A War of Numbers

In the months following 911, most of the websites devoted to finding the truth concerned themselves with inconsistencies in the media/government story. Others however, toyed with numerical occurrences that hinted at occult involvement. Was the choice of the eleventh day of the month just a coincidence? Was it a coincidence that New York was the eleventh to join the union? Was it a coincidence that there were 111 days left in the year after September 11^th? Was it a coincidence that multiples of eleven also dominated the flight numbers and passenger quantities of the aircraft involved? Was it a coincidence that the twin towers actually looked like a huge eleven? Was it a coincidence that the number eleven represents “war with the demonic element” in occult lore?

Ever since I read Hal Lindsey’s books about Bible prophecy in the ’80’s I was a big fan of looking for signs that prophecies from the books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation were coming true. Many people had theorized (without much compelling evidence) that America could be the fabled Babylon of Revelation. After 9/11, evidence to support these claims poured forth.

The name Babylon took its name from the infamous tower of Babel. It was destroyed by God because the men who built it sought to glorify and “elevate” themselves toward the heavens. The name Babylon literally means “gate of god” meaning that my use of the term “gate” to refer to 911 was much more than a simple allegory. Was it a coincidence that New York City, along with Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty represented a “gateway to freedom” and to America itself for millions of immigrants? Was it a coincidence that a real gate required two posts, or towers, as in the ancient city-fortress of Babylon? Was it a coincidence that the primary towers in both New York City and Babylon were destroyed?

Aided by some brilliant Internet contacts, I discovered that these were not coincidences. The battle between light and dark, between good and evil, in fact the gate itself was designed and created according to a numerical code known only to an elite few.

As many scientists will attest, the language of science and nature is mathematics. Whether the task is building a bomb, a bridge or a strawberry, the language of numbers is a reliable constant. It should surprise no one therefore, that this rule also extends beyond the purely physical realm.

One of the chief proponents of this framework is E.W. Bullinger and his book Number in Scripture:Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance. Bullingerexamined and compared hundreds of numerical occurrences in the Bible. Besides well-known occurrences like the Ten Commandments and the forty days and forty nights, Bullinger also examined verse numbers, word occurrences, physical dimensions of objects described and even genealogy accounts. Even his examination of the natural world, such as sound and music, chemistry, color and physiology produced a harmony of numbers that agreed with biblical usage. This discovery confirms a fundamental link between God, the Bible and the world in which we live.

Although Bullinger describes advanced methods for deciphering the symbolic meanings behind many numbers used in the Bible, (5, 7, 10, 40, 666 etc.) the most important of these are the numbers from one through eight. Their importance is implied in a critical verse from the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 1:8: “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” UsingBullinger’s methodology, this verse provides us with an important clue for linking the symbolism of one and eight to the beginning and the end, as well as to the journey between them.

In an “earthly” sense, one stands for unity and for the self. One stands for your world and your perceptions of it. Most people have great difficulty in altering their “oneness,” because it often takes a great shock to the system to move them from their comfort zone. You may have heard the phrase “your reality” or “his reality” as if the term reality is not a constant. But reality is a constant. A person’s education, biology or peer group may create a perception of separation, but in truth there is only one world, one reality.

In a more biblical sense, one stands for God. The fact that this number is used to represent both the self and God simultaneously, implies not only that there is only one reality, but also that man is intimately linked to the one God. Man can choose to be one with God or one with himself. When one is paired with another one, as we see in the number eleven, a second god, or a challenger to God is implied.

This pairing brings us to the number two. Two stands for contrasts and comparisons. The second letter of the Hebrew alphabet mirrors the symbolism of the number two. It is called Beit. It is from this letter that we get our word, “both.” This letter is the first letter of the Bible and of the book of Genesis. Like the number two, Beit stands for the beginning of man’s “journey”. If we look at the number two in a positive sense, it stands for man, his realm and all that was created by God for man’s benefit. If we look at it in a negative light, two stands for all that is separate or opposed to God.

 Three stands for triunity or the unique strength that comes from a three fold union. If we look at buildings, bridges or even automotive design, we can easily find examples of how diagonal members are used to strengthen a structure. A square is a relatively flimsy shape. But if that square is bisected (creating two triangles) a very rigid shape results.

Our world is measured by 3’s in a number of ways: height, length and breadth describe physical dimensions. Positions are sometimes based on x, y and z coordinates. Substances may be described as animal, vegetable or mineral. States of matter are usually defined as solid, liquid or gas. Time is often described as being comprised of past, present and future. God too, can be described this way. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He may also be described as a triune entity consisting of God the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus the Son.

The number four represents many of the dark qualities of the number two in an intensified form. It is the first number that can be divided by a quantity other than one and itself. Four is simultaneously the sum of two and two as well as the product of two times two. Four represents that which is divided from, or opposed to God in an extreme way.

Five represents grace. Specifically, gifts from God that are given to those who don’t deserve them are gifts of grace. The Old and New Covenants are both marked by fives. It is no accident that there are Ten Commandments. (A multiple of five.) Jesus’ life and death on earth is one of the best examples of the grace/gifts from God.

As implied by the infamous number 666, six is the number of man and his works apart from God. It is particularly linked to colossal works of man like the pyramids and the Tower of Babel. As one step above and beyond the grace of the number five, six indicates that the grace available from God has been ignored or rejected.

Seven may in fact be the most wondrous of numbers. It is used unlike any other number in the Bible. Bullinger says that the usage and symbolism of the number seven may in fact be innumerable. As the number of notes on a musical scale, colors of the rainbow and days of the week, the number seven serves as an undeniable signature of God’s hand upon creation. In the Bible, the word “seven” occurs 287 times. (7 x 41) The word “seventh” occurs 98 times (7 x 14). “Seven-fold” occurs seven times. “Seventy” occurs 56 times (7 x 8). There are seven seals and seven angels with seven trumpets in Revelation 6-8. There are seven parables of Matthew 13. There are seven gifts in Romans 12:6-8, seven unities of Ephesians 4:4-6, seven characteristics of wisdom in James 3:17, seven gifts of Christ in John’s Gospel, seven “better” things and seven titles of Christ in the book of Hebrews. Most significantly, it was on the seventh day that the Lord rested after creating the heavens and the earth. Thus, the number seven indicates the end of a cycle.

The number eight is unique and powerful in its own right. It carries many of the symbolic qualities of the number one, but also serves as a link between the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. Eight stands for superabundance and regeneration. If the numbers from one to seven represent the path of man through trials and tribulations, through triumphs and failures, the number eight implies that man has succeeded in his journey and achieved the ultimate regeneration: immortality of the soul.

The number eight also bears a striking similarity to the mathematical symbol for infinity, which is essentially a number eight on its side. A classic schoolroom demonstration of infinity is accomplished by putting a twist in a loop of ribbon so that it is essentially one sided. It also takes little effort to see the similarity between the number eight and the yin and yang of Eastern philosophy which carries much of the same symbolism.

In addition to Bullinger’s groundbreaking work, I compared numerical data from a number of other biblical researchers. Stan Tenen (meru.org) and his groundbreaking work with the Hebrew text of Genesis were incredibly helpful. His work is far too extraordinary to summarize here, but his discoveries were instrumental in allowing me to examine passages from the New Testament with ancient, time honored, Old Testament principles.

As Stan demonstrates on his website and a host of other materials, the first sentence of the Torah (and of the Bible), “In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” contains an embedded code that Stan calls “letter level coding.” The breadth of multi-dimensional information that resides within these letters may in fact be beyond the ability of mankind to completely unravel. One major factor that is verifiable however, is that the first line of Genesis is written in such a way that the last character is virtually synonymous with the first. This implies a cycle and a deeply symbolic metaphor for creation, life, death and rebirth that is exactly like the 1-8 principle implied in Bullinger’s system!

While I marveled at Stan’s work, I hoped that some day a similar system might be uncovered within the pages of the New Testament. While his work spoke volumes about the creation and early trials of humanity, I hoped that there might be some secrets encoded within the Bible that would speak to the people of the Christian era.

A little boredom and a virtual addiction to new information allowed me to find a researcher who had done just that. Pat Killeen (her site is currently down) demonstrated a system of English language gematria that took New Testament analysis to an entirely new level. In addition to her intriguing work with gematria, she also developed an absolutely staggering analysis of the history of Christianity and the hidden forces that were working to destroy it since the very beginning. Her tireless dedication and extensive library was the perfect partners for my intense curiosity. With the advent of 911, our work quickly merged and I felt miraculously grateful that the Bible would not cease to reveal new secrets anytime in the near future.

And of course there was the Bible code, which was hugely popularized by Michael Drosnin’s book of the same name. It has been widely explored and developed on many websites and books. Although proponents on both sides claim victory in their pronouncements about the authenticity of the Equidistant Letter Spacing (ELS) phenomenon, it too continues to provide incite about current events virtually as they happen, seemingly silencing the critics.

One might say that the only flaw with the Bible code is that it comes from a portion of the Bible that is written in Hebrew. Even with the help of modern software that works on any PC, “translation” is somewhat awkward. This too begs that someone or something new would come along to carry the torch into the Christian era. And so it is that William Downie reveals for us “The New Bible Code” which blends Bullinger’s work, English language gematria and fractal geometry into a brand new statement about our existence and its divine design.

With the help of these and other extraordinary people, I could see that the numerical architecture that was employed throughout the Bible, the Tarot cards, the Koran and the design of our universe was also expressed in America’s greatest tragedy. To say that 9/11 was the work of Afghani terrorists was the most ridiculous obfuscation ever to reach human ears.

With this numerical foundation in place, I could now assemble the many, many clues which had been under our very noses for decades. It was soon evident that the patterns of numbers were not simply a subtle, incidental background component of our design, but a thriving, intricate expression of intent between forces in a truly universal war between good and evil forces.

In the same way that a solider would fight a soldier, a tank would fight a tank and a battle ship would fight a battle ship, the war of numbers provides a predictable and identifiable framework upon which the war for our souls is fought.

To obtain the greatest summation of our existence, I needed only to identify the players. Fortunately, the players on the dark side of the battle are very proud and boastful of their accomplishments, and their trail was not hard to follow
