home last update 30-08-2007 10. The Speaking of God and the Hebrew alphabet with 22 letters.
In general is accepted the alphabet originates from sounds. Moreover in the Hebrew langue this is possibly different. Here the speaking originates from the alphabet. Although the alphabet arises out of 27 letters, after replacing the 5 finals, the alphabet is ready with 22 letters. Gen.1:3 indicates that. This verse starts with the 22nd word of Genesis. With the 22nd word speaking begins:
Word 27 26 25 24 23 22 Gen.1:3:
If God speaks, His words become reality. Word and Act are one with God. The thought proceeds the word. In fact with God thought, word and act are one. This is the essence of truth. Here is no difference between thinking, speaking and acting. The speaking of God comes to us by the bible, by the Hebrew text and also by the Hebrew alphabet. The word that goes out from God, can be expressed by the triangle of 22. This triangle has 253 units:
T22 has 253 units. The Word that emanates from God. To the number 253 are awarded different meanings. Various meanings seem to point in the same direction: womb (רחמה), un born (נברא), to be guiltless (נצטדק). You might say one can see the alphabet as the womb for words, unformed, they can't do any good or any harm. In Math.15:11 Jesus says: ‘What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' ’ And also Luke 19:22 expresses this: ‘His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?’ Therefore it's important that we use our words very carefully. Also the phrase 'place of understanding' has the number value 253: בינה מקום=67+186=253 (Job 28:12).
T22 with 253 units, connected by 441 triangles. The factors of 253 are 11x23. If we express that
as a rectangle, the circumference turns out to be 64. In the Greek gematria is
the number value of the word 'truth',
Because the Word that emanates from God is truth (Ps.119:160, Joh.17:17), it doesn't return without success (Jes.55:11). This returning can be expressed by the turned triangle of 22. Together these two triangles form the hexagram or Star of David with 337 units.
Star of David with 337 units. This
is also the number value of the phrase ‘God said’:
This number mirrors it selves in the speaking of God: 337-733. Although the phrase ‘the Word of God is truth’ not occurs in the bible (but it's described like this), other phrases can be found with the value 733. Because Jesus becomes called ‘the Word of God’ (John 1:14), I have looked for related texts. The phrase ‘out of the well of Bethlehem’ (the place of birth of Jesus) in 2 Sam.23:15 turns out to have the number value 733:
Out of ‘Beth Lechem’, the ‘House of the Bread’, comes our spiritual bread and out of the well of Bethlehem comes the water through which we never shall thirst again (John 7:37-38). Out of 733, out of the truth of Gods Word Christ arises. Composite 733=888. I think that we have to realize that it is David, who wants to drink out of the well of Bethlehem. And he lived about 1000 years BC. Jesus says about that the following:
Jesus
tells that he is the root of David. In fact he is telling that he is the forefather
of David. Historical that seems to be impossible. For us, any way for me, that's
hard to understand. But the bible appears to be interlarded by this kind of
statements. 733 is also the number value of the phrase visions
of God, Also the 22nd word of the bible ‘and said’, where God speaks for the first time in the bible, has with gematria ‘full’ the number value 733: and
said=
The speaking of God hides in this way that with His speaking also the truth appears. And the number 733 can become expressed by a mathematical image of hexagons and hexagrams:
‘snowflake’ with 733 units: the Word of God is truth,
The Star of David with 337 units (God said) holds the centers of the 7 stars of 73 units.
God said: 337, and 733: the Word of God is truth. The gematria and the symbols make the relationship between the Hebrew and the Greek langue visible. The gematria of the Greek word ‘logos’ (Word) is: Word= λογος=30+70+3+70+200=373
‘snowflake’ with 373 units 373 is build up out of (7x37)+(6x19) and 733 is: (7x73)+(6x37) Also
the phrase:
The last word of Gen.21:24 points to the same issue. There Abraham says: I will swear. ‘Will swear’ has the same number value as the word logos, λογος, ‘Word’, the word that is Truth: Will
swear =
*** The sum of first five Stars of David is: 1+7+13+37+73=131. Palindrome 22=131, and prime 131=733 (131=prime 33) All these numbers, 337, 373 and 733 have an optical relation with the starting point of the Star of David: 1 3 3 7
337 373 733 ‘God said’--------‘Word’-------‘the word of God is truth’
Even
the number of letters of the Torah is
possibly related with this figure. In this case the gray circle plays a roll as
unit 1.
The first word of the Torah is ‘In the beginning’, 152403= (1x3x37)x(1373) The factors of the center of the Torah are build up by the numbers 1, 3, 3 and 7 from the starting point of the Star of David . The bible text seems to be composed very carefully. The phrase ‘and God said’(Gen.1:3), has the number value 343: and
God said= 86+(251+6) 86+257=343 343=7x7x7 or 73
7x7x7=343(=337+6)
The three as well the seven have an important symbolic meaning in the bible. The bible writer seems again and again to make the connection between the 3 and the 7, not only arithmetically but also optical. For by adding them together the numbers 37 and 73 occur (factors of Gen.1:1). The word truth with the number value 441 is also related with these two ciphers. For 441 is 21x21 or (3x7)x(7x3) The factors of truth have a clear optical relationship with the factors of Gen.1:1. (37x73) The
speaking of God can be seen as the creating by God, for by God
thinking, speaking and acting are one. The number of the speaking of God, 337,
seems to confirm this. When we look for word 337 in the bible text, than it
turns out to be the first word of Gen.1:27: ‘and created’,
It
are the words 337, 344 and 348, sum 1029, which happens to be 3x7x7x7. Or
formulated in a different way: 3x343, Three times ‘and God said’(
Star of David with 337 units and 588 triangles, center of gravity 113 The
337 units of the Star of David, can be connected by 588 triangles. The gematria

An other interesting detail is that the sum of the squares of the individual digits of 2368, of Jesus Christ, is 113: Jesus Christ = and to the third power: 2368
