anyone know about gematria?
here's a link Gematria - Wikipedia
it's interesting that jesus and messiah = 444 and mark of beast = 666
so what do you guys think?
An example of biblical exegesis with gematria can be found in the fifth of the Ten Commandments, where the children of Israel are instructed,

Honour thy father and thy mother: Ex.20:12a

How do you honour your parents?

If we examine the gematria of the Hebrew word for honour, kabed, we find that it has the value 26

kabed (honour)
כבד
11. כ כּ Kaf/Khaf 20
2. ב בּ Bet/Vet 2
4. ד Dalet 4
Σ 26

The gematria of the thematically similar word for love, ahabah, is 13

ahabah (love)
אהבה
1. א Alef 1
5. ה He 5
2. ב בּ Bet/Vet 2
5. ה He 5
Σ 13

26 = 2*13

Since the gematria of kabed is twice as large as that of ahabah, it is concluded that one honours one's parents by showing them a double portion of love.

The word gematria comes from the Greek word geometry. Jews interpret the meaning of the numerical system as the dessert of wisdom. It is easy to see how gematria confirms this view of things.

In Proverbs it says that G-d created the heavens and the earth in wisdom

The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. Pro 3:19 KJV

Heaven and earth were created through wisdom and insight.

The numerical value of all 7 words

In the beginning G-d created the heavens and the earth Gen 1:1
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ


Total = 2701
Original Text
Hebrew Value Inc
בראשית 913
ברא 203
אלהים 86
את 401
השמים 395
ואת 407
הארץ 296

is 2701, the product of two factors 73*37, which corresponds to the Standard (S) and Ordinal (O) value of the word wisdom

chokmah (wisdom)
חָכְמָה
8. ח Chet 8
11. כ Kaf 20
13. מ Mem 40
5. ה He 5
Σ 37(O)..... Σ 73(S)

Further in Jeremiah

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. Jer 10:12

and the Psalms

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. Ps 136,5


The 2100 year old Jerusalem translation of the proto-verse in Aramaic reads

With wisdom G-d created the heavens and the earth

Wisdom is the fundamental building block of the universe. It finds its most complex revelation in the processes of life.

The connection between the gematria and the text is obvious, the intended message can be read out: with wisdom G-d created the heavens and the earth.

2701 is the 73rd triangular number and the symmetrical numero-geometric structure that the words in Genesis 1:1 conceal.
