I just happened to be perusing through the NT, and for some reason this looked like a good place to do some math.
John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
"Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews" =
Yeshua ha-natzri melek ha-yehudim:
---------
80 = 40 + 10 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 10 +5 <<< 90 = 20 + 30 + 40 <<< 355 = 10 + 200 + 90 + 50 + 5 <<< 386 = 70 + 6 + 300 + 10
386 + 355 + 90 + 80 = 911
Then I remembered that...
1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
And also that...
The first word in the Torah = bereshith, in the beginning, the letter bet + the word 'reshith'.
07225 re'shiyth {ray-sheeth'}
from the same as 07218; TWOT - 2097e; n f
AV - beginning 18, firstfruits 11, first 9, chief 8, misc 5; 51
1) first, beginning, best, chief
1a) beginning
1b) first
1c) chief
1d) choice part
re'shiyth:
911 = 400 + 10 + 300 + 1 + 200
[Reshith is indeed used in the Hebrew translation of the above.]

This destruction done in New York was done on the Day of Christ, making it a special travesty.
The titulus says "JESUS THE NAZARENE "KING" of the Jews." It alludes to his membership of the (outlawed)(Essene) sect/cult, the Nazareans, which his parents and most relatives also belonged to.
NOT a reference to an obscure Galilean village, of which the Jerusalem bystanders would never have heard.
If I am not right, then the titulus would have been illegal under Roman law, for it would then not state what the charge against him was.
PS The word for this sect, with no change, remains in use in Hebrew and Arabic today "notsrim" and its derivatives-- to mean "Christians."
But the CRV [crystalk revised version] usually translates Elohim as "the Celestials," so...
If we could assume that there is an Aleph left off at the beginning as a typo, we could read Ab-reshit bara Elohim...and translate the verse, as "The Father of Beginnings (or of FF, or of INRI) created the Celestials, the Heavens, and the Earth." or "The Father of INRI created the Celestials, the Heavens, and the Earth."
You get the picture. But you are deep in crystalkery, when I was young nobody but me ever looked at these things.
When? Well, no LATER than when "they look upon Him whom they have pierced."
I know God has a penchant for things to come out in tidy ways numerically.
HOWEVER, HE'S STRONGLY AGAINST NUMEROLOGY. . . perhaps in terms of trying to predict or govern one's life by it instead of by walking daily moment by moment per Holy Spirit's guidance. . . .
I often think people spend too much time figuring out such tidy little ditties. But if it's their recreational hobby, why not.
Don't know that it changes a lot between the Medes and Persians.
The use for this sort of thing that I increasingly hate is the identifying of every crazy world leader as the anti-Christ in this fashion.
I suspect that such curiosities can only be well calculated after the fact--like some Bible Codes. . . a kind of confirmation or clue that there's some at least subtle message in something. But not a lot to make major life decisions by.
Daniel 9:1-7
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our 7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
>>>
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision...
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.
Nehemiah 1:1-6; Luke 4:16-21
