Luke 11:52,
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς, ὅτι ἤρατε τὴν κλεῖδα τῆς γνώσεως· αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσήλθατε καὶ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἐκωλύσατε.

νομικός

What do you think this key might be and where it is to be found?

I do think it might be related to what Rashi commented on Genesis 1:1

Take notion

https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.1.1?lan ... 3&lang2=bi

ברא אלהים GOD [AS JUDGE] CREATED — It does not state 'ברא ה “The Lord (the Merciful One) created, because at first God intended to create it (the world) to be placed under the attribute (rule) of strict justice, but He realised that the world could not thus endure and therefore gave precedence to Divine Mercy allying it with Divine Justice. It is to this that what is written in (Genesis 2:4) alludes — “In the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven”.

The Rabbinic association of YHVH (= 26 = 2 x 13 (ahavah/love) with mercy and Elohim (86 = tevah/natural law) makes good sense to me.

We also see this in nomos (law) = 430 = 5 x 86 (Elohim/tevah).

The number 5 naturally echoes the 5th Sefirot Gevurah which is the "essence of judgment and limitation". This page from Aish.com explains Gevurah "is the attribute of law".

It is no mere coincidence that nomos (law) = 430 = arithmos (number) - gematria is self-verifying and self-teaching.

We see this in both the history of Israel and the plain text: Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law (nomos), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

430 is gematria of "nefesh"= soul = Greek ψυχή

Mark 10:45
καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.

430 = 5 x 86

86 = "kos"= cup = Greek ποτήριον

Mark 14:23-24,
καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον εὐχαριστήσας ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔπιον ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες.καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης τὸ ἐκχυννόμενον ὑπὲρ πολλῶν·

ἐκχέω
https://biblehub.com/greek/1632.htm

also in LXX Zechariah 12:10 !
καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ πνεῦμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρός με ἀνθ᾽ ὧν κατωρχήσαντο καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν κοπετὸν ὡς ἐπ᾽ ἀγαπητὸν καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην ὡς ἐπὶ πρωτοτόκῳ

after John 19 this had to do with the piercing of Jesus's side wih water and blood flowing out

John 19:34, ἀλλ' εἷς τῶν στρατιωτῶν λόγχῃ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλευρὰν ἔνυξεν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εὐθὺς αἷμα καὶ ὕδωρ.

430 also Rameses
Exodus 12:37,
וַיִּסְע֧וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל מֵֽרַעְמְסֵ֖ס סֻכֹּ֑תָה
The children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth

Sukot = dwellingplace with open roof through which the stars of heaven can be seen

"sukot" = 480 , difference with "rameses" 50

coinciding the 50 days between Pesach and Shavuot = Pentecost

Rashi:
from Rameses to Succoth. They were 120 “mil” [apart]. Yet they arrived there instantly, as it is said: “and I carried you on eagles’ wings.” -

End of Ezekiel 39 = end of the wars of Gog and Magog

Ezekiel 39:29 https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cd ... rashi/true
And I shall no longer hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My spirit upon the House of Israel," says the Lord God.

וְלֹֽא־אַסְתִּ֥יר ע֛וֹד פָּנַ֖י מֵהֶ֑ם "astir"= 671 = "yom shishi" (666) + "hey" (5)

LXX καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψω οὐκέτι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἀνθ᾽ οὗ ἐξέχεα τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος κύριος
