As we approach the end of the Age of Grace, the signs have been increasing, for since the beginning God has chosen to speak to us in many ways. This included natural revelation to all mankind, such that Creation itself was a witness of God's existence, power and glory:

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:18-20

However, within 1,056 years of Adam being created, Man's Sin and Rebellion against God was so bad that God actually stated that He was sorry that He had made Man on the earth:

⁵ Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:5-6

So, God in His wisdom appointed Noah - נֹחַ to be born —the one whose name when reversed means Grace - חֵן. Noah was intimately connected with Grace and was born for one significant purpose - the saving of a remnant of humanity, so that God could eventually save all who would put their trust in Him.

Noah's father Lamech, who sensed there was a special purpose for his son's birth, was led to choose this name saying:

²⁹ Now he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed.” ³⁰ Genesis 5:29-30

Then in Genesis 6:8 scripture begins to reveal God's purposes, as it states:

⁸ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Genesis 6:8

For those who have read my previous article, which you can access by clicking here, it is noteworthy that the genealogy of Genesis 5 reveals that Noah was born in the year 1056 AM. That year is numerically linked to the number 156, which as that article showed has been associated with the formation and preservation of Israel. Continually God reveals how He has hidden the end from the beginning, and in this respect, the factors of 156 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78), as will be seen, are predictive of Jesus' return, with the number 78 formed from the individual numbers 7 and 8, in particular, taking center stage - this will be important later.

As such, this connection to Noah serves as a numerical precursor to all that God would ultimately accomplish through the Nation of Israel, which produced the Messiah and Savior of the World. For Jesus embodies the fulfillment of Israel, into whom every believer will be grafted. As Paul stated:

"All Israel will be saved."

Ultimately, through the Flood of Noah, God's wrath was unleashed upon the wickedness of humanity that had turned away from their Creator and mankind was renewed through the eight individuals (8) who found refuge in the Ark 7 days before it began (7). From these survivors, humanity began to multiply once more across the earth; and in this new beginning, God established a chosen people, a nation (Israel) through whom His ways would be revealed to the world.

Then starting with Moses - משֶׁה, God raised up a number of servants within Israel, known as His prophets—figures like Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah—who would both proclaim (forth-telling) and predict (fore-telling) as they spoke His word to the people. Through these prophets, God began to directly reveal His plans and purposes, fulfilling His promise as stated in Amos 3:7:

⁷ Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

However, Moses also stated in Deuteronomy 18 that the LORD would raise up another prophet like himself, which was a pointer to Jesus, yet to come:

¹⁵ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; Deuteronomy 18:15

Clearly while Jesus shared Moses' role as a leader and a deliverer (leading people out of slavery), as the Son of God He is incomparably greater. Though He was God, He came humbly in the flesh, as a servant to deliver us from the slavery of Sin, so that He could dwell with us forever. The New Testament writers addressed this comparison between Moses and Jesus to emphasize how much greater Jesus was, such as in Hebrews 3:

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; ² Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. ³ For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. ⁵ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; ⁶ But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Hebrews 3:1-6

So God who spoke firstly through Creation and then through the Old Testament men of God (Prophets) was now speaking through Jesus incarnate; and His Apostles; and select New Testament writers, such as Mark (Gospel of Mark), Luke (Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles), and likely James and Jude (authors of the eponymous epistles, traditionally identified as Jesus' brothers); as well as the unknown writer of Hebrews; and Paul who actually wrote nearly half of the New Testament. 

Then since the beginning of the church, when the Holy Spirit was sent forth and began to dwell within believers, God began to reveal His plans and purposes directly to His people, both Jew and Gentile. This is evidenced in verses such as the following:

²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26

and

¹³ But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. John 16:13

Clearly this promise of God to disclose what is to come to those in the Church Age places us in a special time in the History of Man. However, because this can potentially become an open door for anyone to say, "Thus says the LORD..." God's written word provides a warning in Deuteronomy 18:20–22, where it effectively states:

“The prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded, that prophet shall die.”

This passage teaches:

• God does not authorize messages He has not already grounded in His revealed Word.

• Any message that does not align with what God has spoken is false, regardless of the messenger’s sincerity.

Additionally, the New Testament states in Galatians 1:8:

⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8

Paul’s logic:

• No new revelation can contradict what God has already revealed in Scripture.

• Even an angelic encounter is invalid, if it introduces anything not already grounded in God’s Word.

So importantly, while the Holy Spirit can and does directly reveal to all believers what is to come, as He states in John 16:13, anything presented as a revelation from God must be firmly grounded upon His word.

This is why many Prophecy Watchers, including myself, with the leading of the Holy Spirit, are just pointing to patterns from within the Bible that firmly support that the Return of Jesus is near. We are simply trying to join the dots of revelation that God has put in His Word for everyone to see, and ultimately, it is then up to us all to be like the Bereans, who in Acts 17:11 were highly praised because when they heard new preaching, for they examined the Scriptures to see if these things were so:

¹¹ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11

On that basis, what follows is a merging of several patterns that are all in the Bible, and that lead us to the book of Isaiah, that ultimately gives us a description of the end of days, including both the Rapture and the Tribulation. Collectively these appear to be a Hidden Road Map to the End, placed there by God to reveal to us just how close 'to the end' that we actually are. Each step on this road leads naturally to the next, we just need to follow the clues God has placed in His Word.

Essentially, Scripture is the lens through which we can view and filter everything about our life, now and in the future. And importantly I believe that it all begins with a Numerical Template that leads to a Numerical Key that in turn leads us to a Set of Numbers, that point us to the book of Isaiah, who reveals God's Key End-Time Events:

Numerical Template → Numerical Key → Set of Numbers → Book of Isaiah → End-time events

I truly believe that there are some very exciting patterns that point to how close we may actually be to seeing Jesus Face to Face. So, with that said, we will now begin by looking at what appears to be the Numerical Template that leads us to a Numerical Key to End Times.

The Numerical Template of 6

To uncover the numerical key, we first need to identify the template that it is based upon and to identify this we need to start at the very beginning, where God creates everything that exists:

²⁷ So God created mankind in His own image; in the image of God, He created them; male and female He created them. ²⁸ God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and every living creature that moves on the ground.” ²⁹ Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ³⁰ And to all the beasts of the earth, all the birds in the sky, and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.³¹ God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:27-31

And

¹ Thus, the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.² By the seventh day, God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day, He rested from all His work. ³ Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done. 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. Genesis 2:1-4

Everything that God created, including Man, was made in six days. The ultimate purpose of this creation was to establish a space for Him to dwell with the pinnacle of His creation—Man, who was made in His image. This is echoed in Revelation 21:

³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.” Revelation 21:3

6 Days were the key to all that follows, 6 separate periods of time to contain the creative actions of God that would define the full expression of His purposes, prior to the Fall and Redemption of Man. This divine plan will ultimately guide His Creation into a seventh period, representing God's Sabbath Day of Rest. As such, 6 is the foundation of all that exists.

For this reason, I believe 6 numbers act as the numerical template that becomes the numerical key to the end-times, intended to lead us toward God's manifestation of 777 at the culmination of human history. This will occur before the era known as the Millennium, a one-thousand-year period, that once completed, will usher in the 8^th Day—a Day that will never end—ETERNITY.

How 6 becomes the Key to the End - Mathematically

Hidden in plain sight, in God's Creation Week, as detailed in the opening chapters of Genesis, we can arguably see how the 6 Days of Creation can actually function as a pointer to the End Times, as represented by the number 777.  In this regard, many have noted that in 2 Peter 3:8 God symbolically equates a day with a thousand years:

⁸ But, beloved, be not ignorant -- of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8

From this passage and others, each day of Creation is prophetically understood to be associated with 1,000 years for a total of 6,000 years, before the final 1,000 year day of the Creation Week (7 Days), the seventh Day of Rest that prophetically aligns with the Millenium can take place. While I firmly believe this to be valid, this is not the aspect of the 6 days of Creation that I wish to expound upon. Rather, it is my believe that because of the way that God's numbers combine to form meaning —such as noting in relation to the number 14 that Jesus came into the World, associated with the number 4, to fulfil the Law of Sin and Death represented by the number 10 (due to the 10 commandments), which he did on the Cross on the 14th Nisan (Passover) - that is 10 +4 = 14— then we have another legitimate way of understanding the numbers 1- 6, that first existed to describe the Creation of all things.

Further to this, we need a biblically valid of combining numbers. Fortunately, this can be easily achieved by applying the principle found in scripture, that describes Jesus (the creator of all that exists), as:

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13

Three times (representing the actions of the Triune God) Jesus is revealed to be the First and the Last of everything that exists within Creation. Thus, the 6 Days of Creation can also logically be divided into three steps or phases, to represent the actions of this Triune God:

Step 1 - Alpha and Omega - The first step is to consider the full set of 6 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 associated with the days of Creation and then remember that Jesus, as their Creator, is the Alpha and the Omega of these. Biblically, this creates a connection between the numbers 1 and 6, the first and the last number in this group of 6 numbers, that when combined form 7: 1 + 6 = 7

Step 2 - First and Last - The second step now only has to consider the remaining 4 numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5. Biblically, the principal of the First and the Last now creates a connection between the numbers 2 and 5, that when combined again form 7: 2 + 5 = 7

Step 3 - Beginning and the End - The third and final step now only has to consider the remaining 2 numbers: 3 and 4. Biblically, by default these are the Beginning and End, or First and Last of what remains, and that creates a connection between them, that when combined again forms 7: 3 + 4 = 7

Hopefully, the following graphic will help to clarify the process and the connections that establish the 6 numbers of Creation as a template for numbers that will ultimately become a Numerical Key to the End.

[Diagram 1] - the number 6, God's Numerical Key to the End:

Three steps for the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Each step showing a connection mathematically and biblically between the number 6 and the number 7 that collectively represents 777.

Essentially, the number 6 is first formed as a mathematical sequence 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 of six numbers before the biblical principle of its creator, being the First and the Last, is applied to it three times, to filter it. Each time the process results in the number 7 that when combined form the number 777, God's ultimate end-time number of completion.

Thus, in this way, we have identified the starting point of "God's Hidden Road Map" as being the 6 numbers first referenced biblically in relation to Creation. It established a template of 6 numbers that will lead us to what I believe is a Numerical Key to the End-Times. Ultimately this key hides a pattern of 6 sequential numbers, that according to this template point toward events that are part of God's end-time calendar, as indicated by its link to 777. To follow this clue to the next destination, we will now need to determine what those 6 sequential numbers could actually be. 

However, before we do that, we firstly need to briefly examine three things:

• The Bible's use of the First and Last Principle - to ensure it is a valid approach to understanding God's numbers.
• The nature of the number 7 - as this will give us the full context to understand God's Roadmap through the numerical key of 6, as we journey to the conclusion of this Age. It will also show how in the same way that the template of 6 numbers point to 777, when we consider the numbers that represent the full Creation week they too are pointing to a greater End in the 8th day of eternity that can be symbolized by 888.
• The Eighth (8^th) Day of Creation - This is to show us where it is ultimately all leading - Eternity a time when there will be no more Sin and Condemnation. 

Validity of the First and Last Principle

Firstly, in relation to the First and Last Principle, it is important to note that is based upon the idea that God creates patterns that connect the First and Last elements of text or numbers. Essentially, God placed an example of a pattern in Scripture using the first and the last verses of the King James Version Bible, where each verse in English has 44 characters that are comprised of 17 vowels and 27 consonants.

The amazing thing about this is that 17 is the number connected to the First of things, in that it is symbolic of new Resurrection Life (the first day of a new life) because Jesus was resurrected on the 17^th day of the month (17^th Nisan) - 3 days and nights after Passover, on the 14^th of Nisan. Then the number 27 is connected to the Last things, with it being symbolic of the end of something. In this regard, Genesis 8:14 shows that the Flood of Noah ended on the 27^th day of the month. Another example of 27 in connection with Last things, are the 3 occurrences of the number 9, that occurs in relation to the Cross event, that together combine to 27 and are completed just after Jesus utters His last words with His last breath, when He cried "...it is Finished". They are comprised of the hour of pray (9^th) of Jesus and the disciples in the Garden prior to Jesus' arrest; the Crucifixion at 9am in the morning; Jesus' Death at the 9^th hour of the Day —(9+9+9 - 27).

So, in the first and last verses of the bible God has placed words that can be numerically divided into vowels and consonants with numbers that the bible consistently uses in connection with the first (17) and last (27) of something. To help illustrate this I have put both verses below with the vowels and consonants appearing in different colors:

And

God is definitely into patterns!!!

Hopefully this example, which is just one of many that exists, demonstrates that there are many ways of understanding God's numbers, and as such the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last and the Beginning and the End is just one way of understanding what the Triune God is seeking to reveal to us. 

Nature of the number 7 

Essentially, the number 7 symbolizes the fullness of God's Creation, which is encapsulated in the concept of a Week (representing 7), marking the day when God rested on the final day.

This is important, as it will give further validity to the pattern / template that I have just discussed above in relation to the number 6, which by its very nature is incomplete and is pointing to God's Divine completion of 777.  

With this understanding in mind, let us now apply the same three steps we used earlier to illustrate the actions of the Triune God, who, by His very nature, is 3—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Noting also that God's divine essence encompasses a 7-fold Spiritual nature, as revealed in Isaiah 11:2:

² And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Isaiah 11:2

The result is as follows:

Step 1 - Alpha and Omega - We begin by reflecting on the complete set of 7 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 which correspond to the days of creation, that culminated in a day of rest on the 7^th day. Then as before, remembering that Jesus as the Creator is the Alpha and the Omega of these, we get a new connection. Biblically, this creates a connection between the numbers 1 and 7, the first and the last number in this group of 7 numbers, that when combined form 8: 1 + 7 = 8

Step 2 - First and Last - The second step now only has to consider the remaining 5 numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Biblically, the principal of the First and the Last now creates a connection between the number 2 and 6, that when combined again form 8: 2 + 6 = 8

Step 3 - Beginning and the End - The third and final step now only has to consider the remaining 3 numbers: 3, 5 because the remaining number 4 is unpaired. So again, by default, these are the Beginning and End, or First and Last of what remains, and that creates a connection between them, that when combined again forms 8: 3 + 5 = 8. 

This can all be represented graphically as follows:

[Diagram 2] - the number 7, the fulness of Creative Week that points to the New Beginning:

Amazingly, according to God's hidden pattern, that exists within the plain mathematical sequence of the numbers themselves, this is a pointer to the number 888, which is JESUS —for the name of Jesus in the original Greek is Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous / Jesus), that in Greek Isopsephy, which is the equivalent of Hebrew Gematria is calculated as follows:

The Eighth (8^th) Day of Creation

In review, we started by recognizing the significance of the number 6, which symbolizes the creation of a space in 6 Days for God to dwell with the pinnacle of His Creation—humanity, made in His image on the 6^th day. This led to both the Fall of Man and God's creation of the Age of Redemption, that will soon be completed, as indicated by the number 777, that the 6 numbers pointed us to.

Now, we see here that 7 numbers, that represent the fulness of this creative work —when God rested— are actually pointing to JESUS (888), who came to establish the new beginning that will actually be the 8^th Day of Creation, the Day that will never end, otherwise known as ETERNITY. This day is actually foreshadowed in the Feasts of the LORD in Leviticus 23, noting that the word translated as Feasts is actually the Hebrew word moedim - מועדים, that means an appointed time.

³⁶ Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. Leviticus 23:36

Here it is seen as the ultimate conclusion of these other appointed times that include Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread; Feast of First Fruits and Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) - all fulfilled in Jesus First Coming; as well as Feast of Trumpets; the Day of Atonement; and the Feast of Tabernacles - all yet to be fulfilled.

As such, all of Creation is actually pointing to this final appointed time (the 8^th Day) in Human History when God and Man will forever dwell in Righteousness, Peace and Joy, as Revelation 21 says there will be no more pain or tears:

⁴ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

In fact, Jesus gave a hint of this in John 7 and 8 —please note these numbers 7 and 8, they are very important to this whole article, as it will be seen later. It is something that most people miss, but when you look closely starting at John 7:37 you will note that Jesus cried out on what they call the "Last day, that great day of the Feast":

³⁷ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” ³⁹ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-39

The Feast in this instance was the 'Feast of Sukkot', also popularly known as the 'Feast of Tabernacles', which lasted for 7 days as Leviticus 23 shows:

³⁴ “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. Leviticus 23:34

So, this “great day” spoken of in the Gospel of John, when Jesus cried out, was the seventh day of Sukkot - סֻּכֹּ֛ות —a Hebrew word for Booths / Tabernacles / Tents— that is known in Jewish tradition as Hoshana Rabbah (that means “Great Salvation / Great Supplication”). The Complete Jewish Bible even translates it directly that way:

“Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out…” — John 7:37 (CJB)

This is significant because as Leviticus 23 also shows, the next day following the seven days of Sukkot or Tabernacles was the 8^th Day that was also to be a special day of "gathering and assembling". It was to be another day of Rest that was to be spent in the presence of the LORD:

³⁶ For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. Leviticus 23:36

In connection with Jesus, it is important to note that when He cried out on the Last Great Day of Sukkot, declaring Himself as the source or fount of Living Water and offering Salvation to any who would receive Him, this created a division among the people:

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him. ⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. John 7:43-44

So significantly, the text says that Jesus went to the Mount of Olives, seemingly suggesting He spent the night there, and that He then came back to the Temple the next morning, which significantly was Shmini (שְׁמִינִי) Atzeret (עֲצֶ֣רֶת) - the Feast Day generally referred to as the 8^th Day of Assembly— that was a Feast Day that points to Eternity, the 8^th Day that never ends.

Importantly, all of this forms the backdrop for the encounter between Jesus, the Chief Priests and Rabbis, and the Woman caught in Adultery. So literally, on this 8^th Day in history, God was revealing to those who had a heart and ears to hear, that eternity will be when there is no more Sin and no more Condemnation from God, and no more death for those that receive Jesus, the Fount of Living Water, the one whose name is 888 and who later would rise on the 8^th day of the week, being the first day after the 7^th, that represents the completion of the Redemptive History of Man.

Sadly, many of the accusers of the woman caught in adultery were the same ones that had literally the day before, on that last great day of the Feast of Sukkot —when Jesus had offered Himself as the source of Living Water— rejected Him. And so, in line with the warning in Jeremiah 17, Jesus began to write their names down in the dust:

¹³ LORD, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust
because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water. Jeremiah 17:13

Then after failing His challenge about there being any among them that had no Sin, such that they could be the one to throw the first stone at this woman, they all left and there was no longer anyone to accuse her:

⁵ Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” ⁶ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
⁷ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” ⁸ And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. ⁹ Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. John 8:5-8

Then Jesus, in the most freeing words anyone could hear, said to her “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” It was an insight into the final 8^th Day that is coming when there will be no more Sin and no more Condemnation: 

¹⁰ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” ¹¹ She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:10

Like the verse that Jesus spoke following this encounter, all who have received Him will be able to walk in His light and be filled for all of eternity with the Light of Life:

¹² Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:5-12

So importantly, the number 6 points to 777 and the number 7 points to 888, but in one last observation because 7 was an odd number it left the number 4 to stand alone in the middle, highlighting that there is something significant about 4 in connection with the number 8.

Clearly because of this sequence of 7 numbers being a pointer to the 8^th Day, when God will dwell with Man, we can now perhaps get some insight in to why the numbers 4 and 8 that arise from this sequence combine into 48 to become the number of boards that were used to construct or create the Holy of Holies, in Moses Tabernacle in the Wilderness.

Essentially 48 became the world's (4) connection with the most Holy God and Saviour (8) whose Manifest Presence and Glory descended upon the Holy of Holies, to reside above the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant between the two Cherubim.

Then later, as the bible states, it would again be connected with building of Solomon's Temple, where God's Manifest Presence would again dwell appearing there as 480 (48 x 10):

​¹ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. 1 Kings 6:1

There is one final point (at this stage) to consider in relation to the connection between the number 7 and 888 (JESUS), before we return to our primary discussion about the Numerical Key of 6. Again, it involves the name and title of God in Jesus Christ, that in Greek Isopsephy (Gematria) is both 888 and 1480, as per below:

[Table 1] - Gematria of Jesus Name                                                                  [Table 2] - Gematria of Christ  

Essentially there is an extraordinary connection hidden between these numbers and those that are used to describe the Ark of the Covenant in Scripture.

In this respect, Exodus 25: 10 states the following about the dimensions of the Ark:

¹⁰ “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. Exodus 25:10

Importantly this Ark was completely covered by a "Mercy Seat" of exactly the same dimensions:

¹⁷ “You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width." Exodus 25:17

And

²¹ "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you." Exodus 25:21

This, as the verse 22 states, would become the place where God would meet with His people:

²² And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel. Exodus 25:21-22

This was made possible because once a year the High Priest —on the Day of Atonement (another Feast Day of the LORD)— would go into the Holy of Holies and place the 'blood of the sacrifice' upon and in front of the Mercy Seat. It was literally the holiest place on earth for it was where the manifest presence of God dwelt.

So, in looking at the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat on top of it we note that they were both:

2.5 cubit (length) by 1.5 cubits (width)

As a ratio this equates to the following:

2.5 / 1.5 = 1.666666666666 (repeating)

Then in a stunning connection, hidden in the numbers of the name and title of Jesus Christ, which as above is in Greek Gematria revealed as Jesus - 888 and Christ - 1480 we find that when we consider them as a ratio, in the same way that we did with both the Ark and the Mercy Seat, we see the following:

1480 / 888 = 1.66666666666666 (repeating)

They are numerically identical in terms of the ratio between the two. This illustrates that Jesus serves as both the Ark, as our Saviour—akin to the Ark that saved Noah and his family—and as the Christ (the anointed one who sacrificed Himself on the Cross), He embodies the Mercy Seat. It is His blood, applied to the Mercy Seat atop the Ark, that serves as the price for atonement. This concept mirrors the foreshadowing in Noah's Ark, which was covered in Pitch. This term is the English translation of the Hebrew word כָּפַר (ḵâp̱ar), the same word used for atonement in the Day of Atonement, the most sacred day on the Jewish calendar:

¹⁴ Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make -- in the ark, and shalt pitch -- it within and without with pitch. Genesis 6:14

The Identity of the Set of 6 -Numbers

Now, having shown that the pattern holds for numbers other than just the numbers from 1 to 6 —noting that I have also checked it against numbers up to 37 and found it consistently reveals deeper connections, but space and time does not permit them being shown here— I will now return to our discussion about the Numerical Key, remembering that it is purely a pattern based upon understanding from our template of 6 sequential numbers (1-6) that represent Creation, that ultimately their meaning will be pointing toward events that are part of God's end-time calendar, as indicated by the template's link to 777.

This means that it is not the precise numbers 1- 6 that will reveal things about the End, rather they simply served as a Numerical Template to show us that we need to find a particular set of 6 sequential numbers, that following the pattern or template, and that will reveal things about the end of this Age, just as the numbers 1 - 6 point to 777.

Importantly, these cannot be any arbitrary set of numbers, otherwise they could lead us anywhere we want, and this would no longer be God's Road Map to the End, it would simply be mine. Therefore, just as the number 6 was the first established number in our journey, literally being the number of Creation itself, we need to again turn to the Bible to determine what is central to it, and whether or not this central theme is connected to the End.

Without a doubt, anyone can quickly answer —whether they are a Bible student or not— that at the center of it all is a person: JESUS.

His Return at the Second Coming will signify the End of this Age of Grace. Following this momentous event, we will enter the 7^th Day, which represents the 1,000-year Millennial Reign of Jesus. The significant number 777 will symbolically mark its conclusion, leading us into the 8^th Day.

As Colossians 1:16 says - All things have been created through Him and for Him:

¹⁶ For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. Colossians 1:16

This is indisputable, as is the fact that Matthew in his Gospel equates JESUS with ISRAEL. He does this when he quotes Hosea 11:1 that says:

¹ “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. Hosea 11:1

and then he applies it to Jesus, in Matthew 2:15, as per below:

¹⁵ where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Matthew 2:15

Clearly ISRAEL was created so that God could establish His Covenant Promises with them, that would be fulfilled in JESUS, when He came to fulfil the Old Covenant and establish the New. Therefore, if JESUS is at the center of all things, and He is equivalent to ISRAEL, we now have a way of determining what our set of 6 numbers would be.

For starting at the first sequence of 6 numbers, beginning with the numbers 1 - 6 that total 21, we simply need to find a set of 6 sequential numbers that together can be associated with ISRAEL —that was established before Jesus was born, so that He would be born.

Ultimately, as the following extract from an Excel Spreadsheet shows below, the first instance of 6 numbers that combine to form a numerical association with ISRAEL, begins at the number 22 through to the number 27, that totals to 147:

[Table 3] - the identity of the 6 numbers:

• Then the Psalms, that JESUS as ISRAEL quoted from, are located in our Bibles as the 19^th Book from Genesis and the 48^th Book from Genesis, in a reflection of the year that ISRAEL was reborn.

Additionally, and most critically, these 6 numbers total 147, that is the exact age of Jacob / ISRAEL when he died, or went home to be with the LORD.

Therefore, this is a unique set of 6 numbers that literally represent when ISRAEL began, as defined in the life and death of Jacob who became Israel, being born as the 22^nd generation from Adam and dying at the age of 147.

[Diagram 3] - showing Israel beginning with 22 and ending with 147:

God's Triads - the Next Signpost

As a whole set, the 6 numbers that formed 777, as shown in [Diagram 1] above, can be further developed as a template by being divided into two triads [1, 2, 3] and [4, 5, 6] as shown below.

[Diagram 4] 6 number sequence forming two triads:

This is an important step, for it will help us to understand what follows, for now that we have both our 6 numbers [22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27], that we identified in the previous section as being a pointer to ISRAEL, and we have our Numerical Key template, that has been developed further to understand it as two triads, we are now ready to take our next step in following God's Roadmap to the end.

This involves determining where these 6 numbers are actually pointing to next, and fortunately, this is straight forward because our Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is constantly doing things in threes.

Psalm 22 - the First Stop on God's Roadmap to the End (that will end with ISAIAH)

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

In this regard, beginning at the number 22, we had JESUS - who is the Fulfilment of ISRAEL, pointing to one of the most significant Triads in the bible, with His last breaths on the Cross. He did this by quoting from Psalm 22, which is directly connected to the first number, in our sequence of six, because as above, the symbolic number for ISRAEL is 22: 

⁴⁶And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew 27:46

and

​"¹ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?...." Psalms 22:1

I've explored the topic of Triads in detail in another article, which you can access by clicking here.

For our discussion today, it’s essential to recognize that in ancient Israel, the majority of people lacked access to written texts. Knowledge and stories were primarily shared orally. This practice led to the ancient Jewish tradition of quoting the opening line of a passage to evoke the entire section that followed, into the minds of the audience. Without the aid of chapter or verse numbers, the first words of a psalm or prophecy functioned as a gateway—a verbal key that unlocked not just the immediate text, but all that came after it. To quote the beginning was to summon the entirety of the message.

Significantly with regard to our numbers, while the Psalms were not numbered in the original text as they are now, they were still in the same order, so what we understand as Psalm 22 today, was in fact still the 22^nd Psalm to an ancient audience. Therefore, because Jesus was quoting from this Psalm on the Cross, those witnessing these events —who knew God's Word— would have been aware that He was also pointing to the Psalms 23 and 24. For even in that day, these three Psalms were understood by the community responsible for shaping the Psalter —the temple‑centered, Levitical worship community of ancient Israel— as being connected. They saw them as the Shepherd Psalms of David, from whom the Messiah would one day come, although they had no understanding of the Messiah as a Suffering Servant.

So here, on the Cross, Jesus was pointing to the very first three numbers [22, 23, 24] of our sequence of 6 numbers, as a Triad that had a connected theme related to the Messiah. For the ancient audience it was meant for them to connect Jesus as their Messiah, who would begin as the Suffering Servant (Psalm 22) on the Cross, before becoming the Shepherd of Israel (Psalm 23), and ultimately returning as their King of Glory (Psalm 24). 

However, for us as a modern audience, living in the end of days, it was meant to serve as a 'way point', a marker on God's Roadmap to the end, that would be established by understanding that the Cross was literally the fulfilment of Daniel's 69^th week, that sits inside his 70^th week prophecy:

Notably this prophecy is essentially described in chapter 9 of Daniel (where symbolically the number 9 means finality), in verse numbers that perfectly correspond to our 6 number sequence [22 to 27] literally beginning at Daniel 9:22 and going through to Daniel 9:27:

²² And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
²³ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. ²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. ²⁵ Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.²⁶And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:22-27

Importantly, while this passage describes a prophetic 70 Weeks, which is weeks of years, making it 70 x 7, or 490 years in total, for all Sin and Iniquity to be dealt with, and Righteousness to be established, it also highlights the 69^th Week, that is 69 x 7, or 483 years, to when the Messiah would be cut off (a euphemism for being killed).

In this way, the death of Jesus Christ —which is English for the Greek  Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, which is Greek for the Hebrew מָשִׁ֖יחַ ישֵׁוּעַ— literally marked the 69^th week of Daniels prophecy:

 ²⁵Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. ²⁶ And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.²⁷ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:25-27

This is incredibly significant, because the fulfilment of the 69^th Week of Daniel's prophecy —that marks the closure of the first triad of numbers [22, 23, 24], that together sum to 69 (22 + 23 + 24 = 69), and that were prophetically describing the coming Messiah in Psalms 22-24— also points in the passage above to the second triad of numbers [25, 26, 27] in our sequence of 6 numbers [22, 23, 24 - 25, 26, 27], that ultimately concludes in verse 27 with a reference to the activities of the Antichrist, in the middle of Daniel's 70^th week - a.k.a. the Tribulation.

As such, these numbers can literally be understood as being part of God's Roadmap, that is clearly pointing to the End, as the following graphic illustrates.

[Diagram 5] - God's Triads and His Roadmap to the End: 

So as a whole, the 6 numbers (1 - 6) that formed 777, as shown in [Diagram 1], in the first section of this article, can then be divided into two triads [1, 2, 3] and [4, 5, 6], as shown in [Diagram 4] above, to form a template for our 6 numbers (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) —that are associated with both JESUS and ISRAEL— to be applied to. 

This reveals that the first Triad [22, 23, 24] brings us to Jesus, simultaneously fulfilling the Old Covenant and the 69th Week of Daniel on the Cross, while pointing to the second Triad [25, 26, 27] that connects with Daniel's 70^th Week, otherwise known as either, 'the Time of Jacob's Trouble', or the Tribulation.

The Cross and the Numerical Connection to 23

Clearly, beginning with Jesus' quote from Psalm 22, we have a pointer to the remaining numbers, starting with the number 23 (Psalm 23), through the use of Triads.

Notably, as the first triad involves the numbers [22, 23, 24], then as shown above, the addition of these 3 numbers also gives you:

22 + 23 + 24 = 69

So, amazingly the connection of this Triad to Daniel's 69^th week is not just theological and cultural, as explained above (with regard to the Jewish custom of quoting the beginning to point to the whole), but it is also numerical. This is incredibly significant because when you consider the number 69 mathematically, you realize it can also be understood as:

23 x 3 = 69

Therefore, the completion of Daniel's 69^th week can also be understood as 23 x 3, where symbolically these numbers reveal:

the limit of God striving with Sinful Man (23) x the divine act of judgement by a Triune God (3) = 69

I have written about this central meaning of the number 23 numerous times in other articles, showing how it was directly connected to the end of God striving with Sinful Man - so you can read more about this by clicking here.

However, as can be seen from the above, this mathematical connection fits perfectly with the meaning of the 69^th Week of Daniel, when Jesus literally became Sin for all of mankind and was judged on the Cross in our place, at the appointed time, when God would no longer strive with man's Sin, just as He declared in Genesis 6:3:

³ And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. Genesis 6:3

Here in Genesis, this limitation of God was connected to a symbolic number 120, that I believe directly relates to the Fall of Man, which the bible supports occurred when Adam was 99. Given this, it also means mankind in Adam walked in Righteousness with God for 98 years.

In this way:

98 + 23 = 121

which makes 23 numerically equivalent with breaking the symbolic limit of 120, that was first reached with Noah's Ark, as opposed to when the symbolic number for ISRAEL, being 22, fulfilled this limit of God's Grace and Mercy:

98 + 22 = 120 

Later this limit of God striving with Sin was seen again when Moses lived to the age of 120. At this time, we see a profound connection with Joshua (Yehoshua, or its abbreviated form Yeshua) —whose name in Hebrew is synonymous with Jesus (Yeshua). Essentially although Moses at 120 had not been weakened by age, the task of taking God's people into the Promised land fell to Joshua because Moses had reached the symbolic age. As such, Joshua was a picture of Jesus leading God's people into the Promised Land, just as Jesus will soon guide all believers into the greater promised land of Heaven, during the Rapture, because of what He did on the Cross.

In this way, the theme of God reaching a symbolic limit of striving with Man reappears in the context of Jesus on the Cross, in connection with the 69^th Week of Daniel, that was fulfilled when Jesus died, and which is numerically 23 x 3.

Thus, the number 23 is literally the next stop on our Roadmap, that began with God creating Israel (22), and that now will take us from the Cross to the Rapture and the Tribulation, from the 69^th week of Daniel to the 70^th Week. 

23 - the Connection to Isaiah

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

Now, through all of this, we can begin to see the end-time connection between God's Roadmap and the book of ISAIAH. For on multiple levels - theological; cultural and mathematical, the number 23 was literally the next number being pointed to, and in our modern bibles, Isaiah is the 23^rd Book.

It also makes this prophetic Roadmap a revelation strictly for the generation living just prior to when Jesus returns. For while the ancient Israelites clearly did not need to know about the end, just as God stated in Daniel 12:9:

⁹ And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Daniel 12:9

it was also an impossibility anyway because the sovereign God, who knows the End before the Beginning, knew that the order of the Books would change from the order of the Hebrew Bible in Jesus’ day. In this regard, the ancient Tanakh structure that involved the:

Torah → Prophets → Writings 

was vastly different to what we now see in our modern Christian Bibles. This ancient tripartite structure (another Triad) is well‑attested in Second Temple Judaism and reflected in Jesus’ own words in Luke 24:44, referring to “the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”.

However, as the following will show it was not only the order that varied, but also the number of the books:

The Order of the Hebrew Scriptures in Jesus’ Day (Tanakh)

I. Torah (תורה — The Law)

1. Genesis
2. Exodus
3. Leviticus
4. Numbers
5. Deuteronomy

This section is universally identical in all traditions.

II. Nevi’im (נביאים — The Prophets)

A. Former Prophets

6. Joshua
7. Judges
8. Samuel (1–2)
9. Kings (1–2)

B. Latter Prophets

10. Isaiah
11. Jeremiah
12. Ezekiel
13. The Twelve (Hosea → Malachi as one unified book)

This entire Prophets section is confirmed in Jewish canonical tradition and reflected in NT usage.

III. Ketuvim (כתובים — The Writings)

The Writings were the least standardized in the 1^st century, but the traditional Jewish order — preserved in later manuscripts — reflects the Second Temple arrangement.

14. Psalms
15. Job
16. Proverbs

The Five Scrolls (Megillot)

17. Ruth
18. Song of Songs
19. Ecclesiastes
20. Lamentations
21. Esther

Historical Writings

22. Daniel
23. Ezra–Nehemiah
24.Chronicles (1–2)

Chronicles was the final book of the Hebrew canon — a fact with deep theological significance, noted in modern scholarship.

So, in this ancient form ISAIAH is no longer the 23^rd book, rather it is the 10^th. As such there would have been no connection mathematically or theologically to the number 23 beyond Jesus' quote of Psalm 22 pointing the ancient audience to the Triad of Psalms that were in the same order 22, 23 and 24, for the purposes of identifying Him as their Messiah. For as stated above, the Scribes; Pharisees and Sadducees would have all recognized this Triad of Psalms as connected, being both Shepherd related and Messianic in nature.

Importantly though, while it is extremely clear that the number 23 is pointing to the next destination on God's Roadmap, it is also important to note that we are not just relying on ISAIAH being the 23^rd book to establish it as the 23 that God is referring to in this whole pattern. Essentially there is a principle in scripture that states that, it is only in connection with two or three witnesses that a matter can be established:

¹⁵ “One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established. Deuteronomy 19:15

This is critical to understand because the conclusions being draw here are eternal ones and the ideas being discussed here must have strong foundations if we are to give any credence to them. So, with that said we would now look at another witness to the 23, that is clearly linked to the 69^th Week of Daniel, to see whether it can also testify to a connection with Isaiah.

How the Name of Isaiah connects to 23 - the 2ⁿᵈWitness

In this respect, it is possibly the 'name of someone' that is the most powerful witness to who they are, and what they are connected to.

At least that is the case in the Bible that made much of the name of Jacob the deceiver; the supplanter; the heel grabber, all meanings of his name, that after striving and prevailing with God, was changed to ISRAEL, that also carries a range of meanings that lift one's status, because all believers that are ultimately grafted into ISRAEL, will be people who have striven with God and have prevailed:

Israel (iz’-ra-el) = He will be a prince with God; prince with God; contender of God; he strives with God; soldier of God; God will rule; God ruled Man; ruling with God; one that prevails with God.

Stelman Smith and Judson Cornwall, The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names (North Brunswick, NJ: Bridge-Logos, 1998), 114.

Therefore, from this perspective, we will now consider the name of ISAIAH:

Firstly, Isaiah - יְשַׁעְיָ֫הוּ is generally understood as 'Salvation is of the LORD', as the following from the Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names indicates:

Isaiah (i-za’-yah) = Salvation of the LORD; Jehovah is helper; salvation is of the LORD. Save thou Jehovah.

Stelman Smith and Judson Cornwall, The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names (North Brunswick, NJ: Bridge-Logos, 1998), 112.

This is truly significant because while the following shows that there were actually two forms of Isaiah in Hebrew, and both forms are entirely correct and properly represent his name, the meaning that points to Salvation coming from the LORD, does not change. They are simply the long form and the short form of the exact same name in Hebrew.

 [Table 4] - Gematria of Isaih's Name - Long Form                                     [Table 5] - Gematria of Isaiah's Name - Short Form - STD.   

Here is a breakdown of why both exist:

1. The Literal Meanings

Both names are "theophoric," meaning they combine a Hebrew verb with a name for God.

• יְשַׁעְיָהוּ (Yeshayahu): "Yehovah / Yahweh is salvation" (using the fuller formYahu).

• יְשַׁעְיָה (Yeshayah): "Yehovah / Yahweh is salvation" (using the shortened name Yah).

2. Biblical Usage

• The Long Form (יְשַׁעְיָהוּ): This is the official form used in the original text of the Book of Isaiah itself. It is how the prophet is officially introduced (e.g., Isaiah 1:1).

• The Short Form (יְשַׁעְיָה): This form appears later in the Hebrew Bible (such as in Ezra and Nehemiah) and became the standard, everyday pronunciation over time. It is also the version that translates directly into the English name "Isaiah."

The difference you see in the vowel and accent marks (like the small lines under and next to the letters in יְשַֽׁעְיָ֔הוּ) are just cantillation marks added centuries later by scribes to show how to chant the text in the synagogue.

I find the existence of these two forms particularly interesting because the later change of the form of the name seems to reflect both how the revelation of the Endtimes was sealed up and unknown by Daniel, being a revelation for the later generation; and it also reflects how ancient Israel did not understand fully the Messianic Psalm 22 because of their lack of understanding about the Messiah as a Suffering Servant.

So, in this sense the later form of Isaiah, as it appears in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, also seems to reflect our later understanding of God's End-Times; and for this reason, the later and shorter form of Isaiah, that carries the Gematria Value of 391 perfectly aligns with our contention that the number 23, in connection with God's Roadmap to the end, is pointing to Isaiah. This is because numerically this form is a multiple of 23:

391 = 23 x 17

So not only is Isaiah connected a second time, through his name, to the number 23, but it is also connected to the number 17; and given that the 17^th Nisan is the day that Jesus was resurrected, three days and nights after being crucified and dying on Passover, on the 14^th Nisan, we see that Isaiah is also connected to the new Resurrection Life (17) that comes to all believers when they are saved, just as the meaning of his name implies.

In this regard, the names of Isaiah and Jesus essentially share an identical linguistic root in Hebrew: י-ש-ע (Y-S-Ch), which forms the verb meaning "to rescue," "to deliver," or "to save." In this way, both names are essentially prophetic summaries of their respective ministries.

The Linguistic Breakdown:

• Isaiah (Yeshayahu / יְשַׁעְיָהוּ): This name is a compound sentence. It combines the root for salvation (Yesha) with the covenant name of God (Yahu). It translates literally to "The LORD is salvation."

• Jesus (Yeshua / יֵשׁוּעַ): This name is a direct derivative of the exact same root noun, Yeshua, which literally means "Salvation." In its fuller, original form (Yehoshua / Joshua), it also translates to "The LORD is salvation."

The Theological Connection:

In Hebrew thought, a name represents destiny and character. So, the connection between these two names creates a perfect literary and theological loop: 

Isaiah's message: His entire prophetic book is dedicated to announcing how God will save His people, particularly through the "Suffering Servant."

Ultimately, Isaiah spent his life proclaiming "The LORD is salvation," while Jesus arrived as the literal personification of that statement: "Salvation."

Therefore, we now have two witnesses to 23 being a pointer to Isaiah:

• the later order of his book in English Bibles - being the 23^rd book;

• and the later form of his name that connects both the number 23 and 17 to the meaning of his name, that as a "theophoric" name is a revelation that "Salvation is of the LORD" 

How Triangular Numbers connect to Isaiah - the 3ʳᵈ Witness

Now for our third witness to support the number 23 being associated with Isaiah, we move to a mathematical connection that will once again involve reference to Triangular Numbers that I have written about numerous times.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have previously discussed the significance of the numbers 22 to 27 in relation to both the Triad on the Cross [22, 23, 24] and their role within a 10-Year Convergent Window. This window began in 2020 and will conclude in 2029, during which the Gregorian Years align seamlessly with the Hebrew Years. 

For example:

The Gregorian year 2020 corresponds to the Hebrew Year 5780, where the digits of the Hebrew Year sum up to the decade and the year portion of the Gregorian Year:

5+7+8+0 = 20 that corresponds to 2020

similarly, the Gregorian year 2029 will correspond with the Hebrew Year 5789

5+7+8+9 = 29 that corresponds to the 2029

Essentially, all of the years in-between align numerically during this 10-year window, but only during this window. For after doing an extensive search over 478 years into the future, I found that this convergence was unique to the 10 years from 2020 (Hebrew year 5780) - 2029 (Hebrew year 5789).

Then to compound the nature of this unique period, I found that smackdab in the middle of what I called a Convergent Window there were 6 Strong's Bible Hebrew Numbers (from H5782 to H5787) that are in common usage in the majority of Bibles on the planet, that have the same numbers as in the Hebrew Years, and that were associated with 6 forms of a single Hebrew Word.

So given that our current year 2026 —which is the Hebrew year 5786 that aligns with the Strong's Hebrew Word 5786 (highlighted in Yellow below)— falls within this unique window, it is clear that we are living in special times.

Strong's Hebrew Word:5782 = 5+7+8+2 = 22 
Strong's Hebrew Word:5783 = 5+7+8+3 = 23 
Strong's Hebrew Word:5784 = 5+7+8+4 = 24
Strong's Hebrew Word:5785 = 5+7+8+5 = 25 

Strong's Hebrew Word:5787 = 5+7+8+7 = 27

 Significantly, each of the individual meanings of these 6 forms of the same root word seemed to summarize the Fall and Redemptive History of Mankind - as can be seen by the basic meanings taken from the Strong’s Talking Greek and Hebrew Dictionary (WORDsearch, 2020) below:

Hebrew Strong’s Number: 5782  = 5+7+8+2 = 22 -עור (root word) - form - עוּרִ

[James Strong, “‏עִוֵּר‎,” in Strong’s Talking Greek and Hebrew Dictionary (WORDsearch, 2020)]

These can be summarized as per below to make the connections and meanings clearer:

Strong's Hebrew Word:5782 = 5+7+8+2 = 22 -עור(root word)-form - עוּר - ‎Awakening - the Fall
Strong's Hebrew Word:5783 = 5+7+8+3 = 23 -עור (root word) - form - עוּר - Nakedness Revealed - the Physical Consequence
Strong's Hebrew Word:5784 = 5+7+8+4 = 24 -עור (root word) - form - עוּר - Chaff, Spiritual Emptiness - the Spiritual Consequence
Strong's Hebrew Word:5785 = 5+7+8+5 = 25 -עור (root word) - form - עוֹר- Covering and Temporary Atonement - (animal skin)
Strong's Hebrew Word:5786 = 5+7+8+6 = 26 -עור (root word) - form - עָוַר - Partial Blindness and Deception (end times)
Strong's Hebrew Word:5787 = 5+7+8+7 = 27-עור (root word) - form - עִוֵּר - Totally Blind Ones and Final Judgement (Tribulation)

So, the deeper significance of these numbers, that originally ranged from 5780 - 5789, or when added together 20 - 29 [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29], until we reduced them in line with the Strong's Hebrew words with number ranging from 5782 - 5787 is that these numbers completely correspond to our 6 number Numerical Key [22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27], as can also be seen from the summary above. 

Additionally, this all supports the idea that many of God's Key End Time events could be occurring within the Window of Time, that these numbers define, and that conclude with the number 27 or 2027, if the LORD does not delay. Importantly - I am not saying that the LORD will definitely come back in this Time Frame, I am simply recognizing the Patterns as I find them, and the patterns are clearly saying that it is possible.

Also, while some might think that this is just a repeat of material that I have already written, it is incredibly important for them to realize that this is not the case. For while there is clearly an overlap in that this previous material did involve the numbers 22,23,24,25, 26, and 27, this is only because I believe that there is a convergence of prophecy occurring right now that reflects how close we are to the End, and everything is beginning to align.

In this respect, it important to realize that what follows is a new pattern and that it should not be dismissed without investigating it like a Berean. Essentially, in this article, I have arrived at these numbers from a completely different direction to that of previous articles. This time they come from noticing there is a Numerical Key that is based upon applying the Biblical Principle of Jesus being the Alpha and Omega; The First and the Last and the Beginning and the End to 6 numbers showing how they point to 777 and God's Completion of the Age, and how applying the same principle to 7 numbers they point to 888 and the new Beginning in Jesus.

Additionally, the direction that this is heading is also completely different. For as the Title and the Introduction suggest, there are clues in Isaiah which will complete what I believe is God's Roadmap to the End and so while there is some overlap, this is something that we should expect anyway if the numbers actually play the prophetic role, that I believe God is showing us that they do. Essentially everything should be converging and confirming other prophetic clues that we have found in the past. Importantly, most of what follows will be new revelation and I will be dealing a lot with Star Numbers, which I have not done before and there is a plethora of clues hidden within these that point us toward the End,

So, with that said, I will now just briefly summarize some key points about the 23^rd Triangular Number (T₂₃) that I believe provides a third witness that the number 23, that is part of our Numerical Key of 6, is actually pointing to the Book of Isaiah.

Based upon the formula for Triangular Numbers, that is Tn = n(n+1)/2, the 23^rd Triangular Number is as follows:

T₂₃ = 23(23+1)/2
T₂₃ = 23(24) /2
T₂₃ = 552 /2
T₂₃ = 276

This is huge because in Acts 27 this is the exact number of souls saved with Acts 27 saying there were 276 souls onboard the Ship that was taking Paul to Rome:

³⁷ And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. Acts 27:37

Then after they experience a Shipwreck, that in the natural would have killed them all, the subsequent verses in Acts 27:42-44 record the fulfillment of Paul's prophecy in verse 22 (the symbolic number of Israel, that represents the salvation of all souls) that none of them would die. Essentially, the verses show that while the ship was destroyed by the violent sea, all 276 passengers and crew made it safely to the shore of Malta, with not a single life lost.

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 27:42 - 28:1

In this way, Acts 27 is equivalent to the mathematical value of the 23^rd Triangle with the two numbers (23 and 276) combining to create a prophetic picture in line with the meaning of Isaiah's name - 'Salvation is of the LORD':

'Salvation (276) in the midst of judgment (23), Deliverance (276) in the moment when God ceases striving (23)' 

Then further to this, as can be seen by the graphics below, the 23^rd Triangle can be understood as a picture of the time when God no longer strives with Man, and both enacts judgement and salvation. This is because the 23^rd Triangle that has 276 elements can be deconstructed into 4 individual triangles comprised of:

3 @ T₁₁ triangles 
1 @ T₁₂ Triangle

Again, from the formula Tn = n(n+1)/ 2 we can see that the values for these triangles are as follows:

T₁₁ = 11(12)/ 2 = 66
T₁₂ = 12(13)/2 = 78

Then combining them we have:

3 x 66 (T₁₁) =198 
1 x 78 (T₁₂) = 78
198 + 78 = 276

Importantly, this deconstructed 23^rd Triangle is comprised of:

66 + 66 + 66 (reflecting the 666 of the antichrist) + 78 (that symbolizes a transition in Time when God's Judgement begins - when He finishes striving)

[Diagram 6] - 23^rd Triangular Number                                                    [Diagram 7] - 23^rd Triangular Number - Deconstructed

This is truly important because it emphasizes that the number 78 both comes at an appointed time, a transitional moment in time when God no longer strives with Sin and begins to judge, for it sits at the center of everything, to overcome the darkness that is represented by the symbolic doubling of 666 in 66 + 66 + 66. In so doing, it helps to establish our third witness for understanding how the number 23 is connecting us to the Book of Isaiah, for the 23^rd Triangle mathematically highlights the number 66 and Isaiah has 66 Chapters.

So, the book of Isaiah in the end-time English versions is the 23^rd Book of the Bible (witness 1) and his name means 'Salvation is of the LORD', in line with the numerical value of his name being a multiple of 23 and 17 (that represents the new resurrection associated with Jesus' resurrection on the 17^th Nisan - 23 x 17 = 391 (witness 2). This then led us to the mathematical proof connected to the 23^rd Triangle that combined both the theological theme of Salvation —with its picture of the Salvation of 276 souls— with a mathematical representation of it being God's appointed time (78) to overcome the darkness (represented by three groups of 66) that reflect the 66 chapters of Isaiah (witness 3).

As such, in light of all of this, I believe that God is highlighting the Book of Isaiah as the next stop on His Roadmap to the End.

However, because this 3^rd witness is also highlighting the number 78, both as an appointed time and as a symbol of both Judgement and Salvation, before I examine Isaiah in some detail, I want to briefly consider the number 78 further, as this is also a number that was highlighted in my previous article that reflects a lot on the meaning of 78 and that can be read by clicking here.

And as mentioned earlier, it was part of a narrative within Scripture, that was recorded in two chapters of John, chapters 7 and 8, that involved a transition between the 7^th Feast of the Lord (Tabernacles) to the 8^th Day Feast of the LORD (Shmini Atzeret), when the Woman caught in Adultery was brought to Jesus. This is important because theologically and existentially it is a transition between the Ages of Man and Time itself, for 7 represents the 7^th Day of Creation, when God will Tabernacle with Man during the Millenium, and 8 represents Eternity, the 8^th Day that will never end, that will begin once the 7^th 1,000-year Day is over.

Some Deeper Connections to 78

Notably, 78 is 26 x 3, where 26 is the value of God's personal name יְהוָֹה (Yehovah / Yahweh) and 3 represent the fulness of Divinity in the Trinity (Father Son and Holy Spirit). As such, it speaks to events that involve the sovereignty of God. However, its importance to the end-times, as a timing clue, is continually being revealed, so it warrants further investigation.

Most of what comes in this section is taken from a video that was originally sourced from the website biblegematria.com, but can be viewed below, or on Youtube at the following link: (2211) Alpha and Omega - YouTube

The significance of this video for me is the fact that its references to the number 78 were drawn out of understanding how the bible handles Jesus' statement about being the Alpha and Omega.

By applying the standard Greek Gematria values (see the table below) and the values of the mathematical constant Pi (π), the God who declares the End from the Beginning reveals His desire for us to know His imminent return. The following will demonstrate how intricately He has woven this truth into every aspect of Creation.

 [Table 6] - Standard Greek Gematria:

Importantly, the New Testament identifies Jesus as “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24), and as the Logos present “in the beginning” (John 1:1-3). Paul writes, “In Him all things were created… and in Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:16-17). The overlap with Proverbs 8, which reveals Him as the Wisdom of God is deliberate and very significant because here, He reveals how He literally drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He was transforming the formless and void waters of the deep into the earth, where He would dwell with His image bearers.

²⁷ When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep Proverbs 8:27

It was clearly so important to God that the home (earth) He created for us to dwell with Him be a circle, that He declared Wisdom was present at its very creation.

So incredibly when you go back to the very beginning, in Genesis 1:1, and look at the original Hebrew, where God describes the creation of the Heavens and Earth —with the understanding that the latter is actually in the form of a circle— something amazing can be found:

If you count the number of Hebrew Letters in the top row, that represents the very first verse of the Bible, when God created the Heavens and the Earth, ignoring the dots and vowel markings above and below the letters, you will find that there are exactly 28 letters and 7 words. This is God's first revelation of the significance of 7, that relate to His oaths, that are His absolute commitment to complete and fulfill all of His promises. 

Then using the chart below, you can assign the standard Hebrew Gematria Value to each of the Letters and total them for the Words:  

Doing this will result in the following values:

Then using the following formula, we can establish an approximation of the mathematical constant Pi (π), that is used to define a Circle:

Pi ≈ (Number of Letters * Product of Letters) / (Number of Words * Product of Words)

Clearly multiplying these numbers out, you get some very large numbers, that produce the figures below:

Pi ≈ (28 * B ≈ 2.3887872×10³⁴) / (7 * D ≈ 3.04153525784×10¹⁷) = 3.141554507... (repeating)

This gives you an approximation of Pi π to five decimal places of 3.14155, with the 5^th decimal place being 0.00004 lower than the actual value of 3.14159...

This results in an incredible accuracy of 99.9988% compared to the true value of Pi (π). An error margin of this size would not actually make any difference in civil engineering or general construction. For example, in everyday structures (like a 10-meter foundation) it would produce a negligible error of less than 0.4 mm, which is significantly smaller than the actual building tolerances that allow for a variance of up to 1 cm. So, for most purposes, this makes the biblical version of Pi (π) extremely accurate. It is only when scaled up to dimensions, supposedly involved in Astrophysics and intragalactic distances, that greater accuracy would be required.

This is astounding because from the very first verse of the Bible, that is describing the creation of all that exists, God is revealing Pi (π) as the universal constant, that would define a circle, as a fixed ratio between its Circumference and its Diameter; and that would establish the circle as the most significant feature that would define His creation of the Earth.

As will be seen, the reason for this decision is incredible in that it connects directly with His desire, as the Alpha and Omega of all that exists, to dwell with us. Obviously, the principle of the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End and the First and the Last of all Creation has been used as the foundation in this article for discovering God's hidden numerical keys. Then these arguably point us prophetically to the end-times and the Book of Isaiah, for the purpose of establishing a guide to how things are going to play out in the closing of this Age of Grace.  As such, what follows will hopefully summarize some key points that highlight Pi's (π) numerical significance in all of this.

Essentially, there is one verse where Jesus declares that He is all three - the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End and the First and the Last. In English it is Revelation 22:13:

¹³ I am -- Alpha and -- Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:13

As stated earlier, this is because God is a Trinity and does things in threes. However, in the Greek, there are two forms of how the words Alpha and Omega are written in the text.

The first is in the Textus Receptus (that stands for Received Text), that the King James Version Bible (KJV) used to translate the New Testament from. Then the second is the Novum Testamentum Graece (Latin for "New Testament in Greek"), which is often referred to as the Nestle-Aland (NA) edition, and is the fundamental foundation for nearly all modern Bible translations, such as NIV, ESV, NLT etc.

1) Textus Receptus recorded the text in Revelation 22:13 as:

"Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ὦ, ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος."

Here the words for the Alpha and Omega were simply recorded as single Letters:

Α καὶ τὸ Ὦ - literally just the letters themselves, that have the following gematria values:

A (1) + Ὦ (800) = 801

2) Nestle-Aland (NA) edition recorded the text in Revelation 22:13 as:

"ἐγὼ τὸ Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ Ὦ, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ἡ ἀρχὴ καὶ τὸ τέλος."

Here the words for the Alpha and Omega were:

Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ Ὦ - literally the full word for Alpha and just the letter itself for Omega, that have the following gematria values:

Ἄλφα (532) + Ὦ (800) = 1332

So essentially, in two different Bible versions, we have Alpha and Omega represented with values of 801 and 1332.

He is literally the God who declares the end from the beginning because using both of these numbers, that would appear in connection with every major English bible version, we can now consider them in relation to PI π, the universal constant of curvature and cycles, that weaves the geometry of circles into the fundamental laws of nature, waves, and probability, remembering that in Creation, as detailed above, one of the first actions of God was to shape the Heavens and Earth that were originally formless and void.

In this regard, not only did Proverbs 8:27 (see above) describe God inscribing a circle on the face of the Deep, but Job 26:10 presented a parallel passage, that described its purpose —saying that it effectively establishes the cycles of light and darkness that define night and day, that in turn define what we understand as a Day (that leads to the cycle of 7 Days)— stating:

“He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters as a boundary of light and darkness.”

This is so significant, because it makes a symbolic connection between Pi π and the end-time spiritual battle between God and Satan; Light and Dark; Truth and Deception; and like God, the universal constant of PI begins with the number 3, reflecting the Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Then in another reflection of His nature, it is followed with decimal numbers that have been mathematically proven to be infinite and will never end.

For the purposes of this discussion, I have included the first 1,400 of these decimals below:

25338243003558764024749647326391419927260426992279

So now, recalling that in two major Greek Sources (Textus Receptus and Nestle-Aland N28), that cover all of our modern bibles, Alpha and Omega are recorded in forms that carry gematria values of 801 and 1332, we can investigate what God has hidden in these numbers.  By using the numeric listing above, where I have highlighted the 801^st and 1332^nd digits of Pi π in Red, we can see that these values point to two numbers as follows:

  801 → 5
1332 → 6

Incredibly they point to 5 and 6 that when considered together, because they are pointing to the same thing in Alpha and Omega, we have the number 56. And mathematically:

the 56^th Composite number (any number with two or more factors) points to → 78

This can be seen by looking at the following List that shows the first 100 Composite Numbers:

The numbers in bold on the left are not the composite numbers themselves, they are just showing how the numbers within each decade range include the composite numbers to the right.

So, starting at the composite number 4 in the first line, there are actually 5 composite numbers in the first range of 1-10. If you just keep counting, the number 12 in the second line, that falls in the decade range 11-20, will be the 6^th composite number; and 21 in the third line, that falls in the decade range 21-30 will be the 12^th Composite number and so on, with the 56^th composite number ultimately being 78:

• 1–10: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10
• 11–20: 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20
• 21–30: 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30
• 31–40: 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40
• 41–50: 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50
• 51–60: 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60
• 61–70: 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70
• 71–80: 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80
• 81–90: 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90
• 91–100: 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100
• 101–110: 102, 104, 105, 106, 108, 110
• 111–120: 111, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120
• 121–130: 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 128, 129, 130
• 131–133: 132, 133

In this way, the number 78 is mathematically connected to the words Alpha and Omega and since Jesus is the Alpha and Omega then:

78 is also directly connected to → Jesus

Then when we consider how we also revealed the number 78 through the 23^rd Triangle T₂₃ as being God's appointed time (78) to overcome the darkness (represented by three groups of 66), that reflect the 66 chapters of Isaiah, we can begin to understand just how significant —in connection with the end times— that the number 78 actually is.

In fact, because we have now seen how through the decimals connected to Pi π, in relation to the Alpha and Omega, point to 56 and through mathematics, the 56^th composite number points to 78, its importance seems to be exponentially rising.

Notably also, this relationship effectively creates an unbroken circle, for not only does:

56 point to → 78

but because 7 x 8 = 56 then:

78 points back to → 56.

Thus 2026 is a recurring theme and number that clearly carries great significance in God's End-Time Plans and so regardless of whether Jesus comes back this year or not and it is absolutely possible that He could, I believe we can be sure that before the year is out that somehow, it will play a very significant role prophetically speaking.

And sealing the importance of these numbers, that combine to form our current time in History on God's Hebrew Calendar, is the fact that when you add the 56 Composite Numbers, that are pointed to by the numbers for Alpha and Omega, and that end in the number 78, the Total Value comes to 2,368, which is:

Ἰησοῦς Χριστός
Jesus      Christ
 888    +   1480 = 2368

So again 78 points to → Jesus Christ.

Given the importance of this number, that I do not believe can be overstated, it is also interesting to note how it forms the central number in our Convergent Window, representing the two digits in the middle of each of the Hebrew Years, that also add together to correspond with the numbers in our Numerical Key of 6 [22,23,24,25,26,27]:

5782 → 5+7+8+2 = 22 that corresponds to 2022
5783 → 5+7+8+3 = 23 that corresponds to 2023
5784 → 5+7+8+4 = 24 that corresponds to 2024
5785 → 5+7+8+5 = 25 that corresponds to 2025
5786 → 5+7+8+6 = 26 that corresponds to 2026
5787 → 5+7+8+7 = 27 that corresponds to 2027

This does not happen again for centuries after 2029 (Hebrew Year 5789 - 5+7+8+9=29, for when it changes to 2030 and the Hebrew Year changes to 5790, these numbers do not add to 30, but to 21, that has no connection with 2030). And as I say, I checked the next 478 years, out of interest, and it did not happen again in all of that time.

So, we are currently in a very unique period in History, where the Hebrew Years and the Gregorian Years have a convergence numerically, and as per above, God has woven the number 78 into this special time, along with one instance of the numbers 5 and 6. All of which highlights this current season that we are in as being special, with respect to the end of days.

Also, quite intriguingly, if you start at the first instance of the appearance of the number 78 in the decimals of Pi π  and you count 2,184 characters, which is 78 x 28, you will find that the number 78 appears precisely 28 times in that block of digits. So, within the digits of Pi, there is a correlation between the number 78 and the number 28, which when we deal with Star Numbers later in the article, will be seen to be another very important number, that connects us to Jesus.

Hopefully, the importance of highlighting the number 78 before we began to examine Isaiah —who has multiple ties to the number 23— more closely, should now be clear.

Essentially, we needed to establish 78's connection to the number 23, that Jesus was pointing to by quoting from the beginning of the Triad of Psalms 22, 23, and 24, that numerically add to 69 (23 x 3), and that affirm that Jesus was fulfilling Daniel's Prophecy, which states that the Messiah would be cut off at the 69^th Week.

So not only is the number 78 directly connected to Jesus, both as the Christ / Messiah and as the Alpha and Omega, but as we saw in relation to the 23^rd Triangle, that equaled 276 elements (that symbolizes Salvation), it was the key to understanding God purposes and timing, that are both themes that are symbolized in this Triangle. This was achieved by deconstructing it to show it as 4 Triangles instead of 1, that numerically reflect the battle taking place in the World (4) between God's Kingdom and Satan, with 1 triangle of 78 (representing God's actions in connection with His Covenants) being at the center of 3 triangles of 66, that represent the 666 (66+66+66) of the enemy.

Essentially 78 points to a transition between the Daniel's 69^th Week —as represented by the first triad numbers [22,23,24], that add to 69— and end of the Age that could end in connection with the number 78, for this is the value of the second triad numbers [25,26,27] that complete our Numerical Key of 6 numbers [22,23,24,25,26,27]:

25 + 26 + 27 = 78

This should not be a surprise because as I discussed in some detail in my previous article "The God who declares the End from the Beginning" (click here to read that), the number 78 is also 39 x 2, where 39 represents that Old Covenant that was fulfilled by Jesus.

Essentially, 39 is 13 x 3, which is the fulfilment of the Old Covenant law regarding - 13 (Rebellion / Redemption) by God (3) —that is revealed in the 39 (13x3) books of the Old Testament)— when Jesus the Son of God or Second Person of the Godhead (2) came into the world to complete the work of Redemption.

In this way, 39 x 2 = 78 was also a pointer to the First Coming of Jesus and arguably could be a pointer to the Second Coming. 

Numerical Key affirms central message

Interestingly this message of Redemption is affirmed by returning to the template of our Numerical Key to the End-Times.

Basically, as previously shown, we established that 6 numbers connected with creation [1,2,3,4,5,6] can as a template point us to 777. Then we identified that these 6 template numbers could be replaced with 6 specific numbers that point us to God's central theme of Salvation and Redemption in JESUS through ISRAEL. These specific numbers were 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 because they began and ended in connection with Jacob, who became ISRAEL.

Ater that we broke the 6 numbers into two Triads [22,23,24] and [25,26,27] to highlight how Jesus fulfilled the first Triad [22,23,24] that added to 69, when he cried out on the Cross, quoting from the Psalm 22, that aligned with the first number of that triad. Then, due to Jewish Customs, we saw that He was also pointing to the following Psalms 23 and 24, that also matched the numbers with our Triad.

Finally, given that Jesus was fulfilling the 69^th week of Daniel's 70^th Week Prophecy by being Crucified and noting that the first triad of Psalm numbers added to 69, we arrived on God's Road Map to the End at a Transition Point, that would prophetically be connected to by the numbers of the 2^nd Triad, that sum to 78, as shown above.

The Message

Essentially that is the point, on the Journey, where we are currently located, but by filtering the original Template numbers [1,2,3,4,5,6] by applying the first and the last principle of Jesus again, these two triads can be further be broken down to produce the numbers [2 and 4] and [5 and 10], as shown in Diagram 4 below, that effectively forms a sentence —due to the symbolism of the numbers— that summarizes the overarching purpose of God, as follows:

The Son of God (2) came into the World (4) and was filled with the Grace of the Holy Spirit (5) to empower Him to fulfil the Law of Sin and Death (10) on man's behalf.

[Diagram 8] 6 number sequence forming two triads:

Significantly, this additional step involving our template numbers enhances our understanding of how the numbers in the first triad, specifically [2] and [4], are connected to Jesus' actions in the world. Similarly, the numbers in the second triad, [5] and [10], historically relate to the fulfillment of the Old Covenant Law of Sin and Death on the Cross. However, these numbers not only represented that fulfillment, but they continue to symbolize the empowering Grace of the Holy Spirit. Importantly, this grace extends throughout the Age of Grace and the Church Age, reaching All Believers to give us victory over Sin and Death in our lives.

Effectively everyone has to personalize Jesus' victory for us on the Cross, just as Romans 10: 9-11 states:

⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.¹¹ For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:9-11

However, not only do these triad template numbers spell out a message, through the symbolism of the numbers, but as the following graphic also shows, the numbers can be reduced further until ultimately, they produce the number 21, that effectively bring us full circle, back to 777 —for 21 is 7+7+7— that again affirms that this numerical sequence of 6 numbers is ultimately a pointer to the completion of human history; and it is all hidden in the very fabric of Creation itself.

[Diagram 9]: the numerical sequence that returns us to 777 (God's End-Time Number).

The Mathematical connections between Jesus and Star Numbers

Additionally - given the Bibles based upon the Nestle Aland (N28) texts, such as NIV and ESV  etc., have Jesus as the Alpha and Omega recorded with a gematria value of 1332, as shown above, if we then consider Him in connection with the fulness of the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), who are all equal members of the Godhead and multiply this value by 3, we get:

1332 x 3 = 3996 

The formula to calculate the (n)-th Star Number (Sn) is expressed mathematically as: Sn=6n(n-1)+1

Here (n) represents the step or "layer" of the star.

For example:

The first Star Number (n=1) is just a single point (1).

The second (n=2) places a single dot at the center, six around it to form a hexagon, and six more radiating outward to form the star's points, totaling (13) and so on.

List of the first 100 Star Numbers organized into groups of 10:

• 1–10: 1, 13, 37, 73, 121, 181, 253, 337, 433, 541
• 11–20: 661, 793, 937, 1093, 1261, 1441, 1633, 1837, 2053, 2281
• 21–30: 2521, 2773, 3037, 3313, 3601, 3901, 4213, 4537, 4873, 5221
• 31–40: 5581, 5953, 6337, 6733, 7141, 7561, 7993, 8437, 8893, 9361
• 41–50: 9841, 10333, 10837, 11353, 11881, 12421, 12973, 13537, 14113, 14701
• 51–60: 15301, 15913, 16537, 17173, 17821, 18481, 19153, 19837, 20533, 21241
• 61–70: 21961, 22693, 23437, 24193, 24961, 25741, 26533, 27337, 28153, 28981
• 71–80: 29821, 30673, 31537, 32413, 33301, 34201, 35113, 36037, 36973, 37921
• 81–90: 38881, 39853, 40837, 41833, 42841, 43861, 44893, 45937, 46993, 48061
• 91–100: 49141, 50233, 51337, 52453, 53581, 54721, 55873, 57037, 58213, 59401

Fundamentally, perhaps the most significant Star Number with regard to Bible Numerics is the Israel Star. As above Israel - יִשְׂרָאֵל in Hebrew Gematria has the value of 541 and as the List of Star Numbers above shows, this is the 10^th Star Number S₁₀.

This is a star with 541 elements, as the following image shows:

Notably the ISRAEL STAR is comprised of 37 Rows, which is God's personal number —as discussed elsewhere— because God is 3 persons and has a 7-fold Spiritual nature, as revealed in Isaiah 11:2:

² And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Isaiah 11:2

 This Star is also a match to the 37^th Triangle T₃₇ that represents God's numbers (3 and 7) with 37 rows and 703 elements. 

Amazingly, with regard to the number 541, I have shown it to be formed by God in connection with the Hebrew Gematria values of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Nation of ISRAEL itself (click here for further information on this in my previous article: The God who Declares the End from the Beginning):

182 (Jacob) + 307 (Rebekah) + 26 (God's Word to Rebekah) + 26 (God's encounter with Jacob) = 541

Isaac (208) + Rebekah (307) + YHVH (26) = 541

Sarah (505) + Leah (36) = 541

333 (Divinity of God) + 208 (Isaac) = 541

Then, we see other numerical connections —that can only come about by the hand of an All-Powerful God, who is in all and over all— by looking at Israel's unique history.

Essentially, we have ISRAEL that was founded at Mount Sinai, when the people agreed to be obedient to the Commands of God and entered into the Covenant —originally established with Abraham— when Moses sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice over them:

³ And Moses came and told the people -- all the words of the LORD, and -- all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. ⁴ And Moses wrote -- all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵ And he sent -- young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.   ⁶ And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. ⁷ And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. ⁸ And Moses took -- the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. Exodus 24:3-8

Then Moses was given these Commandments in StoneTablets:

¹² Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.” Exodus 24:12

and

¹³ These are the commandments and the judgments which the LORD commanded the children of Israel by the hand of Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. Numbers 36:13

Incredibly, the word in the text for Commandments in Numbers 36:13 is הַמִּצְוֹ֞ת, which has the Hebrew Gematria Value of 541

Then in Deuteronomy when Moses was reviewing all of this in front of all of the people of Israel, in verse 22 (the symbolic number of Israel) he recorded how he had written them on Tablets of Stone:

²² “These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. Deuteronomy 5:22

The words in the text for Tablets of Stone or Stone Tablets לֻחֹ֣ת אֲבָנִ֔ים in Deuteronomy 5:22, in Hebrew Gematria again has the value of 541

Seriously, what would the odds be of the Nation of Israel (541) being formed and entering a Covenant with God to keep His Commandments (541), that were written onto Stone Tablets (541), all being connected to the number 541 by chance, and then this number of elements perfectly forming a 37-row Star of David, known to mathematicians as a figurate number.

It is truly stunning how God continually weaves every aspect of His revelation to humanity together to reveal the deeper understandings of the Truth and to reveal that He is in complete control of History, and so can be 100% Trusted with our lives.

Then if this is not enough, God declared in Exodus 12:17 that the Feast of Unleavened Bread was to be a permanent statute to commemorate the exact day God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, to create His covenant people and establish them as the Nation of Israel and give them the Laws and Commandments carved in Stone:

¹⁷ So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. Exodus 12:17

God repeats this commandment in Exodus 23:15

⁵ You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty); Exodus 23:15

Notably this Feast ties all of these themes —that are related to the Covenant People (ISRAEL), who gave an Oath to keep the Commands that were recorded on Stone Tablets by the Finger of God— together.

It is a national commemoration about being freed from slavery and sin, and the word used for this Feast of Unleavened Bread - הַמַּצּוֹת֮ in Hebrew Gematria again carries the value of 541.

To understand how the example of our 28^th Star Number is formed, please see the steps in the Graphic below:

This is so prophetic, it is stunning because the number 28 that forms the 28^th Star Number S₂₈, that represents Jesus (Israel + Alpha and Omega) biblically, has some very revealing connections. 

Firstly, Matthew's Gospel presents the Genealogy of Jesus in groups of 14 to connect Jesus to King David. One of the main Messianic Titles of Jesus is actually the Son of David, to show Jesus as the one who will rule and reign on the Throne, that began with King David:

¹⁷ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Matthew 1:17

So, there were 14 generations from David to the Exile in Babylon and 14 generations from the Exile in Babylon to Jesus, for a total:

 28 generations

It was actually because of this connection to King David that God's people were meant to recognize the COMING of JESUS as their MESSIAH, which in Greek is called Χριστός, and in English is CHRIST. 

Secondly, there is an amazing connection between the number 28 and Time itself, with Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3 declaring that Time can be divided into 28 seasons or appointed times:

​¹ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:                 
² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
⁸ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
⁹ What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? ¹⁰ I have seen -- the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. ¹¹ He hath made -- every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set -- the world in their heart, so that no man can -- find out -- the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 
¹² I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. ¹³ And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. ¹⁴ I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. ¹⁵ That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth -- that which is past. Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

Intriguingly, the last three times out of the 28 listed in the passage are:

the 26^th - a time to hate - שְׂנֹ֔א

the 27^th  - a time of war - מִלְחָמָ֖ה

the 28^th - and a time of peace - שָׁלֽוֹם׃

And each of these seem to match the impending End Time events.

Starting with the Hebrew word for the Time of Hate (שְׂנֹ֔א) we find that it is not a general word for hate, rather it is a verb that means to hate God or persons; noting that it also used in the following context in Exodus where God punishes children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Him, but He shows kindness instead of punishment to those who love (’āhaḇ) Him (Exodus 20:5):

⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and -- fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus 20:5

This Juxtaposition of Hate and Love with people hating God and God punishing them while showing kindness to those who love Him seems to align with the Start of the Tribulation, that will see God pouring out His wrath against those that hate Him, while Rapturing those that love Him.

Similarly, this is followed by a Time of War (מִלְחָמָ֖ה), which could be a hidden reference to the Ezekiel 38 Gog / Magog war, that may be triggered by the Rapture. And finally, the Time of Peace (שָׁלֽוֹם׃) could be the Peace that follows Ezekiel 38s war, that may result in the signing of the Covenant of Peace by the Antichrist with Israel.

So, all of this could be a hidden clue to the sequence of the End time events, in connection with the numbers 26; 27 and 28, that could be pointers to 2026; 2027; and 2028. Essentially, the number 28, that was literally connected to the Coming of Jesus (as the Jewish Messiah in His Incarnation), could be again part of a timing clue. 

Amazingly, in this regard, considering a Triangular number again, we find that the 28^th Triangle T₂₈ is mathematically connected to the Star of David —the official emblem of the Nation of Israel— with two overlapping 28^th Triangles T₂₈ actually forming the Star with its 541 elements, as the following image on the left shows:

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

The Timing Clue?

As I showed in my Last Article (click here to read it) the Hebrew Gematria of Jesus / Yeshua in Hebrew is 386 and because JESUS is shown in scripture to be the fulfilment of ISRAEL, that is numerically represented in Hebrew Gematria by the number 541, we are really awaiting a numerical transition for Jesus from 386 to 541, that will represent the time when:

All Israel will be Saved

Since 541 - 386 = 155, we are looking for a period of 155 in the lead up to this event. 

Importantly we also need a starting point, that is connected to Jesus, that can begin what will effectively be a 155-year count down. To this end, as I also showed in my last article, we need to consider how Jesus was the Scarlet Thread of Hope for all of Israel —noting that the main word for Hope in Hebrew is תִּקְוָה (ṯiqvâ), which is an actual object, a rope, not just wishful thinking— that connected Rahab in Jericho to the Cross and that then extended all the way through to the establishment of first modern Jewish Community in the Promised Land in 1878. This was when some Jews, seeking to fulfil Hosea 2:15, established the community Petah Tikvah - תִּקְוָה פֶּתַח (that in Hebrew means Door of Hope) as close as they could to the Valley of Achor:

¹⁵ I will give her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, as in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. Hosea 2:15

This was an end time prophecy fulfilled in 1878 (noting that this is an incredibly significant number because the entire Diaspora of the Jews that began in AD 70 lasted for exactly 1,878 years before ending in 1948). That such an important period can literally be defined with the same numbers as associated with the reestablishment of a Jewish Community, who clearly had no idea that 70 years into the future the nation would be reborn, cannot be a coincidence. Rather it was the hand of God upon His people, whom He prophesied would return the second time (Babylon being the first). As such, I believe it was a fulfilment of the first part of the Fig Tree Prophecy, that stated:

³² “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³ So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! ³⁴ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:32-35

Here there is a two-phase fulfilment with the first phase being when its "...branch has already become tender...". The second phase is described as being when it "...puts forth leaves...". This is the visible part of the Fig Tree’s growth and so prophetically this happened exactly a 70 years later in 1948 - like a replay of the restoration after the BABYLONIAN Exile - remembering that as Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, said…” there is nothing new under the Sun”.

Together these two events laid the foundation for the final fulfilment of the Fig Tree Prophecy, that given its connection to the Alpha and Omega —through the Star Number 28 – that is itself connected to the number 78, could occur as follows:

1948 + 78 = 2026 

NOTE: The importance of this possibility will be discussed further below, when I expand even further upon the significance of the number 78 than I have already.

However, in what I believe is a double confirmation, Petah Tikvah can be understood as the founding event (by Jesus as the Door of Hope) that opens a 155 year (541 - 386) transitional period, that is connected to the 28^th Triangles that form the Israel Star, and that will see Jesus / Yeshua (386) come into His fullness when all of Israel (541) is saved:

1878 + 155 = 2033

Then, if this is the time of the Second Coming, in line with the time when ALL ISRAEL IS SAVED, that both prophetically and spiritually completes the Fig Tree then:

2033 (Second Coming) - 7 (Tribulation) = 2026 (Rapture)

Essentially, God could be pointing to another Appointed Time - possibly (if Jesus does not delay), as part of the fulfilment of the Fig Tree Prophecy. However, while I am only looking at the patterns and am not stating categorically that it is going to happen this way, the fact that these timelines keep coming up, it is a warning to people not to allow the world to creep into their Lives.

As Jesus said in Luke, in regard to the other signs that are happening in the world, we are to maintain lives of holiness and to look up in faith:

²⁸ Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28

There is no doubt that the world around us is growing increasingly restless. Shadows deepen around all of our institutions, and foundations are being shaken. Yet while uncertainty grips the hearts of many, and the signs of the times begin to unfold, Jesus does not call His people to panic, hide, or succumb to despair. He gives a radically different command: Stand up and lift up your heads.

Thus, importantly, the chaos of this world is not a signal of defeat. It is the announcement that our ultimate deliverance is on the horizon

THE KING IS COMING

and our full redemption is closer today than it was yesterday.

Understanding Isaiah -God's Road Map to the End

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

With that said we will now turn our attention to the 23^rd Book of the Bible (Isaiah) recorded by the man whose name Isaiah - יְשַׁעְיָה in Hebrew has a numeric value of 391, that is a multiply of 23 being 23 x 17, where 23 relates to both judgement and salvation and 17 points to the new Resurrection life of the believer, being the day the Jesus rose from the Dead. It is the book that I believe the numbers and Jesus were pointing when He quoted from the 22^nd Psalm, that also highlighted the 23^rd and 24^th Psalms. Essentially, they revealed Jesus —Israel's Suffering Servant (22)— as both our Shepherd (23) and the COMING King of Glory (24) respectively.

Isaiah is a fascinating book that has often been called a mini-bible because it has 66 chapters, that have in many ways been shown to actually mirror the Bible itself, that in its final form has 66 books. The following table is just one small representation of that idea.

[Table 7]: Parallels between Isaiah and the books of the Bible:

Importantly, in chapters 24 to 27, with numbers that match God's Numerical Roadmap to the End, there is a section that scholars refer to as Isaiah's Mini-Apocalypse or simply Isaiah's Apocalypse. Ultimately, this is where the numbers are leading us to, however, I firstly want to give a brief overview of the actual structure of Isaiah, so that we can see how this section naturally fits into it:

Most people would be familiar with the Traditional Two‑Part Division (1–39 / 40–66) where chapters 1-39 reflect the 39 books of the Old Testament and chapters 40-66 reflect the 27 books of the New Testament. Essentially, this division is thematic and historical and provides an initial overarching view of Isaiah, that is not based on any internal headings in the text. However, as we draw a little closer, we note that Isaiah, through his own superscriptions, marks out an internal Three‑Part Division (1 / 2–12 / 13–66), as follows:

A. Isaiah’s Vision — Chapter 1:1

Heading: “The vision of Isaiah…” A standalone prologue.

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Isaiah 1:1

B. Isaiah’s Word — Chapters 2:1–12:6

Heading: “The word that Isaiah… saw” A tightly unified theological overture.

¹ The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:1

C. Isaiah’s Burden — Chapters 13:1–66:24

Heading: “The burden against Babylon…” This heading introduces the long chain of “burdens” (מַשָּׂא) against nations:

¹ The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. Isaiah 13:1

This division is literary, based on the book’s own internal markers, and notably the largest section, the “Burden” section (13–66) contains the traditional 40–66 division inside it, such that:

• Chapters 13–39 are the first half of the Burden section.

• Chapters 40–66 are the second half of the Burden section.

So, the three‑part structure is nested inside the two‑part structure, which gives us the following general structure:

Importantly, the “Burden” section is not equal to “Judgment only”, it is a literary label, not a thematic one. This matters theologically because the internal structure shows Isaiah’s own editorial design:

• Isaiah 1 is the courtroom.
• Isaiah 2–12 is the overture: Zion, Immanuel, remnant.
• Isaiah 13–66 is the unfolding of God’s dealings with the nations and Israel across history.

And then the traditional 1–39 / 40–66 division shows the prophetic arc:

• Judgment → Comfort
• Assyria → Babylon → New Creation
• Immanuel → Servant → Redeemer → Glory

Both structures are true — they simply operate at different levels.

Where Isaiah 24–27 sits in the traditional structure (1–39 / 40–66)

Isaiah 24–27 are the chapters that set the stage for the climax of the “judgment” half (1–39).

The first half of Isaiah (1–39) moves like this:

• 1–12 — Immanuel, Assyria, Zion themes
• 13–23 — Oracles against the nations
• 24–27 — Cosmic judgment and resurrection
• 28–39 — Woes, Assyria, Hezekiah narrative

So, in the traditional structure:

Isaiah 24–27 is the “Day of the LORD” apex of the judgment section.

It is the moment where Isaiah’s local prophecies suddenly telescope into global eschatology.

This is why scholars call it:

• Isaiah’s Mini-Apocalypse or just Isaiah’s Apocalypse
• The Little Revelation
• The Day of the LORD section

It is actually the high point of Isaiah 1–39.

Where Isaiah 24–27 sits in the internal  structure (1 / 2–12 / 13–66

In the internal structure:

• Isaiah 1 — Vision
• Isaiah 2–12 — Word
• Isaiah 13–66 — Burden

Isaiah 24–27 sits inside the Burden section, which begins at chapter 13.

But here is the key:

Isaiah 24–27 is the turning point inside the Burden section.

The Burden section (13–66) has two movements:

Burden A — 13–23

Oracles against specific nations.

Burden B — 24–66

Universal judgment → salvation → new creation.

So, Isaiah 24–27 is literally the BRIDGE between these two movements. It takes the “burdens” against individual nations (Babylon, Moab, Egypt, Tyre) and expands them into the burden against the whole earth. This is why Isaiah 24 begins with:

“Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty…”

It is the globalization of the earlier national oracles.

Therefore, in the internal structure, Isaiah 24–27 is the pivot where the Burden section shifts from the national to cosmic. In this way Isaiah 24–27 parallels the Day of the LORD and contains every major motif of it:

Cosmic collapse (24:19–23)

• Sun and moon ashamed (24:23)
• Universal judgment (24:1–6)
• Resurrection (“Your dead shall live,” 26:19)
• Leviathan defeated (27:1)
• The great trumpet (27:13)
• The gathered remnant (27:12–13)

These themes match:

• Joel 2–3
• Zephaniah 1
• Ezekiel 38–39
• Matthew 24
• Revelation 6–20

Ultimately, this is why scholars also call it “Isaiah’s mini‑Revelation.”

Essentially, In the traditional structure (1–39 / 40–66), Isaiah 24–27 is the climax of the judgment half, and in the internal structure (1 / 2 – 12 / 13 – 66), it is the pivot inside the Burden section, shifting from national to cosmic. In this way, Isaiah 24–27 is the eschatological hinge of the entire book. It is the moment where:

• the first half (judgment) reaches its peak,
• the Burden section transitions from nations to the whole earth,
• the Day of the LORD theme becomes explicit,
• the New Creation themes begin (which will blossom in 40–66).

As such, Isaiah 24–27 is the BRIDGE between:

Assyria → Babylon → Final Judgment → New Creation

It is the theological center Rebellion and Redemption, that first began in the Garden.

Importantly, in Isaiah 28–39, the section that follows these four chapters [24,25,26,27] we see that it is not a “return” to local history — it is the application of the global Day‑of‑the‑LORD themes to Judah’s present crisis. And importantly, with regard to the numbers, it can actually be broken down even further as:

28–33

Response to Messiah → 28 = Jesus enters history → 33 = Jesus dies for sin

34–35

Judgment → New Creation → 34 = transition → 35 = redeemed highway

36 -39

Return to Burdens that require a response.

Essentially, while Isaiah 24–27 lifts the reader into cosmic judgment and final salvation, Isaiah 28–39 then shows how Judah’s current choices participate in that cosmic drama. It is the BRIDGE between the global future (24–27) and the local present (28–39). Isaiah is essentially saying: 

 “The Day of the LORD is coming - and your decisions now determine how you will stand in that day.”

This is why chapters 28–39 belong after the apocalypse section and hopefully explains why such an important section —that as will be seen, deals with events related to the end-times, including the Rapture and the Tribulation— are seemingly just buried in the middle of the text of Isaiah. Essentially, its placement there is precisely the point because God who is merciful always sends a warning before Judgement comes because He wants no one to be lost, but in the end, when He reaches His limit of striving, that we have seen is connected with the number 23, then the day of reckoning arrives.

This is the whole reason that the number 24 starts the apocalyptic section of Isaiah 24-27, in line with our numbers. For 24 is a multiple of 12, the number of God’s people, and it begins with a call to follow Him before Judgement comes:

• 12 tribes
• 12 apostles / disciples 
• 24 elders

Notably, as will be seen later, the numbers also explain why the section following Isaiah's Apocalpyse begins with chapter number 28, for as will be dealt with later in greater detail, the Gospel of Matthew goes to considerable effort to show Jesus as the 28^th generation from Abraham, to whom all the covenant promises were given. Then Jesus dies at 33, which closes the parallel section defined by chapter 28 to 33 of Isaiah that point to the LORD as our King and Messiah, who seeks to save us. He is the one that is seeking a response of faith from us to follow Him. Then the next section 34 - 35 begins with 34 that is 17 x 2, pointing to the day that Jesus would be resurrected on the 17^th of Nisan, three Days and Nights after the 14^th Nisan (Passover).

Then following the final burden section that culminates with chapter 39 (that parallels the closing of the Old Covenant / Old Testament), the fulfill of the Law of Sin and Death, we see the transition to the Comfort and Restoration in chapter 40 that symbolically shows that the time of the Wilderness Wandering; Testing and Trials has come to a close, and we are now transitioning to the New Covenant Promises. Ultimately, this period also ends with the defeat of Sin and Rebellion, as represented by the number of the final chapter - 66. This number is the ultimate climax of the book for 6 x 11 = 66, which is the defeat of the 11^th horn of Daniel - the Antichrist. As such, it leads to Daniel's 70^th Week, when Sin and Death and Tears and Pain will be no more because as Daniel 24 states:

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Daniel 9:24

With regard to all of these numbers, it is notable that their theological theme is consistent throughout the Bible, and the number 24, that begins the Apocalyptic section of ISAIAH, is all about determining who wants to belong to God's Kingdom —just as was symbolized by the remnant of believers within the 12 tribes of Israel, from which were formed the 12 apostles of Jesus, all of whom laid the foundation of 24 (12 + 12) elders in Heaven.

This is the heart of the message in the prophetic Psalms in Psalm 24:

​¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
² For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
³ Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
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.
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.
⁹ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
¹⁰ Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. Psalms 24

Essentially, it is framed within two questions in verse 3 that are asking:

Question 1: who may approach (ascend) God —remembering that this approach was symbolically covered by the High Priest who sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice (a pointer to Jesus) upon the front (east side) of the Mercy Seat and seven times before it, as seen in Leviticus 16:14.

Question 2: — and who is acceptable to be (stand) in His presence —again this is covered by the blood on the actual Mercy Seat itself, which as we saw above, was actually Jesus.

So being in Jesus is ultimately the solution to these two questions

³ Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? Psalms 24:3

However, God frames this solution in another way, in verse 4, by describing the one who can approach and stand with God in His Holy Place as:

⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. Psalms 24:4

Here in Jewish parallelism, we have a two-part response that matches the meaning of Jesus' words, when He states that the entire law depends upon two key commands: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself.

The 'clean hands' relate to our horizontal relationships in the world to love our neighbor as ourselves, such that you have not lifted up your soul (mind will and emotions) —that affect all of your actions towards others, including those of your hands— to an idol; and having a 'pure heart' is about your vertical relationship with the one true God, who you are not to swear to deceitfully, but are to love with all of your heart.

Notably, swearing is the same as giving an oath, and every covenant of God with believers is founded upon Him giving His oath to do something for believers. Importantly, to establish His covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, God commanded him to cut sacrificial animals in half, arranging the pieces to form a bloody pathway. In ancient Near Eastern culture, this layout served to seal a binding legal oath, a concept deeply rooted in the Hebrew language, where the root word for "seven" (sheva) is identical to the root word for "oath" (shava). So, making a covenant was literally known as "sevening oneself", even if it didn’t always explicitly involve the use of 7 creatures. It was a term representing complete, seven-fold spiritual perfection and binding truth.

Crucially, this covenant with Abraham was unconditional and so he was put into a deep sleep, and God alone passed through the severed carcasses, as a smoking firepot and a blazing torch, representing His holy presence and absolute justice. By walking this path alone, God took the entire penalty of covenant failure (our failure) upon Himself, guaranteeing the promise through His own life. This stunning act directly foreshadows the crucifixion of Jesus, where God ultimately fulfilled this self-curse. On the cross, Jesus bore the broken body, spilled blood, and divine wrath on behalf of humanity, transforming an ancient ritual of judgment into the ultimate, "sevened" sacrifice of perfect grace.

Essentially while Genesis 15 , in relation to the establishment of the Covenant, only specifically mentions the Land, it is important to understand its context, for the Land Preserved the Seed. By God swearing an unconditional oath in Genesis 15 to give Israel the land, this preserved the nation and the holy line until the "One Seed" (Jesus) could come. In this way, it formed an explicit link to the overarching Abrahamic covenant introduced in Genesis 12:3, where it states: "in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed". Then later, in Genesis 22:18, God confirms this under oath (a form of 7): "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed."

So ultimately, in Psalm 24, not swearing deceitfully to God was akin to entering into Covenant Relationship with the one who sacrificially paid the entire penalty for our Sin, —remembering also that as Revelation 13:8 states, Jesus as the Lamb of God was slain from the Foundation of the World, it is just that He later revealed it fully to Abraham, who as Abram was the exalted father who became Abraham the father of many nations, when he entered into the covenant with God — and the one who is truly doing both of these things is the one who is truly in Christ; and as the next verse states, he is the one that will receive blessing, righteousness and salvation from the LORD:

⁵ He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. Psalms 24:4

Ultimately, this is the decision that everyone needs to make, which is why God frames it in the context of the generation of Jacob (all fallen people who are deceivers and supplanters of God with themselves, due to Pride) before they like Jacob become part of Israel, such that Paul would later state that in the end ALL ISRAEL will be saved, which is simply all true believers who are in Christ, for JESUS is the fulfilment of ISRAEL.

⁶ This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Psalms 24:6

Significantly this two-fold understanding of the Law helps us to understand the Scroll in Zechariah 5, that was written on its two sides:

​¹ Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll. ² And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.” ³ Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.” ⁴ “I will send out the curse,” says the LORD of hosts; “It shall enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house and consume it, with its timber and stones.” Zechariah 5:1-4

Here one side relates to having clean hands and not being a thief, for our actions towards our neighbor can both steal or withhold a blessing from them, and the other side is about not swearing falsely in God's name, but having a genuine relationship based upon truth and love. Ultimately, the fact that the dimensions of the Scroll, given as twenty cubits by 10 cubits, that precisely match those of Solomon's Porch, on the front of the Temple, where the Law of God was adjudicated, shows this Scroll’s connection to the Law. 

Seeing this connection then helps us to understand what the actual Scroll in Revelation all is about. It is not a title deed of the earth, as some would suggest, for as Psalm 24 also states in verse 1, the earth is already the LORD's, it is not something that He has to take back:

​¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. Psalms 24:1

As a copy of the Law of God, that like the Scroll of Zechariah goes out to all the earth to bring judgment, Revelation’s 7 sealed (covenant) Scroll is also a copy of the Law (Testimony) that in ancient Israel was given to a King at his coronation, as shown in 2 Kings 11:

¹² And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the Testimony; they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!” 2 Kings 11:12

In this way, Revelation 5 is really describing the coronation of Jesus as King of Kings, following His death, burial, resurrection and ascension, where Jesus' Disciples had watched Jesus, the Son of Man (Jesus favorite title for Himself in the Gospels) ascend on a Cloud towards heaven:

⁹ Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11

It is a direct link to Daniel 7, for there is no other 'Son of Man' that is given an everlasting dominion, that all peoples, nations and languages should serve Him:

¹³ “I was watching in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. ¹⁴ Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

and then like in 2 Kings 12, Jesus is given a two-sided Scroll - one written on both sides that is a copy of the Law, that is also known as the Testimony in the Old Testament:

​¹ And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. ² Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” ³ And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. ⁴ So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. ⁵ But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” ⁶ And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷ Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:1-7

As this Scroll is unsealed, the judgments that it contains, like the Scroll and Judgements in Zechariah 5, are unleashed upon the earth.

24 -The Completion of the First Triad 

Importantly the completion of the first Triad [22,23,24] that sums to 69 (22+23+24=69), once the number 24 was added to it, brought the world to a point of Transition. It was the beginning of the expectation that the King of Glory is coming, as stated by Psalm 24:

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. ⁹ Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. ¹⁰ Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Psalms 24:7-10

And as evidenced by both Paul's reference to the Blessed Hope, that all believers have from the time of Jesus' Ascension, that Jesus would be coming back:

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

Even the whole letter of 2 Thessalonians was written, in line with this expectation, to convince the new believers in Thessalonica who had thought that they had missed the Rapture (being caught up in Greek - ἁρπάζω - Harpadzo), and had been plunged into the Tribulation, that this was actually not the case. For while in their minds Jesus could have come back in their day, Paul reminded them that there were actually two things yet to happen, in the Removal of the Restrainer and the Revealing of the Antichrist:

⁵ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? ⁶ And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8

Additionally, this was a time when the Gospel was destined to reach the ends of the Earth, allowing each individual to choose their eternal fate, as depicted in Psalm 24.  Thus, the number 24 served a dual prophetic function: it marked the completion of the 69^th week of Daniel, with Jesus the Messiah being cut off on the Cross, while simultaneously heralding the Call of the Gospel that would resonate for the next two thousand years. This period fostered a profound expectation of Jesus's return—highlighting that for there to be a bride, a bridegroom must first exist, and 24 was integral to both dimensions.  Ultimately, this significance arose from the fact that as a multiple of 12, it represented the fulfillment of the 'Seed of the Woman' prophecy' first articulated in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). This prophecy foretold Jesus, as the 'Seed of the Woman' (12), coming to vanquish Satan (crushing his head) before establishing His own Kingdom.

Thus, the number 24, that for the end-times was launched at the Cross, was from that time onward, about seeing who would be able to ascend the Hill of the LORD and stand in His Holy Place, with each individual being given the opportunity to choose their eternal destiny. This is why Jesus referred to Himself as the Stone that the builders rejected:

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?  ⁴³ Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. ⁴⁴ And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Matthew 21:42-44

Essentially Jesus was and is the Stumbling Stone and a Rock of Offence, first mentioned in Isaiah 8:14:

"He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem." Isaiah 8:14

Here Isaiah was saying that to "fall on the stone" in humility brings the brokenness and repentance that leads to being born again, but to resist the stone means it will eventually fall on the disobedient in final judgment.

Then later, speaking about Himself, Jesus explicitly warned the religious leaders of His day that rejecting Him would lead to catastrophic spiritual ruin, using the stone imagery against them:

⁴² Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Matthew 21:42

and

⁴⁴ And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44

So, one's spiritual destiny is always tied to whether you accept and believe in Jesus, as Paul explains in Romans 9: 

"For they stumbled at that stumblingstone. As it is written: 'Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.'" Romans 9:32-33

Basically, Paul was saying that God's people had stumbled because they tried to earn their salvation through works and the law, whereas Jesus required them to submit to salvation by faith alone.

24's Special Significance - Day & Night - Light & Dark - Christs Victory

Clearly there appears to be vastly more related to 24 within the Numerical Key than the other numbers, for we are also yet to examine this number in relation to Isaiah 24. In part this comes about because numerically it is both the number that completes the 69^th week, as the final number of the first Triad [22, 23, 24] that ushers in the Age of Grace, the Church Age, and then it is the first number of Isaiah's Mini-Apocalypse that transitions us to Daniel's 70th Week. So, from the Cross to the Tribulation, the number 24 is at the center of God's activities.

I believe this is because it is also reflecting God's heart, for His focus is to dwell with people made in His image within His Creation. So from the very moment He revealed that He, as the Light of the World (that was first revealed in the Creation - the first 4 Days before the sun was created), through the Seed of the Woman (that is connected to the number 12), would defeat the Darkness, He began to build the body of Christ in whom all believers, from all-time, would eventually be hidden by 'His Mercy' (an important theme to be dealt with later) that is Christ. 

In large part, this is why He established His Creation in cycles of 24 hours, that are comprised symbolically of 12 hours of Light and 12 hours of Darkness representing Good and Evil, Righteousness and Wickedness. It is then why He placed a boundary between Light and Darkness, as noted earlier in Job 26:10, by inscribing a Circle on the Face of the Deep, establishing the mathematical constant of Pi π that reveals Jesus Christ. Even creation defined the beginning of Redemption before Man even existed. In this way 24 represents both the spiritual battle itself and those who will have victory over the darkness. Ultimately, it is God's victory achieved through Jesus, but through Grace and Mercy it is applied to all who will Repent (turn back to God seeking 'His Mercy') and believe (put their faith in the finished work of the Cross).

Importantly, it all flows through Jesus, who is the Seed of the Woman, who is represented by the number 12, that is the age a girl becomes a woman in Israel, at her Bat Mitzvah. This is why scripture records Jesus' words about being about His Father's business at the age of 12:

⁴¹ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. ⁴² And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. ⁴³ When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; ⁴⁴ but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. ⁴⁵ So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. ⁴⁶ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. ⁴⁷ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. ⁴⁸ So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
⁴⁹ And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” ⁵⁰ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. Luke 2:41-50

Interestingly, this was stated in the context of the Feast of the Passover, which is all about the how Jesus, as the Seed of the Woman crushes the Head of the Serpent, as prophesied in Genesis 3:15. Also it was only after 3 days that Jesus was found, which prophetically seems to speak to the third day of Hosea 6:2, when Jesus will again revive His people and ALL ISRAEL will be saved, so that they can live in His sight.

This connection to 12 is also why God established 12 Tribes of Israel and 12 Disciples / Apostles to initially take the Gospel to the World and why the Apostle John saw 24 elders (12 x 2) in his vision of God's Throne Room.

Literally, the number 12 defines the Battle of Good and Evil and the number 24 defines the victory won. This as previously mentioned then becomes the foundation for establishing God's presence amongst His people in connection with the number 48 (24 x 2) when Moses was instructed to build the Holy of Holies that would house the manifest presence of God above the Ark of the Covenant, out of 48 boards. 

Therefore since 24 is ultimately about the victory, symbolized by the 12 hours of light defeating the 12 hours of darkness to bring a new Day, the 8th Day that will never end, the number 24 at least symbolically (if not mathematically) will be swallowed in the new Creation that is centered on the new Jerusalem, where the focus is on multiples of 12 to point to the final fulfilment of the Seed of the Woman - with the new Jerusalem coming down from Heaven as a Bride adorned for her Husband:

¹ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ² And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:1-2

And here we see the new space created by God for those who love Him, all being described in relation to the number 12 representing Jesus' victory over Sin and Death - the victory of the Light (12) over the Darkness (12), achieved by Jesus as the Seed of the Woman in the Day (24) of the LORD:

⁹ Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. ¹² It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— ¹³ on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. ¹⁶ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. ¹⁸ The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. ²² And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. ²³ And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. ²⁴ By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, ²⁵ and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. ²⁶ They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. ²⁷ But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. ​¹ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ³ No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. ⁴ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 21:9 - 22:5

Then as the passage above also shows, in relation to this battle of Good over Evil, that was defined in terms of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness all in cycles of 24-hour days, this will lead us to a new day when time will be no more; for there will be no more darkness only light. At this point, the victory is already won and everything —including 12 gates; 12 angels; 12 tribes; 12 foundations; 12 names of 12 apostles; 12,000 Jewish Believers, 12,000 stadia dimensions; 12 precious stones; 12 x 12 (144) cubits of the wall; and12 fruits — will forever declare the victory of Jesus as the Seed of the Woman revealed from the beginning in Genesis 3:15. And notably the numbers in the reference mathematically equate to 3 x 15 = 45, which is the value of Adam that means "Man" and so hidden here is God's statement that the victory won by Jesus is for mankind.

Significantly all of this is pointed to by Jesus' cry on the Cross, as a fulfillment of the 22^nd Psalm, which directed us to the next significant number in Isaiah (23). This was then seen to correspond to the 23^rd book of the Bible, as it led us towards Isaiah's Mini-Apocalypse (chapters 24 to 27). Then ultimately this all points us to Jesus, the stumbling stone (24) which aligns with the 24^th Psalm, guiding individuals toward becoming part of the Bride of Christ, so that they can establish the victory of Jesus as the Seed of the Woman in their lives.

Isaiah Chapter 24

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

In this way, the number 24 is actually the pivot point of Redemption History from the Fall of Man, when the battle between the Light and the Darkness began. 

Given this general background for the number 24, I will now just briefly give some further context for it, as the first number in Isaiah's Mini-Apocalypse, by expounding further on the idea of the 'Stumbling Stone'. This is important for understanding what I believe is a Hidden Roadmap within the Book of Isaiah because of the sequence of events that it triggers.

For as shown above, the name of Isaiah means Salvation is of the LORD (Jehovah / Yehovah / Yahweh), which is a powerful reminder of what it is all about —in relation to Jesus, who is the stumbling stone— and how we respond to Him determines our destiny. Essentially, those that humble themselves will be saved, but those that resist Jesus will ultimately have the Stone fall on them in judgement, during the period the Bible calls the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble' a.k.a. "the Tribulation". It is a period that aligns with the Day of the Lord through three major themes:

• Universal Judgment and Ecological Devastation
• The Threefold Human Violation - otherwise known as the three woes, associated with the 5^th, 6^th , and 7^th Trumpets in Revelation.
• Cosmic Punishment and Divine Reign,

These themes all appear in the section we have been discussing, that scholars call Isaiah's "Mini-Apocalypse" or "Isaiah's Apocalypse", that spans from Isaiah chapter 24 through to chapter 27, which are the final 4 numbers of our Numerical Key of 6 [22, 23 ,24, 25 ,26, 27]. 

It follows the same order as Revelation [that is the translation of the Greek word ἀποκάλυψις (Apocalypse) that means Revelation]:

1. Global judgment
2. Cosmic collapse
3. Resurrection imagery
4. God’s final reign
5. Leviathan defeated
6. New Creation themes

This is end‑of‑history, not mid‑history.

Amazingly, this section literally begins and ends with the remaining numbers of our Numerical Key to the End [24,25,26,27] and you could not get a clearer statement of its connection to the end-times than the very first verse in this Section that begins with Isaiah chapter 24:

​¹ Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. Isaiah 24:1

It is a global judgment not a Word directed to God's people in Israel, and while the exact phrase "Day of the Lord" does not appear verbatim in this specific chapter, biblical scholars universally recognize it as a textbook description of that event. Essentially Isaiah signals this connection by using the shorthand prophetic phrase "in that day" (Isaiah 24:21), which is used throughout the Old Testament to point directly to the DAY OF THE LORD.

In that Day, social status offers zero protection. Priest and citizen, master and servant, buyer and seller all face the exact same divine accountability. All people who are not protected by God will be equal:

² And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. Isaiah 24:2

The utter devastation, that will occur on a global scale, due to God's Wrath against the wicked becomes clear:

³ The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken -- this word. ⁴ The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. ⁵ The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Isaiah 24:3-5

In declaring these things ISAIAH is literally establishing God's Roadmap to the End by pointing to the coming Tribulation.  However, as later verses in this Mini-Apocalypse show, there is still hope, for this time will be preceded by the Rapture. Paul in Titus 2:13 calls it the Blessed Hope and together these two events begin and define the period of Time that the Old Testament defines as the Day of the LORD.

Ultimately, the 24^th Chapter of Isaiah is functioning in the same way as described generally about the number 24 above, in that it takes us from the Cross where mankind's Sin was judged, in line with the 69^th week of Daniel, to the beginning of the Day of the LORD, when like 1 Thessalonians describes, it will be a time when the world is talking about Peace and Safety, but instead sudden destruction will come upon it:

³ For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Interestingly, the numbers of this reference, which is describing the events that will occur simultaneously with the Rapture, involve 153, the number of God's greatest salvation prophecy. Importantly, the text of Isaiah 24 details both judgement and salvation with verses 14-16 highlighting the voices of a righteous remnant:

¹⁴ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; For the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.¹⁵ Therefore glorify the LORD in the dawning light, The name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I said, “I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! Isaiah 24:14-16

Ultimately, verse 16 shifts from the praises of the righteous remnant, in distant lands, to a declaration of Woe as God's judgements affect those who have not been walking with Him. This section then concludes with verse 23, that describes a time beyond the Millenium, in the 8^th Day, when God has created a new Heaven and Earth and there will no longer be any need for the Sun and the Moon, for God's glory will fill the earth:

²³ Then the moon will be disgraced and the sun ashamed; For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before His elders, gloriously. Isaiah 24:23

This is not merely humiliation of celestial bodies — it is replacement. The sun and moon are “ashamed” because their light is outshone by the glory of God. This is the same prophetic pattern seen in:

• Isaiah 60:19–20 — “The sun shall no longer be your light by day… the Lord will be your everlasting light.”
• Isaiah 30:26 — “The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun… the light of the sun sevenfold.”

In this way, Isaiah is building a consistent theme: When God’s glory is fully manifest, created lights fade into insignificance. 

Revelation picks up Isaiah’s imagery and makes it explicit:

While Isaiah uses cosmic humiliation language, John uses architectural illumination language, but both describe the same final state of creation. Additionally, Isaiah also mentions “Mount Zion and Jerusalem”, but he is not talking about the old Jerusalem, rather the eschatological Zion — the final dwelling place of God.

Since Isaiah 24–27 is a mini‑apocalypse (“Isaiah’s Little Revelation”), its climax involves:

• God reigning visibly
• His glory replacing natural light
• His people gathered
• Creation renewed
• Evil defeated (Isaiah 27:1)

This sequence mirrors that found in Revelation.

Thus, in Isaiah’s development of a Prophetic Arc in chapter 24, which spans from the onset of the Tribulation to the creation of the New Heaven and Earth, it establishes a robust foundation for the subsequent content in chapters 25-27.

These following chapters notably correspond to the second triad [25, 26, 27] of our Numerical Key to the End, which remarkably sums to 78 (25 + 26 + 27 = 78). And as previously discussed, 78 signifies an appointed time (consider also 1878 - click here for further information) and occupies the center of all things.

Its purpose is to overcome the darkness symbolized by the doubling of 666 in 66 + 66 + 66 —as was seen within our 23^rd Triangle T₂₃ above— and its connections to Jesus, through its numerical association with the Alpha and Omega.

25 - The Opening of the Second Triad

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

If the number 24 marked the completion of the 69^th week of Daniel and extends into the 2,000 years of the Church Age, that we have experienced thus far, then the number 25—the first number of the second Triad [25, 26, 27]—clearly plays a role in bringing this very same Age of Grace to a close. This transition brings us to the threshold of witnessing the Blessed Hope that Paul spoke of come to fruition:

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ Titus 2:13

Significantly, the existence of Hope involves a period of waiting, for that which is hoped for, to come to pass. This is all consistent with the biblical meaning of the number 25 that is connected with God’s Promises, noting that Abraham, whose life was defined by promises was all based upon multiples of 25:

Abram called at 75 - 25 x 3
Abram given Covenant promises including a Promised Son at 75  - 25 x 3
Promised Son born when Abraham was 100 - 25 x 4
Abraham walked with God for another 75 years - 25 x 3
Abraham died, going home to be with the LORD at 175 - 25 x 7

Also 25 is a factor of the Jubilee Year (25 x 2 = 50) - it was a promised year that occurred every 50 years while in the Promised Land that was a time when everything Lost was restored to God's people.

And in Revelation 4 John describes in his vision of God's Throne Room in Heaven that there was not 1 Throne, but 25 - Gods Throne + 24 thrones (for the 24 Elders) = 25 thrones:

² Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. ³ And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. ⁴ Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. Revelation 4:2-4

This was a fulfilment of Jesus' promise in Revelation, about those who overcome, who will be able to rule and reign with Jesus:

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— ²⁷ ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’— as I also have received from My Father; Revelation 2:26-27

and

²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21

 Through the powerful concepts of Promises, Hope, and Waiting, we are journeying along God’s Roadmap to the End, during the Age of Grace. This path has brought us from the moment Jesus was revealed as the fulfillment of Israel (22) and the 69^th week of Daniel on the Cross, to the insights found in the book of Isaiah (23). Here, we discover a navigational link between the Psalms and Isaiah, guiding us towards the beginning of Isaiah’s Mini-Apocalypse (24).

This understanding lays the groundwork for recognizing that history is guiding us toward an encounter with God, encompassing both His judgment of the wicked and His rescue of those who have placed their faith in Him. Consequently, 24 focuses on building His church, a mission that will persist until Jesus returns. It involves discerning who desires to be part of the Bride of Christ—as Scripture reveals that the Groom will return to gather His Bride to Himself. This naturally leads us to 25, which represents the fulfillment of His promises currently centered around the Blessed Hope, that we are anticipating. In this process, we will also see the realization of His promise (25) regarding the preparation of a place for us in Heaven, as articulated in John 14:

¹ “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:1-3

Significantly, we see this connection between Promises and Waiting in another parallel between the Psalms and Isaiah in chapter 25 of both books. It is literally the next stop on God’s Roadmap, and it involves promises of Salvation, that are couched with waiting (in Hope):

³ Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. Psalms 25:3

and

⁵ Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. Psalms 25:5

and

²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Psalms 25:21

The Last verse in this chapter —in verse number (22) that is symbolic of Israel— is an overarching cry for essentially all of Israel to be redeemed out of all of their troubles: 

²² Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! Psalms 25:22

As such, it is a prophetic foretaste of Paul's own prophetic statement about Israel, given later in Romans 11:

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 11:26-27

Isaiah Chapter 25

Now, turning to Isaiah 25, we note the prophetic connection through the phrase "in that day" to how God's people have waited for Him and have prophetically declared that they will be glad and rejoice in His salvation:

⁹ And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” Isaiah 25:9

Essentially, Isaiah 25 is a hymn of praise that celebrates God’s ultimate victory over suffering, sin, and death. It emphasizes the rewards bestowed upon those who wait for Him with unwavering hope. This passage significantly outlines the Church Age, which spans the last 2,000 years—calculated as 25 x 8 (representing Jesus) x 10 (the fulfillment of the Law). Additionally, it speaks to future events, particularly in verse 8, which serves as a foretelling of the 8^th Day of Eternity and parallels Revelation 21:4 that anticipates what will occur at the end of time, following the Millennium and the Final Judgment—on the 7^th Day of history:

⁸ He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 25:8

As such, Isaiah 25 is a BRIDGE from the 69^th Week of Daniel / the Cross to the end of the Age of Grace, just prior to the Rapture and the Tribulation. It has been the time and path allotted in God's Roadmap to the End that has allowed for the Gospel to go out to the ends of the Earth.

A Possible Timing Clue?

Given that the first triad [22,23,24] brings us to the number 69, then beginning with the first number of the second triad [25,26,27] if we add 25 to 69, we get:

69 + 25 = 94

This can also be understood as:

47 x 2 = 94

Interestingly, I have written before about how God's Mirror numbers may also be leading us Home. The very first was in connection with Genesis 1:1, that has the numeric value of 2701, which is a product of God's personal numbers 3 and 7 - God is Triune (3) and has a 7-fold nature to His Spirit, as revealed in Isaiah 11:2 and Revelation chapters 4 and 5:

37 x 73 = 2701

Essentially, I showed that this number 2701, as the value of the 73^rd Triangle - T₇₃, could also be represented by 4 smaller triangles as follows:

3 @ 36^th Triangle (666) = 3 x 666 = 1998
1 @ 37^th Triangle (703) = 1 x 703 = 703

Total = 1998 + 703 = 2701

Significantly, this showed diagrammatically, 3 Triangles of 666 surrounding 1 Triangle (with God's numbers) of 703, which spoke of how God by Himself (703) was prophetically declaring victory over the enemy and Sin and Death, as represented by the 666.

Therefore, in the previous article, I also sought to investigate the number 47 because its mirror number 74 was the very next Triangle T₇₄ mathematically from the 73^rd Triangle of Genesis 1:1, which made it important, with regard to God's overarching message through mirror numbers.

Amazingly, as the following shows, it created a complete reversal of the 73^rd Triangle with:

3 @ 37^th Triangle (703) = 3 x 703 = 2,109
1 @ 36^th Triangle (666) = 1 x 666 = 666

Total = 2109 + 666 = 2775

See the reversal of the numbers in the images below:

In this intriguing reversal of the prophetic numbers, we focus on the significance of the number 25, which takes us from 69 to 94. This transition highlights a multiple of 47, closely linked to its mirror number 74. Here, we uncover God's Number (703), previously encircled by 666 (pictured in the 73^rd Triangle), now transformed into the triumphant message of Isaiah 25:8. This verse proclaims God's victory over Sin and Death, effectively surrounding and severing the influence of 666 (pictured in the 74^th Triangle), which symbolizes Satan's Kingdom of Darkness.

Notably the product of 47 and its mirror number is:

   47 x 74 = 3478

This number is significant in relation to the 73^rd Triangular value of 2701 connected with Genesis 1:1 because it is precisely 777 higher in value:

2701 (Gen 1:1) + 777 = 3478

This connection to 777 showed a progression of God's revelation that is leading us home. Notably the number 47 is connected to God's Promises and its mirror number 74, which is also God's Personal Number 37 multiplied by 2, reveals that it is all about God fulfilling His promises, such as when:

- the Israelites stood exactly 470 (47 x 10) years or 430 years to the day (Exodus 12:41) plus 40 years of wilderness wandering, after leaving Egypt, at the edge of the Jordan River, ready to enter the Promised Land
- and in the 47^th year of the 20^th Century, the United Nations voted in support of Israel becoming a nation again within the borders of the Promised Land.

So, with reference to our Triads, with the first one summing to 69 [22,23,24], and the addition of the first number (25) of the second Triad [25,26,27] of the Numerical Key of 6 numbers [22,23,24,25,26,27] —that are forming God's Roadmap to the End— taking us to 94, which is a multiple of 47 being 47 x 2, it seems relevant to note that:

1446 BC (Exodus from Egypt) + 3478 = 2033 - once adjusted for no year 0

As such, given that 1446 BC is a popular date for the Exodus of Israel, as a nation, then 2033 could possibly be a link to the time when All Israel will again be saved, including the nation, as Jesus returns at Armageddon. If so, then this would put the Rapture, that occurs 7 years earlier, sometime in 2026. 

Isaiah Chapter 26

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

Here things begin to tighten up for us because this chapter aligns with our Convergent Window, that I spoke about above, that I believe is a hidden connection to the year 2026, for it is only during the 10-year window from 2020 to 2029 that the Hebrew Calendar Years and the Gregorian Years have numbers that correlate. As above, this puts a spotlight on the current Hebrew Year that is 5786 for when the digits of 5786 are added together (5+7+8+6 = 26), the sum is 26, which corresponds to the current year and decade that we are in: 2026.

Additionally, I find it very significant that in continuing the Roadmap to the End, this next chapter that deals with the next number 26 in our Numerical Key, it includes one of the most explicit references to the Rapture, almost anywhere in the whole bible, in Isaiah 26:20-21:

²⁰ Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. ²¹ For behold, the LORD comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:20-21

This is absolutely stunning, for here in the Old Testament, centuries before the Mystery of the Church and the Rapture were revealed to the Apostle Paul, it references “Your chambers”—the sacred spaces of God’s people. In the context of Isaiah's Apocalypse, these can only be understood as the Bridal Chambers linked to the Jewish Wedding, that are situated in Heaven. Here, God’s people will find refuge for a time until the indignation (tribulation) on earth has passed.

As noted in John 14, these chambers are described as dwelling places or mansions, depending on the translation.

² In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:2-3

Regardless of the terminology, all these words convey the same essence of chambers. This context also sheds light on the purpose of the Tribulation: it represents God's Judgment (God's Wrath) upon those who have turned away from Him to embrace their own Iniquity. Furthermore, this period will mark a time when the wicked on earth can no longer conceal the blood of the innocents, that they have shed.

Importantly, the verse prior to these two also speaks about the Resurrection of the Dead:

¹⁹ Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. Isaiah 26:19

This clearly reflects Paul's later statement about the Rapture, where he says the Dead will rise first:

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:16

Timing Clues

In terms of timing there are other clues that would help us to understand that time is short.

For example, in the 26^th chapter of Isaiah we see that it contains 21 verses (verses 1-21) that arguably could be providing a foundation for the 6 numbers of our Numerical Key [22 - 27], a type of foreshadowing if you will of all that follows. That is, the numbers 22 to 27 sequentially follow on from 1 to 21 and when you get to 22, which is the symbolic number for Israel, it is about God establishing His Chosen People so that He can bring Salvation to the Earth and establish a Kingdom for His Son, the Messiah to rule from. Therefore, in the last days, the prophecies say He is going to bring His people back to the Land and they will never be exiled from it again. In this respect, there are a number of parallels with Israel's modern history, such as the fact that particularly since Oct 7^th, 2023, God has helped Israel to strengthen the security of their capital in Jerusalem, just as it suggests in the opening verses: 

​¹ In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. ² Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. ³ You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. 

Similarly, God has been laying low many of their enemies that have been a thorn in Israel's side for decades, with the diminishing power of all of Iran's proxies in HAMAS; Hezbollah; Houthis; Syria etc. In this respect, most scholars see the "lofty city" as an idealized, collective symbol of the "world-city" that houses those that have contempt for God's people:

⁴ Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. ⁵ For He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust. ⁶ The foot shall tread it down— The feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.” ⁷ The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, you weigh the path of the just. 

While Messianic Christianity in Israel is still on the fringes, there has been an increasing acceptance among Jews as numerous people there have had encounters with Jesus. Many are seeking the truth and being confronted with the Gospel in new and transforming ways. However, many others are simply seeking the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Either way, the war against HAMAS resulted in an increasing spirituality:

⁸ Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name and for the remembrance of You. ⁹ With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 

In the face of increasing Antisemitism, there is also a growing realization in Israel that only the LORD can truly establish peace for them:

¹⁰ Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. ¹¹ LORD, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed for their envy of people; Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. ¹² LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

God has also been giving Israel many amazing victories over its enemies, since 2023, particularly as it relates to Iran, with many of their leaders being killed:

¹³ O LORD our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name. ¹⁴ They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore, you have punished and destroyed them and made all their memory to perish. 

The Israeli Knesset and Israeli security cabinet have also advanced legal and administrative measures that expand civil, property, and enforcement control within what the world wants to designate as the "West Bank", which is really ancient Judea and Samaria. It has specifically targeted Area C and heritage sites. These actions include transferring land registration powers to the Ministry of Justice, lifting restrictions on land sales, and advancing bills for direct state control over archaeological locations, which critics describe as steps toward de facto annexation. However, it is clearly about taking control of areas that have historically belonged to Israel, as part of the Promised Land given to Abraham. Effectively, this is changing the borders of the nation, as determined by Western and Arab powers, which is something that is directly addressed in verse 15 - notably this occurs prior to the Rapture verses in 21 and 22:

¹⁵ You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land. ¹⁶ LORD, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them. 

Then in verse 17, Israel expresses sorrow over its failure to fulfill the prophetic destiny outlined since the days of Jacob and Joseph, and later reaffirmed under Moses. This nation was meant to be a Kingdom of Priests, tasked with bringing blessings to all nations. Instead, like a woman in labor, they have only given birth to emptiness, lacking justice and true blessings for the earth. Many, including online commentators such as Yishai Fleischer, have seen the changing fortunes of Israel, particularly with regard to their sometimes-volatile relationship with the US, under Donald Trump, as being sufficient justification to sever financial aid from this long-time supporter. He strongly believes that it can stand as a nation in its own right, more in line with the purpose that scripture designated was God's intention for it, on the world stage:

¹⁷ As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD. ¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 

This shows that there have been many parallels since 2023 that place the descriptors of this chapter right in the middle of current events, and as such they place its Rapture Verses, at the conclusion of this chapter, directly in view, as an imminent event.

Importantly, in connection with Timing Clues it is notable that since the first 4 numbers of our Numerical Key to the End [22,23,24,25,26,27] brought us to 94 the next one number 26, the second number of our second triad [25,26,27] brings us to a very significant number, as follows:

94 + 26 = 120

As I explained above, 120 is probably the most significant transitional number that there is in Scripture, as it represents the limit of God striving with Sinful mankind. It was the limit before judgement came in the times of Noah; and it was the limit of Moses leadership over Israel. As scripture is clear to point out, Moses was not weakened by age, but he had reach the symbolic age of 120 and so it was a time of transition when Joshua —whose name in Hebrew is the same as for Jesus, both being Yehoshua, or its abbreviated form of Yeshua— became the one to take God's people into the Promised Land. It was a picture of Jesus also taking God's people into the greater Promised Land of Heaven in the Rapture.

In this way, on God's Roadmap to the End, we see the number 26 take us symbolically to a number that could represent the Rapture. So I find it remarkable that in Isaiah, in the chapter with the same number 26, we arguably have some of the clearest references to the Rapture in the whole bible. This time starting at verse 18, which symbolically represents the 666 (6+6+6) of the Antichrist, this verse effectively declares that Israel has not brought deliverance to the world, but in spite of that, the dead are going to be resurrected, because it is God’s Appointed time, that is not dependent upon any victory of Israel.

So at the same time that Israel recognizes its own failure, God is going to intervene and is going to call His people to come home (heaven) and enter their chambers (rooms or spaces) to hide for a little while, until the indignation (God's wrath) has passed. This will be the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the time of the Unbeliever, the Supplanter, the Deceiver, the Heel Grabber, which is when the LORD will punish the Wicked for their Iniquity (during the Tribulation): 

¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 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 26:18-21.

Amazingly, when you add the numbers of these verses 18-21 of chapter 26 together, you get:

18 + 19 + 20 + 21 = 78

Again, we have the central number of 78 - Seriously, the odds of all this being by chance would have to be astronomical, and when factored into the overall picture of the numbers being discussed in this article, it is seen to be totally impossible, except for a God who has ordered every atom in Creation to hold its place, as He redeems mankind to Himself.

Isaiah Chapter 27

[22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

Then, following on from Chapter 26 of Isaiah, and bringing Isaiah's Mini-Apocalypse (chapters 24 to 27) to a close, we have the words of Chapter 27 that opens with:

In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even -- leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay -- the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1

There is no denying that this is meant to be connected to the Final Judgement of Satan in Revelation, who is described as the Devil, the Great Dragon and Serpent in Chapter 12: 

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9

In a two-stage judgment, Revelation depicts the Devil / Satan being bound for a thousand years:

² And he laid hold on the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. — Revelation 20:2

Leading up to this period, Isaiah 27:2-13 outlines the restoration of Israel, as the nation prepares to enter the 1,000-year Millennial Reign of Christ from the Temple in Jerusalem, coinciding with the seventh millennium of Creation.

Following this Satan will be released for one last temptation of mankind:

⁷ And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, Revelation 20:7

After which, he will be cast into the Lake of Fire:

¹⁰And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever Revelation 20:10

Verse 13 of Isaiah beautifully encapsulates the transition to the 1000-year Millennium, employing his signature phrase for the 'Day of the LORD', which is "in that Day." He states:

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:13

In this passage, the LORD is summoning His people home after the Tribulation, inviting them and the other nations to worship at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Notably, this will not be the Third Temple, which is rebuilt during the Tribulation and desecrated by the Antichrist. Instead, it will be the Temple of the Millennial Reign, as described in Ezekiel chapters 40 and beyond.

So, what are the odds that all of this could happen by Chance. We have a 6-digit Numerical key for Israel [22,23,24,25,26,27] that can be divided into two triads with the first pointing us to Jesus on the Cross, quoting the Psalm associated with the first number (22) of this Key that also because of Jewish Tradition points us to the next number (23) and ultimately to the 23^rd book of the Bible in Isaiah. Then the sum of the first three numbers (the first triad) [22,23,24] totaling 69, that equals the 69^th week of Daniel's prophecy, that literally involves the Messiah of Israel dying, or being cut-off, just as was happening to Jesus.

This leads us to the second triad of numbers [25,26,27] that total 78, which is seen to be a very special number that could be a timing clue to the end, that also points us to Isaiah because 78, as the value of the 12^th Triangle T₁₂, sits at the center of a deconstructed 23^rd Triangle T₂₃. Then as you incrementally add the number of the triad to the beginning point of 69, you get three very significant numbers:

69 + 25 = 94
94 + 26 = 120
120 + 27 = 147

Possible Timing Clues?

94 - we associated 94 with the number 25 (2025), which led us to the mirror numbers 47 and 74, which, when multiplied, yield 3478. This value corresponds to 94 x 37 (God's personal numbers) that beginning at the Exodus of Israel from Egypt could be pointing to another exodus of God's People in 2033 (1446 BC + 3478 = 2033), possibly aligning with the Second Coming of Jesus.

120 - Linked with the number 26 (2026), this indicates a possible transition event (when God ceases to strive with humanity's sin) that may coincide with the Rapture, expected to occur anytime from 2026 onward.

147 - This is the full addition of the numbers in our Numerical Key [22,23,24,25,26,27], as well as being the result of the last number (27) added to our running total of 120 that represents a transitional event, as above. So, in association with the number 27 (2027) this could reflect the time when ISRAEL (that represents God's people) transitions, or goes to be with the LORD, as it was the age of Jacob / Israel when he died. From this perspective, if you multiply 27 x 75 (the age of Abraham when God called him, to ultimately father the nation of ISRAEL) you get:

27 x 75 = 2025

Importantly - it should be noted that when we state a number of years since Christ, we are actually counting from AD 1. This means when we say 2,025 years have transpired, we are actually declaring that a full 2,025 years have passed, such that we would be at the end of that year - December 31^st 2025. In effect, this makes a pointer to 2025 to actually be a pointer to the start of 2026, or January 1^st 2026.

With this understanding, if we now consider the number 147 beginning from 1878, when the very first community of Jews was established in the Promised Land, in fulfilment of Hosea 2:15:

^Fur15 And I will give her -- her vineyards from thence, and -- the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. Hosea 2:15

We get the following possibility:

1878 + 147 = 2025 → 2026 

So, the numbers of the second Triad [25,26,27] that combine with the 69 of the first triad [22,23,24 - 22+23+24=69] that was fulilled by Jesus on the Cross (Daniel's 69^th Week) to form three new numbers (94,120,147) as above could ultimately be pointing to the possibility of a Rapture sometime from this year onward. This is based upon the above mathematical consideration that sees 147 as the total of our Numerical Key to the End and understanding that the establishment of Peta Tikvah (Door of Hope), in the Promised Land in 1878, was a picture of God calling his people home. This all marries up perfectly with Jacob who became Israel going to be with the LORD when he was 147.

Furthermore, with regard to the significance of the number 1878 (click here to access my last article that provides more information on this), it is worth noting that if you add 78 onto 1878 this brings you to 1956, when Israel fought its first existential war following its establishment in 1948. It was called the Suez Crisis of 1956 and it threatened to wipe out the modern state by cutting of all of its supply of fuel and imported foods etc., by blocking Israel from the international shipping, that was all using the Suez Canal.

Importantly, in relation to the numbers in our article, it also involved the two key numbers 78 and 56 (1878 and 1956) that we have already touched on but will expound upon further shortly.

The Special Importance of 26

Ultimately, as we wait for the Return of the LORD, passages like those in Isaiah chapter 26 resonate deeply. As we saw, this chapter concludes with a poignant call for God’s people to seek refuge in their designated dwelling place (chambers) before He comes "...to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity" (Tribulation). Such verses ignite a growing excitement about how near we may truly be to this significant event.

As we noted earlier, Jesus spoke of this place in John 14:2-3:

² In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:2-3

Furthermore, Paul referred to this connected event as the Blessed Hope in Titus 2:13:

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

So, one intriguing aspect of these passages is how many patterns appear to be linked to God's Personal Number - 26, which is associated with His personal name, the tetragrammaton - יְהוָֹה. This name, that is variously translated as Yehovah / Jehovah / Yahweh, is notable not only because it speaks of God's sovereignty, but because it was first revealed to Moses as God's people began their journey to freedom.

Significantly Exodus 3:13-15 shows Moses asking God for His name at the burning bush, and God revealing His identity and the four-letter name (YHVH), stating it is His name forever. Then in Exodus 6:2-3, God explains that while He appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai (God Almighty), He did not make Himself fully known to them by His personal name, YHVH. This reveals Moses' special relationship with God, the nature of which is clarified in Exodus 33:11, where the text notes that "the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend". Finally, the importance of one's name —and of God giving Moses His name— is then highlighted in Exodus 33:17 where God tells Moses, "I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name", which links God's intimate compliance with Moses' requests directly to His personal favor and knowledge of him.

So, I believe the fact that God's name carries the value 26 is no small thing.  It speaks to a level of intimacy not seen until Jesus, as the Son of God, came to earth and walked among us. And I believe that now that Jesus is ascended to the right hand of the Father, that this name and the value it carries is again pointing to a time when God will again draw near to His people for the purpose of setting them free from this fallen world, so that we can be with Him and speak with Him 'face to face', beginning with the event of the Rapture.

Even the reference above (Titus 2:13), that deals with our expectation about Jesus' Return (the Blessed Hope), uses the numbers 2 and 13 that are clearly a multiplicative pair 2 x 13 = 26 that point us back to God. And here we begin to see just how special the number 26 truly is because it represents the actions of God on our behalf in that He takes the 13 of Rebellion and turns it into the 13 of Redemption by sacrificing Himself.

As has been shown before, this revelation of His personal sacrifice is encapsulated in this name יְהוָֹה (YHVH), within its original Hebrew Pictographs that literally mean:

BEHOLD (ה) the HAND (יְ) - BEHOLD (ה) the NAIL (וָֹ)

This would normally be understood by reading from right to left, beginning with the Nail that is called to engender a response, but English inverts this order, in this instance. Essentially, in biblical Hebrew, "behold" (represented by the particle hinneh הִנֵּה) functions as a demonstrative particle, or interjection, rather than a standard active verb. And with regard to word order, classical Hebrew's standard sentence structure actually places the verb first, followed by the subject noun and then the object, such that it exists in the order Verb - Subject - Object. Thus, with regard to God's name that pictographically has a noun (Hand / Nail) before the verb (Behold) order, this makes it an inversion that is used specifically for emphasis. As such, it is written as יְהוָֹה (reading from right to left) but is read in English as above. Basically, it is a picture of what God has done to Redeem us by being nailed to the Cross.

This greater understanding of recognizing that He is the God who is reversing the Curse, by turning the Rebellion of Man (13) into the Redemption of Man (13), all helps to underscore the sovereignty of God over all Creation, reminding us that, despite the patterns He reveals, regarding His Return, He remains completely in control.

As such, God has the authority to alter the timing as He sees fit, for His ultimate desire is that no one be lost. When He returns, the eternal destinies of all will be determined and this should be our greatest concern. So, while many numbers; passages and patterns are pointing to 26 or 2026, this still does not mean that He will return at this time, it just means that TIME as we know it is up, and in Football parlance, we are entering into the final 'time-on' period.
