Bible Numbers 2.0

Numbers In The Prophecy On Tyre

The 144 letters in Isaiah 23:17-18 can be arranged many ways into geometric shapes. As a three dimension object, the letters are loaded into a series of tables stacked on top of each other. Each table is filled top to bottom row by row. Each row is filled from left to right with a single letter from the two verses. (Move mouse slowly along right or bottom edge of the tables to riffle through the series.)

Create the table first , before clicking the associated features. Click the set of tables to return to the feature button.

Surface area of block (the outside): 6636 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 79.

Revelation 1:8's principle of complementary opposites is revealed in the surface area (outside). 6636 is a number with an outside of 6006 (divisible by 7 and 13), and an inside 63 (divisible by 7 and 9).

The inside of the block: 2121 = 3 x 7 x 101.

Here we see the other complementary opposite from Revelation 1:8 with every other in the sequence: 21 and 21.

Eight corners define the object: 371 = 7 x 53.

Providentially, the top four corners (layer 1): 161 = 7 x 23.

The bottom four corners (layer 4): 210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7.

Four corner pillars: 665 = 5 x 7 x 19.

The first 3 rows of each layer (a type of half): 4466 = 2 x 7 x 11 x 29. SF: 49 = 72. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.

The last 3 rows of each layer (other half): 4291 = 7 x 613.

Earlier, 8 corners defined the object. A wire frame, or outline, fills in more detail: 2941 = 17 x 173. This is not divisible by 7 or 13, but the sum of the factors is 190 (2 x 5 x 19), the largest factor for China. The sum of its factors is a multiple of 13: 26 = 2 x 13.

Make another block with dimensions 6 x 8 x 3.

The outside of the 6 x 8 x 3 block: 7490 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 107. SF: 121 = 11 x 11. SF: 22 = 2 x 11. SF: 13.

The inside of this block: 1267 = 7 x 181.

The first and last layers: 6071 = 13 x 467.

Four pillars: 399 = 3 x 7 x 19.

144 is 12 x 12. Build a square table.

The table can be divided into nine regions: 4781 = 7 x 683.

Reverse the regions selected: 3976 = 23 x 7 x 71. SF: 84 = 22 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.

The table can also be divided into 16 regions. Half of the regions total 4585 = 5 x 7 x 131. SF: 143 = 11 x 13.

The reverse of these 16 regions: 4172 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 149.

Spiraling in clockwise: 5239 = 13 x 13 x 31.

Mark off the rows and columns where letters 7 and 70 reside: 5376 = 28 x 3 x 7. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.

A 6 x 24 table also has numeric features.

The perimeter (outside): 2779 = 7 x 397.

Inside: 5978 = 2 x 72 x 61. SF: 77 = 7 x 11.

Four corners: 266 = 2 x 7 x 19. SF: 28 = 22 x 7.

Upper left and lower right quarters: 5166 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 41. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.

Lower left and upper right quarters: 3591 = 33 x 7 x 19. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.

The odd positioned of 24 regions: 5348 = 22 x 7 x 191.

The even positioned of 24 regions: 3409 = 7 x 487. SF: 494 = 2 x 13 x 19.

The 144 letters can also be arranged as two geometric objects. Why two blocks? Because there is God and the Word.

The outside of both blocks: 7301 = 72 x 149.

The inside of both blocks: 1456 = 24 x 7 x 13. SF: 28 = 22 x 7.

First and last layers of both blocks: 5447 = 13 x 419.

First and last rows of both blocks: 4424 = 23 x 7 x 79.

Eight corner pillars: 1120 = 25 x 5 x 7.

Alternating rows (A): 3906 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 31.

Alternating rows (B): 4851 = 32 x 72 x 11.

Alternating columns (A): 4543 = 7 x 11 x 59. SF: 77 = 7 x 11.

Alternating columns (B): 4214 = 2 x 72 x 43.

2 x 2 checkers (A): 3423 = 3 x 7 x 163.

2 x 2 checkers (B): 5334 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 127.

Outer halves: 5166 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 41. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.

Inner halves: 3591 = 33 x 7 x 19. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.

Descending diagonals across both blocks: 3514 = 2 x 7 x 251. SF: 260 = 22 x 5 x 13.

Arrange the letters in two geometric objects each 8 x 3 x 3. Two buildings each 8 x 32 (columns, rows, floors).

Outside: 7777 = 7 x 11 x 101. SF: 119 = 7 x 17. (The 7777th Big5 character is 袢: a robe. Naturally a robe covers what is outside.)

Inside: 980 = 22 x 5 x 72

First last floors of both buildings: 5447 = 13 x 419.

Wide descending steps: 2751 = 3 x 7 x 131.

First last columns: 2268 = 22 x 34 x 7.

Everything but the first and last columns: 6489 = 32 x 7 x 103.

Wire frame (outline): 4949 = 72 x 101.

Checkers: 2912 = 25 x 7 x 13.

Other checkers: 5845 = 5 x 7 x 167.

Mirrored checkers: 4966 = 2 x 13 x 191.

There is no middle column, but there are two columns in the middle: 2716 = 22 x 7 x 97.

Everything but the two middle columns: 6041 = 7 x 863.

The foolishness of God is greater than anything we can imagine (1 Corinthians 1:25). On the off chance the numbers are a form of foolishness, do not spend too much time on them.
