New Jerusalem Cube

[Stephen]

Morning, Afternoon, Evening All!

I would like to share with you some things that I have discovered from the New Jerusalem cube. There is a tremendous amount to get through, so I will do it by installments over the next few months or more.

I set out to analyse the NJ cube from a numero-geometrical perspective. There are two basic principles that I apply to the measuring of the cubic structure:
(1) I assume that the cube is of the 37th magnitude, and then set out to test this hypothesis.
(2) I place the names of the twelve sons of Israel at the twelve gates, and use the gematria of their names to test for any meaningful numerical patterns.

In relation to (1), I chose to test the number 37 because of the leading role this number appears to have in Scripture. I assume that this might also apply to structure, and so test for any signs of evidence to support this conjecture.
The initial evidence comes in the form of the numbers 12 and 144, which are seen to be structural numbers within the NJ cube (Rev. 21:12,17). This initial evidence is not strong, but is something to start building a case from.
The number 12 relates to 37 through the prime index. 37 is the 12th prime number. Then when we consider the square of 12, which is 144, we find that the square of 37, which is 1369, has a perimeter of 144. There are implications to this feature, which may or may not be important. They are:
(1a) the 37th square forms part of a pythagorean triple along with the 12th square, thus 12^2 + 35^2 = 37^2.
(1b) the number 144 comes from what could be construed as a perimeter measurement of a square from the text (Rev. 21:16,17).
As stated, this initial evidence is not strong, but there is enough in it to proceed further with the investigation.

In relation to (2), I base the placement of the twelve tribes upon the pattern given at Ezekiel 48:31-34. The reasons for choosing this arrangement are:
(2a) Ezekiel is talking about a future city that appears to harmonise with that of the NJ.
(2b) Ezekiel uses the four compass points to orient the gates of the city in his vision (Eze. 48:31-34). The same strategy applies to mapping out the gates of the NJ (Rev. 21:12,13). Both use the twelve tribes for the gate structures, with Ezekiel being the more specific.

When placing the gates, I employ a strategy in working with a three-dimensional cubic construct. Instead of placing 12 gates around a square, I assume that the topography of the cube plays some part in defining what the gates are. My assumption is that the 8 vertices of the cube represent 8 gates. Therefore, the remaining 4 gates I assume are to be understood as a composite nuclear vertex, right at the very heart of the cube. In my next post, I will give a little more detail of this strategy.

You stole that from Truman's World, didn't ya?


I would like to share with you some things that I have discovered from the New Jerusalem cube. There is a tremendous amount to get through, so I will do it by installments over the next few months or more.

I set out to analyse the NJ cube from a numero-geometrical perspective. There are two basic principles that I apply to the measuring of the cubic structure:
(1) I assume that the cube is of the 37th magnitude, and then set out to test this hypothesis.
(2) I place the names of the twelve sons of Israel at the twelve gates, and use the gematria of their names to test for any meaningful numerical patterns.

In relation to (1), I chose to test the number 37 because of the leading role this number appears to have in Scripture. I assume that this might also apply to structure, and so test for any signs of evidence to support this conjecture.

I agree whole-heartedly (The Heart = HaLev = 37) that the number 37 does play a "leading role" in the numbers of the Bible, and I think we might learn something interesting about the cube of 37, but its pretty hard to imagine that it would have anything to do with the New Jerusalem of the Bible since there is no way to confirm the connections.


The initial evidence comes in the form of the numbers 12 and 144, which are seen to be structural numbers within the NJ cube (Rev. 21:12,17). This initial evidence is not strong, but is something to start building a case from.
I'm not sure why we would want to "build a case" for something the Bible doesn't clearly teach. For example, Vernon has done some excellent work "building a case" for the integrated alphanumeric/geometric structure of Genesis 1:1 on the rock solid foundation of the text of Scripture. There is no "speculation" there at all. That's the kind of thing I find truly valuable. Its almost like I'm allergic to speculation about Bible topics.


The number 12 relates to 37 through the prime index. 37 is the 12th prime number. Then when we consider the square of 12, which is 144, we find that the square of 37, which is 1369, has a perimeter of 144. There are implications to this feature, which may or may not be important. They are:
(1a) the 37th square forms part of a pythagorean triple along with the 12th square, thus 12^2 + 35^2 = 37^2.
(1b) the number 144 comes from what could be construed as a perimeter measurement of a square from the text (Rev. 21:16,17).
As stated, this initial evidence is not strong, but there is enough in it to proceed further with the investigation.
I think the relation between the perimeter of 37^2 and 12^2 is interesting. There is a very strong link between 37, 73, and 12 via

37 = 6 x 6 + 1
73 = 2 x 6 x 6 + 1

This an essential aspect of their integration in Genesis 1:1 and "sixness" of the geometry (hexagon and star numbers) which coheres perfectly with the plain text which speaks of Creation in Six Days.


In relation to (2), I base the placement of the twelve tribes upon the pattern given at Ezekiel 48:31-34. The reasons for choosing this arrangement are:
(2a) Ezekiel is talking about a future city that appears to harmonise with that of the NJ.
(2b) Ezekiel uses the four compass points to orient the gates of the city in his vision (Eze. 48:31-34). The same strategy applies to mapping out the gates of the NJ (Rev. 21:12,13). Both use the twelve tribes for the gate structures, with Ezekiel being the more specific.
How does Ezekiel's Temple "harmonize" with the NJ? The dimensions are totally different.


When placing the gates, I employ a strategy in working with a three-dimensional cubic construct. Instead of placing 12 gates around a square, I assume that the topography of the cube plays some part in defining what the gates are. My assumption is that the 8 vertices of the cube represent 8 gates. Therefore, the remaining 4 gates I assume are to be understood as a composite nuclear vertex, right at the very heart of the cube. In my next post, I will give a little more detail of this strategy.

This surely will prove to be a very interesting exercise, but I can not imagine how it could have anything to do with the New Jerusalem mentioned in the Bible, since the construction is entirely ad hoc.

What's your opinion on this question? Do you believe the NJ Cube actually represents the NJ in the Bible?

Hi Stephen and Richard,

I'll be interested in reading any finding about the New Jerusalem Cube. The reason is because a few years ago I was toying with a related concept - a New Jerusalem/New Testament relationship in which the 27 books of the New Testament are represented graphically by a 3x3x3 cube. This also requires much speculation. :D However, it had enough interesting properties that I became convinced there was a very meaningful pattern there and I just wasn't getting to the heart of it. I may not have the most interesting configuration.

In my configuration, I had the first 6 books as the middle of the 6 sides, Revelation as the center, the Epistles on top (with Romans in middle), the Apostles on bottom (with Acts in middle) and the Gospels and John/Jude books around the belt. The 8 books beginning with 1 and 2 were used as the corners. If anyone thinks they can explore this concept and develop it more fully, I strongly urge them to do so since it seemed to come up with brilliant patterns, but I'm not nearly as good at getting this stuff all down on paper and explaining it. It's difficult to believe it's not at least slightly inspired.

Now back to the gematria conversation. ;)

Hi David!

I can see that I gotta be careful throwing that cold water around too much - it is meant to temper the steal, not put out the fire!

Speculation is not all bad - indeed, we really should let our minds wander free, but it is only on the Rock of Scripture that we can hope to stand firm and secure. Your "speculation" for example, does build on the Rock in the sense that there really are 27 books in the NT. And given that God uses the Cube in the design of the Devir, which was an alternate designation of the Holy of holies that is derived from davar (word, or to speak) and which is transalted as "oracle", we have a very interesting suggesting that God may be speaking from the oracle of the NT cube. If that's speculation, its the kind of speculation that I feel alright with.


In my configuration, I had the first 6 books as the middle of the 6 sides, Revelation as the center, the Epistles on top (with Romans in middle), the Apostles on bottom (with Acts in middle) and the Gospels and John/Jude books around the belt. The 8 books beginning with 1 and 2 were used as the corners. If anyone thinks they can explore this concept and develop it more fully, I strongly urge them to do so since it seemed to come up with brilliant patterns, but I'm not nearly as good at getting this stuff all down on paper and explaining it. It's difficult to believe it's not at least slightly inspired.

Now back to the gematria conversation. ;)
The idea is truly intriguing. My only challenge is the arbitrariness of the positioning of the books. Since there are trillions of possibilities, it is exceedingly unlikely that we would just "stumble on the correct pattern by chance. Now you do have some interesting reasons and regularities that you used in the pattern. I think most people would grant that there are few books that would merit the central position, so it would be Romans or Revelation, or may John because of the Logos. But the choices do seem few. And you found a principle for the 8 corners - it is always best if you do things on principle. Of course, an alternate principle would be a representative book from each of the 8 NT authors is placed on a corner.

Well, I don't expect to "figure it all out" as I write this post, but I do think that it is definitely worth pursuing.

Thanks David!

NJ Cube - Part Two

The strategy I employed for placement of the twelve tribes within the NJ cube originates from Ezekiel 48:31-34. In Ezekiel, these twelve tribes are divided into four groups, each of three members. They are grouped according to the four compass points, and are enounced in a very specific order. This consecutive order, with the gematria values for each name bracketed, is as follows:
(1) N: (a) Reuben (259), (b)Judah (30), (c)Levi (46).
(2) E: (a)Joseph (156), (b)Benjamin (162), (c)Dan (54).
(3) S: (a)Simeon (466), (b)Issachar (830), (c)Zebulun (101).
(4) W: (a)Gad (7), (b)Asher (501), (c)Naphtali (570).

Before continuing, let us take a brief time-out to evaluate where we got the gematria values from, and the role of the number 37 in the very basics of the tribal values, above.
The gematria values for the twelve tribes can be accessed at the page below:
http://www.whatabeginning.com/Breastplate/Coracle1/MS_App1.htm
The role of the number 37 can be seen as a basic motivating principle of the tribal values through simple observation.
First, we observe that the initial name, Reuben, has a value of 259 = 37 x 7.
Second, we observe that the first names for each of the gate structures, identified as (a) in each case, sum to 888 = 37 x 24.
Last, we observe that all twelve names sum to 3182 = 37 x 86.
We will return to these numbers later. Suffice to say that they offer further evidence for the conjecture that we might decode the numerical secrets of the NJ cube by application of the integer 37.

Resuming with the gate structures for the four compass points, I took the position of arranging each of them into triangle structures. This strategy suggested itself due to the fact that there are three names in each of the four gate structures. Thus, four triangles were created.
Imagining four triangles, each with vertex points (x), (y) and (z), I plotted the names of the tribes by substituting all the (a) points for the (x) points, all the (b) points for the (y) points, and all the (c) points for the (z) points.
Unfortunately, I have zero ability to represent this graphically, which is why I'm having to type instructions for orienting the gates. But if you've read carefully, it is a relatively simple matter to figure out. In the absence of a diagram, might I suggest getting a piece of paper, drawing four separate triangles, and then plotting the tribes at each vertex point accordingly, as per instructions, above.

We now have four triangles, with the twelve tribes at the twelve vertices. In the next installment, I will explain how these four triangles are integrated to give us the structure of our cube. If you go to post #1 of this thread, you might be able to work this out for yourself anyway.

Stephen

PS: In answer to post #2, I do not know if this numero-geometrical exercise with the NJ cube has any physical relationship to the actual NJ of the Bible. I doubt it very much. I would look at it more as a puzzle. You find an artefact, have little idea what it actually means, toy around with some ideas, find they work, these lead into other ideas, and finally you've found some meaning from the artefact. But this whole process of finding meaning from the artefact is not to be confused with the artefact itself. Perhaps the best part of that description I just gave is the 'toying around' part. That pretty much describes the entire process I use in relationship to the NJ cube. What I find from the NJ cube is merely a supplement to what the NJ is, and nothing more than that.

PSS: If you look down to post #7 of this thread, you will see some diagrams that Richard provided to help with the visualisation of this structure. All the reader need do now is swap the (a) and the (c) values around from this post, above, in order to map them on the four triangle structures. Thanks for the graphics, Richard!

Hey Stephen,

Since you've been feeding my cow so well, I thought I'd pay you back with a little artistic gift for your presentation:

Four triangles with the vertices labeled a,b,c combined to from a cube.

[shalag]

The first diagram this perspective reminds me of 'windmill' blades and brings to mind the following Scripture.

Revelation (66) 7:1 (8) = 74 (LAMED/12)
After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

Greetings to the Graphics Department!

Thank you so much for putting those graphics together at post #7. They are a great help for explicating the text at post #5. For any readers who might be interested in following this thread, I would recommend going back over posts #5 and #7 in order to work out the details of this structure, as they have thus far been presented.

Dear Graphics Department, might we of the Quarrying Section ask another favour of you? We were wondering if you might be able to do an update of the two graphics for us. It would be an immense help in reducing the text that would need to be written, as a picture surely paints a thousand words. Here are the slight amendments that we envisage:
(1) In the first graphic, would it be possible to re-label the vertices? Instead of all triangles being labeled a, b, and c, would it be too much trouble to differentiate them by labeling them say: [a, b, i], [c, d, i], [e, f, i], and [g, h, i]?
(2) From the changes in (1), above, could the second diagram then be amended to show the 8 external vertices re-labeled as a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h; and the four points in the centre re-labeled as i?
These changes would facilitate a simple transfer of tribal values to their correct vertex points on the cube, and make it easier for the reader to follow (and for the writer to proceed!).

Thanks again for the graphics, Richard. They are pretty much exactly what is required to progress this thing.:yo:

From the rockface, your bro in Christ,

NJ Cube - Part Three

OK, I'm gonna try and progress this thing using the diagrams Richard provided the other day (see post #7 of this thread). Note that I am going to use the following abbreviations for the tribes from now on:

Reuben (R) - Simeon (S) - Levi (L)
Judah (Ju) - Issachar (I) - Zebulun (Z)
Gad (G) - Asher (A) - Dan (D)
Naphtali (N) - Joseph (Jo) - Benjamin (B)

As concerns the four triangles, here is how they ought to be orientated, starting clockwise top left:

Upper left triangle (North)
c = R = 259
a = Ju = 30
b = L = 46

Upper right triangle (West)
c = G = 7
a = A = 501
b = N = 570


Lower right triangle (South)
c = S = 466
a = I = 830
b = Z = 101

Lower left triangle (East)
c = Jo = 156
a = B = 162
b = D = 54

Applying these details to Richard's cubic diagram, we have the following values for the four vertices marked a. Proceeding clockwise from top left, we have:

Ju (30) + A (501) + I (830) + B (162) = 1523

The values for the four vertices marked b, proceeding clockwise from top left, are:

L (46) + N (570) + Z (101) + D (54) = 771

The four central, or nuclear, values, marked c, are:

R (259) + G (7) + S (466) + Jo (156) = 888

The really interesting part of these three sums - 1523, 771, 888 - is that they are reflected in the MS breastplate. This can be viewed at the following link:

http://www.whatabeginning.com/Breastplate/Coracle2/P.htm

The relevant graphic is figure 2.1(b). There we see the four breastplate rows have sums of: 771, 961, 562, 888.
Both 771 and 888 are found on the NJ cube and on the MS breastplate.
Importantly, the two central rows of the MS breastplate sum as 961 + 562 = 1523. This is the same sum as that of the four central tribes named in the four gate structures enounced at Ezekiel 48:31-34, on which the NJ cube depends (see post #5 of this thread for confirmation). The notion of the centre being equal to 1523 is common to both the MS breastplate names, and the NJ cube names enunciated at Ezekiel 48:31-34.

A good way of visualising the point, above, would be to use the breastplate matrix as a template on which to overlay the tribes as enounced at Ezekiel 48:31-34. The first column would have the names R, G, S, Jo = 888. The second, and central, column would have the names Ju, A, I, B = 1523. The last column would have the names L, N, Z, D = 771. These could then be placed alongside the MS breastplate for comparison. The likenesses in sums are striking, and more than merely suggestive of a common designer.

I will give more on the NJ cube when I have more time to write. There's still a very, very long way to go. Next time, I will restrict the data to features relating to the centre, which sums to 888.

Stephen

PS: Richard, any possibility of an updated graphic to reflect the data above? Or a pair of breastplate grids to reflect the comparisons made above between the MS breastplate and the tribes as ordered at Ezekiel 48:31-34?

[Richard Amiel McGough]

OK, I'm gonna try and progress this thing using the diagrams Richard provided the other day (see post #7 of this thread). Note that I am going to use the following abbreviations for the tribes from now on:

Reuben (R) - Simeon (S) - Levi (L)
Judah (Ju) - Issachar (I) - Zebulun (Z)
Gad (G) - Asher (A) - Dan (D)
Naphtali (N) - Joseph (Jo) - Benjamin (B)

Lower right triangle (South)

a = I = 830
b = Z = 101

Lower left triangle (East)
c = Jo = 156
a = B = 162
b = D = 54


Hi Stephen,

The Graphics Department found a little time to produce this. Let me know if you would like it modified in any way:

http://www.biblewheel.com/images/NJCube_Named.gif



Applying these details to Richard's cubic diagram, we have the following values for the four vertices marked a. Proceeding clockwise from top left, we have:

Ju (30) + A (501) + I (830) + B (162) = 1523

The values for the four vertices marked b, proceeding clockwise from top left, are:

L (46) + N (570) + Z (101) + D (54) = 771

The four central, or nuclear, values, marked c, are:

R (259) + G (7) + S (466) + Jo (156) = 888

The really interesting part of these three sums - 1523, 771, 888 - is that they are reflected in the MS breastplate. This can be viewed at the following link:

http://www.whatabeginning.com/Breastplate/Coracle2/P.htm

The relevant graphic is figure 2.1(b). There we see the four breastplate rows have sums of: 771, 961, 562, 888.
Both 771 and 888 are found on the NJ cube and on the MS breastplate.
So this means that there are two independent ways to arrive at these sums. That is curious.

L (46) + N (570) + Z (101) + D (54) = 771 = L(46) + S(466) + R(259)

Eliminating L from both sides:

N (570) + Z (101) + D (54) = 725 = S(466) + R(259)


Importantly, the two central rows of the MS breastplate sum as 961 + 562 = 1523. This is the same sum as that of the four central tribes named in the four gate structures enounced at Ezekiel 48:31-34, on which the NJ cube depends (see post #5 of this thread for confirmation). The notion of the centre being equal to 1523 is common to both the MS breastplate names, and the NJ cube names enunciated at Ezekiel 48:31-34.
OK - so we have another dependency between the values of the names:

Ju (30) + A (501) + I (830) + B (162) = 1523 = Z(101) + I(830) + J(30) + D(54) + A(501) + G(7)

Eliminating common names from both sides reveals another relation between the tribe names:

B(162) = Z(101) + D(54) + G(7)

It would be interesting to analyze the set of tribe names for all such relations and compare the results with the expected value for a set of 12 numbers.

NJ Cube - Part Four

I would refer the reader to post #11 of this thread, where Richard has provided excellent graphic support for the case as it has been developed thus far. Again, many thanks to Richard for this. After having had this diagram sitting around in my notebooks for the last three or four years, it's really exciting to see it finally graphicked. :yo:

This post will deal only with aspects relating to the centre of the NJ cube. Referring to the cube at post #11, we observe that the nucleus of the cube is a composite of four values - R, G, S, Jo - whose sum is 888. As we all know, this is the number of the name Iesous, Jesus, the name above all names! Jesus is at the heart of the NJ cube. Jesus is at the centre of creation. He sustains all things.

The nucleus of the cube is its centre, its heart. It is also a vertex, and this is a very important point that is always overlooked. All cubes have 8 external vertices. What is not apparent is that the centre is the ultimate vertex of the cube. It is the balancing point for all the tensions. It is the only point through which all 13 axes of symmetry pass. It is, in fact, the very origins and foundation of the cube. Without the central vertex, the entire structure collapses. These truths are relevant to our Lord, who is the origin and foundation of all creation, and at the centre of all creation, sustaining it by his will. That's what we are seeing symbolically in the NJ cube.

Because the cube has 9 vertices, of which 8 are external, we find the ratio of external vertices to total vertices to be: 8 / 9 = 0.888 recurring. In this, we find a reflection of the central value of 888.

The notation of the number eight in the form 8 did not exist for the early Hebrews and Greeks. They requisitioned their alphabets as alphanumeric sign systems, which is why we have gematria. For them, the number eight was represented by the letter cheth (Hebrews) and the letter eta (Greeks). However, the NJ cube suggests the inchoate form of the number 8 in several ways.

There are three sets of opposing squares on the NJ cube. These are:

(a) Ju, A, B, I (1523) and L, N, Z, D (771)
(b) Ju, L, D, B (292) and A, N, Z, I (2002)
(c) Ju, L, N, A (1147) and B, D, Z, I (1147)

We will analyse these square sums in a future post. For now, the point to note is that each paired square inverts to the centre. Thus, we have [Ju,A,B,I] inverting to the nucleus, in so doing forming a pyramid, with the nucleus as the capstone. This pyramid then 'exverts' back out from the nucleus to [L,N,Z,D] to form another pyramid. What we have from this combined process is a pair of opposite square bases inverting from the surface to form a pair of pyramids that share a common capstone, the nucleus. The shape of this interaction is represented by an hourglass-like figure, which itself is a stylised form of the number 8. As there are three such hourglass-like figures possible - which we see from (a), (b) and (c) - we have another symbolic reference to the number 888, this time in the very written notation the number takes. It also offers us more data from which to consider the meaning of the number 888 in relation to Jesus as our creator.

We observed that the four values forming the composite nucleus = 888. Here it is again:

R (259) + G (7) + S (466) + Jo (156) = 888

Amazingly, the product of the four values is itself a multiple of 888:

259 x 7 x 466 x 156 = 131,797,848 = 888 x 148,421

Further, we observe:

131,797,848 = 888 x 148,421 = 80808 x 1631

This product itself clusters as:

(131) + (797) + (848) = 1776 = 888 x 2

Three features of 888, and one of 80808, can be found from the four values that form the centre of the NJ cube. These strongly suggest design. Note, too, that the clustered form, above, consists of three palindromic strings: (131), (797) and (848). In one sense, these harmonise with the palindromic repdigit 888. This complex of ideas centres around the engaging notions of reflexivity, which we shall return to at another time when we examine the sums of the surface squares.

We recall earlier that the cube has, in fact, 9 vertices. We also observe that 12 names (values) are spread across these 9 vertices. The central vertex is composed of 4 names (values), while the 8 external vertices each harbour a single name (value). Let's apply some of this data to the product of the centre.

The product of the four central values is 131,797,848. There yet remain 8 values at the surface vertices. They are unable to produce a product on their own, as each vertex is occupied by just the single value. So we try a different strategy to incorporate them. Dividing the centre product number by a power of 10 for each of the 8 remaining vertices, we get:

131,797,848 x 10^-8 = 1.31797848

This last equation accounts for all 9 vertices. Applying then the 9 vertices to our equation as a power function, we get:

1.31797848^9 = 11.9998... approx. = 12

The power function brings us back to our original number of names (values), which is 12. It does so through a process that is surprisingly easy to follow. The product of the centre, reduced by 10^8, represents an exceedingly close approximation to the 9th root of 12.

That's all I have time for at the moment. Next time I will deal with features of the three sets of opposing squares, which were referred to earlier in this post. They also contain a wealth of stunning information.

NJ Cube - Part Five

Referring to post #11 of this thread, it was observed that there are three sets of opposing squares in the NJ cube, these being:

(a) Ju,A,B,I (1523) and L,N,Z,D (771)
(b) Ju,L,D,B (292) and A,N,Z,I (2002)
(C) Ju,L,N,A (1147) and B,D,Z,I (1147)

The sums of the first pair, (a), were seen to harmonise with the sums of the rows of the MS breastplate. Our attention now turns to the second pair, (b).

Palindromes

The first thing to notice about the pair 292 and 2002 is that they are both numerical palindromes. This feature coheres with the nuclear sum of 888, which is a repdigit palindrome. Thus, we have a palindromic triple in 292, 888 and 2002. Palindromes symbolise the complex notions of reflexivity (which includes the concept of symmetry), this particular triple furnishing us with yet further information on the subject. The reflexive properties of the number 888 have been dealt with in the previous post. To recap, these were represented by the number itself - 888 being palindromic - and the product of the centre - 131,797,848 - consisting of a triple of palindromes: (131), (797), (848).

The pair 292 and 2002 reveal the power of their reflexivity through the function of division, a power which relates directly to the act of creation. We therefore have the equation:

292 / 2002 = 0.145854145854145854145854...

The decimal string, above, recurs to infinity, and contains several intriguing properties. Let us first observe those that relate to the matter of reflexivity.

Ignoring the 0 and the decimal point,the numerical string itself is palindromic at place 1, and every six digits from there repeats as a palindrome. Thus we have:

1
1458541
1458541458541
1458541458541458541
1458541458541458541458541

This palindromic sequence goes on indefinitely. Moreover, two of these strings are themselves able to factorise palindromically:

1458541 = 101 x 14441
1458541458541458541 = 101 x 14441004540014441

The second of these factorisations - that for the 19-digit string, above - is revealing, for we see that the palindromic sequence is itself able to divide into two parts; these, along with their palindromic factorisations, being:

1458541 = 101 x 14441
45854 = 101 x 454

Comparing the data, we have:

1458541 = 101 x 14441
45854 = 101 x 454
1458541458541458541 = 101 x 14441004540014441

The profound numerical reflexivity of this repeating string is seen to be supported in key factorisations. This, however, is only half the tale to be told, for this repeating string bespeaks the creative act.

Comparison to Genesis 1:1

It will be observed that, apart from its reflexivity, the decimal string repeats itself after every six digits. Thus, ignoring the decimal, the repeating six-digit string is 145854. This number is remarkable in that it is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 1998 and 2701. The significance of these two numbers can be seen by referencing this link:

http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Creation.asp

Reading carefully, we observe that the Bible's opening verse may be divided into two sections, and then combined into a third section:

(p) The first five Hebrew words translate as, 'In the beginning God created the heaven', and sum to 1998 = 37 x 54. These words may be seen as the 'supernatural' part of the verse.
(q) The remaining two Hebrew words translate as, 'and the earth', and sum to 703 = 37 x 19.
(r) Thus the sum of the entire verse is 1998 + 703 = 2701 = 37 x 73.

All three of these numbers relate to the six-digit string 145854 in the NJ cube. This will be seen as we deconstruct the square value of 292, and then apply the results to (p), (q) and (r).

The square summing to 292 consists of two originary edges: the North edge is formed from [Ju,L] = 76; and the East edge is formed from [B,D] = 216. These combine to form the square sum: 76 + 216 = 292. Observe how these three sums are divided by the opposing square sum of 2002, with the resulting repeating decimals becoming integers:

76 / 2002 = 0.037962 recurring = 37962
216 / 2002 = 0.107892 recurring = 107892
292 / 2002 = 0.145854 recurring = 145854

The next step is to analyse the resultant integers, harmonising them with (p), (q) and (r):

37962 = 1998 x 19 = (p) x 19 = 703 x 54 = (q) x 54
107892 = 1998 x 54 = (p) x 54
145854 = 1998 x 73 = (p) x 73 = 2701 x 54 = (r) x 54

37962 = LCM of (p) and (q)
107892 = 37 x 54^2, where 54 = 37th composite number
145854 = LCM of (p) and (r)

The two square sums 292 and 2002 conceal the very act of creation, the numerical divisions of Genesis 1:1 lying latent until prised out through the very power of division. Interestingly, the number 54 is the common divisor to all three of the above numbers. 54 is the 37th composite number, and features on the square of 292 as the value of D.
This comparison to the Genesis 1:1 data will later be seen to persist through other aspects of the NJ cube. For now, let us take one last look at the six-digit string 145854, the number hidden within the interaction of the two NJ cube squares of 292 and 2002, and observe some other of its properties relating to 3 and 7, the digits of 37:

(y) 145854145854145854
(z) 145854145854145854145854145854145854145854

At (y), the six-digit string is concatenated 3 times. This large number is divisible by (p), (q) and (r).
At (z), the six-digit string is concatenated 7 times. This large number is divisible by (p) and (r). It is also divisible by the sum of the twelve tribes, 3182.
Clearly, concatenating the six-digit string 3 x 7 times will produce a number that is divisible by (p), (q), (r) and 3182.
Another point worth mentioning is that concatenation of the six-digit string 19 times produces a large number that has, in addition to being divisible by (p) and (r), the prime number 1111111111111111111 as one of its factors. This prime consists of 19 digits, all of 1, concatenated in a string, and is only the second time that a repdigit comes out as prime (the first being 11).
Furthermore, concatenation of the six-digit string 31 times produces a large number that is not only divisible by (p) and (r), but also has 373 as a factor.

That's all for the two squares of 292 and 2002. The next time I post I will focus on aspects of the third, and final, pair of opposing squares on the NJ cube. Both these squares will be seen to sum to 1147 (= 37 x 31), which itself is suggestive of both reflection and balance.

[Stephen]

NJ Cube - Part Six

The last pair of opposing squares to be considered for analysis in the NJ cube are the pair [Ju,L,N,A] and . Each square sums to 1147. Importantly, 1147 factorises as 31 x 37, where 37 is the magnitude number of the cube (as we shall later analyse in depth), and 31 is the value of the basic OT name for God, El. 31 also represents the concept of 3 and 1, which we find in the Triune God of the Bible.

'Prime' Multiples of 37

Both [Ju,L,N,A] and [B,D,Z,I] depict 'prime' multiples of the number 37 from the NJ cube. This means that neither set is able to be further subdivided into subgroups of multiples of 37. Only 24 of the 131 multiples of 37 to be found in the NJ cube have this property. By way of contrast, the centre of 888 - composed of [R,G,S,Jo] - is itself composite, breaking into two subsets that are multiples of 37: [R] = 259 = 37 x 7; and [G,S,Jo] = 629 = 37 x 17.

The fact that 1147 is a multiple of the cubic magnitude number of 37 leads us to some compelling findings.

The New Jerusalem

The NJ cube, as its name suggests, deals with the New Jerusalem. In Greek, this name is hay kainay Ierousalem - the New Jerusalem - which has a value of 961 = 31 x 31. Paring down each of the square faces of 1147 by the magnitude number of 37, we get:

1147 / 37 = 31

As there are two square faces, we have two sets of the number 31. Multiplying these, we get:

31 x 31 = 961 = The New Jerusalem

The Cube of 10

We can apply another method to our two sets of the number 31 to produce another result relating to the concept of a cube. This time, we use the property of addition:

31 + 31 = 62

We now have two numbers, these being 31 and 62. Concatenating these two numbers, with a decimal between them to separate them, gives us a close approximation to the cube of 10 through the process of squaring:

31.62^2 = 999.8244, which approx. = 1000 = 10^3

Note that this process of squaring relates back to where the numbers 31 and 62 were originally extracted from: a pair of squares, each of value 1147. The number 10 will later be seen to be intimately bound to the NJ cube.

The Cube of pi

A minor tweak in the methodology used to produce the approximation to the cube of 10, above, results in yet another very close cubic approximation, this time to the cube of pi.

Instead of breaking down the square face numbers of 1147 by the cubic magnitude factor of 37, we leave them as they are for now. We then apply the same process used in the previous example to extract a very accurate value for [B]pi:

1147 + 1147 = 2294

Concatenating the two resulting numbers - 1147 and 2294 - with a decimal between them to separate them, gives us:

1147.2294

Reducing this number by the cubic magnitude number 37 gives us:

1147.2294 / 37 = 31.0062

Paring this down to its cubic root reveals:

31.0062^(1/3) = 3.14159...

Thus, the NJ cube reveals an approximation to pi that is accurate in its first six digits. It does so using a simple methodology, one very close to that which gave us a very close approximation to the cube of 10.

Roots of the Number 3

The numerical revelation of the two square pairs of 1147 has not been exhausted just yet. In a remarkable twist, they also contain the necessary information for constructing the cube itself. To process the data, we need to refer back to the cube of 10, for this number is the key to translating the numbers that arise.

First, let us observe the series of the roots of the number 3 in a numerical and geometrical regression, as we will be using these approximations to show how the NJ cube represents the progression through these roots:

(a) 3
(b) Square root of 3 = 1.7320508... = 1732
(c) 4th root of 3 = 1.316074... = (d)^2
(d) 8th root of 3 = 1.1472026... = 1147
(e) 16th root of 3 = 1.0710754... = 1071

From the square [Ju,L,N,A] we take the line [N,A], which sums as 570 + 501 = 1071. [N,A] forms the West edge on the surface of the NJ cube.
We then apply our conversion factor of the cube of 10 to get:

1071 / 10^3 = 1.071 = (e)

The next step geometrically is to convert this line into a square, thus:

1.071^2 = (e)^2 = 1.147 = (d)

Multiplying this result by the cube of 10 leaves us with the integer 1147.
We now have a square face of 1147, and observe that this number is repeated in the opposite square face. These two squares interact to give us our next progression:

1.147^2 x 1.147^2 = (d)^2 x (d)^2 = (d)^4 = 1.732 = (b)

This process results geometrically in the two opposing squares of 1147 being joined. In a cube, the line joining diagonally opposite vertices is always equal to (b). Remarkably, this value is obtained as we connect the North and South gate structures diagonally through the centre of the cube:

N + S = [R,Ju,L] + [S,I,Z] = 335 + 1397 = 1732 = (b) x 10^3

The NJ cube thus shows in its numbers how the cube is structured from line to square to opposing squares to diagonally-linked opposing squares.
This feature is well worth taking some time over. It might also be worth mentioning in passing that the number 1147 also appears diagonally, the diagonal [N,R,Jo,B] summing to 1147.

Comparison to Genesis 1:1

The number 1147 has a link to Genesis 1:1 through the application of an alternating process of +/- to the word values, as detailed:

913 + 203 - 86 + 401 - 395 + 407 - 296 = 1147

Verse Gematria

The only verse that has a gematria of 1147 (31 x 37) which could be said to be relevant to the NJ cube is that found at Psalm 150:1. As the NJ cube is a witness of praise to the omnipresent God Almighty, this particular verse resonates thematically. Perhaps a final point worth mentioning also is that words number 31 and 37 in the Bible are the same. They are both the Hebrew word haOwr, 'the light', and occur in the same verse, at Genesis 1:4.

That is all for the features of the square pair 1147 and 1147. The numerical symmetry of their matching values suggests a unique balance within the NJ cube. This balance has been shown to relate to the notion of a cube on many levels through the analysis within this post. Next time I write, I will deal with the number 2294, which is the sum of the 8 vertices of the NJ cube.

NJ Cube - Addendum to Part Four

This is intended as an addendum to Part Four, at post #13 of this thread. Part Four concerned itself with the centre of the NJ cube, which was seen to be a composite of the names [R,G,S,Jo], summing to 888. It was observed that a number of features related to this centre produced multiples of 888. Here is an additional feature.

Of the four names forming the composite nucleus of the NJ cube, there exist 16 possible combinations of their numbers, including the empty set. These are:


000 = 000
259 = 259
259 + 466 = 725
259 + 007 = 266
259 + 156 = 415
259 + 466 + 007 = 732
259 + 466 + 156 = 881
259 + 007 + 156 = 422
259 + 466 + 007 + 156 = 888
466 = 466
466 + 007 = 473
466 + 156 = 622
466 + 007 + 156 = 629
007 = 007
007 + 156 = 163
156 = 156The sum of all 16 possible combinations is 7104, which factorises as:

7104 = 888 x 8
7104 = 2368 x 3

888 is the value of the name Iesous, Jesus.
2368 is the value of the name Iesous Christos, Jesus Christ.

The factorisation of 7104 as 888 x 8 transfers significantly onto the NJ cube. Because the cube has 8 external vertices, the central vertex of 888 can be seen as translating itself out from the centre to all 8 surface vertices. In effect, each of the 8 external vertices receives the central value of 888. This aspect arises from the four central values achieving their fullness of expression via the 16 possible combinations available.

Stephen

[Stephen]

NJ Cube - Part Seven

Harking back to earlier posts in this thread, it was observed that the sum of the numerical values of the eight tribes occupying the 8 external vertices of the NJ cube came to 2294. Recapping, these eight tribes were [Ju,L,A,N,I,Z,B,D].

Psalm 117

The number 2294 has a unique part to play in the alphanumeric structure of the Bible, for it is the gematrical value of the central chapter of Scripture, Psalm 117. Not only does this psalm occupy the middle position in the Bible's 1189 chapters, it is also the shortest, being the only chapter having just the two verses.

Psalm 117 is the 595th chapter of the Bible. The number 595 is both triangular - the 34th triangle - and palindromic, this latter aspect harmonising with the notion of centrality implicit in the unique positioning of Psalm 117 within the biblical corpus. As a triangle, 595 is at the centre of the following structure: hexagon / triangle / hexagram:

397 / 595 / 793

This structure is itself a complete palindrome.

Psalm 117 is of further interest in that the numerical weight of both its letters and its words show an astounding equilibrium. This feature can be viewed by scrolling down the following link:

http://www.whatabeginning.com/BBooks/LangtonLegacy/P.htm

Equilibrium is very much a concept related to the number 2294 as found in the NJ cube. The 8 vertices - whose sum is 2294 - have been seen to conceptually harmonise with the central value of 888 at other points in this thread. Indeed, the content of Psalm 117 is greatly enhanced through its numerical mapping onto the NJ cube. A paean of praise to the Almighty from all peoples and nations, the NJ cube shows us that the person of the Almighty is none other than Jesus, whose number is 888, and who, as the Lamb, resides at the centre of the NJ cube. To Jesus is due the praise of all peoples and nations (compare Revelation 21:23-26).

Psalm 119

2294 is also the sum of the two central verses of the Bible's longest chapter, Psalm 119. This psalm is also the Bible's chief alphabetic chapter, each of the 22 Hebrew letters beginning 8 consecutive verses in sequence. This fact amplifies the relationship between the number 2294 and the notions of centrality and equilibrium. It is worth pointing out that the two verses in question at the centre of this psalm are verses 88 and 89. The 88th verse - which is the 88th verse from the beginning of the psalm - sums to 1332 = 37 x 36. The 89th verse - which is the 88th verse from the end of the psalm - sums to 962 = 37 x 26. Thus, both verses are multiples of 37.

That 2294 should be both the sum of the two verses of the Bible's central and shortest chapter - Psalm 117 - and the sum of the two central verses of the Bible's longest chapter - Psalm 119 - is surely cause for much contemplation.

MS Breastplate

The MS breastplate also produces the number 2294 in a most meaningful way, but using a different selection of the twelve tribal names in the process. The first three rows of the MS breastplate sum to 2294, as this link reveals:

http://www.whatabeginning.com/Breastplate/Coracle2/P.htm

Rows 1 to 3 sum as:

771 + 961 + 562 = 2294.

Of interest is the way in which this MS breastplate feature of 2294 is structured. The first column sums to 296 [R,Ju,G], while columns 2 and 3 sum to 1998 [S,L,I,Z,A,D]. This offers a tantalising link to Genesis 1:1.

Genesis 1:1

The number 2294 is obtainable in combination from within the seven words of Genesis 1:1. Below is the necessary sequence from which it is derived:

[913] [203] [086] [401] [395] [407] [296]
913 + 203 + 086 + 401 + 395 = 1998
296 = 296
1998 + 296 = 2294The first five word values translate as: In the beginning God created the heavens = 1998.
The seventh and final word translates as: the earth = 296.
The one word value omitted from the sum is word six, which functions as the copulative between the two objects of the verse, the heavens and the earth.

In conclusion, the number 2294 in the NJ cube appears to represent the idea of praise. This praise both emanates from, and is returned towards, the one seated on the throne, who is the Lord Jesus. There appears to be a self-sustaining and perpetuating issue of praise and glory as the heavens and the earth attain their equilibrium. Again, Jesus - whose number is 888 - is seen to be the sustainer of this eternal praise and glory.

NJ Cube - Second Addendum to Part Four

As previously observed, the centre of the NJ cube sums to 888 = 24 x 37. This centre, or nucleus, divides into two sets that are multiples of 37:

259 = 7 x 37
466 + 7 + 156 = 629 = 17 x 37The respective divisors are the numbers 7 and 17, which sum to 24.

Greek Alphabet

At the time the New Testament manuscripts were written, the Greek alphabet consisted of 24 letters. Of these, 7 were vowels, and 17 were consonants. Interesting that this same division of 24 into 7 and 17 should be found at the centre of the NJ cube through the name of Jesus.

[lindaf]

I've had the pleasure of learning about Stephen's NJ cube structure through correspondence with him. It's truly an amazing structure with relationships to God's word and His world.

If it seems difficult :confused2: to follow, just go through it slowly, ask him questions if you don't understand. He's great at helping one to work through this study.

Understanding this structure is truly amazing and a rewarding study. You will learn how important Israel is to our Lord, and how important it is to NJ, among many other jaw :eek: dropping facts.

It's worthwhile to work through this, I encourage everyone to do so.

:D Linda

[Stephen]

Hi Linda!

What a pleasant surprise to see you here at the forum. It was quite some time ago when I shared with you the mathematical, numerical and geometrical wonders in the NJ cube. What impressed me most was your willingness to try and understand it, even though you had no interest in gematria or any appreciation for maths. A willingness to learn is all that's needed to come to grips with the intense revelation to be found in this most amazing structure. Your perseverance, and your eventual understanding of the amazing testimony that exists in the mathematical and geometrical integrity of the NJ cube, should be an inspiration to others. It served as a litmus test to me, informing me that the only qualities needed are willingness to learn, and a desire to know. God always honours that kind of commitment in any area of our walk with Him.

It was just over five years ago that I started to get into gematria seriously. The inspiration was Vernon's and Richard's websites. Their works stand apart from any other work I've ever seen on the subject of gematria. There is no other work even remotely in the same league as theirs, and I mean that in the absolute fullness of that statement. Since coming across their work, I've gradually developed a very deep appreciation of what gematria is all about. It came through meditating on the subject every day for at least two years. Even at work I would spend every spare moment thinking about it. That's why I believe the Lord let me understand certain things, which are the things I'm sharing here. In particular, the MS breastplate, the Star of Israel, and the NJ cube have been revelations that I hold most dear.

Anyway, I just need to put together an addendum for post #14 of this thread, so will catch up with you in other threads as they develop.

NJ Cube - Addendum to Part Five (One)

Part Five dealt with aspects of the complementary square pair 292 and 2002. In particular, the square value of 292 was observed to atomise in interesting ways. Here is a further atomisation of that value which produces interesting results when divided by the sum of the complementary square, 2002.

The value 292 was found to break into:

North: [Ju,L] = 30 + 46 = 76
East: [B,D] = 162 + 54 = 216The two East values - 162 and 54 - and the two North values - 30 and 46 - relate to 2002 through division as:

162 / 2002 = 0.080919 recurring
54 / 2002 = 0.026973 recurring
30 / 2002 = 0.014985 recurring
46 / 2002 = 0.022977 recurringThe resultant recurring integers - 80919 and 26973; and 14985 and 22977 - factorise in interesting ways:

80919 = 3^7 x 37 = 8991 x 9 = 9 x 9 x 999
26973 = 3^6 x 37 = 8991 x 3 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 333
14985 = 3^4 x 5 x 37
22977 = 3^3 x 23 x 37 = 111 x 207The first two results are numerically interesting, and involve the number 8991 as a factor, the reverse of 1998. Most significant of the two numbers is 80919, because of its prime factorisation, which proliferates with the digits 3 and 7. But the third factorisation of 26973, above, also involves 7 appearances of the digit 3. Of course, the numbers 54 and 162 are related, as 54 x 3 = 162. The final result also has an interesting factorisation in 111 x 207, as 111 is the value of aleph, the first Hebrew letter, which begins the word owr - meaning 'light' - whose sum is 207.

The reason for these interesting numerical results is the number 2002. Because it is a multiple of the numbers 7, 11 and 13 - whose inverse series all produce notable strings - 2002 is able to divide even numbers with fascinating repeating strings as a result, all of which have 999 as a factor. All four opposing values forming the square sum of 292 are even, and thus interact both individually and as a whole with the square of 2002.

Stephen

[Stephen]

NJ Cube - Addendum to Part Five (Two)

The value 292 also divides according to the two North-East surface edges of [Ju,B] and [L,D]. These interact with the opposing square sum of 2002 accordingly:

[Ju,B] = 30 + 162 = 192, and 192 / 2002 = 0.095904 recurring
[L,D] = 46 + 50 = 100, and 100 / 2002 = 0.049950 recurringAs integers, these numbers - 95904 and 49950 - factorise in the following manner:

95904 = 48 x 1998 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 888
49950 = 5 x 5 x 1998The first number is the most interesting, being divisible by 888. Both numbers are also anagrams of one another.

Finally, the value 292 also divides according to the two surface diagonals of [Ju,D] and [L,B]. These interact with the opposing square sum of 2002 accordingly:

[Ju,D] = 30 + 54 = 84, and 84 / 2002 = 0.041958 recurring
[L,B] = 46 + 162 = 208, and 208 / 2002 = 0.103896 recurringAs integers, these numbers - 41958 and 103896 - factorise in the following manner:

41958 = 3 x 7 x 1998
103896 = 2 x 2 x 13 x 1998 = 3 x 3 x 13 x 888 = 3 x 3 x 11544Both factorisations are notable, involving the integers 3 and 7 in one instance, and 888 in the other. This second number also divides by 11544, which is the value of the significant verse at Hebrews 6:19.

Again, these results are due to the divisive power contained in the number 2002, which is the sum of the South-West surface square of [A,N,Z,I]. From the results achieved in the interaction between the North-East square sum of 292 - in whole and in part - and the complementary South-West square sum of 2002, the phenomenon seems to be very much one of divine intent.

Just to let you know I really do appreciate your posts. I could never be a critic because I don't have that kind of insight - but I can see the obvious precision from the numbers presented. I also like the fact that Richard is a counterbalance, able to speak to what you post. It brings out the solidity that way. :yo:

NJ Cube - Addendum to Part Five (Three)

This is the final addendum to Part Five. This time, the fascination lies with the nuclear number of 888 - composed of [R,S,G,Jo] - and how it interacts with the South-West square summing to 2002 - composed of [A,N,Z,I] - through the power of division:

888 / 2002 = 0.443556 recurring

As an integer, this number is 443556, which has the fascinating factorisation of:

443556 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 37 x 37 = 666 x 666

Division of the nuclear sum of 888 by the square face sum of 2002 produces an integer that is the square of 666. A most intriguing result, in light of a certain verse that seems to encrypt the geometrical implications of the 888 and 2002 relationship in the NJ cube. This interaction embodies a nuclear capstone - 888 - radiating from a point in square fashion to a square base of 2002. The shape of this interaction is represented geometrically by a pyramid. With this in mind, consider the following verse from Psalm 118:22, which conceivably speaks symbolically of a pyramid:

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner

The Hebrew for head stone of the corner is l'rosh pinnah, which sums to 666. This stone is coterminous with the pinnacle, or capstone, of a pyramid. The square base of a pyramid has four corners, or vertices. Three edges meet at each of these vertices. The pinnacle, or zenith, of a pyramid is also a vertex. However, four edges meet at this vertex, which makes it particularly suited to the description head stone of the corner. It is the head because it is literally the head cornerstone of the structure. It is also the head cornerstone in that more edges meet at its vertex than for any of the other four cornerstones at the base of the pyramid. Thus, the pinnacle stone of the pyramid is doubly the head stone of the corner.

As the base of a pyramid is a square, and the pinnacle of a pyramid is l'rosh pinnah = 666, finding the value of the pyramid-shaped interaction between 888 and 2002 - the capstone divided by the square base - in the NJ cube to be the square of 666 is certainly a matter of some interest!

Greetings All!

Just including Richard's graphic of the NJ cube for reference. The names of the tribes, their abbreviations for the purposes of this thread, and their gematria values are as follows:

NORTH: Reuben [ R ] = 259 --- Judah [ Ju ] = 30 --- Levi [ L ] = 46
WEST: Gad [ G ] = 7 --- Asher [ A ] = 501 --- Naphtali [ N ] = 570
SOUTH: Simeon [ S ] = 466 --- Issachar [ I ] = 830 --- Zebulun [ Z ] = 101
EAST: Joseph [ Jo ] = 156 --- Benjamin [ B ] = 162 --- Dan [ D ] = 54

The graphic makes it clear that the centre of the NJ cube is a point where four values meet. These are [R,G,S,Jo], which sum as:

259 + 7 + 466 + 156 = 888

It is well known that 888 is the value for the name Jesus. This diagram will be referred to often as this thread grows.
