Moreover, the number 8 holds significant thematic ties to Jesus, as He rose on the 1^st day of the week. This day marks the conclusion of the sabbatical cycle of 7, effectively transforming the first day into the 8^th day, an eternal moment in time. Prophetically, this event will follow Daniel's 70^th Week and the Millennial reign of Christ; and ultimately, this day is the culmination of all Biblical prophecy—a day when sin and evil will be no more. It marks the end of all wrongdoing and the fulfilment of God's eternal purposes, ushering in an everlasting era.

This concept is initially hinted at in Leviticus 23:36 among the Feasts of the LORD, referred to as Shmini Atzeret שְׁמִינִי עֲצֶ֣רֶת—the 8^th Day Gathering. On this momentous occasion, in the near future, a new heaven and earth will be established, and the faithful remnant of humanity who love and trust God will dwell with Him forever, as stated in Revelation 21:

​¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. ⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.   ⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. ⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:1-7

Prophetical Significance of the Numbers

However, in this study, the focus is on the seven non‑empty subsets and the numbers they produce: 22, 23, 24, 45, 46, 47, and 69 because those seven meaningful subsets all have biblical significance, as follows:

22 — Israel 

• The number 22 symbolizes Israel, the covenant people through whom God chose to reveal His purposes to the world.

• Jacob, the 22^nd generation from Adam — is renamed Israel, by God. This marks the moment when the Messianic line becomes a nation. It represents the root into which Gentile believers are grafted, the olive tree of Romans 11, and the people through whom the Messiah came.

• The Hebrew Language of Israel has 22 Letters.

• Abraham to whom the promise of the Nation was given was born 1948 years after Adam; and Israel as a modern nation was reborn 1948 years after the second Adam (Jesus); and the numbers of 1948 add as follows 1+9+4+8 = 22.

•  As we are discussing in this article, Jesus who is the fulfilment of Israel, established His identity with His last words on the Cross by quoting from Psalm 22.

•  Given the significance of the Psalms, it should not surprise us that God positioned them as the 19^th book from Genesis and the 48^th book from Revelation - and again 1+9+4+8 = 22.

• Chronologically there were 22 Kings over Judah (see below), the Tribe from which Jesus the Messiah would come - the following list covers the United Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) and the subsequent Kingdom of Judah (Rehoboam to Zedekiah), later reborn as the United Kingdom of Israel in 1948.

• Thus 22 stands for the covenant identity of God’s people (Israel) and the foundation of His redemptive plan.

23 — The End of God Striving with Sinful Man; Judgment Begins

• Genesis 23 records the death of Sarah — her name containing the idea of striving — symbolizing the end of one era and the beginning of another.

• So, the number 23 marks the moment when God ceases striving with sinful humanity and begins to act in judgment.

• In the Messianic lineage, the 23^rd generation is marked by divine judgment: Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, who were all in the Messianic Line, were all disqualified before Judah the fourth of Jacob / Israel's sons became the 23^rd generation. Then Judah’s sons Er and Onan are struck down for evil, before the 23^rd generation can be passed on to a 24^th in Perez, a son that Judah has with his second wife Tamar.

• Thus 23 becomes a number of transition —from God striving with sinful man to Him bringing judgement— the point where God’s patience with man gives way to His righteous dealings with sin.

24 — The Seed of the Woman; the Body of Christ 

• 24 is a multiple of 12, the number of divine government — 12 Tribes, 12 Apostles.

• It is connected to divine government because it connects to the body of the Seed of the Woman (Gen 3:15), fulfilled in Christ. Notably, the first recorded words of Jesus, who embodies this seed, were spoken at the age of 12—the same age when a girl becomes a woman in Israel during her Bat Mitzvah.

• As a multiple of 12, that is tied to the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 Apostles, the number 24 represents the Old and New Testament groups that collectively symbolize the body of Jesus in the world. Together they helped to establish the 'Seed of the Woman' (the tribes gave rise to His seed) and propagate His prophetic mission that was to crush the head of Satan, and dismantle the forces of darkness, when the apostles took the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

• Symbolized by the 24 elders in Heaven — the completed redeemed community — the union of Israel and the Church, the body of Christ.

• Thus 24 symbolizes the people who belong to the Messiah - they are part of the 'spiritual body' formed from the 'Seed of the Woman'.

45 — Gathering to Meet God

• The number 45 is linked to Adam, whose name carries a numerical value of 45 in Hebrew gematria.

• Throughout Scripture, the number 45 resonates with the journey of humanity. The Israelites’ departure from Egypt on Nisan 15 marked the beginning of journey that would end in the establishment of a covenant between God and His chosen people; and just 45 days later, they arrived at Sinai on Sivan 1 to meet with their God for the first time. 

• The Exodus 'timeframe' is significant because 45 mirrors the value associated with Adam, the first human who was expelled from the Garden of Eden to go into the wilderness; and here being led by Moses (a type of the Messiah) were a people gathering before God in the wilderness getting ready to return to a Promised Land, that was like a garden, being described as flowing with Milk and Honey.

• By reaching Sinai on the 45^th day, we are again reminded of a future moment when all of humanity, represented by Adam, will stand before God once more, to determine if He will truly be their God.

• Also, because it involved Israel, the chosen people of God, arriving at Mount Sinai 45 days after the Exodus — it also symbolically points to the moment when the redeemed people, living in the end-times, the last of the last-days, are gathered to meet God.

• As Israel retraces Adam's journey through the wilderness, Christ—the Second Adam—fulfils a mission that neither the original Adam nor Israel could accomplish before Him: leading humanity back to God. In this context, 45 subtly symbolizes grace:

○ it merges the number of trial (40) with the notion of divine favour (5), encapsulating the narrative of a people and a savior transforming wandering into homecoming and exile into acceptance.

• Since it symbolizes God’s people gathering to meet Him — 45 is essentially a picture of the Rapture.

46 — The Son of Man; the Incarnate Gateway to God and the Rapture

• 46 speaks directly to the mystery of the Incarnation, for humanity is defined by 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.

• Jesus, the eternal Word, took on this full human structure defined by 46, becoming the Son of Man — His favorite self‑designation in the Gospels.

• Solomon’s Temple contained two pillars, each 18 cubits high (a number evoking the fullness of human sin: 6+6+6), crowned with 5‑cubit capitals (grace). Each pillar totaled 23 cubits, and together they formed 46 — a hidden foreshadowing of the One who would become flesh to open the way to God.

• The work of the Son of Man (46) enabled worshippers to enter the Holy Place - to do so they had to pass between these two pillars (46) — just as all must pass through Christ, the true Temple, to reach the Father who dwells between the cherubim.

• Because 46 = 23 × 2, it also reflects the dual nature of Christ’s work: salvation for those who believe, judgment for those who reject Him.

• And in Luke 21:36, Jesus ties this number to the Rapture, urging believers to watch and pray so they may “stand before the Son of Man” (46) — the One who became fully human to redeem humanity.

• Again notably, given the number 6 is the number of 'man', and 46 represents the Son of Man, then as will be seen later it is significant that 46 x 6 = 276 the number we are predominantly building to in this article.

47 — The Threshold of Covenant Fulfillment

• 47 symbolizes standing at the threshold of God’s promises.

• Israel stood at the Jordan exactly 470 years (47 × 10), after the promise to Abraham, ready to enter the Land. This was comprised of the 430 years to the day that Exodus 12:40-41 spoke about in relation to the Israelites exodus from Egypt plus the 40 years of the wilderness wandering - 430 + 40 = 470. I will speak more on the significance of the number 430 later in this article.

• In 1947, the 47^th year of the 20^th Century, the United Nations voted to restore Israel as a nation — the threshold moment before the prophetic rebirth of 1948.

• Thus 47 marks the brink of fulfilment, the moment just before promise becomes reality.

69 — Completion of the 69^th Week; Divine Fullness Bringing Judgment and Salvation

• The number 69 stands at the prophetic hinge of Daniel’s vision — the moment when the Messiah is “cut off” after sixty‑nine weeks (Daniel 9:26). It marks the exact point in history when Jesus cried, “It is Finished,” completing the redemptive work that paused God’s prophetic clock.

• Yet 69 carries deeper symbolic meaning, for it is 23 × 3. The number 23 represents the moment when God ceases striving with sinful humanity and begins to act in judgment, while 3 represents divine fullness — the fullness of the Godhead, the Trinity, the complete expression of God’s nature. Sin was judged on the Cross and so man will either be 'in Christ', with their sins covered, or will stand before God 'spiritually naked' having to account for it themselves, without any covering.

• Thus 69 becomes the fullness of divine judgment falling upon sin — not upon the sinner, but upon the Son of Man who bore the sins of the world. It is the moment when the judgment symbolised by 23 reaches its highest expression through the triune God’s act of sacrificial love - Son of Man (46) + judgement (23) = 69

• This is why the 69^th week is separated from the 70^th: the message of the Cross — the message of 69 — has been going out to the world for nearly two thousand years. This long pause is the Age of Grace, a divine act of mercy in which God extends salvation to all who will believe and be grafted into Israel - Promises (47) + Israel (22) = 69

• Jesus died at the age of 33, a number that itself carries symbolic weight: 3 × 11. The number 11 is associated with the “little horn” of Daniel 7 — the Antichrist, the ultimate man of sin. At the Cross, Christ defeated not only sin and death, but also the spiritual power behind the coming Antichrist. Then His death also occurred under the shadow of 36 — a number tied to the fullness of human sin (6+6+6 and 6+6+6, or 6²). Jesus at the age of 33 bore the complete weight of sin’s curse, the full measure of what would otherwise condemn humanity to the second death — eternal separation from the Light and Love of God - 33 + 36 = 69

• Thus 69 represents the complete victory of God over sin, death, and the powers of darkness. He came into the world to reverse the curse and at the age of 30 He was baptized to become the High Priest so that He could apply His own blood to the Mercy Seat upon the Ark that is in Heaven, and under the terms of the Old Covenant (Testament) that was revealed in the 39 books of the bible, as the solution for our Rebellion represented by 13, the Triune God (3), reconciled us to Himself 13 x 3 = 39 and 30 + 39 = 69 before crying out from the Cross that "IT IS FINISHED".

So, 69 is the number that leads to the Rapture for those who believe and to the Tribulation for those who reject Him. It is the doorway between the finished work of Christ and the final unfolding of God’s plan in the 70^th week, which culminates in Christ’s return, the defeat of evil upon the earth, the millennial reign, and the final White Throne Judgment.

All of these numbers arise naturally from the mathematics that involves the set of three numbers - 22, 23, and 24. Nothing is forced; this is simply what always happens when these three elements are combined under the rules of combinatorics.

Importantly, they lead us to a hidden prophetic meaning that points us to the Rapture. Essentially, God in Jesus is always declaring the End from the Beginning, or in this instance the "new Beginning from the End" of the 69^th Week.

Hidden Prophecy - from Numbers on the Cross

As we now consider the fuller meanings of these 7 numbers  (22; 23; 24; 45; 46; 47; and 69), that originate from Jesus' cry on the Cross, when He quoted from Psalm 22 that pointed to the triad of Psalms 22, 23 and 24 and proclaimed that "IT IS FINISHED" we see a prophetic pattern begin to emerge:

It is a quiet indication that a moment in time is approaching when God will gather all who have been grafted into Israel (22) and hide them while His righteous judgment falls upon a world, with which He will no longer strive (23). Those who belong to the Seed of the Woman (24) — who, like the worshipper of Psalm 24, possess clean hands and a pure heart — will be gathered to meet the Lord (45) in the air. They will stand before the Son of Man (46), the One who became fully human to redeem humanity, and they will cross the threshold into the fullness of God’s covenant promises (47) as He takes them to the Father’s house, just as He promised in John 14. Meanwhile, for those who reject Him, the prophetic clock that paused when Jesus declared “IT IS FINISHED,” marking the end of Daniel’s 69^th week (69), will begin again as the world enters the 70^th week — the 'time of Jacob’s Trouble'.

God's Prophetic Clock Marker

One of the clear numerical Indicators that the prophetic clock is about to begin again, and that we are about to transition from the 69^th Week of Daniel to the 70^th was revealed in Ezekiel, the 26^th Book of the Bible, which I believe is a hint in and of itself because it connects to 2026. I wrote on this is a previous article (Click here for further information on the Prophetic Clock Marker, or here for the full- article called Ezekiel's Mathematical Pathway to the Rapture), but will briefly summarize what I believe God's Prophetic Clock Marker actually is here.

Essentially, it is based upon the number 93, which was the number that represented a timing difference in God's description of one period of time, from the Exodus of Egypt unto the 4^th year of Solomon's reign, when Solomon began to build the Temple that would house the presence of God among His people. So, this is a significant period that takes us symbolically from being slaves to sin in the world (Egypt) to being children of the "most high God" dwelling in His presence, as represented by the Temple.

Significantly, the length of time between these two events was described in two bible references, with 1 Kings 6 stating it was 480 years and Acts 13 summarizing the events within this period, such that it adds to 573, with 93 years being the difference between the two figures (573 - 480 = 93). 

Clearly both 480 and 573 years for the same time period cannot be correct. When one investigates this further, the resolution is found in the fact that during the period of the Judges in Israel, which was a period occurring between the two events we are looking at, you discover that whenever Israel, as a nation, was not walking with the LORD, He gave them over to foreign rulers who made their life hard. This caused them to return to God, crying out for Him to save them, which He always did.

Ultimately, the total time that they were under the rule of their enemies (during this period) amounted to 93 years and through this God was revealing that as far as His Prophetic Clock is concerned, He does not count the years when His people are out of relationship with Him - this makes the number 93 a symbolic 'Prophetic Clock Marker'. That is, it is a numerical indicator of when God's prophetic clock stops and starts.

Notably: the prophetic clock is always tied to His relationship with His Chosen People (Israel), chosen not because of who they were, but because of who He is and it was His desire for them not only to be the physical nation that completed the seed-line of the Messiah, which by no coincidence equates to the 39 that symbolized the Old Covenant I spoke about above (see below for the genealogical list), but His intention was always for them to become a nation of Priests who could take the Gospel of what the Messiah, the Christ, has done to the ends of the earth, so that all men (all spiritually grafted into Israel) will be saved. As God's Will, as encapsulated by His covenants, always comes to pass, the final aspect of this mission for Israel, as a nation, will be completed during the "time of Jacobs Trouble" (aka the Tribulation) when the Two Witnesses and the 144,000 sealed Jewish believers of God, will for the first 1260 days, or 3.5 years, do precisely that, and many will be saved in the mid-Tribulation Harvest, spoken about in Revelation 14.

39 generations of the Messianic Seed-line from Jacob (ISRAEL) to Jesus - as recorded in Matthew 1

Jacob (ISRAEL) → Judah → Perez → Hezron → Ram → Amminadab → Nahshon → Salmon → Boaz → Obed → Jesse → David → Solomon → Rehoboam → Abijah → Asa → Jehoshaphat → Joram → Uzziah → Jotham → Ahaz → Hezekiah → Manasseh → Amon → Josiah → Jeconiah (Exile) → Shealtiel → Zerubbabel → Abiud → Eliakim → Azor → Zadok → Achim → Eliud → Eleazar → Matthan → Jacob → Joseph (husband of Mary) → Jesus

So in this respect, given that no one argues that God's Prophetic Clock, in relation to Daniel's 70^th week prophecy—that was about God's people ISRAEL— stopped at the 69^th week, with Jesus on the Cross being the Messiah who is cut off, it is important that God reveals where it will begin again, as that will identify the beginning of the last 70^th week. Arguably, I believe God may be doing this in by revealing the Prophetic Clock Marker as symbolized by the number 93 in a number of ways.

Firstly, God not only ensured that this number was fixed in scripture, with it being the difference between 1Kings 6 and Acts 13, but He also highlighted it in the book of Ezekiel with 93 references of the "Son of Man", throughout its verses. This is 'hands down' the greatest number of references of Jesus' favorite title for Himself, in the entire bible, as the following table shows:

Summary Table:

This is important because it is the redemptive work of Jesus as the 'Son of Man' that actually provides a way of salvation for mankind to return to God in righteousness, just as it says in Psalm 24:

⁵ He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. ⁶ This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah ⁷ Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. ⁸ Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Psalms 24:5-8

Amazingly, God also reveals 93 in the value of the Hebrew word for a Psalm - מִזְמוֹר (mizmôr), as the following table shows: 

So, the fact that Jesus last words on the Cross are a quote from a Psalm is incredibly significant— not just because they are His last words, but because of what they are pointing to.

Here the total of 293 can be written as an additive pair of 200 + 93, where because 100 represents the fallen generation, 200 becomes symbolic of the redeemed generation, who are those saved by the Son of God (2) the second person of the Godhead, who changes the fallen (100) to be the redeemed (200) - 100 x 2.

Then the redeemed (200), who are those that have received His sacrifice described in Psalm 22 and have learnt to walk with Him as their Shepherd described in Psalm 23, they will be the ones who at an appointed time will see Him come in Glory, as described in Psalm 24, when He turns the prophetic clock back on in connection with the number 93, which is the value hidden in the Hebrew word for PSALM.

Significantly, it is also hidden numerically in the numbers of the Power Set (22, 23, 24, 45, 46, 47, and 69) of the three Psalms 22, 23, and 24, that we have been discussing because 24 + 69 = 93.

So, all of this is either purely all coincidence, or it is exactly what it appears to be in that through these numbers, God is telling us that in conjunction with what He is revealing through them, He will be turning the prophetic clock back on, and we will be transitioning from the 69^th to the 70^th Week of Daniel; and as I have already hinted at, I believe the timing or season in which this will occur is revealed in relation to the number 276, which we are building towards throughout this article.

138 - The Fallen Generation and the Hidden Ones

With this basic outline and understanding laying our foundation, we can now turn our attention to what else God may be desiring to reveal to us through the numerical combinations of the numbers within the Powerset of 7 numbers. In this respect, when we turn from the individual numbers of the Power Set (in 22, 23, and 24) to the combinations they form, another layer of meaning emerges — a pattern that seems to whisper of the destiny of humanity and the hope reserved for the redeemed.

We have seen that the first three number 22, 23, and 24 combine to make 69 already and that this is the foundation of the revelation because it marked a moment in time when the 69^th week of Daniel was Finished and through the addition of 24 and 69 the result of 93 reveals that the numbers of the Power Set for the three Psalm numbers are not just random, but are actually pointing to a time when prophetically God's end-time events will transition to the 70^th week.

Next, the three numbers 45, 46, and 47 — representing humanity gathered to meet God (45), because of the work of the Son of Man (46), standing at the threshold of the fulfilment of covenant promises (47) — form a triad of their own. Not only do these numbers through the gathering together in fulfilment of covenant promises point to the Rapture, but when these three numbers are added together, they yield the number 138. 

Importantly, this number is not merely a sum, it is a symbol, for 138 naturally divides into 100 + 38, and in this division lies a profound prophetic picture: the story of the fallen generation (100) and the promise of those who will be hidden in Christ, when they are caught up in the event of the Rapture (38).

How these biblical themes of the fallen generation being Raptured and hidden in Christ are actually connected to the numbers 100 and 38 will be discussed in the following two sections:

The Meaning of 100 — The Fallen Generation

The number 100 stands as a profound symbol of humanity after the Fall — the first generation born outside the Garden, separated from the presence of God. To understand why, we must return to the rhythms God wove into creation itself. From the beginning, God ordered time around the number 7, the number that reflects His own sevenfold Spiritual nature, revealed in Isaiah 11:2 — the Spirit of the LORD, of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the LORD.

This Spirit of God hovered over the waters in Genesis 1, ready to breathe life into all living creatures, as the Word of God went forth speaking into existence and shaping all of Creation in six days, before resting on the seventh, establishing the first Sabbath, which in Hebrew is the word שַׁבָּת (Shabbat - šaḇâṯ), that has the Strong's Bible Word Number H7676. Notably, when these numbers are added together that make: 7+6+7+6 = 26, which is also the value of God's personal name in the Tetragrammaton, that people pronounce as either Jehovah or Yahweh. This affirms the Sabbath is all about God and it is a time for man to stop his daily routine and both spend time with God and honor Him, for all He is.

Before Sin entered the world, the first two humans, Adam and Eve, the mother and father of all of humanity, lived in perfect harmony with their Creator, resting in the divine order of God’s appointed Sabbaths. Originally this divine rhythm extended into their life as a:

• a weekly Sabbath every seven days,

• a Sabbath year every seven years (the Shmitah),

• and every seven Shmitahs — forty‑nine years - as it was 7 x7 = 49 that represented a full Sabbath cycle. This is why Daniel's 70th Week Prophecy is based upon 70 x 7 = 490. It is the third and final Sabbath Cycle that was never completed in the Garden of Eden, which ended at 2 x 49 years before Adam sinned at 99. It is 490 (49 x 10) rather than just 49 because to reestablish the righteousness that existed prior to the Fall, God in Jesus on the Cross had to fulfil the Law of Sin and Death, which numerically is represented by 10 as seen biblically in the 10 commandments that represented the whole of the Law. So, the third and final 49 became the 490 of Daniels prophecy and the 70 x 7 times that one must forgive, that was revealed when Peter asked Jesus about forgiveness.

Initially, because there was no Sin there, God's first children were able to continue in an unbroken chain of Sabbath Cycles, there was no need for a Jubilee year at that time. Rather, that would be introduced after Israel was created as a nation and came into the Land, when the Jubilee, the fiftieth year, would become an appointed time for debts to be forgiven; for slaves to be set freed; and for everything lost to be restored.

So, the pattern of 49 + 49 — two cycles of seven sevens — became a key to understanding the state of humanity before the Fall. For Adam and Eve, who had not yet sinned, lived in perfect righteousness before God. The structure of Scripture affirms this and suggests that they walked with Him in innocence for 98 years — two full sabbatical cycles — before the serpent’s deception shattered that harmony. Thus the number 98 became a symbol of humanity’s original righteousness, the last moment when mankind stood unblemished before the Creator. This is reflected in the astonishing fact that the name Jesus appears 980 times in the King James Bible — 98 × 10 — as though the One who fulfilled the Law (symbolized by the Ten Commandments (10)) stands as the bridge between God and the last moment humanity walked in innocence.

Even more remarkably, these 980 occurrences divide perfectly into 490 in the odd-numbered New Testament books and 490 in the even-numbered books — a symmetry that mirrors Daniel’s 70 weeks (70 × 7 = 490), the prophetic measure of perfect forgiveness and the end of all Trangression;, Sin; and Iniquity; and the establishment of everlasting Righteousness. Importantly, it does this even though the odd-numbered books have twice as many words as in the even-numbered books, and every common word checked reflects this 2:1 ratio, except for the name of Jesus. His name occurs precisely 490 times in both groups, confirming that the One who fulfils the Law is also our Sabbath rest. 

All of this also reveals God's amazing intentionality in relation to numbers.

Evidence of this can be seen on the following web-site KJV Code that has been created by Brandon Peterson, who has done some incredible work in connection with the hidden codes and structures in the King James Version Bible.

Click here to see more information related to the detailed image below:

Thus, the 98 years before the Fall point to the original righteousness of humanity, and by extension 99 logically represents Adam's age when he sinned, severing mankind's perfect relationship with a Holy God. Then the 100^th year of Adam's life marks the moment when the first generation was born outside the Garden of Eden (after Adam and Eve were expelled) — the fallen generation.

This sequence that started when Adam was 99 is why God, who scripture repeatedly shows perfectly reverses the curse, appeared to Abram (whose name meant exalted Father) when he was 99, promising a son (as a type of God the Father promising His own Son in Jesus) and changing his name to Abraham (that means Father of a multitude) symbolizing the fulfillment of some of the covenant promises that would continue through his son. God then returned when Abraham was 100, the age that symbolically marks the birth of the fallen line, mirroring the age of Adam when Cain and Able, the first generation were born (remembering that Adam and Eve were not begotten, rather they were special creations). Even Genesis 15 hints at this pattern, when God speaks of Israel returning in the fourth generation, equating a generation with 100 years:

¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵ Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. ¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” Genesis 15:13-16

So, this is how the number 100 becomes a symbol of humanity after the Fall — a being created in God's image, but now fallen from grace and separated from God, in need of redemption, awaiting the One who would restore what was lost.

The Meaning of 38 — Hidden in Christ and the Rapture

While 100 represents the fallen generation, 38 represents the hope of those who will be hidden in Christ. The number 38 is a multiple of 19, being 19 × 2, and the number 19 carries a consistent biblical theme:

It relates to those who are not yet accountable, those who are covered, those who are protected, as the following examples show:

• When Israel refused to enter the Promised Land, God decreed that all 20 years and older would die in the wilderness, but those 19 and younger were preserved.

• Eve’s name carries the value 19, reflecting that she was deceived, not held accountable for Sin in the same way Adam was.

• Only those 20 and older could serve in the Temple — again marking 19 as the age of covering.

This theme deepens in the story of Noah. After the floodwaters dried, Scripture records a 57‑day delay before God told Noah to leave the Ark:

¹³ 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. ¹⁴ And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. ¹⁵ And God spoke unto Noah, saying, ¹⁶ Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. Genesis 8:13-16

As the calendar months, at that time, were 30 days long, then from the 1^st day of the first month to the 27^th day of the second month there were 57 days (30 + 27) and 57 = 19 × 3 — which as a multiple of the number 19 and 3 can be understood as a triple, or divine expression of being hidden, or protected, and preserved by the Triune God.

Then to understand the full significance of this, it is important to understand that in scripture, the Ark is also a picture of Christ:

• 1 Peter 3:20-21 directly links the salvation found in the Ark to the salvation found in baptism/resurrection:

²⁰ Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. ²¹ The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 3:20-21

• Just as being in the Ark saved Noah and his family from God's judgment (the flood), Christians are saved from God's final judgment by being in Jesus because they are trusting for the blood of Jesus to cover and atone for our sins and iniquities. This profound truth is foreshadowed by the eight individuals who trusted in God’s promise of deliverance from impending judgment when they entered the Ark that Noah was told to 'Pitch', which in Hebrew is the word כָּפַר that at its most basic level it means to cover (Strongs h3722 - see images below). Significantly, he was told to pitch it with 'Pitch' (Strongs h3724), which in Hebrew was a slightly different form of the same word in כֹּפֶר, that now carries the meanings for ransom or redeem, as well as for bitumen, the black tar that is used in roads today that ironically makes a way for us.

Ultimately, this is the same word used in a third form, for the Day of Atonement, the holiest Day of the Jewish Year. This was when the High Priest would apply the Blood of the Sacrifice to the Mercy Seat to cleanse and atone for the Sins of the people. However, because the blood of animals cannot permanently cleanse us, it was always looking towards the day when Jesus as our High Priest would shed His blood as the perfect Passover Lamb of God. As it shows in Hebrews 9:12ff, Jesus applied His blood to the mercy seat in the heavenlies, as our High Priest. It states that He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, securing eternal redemption. Importantly, these verses emphasize that Jesus' sacrifice was unique and final, replacing the need for the repeated sacrifices made by the High Priests in the Old Testament.

Note: As the following images show, the consonants remained the same, it is only the vowel pointing that changed and these did not exist until around the 10th Century when the Masoretes began to add them in to help ensure the correct pronunciation of words.

• Additionally, Jesus and the Apostles refer to the flood as a historical event that parallels the "last days" (Matthew 24:37–42), making the symbolism a direct application of that history:

³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, ³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴² Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24:37-42.

So just as the Ark sheltered or hid Noah from the world that had been ravaged by Gods wrath, and he remained in the Ark for a further 57 days - 19 x 3 —after the flood had actually ended, until the moment God called him into a new world— those who are hidden in Christ will be protected from the events of the Tribulation by being Raptured prior to this final 7 years beginning. It will be a time of transition and new beginnings for those who have put their faith in Jesus. It will be a time when believers exchange their corruptible being for the incorruptible of Christ, as shown in 1 Corinthians 15:

⁵² In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinthians 15:52-55

Significantly, Noah left the protection of the Ark 57 days after the flood ended, to begin his new life on the 58th day - noting that 58 symbolically represents the new beginning that Jesus purchased for us on the Cross because 50 represents the Jubilee, when all that was lost is restored, and 8 is Jesus personal number (as discussed elsewhere) and 50 + 8 = 50.

Even Noah’s name reflects this transition because in Hebrew, Noah is נֹחַ (Noach), meaning rest or comfort and the word for grace, חֵן (chen), are the same two letters in reverse order, and numerically these two letters carry the value of 58. This is a divine signature because the man whose name literally embodies grace that was turned toward humanity — the comfort of God extended to a world under judgment — he literally had a new beginning on the 58^th day after the flood. Again, this reveals God's intentionality with numbers because He delayed Noah the precise number of days to reveal all of this to us. For if He had delayed Noah, for say 59 days, to ensure the earth was fully dry, then none of these numbers would have fit with his name and the multiple of 19 would not have existed in connection with the flood, which would have resulted in the whole parallel and understanding of it being a type of those hidden in Christ, would be lost.

So, God's numbers are important for ensuring that this is all a prophetic picture of salvation. The 57 (19 x 3) days inside the Ark symbolized a period of being hidden in Christ, covered by grace, preserved from judgment. The 58^th day symbolized the beginning of new life — resurrection, renewal, and the comfort of God. All of which makes Noah’s emergence from the Ark a shadow of the believer’s emergence into eternal life, after being hidden in Christ during the time of divine indignation (Tribulation).

This theme is echoed in Isaiah 26:19–21, where resurrection and hiding are woven together:

¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. ²⁰ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ²¹ For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: -- the earth also shall disclose -- her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:19-21

This is the language of the Rapture — the Bride entering the bridal chamber while judgment falls upon the earth. It is the same pattern seen in Noah's narrative: resurrection life (v. 19), hiding in chambers (v. 20), and divine judgment on the earth (v. 21).

Thus 38, as another multiple of 19 being 19 × 2, also becomes a number of protection (19), and a symbol of those who are in union with the 2^nd person of the Godhead - the Son of God (2) being hidden in Christ before judgment falls. In this regard, I believe it is no coincidence that it is chapter 38 in Ezekiel that describes the great end‑time conflict — the Gog/Magog war — a moment that many believe will either precede, trigger, or coincide with the Rapture. Nor is it accidental that Isaiah 26:19–21 beginning at verse 19, speaks of resurrection, hiding, and divine indignation in the same breath.

Through all of this, 38 (19 x 2) becomes a prophetic number pointing to the Rapture — the moment when the redeemed are hidden in Christ, sheltered from the coming indignation, and brought into the comfort and grace symbolized by Noah’s name. It is the number of the hidden ones, the Bride preserved before the final outpouring of divine wrath.

So, in summary, the triad 45 + 46 + 47 — humanity gathered to meet God (45), in the Son of Man (46) who opens the way for us to stand at the threshold of covenant fulfillment (47) — adds to 138, which divides into:

• 100 — the fallen generation

• 38 — the hidden ones, preserved in Christ

This is the story of the Rapture in numerical form: the fallen race (100) and the redeemed who will be hidden in Christ (38) when He comes to gather His people.

And all of this flows from Jesus’ cry on the Cross — His deliberate invocation of Psalm 22, which pointed not only to His suffering, but to the triad of Psalms 22, 23, and 24. These psalms, when viewed through the Power Set, yield the numbers that ultimately lead us to 138, the prophetic picture of the fallen generation and the hidden Bride.

It is as though, in His final moments, Jesus was not only bearing our sin, but also unveiling a numerical tapestry that stretches from Eden to the Rapture — from the fall of man to the moment when the redeemed will be gathered to meet the LORD in the air.

The Revelation of 276 

Further to all of this, there is an even greater significance that can be seen in relation to the number 138 because it is not only formed by a triad from the Power Set:

45 + 46 + 47 = 138,

but also, by the sum of the original triad of Psalms (22, 23, 24) and their prophetic culmination of 69 (22+23+24 = 69) that results in a second instance of 138:

22 + 23 + 24 + 69 = 138.

In this way, God is emphasizing that 138 stands at the very heart of the revelation flowing from the Power Set — a revelation of the Rapture that began when Jesus cried out the opening line of Psalm 22 from the Cross.

At the very moment that Jesus was atoning for our Sin, He was graciously also revealing that not only was He making a way for fallen mankind to return to God, but He was actually pointing to how this would occur. It would happen in the middle of judgement upon an unbelieving world, as a Holy God begins to pour out His wrath. As such, it would become the greatest rescue mission known to man, that until it occurs, is known in scripture as the Blessed Hope:

¹³ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

However, the fullness of this revelation only emerges when, as we said in the Introduction, we consider the total value of the entire Power Set — all seven non‑empty subsets generated from the triad of Psalms 22, 23, and 24:

22 + 23 + 24 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 69 = 276 (138 x 2)

Finally, we reach this number, 276, that we have been building towards; and as I said previously, in the opening discussion on the triad, it sits at the pinnacle of this whole revelation. As such, it is not a random number that is incidental to all of this, rather it is another of God's special Triangular numbers, that He has chosen to highlight the central message of the Cross in Scripture with. It does so with extraordinary precision, both revealing the story of the fallen generation and the hidden ones, and as will be seen—when we expound on its triangular structure— it hints at some timing clues that should generate some considerable excitement in us, as we look eagerly for the LORD's return.

276 — Its connection to Salvation

To give this number its Biblical context, we see 276 appearing explicitly in Acts 27:37–44, where Paul is aboard a ship caught in a violent storm. The vessel is driven uncontrollably toward destruction, battered by winds and waves, until it finally breaks apart on the rocks. And yet — in the midst of chaos, judgment, and the fury of the sea — every one of the 276 souls is saved.

³⁷ And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. ³⁸ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. ³⁹ And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. ⁴⁰ And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. ⁴¹ And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart -- stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. ⁴² And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. ⁴³ But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: ⁴⁴ And the rest, some on boards, and some -- on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. Acts 27:37-44

This is not merely a historical detail. It is a prophetic sign.

The number 276 is tied directly to salvation — to God’s power to preserve life in the midst of judgment. And because this number arises from the Power Set that began with Jesus’ cry from the Cross, it becomes a numerical echo of the Gospel itself:

'Salvation through the sacrifice of Christ, Deliverance through the One who calms the storm, and rescues the perishing'.

But the wonders of 276 do not end there.

276 — The 23^rd Triangular Number - The Seal of Salvation and Judgment

As already stated, mathematically, 276 is the value of the 23^rd Triangular number — T23.

This is calculated by the formula for Triangular numbers: Tn = N(n+1)/2:

T23 = 23 (23+1) / 2

T23 = 23 (24) / 2

T23 = 552 / 2

T23 = 276

Triangular numbers are not arbitrary curiosities; they are mathematical structures that reveal relationships, connections, and patterns. I have written about these in my last two articles, which can be read by clicking here and here.

Essentially, a Triangular number is formed by arranging points into a perfect triangle — a shape that itself reflects the divine triad, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a mathematical way of joining two numbers together. Biblically it means that the two numbers will share a prophetic theme. Thus 276, as the triangular value of the 23^rd Triangular number, is inseparably linked to 23, the number we have already seen that represents the moment when God no longer strives with sinful man and begins to act in judgment.

Since the number of souls saved in Acts 27 is equivalent to the mathematical value of the 23^rd Triangle the two numbers (23 and 276) combine to create a prophetic picture:

'Salvation in the midst of judgment, Deliverance in the moment when God ceases striving' 

This points directly to the Rapture and the beginning of Daniel’s 70^th week — 'The Time of Jacob’s Trouble' — when God will again deal with the world in judgment after the long pause of the Age of Grace. Those being caught up into the air to be with the LORD will be saved, while simultaneously those left-behind will enter the Tribulation and experience the judgement of the wrath of God, who is no longer striving with the Sin of man.

The Structure Within the 23^rd Triangle - T23 as T11 + T11 + T11 + T12

The revelation deepens when we examine how the 23^rd Triangle can be decomposed.

Mathematically, T23 can be formed from four smaller triangles:

• Three T11 triangles, each with a value of 66

66 + 66 + 66 = 198

• One T12 triangle, with a value of 78

Thus: 66 + 66 + 66 + 78 = 276 

As the following image shows:

The Three T11 Triangles — The Realm of the Antichrist

This structure is astonishing in its prophetic symbolism, as the number 11 associated with the T11 Triangles is the number of the “little horn” in Daniel 7 — the Antichrist and the value 66 can be written as 11 × 6, symbolizing man (6) under the influence of the Antichrist (11).

And because there are three such triangles:

66 + 66 + 66 = 198

This can be seen as:

• Threefold 66 — a shadow of 666, the number of the Beast

• Or 33 × 6 = 198 — a reminder that Jesus at 33 became sin for mankind (6), and that the Gospel will still go forth during the Tribulation

Thus, the three T11 Triangles represent the world under the sway of the Antichrist during Daniel’s 70^th week — the realm of judgment, deception, and rebellion.

Additionally though, because these three triangles total 198, that can be written as 100 + 98, it is also a clue that God's heart through all of this, including the pouring out of His wrath during the Tribulation, is ultimately to restore the fallen generation (100) back to the righteousness (98) that He had with them in the Garden prior to the Fall, so that once again He could dwell and walk with them.

The T12 Triangle — The Redeemed, the Disciples, the Raptured

Additionally, the T12 Triangle, with a value of 78, stands in stark contrast. The number 12 represents divine government of the Seed of the Woman - in Jesus. It is all about God and those that belong to him, as found in the tribes of Israel, the apostles, the disciples of Christ, with Christians actually being described as the body of Christ.

The value 78 is itself prophetic:

• 1948 + 78 = 2026, so it could be a pointer to the Rapture in line with the Fig Tree prophecy, which states that the generation that sees Israel reborn will not pass away until all the signs of Matthew 24, including the Rapture come to pass. Then Psalm 90 declares that a generation is 70 years or 80 if by strength and clearly 78 fits this category with it actually including both of the numbers of this Psalm if one ignores the '0', which in bible numerics is a common practice.  

• 78 stands as the portion of the triangle representing the redeemed — those who will be removed, rescued, raptured before the full fury of judgment falls. In this respect, its factors (the numbers that multiply together to make the whole) are very revealing:

• (1, 78): 1 x 78 = 78

○ Fig Tree prophecy - possibly!

• (3, 26): 3 x 26 = 78

○ Divine Sovereignty (26) as the personal name יְהוָֹה (Yehovah / Yahweh) of the Triune God (represented by 3) carries the value of 26 x 3.

• (6, 13): 6 x 13 = 78

○ Both the Rebellion (13) and Redemption (13) of Man (6) can result in the number 78 because God perfectly reverses the curse of the rebellion, represented by 13.

• This Redemption (13) is seen when in a divine act by the triune God (3) He fulfils the Old Covenant established by the Law - God (3) in relation to the Rebellion (13). In this way Rebellion / Redemption (13) x 3 = 39, which again is associated with the number of books in the Old Covenant / Testament

• (2, 39): 2 x 39 = 78

○ Jesus (2) fulfilled the Old Covenant / Testament that was revealed in 39 books to establish the New Covenant / Testament. 

○ Additionally, the importance of 39 is seen because it is connected to the total prophetic span of time from the fall of Adam (Rebellion) to Christ (Redemption), which was the span of the Old Covenant that symbolically associated with 3900 (39 x 100) years, as the following shows:

• 1948 - Genealogies of Genesis show Abraham born 1948 years after Adam

• 75 - Abraham called at 75 years of age.

• 430 - Exodus 12:41 and Galatians 3:17 state that it was precisely 430 years from the promises of Abraham unto the Exodus from Egypt

• 480 - 1 Kings 6 states that it was 480 years from the Exodus to the 4^th year of Solomon when He began to build the Temple.

• 966 - Archaeology states that the Temple was started in 966 BC.

• 1 - Then adjusting for no year '0' by adding '1' you get:

Total = 1948 + 75 + 430 + 480 + 966 + 1 = 3900 

Important Note: it should be noted that as stated above, this 3900 (39 x100) is actually a symbolic number because Acts 13, as I also detailed above, summarized a portion of this history from the Exodus unto the 4^th year of Solomon's reign as being 93 years longer than the 480 years recorded in 1 Kings 6. This indicates that the real-time in the calculation above could be established with 573 years, not 480 years, producing a total figure of 3993 (instead of 3900), which would change the meaning of what God is revealing here. Even though both numbers would show that Jesus came near the end of the 4^th Day (1,000 year - day), God stopped the prophetic clock to emphasize the numbers 480 and 3900 for a reason. And in relation to this discussion, from 3900 (39 x 10) we can see 39's connection to 78, being 39 x 2, which as above connects Jesus (2) as the second person of the Godhead, fulfilling the Old Covenant / Testament, represented by the 39 books that God used to reveal it. It is literally, Jesus fulfilling the Law of Sin and Death.

Then, in this regard, I also noted that the book of Ezekiel, which is the 26^th book of the bible, that possibly has many pointers to this year, also uses Jesus' favorite title for Himself in the Gospels in the "Son of Man" precisely 93 times. This is significant because as discussed earlier in this article, it could all be affirming that in 2026, 78 (39 x 2) years after Israel's rebirth, that God could be about to turn the Prophetic Clock back on to begin the 70^th week of Daniel, that would start with the pre-Tribulation Rapture. Significantly, Jesus states in Luke 21:36 that all believers should be praying always that they will be accounted worthy to escape all that is about to come upon the earth and stand before the "Son of Man" in that day:

³⁶ Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Thus, the T12 triangle, that carries the triangular value of 78, and that can be formed from factors 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, and 39, could all be symbolizing God's divine work and timing in relation to the Church, the Bride, the disciples of Jesus, who will be taken out before the Antichrist’s dominion reaches its full expression. And for those that want to deride the Pre-Tribulation Rapture as escapism for the weak, they need to understand that God's heart is not for His Bride to endure a time of unprecedented tribulation and suffering upon the earth, so Jesus Himself commands us to pray always that we will be accounted worthy to escape. So escaping is Jesus' idea and it is only those who are counted as worthy, by putting their total trust in Jesus, that will be taken. It should also be noted for those that believe that the Church will go through this time period, that this idea creates a serious contradiction in scripture, as the following will show. 

Firstly, the New Testament teaches that believers share in the high position of Jesus.

• Seated with Him: Paul writes that God raised believers up and "seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6).

• Far Above Authorities: This position is described as being "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion," meaning believers have a spiritual standing that is superior to any earthly or demonic force (Ephesians 1:21-22).

Then the New Testament applies the "chosen nation" imagery of Israel directly to the church, but with a focus on spiritual purpose:

• 1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession." This mirrors the status promised to Israel in Deuteronomy, positioning the church as a distinct, high-status group meant to "declare the praises" of God. 

Most importantly it points to a "Spiritual Authority Over the "Enemy". Instead of "tail-like" subservience to worldly enemies, the New Testament promises authority over spiritual ones: 

• Luke 10:19: Jesus told His followers, "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy."

• Romans 5:17: It says those who receive grace will "reign in life" through Jesus Christ, which is a New Testament way of saying they are in a position of leadership and victory rather than defeat

All of this speaks about the Spiritual Authority of the Church over the enemy, so if the Church was still here during the Tribulation, then the following passage in Revelation Chapter 13 that is introducing us to the Antichrist would create a massive contradiction because it states:

⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Revelation 13:7 

Here the saints are "believers in Jesus" during the Tribulation and so if that is describing the Church then all of the promises given to the body of Christ about victory over the enemy would be rendered mute and ultimately would be a complete inversion of the promises throughout the New Testament.

It is absolutely clear that it is an anachronism to place the Church— a royal priesthood that is seated with Christ in heavenly places with total power and authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the enemy, so that we can reign in life —into the Tribulation, where God is saying that He is actually going to give the Antichrist total power over all people including Christian believers (called saints here), such that the Antichrist will actually be able to overcome them.

For Jesus says that the Gates of Hell would never prevail against the Church, which means that Satan and his kingdom would never be able to stop the Church from overcoming and advancing, yet here in the Tribulation it is Satan and the Antichrist and all the demons of Hell that are released and are advancing and are literally overcoming.

Clearly, if God did not remove His church prior to this time, then He would be a Liar, which He is not. So again, in obedience to Jesus' command to the body of Christ in Luke 21:36 (notably, the verse numbers 21 and 36 sum to 57, underscoring the theme of being hidden in Christ), we should be praying always that we will be accounted worthy to escape all of this (which is actually the wrath of God against an unbelieving world) and stand before the Son of Man on the day of Christ in the Rapture. The Tribulation actually has nothing to do with the normal trials and testing that currently come upon believers during the Age of Grace, rather it is the wrath of God against an unbelieving world, as it says in Isaiah 26, and so the Church will not be here at that time:

²¹ For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: -- the earth also shall disclose -- her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:21 

Therefore, in adherence to Jesus' instruction to the body of Christ in Luke 21:36 (notably, the verse numbers 21 and 36 sum to 57, underscoring the theme of being hidden in Christ), we must continually pray that we may be found worthy to escape all these trials and stand before the Son of Man on the day of Christ during the Rapture.

The Whole T23 Triangle — Judgment and Salvation Intertwined

Further to all of this, when the four triangles that numerically comprise the 23^rd Triangle are placed together within its boundary (as seen in the image above), a prophetic picture emerges:

• The three T11 triangles represent the world under the Antichrist

• The T12 triangle represents the redeemed

• The boundary of T23 represents the moment when God no longer strives with man — the beginning of the Tribulation and the Rapture.

• And the total value 276 represents salvation in the midst of judgment

This is the story of the end of the age — the Rapture, the Tribulation, and the final unfolding of Daniel’s 70^th Week prophecy.

All Flowing From the Cry of the Cross

And all of this — every number, every pattern, every triangular structure — flows from the moment when Jesus cried out:

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

In that cry, He pointed to Psalm 22, which pointed to Psalms 23 and 24, which formed the triad that generated the Power Set, which produced the numbers that led us to 138, and ultimately to 276, the 23^rd Triangle, the number of Salvation in the midst of Judgment.

It is as though, in His final breath, Jesus was not only fulfilling Daniel’s 69^th week, but also unveiling the numerical tapestry that points to the transition into the 70^th — the time when God will once again act in judgment, when the Antichrist will rise, and when the redeemed will be hidden in Christ, just as Noah was hidden in the Ark.

The Cross is the hinge. The numbers are the echo. The Rapture is the next movement. And Daniel’s 70^th week is drawing near.

The Convergence of 276 — When All of God’s Numbers Speak Together

Yet the wonder of this numerical tapestry does not end with the 23^rd Triangle or the salvation of 276 souls in Acts 27.  In fact, what unfolds next reveals a level of divine orchestration so astonishing to me that it seems uniquely designed to 'awaken the Church' to the lateness of the hour. For amazingly, 276 does not arise from a single mathematical pathway — it emerges from two completely different prophetic structures, both rooted in Scripture, both converging on the same number, and both pointing toward the same narrow window of time.

1) On one side, 276 is the total value of the Power Set generated from the triad of Psalms that Jesus invoked on the Cross:

22 + 23 + 24 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 69 = 276

2) On the other side, 276 is the value of a Hebrew Word, with 6 forms, that is connected to a small window of time that includes the current year we are living in. It comes from a completely separate line of revelation — one not based upon Combinatorics, Triangular numbers, or Power Sets — instead it appears hidden within the structures of the Hebrew calendar, the Gregorian calendar, and the Strong’s numbering system.

Two paths → Two structures → One number (276) that connects the moment when Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” with a small window of time that includes the current year that we are living in. It is a convergence of the numbers that points to the years 2022 - 2027, that truly warns us that time is short. 

The following will expound a little on this second pathway to the end.

The 10‑Year Convergent Window — When Hebrew Years, Gregorian Years, and Strong’s Numbers Align

I wrote about this second pathway to the number 276 in a previous article titled "God’s End-Time Purposes Hidden in a Convergence of Hebrew and Gregorian Calendars", that can be read here. In it I observed something extraordinary:

Basically, there exists a unique 10‑year window, from 2020 to 2029, in which the Hebrew year number (e.g., 5786) and the Gregorian year number (e.g., 2026) align through the simple sum of the digits that form the Hebrew Year.

For example:

• Hebrew Year (5786): 5 + 7 + 8 + 6 = 26 → Gregorian Year 2026

• Hebrew Year (5787): 5 + 7 + 8 + 7 = 27 → Gregorian Year 2027

• and so on.

This alignment is not normal, and it is not common. In fact, I checked the next 478 years, and it did not happen again during that time. But the most astonishing part is this:

Within this 10‑year window, there are six Hebrew words — all derived from the same root עור — that carry the Strong’s Bible numbers that match the Hebrew Years 5782 through to 5787—that align with the Gregorian Years 2022 to 2027—and every one of them has the numerical value 276.

Six forms of One Word with One Root and One value. And that value is 276 — the same number revealed through the Power Set and the 23^rd Triangle connected with the triad of Psalms 22 ,23, and 24 that Jesus pointed to on the Cross.

Below is a 6-year portion of the 10-year convergent window, which shows the same numbers for the Hebrew Years as for the Strong's Bible numbers, that all correspond to 6 forms of the Hebrew word - עור - which all have the gematria value of 276:

Every one of these six forms carries the value 276.

And the meanings themselves form a prophetic progression that seems to parallel the spiritual condition of mankind throughout all of human history from the awakening temptation in the Garden to the deception and spiritual blindness that would be coming on the world, as it approaches the threshold of the Rapture and Tribulation: 

• 5782 - First there was an awakening/ lifting up - Symbolic of the serpent’s “awakening” temptation, a lifting up to be like God.

• 5783 - then nakedness - Symbolic of Adam and Eve’s physical awareness of "nakedness" - mirroring its physical consequence.

• 5784 - then the chaff - Symbolic of spiritual nakedness - the “chaff” imagery of Psalm 1 - its spiritual consequence / hiding from God.

• 5783 - then a Skin covering - Symbolic of God's covering of Adam and Eve with skins (Gen 3:21) - that pointed to Jesus' atonement.

• 5783 - followed by making blind - Symbolic of spiritual blindness and end‑times deception that we are currently experiencing.

• 5783 - and finally total blindness - Symbolic of final, hardened blindness leading into judgment for those who will enter the Tribulation.

Then because each of these words are occurring in connection with specific years within our convergent window from 2022 to 2027, it is as though God is describing the current spiritual condition of the world, within this window of time, as mirroring or reflecting that which spanned the whole of human history. 

2022 (5782: awakening / lifting up - Satan's original temptations) - Beginning in 2022 human history emerged from the Global lockdowns of Covid19, it was like a new awakening that mirrored that of Adam and Eve in the Garden, where the plain meaning of God's word to Adam was changed when Satan said to Eve "...did God really say...". Many began to redefine their spirituality and understanding of God's clear word, such that they did not return to Church preferring to continue doing it online, as they had throughout the previous year. In doing this, they ignored God's call not to forsake the "gathering", as recorded in Hebrews 10:

²⁴ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

The Greek word translated here as "assembling" is Strong's Bible Word: g1997 - ἐπισυναγωγὴν (episynagōgē) and contextually it is used to exhort believers not to forsake meeting or assembling together as we ... see the Day approaching, which is speaking about the Day when we will see Jesus appear in the Clouds to take us Home in the Rapture.

Amazingly, this word only occurs twice in the whole Bible, once here in Hebrews 10, to exhort believers not to forsake assembling together, and then in 2 Thessalonians 2, where it speaks of our "gathering together" to be with Jesus:

​¹ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him..." 2 Thessalonians 2:1

Sadly, this context of regularly gathering together in church, as a foreshadow of the Rapture, is lost in most modern bibles because of the translation's use of "assembling" or "meeting" in Hebrews 10:25 instead of "gathering" as in 2 Thessalonians 2:1.

It is exactly the same word, so it carries the same meaning in both locations, but by translating it with a different word in English, it gives is a slightly different nuance. This  makes one wonder if this is a deliberate attempt by modern translators to deemphasize the Rapture because the word is only used twice in the bible and both times the 'plain text' makes it clear that the word is connected to the Rapture, but the modern translation's use of different words in English creates a disconnect that did not exist in the Wycliffe (1382/1395) Bible that was the earliest complete English bible.

As the image below shows, the word used in this original English bible was "gathering". I have underlined it because it was actually written in what was referred to as "middle English", which predates modern English.

It says:

“not forsaking our gadering togidre, as it is the custom to some men…”

Here the word gadering is the Middle English noun corresponding to modern gathering.

Scholars estimate that 250–300 manuscripts of the originally hand-written Wycliffite Bible survive today, which is an astonishingly high number for an English text that predated the Printing Press. This number implies that Hundreds more once existed but were destroyed during suppression of the Catholic Church. Historically there was a large, organized copying network (the Lollards) and a strong demand among laypeople for Scripture in English. For comparison, many other Middle English works that survive today have between 1–5 manuscripts. So even though each handwritten copy took months to produce, the movement behind it was unusually active and because it was the first complete bible in English, it was very influential and it actually became the reference point for English biblical vocabulary for decades.

Most importantly, for this discussion, it shows that the word that is only used twice in the bible was certainly at that time understood exactly as we now understand it, in relation to our gathering together unto the LORD, that will occur in relation to the Rapture, as recorded in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 - although many want to deny today.

This spiritual shift in 2022 (awakening / temptation), where the understanding of God's word was modified by man's word, led to other parallels with the prophetic progression formed by the words with the value of 276, that trace man's spiritual fall from Grace in the Garden of Eden to its ultimate conclusion in the Tribulation.

2023 (5783: nakedness - physical consequence of sin), in 2023 we witnessed a significant reflection on the physical consequences of humanity's sin. Just as Adam and Eve became aware of their nakedness—creating a separation from God and bringing about judgment that is regularly associated with the number 23 in the bible (as it represents the end of God striving with sin)— we also encountered a massive attack on Israel on October 7^th. This event served as a reminder that judgement begins in the house of God, as it states in 1 Peter 4:17:

¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God....: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17

Additionally, while this emphasized Israel's essential role in God's plan for redemption, with Jesus being the ultimate fulfillment and embodiment of Israel, it also points us towards the coming judgement upon the world that will occur in the Tribulation, that is coming quicker than many people realize, because as the same verse states, with the use of a rhetorical question:

"...what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"

Clearly, if the Hamas attack on Israel was allowed by God, upon His 'chosen people', the coming Tribulation will be as Jesus said 'a time of unprecedented time of tribulation or trouble, being crushed, afflicted, and distressed, suffering many evils and calamity - these are all valid translations for the Greek word θλίψις that is translated as tribulation, in the verse below from the Olivet Discourse, where Jesus first spoke of these things:

²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. ²² And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Matthew 24:21-22

Ultimately, the Hamas attack exposed Israel as being naked and emphasized their need to return to God for salvation. While many began to do so, the national revival predicted in Ezekiel 37 and Joel 2 still remains future.

Then in 2024 (5784: naked like Chaff  - spiritual consequence of sin), the year that corresponds to the meaning of the third form of the word with Strongs Hebrew Word 5784 that represents the spiritual consequence of the fall, in man being spiritually naked like chaff, that is driven away from God. It addresses how God and mankind both act, as a result of being spiritually separated:

Mankind becomes like "chaff in the wind", that is spiritually driven away from God, becoming afraid, such that they now flee and hide from Him, as stated in Psalm 1:4-6:

⁴ The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. ⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. ⁶ For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalms 1:4-6

Fortunately, God's response is to immediately seek for man, as He did with Adam, when the omniscient God called to Adam asking "...where are you?".  In this way, 2024 was all about God seeking those who having been separated from Him in the past, but now want to dwell with Him in Eternity, before the final Judgements of this Age occur. In this respect, God asks the questions in Psalm 24:

³Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? Psalms 24:3

He then gives the answers in the next two verses:

⁴ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. ⁵ He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Psalms 24:4-5

This is effectively a summary of the two commands that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 22, that were basically the foundation of the whole law of God:

³⁷ -- Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

This all underlies the fact that God is looking to see who wants to be part of the Bride of Christ, just as Genesis 24 was about the Father seeking a bride for his son. Additionally, Matthew 24 emphasizes, this division of people into those that love the world and those that love God, with verses 38 to 41 describing the division between those who will be saved and those who will ultimately enter the Tribulation:

³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, ³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:38-41

This leads Jesus to the command for those that love Him, and have made Him their Lord, to Watch for His Return, which is what we are trying to do here:

⁴² Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. ⁴³ But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.   ⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:42-44

Interestingly, this particular passage only talks about 'not knowing the hour', it does not mention here, that the day will be unknown. At the very least this again affirms that we will know the season, which is why so many people began finding so many possible patterns last year, and continue to do so. 

Importantly, as I also wrote in a previous article, I believe that this division of people can also be understood in terms of the parable about the Wheat and the Tares because the true division is not just between believers and non-believers, but it also includes many who publicly claim Jesus as their Lord. In this regard, 2024 became one of the most significant years to date, in terms of end-time events, because after the world's initial sympathy for Israel—in relation to the events of Oct 7 2023 and the massacre by Hamas— the world very quickly began to turn on Israel. We saw a rise in anti-Semitism that the world has not seen since WWII. The public demonstrations in the universities and on the streets against Israel, that we are still seeing around the world today, all began in 2024. Essentially, people began to be separated over Israel, who will always remain God's Chosen People, with eternal promises tied to His covenant with Abraham. Even previously solid right-wing conservatives, who had once stood for Truth and Biblical values, such as Tucker Carlson; Candace Owens; and Megan Kelly etc; are now being classified as a new-Right movement, after being divided over the central issues based upon their views of Israel. 

It is a spiritual division and much of the Church is also being divided because many within it embrace 'Replacement Theology', the belief that 'God is finished with Israel and that the promises now belong to the Church'. It is a mind numbing thought to contemplate how people can believe this and not for a second question their own salvation, for if God cannot be trusted to fulfil all of His eternal covenantal promises to Abraham, that were to be fulfilled in His chosen people Israel, on what basis do they trust Him for anything else, let alone their own eternal salvation.

2025 (5785: skin covering - God's solution for sin), was all about an emphasis on the Gospel. While in the Garden of Eden God provided a temporary solution of an animal skin to cover Adam and Eve's nakedness, just as the Strong's Hebrew Word 5785 that adds to 25 indicates, this was always a pointer to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. In this respect, there were many revivals being seen around the world in 2025 - see the videos I included in a previous video by clicking here.

2026 (5786: making blind - Endtime Deception), This leads us to 2026, which is related to the Strong's Hebrew Word 5786, that first appears in Exodus 23:

⁸ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. Exodus 23:8

The context of this verse teaches us that a bribe doesn’t just influence a decision — it distorts a person’s ability to judge at all. The verse effectively says a bribe “spiritually blinds the clear‑sighted,” using a Hebrew verb that elsewhere describes literal blinding. The point is that corruption, like Satan's temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden, usually arrives as something that looks helpful or harmless, and it can quietly alter a person’s perception of right and wrong. This principle fits closely with Jesus’ later warnings about deception - which leads to spiritual blindness. He taught us that in the end times, the danger wouldn’t only come from what is obviously evil, but from things that appear good, persuasive, or beneficial on the surface. It is a timely warning about the spiritual condition of the world during the years from 2022 to 2027, with there being an exponential rise in the level of deception in 2026 — particularly with the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence)— as the world aligns itself with the values of the coming Antichrist system.

2027 (5787: total blindness - strong delusion) - finally this brings us to the meaning of the 6^th word with the value of 276, in the Strong's Hebrew Word 5787, the numbers of which add to 27. Biblically, it is generally used in relation to people that are totally blind. Prophetically, this seems to align with people that are spiritually blind because they have rejected the truth of God and He has sent them a delusion such that they will not only be deceived, but will embrace the lie of the enemy and be damned as a judgement from God:

¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

Essentially, for refusing the truth of the Gospel and the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, they will enter into the Tribulation and ultimately have to pay for their Sins themselves, which is the second death, that is eternal separation from God. 

- see previous article for a full exposition of all of this:

• Strongs H5782 - עוּר - Awakening / Lift Up - (2022)   

• Strongs H5783 - עוּר - Nakedness / Bare (2023)

• Strongs H5784 - עוּר - Chaff (2024)

• Strongs H5785 - עוֹר - Skin / covering (2025)

• Strongs H5786 - עָוַר - To make blind (2026)

• Strongs H5787 - עִוֵּר - Blindness / Totally Blind Person (2027)

Significantly, as above, the last two years — 2026 and 2027 — correspond to the two forms of the word meaning to make blind and blindness. One involves deception, which is a level of spiritual blindness that believers can cause by allowing the lies of the world to entice them, instead of being grounded in God's word, while the other is a total spiritual blindness in the form of delusion, that actually comes from God, as a judgement for rejecting His truth. 

That they are occurring in connection with numbers that align with 2026 - 2027 is significant, in relation to the central topic of this article, because it is the same period pointed to by the 78 of the T12 triangle (1948 + 78 = 2026), that is part of the 23^rd Triangle (judgment) that comes from the triad of Psalm numbers.

Additionally, it is the same period pointed to by the Power Set of these numbers, that reflects that the 69^th Week of Daniel's prophecy is finished and that time is now transitioning to the 70^th Week. This is hinted to by Ezekiel's prophetic Clock Marker (93) —that can be seen in Ezekiel, the 26th book of the Bible (that is a numerical connection to 2026). It is also seen in relation to the structure of 138 (the fallen generation and the hidden ones), that connects us to the Rapture, when God's people will be hidden in their bridal chamber, as revealed in the 26th Chapter of Isaiah (in another connection to 2026).

Essentially, all of God’s numbers are converging and the number 276 that represents the Salvation of Souls in the book of Acts is the mathematical hinge that connects all of this to the final 2 years of the convergent window - 2026 to 2027.

SUMMARY 

The Hidden Structure Behind Three Messianic Psalms

In summary, our discussion commenced with an examination of Jesus' cry on the Cross, as referenced in Psalm 22.

Notably, during the period of Jesus' incarnation, the ordering of the Psalms corresponded with the current arrangement, and thus it would have been identified as the 22^nd Psalm. So, in spite of chapter and verse numbers not appearing in relation to Scripture until about the 13th century, before they were standardized in the 16^th century, the Psalms were already uniquely identifiable by number to the Jews of Jesus' day, and they clearly carried prophetic significance with Jesus literally fulfilling every aspect of Psalm 22; and in His cry from the Cross, He was pointing all people, for all time, to it.

Then because the next two Psalms, in Psalm 23 and Psalm 24, have long been recognized as part of a prophetic triad along with Psalm 22 — revealing the Messiah as Servant, Shepherd, and King — and because there was a Jewish custom of quoting the first line of a passage, when one wanted to point people to the whole section that was linked to it, Jesus was revealing some significant truths.

Firstly, to the people of the day, He was connecting Himself with what they understood to be Shepherd Psalms of David, that were in a sequence that they understood as a literary journey of a king. First-century Jews strongly believed the Messiah would be a descendant of David, who would reign as a powerful, earthly king. Therefore, this agonizing cry by Jesus, moments before His death, was of the uttermost significance because He was not only revealing Himself as the Messiah to them, but by quoting from the opening line of this known triad, He was clarifying who the Messiah really was. This truth was the hinge on which all of prophetic destiny would ultimately turn because He was revealing that as the Messiah, He was not just Israel's Shepherd and King, in line with Jewish expectation, but that He was ultimately God's suffering servant, the perfect Passover Lamb, first - before He could become their Shepherd King.

As He had previously stated in Matthew 23:39—"For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" This verse emphasizes the importance of recognizing and blessing the coming Messiah, which is fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus. So, by quoting Psalm 22, Jesus was essentially claiming that the "Son of David" had to be a suffering servant before he could be the reigning king—a concept that was "a stumbling block" to many of his contemporaries, who were only looking for the Crown, not the Cross. Clearly, most Jewish people have missed this aspect even today, but this is beginning to change because God said that He allowed blindness in part to come up His people to allow the Gospel to go to the Gentiles and there are numerous signs that the 'Times of the Gentiles' are almost complete: 

²⁵ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; ²⁷ For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” Romans 11:25-27

Essentially, across the last 60 years, the number of Jewish people who believe in Jesus has grown from only a few thousand in the 1960s to somewhere between several hundred thousand and over a million today, depending on how a “Jewish believer in Jesus” is defined. Either way, the trend line across multiple sources (see table below) shows consistent and significant growth:

SUMMARY TABLE

In this respect, Jesus was also revealing deeper truths to the Church, the full Messianic body of believers. Knowing that it would be the Church of the End-Times that would fully understand that Daniel's 70 Week Prophecy would be paused at the 69^th Week (when He as the Messiah would be cut off), as well as comprehend the full import of the triad of Messianic Psalms. He was literally doing what only the All-powerful God of history could do, by embedding some hidden truths and pointers to the end within mathematical constructs that would involve these three numbers — 22, 23, and 24. 

Firstly, through the individual number He was quoting from, He was confirming that:

God had established Israel (22) as His vehicle of salvation before He Judges the World (23) and establishes His kingdom where believers rule and reign with Him (24). Then He pointed to Cross being the fulfilment of the 69^th Week of Daniel (69) because 22 + 23 + 24 = 69. Then through 22 + 23 + 24 + 69 = 138, that can be understood as 100 + 38, and where 38 can be further understood as 19 x 2, He was giving us the numbers 100, 38, 19 and 2  that reveal that the transition to the 70^th week of Daniel would involve a remnant of believers being caught up and hidden(19) with the Son of God (2) in the event of the Rapture (38) that would be connected with the Ezekiel 38 war, before those left behind from the fallen generation (100) enter into the final 70^th week of Daniel, otherwise known as the Tribulation.

Then through an additional combination of these same numbers, that to this point have included 22, 23, 24, 69,138, we arrived at the following: 22 + 23 + 24 + 69 + 138 = 276, which is the value of the most significant 23^rd Triangle (T23).

Essentially the mathematical principle of triangles involves the connection of two numbers, such that they carry the same theme and prophetic intent. In this instance, it involves the two numbers 23 and 276. Since the number 23 is connected with God no longer striving with man, it ultimately becomes connected with a Judgement that can be for receiving His salvation, or His wrath. In this way, it again becomes a pointer to both the Rapture (salvation) and the Tribulation (wrath). However, because the love and mercy of God are perpetually in pursuit of salvation. This theme is poignantly illustrated in Acts 27, where the number 276 signifies, the total of souls saved during the shipwreck, that occurred while Paul was on one of his missionary journeys.

Remarkably, the mathematical discoveries persist. The 23^rd triangular number (T23), which carries the value of 276, can be deconstructed into four smaller triangles:

○ three triangles of T11 that each carry the value of 66 and

○ one triangle of T12 that carries the value of 78. 

This again becomes a pointer to the Rapture and the Tribulation because the number 11 that connects with the number 66 represents the Antichrist → Daniel's 11th Horn, who will start the Tribulation —the final 70^th Week of Daniel— when he confirms an existing covenant with Israel for 7 years. Then the number 12, that reflects those who are followers of Christ (the Messiah), represents those who will be Raptured.

IMPORTANT TIMING CLUE

Since the 12 here is also a triangular number, that connects with the number 78, it appears to be providing a timing clue of when these believers will be Raptured.

Essentially, one of the Prophecies that is waiting to be fulfilled in connection with the Rapture is the Fig Tree Prophecy that states it will occur within one generation of those that see Israel (the Fig Tree) begin to shoot and put forth leaves - noting that a generation is defined in Psalm 90 as 70 - 80 years.

As we now have, in connection with the 23^rd Triangle T23 (that carries the value 276), two other triangles T11 and T12 that carry the values 66 and 78 respectively, we appear to have the clearest candidate for fulfilling this Fig Tree Prophecy that I have ever seen. It is an absolutely stunning alignment of the numbers 23, 66 and 78—all associated with the number 276 the value of the 23^rd Triangle— because the main bible prophecy predicting the Rebirth of Israel is literally found in:

○ Isaiah, the 23^rd book of the Bible, in chapter 66 and adding 78 to the year Israel was reborn in 1948 brings us to 2026

⁸ Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Isaiah 66:8

Incredibly, we see the numbers of this 23rd Triangle T23 that are pointed to by the numbers associated with Jesus' Cry on the Cross (about being forsaken by God), literally pointing to the Book and Chapter that prophesies that Israel (the Fig Tree) will be born again and that it will happen in one day, just as we know it did on May 14th 1948.

However, not only do the numbers point to the precise location of this prophecy in Isaiah 66, but because the central number of this T23  Triangle is 78, it also appears to be pointing to the generation that will see this prophecy fulfilled, with 1948 + 78 pointing to 2026. If this is so, and it's not just a contrivance of the numbers, then it would be breath-taking.

Either way, time will tell, but there is no doubt that there are numerous prophetic factors that are pointing to us being in the season that Jesus could return. To this end, I found the following Video by Randy Kay of interest because he is a believer that experienced a NDE (Near Death Experience) and appears to have a lot of credibility and a great passion for the lost. So, when he shares what he says Jesus told him during his time in Heaven, it does certainly add some urgency to the times we are now living in and so corresponds to much of what I believe the Lord has been showing me - so I have included it here for that reason:

Importantly, the revelations of 276 do not stop there because, as I wrote in a previous article and summarized above, this number is connected to a Hebrew word עור that has 6 forms, the meanings of which create a prophetic arc from the temptation in the Garden of Eden unto the spiritual blindness of people as they enter the Tribulation.

Importantly, each of these 6 words also have a Strong's Bible number in the range 5782 - 5787 that corresponds with 6 Hebrew Years in the same range 5782 - 5787; and amazingly, these 6 Hebrew years actually occur within a special 10-year window of time, that ends next year - so this is acting as an incredible pointer to how close Jesus' Return could be.

Notably, throughout this window, the numbers in the Hebrew Years add up to match the same year on the Gregorian calendar. For example, the first Hebrew Year in this range 5782 adds as follows to 5 + 7 + 8 + 2 = 22 which aligns with the Gregorian Year 2022; and then the next number 5783 adds as follows to 5 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 23, which aligns with the Gregorian Year 2023; and so on. After looking at the next 478 years, I found that this alignment did not happen again during that time and so this makes this convergence of numbers and the number 276 very special and very unique, and as such this phenomenon should not be ignored.

So, when you put all of this together, we see that we now have multiple paths for one number with one unified message about Judgement - which involves God's Salvation and His Wrath:

• A mathematical path (the Power Set → 276) derived from the triad of Psalms 22, 23 and 24 - pointed to by Jesus' Cry on the Cross.

• A linguistic path (6 Hebrew forms → 276) of the root word עור that covers a prophetic arc from awakening to total spiritual blindness.

• A calendar path (Hebrew years aligning with Gregorian years) or window of time in which the 6 words above, that all have the gematria value of 276, also have Strong's Bible numbers that match the numbers in the Hebrew Years, that when added together, actually produce a number that matches the Gregorian year in which the Hebrew Year finishes - e.g. Bible number 5786 is the Hebrew word עָוַר that means to make blind, reflecting a rise in deception or spiritual blindness that corresponds to what is occurring in the Hebrew Year 5786 (that has seen an exponential rise in the use of AI - Artificial Intelligence)' and that when its numbers are added 5 + 7 + 8 + 6 = 26 it points to 2026, the Gregorian Year in which it ends (as 5786 ends in September of 2026). 
• A geometric path (the 23^rd Triangle → 276) a mathematical analysis of the numbers involved with the 23^rd Triangle leads us to the number 276 also being constructed from T11 (66) and T12 (78) triangles, that possibly point to the timing of the Rapture and the Tribulation.
• A prophetic path (meanings of each of the Words with the value 276 - that describes the world’s spiritual descent from the Garden of Eden spiritual awakening and temptation unto the spiritual blindness of the Tribulation, but all occurring in connection with the years from 2022 -2027 - Notably, it includes God's Solution to man's spiritual separation from Him, in that Strongs Hebrew Word 5785 עוֹר is the word for Skin and Covering, pointing to God's provision of an animal skin, as a pointer to the sacrificial death, that would ultimately be provided in Jesus' death on the Cross, as the Lamb of God. This would provide Salvation for all of mankind in line with the ultimate meaning of 276, as revealed in its connection to the number of Souls saved in Acts 27.

Ultimately, all paths converge on the same number 276; and all flow from the same moment: Jesus’ cry from the Cross. It is as though the LORD encoded into Scripture, Mathematics, Language, and Time itself, a unified message, in connection with the years from 2022 to 2027:

“THE AGE OF GRACE IS ENDING - THE WORLD IS ENTERING BLINDNESS - THE RAPTURE IS NEAR”

FINAL THOUGHTS

The message above is the revelation that flows from Psalm 22, by pointing to a triad of Psalms - 22, 23, and 24, which stand together like three pillars, each illuminating a different aspect of Christ’s mission and identity.

Importantly Psalm 22 is a pointer to Psalm 23 that points to Psalm 24 that asks the questions:

○ "...³ Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?" (Psalms 24:3)

This is essentially asking who will be saved when the Rapture occurs. It then answers this by saying:

○ "...⁴ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully." (Psalms 24:4)

In this way, it is giving all who hear the message an opportunity to repent and be saved, as it states in the next verse:

○ "...⁵ He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." (Psalms 24:5).

Significantly this is all to occur prior to the time when Jesus as the King comes, as spoken about in the next few verses:

○ "...⁶ This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. ⁷ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. ⁸ Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle." (Psalms 24:6-8)

Jesus understood that this message would be received by the Christian community that by their very nature recognize Jesus as the Messiah, which is simply another word for Christ. However, as we have seen there is another layer of meaning woven into these Psalms — a layer that emerges when we look not only at their words, but also at their numbers.

The Fig Tree Prophecy - Convergent Window Connection

To recap, Scripture often uses numbers symbolically, and as we have been showing above, when we examine the numerical relationships between these three Psalms, a remarkable pattern appears. Mathematically, whenever we begin with three related numbers, there is a standard way to explore all the possible combinations they can form. This is called a Power Set, and it reveals every way the original numbers can be grouped. For three items, there are exactly eight possible groupings — one 'empty grouping' and 'seven meaningful ones'.

When we applied this simple idea to Psalms 22, 23, and 24, the seven meaningful combinations produced a sequence of numbers —22, 23, 24, 45, 46, 47,  69 — that  formed the Power Set that led us to other combinations of these numbers, to produce additional numbers such as — 66,78,138, 276 — that are all part of another well‑known structure in mathematics — triangular numbers (except for 138) — that align with major biblical themes, and prophetic patterns. 

As such Psalm 22 also led us to the revelation that flows from Daniel’s 69^th week in that Jesus is preparing us for the transition to the 70^th week, the final week (7 years) of this Age. Through the hidden number 276 that Jesus pointed to when cried out from the Cross, He literally seems to be providing Timing Clues that suggest the Fig Tree Prophecy is about to be fulfilled 78 years after Israel was born. He also appears to be confirming it by also connecting it with a very unique 10-year window of time that is occurring right now, where a convergence between two Calendars exists and where He also placed His special word with the same value of 276.

Significantly, the last two forms of this word end with the Strong's Bible numbers 5786 and 5787. These correspond with the Hebrew years 5786 and 5787, the numbers of which when added together produce 26 and 27 that point to the current time period that we are in right now -2026 and 2027 - all of this is suggesting that time is almost up.

The Progressive Addition

In one last observation, it is intriguing to note that when you progressively add the 6 numbers that occur in this unique window of time that align with the 6 forms of the Hebrew word עור, starting at the number that aligns with the first Hebrew Word 5782, there is perhaps another series of hidden numbers confirming where we are on God's timeline:

The numbers to be added:

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+2=22 → points to 2022

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+3=23 → points to 2023

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+4=24 → points to 2024

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+5=25 → points to 2025

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+6=26 → points to 2026

Hebrew Year: 5+7+8+7=27 → points to 2027

The progressive addition of the 6 sets of numbers:

1) 5+7+8+2 = 22 → this number that represents Israel in association with 2022, suggests that the Times of the Gentiles could be about to close, such that God's primary attention prophetically will be turned back toward His people. If so, it would clearly be time for people to decide where they stand with God.

2) 5+7+8+2+5+7+8+3 = 45 → the number for gathering together to meet with God, in association with the years 2022-2023, again indicates that the time is approaching rapidly

3) 5+7+8+2+5+7+8+3+5+7+8+4 = 69 → the number indicating that the 69^th week is finished in association with the years 2022-2024 suggests that we are about to transition to the 70^th Week.

4) 5+7+8+2+5+7+8+3+5+7+8+4+5+7+8+5 = 94 → this is 47 x 2 which in association with the years 2022-2025 affirms we are at the threshold of God's promises (47) about to meet with the Son of God (2) as we are gathered together with Him in the clouds, in the Rapture. 

5) 5+7+8+2+5+7+8+3+5+7+8+4+5+7+8+5+5+7+8+6 → 120 - this is God's symbolic number for the end. In association with the years 2022-2026 it indicates that shortly God will no longer strive with man, but will bring judgement. And just as it marked a transition between Moses and Joshua —when Moses died at 120 years of age and Joshua, who has the same name as Jesus in Hebrew, took the people of God into the Promised Land— it is suggestive of God in Jesus, in the last year of that sequence that involves the current Hebrew Year 5786 (2026), possibly taking God's People into the greater Promised Land of Heaven, in the Rapture.

6) 5+7+8+2+5+7+8+3+5+7+8+4+5+7+8+5+5+7+8+6+5+7+8+7 → 147 - if the above is correct, then interestingly the next Hebrew year of 5787 (2027) would involve the first year of the Tribulation, otherwise known as 'the Time of Jacob's Trouble'. This is significant because 147 aligns with the age of Jacob when he died and went to be with the LORD. So here 147 could both represent those that like Jacob became a part of Israel (the saved remnant of God, out of all of humanity, remembering Jacob was renamed Israel) representing those being Raptured (fallen generation (100) + those who trust God and stand at the threshold of His promises (47)), while simultaneously representing those who remain a part of Jacob spiritually, as they have not yet wrestled with God to become a part of Israel, and so they enter the Tribulation. 

All of God's numbers are converging and amazingly, as the following shows, even the ancient Hebrew Pictographs of the special word with the value of 276, that all this is centered upon, reflects the urgency of the day we find ourselves in by affirming that it is time for people to know Him:

The Hebrew Pictographs — “Know, Experience, and Be Connected to the Head”

The pictographic meaning of the root letters עור:

• Ayin (ע) — the eye, to see, to know, to experience

• Vav (ו) — the nail, to connect, to secure, to join

• Resh (ר) — the head, the person, the chief, the first

Together, they form a prophetic call:

“To see, know, experience, and be connected to the Head — the First, the Chief, the LORD Jesus.”

In other words:

Time is short. The window is closing - The world is entering blindness, but the bride must be watching and see the end approaching and be sure that they KNOW their LORD and Saviour so that they do not hear the dreaded words contained in Matthew 7:23:

"....I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" Matthew 7:23

What began as a simple observation — a Cry from the Cross and three Psalms standing together — unfolded into a rich tapestry of numerical symmetry that echoes the prophetic message they contain.

From Numerical Structure to Prophetic Meaning

None of these patterns are coincidences and they are not being presented as attempts to force mathematics into Scripture, suggesting adamantly that Jesus will Return this year. Rather, they arise naturally from the simple act of examining the relationships between three Psalms that are already linked theologically and simply looking at the patterns and the possibilities.

The numbers themselves — 22, 23, and 24 — form a complete and coherent mathematical structure. And when that structure is explored, it produces all of the additional values that were discussed above such as 45, 46, 47, 69, 138, and 276, each of which resonates with biblical themes of completion, transition, judgment, restoration, and divine order. This numerical harmony does not replace the prophetic message of the Psalms — it echoes it. Psalm 22 reveals the 'suffering Messiah'. Psalm 23 reveals the Shepherd who walks with His people, and Psalm 24 reveals the King of Glory, who is coming to gather His bride and take us home. 

The mathematics simply highlights the unity of this triad and provides a framework for exploring the prophetic significance that flows from it. In this respect, it is also interesting to note that in Psalm 22, 23, and 24 there are a total of 47 verses,  which means that in this triad of Psalms, that reveal both the Heart of God and His prophetic purposes, we are being invited to draw near and stand together with Him at the threshold of His Promises (47), that ultimately are all about being in His presence.

As we saw in the last article, about God's mirror numbers leading us home (to the LORD), the number 47, in connection with its mirror number 74, result in:

47 x 74 = 3478

And when this is added to the Exodus event in 1446 BC it takes us to:

1446 BC + 3478 = 2033

At this time, if 2033 is the Second Coming, the bible says All Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26):

²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Romans 11:26

Interestingly, the numbers in the scripture reference above - 11 and 26 - reflect that this will occur as a sovereign act of God (26) —remembering 26 represents God personal name, the tetragrammaton (Yehovah / Jehovah / Yahweh)— at the end of the Tribulation when God defeats the Antichrist (11)— the 11th horn of Daniel.

At the most basic mathematical level, these three numbers (22,23, and 24) combine to reveal 69, affirming that when Jesus cried "IT IS FINISHED" on the Cross, after quoting from Psalm 22 to connect Himself to the Suffering Servant, He was revealing that the 69^th Week of Daniel was complete. This emphasis on time was then extrapolated through other numerical combinations to emphasize that He was also revealing that the end of the Church Age, the Age of Grace, was drawing near, and that we are soon to transition to the 70^th Week.

While the number 70 is not explicitly listed in its own-right, it is implied in connection with the events that the other numbers point to, such as the Rapture. It can also be seen as an additive pair from two of the numbers in the Power Set, in 24 + 46 = 70. Since 24 is about those who will be saved and spend eternity with the King of Glory and 46 is about the work of the Son of Man that made salvation possible, we can see how these two numbers, in combining to equal 70, can be seen to complete God's work of Redemption. 

However while we are still in the gap of the Age of Grace, the all-powerful and all loving God, who completely sacrificed Himself for all of humanity, holding nothing back, as seen in Psalm 22, wants us to make Jesus our Shepherd and walk with Him and let Him restore our souls, as shown in the next Psalm 23; and then we will be ready for the King of Glory to come in, as described in Psalm 24. So, these three Psalms lead us toward the 70^th week when the 138 (45 +46+47), that can be represented as 100 (symbolic of the fallen generation) + 38 (a pointer to Ezekiel 38), points us toward the Rapture (either being contiguous with it or being triggered by it) and its themes of being hidden. 

Possible Timing Clue

Then since 38 is also 19 x 2, and 19 was the age that was effectively representing those hidden by God, it is also interesting to note another multiple of 19:

19 x 107 = 2033

In the number 19 being directly connected to 2033, as a factor or multiple, it appears to be a prophetic picture of God hiding and protecting those that are His, while we wait for firstly for the pre-Tribulation Rapture (possibly 2033 - 7 = 2026) and then secondly for the mid-Tribulation Rapture (outlined in Revelation 14 - the reaping of the earth by the Son of Man who is seated on a cloud), before finally gathering the remaining saints at the end of the Age:

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. Revelation 14:14-16

Further to the numbers 19 and 107 it should be noted that they also serve to highlight the posture the LORD wants us to adopt while we are waiting for Him to Return, for amazingly 107 is not a random number. Essentially, the Psalms are known to be intentionally divided into 5 divisions that echo aspects of the five books of the Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy). Ancient Jewish tradition recognized this structure, and most modern Bibles preserve it, as follows:

Book I (Psalms 1–41) - Personal devotion, individual lament, and trust in God.

Book II (Psalms 42–72) - Longing for God’s presence and the hope of restored kingship.

Book III (Psalms 73–89) - Crisis of faith, national catastrophe, and theological wrestling.

Book IV (Psalms 90–106) - God’s eternal kingship as the answer to Israel’s crisis.

Book V (Psalms 107–150) - Restoration, thanksgiving, and climactic praise.

The screenshot below taken from the Olive Tree Bible Software confirms this division, with it clearly marking Psalm 107 as the start of Book V of the Psalms:

So, Psalm 107 is actually the first Psalm of the Fifth section (a number associated with Grace), that is focused on Restoration, thanksgiving, and climactic praise, as follows:

​¹ Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! ² Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble ³ and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. ⁴ Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; ⁵ hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. ⁶ Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. ⁷ He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. ⁸ Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! ⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. ¹⁰ Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, ¹¹ for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. ¹² So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. ¹³ Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. ¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. ¹⁵ Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! ¹⁶ For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron. ¹⁷ Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; ¹⁸ they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. ¹⁹ Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. ²⁰ He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. ²¹ Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! ²² And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy! ²³ Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; ²⁴ they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. ²⁵ For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. ²⁶ They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; ²⁷ they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. ²⁸ Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. ²⁹ He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. ³⁰ Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. ³¹ Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! ³² Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. ³³ He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, ³⁴ a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. ³⁵ He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. ³⁶ And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in; ³⁷ they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield. ³⁸ By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish. ³⁹ When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, evil, and sorrow, ⁴⁰ he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes; ⁴¹ but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. ⁴² The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. ⁴³ Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD. Psalms 107
