Bible Numbers 2.0

The Hope Of Israel

Zechariah 9:9 describes the arrival of the true king of Israel on a young donkey. This is The Hope God promised Israel (Zechariah 9:12). To say rejoice greatly and shout describes a king who is popular with his people. As the Gospel of Matthew pointed out, Jesus was the only one who fit this description (Matthew 21:4-5). From our time in hindsight, no other individual has done what Jesus did in matching this prophecy. And since mechanized travel is now widely known, it seems very unlikely any future individual would ever enter Jerusalem on a donkey. Unless civilization collapses with technological loss, or some other meaning can be gleaned from the prophetic words, Jesus was, is, and most likely will be the only possible fulfillment to this prophecy.

The numbers support this reasoning and prove Jesus was The Hope God promised Israel. Until this fundamental truth is recognized and accepted, there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East or in the world.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass. (Zechariah 9:9)1

This took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of an ass. (Matthew 21:4-5)

Neither passage is divisible by 7 or 13. The verse from Zechariah has a numeric total of 4833. The passage from Matthew has a total of 10308. However, when the two are put together, the sum is divisible by 7 twice: 4833 + 10308 = 15141 (3 x 72 x 103). This is a one in 49 chance.

Writing a passage with structured numeric features is laborious. It becomes even more onerous when the available vocabulary is less than ten thousand words. Writing a second passage based on the first, when both passages alone have no numeric features, so that the two together will have spectacular numeric features is extremely difficult. Doing it with another language is an even more formidable challenge. Waiting centuries to accomplish such a feat borders on the impossible. What we have here is clearly a sign of divine action.

The combined verses have 53 words (a prime number), and 224 letters (25 x 7). They produce many complementary opposites following the pattern described in Revelation 1:8. This shows Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:4-5 go together, and proves Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecy.

The Words Of The Combined Passages

(Since Zechariah's prophecy comes before Matthew, the data for Zechariah's verse comes first. Matthew's data is added afterwards.)

1The first and last words of the passage: 53 + 808 = 861 (3 x 7 x 41).

1.1The letters from the Name are applied three times to count through the passage.

Letter from the Name: 10 5   6  5  10  5   6  5   10  5  6   5
Count:                10 15  21 26 36  41  47 52  62  14 20  25
Adjusted to 53 words: 10 15  21 26 36  41  47 52  9   14 20  25
Word found:           19 130 52 50 401 350 84 309 110 12 280 156

Total of the words found: 1953 = 32 x 7 x 31.

1.2Beginning with the first word and taking every Nth word after, the following values of N select a sequence with a total divisible by 7;

3 6 11 12 20

Total of N: 52 = 22 x 13.

1.3Thirty-eight words are even valued.

a) 3   4   6   7   8  9   11 12  13  14 15  16  17  18  19  20  21 23  25
b) 402 156 402 586 60 110 50 204 432 12 130 228 100 254 106 280 52 520 156

a) 26 27  28  29  30 31  33  34  39 41  42  45 46  47 48  49 50 51  53
b) 50 792 160 140 14 360 378 190 60 350 600 20 800 84 200 20 84 790 808

a) Word position.
b) Word value.

Total of these words: 10140 = 22 x 3 x 5 x 132. (Providentially, the sum of the factors is also 38.)

There is no matching feature with the odd valued words because this is a prophecy and not about God. Nevertheless, the two factors of 13, and the sum of the factors equalling the number of words make up for it.

1.4The principle of odd and even can be applied to the word value and also to the word's position. This creates four groups of words.

Odd position & odd valued:
1      5
53     295
Total: 1353.

Odd position & even valued:
3   7   9   11 13  15  17  19  21 23  25  27  29  31  33  39 41
402 586 110 50 432 130 100 106 52 520 156 792 140 360 378 60 350

45 47 49 51  53
20 84 20 790 808
Total: 6446.

Even position & odd valued:
2  10 22  24 32  36  38  40  44  52
45 19 857 9  877 401 273 417 441 309
Total: 3648.

Even position & even valued:
4   6   8  12  14 16  18  20  26 28  30 34  42  46  48  50
156 402 60 204 12 228 254 280 50 160 14 190 600 800 200 84
Total: 3694.

This does not seem to yield any result until the groups are further arranged as those purely odd in position and value with those purely even in position and value versus those that are mixed.

1.4.1Purely odd or purely even: 1353 + 3694 = 5047. ( 72 x 103. SF: 117 = 32 x 13.)

1.4.2Mixed (odd positioned & even valued or even positioned & odd valued): 6446 + 3648 = 10094. (2 x 72 x 103. SF: 119 = 7 x 17.)

The breakdown between the two groups is an amazing 1 in 49 chance again. One only needed to look a little further in order to find it.

1.5Exactly seven words are prime numbers, but there is no other feature.

Word position: 1  10 22  32  35  36  37
Word value:    53 19 857 877 107 401 739

1.6.1Only the middle 51 and middle 33 words produce a total divisible by 7 when they are added. These are the only two because 51 + 33 = 84 = 22 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.

1.6.2Only the middle 39 (3 x 13) words produce a multiple of 13 when added.

1.7Starting with the first word, take every Nth word after, where the value of N increases.

Word position: 1  2  4   7   11 16  22  29  37  46
N value:       1  2  3   4   5  6   7   8   9   10
Word found:    53 45 156 586 50 228 857 140 739 800

Total: 3654 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 29.

1.8.1When the words are added one by one, there are ten instances where the accumulated total is divisible by 7.

Word position:     2  7    10   13   21   24   39    43    44    53
Word value:        45 586  19   432  52   9    60    159   441   808
Accumulated total: 98 1939 2128 2814 3976 5362 10059 11585 12026 15141

Total of the word values: 2611 = 7 x 373.

1.8.2When the words are added one by one, there are only two cases where the accumulated total is a multiple of 13.

Word position:     48    50
Word value:        200   84
Accumulated total: 13130 13234

Total of the word positions: 98 = 2 x 72.

1.9Although the 53 words cannot be divided into smaller equal groups, they can be divided into groups of 13, 7, 13, 7, and 13.

1.9.1Groups of 13.

53 45 402 156 295 402 586 60 110 19 50 204 432
52 857 520 9 156 50 792 160 140 14 360 877 378
350 600 159 441 20 800 84 200 20 84 790 309 808

Total: 11844 = 22 x 32 x 7 x 47.

1.9.2Groups of 7.

12 130 228 100 254 106 280
190 107 401 739 273 60 417

Total: 3297 = 3 x 7 x 157.

The Letters Of The Combined Passages

2.1The odd positioned letters: 5993 = 13 x 461. (There is no corresponding feature with the even positioned letters.)

2.2Thirty-eight pairs of equal sized groups positioned Nth and Nth last can be found in the letters. Within each pair, the sum of the two groups is a multiple of 13, and each group is also individually a multiple of 13.

a) 1   10   13   16   16   16    16    21  22  23   23    30   30   30
b) 2   48   65   33   56   96    101   25  30  43   105   52   63   77
c) 273 4992 6981 3016 4914 10582 11492 611 975 1924 10634 2392 3874 6669

a) 33  34   34   34   39   44   45   46   46   48   48   53   53   55
b) 37  56   96   101  76   105  85   75   103  83   99   63   77   90
c) 663 1898 7566 8476 4719 8710 6409 4199 8307 5551 7397 1482 4277 5564

a) 57   57   59   64   68   71  76   84   95   97
b) 96   101  73   77   87   72  103  99   108  101
c) 5668 6578 1885 2795 3302 312 4108 1846 2197 910

a) Starting position of the first group from the beginning and position
   of the second group from the end.
b) Ending position of the first group from the beginning and ending
   position of the second group from the end.

Total of the starting and ending positions (a + b): 4466 = 2 x 7 x 11 x 29. SF: 49 = 72. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.

2.3.1Every 9th letter, every 16th letter, and every 24th letter added together produces a sum divisible by 91 (7 x 13). Providentially, 9 + 16 + 24 = 49 (72, SF: 14 = 2 x 7.)

2.3.2The sums for the 9th, 16th, and 24th letters are given below.

Every 9th letter:
9   18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81  90 99  108 117 126 135 144 153 162 171 180
400 10 5  6  50 10 6  50 100 5  600 40  60  60  100 80  200 90  1   90

189 198 207 216
2   40  70  200
Total: 2275 = 52 x 7 x 13.

Every 16th letter:
16 32 48 64  80  96 112 128 144 160 176 192 208 224
10 20 70 200 200 20 100 100 80  5   70  600 600 200
Total: 2275 = 52 x 7 x 13.

Every 24th letter:
24  48 72 96 120 144 168 192 216
300 70 50 20 100 80  400 600 200
Total: 1820 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 13.

The sum of the results: 6370 = 2 x 5 x 72 x 13. There is an extra factor of 7.

2.4.1Odd positioned groups of 7 from the 224 letters:

The total of these letters has an extra factor of 13: 1092 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 13.

2.6.1There are exactly 13 times when the middle N letters have a total divisible by 7. This occurs when N is one of the following:

222 220 184 180 178 170 152 128 74 68 62 50 28

Total of N: 1716 = 22 x 3 x 11 x 13.

2.6.2Providentially, the N values also point to specific letters.

2.8.1When the letters are added up one by one, there will be exactly 28 times when the accumulated total is divisible by 7.

2.8.2When the letters are added up one by one, there will be 15 times when the accumulated total is a multiple of 13.

2.8.3In Hebrew, The Hope is התקוה (ha-tikvah). The numeric value of this word is 516. At the 156th letter the accumulative total is 10062. This is the only time in the passage where the accumulative total is related to התקוה (tikvah).

 התקוה (ha-tikvah):  516  = 2 x 2 x 3 x 43.
Accumulative total: 10062 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 43.

Three of the factors are common to both numbers. This is a 1 in 258 chance. The curious coincidence is that the 156th position is also divisible by 13: 156 =22 x 3 x 13 .

2.9Divide the letters into groups of 32 and add up each group.

2.10.4.1The sizes of these alternating groups are all multiples of 7, so their total would also be multiples of 7. What can't be foreseen is that their sum has an extra factor of 7: 7 + 105 + 14 + 42 + 98 + 28 = 294 (2 x 3 x 72).

2.10.4.2Also unexpected is that these numbers point out six letters in the passage.

2.11.4.1     The first and last columns: 1323 = 33 x 72.

Curiously, when the third and third last columns are added to the first and last columns, there is no result. But there is a pattern.

2.11.4.2     The Nth and Nth last columns, where N is 1, 3, and 5: 3584 = 29 x 7.

2.11.4.3     The Nth and Nth last columns, where N is 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9: 5614 = 2 x 7 x 401.

2.11.4.4     The Nth and Nth last columns, where N is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13: 7406 = 2 x 7 x 232.

2.11.4.5     The pattern of Nth and Nth last follows the odd positioned columns (from the beginning, and from the end), but skips every other odd positioned column. There is a consistent pattern of 1, 5, 9, and 13. 1 + 5 + 9 + 13 = 28 (22 x 7), and this is the width of the table.

2.11.4.6     This pattern adds an additional focus to the two columns in the middle: 1469 = 13 x 113. SF: 126 = 2 x 32 x 7.

2.11.4.7     The mirror of 2.11.4.4: 7735 = 5 x 7 x 13 x 17. SF: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7.

2.11.5.1     The first and last rows, and the two middle rows: 7637 = 7 x 1091.

2.11.5.2     The opposite of 2.11.5.1: 7504 =24 x 7 x 67.

2.12Having seen how the letters could be arranged as a two dimension object with numeric features, they are now placed in a three dimension object, an 8 x 7 x 4 block.

2.12.1The outside of the block: 10787 = 7 x 23 x 67.

2.12.2The inside of the block: 4354 = 2 x 7 x 311.

2.12.3First and last columns through the block: 5614 = 2 x 7 x 401.

2.12.4First and last rows through the block: 3952 = 24 x 13 x 19.

2.12.5The first, last and middle rows: 5285 = 5 x 7 x 151.

2.12.6The first, last and two middle rows: 9191 = 7 x 13 x 101.

2.12.7Four pillars of four at the corners: 4830 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 23. (This could also be eight cubes of four at the corners.)

In combining Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:4-5, the data from the New Testament verses was added to the end of the data from the Old Testament. In dealing with data, it doesn't matter that Hebrew is read from right to left, and Greek is read from left to right. What happens if the reading direction is considered? In other words, the Hebrew could be tacked on at the end of the Greek of Matthew 21:4-5. A computer would be converting everything to numbers with the Hebrew in reverse.

Not much is found with the word totals, but the letters are a different matter.

3.1The letter values of the Name (10-5-6-5) are used seven times to count through the letters.

a) 10 5  6  5  10 5   6  5  10 5  6  5  10  5   6  5   10  5   6   5

a) 10  5   6   5   10  5   6   5     (Value from the Name.)
b) 140 145 151 156 166 171 177 182   (Count.)
c) 70  9   400 10  70  10  70  100   (Letter found.)

Total: 1885 = 5 x 13 x 29.

3.2Exactly thirteen pairs of letters can be found that Nth and Nth last together are divisible by 7.

a) Nth position:                    2   11  23  31  53  57  64  65  71  89  90  98  110
b) Value:                           60  60  8   40  90  1   3   1   600 5   80  9   2
c) Equivalent to Nth last position: 223 214 202 194 172 168 161 160 154 136 135 127 115
d) Value:                           10  10  6   30  50  20  200 6   2   9   200 5   600
e) Sum:                             70  70  14  70  140 21  203 7   602 14  280 14  602

Total of positions (a + c): 2925 = 32 x 52 x 13.

3.3.1Beginning with the first letter and taking every Nth letter after, the following values of N produce a series of letters with a total divisible by 7:

6 13 15 20 31 32 41 56 65 66 67 71 75 76 88 111

Total of N: 833 = 72 x 17.
The first to succeed is N = 6, and the last to succeed is N = 111. First and last: 6 + 111 = 117 (32 x 13).

3.3.2Taking every Nth letter, the following values of N produce a series with a total divisible by 7:

8 13 15 17 18 32 36 57 60 61 67 68 69 73 74 82 86 98 101 102 110 111

Total: 1358 = 2 x 7 x 97.
The first to succeed is N = 8, and the last to succeed is N = 111. First and last: 8 + 111 = 119 (7 x 17).

3.4This list of letters produces many groupings and subgroups of groups with numeric features.

3.5Twenty-one letters are divisible by 7.

18 20 24 28 38 42 56 61 99 108 113 118 128 130 140 157 159 166 173 177 208
70 7  7  7  70 7  70 7  70 70  7   70  70  70  70  70  70  70  70  70  70

Total of the letter positions: 2163 = 3 x 7 x 103. (We saw this earlier with feature 2.5, but in that earlier case the positions had no feature. With this letter arrangement they do.)

3.6With this new arrangement, the letters can be subdivided into alternating groups of letters, where the size of each group is a multiple of seven.

3.6.1Alternating groups of 14 and 21 letters.

3.6.1.1Groups of 14:

3.7With this arrangement, three letters divide the passage into three sections with their first and last appearances.

3.7.1.1All letters between the first and last appearances of the letter 5: 13951 = 7 x 1993.

3.7.1.2All letters not between the first and last appearances of the letter 5: 1190 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 17.

3.7.2.1All letters between the first and last appearances of the letter 9: 9345 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 89. SF: 104 = 23 x 13.

3.7.2.2All letters not between the first and last appearances of the letter 9: 5796 = 22 x 32 x 7 x 23.

3.7.3.1All letters between the first and last appearances of the letter 90: 11095 = 5 x 7 x 317. SF: 329 = 7 x 47.

3.7.3.2All letters not between the first and last appearances of the letter 90: 4046 = 2 x 7 x 172

3.7.4Providentially, 5 + 9 + 90 = 104 (23 x 13).

3.7.5Also providentially, these three letters are the only letters where a second pair of Nth and Nth last appearances also achieves multiples of seven.

3.7.5.1The fourth and fourth last appearances of the letter 5.

3.7.5.1.1Letters between the fourth and fourth last appearances of the letter 5: 10535 = 5 x 72 x 43.

3.7.5.1.2Letters not between the fourth and fourth last appearances of the letter 5: 4606 = 2 x 72 x 47. SF: 63 = 32 x 7. SF: 13.

3.7.5.2The seventh and seventh last appearances of the letter 9.

3.7.5.2.1Letters between the seventh and seventh last appearances of the letter 9: 1876 = 22 x 7 x 67. SF: 78 = 2 x 3 x 13.

3.7.5.2.2Letters not between the seventh and seventh last appearances of the letter 9: 13265 = 5 x 7 x 379.

3.7.5.3The third and third last appearances of the letter 90.

3.7.5.3.1Letters between the third and third last appearances of the letter 90: 2604 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 31.

3.7.5.3.2Letters not between the third and third last appearances of the letter 90: 12537 = 32 x 7 x 199.

3.7.5.4And as a final act of providence, there is a reason why it is the fourth, seventh, and third appearances that also work: 4 + 7 + 3 = 14 (2 x 7).

Is this one massive coincidence? Is there further support for this? Confirmation comes from an unexpected source.

Most languages in the world have alphabets. Of those that are not alphabetical languages, not many remain in use, and only one is in widespread use. This is the Chinese language. There are three main Chinese Bibles: The Chinese Catholic Bible (CAT), The Chinese Union Version (CUV) and The Chinese New Version (CNV). The CUV is the most popular and stands like the King James Version in English. Below are the Chinese versions of Zechariah 9:9, and Matthew 21:4-5. (See: A Chinese Coincidence for the conversion of characters to numbers.)

CAT Zechariah 9:9
熙雍女子,你應盡量喜樂!耶路撒冷女子,你應該歡呼!看,你的君王到你這裡來,他是正義的,勝利的,謙遜的,騎在驢上,騎在驢駒上。
Matthew 21:4-5
這事發生,是為應驗先知所說的:你們應向熙雍女子說:看,你的君王來到你這裡,溫和的騎在一匹驢上,一匹母驢的小驢駒上

CUV Zechariah 9:9
錫安的民哪、應當大大喜樂.耶路撒冷 的民哪、應當歡呼.看哪、你的王來到你這裡.他是公義的、並且施行拯救、謙謙和和的騎著驢、就是騎著驢的駒子。
Matthew 21:4-5
這事成就、是要應驗先知的話、說、要對錫安的居民說、看哪、你的王來到你這裡、是溫柔的、又騎著驢、就是騎著驢駒子

CNV Zechariah 9:9
錫安的居民哪!要大大喜樂。耶路撒冷的居民哪!應當歡呼。看哪!你的王來到你這裡了,他是公義的,是得勝的。他又是溫柔的,他騎著驢,騎的是小驢
Matthew 21:4-5
這件事應驗了先知所說的要對錫安的居民說:‘看哪,你的王來到你這裡了;他是溫柔的,他騎著驢,騎的是小驢。

How is it possible that even in Chinese the two passages are either divisible by 7 or by 13? This strengthens the link between Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:4-5. Random chance is extremely unlikely. As the two verses in their original languages already have many numeric features, one can only conclude they were meant to fit together. Matthew is the fulfillment of the prophecy.

(The skeptic would say Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:4-5 were deliberately chosen because they fit together, and that it is only coincidence both verses are on the same subject. What the skeptic cannot discount is a larger section of Matthew 21 having similar numeric features.)

But ancient Israel rejected Jesus, and Jesus had warned them, For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. (Matthew 23:39) It seems very unlikely today that Jewish people will recognize Jesus. It even seems highly unlikely for many people to say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. So what now? This takes us to Zechariah 9:12.

Zechariah 9:12

Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. (Zechariah 9:12)

Zechariah gave his prophecy in poetic form, and the poetry lends itself to two different but related meanings. One understanding is the English translation above.

Israel is asked, or commanded to return to their stronghold. If they do so, God promised He would restore them. Not only would they be restored, God would restore double (see 9th word below).

A look at the Hebrew reveals a different but related meaning.

to-youI-returndouble

First, there is no your stronghold in the Hebrew, only the word stronghold.

The second thing to note is that the word return sometimes is translated as restore. The first and ninth words return and restore are the same word with a slightly different spelling due to context. This word has very wide meaning.

The third thing to note is that word order in the Bible's Hebrew is verb-subject-object (see Genesis 1:1): return is the verb, stronghold is the subject, and prisoners are the object. In English this would be the stronghold that returns to the prisoners, not the prisoners returning to the stronghold.

The fourth word התקוה with the letter ה in front is hope with the definite article, or the hope. This is not just hope, or any hope, but a very specific definite hope. The stronghold returns/restores to the prisoners the hope. Or, the stronghold restores the hope to the prisoners.

The last part of the verse emphasizes this day with a definite article in the sixth word. Also this day is declared that I will restore to you double.

The poetry of the Bible usually consisted of two lines with the second line repeating the first in a different form or sense. The stronghold restores the hope to the prisoners fits better with also this day I declare that I will restore to you double.

Finally, the last word of the verse, לך to you is feminine and singular. This clearly refers back to verse 9, the daughter of Zion. This hope is restored to the descendants of Israel, or the descendants of Zion. It is not restored to Israel.

The stronghold is God. He restores the hope. What is this hope? This is seen in verse 9, where the king of the daughter of Zion arrives riding on a young donkey. Clearly this is Jesus (Matthew 21:5). God had set the stage to give the daughter of Zion twice, or more than she ever hoped for, physical and spiritual victory. Sadly, the people of Jesus' day rejected him as they rejected God in the days of Samuel (1 Samuel 8:7). Jesus said they would not see him again until they recognized him (Matthew 23:39). Hope has been delayed even to today. In one sense, the prophecy even foresaw the rejection of Jesus. That is why the hope had to be restored in the first place.

There are two parts to Zechariah 9:12. In one part, Israel must return. In the other part is recognition that it is God who acts, and not necessarily Israel that returns. How these two aspects balance out remains to be seen.

Although people rejected Jesus, God’s promise still holds true. The amazing numeric features in this ten word verse assure us this is so, and they confirm the importance of Jesus as the true king of Israel. Until this is recognized and accepted, there is little chance there will be peace in the Middle East.

1.0.1There are ten words: 10 (nf).

1.0.2There are 40 letters: 40 (nf).

1.0.3The numeric total of the verse: 2408 = 23 x 7 x 43. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13. (There are three levels of factors.)

The Words Of Zechariah 9:12

List of words:
314 378 281 516 43 61 57 395 313 50

1.1The first and last words: 364 = 22 x 7 x 13.

1.2.1Every other word (odd positioned):

314 281 43 57 313

Total: 1008 = 24 x 32 x 7. SF: 21 = 3 x 7. SF: 10 = 2 x 5. SF: 7.

1.2.2Even positioned words:

378 516 61 395 50

Total: 1400 = 23 x 52 x 7.

1.3The words can also be placed in two groups, as odd and even valued, but in this case no feature is found. However, odd and even is dependent on the last digit of a number. A different form of odd and even can be found in first digit of a number.

1.3.1Words where the first digit is odd:

314 378 516 57 395 313 50

Total: 2023 = 7 x 172.

1.3.2Words where the first digit is even:

281 43 61

Total: 385 = 5 x 7 x 11.

1.4God’s name counts through the passage once.

Letter from the name:       10 5  6   5
Count:                      10 15 11  6
Count adjusted to 10 words: 10 5  1   6
Word found:                 50 43 314 61

Total: 468 = 22 x 32 x 13.

1.5Two symmetrically positioned groups of words can be found, from the beginning and from the end of the passage.

1.5.1From the beginning (2nd word to the 5th):

314 378 281 516 43 61 57 395 313 50

Total of the selected words: 1218 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 29.

1.5.2From the end (2nd last to the 5th last):

314 378 281 516 43 61 57 395 313 50

Total of the selected words: 826 = 2 x 7 x 59.

1.5.3.1The two sets together: 2044 = 22 x 7 x 73. SF: 84 = 22 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7. This produces three levels of factors.

1.5.3.2The difference between the two sets: 1218 − 826 = 392 = 23 x 72. This produces an extra factor of 7.

1.5.4Why is it from the 2nd to the 5th? Because 2 + 5 = 7.

1.6When the words are added one by one, there are only two instances where the accumulated total is divisible by 7. This happens with the 3rd word and the 10th word.

Word position:     1   2   3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10
Word value:        314 378 281  516  43   61   57   395  313  50
Accumulated total: 314 692 973s 1489 1532 1593 1650 2045 2358 2408s

It only happens at the 3rd and 10th word positions because 3 + 10 = 13.

1.7Like The Proclamation, even the first and last letters of each word have a feature.

1.7.1The first and last letters of each word: 637 = 72 x 13. There are two factors of 7, and a factor of 13. There are no other factors.

1.7.2The first letter of each word:

Position: 1   5  11 16 21 23 27 31 35 39
Letter:   300 30 1  5  3  5  40 40 1  30

Total of the letters: 455 = 5 x 7 x 13. (The total of their positions: 209.)

1.7.3The last letter of each word:

Position: 4 10 15 20 22 26 30 34 38 40
Letter:   6 50 10 5  40 40 4  5  2  20

Total of the letters: 182 = 2 x 7 x 13. (The total of their positions: 239.)

1.7.4The positions of the first and last letters: 448 = 26 x 7.

1.7.4.1The positions of the first and last letters of the first and last words: 84 = 22 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.

1.7.5All this means letters that are not first or last in a word also have a feature.

Position: 2 3 6 7  8   9 12 13 14  17  18  19 24 25 28 29 32  33 36  37
Value:    6 2 2 90 200 6 60 10 200 400 100 6  10 6  3  10 300 50 300 10

Total of the letters: 1771 = 7 x 11 x 23.

The Letters Of Zechariah 9:12

2The letters mirror the words and have some of the same types of features.

2.1Every other letter (odd positioned):

300 2 30 90 6 1 10 10 400 6 3 5 6 40 10 40 50 1 10 30

Total: 1050 = 2 x 3 x 52 x 7.

2.2Every other letter (even positioned):

6 6 2 200 50 60 200 5 100 5 40 10 40 3 4 300 5 300 2 20

Total: 1358 = 2 x 7 x 97.

2.3Odd valued letters:

1 5 5 3 5 3 5 1

Total: 28 = 22 x 7.

2.4Even valued letters:

2.10Alpha and Omega, first and last, are complementary opposites like odd and even. There are also opposites of big and small, or most and least. This shows up in the number of occurrences of each letter.

Letter value: 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 20 30 40 50 60 90 100 200 300 400

Six letters occurred only once (the least):
4 20 60 90 100 400

Two letters occurred five times (the most):
6 10

The total of all these letters: 754 = 2 x 13 x 29.

2.11.1The letter 400 appeared only once. It is also the highest valued letter. It serves to divide the passage.

300 6 2 6 30 2 90 200 6 50 1 60 10 200 10 5 400 100 6 5 3 40 5 10 6 40 40 3 10 4 40 300 50 5 1 300 10 2 30 20

2.11.1.1From the beginning to 400 (including 400) the total is 1378 = 2 x 13 x 53.

2.11.1.2From 400 to the end the total is 1430 = 2 x 5 x 11 x 13.

2.11.1.3Adding the results of 2.11.1 and 2.11.2 would give the total of the passage with an extra 400: 1430 + 1378 = 2808 = 23 x 33 x 13. SF: 28 = 22 x 7. There is now an extra level of factors.

2.11.1.4The letter before 400 is 5, and the letter after 400 is 100. Before and after: 105 = 3 x 5 x 7.

The highest valued letter is perfectly positioned.

2.11.2.1Unlike the highest value 400, the lowest value 1 appeared twice. While the highest value brings out what is before it and after it, the lowest value emphasizes what is between its first and last appearances.

300 6 2 6 30 2 90 200 6 50 1 60 10 200 10 5 400 100 6 5 3 40 5 10 6 40 40 3 10 4 40 300 50 5 1 300 10 2 30 20

Total of the 23 letters: 1352 = 23 x 132. (If the letter 400, which is between the two 1s is discounted, the total is 952 = 23 x 7 x 17.)

2.11.2.2.1The first and last letters of the highlighted section: 60 + 5 = 65 (5 x 13).

2.11.2.2.2Note the letter before the first appearance of 1, and note the letter after the last appearance of 1: 50 + 300 = 350 (2 x 52 x 7).

2.11.2.3.1The odd valued letters in the highlight:

5 5 3 5 3 5

Total: 26 = 2 x 13.

2.11.2.3.2The even valued letters in the highlight:

60 10 200 10 400 100 6 40 10 6 40 40 10 4 40 300 50

Total: 1326 = 2 x 3 x 13 x 17. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.

Just like 400, the letter 1 is precisely positioned in the passage.

2.12Gather the letters into groups of five and add up each group.

2.12.1Odd valued groups of 5:

1 60 10 200 10
40 40 3 10 4

Total: 378 = 2 x 33 x 7.

2.12.2Even valued groups of 5:

300 6 2 6 30      2 90 200 6 50     5 400 100 6 5
3 40 5 10 6       40 300 50 5 1     300 10 2 30 20

Total: 2030 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 29.

2.13.1Perimeter: 1925 = 52 x 7 x 11. SF: 28 = 22 x 7.

2.13.2Inside: 483 = 3 x 7 x 23.

2.13.3Odd columns: 1050 = 2 x 3 x 52 x 7.

2.13.4Even columns: 1358 = 2 x 7 x 97.

2.13.5Checker: 1568 = 25 x 72.

2.13.6Opposing checker: 840 = 23 x 3 x 5 x 7. SF: 21 = 3 x 7.

2.13.7First and last rows: 945 = 33 x 5 x 7. SF: 21 = 3 x 7.

2.13.8Eight corners: 754 = 2 x 13 x 29.

2.13.9The two middle columns and the middle row: 1050 = 2 x 3 x 52 x 7.

The big difference between the first part (Zechariah 9:9 with Matthew 21:4-5) and the last part (Zechariah 9:12) is with the first and last letters of each word. No numeric feature is found in the first part with the first and last letters of each word. The first part is the prophecy of Jesus' coming and the fulfillment of his coming. The second part is the return of The Hope and God guarantees it by having the first and last letters of each word producing numeric features. This tells us Jesus is not God.

Conclusion

It will soon be almost 2000 years since Jesus' first coming. The Jews still do not recognize Jesus, and the Muslims say Jesus was only a great teacher. Even Christians are divided when war breaks out between Israel and Palestinians.

What can be said about Israel's war with the Palestinians since 1948? God tells us He cares about the land, and He watches over it year round (Deuteronomy 11:12). He is God of justice and against oppression (Isaiah 1:17; Ezekiel 45:9). It is a serious matter to practice injustice and oppression before God’s eyes. What Israel has done to the Palestinians is extremely unjust and oppressive, especially since the Palestinians are most likely descended of Ephraim. God warned Israel their men of violence would fail (Daniel 11:14). War and violence are not the way.

What is the way? It is the way of peace. As Jesus said, Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:9). In recent history, the Chechen people, who are Muslim, fought for independence against Russia. Both sides reached out to make peace, and today Chechens are in the Russian army fighting against Ukraine, and neo-Nazis.

There were Tibetans and Uighers who fought against China. Today this is no longer the case. The Western world would like everyone to think Tibetans and Uighers are still heavily oppressed in China, but if this is true, no Muslim nation has officially complained to China, and only Tibetan exiles siding with the West believe it to be true.

Only the Western world slanders other nations as being dictatorships, unfair, and as being threats. There is the Iranian threat. There is the North Korean threat, the Chinese threat, the Russian threat, the terrorism threat, the Muslim threat, and so many others. No other nation slanders like the United States. No other nation has unilaterally sanctioned so many nations even though sanctions are by definition an act of war.

Israel, as a client nation of the United States, follows the same path of war and violence. If Russia and Chechnya, China and the Uighers could make peace, then peace was a possibility with Israel and the Palestinians as well. The men of violence on both sides ensured there would be no possibility of peace. War is costly in wealth and lives, and there is no guarantee violence will succeed. God has already told us this will fail. Peace will be difficult, especially when there are those on both side who have vowed to destroy the other. But if God has already told us war will fail, surely peace must be given a chance. It cannot be more costly than war, and it might very well succeed.

The Hope would seem to have been forgotten. God has not forgotten. The numbers in Zechariah 9:12 rival the numbers in The Proclamation (Exodus 34:6-7) in complementary opposites. This is God’s signature authenticating Zechariah 9:12. He assures us The Hope will return. Only then will there be the possibility of lasting peace. Only then will the world see that God keeps His word, and the reward will be more than we imagine it to be.

Thou meetest him that joyfully works righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways. Behold, thou wast angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved? (Isaiah 64:5)

How do we remember God in His ways? The Bible must be read, understood, studied and applied. Numbers alone will not prepare you to meet God.
