beast" is mentioned 44 times in Revelation. The first occurrence of 44 in pi is noteworthy for being followed by 59, and beginning from position 59:
The 59th word in the Bible is ויהי (H1961) transliterated as hayah, which literally means "come to pass" or "to be". Curiously, the 1961st verse in the Bible (Exo 16:13) begins with this same word ויהי. In a famous verse in the Book of Exodus, H1961 is translated as "I AM"
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Exo 3:14
ויאמר אלהים אל משה אהיה אשר אהיה ויאמר כה תאמר לבני ישראל אהיה שלחני אליכם
101 398 21 541 92 641 25 257 21 501 21 345 31 86 257 = 3338
For more on the number 3338 (the year of the destruction of the First Temple, and it's relevance to 5778, see above.
Six hundred (600) threescore (60) and six (6) can also be written as 600606. The numbers surrounding the first occurrence of this concatenated form of 666 in e have momentous end time implications:
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Exo 3:14
ויאמר אלהים אל משה אהיה אשר אהיה ויאמר כה תאמר לבני ישראל אהיה שלחני אליכם

Six hundred (600) threescore (60) and six (6) can also be written as 600606. The numbers surrounding the first occurrence of this concatenated form of 666 in e have momentous end time implications:
Reading from the left, we find the numbers:
3338: the year of the destruction of the First Temple and the gematria value of Exo 3:14.
the first appearance of 666 in pi begins from position 2440, and 2440 + 3338 = 5778
541: the gematria value of Israel (ישראל)
450: the verse number of Gen 18:25 in which Abraham pleaded on behalf of the righteous people of Sodom
1008: the isopsephia value of Armageddon (αρμαγεδδων) Rev 16:16

The Children of Adonikam
Most people relate 666 with the number of the beast, and many also know about Solomon's 666 talents of gold. Less well known is the Bible's other 666 reference: the 666 children of Adonikam who returned to Jerusalem following the Babylonian exile:
"The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six." Ezr 2:13
"The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six." Ezr 2:13
In the original Greek, Babylon (Βαβυλων) has an isopsephia value of 1285, and the first occurrence of this number in e is surrounded by the values of Jesus Christ on one side, and a verse warning against false apostles of Christ on the other!
Jesus Christ
Ιησους Χριστος
888 1480 = 2368
Ιησους Χριστος
888 1480 = 2368
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ." 2 Co 11:13
οι γαρ τοιουτοι ψευδαποστολοι εργαται δολιοι μετασχηματιζομενοι εις αποστολους χριστου
80 104 1230 1940 420 194 1757 215 1421 1680 = 9041
This first occurrence of 1285 (Babylon) in e begins from position 2432. In pi, the first occurrence of 2432 is followed by the four digits 3789. The sum of the distinct prime factors of 3789 (3² x 421) is 424, which is the gematria value of Messiah ben David (משיח בן דוד). See Why was Jesus called the Son of David. In the Bible, 3789 is the gematria value of two remarkably similar verses exhorting God to listen:
οι γαρ τοιουτοι ψευδαποστολοι εργαται δολιοι μετασχηματιζομενοι εις αποστολους χριστου
80 104 1230 1940 420 194 1757 215 1421 1680 = 9041

"Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God." Isa 37:17
הטה יהוה אזנך ושמע פקח יהוה עינך וראה ושמע את כל דברי סנחריב אשר שלח לחרף אלהים חי

"O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name." Dan 9:19
אדני שמעה אדני סלחה אדני הקשיבה ועשה אל תאחר למענך אלהי כי שמך נקרא על עירך ועל עמך

In the irrational digits of the square root of 2, the first occurrence of 2432 is remarkable, in that the last digit of the string commences the second occurrence of 2432 (the beginning and the end, see Rev 22:13).

Returning to the 666 children of Adonikam who came out of Babylon, in Ezra 2:13 "six hundred sixty and six" (שש מאות ששים וששה) has a gematria value of 2308. The first occurrence of this number in pi is followed by the four digits 2533, the gematria value of Ezekiel's vision of glory, in when he saw four "living creatures" (Cherubim).
"Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man." Eze 1:5
ומתוכה דמות ארבע חיות וזה מראיהן דמות אדם להנה
90 45 450 306 18 424 273 450 477 = 2533
In this verse, "creatures" (חיות) has a gematria value of 424 (Messiah ben David) and "living" (וזה) has a gematria value of 18 from the word root חי (life), which also has a value of 18. Transliterated as chai, Strongs H2416 is tanslated in the KJV as "life" 144 times, and also as "beast" 76 times. There are 144,000 redeemed from the earth in the verse following the revelation of the beast's number (Rev 14:1), and the walls of the New Jerusalem are 144 cubits (Rev 21:17). Amazingly, the first occurrence of 18 in pi begins from position 424:
ומתוכה דמות ארבע חיות וזה מראיהן דמות אדם להנה
90 45 450 306 18 424 273 450 477 = 2533
In this verse, "creatures" (חיות) has a gematria value of 424 (Messiah ben David) and "living" (וזה) has a gematria value of 18 from the word root חי (life), which also has a value of 18.

Amazingly, the first occurrence of 18 in pi begins from position 424:
Even more amazing is that the next four digits (6117) are the gematria value of the final warning from the Palestinian covenant, advising us to "choose life" rather than death:
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deu 30:19
העידתי בכם היום את השמים ואת הארץ החיים והמות נתתי לפניך הברכה והקללה ובחרת בחיים למען תחיה אתה וזרעך
303 406 423 190 70 616 176 232 190 860 457 73 296 407 395 401 61 62 499 = 6117
In the Book of Ecclesiastes ("The words of the Preacher, the son of David..."), Koheleth pondered whether the ultimate fate of man was any different to that of beasts:
"Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" Ecc 3:21, verse number 17,381 in the KJV
At least one kabbalist has associated this verse to the 666 of Revelation, and with good reason. To understand the connection, we need to return to the 666 children of Adonikam. In that verse Six, sixty and six (שש ששים וששה) has a gematria value of 1861. The first occurrence of this number in pi takes us back to position 424 (Messiah ben David). Astonishingly, the following five digits (17381) matches the bible verse number of Ecc 3:21!
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deu 30:19

In Revelation, those cast into the lake of fire and brimstone were the beast, the false prophet and the dragon (that old serpent, the devil, and Satan).
The word "dragon" is mentioned in 18 verses in the Bible, and the false prophet in only four. In fact, outside of Revelation, false prophet is mentioned only once, in the Acts of the Apostles. There the false prophet was a sorcerer, a certain Barjesus. A self proclaimed prophet of God who had his own religious agenda, and who tried to turn a prudent man (Sergius Paulus) away from the faith (Acts 13:6-7). In Ecc 3:21, "the beast that goeth downward" (הבהמה הירדת) has a gematria value of 676, which is 26². Barjesus (the false prophet) was also known as Elymas (Ελυμας) which also has a numerical value of 676. But the connection doesn't end there. |
"But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith." Acts 13:8
ανθιστατο δε αυτοις ελυμας ο μαγος ουτω γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως
941 9 981 676 70 314 1570 104 978 370 231 1171 1165 1331 420 961 151 508 1595
= 13,546
ανθιστατο δε αυτοις ελυμας ο μαγος ουτω γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως
941 9 981 676 70 314 1570 104 978 370 231 1171 1165 1331 420 961 151 508 1595
= 13,546
The number of the children of Adonikam, along with their gematria values are six (600) sixty (650) and six (611), so the concatenated version reads 600650611. The first occurrence of this number in pi is followed by the four digits 1989. This is the gematria value of the verse concerning the death of Abraham in a good old age:
"Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people." Gen 25:8
ויגוע וימת אברהם בשיבה טובה זקן ושבע ויאסף אל עמיו
126 31 157 378 157 22 319 248 456 95 = 1989
The word "Abraham" is mentioned in 216 bible verses, which is 6*6*6. The first occurrence of 216 in pi begins from position 991, which is the isopsephia value of Barjesus (Βαριησους), also known as Elymas the sorcerer. The following three digits are 420, and verse number 420 in the Bible is the sixth verse mentioning Abraham (Gen 17:22). The next four digits are 1989 (Gen 25:8) which round out the first one thousand digits of pi.
To know the number of years which constituted Abraham's good old age, we need only go back one, to verse number 666 in the Bible:
"And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years." Gen 25:7, verse #666
Abraham's 175 years can be represented as 100 (an hundred) 60 (threescore) and 15 (fifteen). Which, by adopting the same technique as above, can be represented as 1006015. In both pi and e, the first occurrence of this number is followed by the same three digits (444):
"And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years." Gen 25:7, verse #666
Abraham's 175 years can be represented as 100 (an hundred) 60 (threescore) and 15 (fifteen). Which, by adopting the same technique as above, can be represented as 1006015. In both pi and e, the first occurrence of this number is followed by the same three digits (444):
- 444 + 444 = 888, the isopsephia value of Jesus (ιησους)
Here Is Wisdom
The synchroneity between the number 666 and the numerical values of Jesus, Christ and even the Tetragrammaton appears confusing, until we remember the words of the prophet Isaiah:
"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." Isa 45:7
In Judaism, this verse is quoted at the beginning of the morning service, when the word evil (or "woe") is replaced by the euphemism "everything". The words "light" and "darkness" appear in 235 and 142 Bible verses (KJV) respectively for a total of 377. The 377th word in the Bible is the untranslated את, aleph tav, the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (everything). Jesus is the light (John 8:12). The gematria of שטן ("Satan") is 359, and the first occurrence of this number begins from position 142 in pi (the number of verses in which the word "darkness" appears in the Bible).

In Mat 12:22, Jesus healed a man possessed of the devil. The people were amazed, and said "Is not this the son of David?" (Mat 12:23). The Pharisees, however, blasphemed by ascribing to Satan the works of the Spirit:
"But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils." Mat 12:24
Beelzebub (Βεελζεβουλ) has an isopsephia value of 556, and the first occurrence of this number in pi is followed by the four digits 2099. This is the gematria of the previous verse from Isaiah, when God explained to Cyrus that his great victories were not for Cyrus's own sake, but to liberate Israel and thus spread the fame of the one true God throughout the world:
"But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils." Mat 12:24
Beelzebub (Βεελζεβουλ) has an isopsephia value of 556, and the first occurrence of this number in pi is followed by the four digits 2099. This is the gematria of the previous verse from Isaiah, when God explained to Cyrus that his great victories were not for Cyrus's own sake, but to liberate Israel and thus spread the fame of the one true God throughout the world:
"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else." Isa 45:6
למען ידעו ממזרח שמש וממערבה כי אפס בלעדי אני יהוה ואין עוד
80 67 26 61 116 141 30 363 640 295 90 190 = 2099
As if to emphasize that God created "everything" including evil, the gematria values of the sun (640) and the LORD (26) sums to 666. In response to the Pharisees blasphemy, Jesus responded with:
"And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" Mat 12:26
και ει ο σατανας τον σαταναν εκβαλλει εφ εαυτον εμερισθη πως ουν σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου
31 15 70 753 420 603 103 505 826 377 1080 520 1034 8 259 1171 = 7775
Within the decimal digits of pi, 7775 is followed by the three digits 606. Threescore and six or 66. The 66th word in the Bible is the untranslated את, aleph tav, the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet; the Alpha and the Omega. This is then followed by the three digits 888 (Jesus). There is also an overlap with the four digits 5777, which year on the Hebrew calendar corresponds with 2016/2017.

Rev 13:18 begins with the words "Here is wisdom...". The Greek word σοφια ("wisdom") has an isopsephia value of 781, and it's first occurrence in pi begins from position 66. Then follows the three digits 640, the gematria value of שמש (shemesh, meaning "sun").
To establish the covenant of the new beginning with Noah, God set a rainbow in the sky in verse number 222 in the Bible (Gen 9:16). The word "wisdom" appears in 222 bible verses (KJV). In Noah's day, few heeded the Prophet's exhortation to choose life.
The first occurrence of 67 in pi begins from position 98, and is immediately followed by the two digits 98. 9898 is the gematria value of a verse from Revelation relating to the most appropriate angel of the waters:
- the word "life" appears in 409 bible verses (KJV)
- the word "death" appears in 342 bible verses (KJV)
- 409 - 342 = 67
- there are 67 Hebrew letters in Gen 9:16
The first occurrence of 67 in pi begins from position 98, and is immediately followed by the two digits 98. 9898 is the gematria value of a verse from Revelation relating to the most appropriate angel of the waters:
"And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus." Rev 16:5
και ηκουσα του αγγελου των υδατων λεγοντος δικαιος κυριε ει ο ων και ο ην και ο εσομενος οτι ταυτα εκρινας
31 699 770 512 1150 1555 728 315 535 15 70 850 31 70 58 31 70 640 380 1002 386 = 9898
The question for this generation is whether we will prove more receptive to the warnings, or will it be just like in Noah's day?
"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Mat 24:37
Jesus said:
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Mat 23:34
God gave Noah the rainbow sign.
No more water, the fire next time!
