John 3:14: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Seeking out any and every occasion for preaching the Gospel!
For all the words therein, this article lacks substance. It could use a little help.
John 3:14: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
An excellent Point. It just never ends. To keep going is to find his address pretty quickly. The 358 beginning at position 9 offers a small hint that there's way more to come.
To really hack pi is to have pun with Pi, because
To arrive is to know that the answer to the question, "Are we there yet?" is always "No."
("ION" means "going".)
It's the "missing" capstone on the Great Pyramid, located in Egypt of all places. Perspective 101, the עוֹלָם olam vanishing point.
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
91 = pi [פאי] = angel [מַלְאָך], and
There's even what I'd call a "conceptual benchmark" for Angel's Landing, because there isn't a physical benchmark from which this "token pin" is based (the NGS benchmark search map page is one I always keep handy, for such a time as this):
5785 FEET
Ironically only accessible in stores?
And then the name of Angel's Landing -- in Hebrew it is a transliteration (I had recently dug that out from the Hebrew Wiki page for Zion National *Park*):
אנג'לס לנדינג
"Landing" לנדינג
= 147
It's not just the literal physical address of The Point at the zero point of the Revolution at zip code 02108 (the birth year of the Twins who lived to age 147, or at least Jacob insofar as the Torah documents -- the truth never dies) -- 5785 is the up and coming Hebrew year. Here are some coordinating stats:
The height of the Great Pyramid *with* the capstone included is typically stated as being 147m/482 ft.
482 x 12 = 5784 📍(PIn)
5785 inches = 482.0833 feet
(24 x 241 = 5784, for anyone who recalls the key 241 gate over on the CMYK Tzimtzum color diagram)
Transcendental:
5784 + the kollel:
Building Blocks of the Soul, pg. 299(Angel's Landing)
The Addition of the KollelSometimes, in finding the numerical equivalent of a word, we increase the total by one. Rav Y.A. Chaver in Pitchei Sh'arim* explains that in such cases the root of the word is still attached to the upper worlds, and therefore dependent upon them. When we add the kollel (=1), we thereby note the word's unique connection and dependence Above.
In case anyone is still reading and maybe wondering what my chronic problem is, here's an example for why I find such information important -- it's all connected all-day-every-day:
Whose Landing place is it? Hikers going up and down, ascending and descending. Popular place. Some even put it on their bucket list. (A few have only gone up.)
"Angel's" אנג'לס
= 144, the same as kedem קדם (the days of yore, so to speak). And olam [עוֹלָם] is found in Proverbs 10:25, the verse that is the source text for why Joseph got his name in quotes, his epithet of "Ha-Tzaddik", Joseph the Righteous.
Proverbs 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. [וְצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָם].
("Everlasting foundation" is also translated as "foundation of the world".)
Either way, the last letters of the words spell kedem (the days of yore), and here's a verse freely quoted in the NT, where "kedem" ended up as the "foundation of the world":
Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old [קדם]:
Matthew 13
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
(Thus, I keep right on going. A "500-year" journey is but a few days.)
Now, עוֹלָם olam = 146 = the length of the Way of the Patriarchs. I simply make it a Point to go the extra mile.
Never boring, always surprising!
*פתחי שערים -- opening of the gates (see Proverbs 1:21, 20-33)
= 1118 =
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
(also "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin", come to think of it)
Good thing I have that time machine!
