Universal Oblation Continued

Adapted and embellished from:

'Η ΜΝΗΜΗ is a mnemonic for the value 154

which is the side of a square 

enclosed by the sun's orbit

the perimeter of this square being 616

 a "mystical" number

which appears in some early manuscripts of the

Apocalypse instead of the number 666. 

The word 'ΑΜΑΡΤΙΑ - sin  

again is a mnemonic for the number 453, 

and a cross, whose limbs are each 226 1/2

makes up the length 453 

226 1/2 X 2 = 453  and 

226 1/2 x 9 1/2 = 2151

ΣΥΜΦΟΡΑ (calamity) 

a mnemonic for the value 1311

 has the same numerical

value as Tetragammaton

whose numerical significance 

is dealt with elsewhere below. 

ΣΥΝΕΣΙΣ

a conflux; a uniting; a coming together

is a mnemonic for the value 1065

 which is about three times the number of

days in the Lunar Year = 353/4

 and 'Η ΣΥΝΕΣΙΣ 

when unity is added

 to each word, gives 1075 1/2 

 the arm of a cross which 

measures 2151 the number of years

in the Great Month. 

'ΑΜΑΘΙΑ

unlearnedness; uneducatedness; wilful ignorance; 

ignorance disguised as wisdom

is a mnemonic for the value of 62 

and 62 X 9 1/2 = 592  it is also the side of a

rhombus/square whose perimeter is 248

 while ΑΚΟΛΑΕΣΙΑ - LICENTIOUSNESS

is a mnemonic for the number 333

 a number equal to the

diagonal of the New Jerusalem and the limb of a

cross which measures 666

It may be said, that all these words by their

numerical value refer to motion, in having an

agreement with the measures of the celestial

bodies, in spite of the assurances of Plato that they

express rest and not motion.

Before the

Christian era, the Greeks had been in the habit of

summing up their theology in a Triad, or Tetrad

of symbolical persons, who, it appears, were always

analogous to the great Triad of the Cabala. Many

such combinations of names are to be found in

Plato's writings. In the "Timaeus" the divine

Triad is called: 

Θεοσ, Λογοσ and Ψυχη — 

The God, the Word, and the Soul 

The "Christian Fathers"

then identified these with their own 'Trinity'

 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 

And when the various names

 are reduced to numbers, it

will be evident that Plato and Moses, as the

Fathers declared, established their 'theology' upon

a similar cosmic basis, each deriving the "divine"

names from the numbers which occur in the "Holy

Oblation," the "New Jerusalem" and the other

"canonical figures".

The three names of the Platonic Triad have the

following values :

 Θεοσ =  284 + 1

Λογοσ =  373 + 1

Ψυχη = 1708 + 1

================

The sum is      2365 +3 = 2368

  Θεοσ. .  284

Λογοσ  . . 373

==============

                              Sum to  657 - 1 = 656 ΜΕΣΣΙΑΣ

It would, perhaps, be impossible to illustrate the

doctrine of the Trinity more ingeniously than by

those names and their corresponding numbers.

For 284, representing the first person, the Father,

or Macrocosm, is the diameter of a circle 892 in

circumference, and 891 is the numerical 

equivalent of 

the mnemonic 'ΟΥΡΑΝΟΣ - Heaven 

Accordingly the numbers deduced from those two words

 being each the measure of one circle, 

"God" and 'Heaven' are presented to us as one

 and the same—a conception

admirably set forth by the rest of the numbers.

Then 284 is the width of a vesica 492 4/5 long, and

this is the width of a vesica 853 long, which in its

turn is the width of another vesica 1480 long

 So the name,

Θεος the 'god' of the Pagan and Christian Greeks,

expresses, in a roundabout way, the same number

and the same meaning  as the name 

"Christos"  Χριστος mnemonic for the value 1480

The second and third persons, called Λογοσ - Logos and

Ψυχη - Psyche, represent the twofold body of the Microcosm, 

and are appropriately symbolized by the

number 2083 = 373 + 1 + 1708 + 1

the side of the Holy Oblation

 containing the seven planets and the sublunary world.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The vision referred to at the end of Ezekiel's 

prophecies is the 'mystical' description of 

The "land of Canaan"

(Ezekiel ch xlviii)

oblation a set of 

co-cocentric

forms

three squares 

and

five circles

containing

an additional

four     circles

the centers of which

are co centric with the 

center circle of the oblation

The 'city of Jerusalem' is there described

as being surrounded by a four square figure

called the Holy Oblation

which is said to be 25000 'reeds' on every side

the suburbs of the 'city' are enclosed by a square

whose sides are 5000 reeds and the 

'city' in the middle measures 4500 reeds

on every side.

Beyond the "suburbs" on the north and south 

a space of 25000 x 10000 reeds was alotted to the 

"priests and levites"

Now, if the sides of the three squares

be divided by 12 — the number of the tribes

25000 / 12 = 2083 1/3

5000 / 12 = 416 2/3 

4500 / 12 = 375      

it will be found that the "city" exactly contains the

sun's orbit*

*The "orbit of the sun" is the 'orbit of the earth'

 as used regularly throughout this treatise and

 852,584 is the value used throughout

this  discussion  as the  "diameter

of the sun" rather than 864,000

the difference being ~13/1000.

the  current  estimate  of

the  diameter  of  the 

earth  to sun  orbit 

 ~ 93,000,000 x 2  

= 186,000,000

/ 864000 =

215.2777

 together with the orbit of Venus,

shown in the four quarters according to the 

Egyptian system, and probably represents the wheels of

the four living 'creatures' seen in the first vision of

Ezekiel. The orbit of Saturn**, being about 2046

** estimate of the diameter of the 

orbit of saturn around the sun

to the diameter of the sun

1,780,000,000

/ 864,000

 miles

= 2060.18

diameter of the sun is contained within the outer

square whose sides are 2,083. 

the measure 2,083 1/3 is a mean between

the numbers 2093  and 2073.

Let it therefore be

taken for granted that the Holy Oblation is a

square enclosed by two lines, which are re-pre-

sented by the mean dimension 2,083 1/3. The outer

line, which measures 2,093, 1s the side of a square

having an area 4,380,649 double the area

of the square which has a side of 1480

1480^2 = 2,190,400

4,380,649 - 2,190,400 = 2,190,249

That is to say, a circle inscribed within

the square of sides 2093 exactly contains 

a square whose sides are 1,480

2093 / 1.414 = 1480.19

 and this circle will be assumed to

be the sphere of the zodiac or firmament. The

side of the inner square, again, measuring 2073,

is 1/12 th of the earth's circumference measured

in miles. 

2073 x 12 = 24876

The numerical value of the "name" ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ

CHRisTOS is 1480, and the 'mystery' of this number

appears to be that it supplies the measure of

"God's body" extending crosswise throughout the

whole universe. The "wisdom" of the number 666

conveys the same "theological secret", for 666 is the

diameter of a circle having a circumference of 2093

666 x 3.1427 = 2093.0382

The Greeks appear to have concealed a similar

knowledge in the names of the planets, as recorded

in the Epinomis of Plato, who calls the five planets

ΧΡΟΝΟΣ 1090 ΖΕΥΣ 612 'ΑΡΗΣ 309  'ΑΦΡΟΔΙΤΗ  993 

and ΗΡΜΕΣ  353

 if the sun ΗΛΙΟΣ  318

and the moon, ΣΕΛΗΝΗ  301

 be included, the sum

of the numbers obtained from the seven names is

1090 + 612 + 309 + 993 + 353 + 318 + 301 = 3976 

a number which is one less than the radius

of a circle 25000 in circumference.

3976 x 2 x 3.14387 = 25000.05

 Now the side

of the Holy Oblation, according to Ezekiel, is

25000 reeds and 25000 / 12  = 2083 1/3

But a far more striking coincidence arises from

the addition of the numbers deduced from the

"names": 'ΕΜΠΥΡΕΙΟΝ  760, 'ΑΙΘΗΡ 128, and

 ΣΤΟΧΕΙΑ 1196, for the sum of these amounts

to 2084, or the mean length of the side of the

"Holy Oblation"

2083 + 1

In the same way the geometrical figure called

the "New Jerusalem" in the Apocalypse will be

found to contain the sun's orbit and that of

Mercury. Francis Potter, who published a book

on "the number 666" in 1647, alludes to the 

mysteries of this "celestial city". He tell us, that the

144 cubits ascribed to the wall are to be taken as

the area of its section—the wall being 12 cubits

high and 12 cubits broad. 

and 12 x 12 = 144

The other Measurement given is that in 

ch. xxi., v. 16:

"And the 'city'

 lieth four square, and the length is as large as

the breadth  and he measured the city with the

reed 12,000 furlongs. The length, and the breadth,

and the height of it are equal." Francis Potter

explains, that the 12,000 furlongs σταδια are to

be taken as the contents of a cube, but his 

calculations as to its size are obscure. 

However 12,000 furlongs = 7,920,000 feet 

12,000 x 660 = 7,920,000

and the cube root of this number is about 199 1/3 or

roughly 200, which gives the length of one side of

the cube. The  area of the city is therefore a square

nearly 200 feet on every side, surrounded by a

wall 12 cubits, or 18 feet wide, which increases the

outside dimensions to 235 1/3 feet.

 This figure appears to be 

a Christian variation of the Hebrew

city of Ezekiel, and so it is interpreted by Francis

Potter. For it will be found, that it incloses the

sun's orbit together with that of Mercury, drawn in

each of the four corners of the square. It is well

known that the four beasts, which appear in the

midst of the four wheels in Ezekiel's vision, are 

identical with the four symbols ofthe Evangelists

 and the devices upon the four standards of the Camp of

the Israelites, where they stand for

 the four corner signs of the Zodiac

—Taurus Leo Scorpio and Aquarius

 

In a thirteenth century manuscript of

the Apocalypse in the British Museum (MSS. Add.

18,633), there is a miniature of the city of the "New

Jerusalem" showing the three persons of the Trinity

in the midst of a square having the four symbols

of the Evangelists depicted in the four corners, 

corresponding to the four orbits of Mercury. This

peculiar arrangement constantly recurs in early

Christian art. Usually "the Christ" is surrounded

by 'the Vesica', and it is a remarkable fact, that a

Vesica, whose length is equal to that of 'the city'

 

in the above diagram, coincides with the four

circles of Mercury's orbit, and consequently pro-

duces a geometrical figure exactly resembling the

common method of representing "Christ in Glory".

The circumferences of the two circles which form

the Vesica being nearly 360, they maybe taken to

represent the two intersecting circles of the equator

forming 'the ecliptic'. Some interpreters, according to

Francis Potter, take the 12,000 furlongs to be the

area of the city, and therefore he says,

"that the perimeter or compass 

of such an area must be
436 furlongs at the least" 

the side being about 109 furlongs.

 And since 109 is roughly the radius of the

sun/earth orbit measured by the sun's diameter

93,000,000 / 864,000 = 107.63

 the "New Jerusalem" 

is doubly shadowed forth as a vision of

"the city of the Sun" In ch. xxi., v. 9,

that great "city"

 

the "holy Jerusalem" descending out of Heaven"

is called "'the Bride' the 'Lamb's wife' and her light

was like unto a stone most precious, even like a

jasper stone, clear as crystal." 

The 'bride' of the Cabala was called 

adni or thora, and it is evidently

she whom St. John is describing under the figure

of the "heavenly city". The name 'Tarot' has been

derived from the Hebrew word thora - the law and

it is a further confirmation of the cosmic import

of this diagram that the hieroglyph of the twenty-

second card of the Tarot-pack, called" Le Monde,"

represents the four symbols of the Evangelists

surrounding a Vesica, inclosing the figure of a

'young virgin'. Moreover the circle which surrounds

the "city" has a circumference of 888, the numerical

value of the mnemonic-name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ - Jesus.

Again, Francis Potter constantly connects the

"New Jerusalem" with the number 666, and this

may be explained by the fact that its diagonals

measure  333 x 2 = 666, and the cross thus

formed symbolized what he calls the Antichrist.

If the inferences just drawn from the numbers

ascribed to

 the Holy Oblation and the "New Jerusalem"

 be correct, it is obvious that these diagrams

afford a positive evidence of the knowledge 

possessed by the Hebrews and Christians concerning

the magnitude and distances of the heavenly

bodies. The position of these figures in the

Canonical Scriptures also conclusively demonstrates

a connection between 'the-ology' and cosmic science.

For while the extent of the ancient knowledge of

astronomy has still to be proved, no one can 

reasonably doubt that the old the-ological systems

were largely concerned with, if not actually founded

upon, the-order of the universe, which in its 

en-tirety supplies the only comprehensible manifestation

 of the Deity evident to the senses of man-kind.


In the statement of Origen, already quoted, he

refers to the Camp, as well as the "Holy Oblation",

and hints that a similar interpretation applies to

both. The description, of which he speaks, occurs

in the second chapter of Numbers, where it is

said that the Israelites pitched their camp round

the Tabernacle. They were grouped in four

companies composed of three tribes, each under a

'standard'. The 'standard' of Judah was set at the

east, that of Reuben at the south, that of Ephraim

at the west, and that of Dan at the north. 

Judah's 'standard' bore a lion

 Reuben's bore a mandrake,

Ephraim's a bull,

 and Dan's a serpent. 

The total number of the 'whole army' distributed under

the 'standards' was 603,550 (v. 32).

Villalpanda ("In Ezek." vol. ii., p. 470) gives

a diagram of the camp 

(reproduced by Kircher
CEdip tom. ii., pars i, p. 21, and Sir W.
Drummond "CEdipus Judaicus" plate 15) 

in the form of a square, with the signs of the zodiac

arranged round it, three on every side. Each of

the twelve tribes is identified with one of the signs,

and the 'standards' are allotted to the four tribes

which occupy the corners of the square, whose

corresponding signs are Leo, Aquarius, Taurus,

and Scorpio. The four corner signs of the Zodiac

were afterwards assigned as the symbols of the four

evangelists, beginning with Aquarius (Matthew),

Leo (Mark), Taurus (Luke), and Scorpio, changed

to an eagle (John). Villalpanda's diagram

contains, besides the Zodiac, the symbols of the seven

planets and four elements, thus comprising the

whole cosmic system which has been supposed to

be included in "the Holy Oblation".

 The arrangement

 of the squares in which the symbols are

placed suggests that if the solution of the 'mystery'

is no more and no less than

a geometrical one as it depends upon and

is exactly

'the problem'

"of squaring the circle"

 For the old method of finding the diameter of a circle 

whose area was equal to a given square 

was to divide the diagonal of

 the square into ten parts

 and to take eight for

 the diameter of the circle.

 The division of the camp in 

Villalpanda's diagram is into ten equal

squares, the space between each of the squares

bearing the-symbol of the-Zodiac upon it, being a

double square. Therefore, a circle touching the

inner angle of the four corner signs has an area

equal to the area of 'the-camp'. Now, by dividing

603,550 the-number of the-Israelites by 12 

"we get" - 50295 5 / 6 

which is nearly equal to the-length of

the-two diagonals of the-square, whose area is

half that of "the Holy Oblation".

The-diagonal of this square being 

50295 / 2 = 25147 1/2

and taking as in the case of the Holy Oblation

1 / 12 of this number to be the length required

we get 

25147 / 12 = 2095 7 / 12 

or very nearly the diagonal of a square whose

sides are 1480 x 1.414 = 2092 18 / 25

The diagonal of such a square is about 2093

which has been 

suggested as the-extreme measure of 

"the Holy Oblation".

 

Now a circle having an

area equal

to that of a square 

whose sides are 1480, and

whose diagonal is 2093

1480 x 1.414 = 2092.72

has a diameter of 1674

when we 

divide the diagonal of
 the square into ten parts

 and to take eight

2093 / 10 = 209 3 / 10  x 8 = 1674 2 / 5

And the square

enclosing this circle has a diagonal of 2368, which

is the numerical equivalent of the name

ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ

IESOUS CHRiSTO = 

888 + 1480 = 2368

ΙΗΣΟΥΣ + ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ =

     10+8+200+70+400+200 + 600+100+10+200+300+70+200

 A simpler explanation

 is that the square root of 603,550 is

776 8 / 9 

where 8/9 = .888 = mnemonic ΙΗΣΟΥΣ

and this number is the perimeter of the

Holy Oblation if the sun's distance be taken at 10.

If this be the true interpretation of the numbers,

the representation of the camp given by Villal-

panda exactly agrees with the result. For the

square 1480 being inscribed within the sphere

of the Zodiac the arrangement of the signs as the

border of the square appropriately notifies that

fact, and the addition of the seven planets and the

four elements makes the diagram a conventional

picture of the three divisions of the universe which

correspond to the 'three persons' of the cabalistic

triad symbolized by the numbers

 2368   1480   888 

These are the three great canonical numbers

of antiquity, and they are exemplified by the three

mystical geometric diagrams just described. 

'The camp' may

be said to symbolize 'the number'

 

2368 = ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ - iesovs CHRiSTOs 

'the Holy Oblation' may be referred

to 'the number' 

1480 - ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ - christos

 and 'the Heavenly' "City of the Bride"

being inclosed in 'a circle' - ΙΗΣΟΥΣ = 888

in circumference, may be accepted as 'the symbol'

of the number 888 = ΙΗΣΟΥΣ - iesovs

 Generally the third

person of the Trinity represented the sublunary

world or four elements only, but in the Pythagorean

system 'she' also personified 'the sun', whose orbit,

as has been shown, is contained in "her city" 

described by St. John.

=========================================

The sum of the three numbers, when unity is

added to each, is the ever-recurring 2368 which

the Christians afterwards adopted as the complete

name of God, expressed by the mnemonic

ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ - Jesus Christ.

It is plain that the threefold deity of Plato 

embodies in the persons of the Triad the three parts

of the universe called:

ΕΜΠΥΡΕΙΟΝ  = 760

          ΑΙΘΗΡ = 128  

   ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΑ = 1196

===============

      sum to 2084

ΕΜΠΥΡΕΙΟΝ  = 760

         ΑΙΘΗΡ = 128

  =================

             sum to 888

       ΘΕΟΣ = 284 

ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΑ = 1196

=================

         sum to 1480

The Empyreion from the Ancient Greek word empyros

"one who is in the fire" 

traditionally refers to the highest heaven

 of ancient and medieval cosmologies

 which was considered the place 

occupied by the pure element of fire or aether

 In Christian cosmology and in works such as

 Dante's Divine Comedy, it is identified with the seat of "God"

And since the sum of these numbers is 2084

it was unnecessary for a Greek to specify the

measures of the cosmos otherwise than 

by repeating the three mnemonics

According to some of the old cosmographers

there was a region beyond the Empyreum. This

was called by the Cabalists Ain Soph, or limitless

expansion, an impossible conception usually 

ascribed as an attribute of "God". If, therefore, we

add the word ΘΕΟΣ - "God" as symbolizing this 

infinite region, beyond the three lower and nearer

divisions, which manifest the "Deity" to us in a more

comprehensible manner, we shall extend 

the universe to four parts. 

And 284 ΘΕΟΣ  added to 2084

makes 2368 the numerical value of the Tetrad.

Again, the sum of 760 and 128 is 888, 

and 1196 + 284 = 1480

 so that from the "names" of the four

divisions of the universe there are produced the

numbers which, as will now be shown, determined

the names of the great "gods" of antiquity, and thus

labelled them as personifications of specific parts

of the cosmic geometric system.

The Christian Trinity, composed in like manner,

yields the number 2047 when unity is deducted

from each name which is the diameter of Saturn's

orbit measured by the diameter of the sun.

               'Ο ΠΑΤΗΡ ... 559 - 1

                Ο ΥΙΟΣ ...   750-1

ΚΑΙ ΠΝΕΥΜΑ ΑΓΙΟΝ ...  741 - 1

==============================

                               sum to  2050 - 3 = 2047

In works of art the Trinity was most often 

represented by Jesus on the cross, supported by John

and Mary. The three names combined thus bring

out 2151 = the number of years occupied by the sun

in each of the twelve signs, during the precession

of the equinoxes, or great year

            ΙΗΣΟΥΣ .... 888

                  ΙΩΑΝΗΣ .... 1069 + 1  

                                ΜΑΡΙΑΜ ..... 192 + 1                

           ====================

                              Sum to   2149 + 2 = 2,151

and exhibit the Messiah stretched within the

Holy Oblation containing the sphere of the

Zodiac and seven planets.

It has already been explained that the value of

the mnemonic Christos = 1480 being the side of a square

inscribed within the Zodiac or fixed stars, gives

the measure of "his body" extended in the form

of a cross through out the whole universe. 

Surrounded thus by the twelve signs, "he" represents

the Messiah, or periodic Divinity, connected with

the cycle of the great precessional period of 25,816

years. A month of this great year is 2151 years

258i6 / 12 =  2151 

and It IS supposed that the

ancients accepted the particular sign, in which the

sun rose at the vernal equinox, during this cycle,

as the symbol of the "Messiah". It is thought to

be on this account that the Egyptians worshipped

the black and white bulls. Apis and Mnevis, as

emblems of the Deity, when the sun was in

Taurus, while the Greeks called their

Zeus - 'ΑΜΜΩΝ - Ammon and gave him the head

of a ram, when the sun entered the sign Aries.

For Ammon has the value of 931, and 932.10 is

the length of a rhombus having a perimeter of

2151. 

This heralding of a new Messiah, every

month of the Great Year, had a peculiarly "mystical"

meaning. For having conceived the universe in

the likeness of a woman, they made their image or

type to conform literally to the original or archetype

 

and looked forward with joyful expectation

to the fulfilment of time, when a new "Saviour"

would come, and symbolically purge the 'sins' of

the world, and accomplish its renewal and regeneration.

We have seen that the twelve signs of the

Zodiac, according to Villalpanda's diagram of the

camp were identified with the twelve tribes of the

Israelites. The twelve tribes were considered by

the old theologians to prefigure the 'twelve apostles',

who were also said to be analogous to the signs of

the Zodiac. In the first century the sun had

passed from the Ram to the sign of the Fishes.

Now, taking the order of the apostles as it is given

by St. Mark (ch. iii.), and supposing Petros, the

fisherman, to correspond to 'ιχθυες (the fishes) the

"names of the apostles" represent the sequence of the

signs in the new epoch as follows:

Accordingly, when the Logos is stretched cross -

wise in the Zodiacal circle, so that the Ram occupies

the vernal equinox, "his hands and feet" extended

to the four corners of the circumference, are in

the signs of the Bull, the Lion, the Scorpion, and

the Water-bearer the four signs which correspond

to the four "beasts" symbolizing the "evangelists".

The names of the apostles analogous to these in

the new cycle are:

 Ιαχωβος Φιλιππος θωμας ανδ Σιμων 

The name δωδεκα - twelve, so frequently

applied to the disciples in the New Testament,

very fitly expresses their true significance by

the number 834, which is the side of a rhombus

1446 long, and the side of the square contained

in the orbit of Saturn, encircled by the twelve

signs.

The number deduced from the twelve pagan

names of the Zodiac, is the perimeter of a rhombus

2642 wide, which is produced by two intersecting

circles with a united width of 7926  the number

of miles in the equatorial diameter of the earth.

Accordingly, the number 10,569 affords the means

of correctly determining the distance of the twelve

signs on a terrestrial globe.

The apostles, again, belonged to the theological

system of the "Gospel", which presents the mythos

in the third manner (St. Clement), and on that

account they set forth the measure of the sublunary

world, the symbol of the third person of the Triad.

For the sum of the twelve names is 10,598, or the

circumference of the moon's orbit divided twice by

twelve 3,372 X 3 1/7 = 10,597

The Greek Zodiac, therefore, may be said to

denote the solar year, while the apostles of Messiah,

656, signify a lunar month, or lunar year.

Moreover, by the cabalistic process of 

transposition, the number 10,569 may become

 10,596 + 1 = 10,597 and 

is equal to 10,598 — i = 10,597

therefore the great Zodiac and the twelve disciples

of "Christos" are analogous to one another.

'ΙΗΣΟΥΣ - "Jesus" is a mnemonic for the number 888, 

which is the length of a rhombus having a perimeter of

2046 the diameter of Saturn's orbit. And a circle,

whose circumference is 888 contains the square of

"the New Jerusalem"

If the diameter of Saturns orbit is

~ 1,780,000,000 miles

and diameter of the sun is

864,000 miles

the ratio of diameters is 2060

1780 / .864 = 2060.18

The "new Jerusalem" is always the form

contained by the container

the inverse of the form 

containing the container

 length = 888 / 1.732 = 512.68 = side

 side = 512 x 4 = 2048 = perimeter

Rhombus is a pair of equilateral triangles

Rhombus is always contained in the vesica

"length" of the vesica is always

diameter of circle x root 3

"width" of the vesica  is always

the diameter of the circles

creating the vesica

the rhombus 'length' is the side length

multiplied by root three 1.732

Rhombus 'width' is the diameter of 

the containing circles

Circle circumference / 3.141

The Holy Ghost, the third person of the Chris-

tian Trinity, corresponds to the Bride of the

Cabala, and properly personifies the sublunary

world or four elements, and as the embodiment of

the receptive and reproductive principle in 

generation, she symbolized the earth, the mother of all

living creatures. Now, ΤΟ ΠΝΕΥΜΑ ΑΓΙΟΝ -"the

Holy Ghost" has the value of 1080, which is the

number of miles in the moon's radius. "She" is

thus also a personification of the moon, whom the

ancients regarded as the 'wife' or 'sister' of the sun.

Again, ΠΝΕΥΜΑ ΑΓΙΟΝ without the article, yields

 after deducting unity from each name 708, and a

saltire cross drawn within a square, whose sides are

708 2/3 measures 1,002 x 2 = 2,004, the numerical

value of the Greek names of the elements.*

*See Ch vi Page 142

The "Saltire Cross" are the diagonals of the square

the diagonal of the square is always equal to 

the side length x root 2 Αρετη = 1.414

708.66 x 1.414 = 1002.045

The square of side 708.66

has area 708.66. x 708.66

502,198.9956 rounded up

= 502,200

the square of the diagonals

something any Ancient Egyptian

"priest" worth his salt knew

by the time he was five years old

as His ancestors would have passed

this basic information along for

at least 2000 years by then

 The

number 708 

is also the measure of a cross whose

arms are 354 long which is 

the number of days in the lunar year.* 

*Also the value of mnemonic Ηρμεσ+ unity

 The "name" was also sometimes written

ΤΟ 'ΑΓΙΟΝ ΤΟ ΠΝΕΥΜΑ With the double addition of 

the mnemonic ΤΟ = 370 x 2  becomes a mnemonic for 

yields 710 + 740 = the number 1450 

and if unity be deducted from each

the remainder is 1450 - 4 = 1446 the side of a square

contained within the orbit of Saturn.

given the diameter of the orbit of Saturn as 2046

then 2046 / root 2 = 1446.74

 By this

number "she" is manifested as an image of the whole

material universe, and corresponds to the 

Ψυχη του Κοσμου  

the Soul of the World, described by Plato,

The Bride, likened by St, J6hn in the Apocalypse

to the Heavenly City, the new Jerusalem, is

another figure of the Holy Ghost

 and 710 = ΠΝΕΥΜΑ ΑΓΙΟΝ 

 is the length of a vesica 409 2/3 broad, and

409 1/15 is the length of a second vesica whose

breadth is 236, the length of the wall in each of

the four sides of the celestial city. Robert Flood

has beautifully illustrated the figure of this heavenly

woman, standing in the midst of the cosmos with

her feet upon the elements, and her head reaching

up to the firmament 

("Utriusque cosmi majoris

scilicet et minoris . . . historia," -1617)

There were also various other "names" applied

to the Christian Trinity singly or collectively.

The word Κυριοσ - "Lord", for instance, has the value

of 800, which is the perimeter of the New Jerusalem,

within the wall 200 x 4 = 800

None of the

"names given to Christ" was more often used than

that of the Saviour Ο Σωτηρ = 1478 and if unity be added to

each word, yields 1480. Jesus was said to be a

Nazarite, and he is frequently called "Jesus the

Nazarene". Now the word Ναζωραίος

is a mnemonic for the value 1239

which approximates to within 2 thousandths

the width of a vesica 2151 long.

It is evident that the numbers obtained from

all these names are common cosmic 

 measures derived by geometry from the canonical figures of

the "Holy Oblation", the "city of Ezekiel", and the

"New Jerusalem", all basic geometric constructions

identifying the "Deity" of geometry with the

measures of the universe.

To return to the" Kratylos," an analysis of the

statements which are made there with reference

to the names of the Greek "Deities" suggests, that

the same mystical principle of "naming the Gods"

existed among the Greeks. Plato says, that there

was reason in the Athenians calling "the essence

of all things" 'ΕΣΤΙΑ = 516

 Now the numbers

5ii.5 and 520.83 are respectively the sides of

rhombi whose perimeters are 2046, the diameter

of Saturn's orbit, and 2083.33 the side of the

"Holy Oblation". And the 516.16 being the mean

number between the two, may be very properly

said to represent the sphere of the fixed stars,

which was supposed by the old philosophers to

contain the vital essence of all existing things, and

was symbolized by the Christians in the name

Christos = 1480, "who" was supposed to be extended

crosswise within this sphere.

The mnemonic ΗΡΑ = 109 for 'Hera', Plato says, 

"may have been given" 

when the legislator was thinking of the

heavens, and may be only a disguise of the air

αηρ = 109 - 'air' putting the end in place of the beginning.

You will recognize the truth of this, if you repeat

the letters of 'ΗΡΗ = 116 several times over. 

Now 109 is the mean radius of the sun's orbit, its 

distance from the earth being from 108 to 110 of its

own diameters. 'HPH again has the value of 116.

And1 116 1/4 is the diameter of a circle 365, the num-

ber of days in a year. And when he tells us to

repeat the letters several times over, he apparently

means the numbers, which are the equivalents of

the letters, for all the following multiples of 116

are mystical numbers. 

116 x 2 = 232

116 x 6 = 696

 116 X 7 = 812

 116 X 8 =: 928

 and

116 X 9 = 1044 

These numbers will be referred

to and explained further on. For the present, it

is enough to say that Hera was the wife or

feminine part of the androgynous Zeus, whose

name we shall now proceed to examine. To use

Plato's own words," the name of Zeus has an ex-

cellent meaning although hard to understand, be-

cause really like a sentence which is divided into

two parts; for some call him ΖΗΝ, and use one

half, and others who use the other half call him

ΖΕΥΣ  the two together signify the nature of the

"God" And plato further declares, that these 'names'

are appropriate to, and symbolize "the God,

through whom all creatures always have life."

The numerical value of this double name is 677,

that is, ΖΗΝ = 65, + ΖΕΥΣ = 612 = 677, and we have

been told that its meaning is "hard to understand."

Nevertheless, by the help of geometry, it may be

possible to discover Plato's intention. The division

of the God into two is evidently intended to

exhibit his androgynous nature, the double name

ΖΗΝ-ΖΕΥΣ being equivalent to the Hebrew Elohim,

the twofold Deity of creation. The number 677,

when unity is added and subtracted, produces the

numbers 676 and 678. The first of these is the

square of 26, the value of Tetragammaton, while

678 is the length of the sun's orbit 

216 x 3 1/7 = 678

the former number having a feminine and

the latter a masculine significance.

The four letters, which compose the name ΖΕΥΣ

have been supposed to be analagous to the

 Tetragammaton of the Jews, accordingly it may be

received, in a geometrical sense, as an illustration

of the square or rhombus. Among the Romans and

 Italians of the Middle Ages, Zeus was identified

 with the planet Jupiter, and we find in the

series of the planets, designed by Baldini, that

Jupiter sits in his chariot on a cube, or square

seat. He is also depicted thus, in the edition of

Hyginus, printed at Venice in 1488. 

This quadrangular form, as an attribute of Zeus,

 is traceable to the number 612

 for a square, whose sides are 153 

for 153 X 4 = 612 is just contained within the

sun's orbit, so that the great 'God' of the Greeks,

by the numerical value of his name, in exemplifying

the measure of the sun's course, may fitly be 

received as the symbol of that animating power,

which flows from the sun, and gives life to all

things. Apparently in imitation of this, 

the Christians afterwards perpetuated 

the same conception,

by similarly placing Christos in a square, within

the sphere of the firmament. Such a striking

geometrical parallel between the two great gods

of antiquity is not likely to be an accidental 

circumstance, exhibiting no community of purpose

on the part of the legislators, as Plato calls them,

who devised and established the Greek and 

Christian theological systems. The number 612 was

also a mystical number among the Hebrews, who,

by adding unity produced the number 613.

The numbers produced from this

diagram are certainly remarkable. In the first

From P.

We are told by Plato in the "timaeus" that

the Creator compounded the world out of all the

fire, and all the water, and all the air, and all the

earth, leaving no part of any of them, nor any

power of them outside... in the centre, he put

the soul..  This entire compound he divided

lengthways into two parts, which he joined to

one another at the centre, like the letter X* 

* The letter Chi as a numeral = 600, which is the numerical

equivalent of the mnemonic Κοσμος And 601 is the width of a

vesica 1041! long, and the radius of the sphere of the zodiac

contained in the Holy Oblation.

and bent them into a circular form, connecting them

with themselves and each other at the point oppo-

site their original meeting point. This cross was

a symbol of the Logos, or invisible soul of the

world and his body being compounded of the

four elements, the size of the cross may be taken

to be 2004, the numerical value of the sum of 

four Greek words = 580 + 109 + 1304 + 11

  ΠΥΡ = 580 - fire, ΑΗΡ = 109 - air,

  ΥΔΩΡ = 1304 - water.  ΓΗ = 11 - earth 

The limbs of the cross

would therefore measure 1002 

( 2004 / 2 = 1002 )

After the Creator had divided the elements into

two strips, in the form of a cross, he bent them

into two circles one within the other. The 

circumferences of these two circles being 1002, their

diameters would be 

1002 / 3.141 = 319

319 x 3.141 = 1002

The two circles, crossing each other thus,

are generally thought to refer to the circles of the

equator and the ecliptic on the sphere of the earth.

And the number 2004 is the internal length of

an ark containing the ecliptic, measured on the

terrestrial globe. Consequently, by the measure

of this cross, Plato was enabled indirectly to 

introduce the actual movement of the 

point of the sun's  apparent path, 

as an attribute of the Logos. 

when these two circles  be made to form a vesica,

 

the rhombus inscribed within it has a perimeter

 of 1276 = 319 x 4 

 And 1276 is the numerical value of the

name Achilleus, the hero of the

Iliad. While

the united width of the two circles forming the

rhombus is 319 x 3 = 957 which is unity or 1 less

than the numerical value of 'Ο ΙΗΣΟΥΣ = 958.

 the imaginary 'divine Being' whose "life" 

forms the subject of the "gospel".

In the oldest representations of the crucifixion,

the four elements are constantly depicted at the

foot of the cross, while the sun and moon are placed

above the two arms. This invariable arrangement

exhibits the main features of the cosmos,

surrounding the body of the elemental "god", 

prefigured in the "Timaeus"

or Time As US.

 thirdly, 741 is the circumference

of a circle whose diameter is 236, the side of the

"New Jerusalem". lastly, the circumference of the

two circles surrounding the vesica is 

741 x 2 = i482

less unity for each =  1480

"The meaning of the name 'ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ 1061,

will be moving together, whether in the poles of

'heaven', as the arcs are called, or in the harmony of

song, which is termed concord, because "he" moves

altogether by the harmonious power, as astronomers

and musicians ingeniously declare. "By the

numerical value of the name ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ the "Sun God"

appears to be the counterpart of ΖΕΥΣ for a vesica

 as all vesica are ruled by root 3 = 1.73...

and 353 x 1.7338 = 612.0314

and 353 + 1061 = 1414 - root 2 x 1000

therefore each brother and their father 

appear to be complements of each other, and the

sum of their names is 612 + 1061 = 1673 or 1 less

than the side of a square whose diagonal is 2368.
