CRYPTIC & STRANGE - NYOBS 31.02


CRYPTIC & STRANGE
Hidden – Obscure – Veiled – Secret – What does all this stuff mean?

Cryptogram
  • ATBASH - There is a CRYPTIC form found in the Hebrew Bible called “Atbash” which is a method for making up words that mean something else. – Only the Lord knows why.
  • The first letter in the Hebrew alphabet is substituted with the last letter; the second letter is substituted with the next to the last and so forth.
  • The most famous cryptogram is in Jeremiah where Sheshach is cryptic for  Babylon
Jer 51:41 – Sheshach means Babylon
41 "How Sheshach will be captured, the boast of the whole earth seized! What a horror Babylon will be among the nations NIV

YHWH Omnipresent
  • For some reason that’s beyond my reasoning, the Israelites loved to sit around and discuss signs, symbolisms and mystical numbers; the Bible is crammed full of HIDDEN numerical meanings.
  • YHWH (YAHWEH – Jehovah) has a numerical value of 10,5,6,5 which when each number is squared gives a total numerical value of 186.
  • This is the numerical value of MQWM which means PLACE; reminding the priest that God is everywhere – He is Omnipresent.  – So interesting, but FAR OUT for me.
Jer 23:24 – He is ever Present Omnipresent
24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. NIV

The Sign of the Fish
  • Jesus had told his disciples that He would make them FISHERS OF MEN.
  • The word Fish in Greek is ICHTHUS which is an acronym – I IesousC ChristosH Huios T Theou - H HuiosS Soter which in Greek is the phrase Jesus Christ, of God the Son, Savior.
  • With the Christians being persecuted by the Romans, the sign of the fish became sort of a secret sign or password among Christians to identify each other. 
  • This sign of the fish could be seen as graffiti on a tomb or rock or wall identifying where a “House Church” would meet as well as was marked in the sand with the foot or staff. – It was made with two arches – One person would inconspicuously draw the first arch and the stranger would complete it; thus identifying themselves to be in good company.
  • The “153” fish caught in a net was a secret number identifying the fishing NET as symbolic of “The Plan of Salvation”  See the Books “Theomatics” or “God’s Arithmetic”
Matt 4:19-20 – The followers would be fishers of men
19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
20 At once they left their nets and followed him. NIV
John 21:11 – The Net is the symbol of the plan of salvation
11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. NIV
INRI-The Plaque
  • It was the practice to write the CHARGE against a person that was crucified.  They placed a plaque on the cross above Jesus’ head in Hebrew, Latin and Greek with the charge that He WAS The King of the Jews. – The Chief Priest protested, wanting words to be added to the plaque that said that “He CLAIMED” to be King of the Jews, not WAS the King of the Jews.
  • The Latin word INRI represents the phrase Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
Matt 27:37 – INRI – The plaque
37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. NIV
John 19:21-22 – Write He CLAIMED to be King of the Jews
21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write The King of the Jews, but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews."
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." NIV

The Forth Dimension
  • Great Pyramid – How did they build it – no tools have ever been found – The stone quarries in Syene were about 600 miles from Gaza. – How did they get them there – Just for fun, consider Specific Levitation – There is a record of an Axe head that “BY THOUGHT” levitated and floated to the top of the water. NYOBS 19.02 GREAT PYRAMID
  • Space and Time Transport – There is Biblical record of Philip being transported to another city and a ship zapping to the other side of the sea coast. NYOBS 01.15 –  FOURTH DIMENSION
Isa 19:19-21 – There will be a pillar in Egypt- PYRAMID
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day. KJV
2 Kings 6:5-6 –Axe head floats on water – gravity suspended
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! For it was borrowed.
6 ….where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. KJV
Acts 8:39-40 – Philip zaps through it - “Beam me up Scotty”
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. KJV
John 6:19-21 – Jesus and the Disciples Zap through it.
19 When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid."
21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading. NIV

  • Septuagint means seventy – Oddly enough as time moved on, most of the Jews had come to speak Greek and not Hebrew and a translation of the Torah was needed for them. – Six Jews from each of the twelve tribes (72) came together to compose this book. – So the Septuagint is the Hebrew Bible in Greek.
  • Semitic terminology comes from the name of Noah’s oldest son Shem and his offspring – So the Jews as well as the Arabs are both Semitic. – Go figure
