Lehk Lehkha

In this post we will show how the events in Lehk Lehka combine with those of Bereishit and Noach to cast perfectly symmetric shadows that correspond to the letters in God’s Name. Its a bit complicated and so this post is not recommended for everyone. You may wish to skip over it and read some of the other posts. Those who want to delve more deeply into certain types of patterns and peel back the layers of reality that hide the process, will have to contemplate what is presented here, to fully appreciate the connection these things have to the Name. I can only say that it is well worth the effort and that diagrams will be presented to help visualize the connections.

Before getting into this, we should mention for those who are new to this blog, that each of the essential constructs listed in the column to the right should be read first, before proceeding with any given post. These pages reveal some of the basic mathematic connections between the letters of God's Explicit Name and the multidimensional geometric characteristics of the luchot, both in the divided state and combined cubic form, along with the internal geometry that casts a shadow known as a magen david. There is a special connection between the Name, the luchot and the geometry of the magen, and together they form a unique signature. We refer to this geometry and its mathematic common denominator as the Signature of the Architect. The purpose of this blog is to show how all of these things connect, and to reveal where the signature geometry is hidden, not only in each week’s parashah, but the physics of time and space, quantum mechanics and celestial dynamics to name a few. Once you are familiar with these constructs you can more fully appreciate each post.

This particular post is not recommended at all unless you have a working knowledge of kabbalah. It's not necessary to fully understand it. However, you should at least be familiar with its terminology. We would also emphasize, at this point, that this post is offered solely to help the reader see the beauty in the mathematic symmetry of the creative process as it pertains to God's Name. It is otherwise quite complex.

We’ll start by looking at each element of the creation process using terminology that is generally reserved for the design and construction of a building. These elements include:

• The Architect (God)
• The Blueprint (Luchot/Torah)
• The Rungs of the Ladder (Sephirot))
• Building Blocks (Letters of Creation)
• The Building Itself (The End Result)

The first element in the process is the Architect Himself and He does not change. However, our knowledge of God may change, as well as our understanding of His Name. Human consciousness1 is a function of this knowledge and understanding.

The second element in the process is the Architect’s blueprint. It does not really change either, but different parts of it are being implemented in different places at different times. Our perception of it is dependent on “when” and “where,” so even though it does not change, our knowledge of it can change, and so can our understanding of its content. Human consciousness1 is once again a function of this knowledge and understanding.

The third element in the process are the rungs of the ladder employed by the builders (sephirot). These things are quite mysterious and we won’t get into their mechanics, except to say that we can perceive them in different ways and so they can appear to be in different places and positions with respect to one another (which is why they are often depicted differently) and so they too appear to change, although their function does not. The sephirot are perhaps best described as the way that God interacts with His creation. Human consciousness1 is a gift that is dependent on the way we interact with our Creator.

The fourth element in the process are the building blocks of creation (letters). The letters do not change either, although they can have different forms (so they can be written and pronounced differently). The letters are constantly being combined and permuted. Creation is an ongoing process that will be completed within 6 days (6,000 years). Human consciousness1 is highly dependent on these letters (not to mention the words and sentences they create which effect how we think) and they are specifically a function of understanding what is written in the Torah.

The fifth and last element in the process are the end result of the building process (what is being built) and events below that are the result of the four previous elements. All bear witness to His Name.

To briefly summarize these elements: 1) The Architect and His Signature; 2) His blueprint or luchot; 3) the "tools" or sephirot by which He interacts with the creation process; 4) the letters of creation that together define reality and dictate causality; and 5) the events and characteristics of the things that unfold over time (essentially the history of mankind).

There are in addition to these elements, multiple dimensions or phases through which they are perceived. So each of these components (or our perception of them) evolves over time. It is important to emphasize however, that time does not exist above (for the Architect) who sees the end from the beginning. Therefore, it only appears to evolve, to those of us down below who are subject to space-time. We will examine that evolution as it appears to us within our reference frame, because that is where the mathematic symmetry can be found connected to its source above. Let's take a closer look at each of these elements. Then we'll take a look at their mathematic symmetry.

The first element: We’ll start with the first element of the creation process, which is the Creator. The architect is of course unchanging. It is only our understanding of Him, His Name, His plan and that expectations that He has for man (our understanding of these things) that evolves over time. Those who wish to know God, should first know His Name2. That understanding has many dimensions. We will review four.

• The first dimension: In the Torah we see God’s Name as a one-dimensional string of letters. Specifically, a one-dimensional string of 216 contiguous letters (linguistically divided into 3 sentences of 72 letters). Most people read over these letters and do not even see the Name because it is hidden within the narrative (or story) in the verses. It’s there, but it remains hidden within the limitations of one-dimensional space. Man however, has the option of wanting to know God, and so He provides the means, but to know God you have to know His Name, and just as God is without beginning or end, so too is His Name. Moreover, just as God Himself transcends the limits of any given dimension, so too does His Name. It is certainly not limited to one-dimensional space. Enter the second dimension...       

• The second dimension: To perceive God’s Name in two dimensions, we permute the letters (as is known) into triplets. This written form of the Name was revealed by R. Aryeh Kaplan as 9 triplets on 8 lines (9 triplets on 8 lines = 216 letters). This is like the walls of the Ark of the Covenant that were each 9 handbreadths high on the outside, 3 layers thick (gold-wood-gold) and 8 handbreadths high on the inside (as explained in the post on Terumah). It's also like the mathematic structure of the Menorah (as depicted by the Rambam). The menorah's structural geometry is essentially a two-dimensional representation of the letters (you will not see this connection in most depictions of the menorah). The 9 triplets on 8 lines is also the two-dimensional metric geometry for the ten vectors of five-dimensional space (that can be perceived more accurately in three dimensions as the shape and form of a star tetrahedron with 9 triangular corners on 8 faces). Take time to contemplate the implications. Each higher level of perception is hidden from the level below. For example, when we look at the 216 letters in two dimensions (as 9 triplets on 8 lines) they are no longer hidden (as they were in the one-dimensional string of letters in the Torah) and take on a unique form that can be more easily perceived. We call this form the "Triad Havaya of 72” because it consists of 72 letter groups consisting of triplets. In this "higher dimension" (the second dimension) we can go beyond merely reading over the hidden letters of God’s Name and actually see them, even though (in two dimensions) our sight is still somewhat limited. However, it is at this level we can begin to perceive its mathematic and geometric characteristics, and with this perception, we can now begin to understand its significance, and how its letters 'rule' the universe. We can, for example, begin to see how it connects with space-time (as described in Metzora) quantum mechanics (as described in Ki Thetze) particle physics or string theory (as mentioned in Sh'lach) celestial dynamics (as described in BeHa’alothekha) and so forth; but it doesn’t end there either. Enter the third dimension....

• The third dimension: When the luchot were divided and brought down by Moshe, we were not only given the opportunity of perceiving God’s Name on a more lofty level, but how these letters define various key aspects of biology, chemistry and celestial mechanics. In this form we also know what He expects of mankind (as in halacha). Through the 304,805 letters of Torah we gain additional awareness of God’s Name; His plan; and His expectations. Three dimensions? How? In one dimension, any given dimension (of the luchot) is merely 6 handbreadths, like the number of days in creation (to unfold over 6 thousand years). In two dimensions (when they are side-by-side) they are 6 x (6 + 6) or 72 square handbreadths, its depth (or triplets) being hidden within the limitations of two-dimensional space. However, in three dimensions they are 6 x (6 + 6) times 3, or what amounts to 72 x 3, which of course is 216 cubic handbreadths, but from this "height" we can perceive the 216 letters in three dimensions (see the model below). This is very much like human consciousness. It reaches ever-greater levels as the number of facets increase. Contemplate this. There are 70 facets of the Torah. The receiving of the luchot (that mathematically and geometrically reflects the letters of God’s Name) provides us with a paradigm shift in relative consciousness, and that consciousness by the way, need not be limited to Israel. It has affected every nation on earth (over the millennia) to varying degrees and in varying ways. However, Israel was/is in the direct path of this reflection and has received the brightest light and gained the greatest awareness of God; His Name; plan; and expectations. Again, it doesn’t end with three dimensions. Knowledge and understanding are not instantaneous. They are achieved over time. 

The Shnei Luchot (Side-by-Side)

6 x 12 (72) times 3 = 216

         Enter the 4th dimension....

• The fourth dimension: The fourth dimensions is time. After the exodus, Israel’s level of awareness increased again, this time to four dimensions as depicted in the structural geometry of, for example, the altar of incense (representing service to God) see the model below. The Jewish people were on their way to Israel to build the Temple, through which all men could recognize their Creator. On the way they built a Tabernacle. Its structural geometry was a mirror image of God’s Name as seen in the post on VaYakhel. The altar however, took this reflection to the next level (into the fourth dimension). It was 1 cubit, by 1 cubit, by 2 cubits, or what amounts to two “cubes” (stacked on top of each other) that are each 6 x 6 x 6 handbreadths. Two cubes side-by-side are often used to depict what is called a hypercube (3 dimensions of space moving through 1 dimension of time). In this case, the “hypercube” (altar) not only represents how the letters of God’s Name oversee “movement” through the three dimensions of space, but how they guide the process of creation as time progresses (moves forward) where time is the 4th dimension. Each cubic half of the altar reflects the mathematic nature of the 216 letters (and also the luchot that were brought down twice over time ~ two times a cubit-cubed). That is how and why (through service to God as specified in Torah) we can gain an even greater knowledge and awareness of God as time progresses. The altar of incense was the exact same size as both sets of the luchot in their combined cubic form (two cubes that were each 6 x 6 x 6 handbreadths) which is mathematically and geometrically identical to the cosmic blueprint that "defines" the three dimensions of space and the (one) dimension of time.

The Altar of Incense

Golden Altar

(Both the upper half and the lower half were one cubit-cubed)

This evolution of awareness of God’s Name as explained above, can be thought of as a program running parallel to each of the other elements at any given moment in time on the cosmic clock where each and every tick is specified in the blueprint (luchot). To see how this works, lets take a look at the second element and its various dimensions, or in this case phases (time related implementation).

The second element: The second component of the creation process is the blueprint (luchot) previously mentioned. The combined cubic form of the luchot has 5 internal mathematic constructs3, but each construct has a polar opposite, so the constructs (internally) take the form of 5 opposite 5. This is like the 10 commandments on the 2 tablets when they are divided and brought down by Moshe (5 opposite 5) that will be discussed momentarily. Together these constructs define the edges, borders and faces of the combined cubic form of the luchot, that in turn reflects the nature of the 216 letters in the Name of the Architect (6 x 6 x 6 = 216). This is how 5 opposite 5 is related to 6 x 6 x 6. One pertains to its external (revealed) metrics, and the other to it's internal (hidden) metrics. If you find any of this hard to follow, we will model it in a moment, to show in practical terms how it shapes reality (the history of mankind and specifically the Jewish people).

• Phase one: In the first phase of the creation process, the luchot are not yet divided (not yet brought down by Moshe) and so we perceive these 5 mathematic constructs and their opposites as part of the internal cubic structure of the undivided (foundation) stone under the throne (Mishpatim) that is, in essence, "the" underlying mathematic system that was just as "true" before creation, as it is "true" during creation (His [primordial] torah being a "true" mathematic representation of reality). The letters are 6 x 6 x 6 (216) but without duality a male-female universe cannot exist (we explained this division in more detail in Ki Thetze). Without actual “duality” (physical separation of the male/female components) the vessels that are needed to interact with creation (or sephirot that we’ll discuss in a moment) cannot hold or transmit the light. So while the 5 constructs in dual form exist in potential, within the blueprint, they are not physically separated into male and female halves until 'Moshe divides them' (a real-world physical reflection of what actually happened above, outside of space-time) and brings them down, at which point it becomes possible to transmit this light (knowledge of God and His Name) to the world that is inside of space-time. These constructs by the way, have their counterpart in the 5 string theories that are reconciled by dual resonance (as mentioned in Sh'lach). Enter Phase 2.... 

• Phase 2: In this phase the cubic form is physically divided in half (the luchot are brought down by Moshe with 5 commandments on one half and 5 on the other). In this form, the sephirot that are integral to the blueprint (luchot) can go forth as 5 opposite 5 (male-female form) and now contain the light without shattering as explained in Sefer Yetzirah. That is, human consciousness can form an attachment to “the Architect” (man can now see the light and have knowledge of God and His Name). The shnei luchot (two tablets) are in essence twins, a two-dimensional (or male-female) reflection of the Architect’s Name in as many dimensions. The knowledge of God and what God expects of man are part of this light that can now be attached to or become part of human consciousness, but only after the blueprint (cubic form of the luchot) is “divided” and brought down by Moshe, which is again a reflection of a process outside of space-time. Contemplate this (you will see the elements and their symmetry modeled in the paragraphs ahead). In this male-female form, the effects of the sephirot are (still) somewhat limited. They can hold the light (knowledge of God) but cannot necessarily transmit that light (convey knowledge of God to others). Enter Phase 3...

• Phase 3: In this phase we see the third dimension of the luchot (there is a third aspect to human consciousness). That is, we understand the importance of implementing its instructions (halacha or observance of the laws that it commands). In the third dimension we have not only a separation between male and female, but balance between the two halves (the sephirot depicted in three columns). Human consciousness is now fully prepared to recognize God’s Name and what God expects of man. So the light (genuine knowledge of God) can now be transmitted and conveyed to others (specifically by our setting an example that is itself dependent on our halachic observance). We can see the "why, when, and where" of this reality, when the Torah acknowledges a shift in the consciousness of Yaacov, after sleeping on Har HaBayit (the 'when' and the 'where'). It continues with "and he (Yaacov) awoke" (וַיִּיקַץ) from his sleep. The deeper implication is that when "the sleeper awakes" he acquires 'awareness,' which is an aspect of consciousness. True human consciousness is the awareness of God and His Name. After sleeping on Har HaBayit, Yaacov acquires awareness, and reaches the pinnacle of human consciousness. How do we know? The gematria of "and he awoke" is 216, which is the number of letters in the Explicit Name of the One (God) that comes to awaken man (adam/mankind) who is collectively asleep (the consciousness of man has yet to become collectively aware of this Name or that its letters actually 'rule' the universe in one form of another). Just as the gematria of the phrase: "and he awoke" is 216, so too is the volumetric measure of the (foundation) "stone" (combined cubic form of the luchot) by which all men are measured. Until man can perceive this larger reality, he is said to be asleep. He continues to sleep because God hides Himself. He even hides the fact that He hides Himself. Yet He is there, peering from behind the lattice, to see if man will 'see' Him. How did Yaacov perceive God's presence? When he (Yaacov) awoke, he said "HaShem (the Name) is definitely in this place" (אָכֵן יֵשׁ יְהוָה בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה) and I did not know it (וְאָנֹכִי לֹא יָדָעְתִּי)." The gematria of the first sequence of letters is 612, which is the inverse integer sequence of 216. The text continues with the second sequence of letters "and I did not know it" (וְאָנֹכִי לֹא יָדָעְתִּי). That is, "I did not know" that HaShem was in this place, because He hid Himself. The gematria of "and I did not know it" is also 612 and again the inverse. This was his moment of awareness (when the hidden was revealed). The cosmic blueprint (luchot) would be given to his descendants, and ultimately brought down twice (216 + 216). Man's consciousness (a form of light) is found in the true speed of (primordial) light, which was/is (216 + 216) squared, or 186,624 miles per second (see the post on the Speed of Light for a more detailed explanation). Without this consciousness (light) man is asleep, which is the inverse of being consciously aware of something. The sum of all three (of the above) gematrias' is 1,440 (2 x 72 'tens') like the measure, in handbreadths, of the two walls in the Tabernacle surrounding the Holy of Holies. The third wall (another 72 handbreadths) came to reconcile the difference (VaYahkel) making the combined length of the walls in this portion of the Tabernacle (3 x 72 or 216 handbreadths) reflecting once again the letters of God's Name. All three of these 'witnesses' (216, 612, 612) are hidden just beneath the surface of the text and become the 'mouth' of the two or three witnesses required to determine such matters. What witness? The luchot in two or three dimensions. When does this shift in Yaacov's consciousness occur? After sleeping on Har HaBayit. Where does this shift occur? On Har HaBayit. Why does it occur? Because the purpose of creation is to awaken the soul of man to an awareness of God, and the larger reality, that God (by way of the 216 letters in His Name and its abbreviated forms) "rules" over everything; that He has expectations of man (laws/halacha) that are basically the common sense basis of peace and prosperity; and that these expectations must be acknowledged and accepted by all men, as the guiding principles of a free and orderly society. This will eventually occur, within the 6 thousand year allotted period. 

Notice how our perception of each component in the creative process evolves over time beginning with the awareness of the Architect’s Name (the nature of that Name and how it is hidden in one, two or three dimensions along with the significance of its letters). However, notice also how this awareness runs parallel to the state of the blueprint (luchot) at any moment in time as in: its combined cubic form; its divided or twin form, divided into male and female counterparts; or its triad form (as triplets) hidden in the third dimension.

The third element: The third component of the creative process is the sephirot and as you may suspect, it too parallels the evolution of the first two components. The third component is/are the sephirot.

• Phase 1: In the first phase, the aforementioned luchot were one and not yet physically separated (divided) so the sephirot (not yet male or female) descend in a single column and cannot hold the light of the Ein Sof, let alone transmit that light. This results in the shattering of the vessels (a real-world reflection of this is seen when Moshe shatters the luchot/tablets).

• Phase 2: In phase two however, the aforementioned luchot are brought down again. The sephirot conform to this new configuration, and so they are brought back, this time in male-female form as 5 opposite 5 (Sefer Yetzirah). One is a mirror image of the other, both reflecting their role in the geometry of the 216 letters that started the process.

• Phase 3: In phase three, the sephirot are depicted in three columns (three-dimensions) male and female along with “balance” between the two (a middle column). Without this balance the world(s) would merely be destroyed over and over again because of the attribute of justice overcoming the attribute of mercy. But with this center column (balance) the world can survive and come to know God and His Name (the Signature of the Architect and all that it entails). How is this done? It's done through the fourth element.

The fourth element: The fourth element you will recall is (are) the letters of creation that form and create the reality that surrounds us (you may have a flashback here to a scene in a movie about "The Matrix"). We will only say that 5 of these letters take one form when they appear in the middle of any word combination, and a different form when they are at the end of any word (letter combination). In other words, they are 5 opposite 5 just like the sephirot before them, that were also 5 opposite 5 (Sefer Yetzirah); and these were like the shnei luchot (two tablets) before them with their internal mathematic constructs that were/are also 5 opposite 5. The symmetry is very precise. The job of "engineering" the universe, or any part thereof is specified in terms of varying levels of tolerance that can best be described as acceptable limits in the ratio between the attribute of justice and that of mercy, allowing the world to continue until such time as an "adjustment" becomes necessary. 

All of these elements, regardless of their place and position at any given moment in time, are reflections of one another, and of the Architect’s Name. But how does all this translate into human events, the 5th element?

The fifth element is the shadow below (actual events in the history of mankind). Witness "the Flood," or the "40 years in the wilderness" to name a few of the "adjustments" mentioned above. These are “shadows” cast by all the other elements (the Architect, His blueprint, sephirot and letters). That is, the shadows of these things are the events that happen over the 6,000 years of creation, as the world works toward the culmination of the process (tikkun/rectification). Let's look at some of these shadows (events) and compare them to their point(s) of origin above (the previous 4 elements).

• Phase 1: In phase one, the letters of God’s Name are a perfect unity (as God is a perfect unity) and so, the “brick under the throne” is not yet divided into male and female halves. There is no duality. A universe with male-female characteristics (good and evil) must exist before this light can be discerned. This is evidenced in the 10 sephirot that are not yet divided into 2 columns (male and female / 5 opposite 5) and cannot contain the light and so they shatter. The reflection down below, is seen as the rise of 10 pre-flood kings who are collectively unable to convey the knowledge of what God expects of man to their respective generations. Their world is destroyed, like the 10 sephirot that are their counterparts above, and like the luchot (blueprint above the sephirot) with 10 commandments that were shattered by Moshe etc. Each is a reflection of one or more characteristics of the preceding elements (the larger reality). Each is merely the same shadow, at a different moment in time. The diagram below graphically illustrates this process, the evolution of its components and the beauty and symmetry of the creative process is quite remarkable because the dots always connect back to the letters of God’s Name.

• Phase 2: In this phase the letters are seen in the division of the luchot as twins (described in the posts on Toldot and VaYeshev). This division has its origin in the division resulting in the letters of the Tetragrammaton opposite those in the Havayah of Adnoot (the primary abbreviations of what would otherwise be incomprehensible). The sephirot now come forth in 2 columns (5 opposite 5) and the earthly "kings" below manifest the same way. That is, 5 "kings" arise, that reign before the dividing of the continents and then 5 more "kings" arise, and reign after the "dividing" of the continents. The events below are a mirror image of their counterparts above (the luchot and sephirot that are both "5 opposite 5"). Although what we are seeing is really a reflection within a reflection, since it actually flows from the 216 letters that define the two halves in the first place, each being 6 x 6 x 3 handbreadths (108 cubic handbreadths) in the now divided form of the blueprint/luchot. The significance of this (and the symmetry) was especially evident in last week's post on Bereishit and Noach where these numbers and patterns were found in the reign of the pre-flood kings. God has hidden Himself from the casual observer, but it's as though He has challenged everyone else to open their eyes, and to come and find him.

Now, open your eyes and see how the realm above shapes and defines the realm below:

The Geometry of Creation

(the symmetry and its implications must be contemplated)

Notice that Parashah Bereishit is a mirror image of the 1st phase and that Parashah Noach is the mirror image of the 2nd phase (we’ll get to Lehk Lehka and phase 3 in a moment). 

In phase 1 (Bereishit) Adam is given the role of kingship to lead/teach mankind . This one “king” who was a giant among men (speaking figuratively) and his descendants (10 kings in all) fail in their mission. Their world is destroyed and phase 2 begins.

In Parashah Noach (phase 2) the last “king” of the first phase joins with the first king of the second phase (his son Shem) and together these 2 "kings" begin to rectify the errors of the past that led to the world’s destruction. These 2 were “giants among men” in their generation (figuratively speaking) and they set the stage for 10 more generations to arise. The next 10 however are decidedly different from the first 10. Shem establishes schools to convey the knowledge of God to the post-flood generations. Enter Phase 3...

This week’s post on Lehk Lehka is a mirror image of the third phase. We saw the first phase begin with Adam (1 man). The second phase begins after the flood with Noach and Shem (2 men). Noach hands over “the mantle of shepherd kingship” to Shem and the second phase begins with 10 more generations. The third phase begins with Avraham, immediately followed by Yitzak and Ya’acov (3 men) and yet another 10 generations. A picture is beginning to emerge, and it has a distinct mathematic pattern. That picture is a shadow of the elements and the creative pattern we’ve been examining: the Architect whose Name is concealed within the dynamics of the blueprint (combined cubic form of the luchot) the sephirot and the letters; one dimensions, two dimensions, three dimensions etc.

In the first phase of human consciousness the Name is completely hidden. In the second phase it emerges but perceived as a composite of its male-female letters (as in the Tetragrammaton and the Havaya of Adnoot). In Lehk Lehka we see the beginning of the third phase where it is recognized in triad form...

Phase 3: Avraham is succeeded by Yitzak and Ya’acov and these (now three) “giants among men” (again speaking figuratively) set the stage for the nations to know God, His Name; and His expectations of man. This knowledge can now enter the world via the descendants of these 3 men.

The symmetry of this 3-step process can be seen in these three portions. Parashah Bereishit reveals the 1st phase (where the first 10 “kings” are reflections of mathematic constructs within the blueprint, sephirot or actual men). Parashah Noach reveals the second phase (where the second 10 “kings,” are reflections of the constructs within the blueprint, sephirot or actual men) and Parashah Lehk Lehka the third phase (where the reflections are again elements in the process). It is here in the third phase that  an understanding of the blueprint and its connection to the Architect’s Name takes on a third dimension, and so the sephirot are (now) depicted in three columns (by the Sages of Israel who would preserve and expand upon this knowledge). The shadow below takes the form of three “king’s” (Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’acov) who begin the next 10 generations. It is here that knowledge of God and His Name begins to spread. These patterns are unmistakable. Each phase consists of 10 generations, just like the blueprint with its 10 aspects that are 5 opposite 5, either in potential or actual duality when they are divided and brought down by Moshe. Each phase sees a further rectification of the soul as it coincides with knowledge of God. It will culminate when all the nations know God's Name, and by that we mean his real Name (as opposed to the names of false god's and rantings of foolish clerics that demand obtuse and destructive behavior from their followers). When God's real Name is accepted among the nations, then they will all come to Jerusalem on Sukkoth.

The first phase (Bereishit) is one-dimensional (beginning with Adam as 1 giant among men). The second phase (Noach) is two-dimensional (beginning with Noach & Shem being 2 giants among men in their generation). The third phase (Lehk Lehka) is three-dimensional (with Avraham, Yitzak and Ya’acov being 3 giants among men in their generation) together setting the stage for transmitting the light (a knowledge of God) to the nations. We will not delve into the fourth dimension, which is mirrored in the events surrounding the life of Yoseph (Ya'acov's son and the fourth in line of these 10 generations) as it is beyond the scope of this post. However, each is a reflection of a larger reality.

The beauty and the symmetry of the creation process is found embedded; first in the characteristics of the Architect’s Name; second in the characteristics of His blueprint; third in the characteristics of the sephirot; fourth in the characteristics of the letters; and fifth in the actual events that take place over time. Each one is a shadow of the former, and all originate with the characteristics of the 216 letters in their triad form. To perceive these things with any degree of clarity is a function/measure of human consciousness.

The diagram below is an illustration of the symmetry to help students visualize the connection between one thing and another.

(click to enlarge)

The mathematic and geometric precision of all these things is astounding, and must be contemplated to be truly appreciated. What all of this shows is that every aspect of reality; every event that takes place throughout history, is one way or another connected and that the connection invariably leads to the mathematic and geometric characteristics of the letters in God’s Name as seen in all three dimensions of the luchot. It's just that the mechanics of the process are hidden from the casual observer to allow for free will and the plan that ultimately unfolds over 6,000 years. Were this knowledge revealed in the beginning, this would not be the case. Free will would not exist, and without free will the process would collapse. 

This brings us to the paradox of free will. In a recent discussion the question was asked: if everything below is just a reflection of the plan above, then how is free will incorporated into the plan? The best way to describe the paradox is to think of a man on top of a mountain. There is a road at the bottom of the mountain that runs around to the other side where there is a bridge. The bridge however, has collapsed, and so there is no way anyone can cross it. On the other side of the mountain there is a car headed toward the bridge. The driver cannot see the bridge and does not know it has collapsed. The man on top the mountain (the dimension above) knows that when the driver reaches the bridge he will turn around and find another route. Just because the man above knows what the driver will do, does not mean the driver doesn't have free will. The driver can turn around any time he wants. It just means the driver will not do so until such time as he possesses "knowledge" of the collapsed bridge, and recognizes the need for him to "turn around," at which time his free will can be exercised accordingly. This is like repentance. It does not happen until a person has sufficient knowledge to recognize the necessity of turning from one direction, and heading in another.

The world has almost reached that point. The King’s builders (the Jewish people) have over millennia suffered at the hands of the nations who are only now beginning to realize the importance of learning truth (specifically about God) rather than promoting errant and destructive beliefs that have little or no basis in reality (although there are specific groups that are lagging far behind others). However, when the nations realize their error, the builders who know God's Name will  become the head (of the nations) and not the tail (Devarim 28:13). The nations will then send representatives to Jerusalem on Sukkoth, to celebrate their knowledge of the One, whose Name of 4 letters (in abbreviated form)  correspond to the 4 species that when held and waved in the hands are a reflection of all the letters and the luchot (see the post on the four species and the 216 letters). They will grab hold of the tzitzith of a Jew (the strands on the 4 corners of the talith that also represent these letters) and ask to be taught about the true faith in the One True God.

Footnote 1 - Consciousness can be described many ways. Perhaps the best way is to describe it in terms of thought. A man's thoughts are a comprised of words and sentences. Consciousness is loosely related (or perhaps more than that) to the ratio between the average number of letters in any given word (used to think about something)  the number of words that are employed (in the thought process) and the time it takes to think about it. For example, the astrophysicist that contemplates planetary motion over the course of several years has a higher level of consciousness than a thug or miscreant whose vocabulary is limited to a few four-letter-words. True consciousness requires a knowledge of God’s Explicit Name. 

Footnote 2 - The average person does not want to know God’s Name, but rather to impose their (often errant) beliefs on others.

Footnote 3 - These mathematic constructs represent the nature of the physical universe (creation) in the form of 5 opposite 5. They define the geometry of 5 regular convex polyhedrons commonly referred to as the platonic solids. However, the constructs go far beyond mere geometry.

Footnote 4 - You can’t have a creation without a creator

Beresheit and Noach

The facts that will be presented in this post are highly significant. They demonstrate once again that the letters of God’s Explicit Name are both mathematically and geometrically unique, significant, and do in fact shape reality. In this case however, they have a role to play in the establishment of the human race and the history of mankind. 

We say in Shacharit1: “...then all humanity will call upon [His] Name,” a prayer that cannot be fulfilled until this Name is known among the nations. But how can that happen? There has been a proliferation of false names among the nations. What proof exists to discern one from another? Is there anything that would cause the nations to recognize one name above all the others? Is there anything that might cause them to accept this one Name as the actual Name of God? The facts presented in this particular post have that potential. 

We will examine these facts in the paragraphs ahead. However, if you are new to this blog you should read each of the essential constructs listed in the column to the right before proceeding. These pages reveal some of the basic mathematic connections between the letters of God's Explicit Name and the multidimensional geometric characteristics of the luchot, both in the divided state and combined cubic form, along with the internal geometry that casts a shadow known as a magen david. There is a special connection between the Name, the luchot and the geometry of the magen, and together they form a unique signature. We refer to this geometry and its mathematic common denominator as the Signature of the Architect. The purpose of this blog is to show how all of these things connect, and to reveal where the signature geometry is hidden, not only in each week’s parashah, but the physics of time and space, quantum mechanics and celestial dynamics to name a few. Once you are familiar with these constructs you can more fully appreciate each post.
 
Insofar as this post is concerned, what you are about to read is the actual account of the earliest historical records pertaining to mankind, and specifically those of the reign of the ten pre-flood 'kings,' a term used in the ancient world for the leader/shepherd of mankind before the deluge (the Torah does not use the term "king" when referring to these men). This particular account would be completely unknown except for the preservation of an obscure but very ancient document whose contents have been conveyed to us by other historians. An addendum will be provided to explain its mathematic significance. In the meantime, for now, the reader need only be made aware that this document is of a secular nature, having no particular religious motivation. Yet, it is remarkable for what it reveals about the reign of these pre-flood kings, and specifically the length of their reign as it would apply to God’s Name. We will show for example, that each king voluntarily abdicated the throne at a specific time, to coincide with precedents set by God and/or Adam. The facts are astonishing because they have a direct and irrefutable connection to the letters of the Triad Havayah. The first ten kings to reign on the face of the earth either knew this Name or respected the knowledge of their predecessors and what was expected of them in that regard.

To my knowledge the significance of this has never been made known. It was unknown to generations past, just as it is unknown today, but not because the information has been unavailable. Rather, it has been because no one has correctly understood the meaning of the numbers conveyed by the texts, since a familiarity with God’s Explicit Name on a mathematic level is so extremely rare. However, the nature of the historical account, and the connection that it has to the One Explicit Name, is something that the nations, and indeed every single religion amongst the nations, will ultimately have to deal with, if they are to eliminate political and religious dissension and arrive at consensus.

To that end we will first tell a short story: Once upon a time a son was born to a great king. The king was a good king and he wanted his son to understand that a righteous king was like a shepherd. A shepherd shows concern for his flock. He finds sheep that are lost and gently leads them back to the right path. The king wanted his son to know these things before leading the king’s subjects in the ways of righteousness. God forbid he should use his position for selfish purposes.

Most king’s throughout history use their position to enrich themselves at the expense of others, often turning their subjects into serfs. A righteous king however, serves the people, and in so doing he helps to create a better society. He does this by encouraging his subjects to seek the truth for the sake of knowing the truth, and teaches them how to discern the fine line between one thing and another (unlike today when the sign of a “great leader” is his ability to lie with a straight face and forward whatever private agenda serves the purpose of financial oligarchs, usually having something to do with increasing their wealth and power).

In this case, the king was righteous and patiently explained all of these things to his son. It was a very long time before he felt his son was ready. He wanted to make sure that his son fully understood the obligation of such a position before giving him this responsibility. To that end he spent a great deal of time walking with his son and talking with him about such matters in the royal garden. Finally, when his son reached an appropriate age, a point in time that was predetermined by the king, the king transferred responsibility for the kingdom to his son. The king loved this son very much and so he gave him a special mantle and a sceptre to symbolize the passing of kingship. The coronation of the king’s son was carefully timed to coincide with the king’s unique signature as well, and this tradition along with the mantle and scepter were then handed down from generation to generation, to identify the rightful heir to the throne, lest anyone contend otherwise.

The king’s son eventually grew up, and like his father before him, he taught the ways of righteousness to his son. When it was time, the responsibility for leading the kingdom was transferred to him as well, and thus the mantle and the scepter passed from father to son.

Each successive king received authority the same way, in the same manner. Each recognized and honored the original king’s name. However, the further down the line this knowledge was passed, the further the people were from the original teachings, and so eventually the subjects strayed from these wise precepts and became corrupt in their ways. The kingdom finally collapsed under the weight of the corruption. Fortunately (or unfortunately) as fate would have it, these corrupt people died in a great catastrophe. Later, when another righteous king arose, he was able to rectify to a certain extent the errors of his predecessors.

The explanation of this story is really quite simple and you may have already guessed the identity of the players.

The King in our story is of course God and his son was Adam. In the years immediately following creation, the world’s population was quite small and it would be many years before a leader was needed to convey the King's teachings to the rest of mankind. During this time, God walked with Adam and prepared him for his role to teach and lead the people. God walked with Adam in the garden and taught him. After 216 years Adam was ready and so God gave him a mantle and a sceptre and made him king (we'll show you how this time period is derived in just a moment). Adam was mankind’s first king, but a king of the shepherd-kind who teaches and leads his flock.

The birthright, or maybe we should call it the birth-responsibility, was eventually passed to one of Adam’s sons. Moreover, it was done exactly the same way, and manner, over the same period of time. Subsequent kings also honored this tradition. Specifically, as the title (or birthright) was passed down from father to son in succeeding generations, each king limited the duration of his reign to the precedent set by the first king. That is, none would reign longer than God Himself, who limited His reign to 216 years. At least three of these kings voluntarily abdicated after serving for the maximum period of time.

Noah was the last king to reign before the Flood. He also reigned for 216 years, but then the waters of the deep broke forth and the rains began. The Flood of course destroyed the world. The people had become increasingly corrupt. As righteous as these ten kings were, they were simply unable to transmit the light (those things that God had taught to Adam when they walked in the garden) to the rest of the world. As its population grew, so did the corruption. The world was then destroyed.

Did these kings really limit their reign to 216 years? How do we know? Why isn’t this common knowledge?

The reason is that the truth is concealed in the numbers passed down through ancient sources (outside the Torah) that have never been understood. You’ll see why when you read the addendum to this post at the very bottom. The facts are so well concealed that no one could possibly know how these ten kings honored the original King, or Adam, or what part the King’s Name played in the length of their reign. Few understand the purpose of the mantle and scepter (symbols of leadership) that were passed to each succeeding king, or the timing involved. Yet, all of this can be ascertained from ancient records.

In addition to these record(s) we also have the Torah itself. The Torah provides a similar if more limited account of the events, but it confirms the validity of the other records. The Torah is not a history book, even though it provides us with some important aspects of the historical narrative. It does not, for example, use the word “king” to describe these ten individuals (since God Himself is really the only “King”) but from other sources we know that these men were nevertheless thought of as kings in the ancient world. There are actually a number of ancient "king lists” that provide us with information about these men and their reign(s), each with varying degrees of accuracy. Some have obvious rounding errors. However, the oldest and most accurate (that we’ll describe in a moment) gives us the exact length of time that each king reigned.

This king list can be found in the writings of historians like Polyhistor and Eusebius. It was actually compiled by an earlier historian and librarian by the name of Berosus, whose writings have since been lost to antiquity. However, even that list was not actually written by Berosus. His list originated from even earlier records, and specifically those of the Chaldeans. The Chaldeans date back to a time before Abraham to the years immediately after the Flood, and so it is really the oldest, even though it wasn’t redacted by Berosus until the time of the Persian Empire. Many scholars mistakenly attribute this list to Berosus himself and consider it to be one of the newer lists, but that is not the case. It not only originates from the oldest sources, but it is the most accurate (we'll prove this beyond reasonable doubt in the addendum below). In the meantime, its important to understand that Berosus merely translated and compiled the records. When we use this list to calculate how long these ten pre-flood “kings” reigned, we find that they reigned for a total of 1,440 years. Remember that number.

Using the Masoretic texts (the original/kosher/authoritative version of the bible) we can confirm the number of years that elapsed between the creation of Adam and the Flood. This has been done many times, by many different scholars, and it always comes out the same. From the creation of Adam until the Flood waters broke forth, exactly 1,656 years elapsed. Remember that number as well.

What all of this means is that there was a period of time preceding the reign of these ten kings, preceding even Adam, in which no man reigned (that is to say that no one person acted as teacher/shepherd for mankind). As we said in our story, the earth’s population was until then quite small. No one was needed to act as a leader. During this time, God Himself essentially reigned alone. He walked with Adam in the (royal) garden and taught him many things, including and especially what was expected of man.

Among the things that God taught Adam during this time was:

1. How man would be 'measured' by the seven laws2; 
2. How space and volume are measured by the characteristics of the cubit, and in fact literally defined by "the cubit," with the measurement of the cubit being the primary physical characteristic of the blueprint itself (in the combined cubic form of the luchot) that was 6 x 6 x 6 handbreadths (one cubit-cubed) having 216 cubic handbreadths with its many fractional proportions; 
3. How time is measured in cycles of seven (currently seen in calender related halacha) conforming to cycles of 7 x 7 x 7, as in seven days, seven weeks, seven years, seven millennia, 7 x 7 weeks/years etc. (described in BeHar and BeChuko-thai); and 
4. How time and space relate to one another (as described in Metzora); and then last but certainly not least; 
5. How the letters of His Name literally define reality and celestial movement (as described in BeHa'alothekha).

Once Adam’s education was complete, God gave him a scepter and a mantle to mark that moment in time when kingship and responsibility for mankind was passed from father to son. These symbols even today denote such things.

Now lets do the math. If the total time between the creation of Adam and the Flood was 1,656 years and the total reign of the ten pre-flood kings was 1,440 years, then how much time elapsed before God gave Adam the mantle of kingship? That's right. When you subtract 1,440 years from 1,656 years, you get 216 years. If you’ve read the essential constructs listed in the column to the right, then you know what this means. It happens to be the number of letters in the King’s One Explicit Name. The short story that we told above should now begin to make sense.

God Himself reigned alone for 216 years before appointing Adam as shepherd (leader/king/teacher) over mankind, and that’s very interesting, considering that it is not only the number of letters in His Name, but the same mathematic reflection that we've seen over and over again throughout Torah and indeed the entire physical universe (which is in fact the subject of this blog). Sometimes we see one or more of the abbreviated forms of this Name as seen in the posts on Ki Thetze and Ki Thavo. If we run the numbers (that is the exact dates derived from the king list) then the coronation of the King’s son would have been on his 216th birthday. That would have been on Rosh Hashanah in the 216th year of the first millennium. Keep in mind that Ya’acov made for Yoseph (that is he assigned to Yoseph) the mantle (coat) in the 216th year of the third millennium (the year 2216 from creation). Is this a coincidence or are we seeing a continuation of the tradition5 established by the pre-flood kings? You’re about to find out!

We’ll need to find a least one more witness to determine the validity of the assumption, or maybe four witnesses, because that’s how many there are! In fact, there are even more than four witnesses if you include several other factors. Let's first look at the side-by-side comparison of the king lists below. One is from the Torah, one from Berosus, and another from what is called the Weld Prism (w/rounding errors corrected using Berosus numbers). In the columns of that list you will see the ten men mentioned in the Torah (Adam through Noah) opposite their counterparts from the other lists.

The first thing you will notice is the similarity in some of the names and in the lengths of their reign. However the most important thing to notice is that none of these kings reigned longer than 216 years. In fact, at least three of them, Mahalalel, Enoch and Noah voluntarily abdicated their positions of responsibility after reigning for 216 years! Why? Because it would have been inappropriate for a man to reign longer than God Himself, who set the precedent by limiting His reign to 216 years before passing the responsibility to Adam. This is highly significant. If we include the reign of the first King (God Himself) then we have four witnesses that testify to the significance of this period of time (5 if you include the combined reign of Methusela and Lamech). There were other variations of course (but none over 216) and even those have great significance as you will see.

For example, if you study the list below, not only will you see the four who reigned for 216 years, but you will also see that the King’s son (Adam) limited his reign to just 120 years. There was a reason for this (as it relates to the 216 letters) that we’ll explain in a moment. But before we get into that, notice that at least two other kings limited their reign to 120 years as well, and then abdicated. Why? 

The kings who abdicated after 120 years felt that a precedent had been set by the first man (Adam) and that it would be inappropriate to reign longer than him. Moreover, in at least one instance, a father and son’s combined reign totaled 216 years. The father reigned for 120 years (to honor the precedent set by Adam) and the son reigned another 96 years so that the combined period would equate to (and honor the precedent) that had been set by God Himself.

Click to Enlarge 

According to the Weld Prism (after correcting its rounding errors) at least three combinations of father and son would honor the precedent set by the first King, reigning together for 216 years. These numbers are impossible to ignore and equally impossible to ascribe to coincidence. According to the Torah, each of these kings lived far longer than the time in which they reigned. However, the fact that each was aware of the length of time in which God reigned (before Adam) and that each limited his own reign accordingly, honoring one or more precedents, whether it be 120 or 216, is quite telling in-and-of itself. The facts are astonishing and highly significant. Each king in his own way showed respect for, and honored the King and/or his son (Adam) by their adherence to one or more of the precedents set down in the beginning. In almost every case, or combination of cases, the numbers equate, one way or the other, to the number of letters in the King’s Explicit Name (even the number 120 as you are about to see).

The next thing you should note about these king lists, is the name of the last king (Noah). He was also known in other ancient civilizations as Zeusuddra, or Zesuthros. Do you see anything familiar about the root letters of these names? The root letters of Zeusuddra and Zesuthros (alternatively spelled Xiousudra and Xisuthros) both incorporate the letters of the name “Zeus,” who in Greek and Roman mythology was the father of the “gods.” Zeus was none other than Noah. How did Noah come to be worshiped as a god? Why were his sons also considered gods?

Noah and family were possessed of antediluvian physiology and according to the Torah they outlived even their great-great-great-great grandchildren. Noah was still alive when Sarah was born (11 generations from Noah). To later generations these "heros" appeared to be immortal. Everyone in the ancient world had heard of these legendary people who saved mankind from destruction. If you have the capability to save mankind and you appear to be immortal, then what are you? You are a “god” of course. That is why ancient civilizations fell into ancestor worship.

In mythology, Zeus had a son named Jupiter3. The root (Hebrew) letters of Jupiter are Yud-Pey-Tav. Who was this man in Torah? It was JaPheTh, the son of Noah. The root letters of JaPheTh are those of JuPiTer. In other words Zeus and his son Jupiter, were none other than Noah and his son Yaphet/Japheth. This is how the false gods and the mythology surrounding them arose. Noah was the father and so naturally Zeus (Noah's name in other cultures) came to be known as the “father of the gods.”

The ancient (false) gods were almost always Noah and his wife Naamah (known as Naama-Ishtar or Venus in much of the ancient world). Along with Shem, cHam and Yaphet and their wives, these heros were worshipped for their wisdom, knowledge and longevity.

As an example, the original pantheon of Egyptian gods consisted of “Nu” (the father god) and his wife “Nut,” (the mother “goddess”) along with their three sons and wives who “crossed over the waters of judgment on a sacred boat.” Sound familiar? The equivalent of those “words” are from the egyptian hieroglyphs themselves! Almost every ancient civilization had a father “god” and three sons who were of course “son-gods.”

In the Norse pantheon, Odin was the father god, and Thor, Baldur and Loki were his three sons. In other civilizations it was Bel, Annu and Merodach.

Long after the Flood, the survivor's descendants would make pilgrimages to the “sacred boat” and tear off bits and pieces for luck, good fortune, fertility etc., basically collecting a souvenir of their visit. The ark was a 515 feet long (300 cubit long) reed boat with upturned ends, and with its covering it looked very much like a giant egg. In fact, the hieroglyphs say it was washed white with natron (bleached from the sun) so it even had the color of an egg shell. After Noah removed part of the covering, the ark took on the appearance of a large cracked egg. Venus (the Greek and Roman name for Ishtar) was said to be hatched from an egg. When Noah’s wife (known also in the ancient world as Naamah-Ishtar) emerged from the ark as "the mother of those who survived," she became a symbol for fertility that went hand-in-hand with the egg mythology. Eventually, as the world fell into ancestor worship, the ark itself came to be revered and worshiped. No one in their right mind today would worship “the egg of Ishtar,” as it came to be called, yet everyone is familiar with a tradition of the easter egg and they are one in the same. The egg of Ishtar is what gave rise to these beliefs and traditions that have been passed down to us over the millennia. It was also known as the egg of Typhon for the same reason (although Typhon was Shem).

At any rate, the longevity of those on board the ark was far in excess of their descendants and so, to the rest of the world, who simply didn’t know any better, the men of legend who crossed the waters on "the sacred boat,” were immortal. When the world fell into ancestor worship, Shem could see what was happening so he established schools (yeshivot) to ensure that his descendants didn’t make the same mistake. He came to be known as Melchizedek, meaning “our righteous king,” for having preserved the truth. The Jewish people were descended from Shem and had the advantage of learning in his yeshivot. The rest of the world did not, and they suffered the consequences (and still do) from the confusion caused by the false names and false gods originating with the worship of Noah and family. Some of this was eventually mixed with the truth contained in Torah, making for an even more confusing admixture of half-truth that confounds the world to this day. But lets get back to why Adam abdicated after 120 years. We have a few more witnesses that would like to testify.

Why would Adam pass on the responsibility to Seth after only 120 years? Why would he not reign for 216 years, as God had done before him? Other kings did. Adam must have had a reason.

The answer lies in the fact that a father generally wants his son to follow in his footsteps, as we asserted in our story above. God wanted Adam to follow in his footsteps, and so likewise, Adam wanted his son to follow in his, and especially the son who would inherit the birthright (kingship). You may remember that Adam originally had two sons, Cain and Abel (Kayin and Hevel).

Hevel (Abel) was found righteous before God and his sacrifice accepted. It was decreed that he should receive the birthright which included the kingship, the mantle and the scepter. That’s why Kayin was so jealous of Hevel and this was the motive for Hevel’s murder. Kayin believed that if his brother were no longer alive, then Adam would have no alternative but to pass the mantle to him. This is like Esau (Esav) who stole the mantle for the same reason (although it was eventually recovered). Ya’acov passed the mantle/coat to Yoseph. 

The problem (for Kayin) was that God had already decreed that Hevel would be the next in line to follow Adam, and what the King decrees must be fulfilled (especially when the King is God). So it was that Hevel was reincarnated (in the gilgul7 of Seth) and received the birthright as originally intended. How do we know?

Adam abdicated and passed the mantle of kingship to Seth in the 336th year of the first millennium (we know this from the king list that shows 216 years elapsed before it was passed to Adam and another 120 elapsed before Adam abdicated and passed it to Seth, so the total amount of time was 336 years). Adam walked the earth as a man for 216 years before God appointed him shepherd over mankind, so Adam wanted to do the same for his son. Adam’s son however, was born like any other man (not “made” from the dust of the earth like Adam). Adam would have to wait a full and complete 12 years (the 13th year being the equivalent of manhood as is the age of bar mitzva) before his heir was a man, and then he would have to wait another 216 years, during which time he would walk the earth as Adam had done when he was taught by God, before receiving the mantle of kingship. Who was the heir? It couldn’t have been Seth for two reasons, 1) God had decreed that the birthright (kingship) should be passed to Hevel and 2) Seth was born in the year 130 (which would not allow enough time to elapse before Adam abdicated). If you start with 130 years into the 1st millennium and add 12 years (until he reached manhood) and then allow another 216 years to walk the earth and to be taught like his father Adam, you will arrive at the 358th year of the first millennium. Adam however, had abdicated in the 336th year. In other words, it wasn’t Seth. Who then was the heir?

If we start with the year in which Adam abdicated (the 336th year of the first millennium) and work backward, subtracting first the 216 years that he would have walked the earth as a man (like Adam before him) and then subtract another 12 complete years which would have to elapse before he was a man at the age of 13, then whoever the heir was, he would have to have been born in the 108th year of the first millennium. There were only two men born before Seth, and they were Kayin and Hevel.

Kayin and Hevel were twins and they were both born in the 108th year of the first millennium, just as Ya’acov and Esav were twins and both born in the 108th year of the third millennium. This is like the luchot (twins) that were both 108 cubic handbreadths. And if those reflections aren’t bright enough to blind, then remember that the mantle was passed to Adam in the 216th year of the first millennium, and that Ya’acov passed the mantle to Yoseph in the 216th year of the third millennium. Each of these historical events: the birth of the first set of twins; the birth of the second set of twins; and the birth of the third set of twins (the luchot) is a mirror image of the Signature of the Architect with it’s 216 letters. The unmistakeable shadow of these letters is found in the mathematic and geometric nature of:

• The luchot (twins) that were 108 cubic handbreadths (2 x 108 = 216);
• Kayin and Hevel who were born in 0108; and, 
• Ya’acov and Esav who were born in 2108.

That is why we say our reality down here on earth is just a reflection of the characteristics of the blueprint (the “cubit” above that was 6 x 6 x 6) which is the combined cubic form of the luchot ...twins (like Kayin and Hevel were twins) ...twins (like Ya’acov and Esav were twins) ...twins (like the two luchot were mathematic and geometric sapphire twins) ...twins that, one way or the other were each “108,” or together “216.”

 
All are reflections of a larger reality. The point of all this, is that the king’s decree (that the birthright would be passed to Hevel) was actually fulfilled in the gilgul of Seth. The original timetable calling for Adam to abdicate after 120 years was still in place, and the coronation of Hevel (who had been murdered) would take place as scheduled, only with Seth. In other words, even though God had held the position for 216 years, Adam abdicated after only 120 years because Hevel was scheduled to become king at that time. Since Hevel had been born in the year 108, and needed to reach 13 years of age to become a man and then another 216 years to be taught by Adam, his prerequisites would be fulfilled in the year 336 (108 + 12 + 216 = 336). “Hevel” would now be ready to take on the kingship, but Hevel was dead. So it was through his gilgul as Seth, that he would now begin his reign. Seth's reign thus began in the year 336 rather than 358, since it was actually Hevel’s reign as decreed by God. As if to acknowledge this "glitch in the matrix," (resulting from Hevel's murder) Seth abdicated after reigning for only 10,800 days (3 saroi) or 108 (hundreds of pre-flood days6) and then passed the throne to Enosh (you will see this in the addendum below). The length of Seth's reign was limited to "108" (hundred days) to acknowledge the fulfillment of the King's decree and honor the memory of Hevel who was born in the 108th year of the 1st millennium. The connection that all of this has to the 216 letters of the King's Name as well as the geometry of the cosmic blueprint in the form of the luchot should not go unnoticed.

The full force and effect of the king’s decree, and its ultimate fulfillment, has remained unknown until today, and you are reading about it here, for what is quite possibly the first time since it actually happened 5,778 years ago.

Why? Not because there weren’t men throughout history smart enough to have known, or men willing to delve into such matters, but simply because the numbers were so well concealed, and the knowledge of God’s One Explicit Name so rare. All of that is about to change, when “...all humanity will call upon [this] Name” to turn the wicked toward God. As for how and why these numbers were concealed by the King we offer the following...

 

AN ADDENDUM ON THE CONVERSION OF TIME
(pre-flood orbit / the Sar, Saros, Saroi, Neroi and Sossoi / days and years)

A number of scholars now understand that prior to the Flood, the earth orbited the sun every 300 days. One of the first to recognize this was David Fasold4. David (of blessed memory) was a B’nai Noach who worked in marine salvage. Over the years he developed an interest in Noah’s Ark, and eventually proved that the Tendürek geologic formation in Turkey (also known as the Durupinar site) was the disintegrated remains of the “sacred boat” whom pilgrims had sought for so many millennia. His book is the definitive work on Noah’s Ark. However, his research went far beyond that subject, taking into account ancient history and the reign of the pre-flood kings in particular. David uncovered archaeological evidence showing that a pre-flood year consisted of 300 days (10 months of 30 days) or as little as 291 days just prior to the Flood. In one case, the archaeological evidence shows that the scientists of the day had noticed a perturbation in the earths orbit, and were greatly concerned (David’s book by the way should be considered required reading). At any rate, this fact is alluded to in the Torah where it says the waters rose for 150 days (5 months) and receded for 150 days (another 5 months). The pattern of 5 opposite 5 is the structure of the physical universe that is derived from the mathematic nature of the Triad Havaya (the sephirot being described as 5 opposite 5 in sefer yetzirah and found in the letters of creation). However in addition to the above, the number of saros (a pre-flood unit of measure that equates to 3,600 days) that each king reigned was divisible by both 12 and 300. Berosus time was given in terms of saroi, neroi and sossoi.  The Saroi (a Sumerian Sar) is currently thought to be 3,600 years, the Neros 600 years, and the Sassos 60 years. These assertions are incorrect. Scholars who errantly assume that the Saros is 3,600 years, have never been able to reconcile the inordinate number of years that each king reigned, and so the numbers have largely remained a mystery. Fasold reconciled these errors and was able to determine that a saros was simply a period of 3,600 days, which was, before the flood, a period of 12 years, or one Saroi. So when a king reigned for 64,800 (days) he actually reigned for 18 Saroi or 216 pre-flood years. These numbers by the way reflect certain measurements of the Temple (Beit Rishon) specifically those of the columns. At any rate, when you divide 64,800 days by the number of days in a pre-flood year (which was 300) you get 216 years. David knew this to be true, although he never understood the significance of the number as it would relate to the letters of God’s Name or the geometry of the evan shetiyah. Indeed, few do.

The king list below is similar to the one presented above, except with the addition of columns showing the number of days that each king reigned. It also shows the number of 12 year periods (Saroi) that correspond to what would amount to terms of office (much like the U.S. president serves for 4 years and can be re-elected for another 4). Before the Flood, any given king would serve for 12 years with the number of 12 year periods depending on any given king’s circumstances. The maximum was in most cases either 10 periods of 12 years (the precedent set by Adam) or 18 periods of 12 years (the precedent set by God).

You will notice that the Weld Prism rounds hundreds (of days) to the nearest thousand, which is an indication that it is less accurate. Indeed, several periods of reign are different from those given to us by Berosus. However, since the Prism has established itself as inaccurate by virtue of its rounding errors, the remaining discrepancies are likely errors as well. Nevertheless, from these rounding errors we can logically infer that Berosus list is not only accurate, but literally accurate to the day. 

Notice that the numbers on Berosus list all divide by 12, by 300, and by 3600. This is because the earth's orbit really was 300 days as the archaeological records would seem to indicate. The numbers are divisible by 12, 300, and 3600, because the “term" (of office) was one saroi, or 12 years (3600 pre-flood days (12 x 300 = 3600). In fact, if you add up the total number of days that each King/king (God plus all 10 pre-flood "kings") reigned (496,800) and divide by 300, you get 1,656 years, which is the exact amount of time the Torah account provides as the period of time elapsed between the creation of Adam and the mabul/flood. In other words, the Torah effectively puts its stamp of approval on the numbers conveyed in this document as long as one realizes that Fasold's assertions were correct. These facts not only prove beyond reasonable doubt that either the pre-flood kings knew God's Name or simply honored the precedent He set, without knowing the reason. It also proves that the earth's orbit at that time was in fact 300 days. There really is no other viable conclusion.

The Prism meanwhile, gives us alternate names for these ten kings; confirms the identity of the mythological Zeus; and provides the basis for identifying his relatives (the other false gods) in various cultures.

The significance of this should not be underestimated. The facts, taken as a whole, indicate that everything we've discussed in this blog about God's Name and the connection that it has to such things as the history of mankind; the events and the nature of so many things described in Torah; the mathematic and geometric connections to the luchot; in particular the star tetrahedron (magen david) in both two and three dimensions; the physics of time and space; quantum mechanics; biology and celestial dynamics; are all very real reflections of the letters in God's Explicit Name, and that the various underlying components of our reality are literally defined by those letters. The fact that they are all interconnected and that these connections can be seen quite clearly through the prism of the magen david (the mathematic and geometric nature of the 216 letters) is astonishing, but when you consider how it has been so carefully concealed from the casual observer you can begin to see the magnitude of the plan, that was specifically designed to unfold over a period of 6,000 years (6 days). 

Once again, it is the Jewish people who are central to this plan. The very existence of the Jewish people, over the millennia, in spite of all odds, testifies to the existence of God. It is the Jewish people who have preserved knowledge of this Name, how to pronounce its letters and when and under what circumstances it is permissible to pronounce. When the nations come to know the role the Jewish people play in the cosmic scheme of things, and stop their incessant attempts to abrogate God's promise to Israel (regarding for example it's future borders) or their attempts to delegitimize Israel or (God forbid) destroy it altogether, then and only then, will there be peace on earth.

Footnote 1 - Morning prayers
Footnote 2 – These would later be known as the 7 Noahide laws, which after the Flood and re-population of the world, mankind was required to observe. As Noah was the oldest survivor of the Flood, and since he taught them even before the Flood, they became known as the 7 Noahide laws.
Footnote 3 - In some sources Zeus and Jupiter are considered to be one in the same (merely two different names for the same person). This can be explained by the magnitude of confusion and error being transmitted across so many ancient civilizations, and also by the acceptance of gilgul as the basis for hereditary right to rule. Over the centuries, the truth (or really the accuracy of what happened) was lost in the mechanics of "tradition."
Footnote 4 - David was a personal friend
Footnote 5 - After the Flood, the sceptre, mantle, and kingship that they represented, did not necessarily pass from father to son. Sometimes it skipped a generation or more.
Footnote 6 - The number 108 in "hundreds" also alludes to Hevel's "going away" by the hand of Kayin. The gematria of "lehk lehka" (go away) is 100, which by the strangest of coincidences, also happens to be the name of the next parashah.  
Footnote 7 - A gilgul is like reincarnation. It is not a a physical return, but rather the return of the soul to complete its tikkun (rectification).
