Korach

Parashah Korach is a mathematic corollary to Parashah BeMidbar. In fact, the reflection of God’s Name that we saw in BeMidbar amounts to a ‘mathematic prophecy’ that is manifested in the events of Korach.

In BeMidbar, we pointed out that Eleazar was responsible for transporting (among other things) the qetoret (incense) and the shemen ha'mishchah (anointing oil). These two items figure prominently in this week's parashah in the rebellion of Korach against Moshe and Aaron. 

God appointed Moshe to lead Israel. Moshe made the anointing oil and he in turn anointed Aaron, who was the first Cohen HaGadol (High Priest). As the leaders of Israel, these two men had a special connection to the anointing oil.  Korach, on the other hand did not. He and his rebels did have an ancillary connection to the incense, since they brought their fire pans (for burning the incense) as part of the rebellion, and it is in the characteristics of these events that we find the mathematic corollary. 

We will examine the corollary in a moment. In the meantime, if you are new to this blog, please 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 this 'Signature' 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. For those who have already read these essential constructs, this week’s parashah will provide another example of this geometric signature and we’ll use it to demonstrate the connection.

Before we do, please remember that the 216 letters of the Name that define the cosmic blueprint, correlate not only in the volumetric measure of the luchot (216 cubic hand-breadths) but such things as the number of square hand-breadths on its six surfaces (216 square hand-breadths) and the total number of degrees in its twenty-four 90 degree angles (2,160 degrees) not to mention the many aspects of its internal geometry like the 72 triangular corners of the star tetrahedron or three-dimensional magen david within (216 vertices). Also keep in mind that two of the above mentioned examples are static aspects of geometry (common to any cube) while two are entirely dependent on the measure of one cube in particular, the cubit-cubed (of six hand-breadths) or shnei luchot in combined cubic form. Therefore, it stands to reason that the point of convergence between the two (static and potentially variable parameters) and their correlation with the letters of the Name, should also be found in the 'geometry' and 'measure' of events described by the letters of Torah, in the history of the Jewish people. We see two specific examples in this parashah.

You may recall that the amount of incense and the amount of shemen (anointing oil) that Eleazar was required to transport, were both multiples of the number of letters in God’s Name. These mathematic reflections initiated in BeMidbar, ripple forward in time to this parashah where we see them take physical form in the events related to Korach’s rebellion. There were specifically 250 men who supported Korach in this rebellion. These 250 men brought their fire pans to burn incense, whereupon the 250 were swallowed up by the earth because they refused to accept the leaders whom God had designated (Moshe and Aaron).

Remember how much incense Eleazar was required to transport in BeMidbar? It was 54 (thousand drams). This is a context-related multiple of the letters in God’s Name. Divide the 54 thousand by 216 and you get 250, the very same number of people in the rebellion who had brought their fire pans to burn this very substance (54 thousand divided by 216 = 250). The number (as a multiple of the letters in the Name) and context (the incense as it pertains to that multiple) are the same.

The four quadrants of the cube [of creation] (shown below) are like any of the four-letter subsets of HaShem HaMeforash (like the Havayah Ehyeh) and each quadrant equates to 54 of the 216 elements of the matrix (54 cubic hand-breadths of the 216 cubic hand-breadths). 

Four Times 54 = 216

The mirror image of the event (as a function of the number of letters) doesn’t end with the incense. We also find it in the numbers corresponding to the anointing oil. Moshe and Aaron were the leaders of Israel. In their position as leaders, both had a direct connection to the anointing oil, Moshe having made it and Aaron having been anointed with it. Remember how much anointing oil Moshe had made, and Eleazar was required to transport? It was 12 lugim or 432 drams. Divide 432 by 216 and you get 2, another specific context-related multiple of the number of letters in God's Name (the volumetric measure for each of the two sets of luchot ultimately brought down by Moshe was 216 cubic hand-breadths - the total being 432 cubic hand-breadths) and so we see also a correlation with the number of people that Korach and his people rejected (Moshe and Aaron ~ two). Again the number (as a multiple of the letters in the Name) and the context (this time the anointing oil as it pertains to that multiple) are identical. 

2 times 216 = 432

  
          250 who rebelled with Korach are juxtaposed against...
                 ...the 2 leaders of Israel (Moshe and Aaron).

                           250 who brought their fire pans to burn incense...
                              ...juxtaposed against the 2 that (either made) or were anointed w/oil.

                                            250 x 216 = the amount of incense
                                                    ....Eleazer was required to transport
                                                         ...juxtaposed against the 2 x 216 (drams)
                                                             ...that was the amount of oil (432)
                                                                 ...he was required to transport.

 
In other words, insofar as both Korach and BeMidbar are concerned, the number 250 is a function of the amount of incense as it relates to the letters of the Name and this is juxtaposed against the two who were the subject of the rebellion, which is a function of the amount of anointing oil as it relates to the letters of God's Name. 

In each case, the numbers are multiples of the 'measure' of the luchot, that is in turn 'measured' according to the letters in the Triad Havayah of 72, and both find their physical manifestation in Korach, where they define, in perfect context, the characteristics of the events. This is just one of many examples that comes to show how the cube [of creation] or foundation stone (combined cubic form of the shnei luchot) defines reality.

 

Sh'lach

The process of tikkun olam seems to be built into the mathematic and geometric structure of the luchot! The word tikkun means “rectification,” and the word olam refers to “the world” that God has (and is) creating. The phrase tikkun olam refers to the process by which God repairs that world. It's an ongoing process that shows up in the cyclic pattern of key events and the unique characteristics of those events. Not only does it have a mathematic fingerprint, but that same fingerprint appears throughout biblical history, and even the later history of Israel.

We will examine the process and the mathematic pattern in a moment. In the meantime, if you are new to this blog, please 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 this 'Signature' 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 week’s parashah provides another example of this geometry and we’ll use it to demonstrate the premise as it pertains to tikkun olam.

In Sh’lach we are introduced to the 10 'scouts' that sway the minds of the people and the events leading to the 40 years in the wilderness. The subtle relationship between the actions of these scouts; the people who listened to them; and the ultimate demise of those involved, is a textbook example of this process of tikkun and its mathematic and geometric properties that are hidden in the luchot.

These 'numbers' are an integral part of the sapphire stone that was 'divided' into male~female halves, and then 'brought down'. In sefer yetzirah (1:1) we read that when God "...created His universe [He did so] ...with three books [SePhaRim] ...with text [SePheR] ...with number [SePhaR] …and with story (communication) [SiPpuR] all alluding to the SapPhiRe cube [of creation](luchot). You may remember from the post on the nature of sapphire, that its measure of clarity (the ratio between its wavelength and index of refraction) is 72. The nature of tikkun is mathematically defined by the most basic geometric properties of this sapphire cube, its measure being limited as-it-were by the 216 (three x 72) letters of the Name. You will see these properties at work in a moment.

We'll start by focusing on the characteristics of the five internal mathematic constructs that are a function of the geometry. The math is a bit steep, however it helps to understand that each of these constructs and their characteristics, essentially define the edges, faces and vertices of five regular convex polyhedrons more commonly known as the platonic solids. Each of these constructs has a polar opposite (each being a "self dual"). We modeled these in the post on string theory and the luchot to show how the cube [of creation] defined the underlying physics of the universe. In this post we will show how the same constructs form the underlying basis for tikkun olam.  

Simply stated, the 5 internal mathematic constructs and their 5 polar opposites can be thought of as 5 opposite 5 for purpose of identifying a certain pattern that repeats itself, not only in Torah, but physics and other areas of science as well. We should point out that all cubes have this mathematic characteristic. However the cube we are referring to is the "cubit-cubed," and the measure of all that was (and is to be). It is the primal form of the shnei luchot with an intrinsic nature defined by 216 elements in the form of a very specific measure (6 x 6 x 6 = 216 cubic hand-breadths). These hand-breadths are in turn a reflection of a larger reality defined by the 216 letters of God's Explicit Name. It is the constructs within a cube so defined, that give rise to the physical universe and its various hidden aspects. 

We’ll begin our examination with a brief description of how this cubic geometry finds its way into actual historic events (the process is elaborated upon by the Sages of Israel and you will likely recognize it in a moment) after which, we'll show how it pertains to this parashah. 

The geometry (of the events) will be presented as a mathematic poem focusing on a repeating pattern of 10 things that are either 5 opposite 5, or 10 things that are not. Contemplate carefully what you read below.

In a small corner of the universe where time as we know it does not exist...

10 “spheres” descend...
The spheres are in a single column one after the other (neither male, nor female)
In this form they are unable to hold the light of the Ein Sof...
Unable to fulfill their purpose...
The 10 spheres shatter...

A reflection of this “event” appears in the physical universe where time does exist...

10 pre-flood ‘kings’ arise, Adam through Noah...
The 10 reign consecutively, one after the other, but...
Despite their own personal perfection...
They are unable to transmit that light (knowledge of God) to the people...
The people degenerate...
The lives of the 10 kings (and their entire world) comes to an end in a flood...

Tikkun begins...

                       The 10 spheres are brought back...
                       This time the spheres are 5 opposite 5 (sefer yetzirah)
                       In this male-female form, they are able to transmit the light...
                       
                       The letters of creation are now visible...
                       5 of these letters have 2 different forms (normal or sofit)
                       They are 5 of one type, opposite 5 of another (5 opposite 5)
                       a mirror image of the spheres...
                       that in turn mirror the pattern established by the blueprint...
                       5 constructs that are male and 5 that are female...
                       
                       The letters of the 10 sayings of creation incorporate these constructs...
                       So when it comes time for God to destroy what He created (mabul/flood)...
                       He does so in like manner...

                       These 'letters' describe the waters...
                       that rise for 5 months and then recede for 5 months... 
 
                       In that corner of the universe where time moves forward...

                           10 more kings arise after the flood (Shem through Avraham)
                                  Shem (son of Noach)
                                       Arpachshad
                                            Shelach
                                                 Eyver
                                                      Peleg
                                                          Re'u
                                                               Se'rug
                                                                     Nachor
                                                                          Terach and
                                                                                Avraham
                          
                           These 10 kings are different...
                               some establish schools...
                                  to disseminate knowledge/light to the people....

                           The 1st set of 5 kings reign ‘before’
                                     ...the separation of the continents.

                           The 2nd set of 5 kings reign ‘after’
                                     ...the separation of the continents

                           The kings thus reflect the specifications of the blueprint
                                     ...and reign 5 opposite 5 (quite literally)
                                        ...like the nature of the spheres
                                           ...that were 5 opposite 5
                                              ...like the nature of the letters
                                                 ...with 5 forms opposite 5 forms
                                                    ...and the nature of the luchot
                                                       ...with the 5 constructs and 5 opposites before them
                                                           ...that defined the specification in the first place

                           During the reign of this second set of 10 kings...
                                                            ...light finally begins to enter the world because...

                          The last of these kings is Avraham...
 
                          So naturally 10 trials are brought to test Avraham (as known)
                                ...He remains faithful (in all 10)
                                    ...and continues to transmit his knowledge of God
                                        ...to all those willing to listen
                                             ...entertaining strangers in his tent for that very purpose!

Time moves forward...
 
Avraham’s descendant’s are not steadfast
    ...and so they go down to Egypt where they
       ...are subjected to fire for purpose of refinement
           ...at the appropriate time the fire will be extinguished
               ...and the more refined souls will be removed from the furnace.

                      The catalyst for this (further) rectification
                           ...must now be entered into the equation.

                                  So 10 of the brothers1 sell Yoseph into slavery
                                       ...fulfilling God’s plan that was
                                          ...written in the stone of SapPhiRe
                                             ...with 5 internal geometric constructs that are self-duals
                                                ...the brothers inadvertently set the wheels in motion
                                                    ...a mathematic reflection of the eventual ‘rectification’
                                                       ...is seen when 5 silver shekels are split in half
                                                          ...among the 10 brothers
                                                             ...leading to their eventual descent into Egypt
                                                                ...for rectification.
                                                                   ...where the furnace is ignited.


Time once again moves forward...

The Egyptians refuse to let Israel go
   ...the dark side intervenes to prevent the building of the Temple
       ...which prevents the light from entering the world
          ...God provides the means for the light to escape
             ...and the dark side is subjected to 10 plagues
                ...the dark side is then destroyed by these 10 in succession
                   ...like the 10 kings before them that were destroyed in the flood
                      ...and like the 10 spheres before them that were shattered.

                             With destruction of the dark, the light escapes...

                                   The 10 have an entirely different (rectifying effect) on Israel
                                      ...Israel perceives them as 5 upper and 5 lower plagues2 (as known)
                                            ...preparing them to receive the light
                                                ...so they can transmit that light to the world.
 

Israel thus arrives at Sinai where the process again resets.
 
     10 commandments are given
         ...Israel is not yet capable of holding or transmitting this powerful light to the world
            ...so the 10 commandments are shattered
                ...like the 10 pre-flood kings before them
                    ...and the 10 spheres before them
                        ...all being reflections of the blueprint.

                                    But then...

                                           The 10 commandments are brought down a second time
                                              ...and now the people are capable of
                                                 ...receiving this light
                                                     ...5 commandments on one, opposite 5 on the other
                                                            ...transmitting this light to the world                                                                                                ...they begin halachic observance
                                                                    ...fulfilling the standard set by the King.

 
The ripple thus continues to move forward through time
    ...until it arrives at this place and time (in Sh'lach)
        ...where the 10 'scouts' arise
           ...and do what the dark side was previously unable to accomplish.

                ...the 10 “scouts4” unanimously ‘agree to disagree’ with God and Moshe
                   ...they are united in their attempt
                     ...to prevent Israel from fulfilling God’s purpose
                       ...entering the Land
                          ...building the Temple
                             ...transmitting the light to the world.
                                ...the people are not yet ready
                                    ...the 10 scouts die immediately
                                       ...like all those before them
                                          ...who were unable or unwilling to transmit the light
                                             ...like those destroyed by the 10 plagues
                                                ...like the 10 pre-flood kings
                                                   ...like the 10 sphere’s

 
The lives of the remaining people are shattered by 40 years in the wilderness, during which time their lives come to an end (those that prevented the light). Moving forward through time we see many events where people prevent or try to prevent the light from eventually entering the world, for example:

The 10 sons of Haman oppose God and Israel
   ...they are united in their attempt
      ...to prevent Israel from fulfilling God’s purpose
         ...to prevent their return to the Land
            ...to prevent them from (re)building the Temple
               ...to prevent them from transmitting the light to the world               
                  ...so the 10 are hung on the gallows and
                     ...they cease to exist
                         ...like all those who went before them
                            ...like those destroyed by the 10 plagues
                                ...like the 10 pre-flood kings
                                    ...like the 10 sphere’s 

Jumping ahead to the more distant future....

Hitler’s 10 henchmen oppose God and Israel
    ...they too unite to prevent Israel from fulfilling God’s purpose by
       ...preventing Israel from returning to (re)build the Temple and
          ...in so doing, prevent light from entering the world
             ...the 10 are convicted at Nuremberg
                ...hung on the gallows and
                   ...cease to exist
                      ...like the 10 son's of Haman who were also hung on the gallows and
                         ...ceased to exist
                            ...and the many "10's" who went before them.
                               ...like the 10 pre-flood kings and
                                  ...the 10 sphere’s
                                     ...all of which did not, in their respective time
                                        ...meet the minimal specifications within the blueprint  

Despite this attempt by Hitler and his 10 henchmen, the Jewish people begin returning to Israel. History repeats itself over and over again. In each case, the numbers and sets of numbers are the same. Why do we see the same pattern over and over again? What is it? What does it mean? Where does it originate?

All of the above events are really a reflection of a much larger reality that revolves around the mathematic characteristics of the blueprint defined by the letters of God’s Name. The ‘specifications’ for the events are found in the sapphire cube that has 5 internal mathematic constructs together with 5 polar opposites (a total of 10). This particular cube is 6 x 6 x 6 cubic hand-breadths, with 216 elements that reflect the Signature of the Architect. That is why these seminal events take this form. The same geometric characteristics are found in the star tetrahedron (magen david) as described in other posts. 

The pattern, in rectified form, appears in the spheres when they return 5 opposite 5 (sefer yetzirah) after which they take form in the letters of creation where 5 letters have 5 specific counterparts (normal and sofit, positioned at the beginning or end of a word as is commonly known). The specific requirements for the process are then found after the division into the luchot, where we see 5 commandments on one, opposite 5 commandments on the other. For 5 months the waters rose and for 5 months they receded. We see 5 tapestries sewn together at one end of the mishkan and 5 sewn together at the other. There were 5 specific things in the first Temple, but those 5 things were not in the second (and these are but a few examples). 

When any given aspect of creation meets the minimal specifications required by the blueprint, where there are at least 5 opposite 5 (in a mixed state of good and evil) then it is allowed to continue. When it is characterized by 10 elements that are unanimous and resolute in their opposition to the light, those elements are destroyed, there is a reset, and the process of bringing them back in a rectified form begins (as seen in key events). This is the nature of tikkun olam and it inevitably repeats itself. 

The "Ten" are Hidden in the Geometry of the SapPhiRe Cube

5 Opposite 5

(the cube of the mem-tet angel depicting the constructs defined by the 216)
(and measured by  42 sets of 42 linear hand-breadths shown in the post on "42 Letters in Sapphire")

The mathematic nature of the above constructs define various events, like the division of the cube [of metatron] (6 x 6 x 6 or 216 cubic hand-breadths) into two halves (108 cubic hand-breadths opposite 108 cubic hand-breadths) with 5 commandments on one, opposite 5 commandments on the other (the mirror image of the geometry in the five constructs that are self-duals). Each is a reflection of a larger reality that flows from the ultimate unity, the Blessed Holy One, whose Name, with 216 letters, defines the measure for everything in the created universe.

 
The Combined Cubic Form of the Shnei Luchot
6 x 6 x 6
10: 5 opposite 5

Remember the gematria of the Tetragrammaton? The gematria of yud-key-vav-key (YHWH) is 10, 5, 6, 5. See anything in the geometry of the (gem)stones above that looks familiar? 

It should come as no surprise that we also see this same pattern in the mathematics corresponding to the 5 string theories in physics that are reconciled by “dual resonance” wherein the male-female wave forms dictate the underlying rules of physics (ultimately quantum chromodynamics). The universe must take the form that is specified in the blueprint, and so it does.

Each of these reflections requires contemplation to fully appreciate. Please understand that it is not possible to see the world on this level without first looking into the geometry of the [primordial] Torah. The events (especially those pertaining to Israel) and the geometry in the combined cubic form of the sapphire tablets, are one in the same.

Next week, in Parashah Korach we will see how the letters of the Name in combination with cause and effect, become the template for future events and even specify the character of those events. Watch for it.

BeHa'alothekha

In this week's parashah we find two specific instances where "3 measures of 6" are an integral part of the narrative. These 3 measures of 6 are a rather unique allusion to the ratio of the sapphire brick/brickwork that was seen by Moshe under the throne of God (in Mishpatim). You may recall the first set of luchot were shattered and the people missed their chance to receive them, but then a second set was brought down and given to the people. So it is with the two instances. One is hidden (missing from a specific mathematic progression) and the other instance is revealed in the actual numbers that are given. We'll examine these two instances and their significance in a moment.  

In the meantime, if you are new to this blog, please 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 this 'Signature' 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 (please note that this post is particularly long and involved, but at the same time, it is relatively easy to understand. If you take the time to study the material and contemplate what is said, you will no doubt find it profound and highly significant!

We will start by looking at the '3 measures of 6' in this parashah: “Now God is going to give you meat and you shall have to eat it. You will eat it, not for 1 day, not for 2 days, not for 5 days, not for 10 days, not for 20 days, but for a full month [30 days] until it is coming out of your nose and making you nauseous.” This is a curious sequence of numbers. The Torah rarely, if ever, mentions anything inconsequential like a series of inapplicable numbers, before mentioning an applicable number. More curious, these numbers correspond to 6 specific periods of time, in days, and their simple mathematic product is 60,000. The text continues by quoting Moshe who says, “Here I am on foot with 600,000 men.” 

One cannot help but notice that these numbers constitute 3 measures of 6, reminiscent of the 3 measures of flour in Avraham’s tent (VaYera) each being 6 ounces, or the 6 days that Moshe spent in the cloud; with 6 days going back and forth; beginning or ending on the 6th of Sivan (Mishpatim).

In this case however, the measures are a progressive expansion of 6 that is best expressed mathematically as 6 (ones); 6 (tens of thousands); and 6 (hundred thousand). Even more curious, but less noticeable, is the fact that the mathematic progression happens to be missing what would otherwise be another '3 measures of 6.'

Listed below are the 3 measures of 6 that are nigleh (revealed in the numbers given as a function of the actual text) as well as their nistar (hidden) counterparts, or 3 measures of 6 that are not found in the text (shown in blue/grey) but nevertheless a part of the logical mathematic progression.

6 (ones)
6 (tens)
6 (hundreds)
6 (thousands)
6 (tens of thousands)
6 (hundreds of thousands)

We'll come back to this mathematic progression and the measures that are nistar in the paragraphs' ahead. However, in the meantime, in order to set the stage, so that we can peer beyond the veil and understand the significance of these two sets of numbers, we'll use the following story to provide some background: 

Once upon a time there was a king who possessed great power and strength. His kingdom was built by a special viceroy who, with the help of his descendant’s, were instructed to complete the project in 600 years (you may remember this king from the post on Metzora where the first part of the story was told, or the short version in the construct entitled "The Parable of the Sapphire Kingdom." If not, this would be a good time to review one or the other). In this post, we will tell the rest of the story.

The king decreed that everything in the kingdom was to be built according to the pattern established by the letters of his name. Everything would thus reflect the royal signature. The king also wanted the roads in the kingdom to be built like the spokes of a wheel. Not only would their design correspond to the royal name, but whenever the people used the roads, they would remember the king. The palace where the king lived, would be at the very center of the kingdom. That way, each road could lead the traveler directly to the palace, or away from it, depending on where they wanted to go. In addition to the king’s signature being a part of every road in the kingdom, it was also to be embedded in the cornerstone of each building, and stamped on all the official documents.

The reason the king had his royal signature placed throughout the kingdom, was that he knew it was in the nature of men to forget. This was especially true since most men would never see him, let alone recognize him. However, he hoped that the presence of his signature or royal seal would remind the people of what he had done for them throughout his reign.

The king also built a wall around the kingdom, a wall that would define the outer parts of the kingdom. The wall had four towers to remind the people that he was watching over them even to the outermost parts. There was a small town near the wall and there were even cities and towns beyond the wall, but all belonged to the king. The king preferred to stay in the city where his palace was built, because this was where his children lived.

Well as time passed, the king’s subjects began to rebel. They engaged in all manner of strange behavior until the king became angry. Now as we mentioned, the king possessed great power and strength. In fact, the king had such great strength that whenever he stamped his foot, the ground would shake. The king was a very patient king however, and he had always exercised restraint. But the day finally came when the king could no longer abide by the rebellion in his kingdom. He stamped his foot on the ground so hard that not only did the ground shake, but fissures began to open everywhere. Cracks appeared in the roads and before long, they lost their original shape and form. The water pipes under the streets broke and the buildings above began to crumble. The roads were so badly damaged that travelers could no longer find their way to the palace. By the time the king’s anger subsided, there was very little left. The pattern of the letters that was so clearly evident in the roads, was not so easy to see anymore. Even the wall that the king had built around his kingdom was damaged. The towers, the foundation of the walls and the outer towns had even moved from their original place.

The people were frightened. They had never seen the king become angry, nor did they realize his great strength. They had always taken their king’s benevolence for granted and never realized that he would do this sort of thing. Once the king’s anger began to subside, they attempted to rebuild the kingdom, so they cleaned up the mud, the water, and the rubble from the streets, but it was too late. The king had removed himself from their presence and could no longer be found. No one knew what he looked like, and they couldn’t even remember the design of the royal seal, much less his name, so they were at loss as to how to proceed. They turned to the descendants of the viceroy but they too had forgotten, and could not remember any of the king’s instructions. To make matters worse, the ground still shook from time to time, so even the things they tried to rebuild would crumble. 

Well, time passed, and the king’s anger abated. The kingdom would need to be rebuilt, and so the king eventually revealed himself to one of the viceroy’s descendants. This particular man was very special, and so the king decided that all the knowledge and trust that he had originally vested in the viceroy, would be given to this man and his descendants. The king even provided them with a book of instructions. The kingdom might thereby be rebuilt according to the king’s high standards. The king’s subjects however, did not know of the king’s plan to renew the kingdom through the work of this man. When they saw the preferential treatment the king extended to him and his family, they became jealous and tried to kill them.

This angered the king even more and so eventually the king stamped his foot once more until the ground throughout the kingdom moved so far from its original place, that even the sun in the sky seemed to move from its place. Suddenly, the entire world realized that this family must be special, so for the sake of their lives and their well being, the king’s subjects decided to make friends with the family that seemed to have gained the king’s favor.

It would have been nice if the story could end there, with the kingdom being rebuilt and the family gaining the trust and respect of the king’s other subjects. But that’s not what happened. You see, the king’s signature and royal seal were no longer easy to see, having been obliterated, and so, not having anything to remind them of the king’s name; his careful design of the kingdom or his benevolent rule; or what had happened in the past when their forefathers had rebelled; they eventually became just as bad as their forefathers, who had caused the destruction in the first place. And so it continues to this day. The reminders (in the design of the kingdom) are all but gone. There is little physical evidence to suggest this king ever existed. The signature and the royal seal of the king are buried so far beneath the mountain of rubble, caused by the king’s anger, that it cannot be seen except by those who know what to look for, or those determined enough to dig and recover this lost knowledge of their king. The subjects are as distant from the king as ever, and without any reminders, there is little reason for the people to fear his anger and change their ways. The king, it seems, left all but a few to their inevitable fate.

The meaning of the story may already be evident to the reader, at least in part. The King once again is God and the viceroy was Adam. The roads (like the spokes of a wheel) are the precise measure of the earth’s surface in degree’s, arc-minutes and arc-seconds. The King allotted 6,000 years for creation, which mirrors’ the 6 days of creation as is known. When we divide the 3 dimensions of ‘space’ exemplified in the measurement of the earth’s surface (the kingdom) in latitude and longitude (a total of 1,296,000 arc-seconds) by the 6,000 years of ‘time,’ allotted by the King for the creation of his kingdom, we get the number of letters in the King’s Explicit Name (216). We explained this in our post on Metzora and also the essential construct entitled "The Parable of the Sapphire Kingdom." Today, this measurement is slightly "damaged" and appears to be a coincidence even though it is a reasonably accurate "remnant" of the original Signature (the letters of this Name being known only to the Jewish people).

In this continuation of the story, the wall at the outermost part of the kingdom is the circumference of the lunar orbit. The town that was near this wall is the moon itself (its radius being 1,080 of kilometers and diameter being 2,160 of kilometers mirroring the volumetric measure of the cosmic blueprint/luchot, as explained in the post on "The Primordial Torah"). The 4 towers are the 4 phases of the moon that correspond to the King’s Signature in the abbreviated form of 4 letters. The cities and towns outside the wall refer to the sun and other celestial objects in its orbit.

After God created the world, there were 10 generations that followed (the reign of the 10 pre-flood kings from Adam to Noah was explained in the post on Beresheit and Noach). The King’s subjects rebelled however, so the King (God) caused the earth to shake. Fissures opened up causing the subterranean waters to come forth and flood the streets (the world). The layout of the streets includes the earth’s exact equatorial size and orbital circumference in relation to that of the sun and the moon. These "streets" were no longer the same. As a result of the destruction brought by the King, the orbital relationship of these celestial objects changed, ever so slightly, along with any obvious connection to the King's Name. Even their equatorial size as a function of the new orbits was altered (we’ll provide specific examples in a moment).

When the flood waters subsided, the King’s subjects started to rebuild the world, but their descendants soon forgot, and eventually continued the rebellion. Then, after the birth of Peleg, some 300 years after the flood,  the King (God) shook the earth once again and the continents broke apart. Today this is generally referred to as continental drift. These events are mentioned in the Torah, the book that preserved this knowledge, although there are many cryptic references in other sources.

In order to rebuild His kingdom, God revealed Himself to one very special man. The man's name was Avraham. The King continued to reveal himself to this man’s descendants, Yitzak and Ya'acov, and then finally, only to Yaacov’s descendants who continued to “build” according to the standards of the King and with few diversions have continued to do so. The King gave the descendant's of these men Torah to provide them with the necessary instructions (this Torah was a letter-form redaction of its primordial mathematic equivalent, essentially the combined cubic form of the luchot).

The family however was eventually persecuted by those who were unfamiliar with the King’s plan and the oppression made their work more difficult. Many succumbed to the pressure and gave up, at which point the book of instructions (Torah) was all but forgotten. Eventually one of the descendants, king Hezekiah restored the study of Torah (the King’s standard) to his entire family. In a gesture to Hezekiah and those among the king’s other subjects that might oppose him, He caused the sun to move backward 10 degrees ("even the sun in the sky seemed to move from it's place").

This miracle was apparent to all the subjects, not just the family of builders. We know this because of the historical account describing how the king of Babylon sent a letter to Hezekiah, seeking to curry favor. That letter was written by one of the court's scribes and began: “Peace to the great king Hezekiah. Peace to the great city of Jerusalem. Peace to the great God of Israel [who performed this miracle].” You may have noticed that the letter mentioned God last, when it should have mentioned Him first. This was entirely inappropriate.

There was another scribe however, who was not present when the letter was written. This scribe arrived just as the messenger was leaving to deliver it to Hezekiah. When he asked how it was worded, and discovered the error in the wording, he was horrified. The scribe quickly rush out to catch the messenger and change the greeting so that it referenced God first. The diligence of this scribe did not go unnoticed and God rewarded him by making him the next king of Babylon. The scribe’s name, by the way, was Nebuchadnezzar. 

It wasn't just the Babylonians who knew what had happened. The nations were all keenly aware that the sun had returned 10 degrees for Hezekiah (which was in fact the reason for the above letter) and so they all sought to make alliances with Israel. Whatever had caused the sun to retrace its steps, evidently forced all nations to make adjustments to their calendars. The adjustment involved 5 additional days as indicated by the historical accounts of various civilizations existing at the time. That brings us to the premise that there was a time, prior to these events, wherein the earth orbited the sun every 360 days (as opposed to 365 1/4 days as it does today) and where the King's Signature was once so clearly seen (we referred to this period of time in the post on BeMidbar).

If one takes the time to research the premise, they will find ample evidence to support the theory. We won’t detail the theories in this post. The reader is free to do their own research. Just enter “360 day year” into any search engine and you'll get a listing of millions of pages dealing with the subject.
 
We will however demonstrate that the change in the orbit altered the Signature that corresponds to the King’s Name, so that the people would forever lose the ability to see its connection to the intelligent design of the kingdom.

When the King destroyed the world, the numbers, sets of numbers and ratio’s that were so clearly a reflection of His Name, and His blueprint (cube of creation / luchot) that until then could be seen everywhere in the layout and design of the kingdom in the form of the orbits, and the size of the celestial “cities and towns,” all but disappeared. However, if we reverse engineer those numbers (and this is possible) we can get a glimpse of how remarkable that design was. The numbers reveal the connection between the original design of this kingdom, and the letters of God’s Explicit Name.

A brilliant mathematician and astronomer by the name of Johannes Kepler proposed the first cogent laws of planetary motion. One of the things that he posited was that as the orbit of a planetary body changed, its axial rotation and corresponding equatorial oblation would also change, as would its polar circumference. The changes would all be relative to one another. According to the laws of planetary motion advanced by Kepler, the equatorial circumference could even be calculated.

For purpose of our explanation concerning the design of the kingdom, the unit of measure that is most important is the nautical mile which is a function of the equatorial circumference of the earth in terms of its measure in arc-minutes. The number of arc-minutes in 360 degrees is 21,600, so the measure of the earth’s circumference in nautical miles should be exactly 21,600 miles, where the nautical mile is exactly 6,000 feet. The problem is that it is not. If you measure the current circumference of the earth, its slightly over 21,600 nautical miles, and so the current measure of a nautical mile is slightly over 6,000 feet. Today we calculate the nautical mile at roughly 6,076 feet. However, if we reverse engineer these measurements with the help of Kepler’s laws, the equatorial oblation shrinks, as does the nautical mile, and the measurement returns to  21,600, where each mile is exactly 6,000 feet, or something so close as to be indistinguishable. 


(Note: The 360 degrees (or portions) of a circle or sphere are self-embedded in the measured geometry of the foundation stone (combined cubic form of the shnei luchot or two tablets) as a function of its measurements. A detailed explanation of how the "stone" (which is essentially a mathematic system at the heart of the universe) defines these 360 degrees can be found in the construct entitled: The 360 Degrees of a Sphere.
 
Now pay attention, because this is where it gets interesting. Under the scenario described in the preceding paragraphs, the lunar orbit also shifts. The lunar orbital circumference is currently around 1,302,116 nautical miles. However, when it is reverse engineered to account for the change in the Earth's orbit, the circumference of the lunar orbit shrinks to a distance that is somewhere very near 1,296,000 nautical miles. If you read the post on Metzora, that number should sound vaguely familiar. It also happens to be the number of arc-seconds in the 360 degrees by which the earth itself (or any other sphere) is currently measured (1,296,000 arc-seconds). This coincidence is a bit more than just astounding. In Metzora, when we divided this number by the number of years that God allotted for creation (6,000 years) it gave us the primary number corresponding to the royal signature (216) which is the number of letters in God’s Name. In this case however, we are NOT dealing with arc-seconds but the result is essentially the same. Here we are dealing with the measure of a nautical mile; the circumference of the lunar orbit; and the earth’s equatorial circumference. They are the exact same numbers! Divide the number of nautical miles in the lunar orbit adjusted to account for a 360 day year (1,296,000 nautical miles) by the number of feet in a nautical mile at that time (6,000) and the result is the same (216). It's the number of letters in the King’s Name.

All of these numbers corresponding to the orbital dynamics of the sun, the earth and the moon, had, in the past, a direct connection to God’s Name, but they were evidently obliterated by the King in the centuries following the flood. The people who rebelled, and their descendants, were no longer afforded the opportunity to see this Signature because "the roads and the buildings" that once reflected the Signature so clearly had been damaged. There were exceptions of course. Those who were familiar with the Name (and its mathematic signature) who cared enough to look for it, could see it. Those chosen to restore the kingdom and entrusted with preserving the book could still see it. But others could not. When the earth was destroyed and the design of the kingdom distorted, the mathematic and geometric signature all but vanished. Since the King’s subjects could no longer see the intelligent design behind the kingdom, they were free to go their way and follow their nature. The level of human consciousness subsequently degenerated as well. Even their lifespan decreased, to 120 years as is commonly known. The people who survived, could still see bits and pieces of the signature, but did not recognize it for what it was, and they assumed the few remaining vestiges of these mathematically perfect coincidences, were just that: coincidences (we’ll provide a couple of very accurate examples in a moment). The servants in the story who could still see the King’s Signature are the Jewish people, because they are the only ones who know God's One Unique Explicit Name. The 'Signature' is the sum total of the mathematic constructs that correspond to that Name; the royal seal or emblem of the King, found in such things as the magen david which is a geometric reflection of those characteristics; and "the book" is the Torah (or letter-form redaction) of the cosmic blueprint (luchot).

The signature in the form of "roads" that were like a wheel, are still reasonably intact (that is the current measurement of the earth in terms of nautical miles, latitude and longitude). However, the walls of the outer parts of the kingdom (the celestial dynamics of the earth and the moon) that so clearly reflected the royal signature, have been moved from their original position and so the obvious connection to the King’s Name is gone (although the celestial measurements are still very close). People are now free to act according to their nature and their more base desires, without being encumbered by the King’s standards.

We said a moment ago, that we would provide more specific examples of the royal signature in celestial measures. This is essentially a review of what was explained in the post on "The Primordial Torah." There are several worth mentioning wherein we find a similar change in relationships. It has been known since ancient times that the distance between the earth and the sun is 108 times the diameter of the sun. It was likewise understood that the distance between the earth and the moon, was 108 times the diameter of the moon. This knowledge finds its way into a variety of religions for no apparent reason. In many cases, the number of things corresponding to 108 have their opposite form. It is considered a sacred number, however no one knows exactly why it's considered sacred, or where this ancient knowledge was obtained. All we know is that it is as old as time itself. The radius of the moon happens to be 108 (tens) of miles and the volume of the earth is 108 times 10 to the 10th power in cubic miles, as mentioned in our post on BeHar and BeChukothai, all being derived from the intrinsic characteristics of the combined cubic form of the luchot, with a volumetric measure of 108 cubic hand-breadths for each half, or what we might call the cosmic blueprint (the gematria of the word "half" being 108). A more accurate and complete chart reflecting more recent data will be presented in a moment.

Interestingly, these celestial relationships could not even be proven until modern times, with the help of sophisticated optics for telescopes, computers and other technology. Even more strange is that these traditions have been proven to be true and the ratio just happens to be the same as that of the luchot, where the two halves together correspond to the 216 letters of the Name. It really should come as no surprise then, that the ratio in the distances between these celestial objects, and their sizes and orbits (etcetera) are a reflection of the luchot and the letter’s of the King’s Name. However, in order that this knowledge not interfere with the free will (rebellion) of the King’s subjects, the numbers were subtly changed.

A brief but accurate list (with just a few examples of the many examples provided in the post on the primordial torah) appears below, and reveals an astonishing number of parallels between "the measure" established by the combined cubic form of the luchot and the celestial dynamics of the Sun, Earth and Moon:

Measurements with a variance of less that .001% (less than 1/1000th of 1 percent)
____________________________________________________________

        Equatorial Circumference of the Earth = 216 (Hundreds) of Nautical Miles
                     (Nautical Mile = 1 Arc-Minute of Latitude)
                     (360 x 60 Arc-Minutes = 21,600 or 216 (Hundreds) of Nautical Miles)
                     (exact ~ no variance)

         Equatorial Radius of the Sun: 432,000 Miles (2 x 216 thousand)
                     (almost exact ~ varies less than .01%: 432,687)


Measurements with a variance of less that .1% (less than 1/10th of 1 percent)

        Distance: Earth to the Moon (surface to surface) = 108 x Diameter of the Moon
                     (almost exact ~ varies less than .1% ~ that's 1/10th of 1 percent)
                     (oft quoted distance from 'axial center' to axial center is 109 times
                      the diameter of the Moon)

        Equatorial Radius of the Moon = 108 “tens" of Miles
                     (almost exact ~ varies less than .1% ~ that's 1/10th of 1 percent)
                     (the opposing radius of the diameter is another 108 “tens” of miles
                      making the diameter 216 “tens” of miles)
                     (gravity of the Moon is "of course” 1/6th that of Earth)
                     
        Volume of the Earth: 1.08 x 10 to the 12th power (same as 108 x 10 to the 10th power)
                     (almost exact ~ actual varies less than .1%: 1.083 x 10 to the 12th power)

        Volume of the Sun:1,296,000 x Volume of the Earth
                     (216 x 6,000 = 1,296,000)
                     (almost exact ~ actual varies less than .1%: as much as 1,300,000)


Measurements with a variance of less that .05% (less than 1/2 of 1 percent)

        Equatorial Circumference of the Moon = 108 (Hundreds) of Kilometers
                     (actual varies approx 1%: 109.21)


The "design" of the kingdom is unmistakable. It is a direct reflection of the mathematic and geometric characteristics of the shnei luchot. Our great Sages (of Israel) knew these remarkable things.

The following appears in Section I in "The Book of Lineage," by Rabbi Avraham Zacuto (1452-1515) (Talmudic scholar, philosopher, scientist, historian, astronomer and astrologer, the Great Royal Astronomer at the Court of the Kings of Spain and Portugal, Inventor of the Copper Astrolabe and the Zacuto Tables (Perpetual Almanac of the Heavenly Bodies), Advisor to Columbus and Vasco da Gama) regarding the Tannaic Sage Rabbi Ellazar cHisma (circa 100 CE), who was a great astronomer and mathematician and knew geometry. Rabbi Ellazar cHisma states in the Mishnah in Avot 3:18 – “Celestial mechanics and geometrics are embellishments of wisdom.” Rabbi Avraham Zacuto then gives an explanation of the word, “Gematria” (as Rabbi Ellazar cHisma was well versed in it) which is  pertinent since it is often the focus of this blog: “Gematria is a Greek word, [formed by the contraction of 2 words:] matria [=metria] is ‘measurement’ and Ge[a] is ‘Earth’ [(as in Gaia = ‘Mother Earth’)]. Thus [‘Gematria’] means “the measurements of the Earth” because using it they knew how to calculate the celestial measurements.”

Today, much of this knowledge has been forgotten, and so the reaction of the King’s more rebellious subjects (who more and more gravitate toward academic circles) was/is predictable. Instead of acknowledging the amazing fact that ancient civilizations knew many of these measurements and saw them as significant, or being curious as to how an ancient civilization might acquire such knowledge, they scurrilously point out that the actual distance between the earth and the sun is not really 108, but closer to 107.4 times the sun’s diameter, as is the radius of the moon at 107.9 (tens) of miles. They also point out that the distance between the earth and the moon is closer to 109, and yes, they are correct, because when the earth moved from its orbit of 360 days to that of 365, the original numbers corresponding to 108 also changed by a similar amount. The difference is usually  less than .1% (one tenth of one percent). The ancients perceived the significance, but those who rebelled against the King were no longer permitted to see the royal signature. Instead they would be given enough rope to hang themselves. Today, many people use this discrepancy as an excuse (and that’s what it is) to deny that the King even exists, or that He so carefully designed His kingdom to conform to His Unique Signature. We are told that HaShem hides the fact, that He hides Himself, from mankind. Otherwise, free-will could not exist. We provide a glimpse of a few hidden/inner aspects of the primordial torah below, as they pertain to the physical universe.

A detailed explanation of the mathematic constructs at work in the above diagram(s) and specifically the one showing some of the internal measurements, are beyond the scope of this post. However, a small glimpse of how these constructs descend into the physical universe can be obtained by studying the measure of the mishkan (tabernacle) that was thoroughly explained in the post on Parashah VaYahkel, as well as the explanation of the numbers hidden in the mathematic progression that will be discussed in the paragraphs ahead.

This brings us back to this week’s parashah, where we find the numbers hidden in the text, along with additional evidence that the Signature was intentionally hidden, and specifically how it was hidden. In this week’s parashah, the people were complaining that the King would not provide them with a more preferable menu (meat). The King of course wanted to put things in proper perspective for those who were complaining. He thus caused the wind to bring quail in large numbers. The people gorged themselves on the meat, whereupon they became sick and started to die.

As previously mentioned, the Torah describes what happened this way: “Now God is going to give you meat and you shall have to eat it. You will eat it, not for 1 day, not for 2 days, not for 5 days, not for 10 days, not for 20 days, but for a full month [30 days] until it is coming out of your nose and making you nauseous.” The Torah rarely, if ever, mentions anything inconsequential like a series of inapplicable numbers. More curious, these numbers correspond to 6 periods of time, in days, and their simple mathematic product is 60,000, another measure of 6. The text continues by quoting Moshe who says, “Here I am on foot with 600,000 men,” which is yet another measure of 6. As we said in the very beginning of this post, one cannot help but notice that these numbers constitute 3 measures of 6, reminiscent of the 3 measures of flour in Avraham’s tent (VaYera) each being 6 ounces, or the 6 days that Moshe spent in the cloud; with 6 days going back and forth; beginning or ending on the 6th of Sivan.

In this case however, the measures are a progressive expansion of the number 6, expressed mathematically as 6 (ones); 6 (tens of thousands); and 6 (hundred thousand). Even more curious, is that the mathematic progression happens to omit 3 other measures of 6. Listed below are the 3 measures that are nigleh (revealed) in the text, as well as their nistar (hidden) counterparts or 3 measures that are not found in the text (shown in blue/grey) but nevertheless would be part of the mathematic progression, were it complete.

6 (ones)                                             6
6 (tens)                                            60
6 (hundreds)                                  600
6 (thousands)                             6,000
6 (tens of thousands)               60,000
6 (hundreds of thousands)     600,000

In each case the numbers are an ever-expanding reflection of the measure for each dimension of the cosmic blueprint. The 6 (ones) that are revealed allude to the 6 days of creation, or 6,000 years that are hidden or missing from the progression. They also allude to the characteristics of the sapphire cube, a cube of 6 hand-breadths; its division into the luchot, the blueprint for the kingdom; and to the letters of God's Name. What do the other hidden iterations represent?

Cube the first hidden measure in the progression (which is 60), then multiply it by the first measure of 6 that is 'revealed" (6) and you get 1,296,000. This is a mixture of nistar and nigleh (hidden and revealed). It is the measurement of the earth's surface in terms of arc-seconds, wherein the King's Signature can still be found, but it is also the measure of the former orbital circumference of the moon in nautical miles, when the Earth orbited the Sun every 360 days (before the King obliterated the connection between His Signature and "the outer wall with its cities and towns").

Divide the 1,296,000 (a mixture of the nistar and nigleh) by the first ‘hidden’ measure of 6 in the above progression (60) and you get 21,600. This number is revealed in the current number of arc-minutes in the measurement of the earth's surface, but it is hidden in the current measure of the earth’s equatorial circumference, as it differs slightly from its former measurement, when it orbited the sun every 360 days (before the King "stamped His feet" (in the parable) and destroyed any connection between the letters of His Name and the design of the kingdom).

Divide the 1,296,000 nautical miles by the second hidden number in the progression (which is 600) and the result is 2,160, which is the amount of time in years that the King allotted for each of the 12 constellations as 'their respective portion' in the precession of the equinoxes.

The third hidden measure of 6 in the above progression (which is 6,000) is the number of feet there were in a nautical mile when the Earth enjoyed a 360 day year (before the more perfect design of the kingdom was wrecked) and also  the number of years that the King allotted for creation.

Divide the 1,296,000 nautical miles of the circumference by the third hidden measure of 6, (6,000) and you get 216, which is the number of letters in the King’s Name and the number of cubic hand-breadths in the blueprint for His kingdom (the shnei luchot).

That is how deeply the signature geometry was (and really still is) embedded in the design of the kingdom, much of which was destroyed by the flood, the separation of the continents and the events that occurred during the time of Hezekiah. The Signature is still there, although a bit distorted. Since it's not so easy to see, it can be ignored by rebels looking for an excuse to justify their acts of barbarism toward their fellow man, and especially their crimes against the family that was chosen to continue building the kingdom according to the King’s standards. 

The fact that all of this provides evidence of intelligent and careful design, or that its design was and is connected to the letters of the Name, and the tablets brought down by Moshe, would no doubt be particularly offensive to those who have chosen to reject the King and persecute the builders (the academic community is increasingly antisemitic as evidenced by trends on university campus's everywhere). 

The only remaining thing to emphasize is that the "3 measures of 6" that are revealed in the text, and the 3 measures of 6 that are not revealed (but hidden within the mathematic progression) are together a reflection of the actual events pertaining to the luchot. The first set (6 x 6 x 6) were divided and brought down by Moshe but were withheld (and remain hidden) from mankind. The second set (6 x 6 x 6) that were divided and brought down by Moshe were received intact and given (revealed) to Israel. Simple geometry!

6 x 6 x 6 = 216 Cubic Hand-breadths times 10ˣ
(where "x" is the power of, or multiple of 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 etc)

6 (ones)                                             6
6 (tens)                                            60
6 (hundreds)                                  600
6 (thousands)                             6,000
6 (tens of thousands)               60,000
6 (hundreds of thousands)     600,000

(the 'multiples' of 6 squared, or 6 cubed are significant in the measure of the cosmos)

In closing we would only say that to know God, to the extent that it is possible, one must know His Name and to know His Name, one must be familiar with His plan (blueprint) for mankind, and more specifically its letter-redacted form (Torah) containing the (specific) instructions as to what He expects of man. That knowledge (revealed in the "letters" of Torah) is the domain of those who were privileged to receive it, the Jewish people.

Final Note on the "Royal Seal" of the King
(Star Tetrahedron within the Cube [of Creation](Combined Cubic Form of the Luchot)

The royal seal (magen david) is not traditionally a part of Jewish history, per se. The adoption/acceptance/recognition of this geometry (in Jewish sources) is a relatively recent phenomena. Why then, was it eventually adopted and attributed to David HaMelech? Few sources offer a good explanation for why this geometry was adopted at all; let alone why it was adopted only recently; or why it was attributed to David, and even less as to why it should be accepted; why it should be attributed to king David; or why it really is significant. Some sources attempt to offer an explanation, but most fall short of the mark. We refer to the magen david (shield of david) as 'the royal seal' of the Heavenly King (God) for one very specific reason: the geometry associated with the letters of that Name (as well as its many abbreviated forms) have a direct connection to the geometry of the three-dimensional magen david within the combined cubic form of the luchot. That is the only reason why it is significant. As for it being attributed to David: David's 'shield' (magen) was God Himself. God has a Name and David HaMelech knew this Name (perhaps better than any man before him) and so God protected David by virtue of their close relationship. In our parable of the sapphire kingdom, you may recall that before the mabul/flood, the knowledge of God was commonplace. In fact, from what we can gather, knowledge of God's Name; His 'cosmic blueprint' (primordial torah); and its mathematic connection to the physical universe that God' created, was also well known (we still have many vestiges of that knowledge today ~ some of it is only now being confirmed with the aid of modern telescopes and computers). However, prior to the flood, this knowledge was commonplace. Still, and despite this knowledge, man ignored his Creator and rebelled, and so in the aftermath of the flood, the ensuing generations 'forgot' these things (after the math pertaining to the letters of God's Name was lost). Since this 'math' was not passed on to succeeding generations, the reason/origin for many modern mathematic systems and various units of measurement was lost to antiquity. Shem (son of Noah) preserved some of this knowledge and passed it on to his descendants through the schools that he established, but 'the math' became less and less understood as human consciousness diminished (man's lifespan was not the only thing that diminished after the flood). Still, the knowledge of God, and His plan (blueprint) was/is an archetype of human consciousness, and so subconscious fragments of this knowledge still exist, along with an inherent understanding of its significance. This knowledge is greatest amongst, and more quickly recognized by those who inherited 'the birthright' (e.g. the Jewish people). That is the real reason why the 'magen' was eventually recognized (as significant) and adopted in Jewish circles, and became a symbol of 'things Jewish,' even though the reason for its adoption is a source of much debate. The Jewish people have an inherent (subconscious if not conscious) understanding of its connection to God's Name and to his (primordial) torah. Those who are closest to God and Torah are simply more likely to recognize this connection, which has, and will continue (to the extent possible) to precede messianic times (evidenced by the relatively recent acceptance of the two-dimensional shadow of the tetrahedral geometry as being related to 'things Jewish").
