<h1>Gematria</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Steve-0.aspx'>Steve-0</a></strong><br /><p>The word "gematria" comes from the Greek word "geōmetriā" from which our English word "geometry" is derived. Peoples of ancient languages used the letters of their alphabets as numbers also. Gematria is a system for calculating the numerical values of words, and phrases of these duel purpose alphabets to find identical numerical values that bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself. The Biblical languages of Hebrew and Koine Greek as well as practically all other ancient languages used the letters of their alphabets as numbers. By copying this ancient practice, and using the numbering system of the most ancient language, Sumerian, which was based on increments of six, as a model, and applying it to our alphabet we come up with an English Gematria System ( A = 6, B = 12, C = 18, D = 24, E = 30, etc). The English Gematria System is based on the ancient Sumerian civilization's method of calculating. It is believed that the Sumerian civilization is the most ancient and that their system of counting was the very first. The Sumerian system can still be seen in our use of the foot (12 inches = 2 x 6) and yard (36 inches = 6 x 6), in our 24 hour clock (24 = 4 x 6), and our sexagesimal measurement of time (60 seconds, 60 minuets). All real Christians reject all forms of esotericism and occultism. The English Gematria is neither mystical nor occultic; but is rather revealed and open. God's own Word says, "Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Revelation 13:18) Please read carefully that this text does not say to try to find out who the Antichrist Beast is, but only to "count the number of the beast." The Gematria is meant to be the confirmation of established facts and nothing more. Therefore, the proper use of the two calculators below is to find Scriptural correlation between the words and phrases, and their numerical values. When using these calculators you should ask yourself, "What is the Scriptural significance of my words?" For example, in the Koine Greek of the New Testament the number of the Lord's name, Jesus, totals 888; while the is Antichrist's number is 666. If there is no Scriptural significance then the calculation is of no significance. In the Bible 6 is the number of man, and 8 is the number of new beginnings. Again, after taking all these factors into account English Gematria becomes a strong evidence that backs up established Biblical doctrine, and helps us gain insight into Bible interpretations by looking for words and phrases with the same values. Here are some numbers and words listed below under the new beginnings category. And many of them are interesting yet already known truths in the sacred Scriptures. CHRIST RECEIVED = 888 (John 1:11-13) SPIRIT BIRTH = 888 (John 3:5-8; Rev 21:6, 22:17) WASHING WATER = 888 Water is symbolic for God's Word. It is essential in order to be "born again by the water (baptism in Jesus' name) and the (following entrance of the) Holy Spirit." John 3:5, 4:10; Titus 3:5; Eph 5:26; 1 Jn 5:6-8; Rev 21:6, 22:17) SAVED IN JESUS = 888 (2 Tim 1:9) LAMB OF GOD SACRIFICE = 888 (John 1:29, 36) THE PASSOVER = 888 (1 Cor 5:7) LIVE IN CHRIST = 888 (Rom 6:8; Gal 2:20) MESSIAH FINISHED = 888 (John 17:4) FINISHED CROSS = 888 (John 19:30) FORGIVING KING = 888 (1 Tim 1:15-17; John 18:37) ETERNAL KINGDOM = 888 (2 Pet 1:11; Dan 7:18, 27; Ps 145:13) GEMATRIA: CODE OF GOD = 888 ENGLISH GEMATRIA = 888 SIMPLE ENGLISH = 888 LANGUAGE MIRACLE = 888 GOD'S NUMBERING = 888 Finally, we all can see further examples of this in the following words below. Jesus, 888, the dominical number. "Verily, verily, I say unto you," 888. The Lord God made, 888. Our apprehension and interpretation of the phenomena may be marked with many imperfections, and we are conscious that after all we have but touched the fringe of this great and important subject. One thing, however, is certain, and that is, that we have, in the Scripture of Truth, a revelation from God absolutely without error, and whatever difficulties we may encounter in seeking to understand it, they are all the outcome of our own infirmities. Of another thing we are also certain, that the Written Word cannot be separated from the Living Word, nor the spiritual meaning of the one understood without a living union with the other. May God bless and shine upon your paths always.</p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Gematria, Wikipedia, King James Version<p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Gematria_81969.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Gematria_81969.aspx</a></p>
