Publisher's Foreword
Studies on numbers and research on the socalled Number Theory or Numerology are countless in the English world. Books on the numbers in the Bible are many, especially after we entered the current digital age. However, due to the influence of post-modern atheist cultures, the Bible and Science are like a married couple, having slipped from their original harmony to the current divorced state. As a result of this divorce, numbers either remain only as symbols to express quantities in scientific formulas, or become tools in the hands of those who practice heathenism and occults. Among Christians, numbers are either misused for the date-setting of when Jesus will come back or when He will rapture His Church, or are taken away from the Bible to such an extent that every effort is made to avoid mentioning or dealing with numbers

as if anyone doing so will wander into the path of heresy. All this is due to our ignorance of the correct and important roles that numbers play in the Bible. Moreover, most people have long forgotten that both Hebrew and Greek alphabet letters have double uses they can be used to either spell out and record thoughts and things or they can be used to count the quantity of things or their sequence. Up to now, two men have made great efforts in recognizing and utilizing this letter-number relationship in Hebrew and Greek for confirming and correcting traditional interpretations of the Bible. One is Del Washburn living in Western USA, and the other is James Harrison in Eastern Canada. Del Washburn has coined a new term Theomatics to combine the terms Gematria in Hebrew and Isopsephia in Greek. James Harrison has proposed three rules of transforming numbers into a simpler and more meaningful form, one of which is what he calls Trinity Function. In this and other books published by the author, Taichuan

Tongs, Theomatics is used as a general term to refer to all studies involving numbers in the Bible. Under the amazing guidance of the Holy Spirit and the help of other believers, the author has discovered nine sets of numerical roots using James Harrison's Trinity Function or Trinity Root Function (TRF) as it is called in this book. It is also found that these nine roots of numbers correlate well with nine basic natural numbers from 1 to 9. Moreover, based on the concise and simple structural relationships between numbers and their corresponding roots, God's entire redemption blueprint and the core teaching of the Gospel can be presented fully at one glance. We cannot help but praise God from the bottom of our hearts for such a wonderful and amazing design! On the eve of Jesus Christs second coming, this book is published to help all those who are willing to diligently seek the truth. On one hand, we hope the book will prevent more Christian watchmen from falling into the pit of

guessing the day and hour of the Lords coming; on the other hand, the book could help everyone to pay closer attention to the core teachings of the Bible and to accept Jesus as the only Savior of mankind, especially at this moment of time before His imminent return. A few words about the series title: By End Time Series it does not only mean that the messages presented in these six books are concerning the end of the world or the Day of the Lord's coming. Far more than that, the title also carries with it a much deeper meaning, i.e. the messages presented in the series came into shape and were sent out on the eve of the Lord's coming. Our messages are meant to help people to see that the concept of the Last Days in the Bible really encompasses the entire Jubilee Millennium, spanning from Jesus' first coming up to His second coming. All six books of the series are built on this basic foundation which is crucial for a thorough understanding of the truths concerning the End Time. Our hope is that everyone reading these books will eventually come up with a clear, correct and panoramic

picture of the Bible's gigantic puzzle. This book is a direct English translation of one of the following six books that have been published in Chinese by TheoLogos Publications already: 1.

Preface
Ever since people began interpreting the Bible, there have always been two camps, the literal and spiritual interpretations, and the two sides have been debating much to this day. As humankind walks into the age of computers, modern technologies have facilitated us in a new realm of Bible studies numerical interpretation of the Bible. As we all know, the Old Testament of the Bible was written mainly in Hebrew while the New Testament was penned in Greek. The common feature about these two languages is this: Each alphabet naturally corresponds to a certain numerical value. This way, each word in the Bible can be expressed with a certain number, or theomatic value as we call it in this and other books. This is simply the sum of the numerical values of all the letters involved. For this reason a numerical value for any verse in the Bible can be computed. This letter-number interchange reveals an

inseparable link between the Bible and numbers. Such a letter-number interlinear feature in Hebrew and Greek does not exist in many other languages. As a result, this becomes a solid and objective basis for the uniqueness of the Bible and the numerical interpretations of the Bible. The objectiveness of a certain number is hard to deny. Perhaps you do not agree with a certain literal interpretation of a Bible verse, or you can reject the verse's spiritual meaning, however, it is hard to ignore the exact and hard fact about a certain number that is associated with the verse. With the precondition that a number is exact and does not change, its objective existence forces us to seek the number's true meaning. Therefore, the advantage of numerical interpretation of the Bible is this: Let the numbers speak for themselves. This is impossible for the literal and spiritual interpretation of the Bible. Moreover, because of the amazing guidance of the Holy Spirit, an unprecedented fact has been discovered: For each number there is a certain number that can be called the root of

numbers that goes after it. In addition, there is a total of nine sets of these numerical roots that happen to correspond to the nine basic natural numbers, just like what you see in the pyramid on the cover of this book. Do not belittle those numbers and the simple pyramid structure which they are presented in. In essence this pyramid of numbers is showcasing in the simplest and the most concise form what is the integral thread of the Bible, and the core message of the Gospel and God's entire redemption blueprint. If you can perceive the mysteries hidden in this configuration, your faith's foundation can be deeply rooted in the unmovable spiritual rock of Jesus Christ. We truly believe that every genuine truth seeker will greatly receive the merciful anointing and uplifting through the inspiration and revelation of numbers and roots of these numbers in the Bible.

Chapter 1: Meanings of the First Nine Natural Numbers


First, let us look at the meanings of the nine basic natural numbers 1 through 9. No matter how many numbers there are under the sky, they are all made up of these nine numbers and 0. The number 1 represents God the Father in the Trinity. The root of the Hebrew word for 1 comes from a verb which means to unify this indicates that what God cares for is the normal harmony between the Creator and His creation. This number mainly has the following three levels of meaning: Oneness: ... The LORD our God is one LORD. (Deuteronomy 6:4) Unity: I and my Father are one. (John 10:30)

Preeminence: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13) The Greek words for both the beginning and the first derive from the same root which means to be first. The number 2 represents God the Son in the Trinity. Its meaning also has three levels: Separation: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:4) Repetition: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:14) Witness: ... in the mouth of two or three witnesses... (Matthew 18:16) The number 3 represents the Holy Spirit in the Trinity. Because the number 3 is a spiritual and heavenly number, things of the heaven and in

the spiritual realm are all connected with this number. There is a saying, which goes like this: three strikes and you are out. Whether you believe it or not, all things and all events in heavens, on earth and in between are actually controlled by the invisible spirit of God. The number 4 represents God's creation. In terms of common knowledge of physics, two points connect in a line, like a road between two places; three points form a 2-dimensional surface, like the sea; four points can be used to construction a 3-dimensional space, allowing vehicles to run, ships to travel and planes to fly this 3D space can contain all things that are visible to our naked eyes. However, the most important of all is that the number 4 points to the living created beings in heavens and on earth, including angels that were created in the first place, especially the fallen angels. The number 5 represents the normal and intimate relationship between God and His

created beings, just like the harmony between the thumb and the four fingers of our hand. This number especially speaks about believers' free will to live and walk with God in Christ. Normally we give this number a special name called grace. The number 6 represents all mankind because according to the book of Genesis, Eve, the mother of all the living, and the males and females who were made after God's image were created in the evening and morning of the 6th day. Biblical language study tools tell us, the standard English concordant word* for the number 6 in Hebrew is elate. This implies that the new man coming out after the image and likeness of God on the 6th day is the result of God's union with mankind which makes His created beings rejoice in spirit and feel like everything is made new. ___________________
* Standard English concordant word refers to a single English word that is closest in meaning to its corresponding Hebrew or Greek in the Bible. This work has been heralded and carried on by Concordant Publishing Concern since 1909.

The number 7 represents complete perfection as the root of the Hebrew word for 7 means to be complete. It brings all perfected people into God's kingdom to enjoy eternal rest. In a term that is often used by many people, it is like entering heaven. The number 8 represents resurrection. This is the core concept that the Bible intends to proclaim. Biblical language study tools point out that the root of the Hebrew word for 8 comes from a verb which means to shine. Right from the beginning Genesis shows us this: And God saw the light, that it was good... (Genesis 1:4) This light of the first day takes concerted action with the resurrected light of the 8th day one after another, repeatedly testifying what the Lord said: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13) It is worthwhile to mention that the first day of the week in the Bible not only refers to the seventh day, but also points to the eighth day of the resurrection. In reality, the essence of

the seventh day is the same as that of the eighth day they both represent a day with no darkness, but only shining broad daylight. When the Word-became-flesh, who is the Lord Jesus, resurrected after death and then went back to heaven, He entered into the seventh day. When He comes back and brings the entire body of Christ into harmony and union with God, then comes the eighth day. The number 9 represents the final conclusion because it is the last one of the nine basic numbers. In other words, it signifies the final resurrection moment for all humanity what follows and is presented before everyone is the great, grand conclusion. This is like a TV series. No matter how long the whole show is, there is always the moment for the final conclusion. At the same time, 9 also represents the final completion of the Holy Spirit's work on the saints. Therefore, Paul shows us in the book of Galatians that one fruit of the Holy Spirit could have these nine tastes: love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control all these words are feminine, indicating that all new persons hidden in Christ have become a born-again new creation that has thoroughly put off the sin of arrogance and earthly lusts. In terms of Arabic numbers, the inverted 6 becomes 9. Therefore, when an old man who puts his feet high up in the air has been turned upside down and becomes a new man who willingly honors God as his head, then God's will and the work of the Holy Spirit are indeed made complete.

Chapter 2 Nine Roots of Numbers


After going through the first nine natural numbers, we now introduce a completely new concept that no one has ever heard of the root of numbers. Just like any tree has its root, each word in Hebrew and Greek, two languages used to present the Bible, also has its root. The root of a word helps readers of the Bible to trace a certain word to its source and origin, thus helping us to understand the meaning of each word in the Bible correctly. Now, does a number have a root? Indeed it does! We have discovered that just like a tree has its root, a word has its root, and likewise, any number also has its root. For simplicity, we shall call it the root of numbers or the numerical root. However, unlike a tree root where each kind of tree has a different root,

or unlike the word root where each word follows a different root, the numerical root is so much simpler. Here it is in a nutshell: The root of numbers never changes, and there happens to be a total of nine sets of roots for all natural numbers, from 1 to infinity. In the following, we will explain how these nine roots of numbers are discovered and computed. These numerical roots were discovered using the Trinity Function that James Harrison coined in his book that was published in 1994*. For our purpose his Trinity Function in this book will be referred to as the Trinity Root Function (TRF). It was discovered in our project, TRF can be applied to all numbers and as a result nine numerical roots were found. The actual calculation process is very simple. _______________

James Harrison, The Pattern & The Prophecy: God's Great Code (Isaiah Publications, 1994), p. 34

1. First split the number into single digits. 2. Then multiply each digit by itself three times (cubic multiplication). 3. Finally add up all the results of each digit's cubic multiplication to arrive at a new number (summation). Repeat this three-step splitting, cubic multiplication and summation process with each outcome until the resulting summation either remains the same or begins to repeat in a pattern. Why does one have to use the Trinity Root Function to find the numerical root? This might have something to do with God's mystery in the Trinity. We can only humbly stay at the feet of Lord Jesus and acknowledge that many things cannot be fully comprehended by us human beings. Now, let us proceed with some actual examples.

1: 111 = 1 Here we see that when the resulting number does not change anymore, that number is simply its root, like 1 we see here. Therefore, the root of number 1 is just itself, never changing and never needing to change. Below we start with the number 1,234 which is greater than 1 and see what root we can come up with. First we split this number into 1, 2, 3 and 4. The result of cubic multiplication for all these four numbers followed by a total summation gives us this: 111 + 222 + 333 + 444 = 100 Since both the summation and multiplication of 0 are 0, we can simply skip the calculation for 0 whenever we see it. Thus we see that numbers 1,234 and 100 both have the same numerical root, 1: 111 = 1 (root: 1) This is the first numerical root which represents the beginning and eternal

unchanging constancy. Now we search for the next root. We start with the second natural number 2 to carry our TRF for repeated applications you can see what is meant by repeating the three-step process until an unchanging root is found. 2: 222 888 555 111 999 777 777 333 = = + + + + + + 8 512 111 333 222 333 111 777

+ + = + + +

222 444 737 777 333 111

= 134 = 92 = 713 = 371 = 371

Do you see it? Reapplying TRF each time to the ending number 371 simply shows how it resurrects itself. Thus we have found another numerical root: 371. In the following we will start with the natural number 3 and continuously reapply TRF to each outcome and see what number this process will stop at:

3:

333 222 333 111

= + + +

27 777 = 351 555 + 111 = 153 555 + 333 = 153

Now we have found the third invariable root 153 that resurrects itself. By the way, this is the number that shows up in the last miracle that Jesus performed after His resurrection and was later recorded in John 21:11 (In a while we will come back and closely examine this verse.) Next we will start with the natural number 4 and find a numerical root whose form is in great contrast to the first three. Look at the following: 4: 444 666 222 555 111 555 222 = + + + + + + 64 444 888 222 333 555 555

= = = + = =

280 520 133 333 = 55 250 133

111 + 333 + 333 = 55 555 + 555 = 250 Unlike the above three single roots, this time we have a root (133-55-250) that jumps in a circular fashion among three numbers: After one application of TRF to 133, then we get 55, after another TRF we get 250. Further applications of TRF results in 133, 55, and 250 and so on to infinity. When each composing number converts to another number among three or two numbers, it is called multiple element root or simply multiple root. We enclose all its elements within a multiple root in round brackets. For this reason we call each self-resurrecting and mono-element numerical root single root. From the above calculations we see that all roots of numbers can be divided into two major categories: One category is the single root such as 1, 371, 153 etc. as we have seen above; another category is the multiple root such as (133-55-250) we

have just obtained. After repeated use of TRF on all natural numbers from 1 to infinity, the following can be concluded: There are only five single roots: 1, 371, 153, 370 and 407. And four multiple roots: two triple-element roots: (133-55-250), (217-352-160); and two dual-element roots: (1459-919), (244-136). It may sound inconceivable that all natural numbers, big or small, can be traced back to these nine roots just as all numbers are composed of nine basic natural numbers (in both cases zero is of course just as important as the rest of the numbers). If you do not believe this you can verify it yourself you will not find any more numerical roots other than what have been shown above. Besides knowing there are only nine roots of numbers, the following chart shows when each number root shows up in the first place:

1 2 3 4 7 16 47 49 136

1 371 153 (133-55-250) 370 (217-352-160) 407 (1459-919) (244-136)

In the above, the numbers on the right are numerical roots while the numbers on the left are the first numbers when their corresponding root are found. Thus you can see that 136 is the last number when the last root (244-136) is found. In other words, you only need to apply TRF to numbers from 1 up to 136; application of TRF to numbers after 136 will not yield any new root whatsoever. If you are interested, please take a look at the whole computing process for the above nine number roots: 1: 111 = 1

Thus we have the first unchanging and single

numerical root: 1. 2: 222 888 555 111 999 777 777 333 = = + + + + + + 8 512 111 333 222 333 111 777

+ + = + + +

222 444 737 777 333 111

= 134 = 92 = 713 = 371 = 371

From this we get the second single root 371. 3: 333 222 333 111 = + + + 27 777 = 351 555 + 111 = 153 555 + 333 = 153

From this we have the third single root 153. 7: 777 333 111 555 111 = + + + + 343 444 111 111 999

+ + + =

333 = 118 888 = 514 444 = 190 730

777 + 333 = 370 333 + 777 = 370 Therefore, we get our fourth single root 370. 47: 444 + 777 = 407 444 + 777 = 407

From here we obtain the fifth single root which is also the last single root: 407. 4: 444 666 222 555 111 555 222 = + + + + + + 64 444 888 222 333 555 555

= = = + = =

280 520 133 333 = 55 250 133

From this we have the sixth root, which is the first triple-element root: (133-55-250). 16: 111 222 333 111 + + + + 666 111 555 666 = + + = 217 777 = 352 222 = 160 217

222 + 111 + 777 = 352 333 + 555 + 222 = 160 From here we obtain the seventh root, which is also the second triple-element root: (217352-160). 49: 444 777 111 111 999 + + + + + 999 999 999 444 111 = + + + + 793 333 999 555 999

= = + =

1099 1459 999 = 919 1459

From this we have our eighth root, which is also the first dual-element root: (1459-919). 136: 111 222 111 222 + + + + 333 444 333 444 + + + + 666 444 666 444 = = = = 244 136 244 136

Now we obtain the ninth and last root, which is also the second dual-element root: (244136) If you compute further with numbers after

136, you will only find one of the above nine roots. You will not discover any new roots. Why are there only nine roots for all numbers, nothing more and nothing less? Because they are coupled with nine basic natural numbers as for the meanings of this coupling we will address this further on.

Chapter 3 Self Roots of the First Nine Natural Numbers


According to the Trinity Root Function, you can find with ease the roots for numbers 1 to 9 are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 371 153 (133-55-250) 371 153 370 371 153

We call a root, which is computed directly from a starting number, a self-root. Please remember this term self-root and do not get it mixed up with another term that we are going to introduce.

Now, what will these nine pairs of natural numbers and their corresponding self-roots tell us? First, we see that numbers 2, 5, and 8 have the same self-root 371; numbers 3, 6, and 9 also have the same self-root 153; each of the remaining numbers 1, 4, and 7 has its own self-root 1, (133-55-250), and 370, respectively. We call the connection or association between a number and its related root a number-root coupling, in which the number acts like the visible portion of a tree above the ground and the root acts like the tree's invisible part that is always hidden in the ground. So you can see that, finding a coupling relationship between a number and its related root is to discover the inherent connection between the visible and the invisible, the revealed and the covered, the obvious and the hidden, etc. With the discovery of the above self-roots for the first nine natural numbers, this becomes such an easier task than before.

Number-Root Coupling 11
Based on the meanings of the first nine natural numbers that we have shared earlier, we know that 1 is the number of God the Father; now we see 1 as the numerical root remains as 1 with no change whatsoever, no matter how many times you apply TRF to it. This indicates that the all-exclusive true God Himself indeed is eternally unchanging and trustworthy because He as the Father of lights ... is no fickleness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17)

Number-Root Coupling 2371 and More


Again as we have shared earlier, 2 is the number of God the Son, Lord Jesus Christ. From the above list of nine numbers and their self-roots, however, you can see that besides 2, numbers 5 and 8 also share the same root 371. We have mentioned that 5 is the number of grace through which a normal and intimate

relationship can be established by the Lord between Him and those who believe in Him. 8 is the number of resurrection. Thus the self-root 371 for numbers 2, 5, and 8 automatically connects altogether to the Lord Jesus, His grace, and His resurrection, respectively. This is because God the Son Jesus Christ as the Word incarnate is the Lord who stretches out His grace to save us, and He is also the Lord of resurrection. At the same time, if we try to seek the differences among these three symbolic numbers, we see further that 2371 points to the Lords righteousness and majesty before incarnation; 5371 focuses on His love and humbleness during His incarnation; 8371 emphasizes His holiness and glory in bodily form after resurrection.

Number-Root Coupling 3153 and More


Next we take a second look at numbers 3, 6 and 9 which shares the same root 153.

153 is an extremely special number. What is special about 153 is that all natural numbers that are divisible by 3, for example, numbers 3, 6, 9 and so on, share this same numerical root. In other words, one third of all numbers can be traced back to this same root, 153. Based on this, to discover the meaning of 153 we have to start with this 1/3 fraction. Two passages in the Bible are prominently and closely connected to this 1/3 fraction. The first passage comes from chapter 12 of Revelation: And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12:3-4)

Here the third part of the stars that were swept out of heaven and down to earth refer to those fallen angels who had followed the enormous red dragon Satan in rebelling against God. Concerning this, almost all students of the Bible do not have any dissent. The second passage is found in chapter 13 of Zechariah: And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, said the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. (Zechariah 13:8-9) The third part here plainly points to the people of God and again no one disagrees with this. Based on the above observations we can see that this numerical root 153, which is closely

related to 1/3, hooks onto the fallen angels on one hand but connects with the people of God on earth on the other hand. We have already pointed out earlier, that the number 3 represents both the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and the work that the Holy Spirit is to carry out. And sanctification has always been the means and goal for the work that the Holy Spirit is trying to accomplish. Right from the beginning, Genesis shows us on the first day, that God started His work by separating the light from the darkness. Then the Spirit of God continued this method of separation to carry out and accomplish His predestined plan. In the end, when we come to Revelation, we see God still uses the method of separation to accomplish His entire plan of redemption. Thus we can clearly see this: The numerical root 153 is closely related to 3 the spiritual realm, especially the fallen angels; related to 6 people on the earth, especially the people of God; and related to 9 the final sanctification that the Holy Spirit is to carry out.

Naturally, when the Holy Spirit begins sanctification, it is not hard to understand the need for the one third people of God mentioned in Zechariah to go through a process of purification and chastening in order to be rid of the impurities of their old lives, like silver and gold have to go through fire. It is worthy to note that the fractions 1/3 and 2/3 mentioned above are like the difference between the literal and spiritual interpretations of the Bible. On many occasions we cannot gauge the actual and literal quantity. What God favors more is the quality rather than the quantity. Moreover, you can also see 2/3 = 0.666... this endless repetition of 666 traps all the fallen ones in the Lake of Fire who have totally deserted 1 the one and only true God. If, therefore, you cannot see this but rather choose to assign the number 666 in Revelation to a particular being, then you will eventually become powerless and hopeless when the end comes.

For a deeper understanding of the root 153, let us look at a passage near the end of the Gospel of John. This passage records the resurrected Lord Jesus' meeting with His disciples by the sea of Tiberias: After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, I go afishing. They say to him, We also go with you. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any meat? They answered him, No. And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of [raw] fishes. Therefore

that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat to him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with [raw] fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and [cooked] fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus said to them, Bring of the [cooked] fish which you have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great [raw] fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus said to them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then comes, and takes bread, and gives them, and [cooked] fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. (John 21:1-14)

There is one point that deserves our attention in this passage that has been instilling curiosities from many people because of the number 153, that is, fishes show up many times. In fact, in Greek, there are two types of fish which are two different words: One type is raw fish (or live fish) and another is cooked fish that has been subjected to a process because its Greek word derives from a root which means cooked meat. For convenience, we have added raw or cooked in brackets according to the Greek text so that readers can discern at a glance between raw fish and cooked fish and see clearly where each type shows up in the passage. Obviously it was the cooked fish that Jesus asked for, not the raw fish; what He gave His disciple to eat is also cooked fish, not raw fish. If we reflect along this line for the meaning of this passage, we can see that the 153 great raw fishes are all yet to be processed further so that they can be sanctified and become the cooked fishes as other people's providence in life, that is, the

believers who can glorify God and benefit the people. In addition, the word fish or fishes occurs 6 times in the above passage, among which raw fish in Greek occurs 3 times and cooked fish in Greek also shows up 3 times. The meaning of distinction between the two is self-evident. From here we can see more clearly what spiritual meanings the number 153 can bring to us. May the work of sanctification that the Holy Spirit is doing in each one of us be made complete according to the will of God.

Number-Root Coupling 4(133-55-250)


Now we look at what the number and root combination 4(133-55-250) mean. As we have said earlier, the number 4 represents all creation, especially angels who were created earlier than men. It tells us that as created beings (obviously including each of us) there is always something that is hidden and ready

to make trouble inside the ego which makes us hard to be obedient to God. As soon as a thread of disobedience creeps up, it is inevitable to fall into a self-centered and endless circle. Unless the grace of God intervenes, no one is able to walk out of this vicious circle.

The characteristic feature about fallen angels is that they walk onto a path of sin and rebellion against God because of ignorance. Once sins are committed, it is not easy for them to repent of their sins. And the consequence of their reluctance to repent will cause them to sin more and fall into deeper sins. Therefore, no repentance even unto death and sinning again and again are the connotative meanings that the root combination 4(133-55-250) is intended to reveals to us.
How fallen angels rebelled in heaven against God and tried to establish another kingdom in the past, in the same way, this rebellious nature has passed on to humankind, causing us to fall into a vicious and self-centered circle apart from the life of God. Today, how many

people are still walking along this tragic path out of sheer ignorance, thinking it is the path of success and glory. No wonder the Bible stresses continuously: Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) Lastly, let us talk about 7 and its self root 370 this pair represents the glorious manifestation of God's life, way, truth and grace. Due to God's redemption we are entering into heaven and enjoying rest with and in God; in the same way we are entering the kingdom of God and having the intimate union with God eventually realized. All these spiritual realities are invisible to man's naked eyes but can be felt and experienced by saints who are living a life that overcomes numerous obstacles.

It is worthwhile mentioning that the number root 370 comes from the number 37 according to the Trinity Root Function. We can understand this way: 37 represents Lord Jesus, who is the Head, the King of kings and Lord of lords*; 370 represents the kingdom of God, which is the body of Christ. The contents of the entire Bible, from the beginning to the end, talk about things that are all related to 7, 37 and 370 entering into heavenly rest in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. The Bible records the great flood in Noah's time this way:

______________ * Late Bonnie Gaunt is another person who devoted to Theomatics. In her book Jesus Christ: the Number of His Name (Adventures Unlimited Press, 1998) there is a special section (Appendix II) entitled Jesus Christ and the Number 37 that compiles all the words, phrases and even whole verses that are related to the number 37 according to their theomatic values.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Genesis 7:11) And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. And God spoke to Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you. (Genesis 8:13-16) According to the fact that the Bible counts 360 days as one year from the day the great flood began (in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month), to the day when Noah's family walked off the ark (in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month) 370 days had passed. No more

and no less. You see 370, this root of 7, shows up once again here. It allows us to see clearly that although the ark, representing rest in God, did not leave earth during the 370 days, the people and animals inside the ark indeed had a heavenly rest because all the people and animals outside the ark perished in the great flood. Someone has divided each of the days (1, 2, 3 7) mentioned in Genesis chapters one and two by the number 7, and has found the following pattern: 1/7 2/7 3/7 4/7 5/7 6/7 7/7 = = = = = = = 0.142857142857...... 0.285714285714...... 0.428571428571...... 0.571428571428...... 0.714285714285...... 0.857142857142...... 1

If you paid careful attention, you realize that you did NOT find numbers 3 and 6 in decimals on the right side of the above equations.

In fact, no matter what number you divide by 7, as long as it cannot by divided thoroughly, the decimals of the quotient always follow this circulating pattern of six numbers: 142857 but never 3 and 6. For example, divide any of the following numbers by 7 and you will get: 8/7 = 1.142857142857...... 97/7 = 13.857142857142...... 234/7 = 33.428571428571...... 5555/7 = 793.571428571428...... 56789/7 = 8112.714285714285...... Why? Because numbers 3 and 6 share the same root 153 and the significant meaning of 153 cannot be separated from the sanctification of the Holy Spirit. This means that, as long as the work of the Holy Spirit is yet to be completed and the spiritual life of man is yet to be resurrected, no one can enter into 7, the final rest in peace. In addition, from the six numbers 1, 4, 2, 8, 5 and 7 we can also see, when the Lord Jesus came to earth in the flesh, the numbers 2, 5

and 8 that are associated with Him, appear among these six numbers. The remaining numbers, 4, 1, and 7 represent the purpose of His first coming, which was to bring the grace of redemption to all created beings (4) who are willing to truly repent, so that they could unite with God (1) and enter into God's heavenly kingdom (7). Once God's grand and final creation according to His own image and likeness is completed, it is like bringing the numbers 3 and 6, which represent spiritual life and its maturity, into the six numbers of 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, and 7. Now the six numbers will become eight numbers. This implies that along with the Lord Jesus' second coming, the day of mankind's resurrection will also arrive at the same time. Along with the Lord's second coming, the White Throne Judgment that follows immediately after presents the grand finale, 9, before each person like this: The new people who are created according to God's image and likeness and who are producing fruit of the Holy Spirit will enter into Jesus Christ to be with God. On the contrary, all whose names

are not in the Lamb's Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire. The kingdom of God, represented by the number 7, is perfectly heavenly, completely belonging to God, and not restricted by time. This is in great contrast to things between heaven and earth, as well as earthly nations, all of which are constrained by time. Only perfected people can enter this kingdom of God that is represented by 7. If a man (human) pulls behind him a tail like that of an animal, it means that the sanctification of the Holy Spirit has not been completed. Whenever 153 changes a person into cooked fish, he or she is qualified to enter 7 and is worthy of enjoying perfect peace in 370. In essence, God's spiritual kingdom does not exist in the dimension of time yet it nevertheless exists parallel to human history which falls in the dimension of time. In addition, throughout the generations those who could actually enter into peaceful rest in 7 were very few. Therefore, this easily causes a misunderstanding among us, always taking

God's kingdom as merely a hope as if it has never touched down yet. Just like what the Bible points out: The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Recall in those years, how the Jews so misunderstood the kingdom that God wanted to establish on earth, how they refused to accept Jesus as the Savior, how they caused Him to be crucified on the Cross and finally how they ended up with a ruined Temple and ruined families and country. In the same way, people in the End Stage will surely continue to misunderstand the truth concerning Jesus' second coming, thinking that He will establish a so-called Millennium Kingdom on earth, and refuse to accept the truth, deny Jesus and eventually fall into the ranks of 666 and the Lake of Fire. According to the revelations that God gives through numbers, now is the time for a much

needed reflection for those who have always thought that the Lord Jesus will establish His 370 on the day of His second coming.
