Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

John 21

The theme of the Number 1224 begins in the prime Number 17 (Sacrifice) which is perfected its triangular form Sum(17) = 153 (The Passover). This then becomes the foundation of the eternal Covenant (B'rit) = 612 = 4 (Blood/Death cf. Genesis 4) x 153 implying the death of the Passover Lamb and His Blood upon the Doorposts. This is the Net () that caught the 153 fish repesenting all "whom thou [The Lord God] hast given me." Of course, we must not forget that the fundamental Hebrew verb "to fish" is also sums to 17. Glory!

Factors: 8 x 9 x 17
