THE CROSS OF GOD

Where a triangle, in the context of the Bible, is a clear reference to the Trinity, a square may seem a little more obtuse to some. The underlying meaning of a square is readily apparent when we look at the gematric sums of these two fundamental words in Hebrew and Greek.

Aληθεια = Truth = 64

אמת = Truth = 441

Both these words, Aletheia in Greek and Amet in Hebrew are the strongest words for truth in their respective languages. Mathematically they share a very important feature in that they are both squared numbers.

8 x 8 = 64

21 x 21 = 441

8² = Truth 21² = Truth

In the context of theological gematria a square always means the truth. This is also its ancient and everyday meaning. The ancient stone masons who built the Temple used a square to correct their work as does a carpenter or even the son of a carpenter. They are tools to make things true. In the carpentry trades today this is still said, that when a measurement is adjusted to the square it is called ‘True.’

Looking at the psalms in the light of Biblical numerics we find something utterly spectacular when we treat the number of the psalm as a reference to gematria. Like saying that the 58th Psalm is a psalm of Jesus, since 58 is the ordinal sum of the Hebrew name Jesus.

Skeptics will say that the number of the psalm has was never meant to indicate anything other than its historical arrangement. This is true. What is also true, is that again and again we find that even the number of the psalm has an abundantly clear correlation to theological gematria.

Here are several examples:

Psalm 7 has 529 letters making a 23 x 23 square.

Psalm 3 plus Psalm 7 have 777 letters (see the Three Seven Fractal)

Psalm 52 the ordinal for Messiah has 289 letters making a 17 x 17 square.

Psalm 91 which the sum of the word Amen, meaning ‘It is true’ is a square of verses (16 or 4 squared) which has 112 words equal to the Lord God and 443 letters equal to the The Word of the gospel of John.

Psalm 86 plus Psalm 5 have 1,000 letters together making a perfect cube of 10 x 10 x 10. Where the number 86 is the number of the Hebrew word for God Elohim and 5 is the letter ‘H’ which is the Hebrew definitive article or the ‘THE’, making a cube of ‘The God.’

Following this logic, we can assume that Psalm 86, being that it is the psalm of God in this light, should have some strong underlying mathematical pattern. And indeed we see that it does.

The 86th Psalm has exactly 576 letters. That number to a Hebrew practitioner of gematria has no strong designation but to a speaker of Greek it has a very strong meaning attached, in that of the word Pneuma, the Greek word for ‘Spirit.’

Πνευμα = Spirit = 576

This is the root word for the English pneumatic or pneumonia and in the Bible it is the word used for the Holy Spirit. What is fundamental about this word in this context is that it is also a square.

24 x 24 = 576

24²

The number 24 is especially important in Greek gematria as it is the number of letters in the Greek alphabet. Some scholars believe that the 24 Elders of the book of Revelation is really a reference to the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet. Ancient practitioners of gematria also noted that where Christ calls himself the Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, meaning the entire alphabet, His name is also equivalent to this same sum.

Ιησους = Jesus = 888

8 + 8 + 8 = 24

Knowing this, we now have all the tools and squares we need to properly analyze the square of God of Psalm 86. A square of 576 letters can be perfectly subdivided into a number of smaller squares of 8 x 8 eight each, making nines time the truth!

It is this breakdown into the pattern of the 8’s of the name Jesus that is the key that unlocks the puzzle of Psalm 86. For when we look at the psalm in this pattern, that is in the name of Jesus, we see a prophecy in the numbers that defies scientific explanation.

The lettering here reads opposite, in right to left, but has no effect on the mathematics.

The 888 pattern that composes each side of the square reveals a cross within, a cross that when tallied in the ordinal numeration comes to 3,168, the exact same number for the Lord Jesus Christ in Greek.

Κυριος Ιησους Χριστος = Lord Jesus Christ = 3,168

Cross of Psalm 86 = 3,168

If we count the number cells in the cross we find to number at 320. This number is important for two reasons. The first is that it is the ordinal of the Word of Jesus Christ. The second is that it is the sum of both Jesus Christ in Hebrew ordinal and Greek ordinal.

Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΙΗΣΟΥ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ = The Word of Jesus Christ = 320

יהושע המשיח = Jesus Christ = 115

ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ = Jesus Christ = 205

115 + 205 = 320

Looking then at the central column of this cross we find another code, once again in the Greek. In this context these numbers are very clear to what they indicate.

The Sums of the Central Column

People may wonder why God would place Greek codes in the Hebrew Scripture. That is a perfectly legitimate question, for we see this sort of Greek in Hebrew and Hebrew in Greek pattern all throughout the scripture. The simple answer as to why God would hide Greek codes in Hebrew text is that He is hiding the codes from the Hebrew readers.

What is fundamental about a code is that it is a code. And what is a code? It is a secret language that hides its secret from the public gaze. The public gaze here is the Hebrew reader.

Jewish scholars have scoured their holy writing for centuries and centuries looking for patterns and hidden codes. Doubtless, some are aware of the squares in the psalms, but unless they practiced Greek gematria, they could not make heads or tales of the numbers. This is why these codes have stayed hidden for all this time. Greeks looked only for Greek codes and Hebrews looked only for Hebrew codes. It is only when you have both that the Key of David is revealed.

THE MEANING OF THE PSALM

Knowing now of this magnificent code that runs through the entirety of the psalm, we have cause to reread the psalm in the light of that cross. The obvious meaning is of course that the God Elohim of the Old Testament is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament.

We can see that emphasized in several of the verses that speak to the mercy of God.

Psalm 86:15

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.

What could be more merciful than a God who comes to earth and sacrifices His own life so to save the lives of others? God’s mercy is found in the simple shape of the cross, a cross that means salvation.

The final verse of the psalm is something of a prophecy:

Psalm 86:17

Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, has helped me and comforted me.

David is the author of this psalm and he asks the Lord for a token to show his enemies that they might be ashamed. In the light of history, this verse refers now to the enemies of God and the enemies of Christianity, the one true religion. That token asked for thousands of years ago in the highlands of Israel by King David himself, has now been revealed in the pattern of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, that prophecy has been fulfilled.
