The Numbers Point Straight, To 5778
With a common difference of 12, the arithmetic progression 210, 222, 234 is an intriguing element of Bible gematria. These numbers recur frequently on these pages, beginning with the 210 years of the exile in Egypt. As well as being in sequence, each of these numbers are also "straight-line" numbers". Any number of three or more digits (> 99) is said to be a straight-line number if it's digits form an arithmetic progression, as you can see in the following graphs of our three numbers.
The Hebrew word for "straight" is ישר, which is an anagram of שרי (Sarai)
There are an infinite number of straight-line numbers, but only 96 of them are non rep-digits. The sum of our three numbers is that most famous of straight-line numbers:
Biblical prophesy can be a confounding area of study, but it seems we only need straight line geometry to recognize the prophetic significance of the year 5778 on the Hebrew calendar. There is a Talmudic statement that the world will exist for 6000 years and then enter a new state. (Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]). It is further stated:
In Nachmanides commentary on the Torah (Gen 2:3) we read:
The end will be preceded by a time of great tribulation (Mat 24:15-26), as described by the prophet Jeremiah:
"Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jer 30:7
The duration of the great tribulation is given as 3½ prophetic years or "a time, and times and half a time" (Dan 7:25, 12:7, Rev 12:14) for a total of 3½ x 360 = 1260 days.
In Genesis chapter 1, the first verse encapsulated the beginning of God's creation, and in the final verse God saw that every thing was very good at the end of the sixth day. The gematria values of these first and last verses of the first chapter of Genesis sum to 5766.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1:1
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ
296 407 395 401 86 203 913 = 2701
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Gen 1:31
וירא אלהים את כל אשר עשה והנה טוב מאד ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום הששי
615 56 302 31 272 31 45 17 66 375 501 50 401 86 217 = 3065
- 210 + 222 + 234 = 666
- 666 is referenced in Rev 13:18
- Rev 13:18 gives 13 x 18 = 234
- this verse begins with "Here is wisdom…"
- the word "wisdom" appears in 222 Bible verses (KJV)
- the word "wisdom" appears 234 times in the Bible (KJV)
- the word "truth" appears in 222 Bible verses (KJV)
- 210 x 222 x 234 = 10,909,080
- 10 + 909 + 080 = 999
- 10,909,080 = 999 x 10,920
- the first occurrence of 10920 in phi (the golden ratio) is preceded by the three digits 888 ("Jesus")

There is a Talmudic statement that the world will exist for 6000 years and then enter a new state. (Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]). It is further stated:
- “The world will exist for six thousand years: two millennia of void (‘tohu’); Two millennia of Torah; and then two millennia of the age of Moshiach.” Talmud, Tractate Avodah Zarah [9a]
In Nachmanides commentary on the Torah (Gen 2:3) we read:
- “Each of the six days of Creation corresponds to a 1,000 year period of future history.”
The end will be preceded by a time of great tribulation (Mat 24:15-26), as described by the prophet Jeremiah:
"Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jer 30:7
- Jer 30:7 gives 30 x 7 = 210
- the term ועת צרה היא ליעקב ("the time of Jacob's trouble") has a gematria value of 999
The duration of the great tribulation is given as 3½ prophetic years or "a time, and times and half a time" (Dan 7:25, 12:7, Rev 12:14) for a total of 3½ x 360 = 1260 days.
- 1260 = 6 x 210

615 56 302 31 272 31 45 17 66 375 501 50 401 86 217 = 3065
- 2701 + 3065 = 5766
- 5766 + 234 = 6000
- 5778 + 222 = 6000
- verses 1 + 31 = 32 (paths to wisdom)
- the word אלהים (Elohim, translated as God) appears 32 times in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis
- Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:31 both contain the untranslated את aleph-tav (first and last)
- the first letter of the Torah (ב) and the last (ל) have a combined gematria value of 32
- these letters form the Hebrew word for heart (לב)
A flock of starlings fly over an agricultural field near the southern Israeli city of Netivoton on February 12, 2014. The starlings migrate from central and Eastern Europe to spend the winter in Israel. The Hebrew word for heart (לב) has a gematria value of 32.

- on the first day of Sukkot in the year 5778, the sun will be π /210 x 10¹⁰ km from Jerusalem
- on that same day, Venus will be in conjunction with Mars at 23.4⁰ elongation to the sun
- the angle of the Earth's axial tilt is also 23.4⁰
For an understanding of the Messianic significance of the Feast of Sukkot, see here. It seems that the paths to wisdom are straight paths, as we read in Scripture:
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Mat 7:14
The imagery of two paths from Mat 7:13-14 also appears in the Book of Deuteronomy 30:15-19 where the advice is to "choose life". The Hebrew word for "choose" (בחר) has a gematria value of 210. The words of Matthew inspired a song by Hank Williams, which he recorded in 1948:

6000 Years, Light Speed And The Atomic Clock
Up until 1967 global standard time was calculated astronomically from the rotation of the earth on it's axis. This was an extremely accurate method, but not precise due to various anomalies including earth's elliptical orbit and the fact that the earth's rotation is gradually slowing. In modern times, the need for precisely synchronised time has important applications in navigation. Satellite-based global positioning and navigation systems share one common clock frequency and one common, highly synchronised system time. In the quest for the necessary precision, timekeeping passed from the domain of astronomers to physicists. The second, which had previously been described as 1/86,400th of a mean solar day was from October 1967 more accurately described as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom." More simply, it is based on the frequency of light emitted by cesium-133 when exposed to microwave radiation, as explained in the following video from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
By measuring this frequency, the value of 9,192,631,770 per second has been assigned. The new NIST-F2 atomic clock is accurate to within 1 second in 300 million years!
"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads." Rev 14:1
A close approximation of the frequency of cesium-133 can be obtained from a calculation using the prophesied time assigned to the Earth, and the speed of light in a vacuum:
This equates to the number of oscillations of a cesium-133 atom in one second, to an accuracy of 99.994%.
To keep our atomic clocks from running too far ahead of time as determined by the Earth’s rotation, every year or two the captains of global timekeeping add a second to atomic time before broadcasting this adjusted time out to the world as Universal Coordinated Time.
The adjustment’s unassuming little name is the leap second. Ten of them were tacked on to UTC all at once in 1972, and another 25 have been added since. No. 26 is slated for the end of June 30 2015, just before midnight.
- 9,192,631,770 has 144 divisors
- God created the Earth in 6 days or 144 hours
- there are 1440 minutes in a day
"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads." Rev 14:1
A close approximation of the frequency of cesium-133 can be obtained from a calculation using the prophesied time assigned to the Earth, and the speed of light in a vacuum:
- speed of light (c) = 299.792458 thousand km / sec
- time assigned to the Earth = 6,000 years
- (c² + 6000)² = 9,192,114,928
This equates to the number of oscillations of a cesium-133 atom in one second, to an accuracy of 99.994%.
- 9,192,631,770 - 9,192,114,928 = 516,842
- 5 + 1 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 26
- the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) has a gematria value of 26

Particle physicists describe the certainty of a result on a scale that goes up to 5 sigma. One sigma could be a random statistical fluctuation in the data, 3 sigma counts as evidence, but only a full 5-sigma result is a discovery. By definition, the probability that a 5-sigma result is wrong is less than one in a million. Writing Guidelines - CERN. According to this scale, the above calculation represents strong evidence for the existence of God.
