Mark 4:14, the sower sows the word

ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει
gematria 2368

I learned from
https://bijbelcode.nl/666_2368_EN.htm

2368 = 64 x 37

37 the number Vernon Jenkins kicked on, transposing it from Hebrew to Greek

That you might think that the number 37 is about the inner reality of the word, like a kernel




Frank Colijn has another interesting find, viz.
Revelation 13:18,
καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ
= Hebrew וּמִסְפָּרוֹ שֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים וָשֵׁשׁ
= 2701

But the "vav" of וששים maybe shouldn't belong there

1Kings 10:14 has שֵׁ֥שׁ מֵא֛וֹת שִׁשִּׁ֥ים וָשֵׁ֖שׁ כִּכַּ֥ר זָהָֽב

But also (...) behavior full of love becomes copied by Satan. 2Cor.11:14 describes it like this: And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

https://www.esv.org/2+Corinthians+11/
12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

[Geert van den Bos]

So I would say that Mark 4:14 ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει = 2368
and also that Revelation 5:12 Ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον = 2701
is mere coincidence.

Mark 4:14

Mark 4:20,
καὶ ἐκεῖνοί εἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν

ἓν ἑκατόν = Hebrew "meah sh'arim" = 666

Mark 4:20,

ἓν ἑκατόν = Hebrew "meah sh'arim" = 666

Mark 4:20 highlights fertile soil: “Those sown on good soil are those who hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.” Acceptance here is inward appropriation leading to visible fruitfulness, distinguishing genuine discipleship from superficial hearing.


Hebrew "kibbeil" root of "kabbalah" (= 137 https://kabbalahstudent.com/the-magic-of-137/ )

καρποφορέω
https://biblehub.com/greek/2592.htm
In the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:23; Mark 4:20; Luke 8:15) fruitfulness is the definitive mark of the “good soil.” Hearing, understanding, clinging to, and persevering in the word culminates in a multiplied harvest. Jesus thus assigns fruit-bearing to the sphere of receptivity to divine revelation, not human cleverness.

ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν
augmenting in triangular way

10+20 = 30
10+20+30 = 60
10+20+30+40 = 100

alluded to in Genesis 26:12-13

And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year a hundred fold, and the Lord blessed him. And the man became great, and he grew constantly greater until he had grown very great.

LXX Ἔσπειρεν δὲ Ισαακ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ ἑκατοστεύουσαν κριθήν· εὐλόγησεν δὲ αὐτὸν κύριος. καὶ ὑψώθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ προβαίνων μείζων ἐγίνετο, ἕως οὗ μέγας ἐγένετο σφόδρα·

Mark 4:20,
καὶ ἐκεῖνοί εἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν

καρποφορέω to bring forth fruit
https://biblehub.com/greek/2592.htm

= Hebrew "asah pri" make fruit

used in Genesis 1:11-12

And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, seed yielding herbs and fruit trees producing fruit according to its kind in which its seed is found, on the earth," and it was so. And the earth gave forth vegetation, seed yielding herbs according to its kind, and trees producing fruit, in which its seed is found, according to its kind, and God saw that it was good.

fruit trees producing fruit = עֵ֣ץ פְּרִ֞י עֹ֤שֶׂה פְּרִי֙
trees producing fruit = עֵ֣ץ עֹ֤שֶׂה פְּרִי֙

So the earth did'nt do what God had asked from her in bringing forth trees that weren't already fruits themselves, and yet, or even because of that, he saw it to be good. וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב "vayar elohim ki-tov"

The word "tov" being the 153rd word from the beginning.

LXX has
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Βλαστησάτω ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου, σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος καὶ καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν, οὗ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ κατὰ γένος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως. καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου, σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος καὶ καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν, οὗ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ κατὰ γένος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι καλόν.

From which you can learn that Mark didn't use LXX, but was inspired from Hebrew scripture (Like also John with his 153 large fish)

Τεκνία μου, ταῦτα γράφω ὑμῖν ἵνα μὴ ἁμάρτητε. καὶ ἐάν τις ἁμάρτῃ, παράκλητον ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν δίκαιον· καὶ αὐτὸς ἱλασμός ἐστιν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, οὐ περὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

And the Lord regretted that He had made man upon the earth

Rashi: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cd ... rashi/true
נֶהְפְכָה מַחְשַׁבְתּוֹ שֶׁל מָקוֹם מִמִּדַּת רַחֲמִים לְמִדַּת הַדִּין
The thought of the Omnipresent turned from the measure of mercy to the meausure of justice. It entered His thoughts to reconsider what to do with man, whom He had made upon the earth.

which refers to his comment on Genesis 1:1, https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cd ... rashi/true
(...) in the beginning it was His intention to create it with the measure of justice, but he perceived that the world would not endure; so He preceded it with the meausure of mercy, allying it with the measure of justice, and that is the reason it is written:“on the day the Lord God made earth and heaven.”

It was Satan who had convinced God that the creation of man would turn into a disaster and that he would regret if he would make man upon the earth (at the moment God said : "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" Genesis 1:26)

Bereishit Rabbah 5:9
https://www.sefaria.org/Bereshit_Rabbah.5.9?lang=bi

“God said: Let the earth sprout grass, vegetation yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in their kind, in which there is its seed, upon the earth, and it was so” (Genesis 1:11).
“God said: Let the earth sprout grass” – it is taught in the name of Rabbi Natan: There were three who were brought to judgment, but there were four who emerged liable. They are as follows: Adam, Eve, and the serpent were brought to judgment, and the ground was cursed along with them, as it is stated: “Cursed is the ground on your account” (Genesis 3:17) (...) Why was it cursed? Rabbi Yehuda ben Rabbi Shalom and Rabbi Pinḥas, Rabbi Yehuda ben Rabbi Shalom said: Because it violated its command, as the Holy One blessed be He said to it: “Let the earth sprout grass, [vegetation yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in their kind]” – just as the fruit is edible, so should the tree be edible. But, it [the earth] did not do so, but rather, “The earth produced grass…[and trees bearing fruit]” (Genesis 1:12) – the fruit is edible but the tree is not edible.

edible = נֶאֱכָל

Genesis 1:29,
And God said, "Behold, I have given you every seed bearing herb, which is upon the surface of the entire earth, and every tree that has seed bearing fruit; it will be yours for food.
