REVELATION OF THE 24 ELDERS (Part 1)

By Leo Tavares


The book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, is clearly the most mathematical book of the Bible at its surface text. It highlights a mysterious imagery of 24 Elders surrounding the throne of God and 4 “Living Creatures” at 4 points around the throne. In this two-part study, I will demonstrate how this numerical cipher actually points to a mathematical pattern that unites fundamental aspects of the natural world, the Fibonacci number series, Prime/Composite numbers and Geometry. This will ultimately vindicate the ancient tradition that reality itself is rooted in a mathematical mind (mathematics entails GEOMETRY, which ultimately necessitates VISION, which then ultimately necessitates a MIND). Furthermore, it will serve as a mathematical vindication of Biblical Theism and the divinity of Jesus Christ.

I have divided this study into seven main sections. Part 1 will cover the first six sections and Part 2 will cover the seventh section, which will take us to the culmination of the entire study. The seven main sections are as follows: 

    1) Mathematics In Revelation

    2) Genesis To Revelation

    3) The Fibonacci Series

    4) The 12 + 12 Pattern

    5) The Fibonacci Cycle Of 60

    6) The 9 × 9 Multiplication Table

    7) The Hexagon Of Jesus Christ

MATHEMATICS IN REVELATION

The book of Revelation, being the final book of the Bible, is the culmination of Biblical Revelation. It openly refers to the number 666 in Revelation 13:18, which is immediately followed by a reference to 144,000 in the very next verse (Revelation 14:1). Moreover, Revelation 21:17 gives the length of the walls of New Jerusalem as 144 cubits. Of course, ancient Christian tradition maintains that the book of Revelation was divinely inspired. Incredibly, the highlighted references to 144 and 666 actually confirms that the traditional author of the book of Revelation (the Apostle John, who was exiled on the island of Patmos) was divinely inspired by the Biblical God: 

• The sum of the first 144 decimal digits of Pi (after the decimal point) = Precisely 666

144 divided by 666 = An infinitely repeating cycle of 6 × 6 × 6

Pi is the ratio between the circumference/diameter of a CIRCLE (a fundamental shape of creation that is also a fundamental shape in the mathematics of Revelation, which we will see later). It produces an infinite sequence of nonrepeating digits. Here are the first 144 decimal digits of Pi, which sums to 666:

    Pi = 

 3.141592653589793238462643

 38327950288419716939937510

 58209749445923078164062862

 08998628034825342117067982

 14808651328230664709384460

 9550582231725359

TOTAL SUM (after decimal point) = 666

 144/666 = .216216216216 ... to infinity

            216 = 6 × 6 × 6

   Observe the following as well:

144 + (6 × 6 × 6) = The number of degrees in a perfect CIRCLE (360)

• Sum of first 144 decimal digits of Pi = 666

Contrary to popular opinion, the number 666 is not an “evil number”. No number can be inherently “evil” and is necessarily rooted in the mind of God (the source of all mathematics). In reality, the number 666 is used in the book of Revelation to represent Satan attempting to usurp the authority of God over man and creation. This is because the number 666 actually plays a significant role in creation itself and points to man, who is the culmination of the natural creation:

• The Bible opens (in Genesis 1:1) as an introduction to 6 days of creation and 6 days = 144 hours

• The Ascending/Descending cubic sum of 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 5^3 + 4^3 + 3^3 + 2^3 + 1^3 = 666

The Old Testament was revealed in Hebrew and the New Testament was revealed in Greek. Both Hebrew and Greek are ALPHANUMERIC LANGUAGES, which means each Hebrew/Greek letter has a numerical value (hence, every Biblical word or phrase has a set numerical value). This is an ancient practice of both the Hebrew alphabet and the Greek alphabet (known as “Gematria”).

There are two primary methods of assigning numerical values to the letters in the Biblical Hebrew/Greek alphabets: The STANDARD method and the ORDINAL method

Here are the STANDARD values of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet:
