WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13:18.
Note that God does not state the language to be used to solve this mystery.
I believe that is because that language was not in existence in John's day, but is to be our common world recognized language of the last days English.
In order to "count the number" each letter of the alphabet has a numerical value placed upon it this is gematria.
THE FIRST RECORDED USE OF GEMATRIA was found on the palace wall of a king that skeptics said did not exist.
Isaiah 20:1 speaks of a specific Assyrian king, but skeptical historians said he did not exist. They said this because the discovery of an obelisk stone with the names of the Assyrian kings that ruled that empire made no mention of him.
The University of Chicago made a bold statement that they had found a glaring contradiction in the Bible. The "experts" said he did not exist, the Bible said he did! God would have laughed at these "great men", for archaeology finally discovered this king's palace.
The name of that king was Sargon.
MOSES "MESSIAH SIGN" . . . 74

God The Great Mathematician and His two "EVERLASTING WITNESSES"
It has been said that there is only one PURE science . . . . . . . . mathematics.
A book in my library is titled "Mathematics Queen & Servant of Science".
I hope to provide concrete, visual evidence that our Great God has encrypted His mathematics into the Torah as a sign TO THE JEW that Jesus is the Messiah.
The sign that God placed is the personal "signet" of Y'SHUA . . . JESUS.
This particular sign is placed in, what Jesus called, the first and great commandment to Jew and Gentile Deut 6:4. Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.
This is the "Shema" and is one of two verses that God commanded the Jew to be kept before their very eyes, and in literal obedience, the Orthodox Jew places the phylactery (small box) containing those two verses upon his forehead.
shemA Israel Jehovah elohenu Jehovah echaD
Note the two extra large letters A D
They are the last letter of the first word and the last letter of the last word. They are "end signs". I believe they are God's sign to the Jew that Jesus is thE Messiah.
Except for the Masoretes and those that study "Magna Parva and Finalis", most Christians and Jews are unaware of the fact that when Moses was writing Torah, God inspired him to place these two majuscule signs in Deut 6:4.
There are 11 confirmed occurrences of these mysterious large letters in Torah.
The first one occurs in the first letter in Genesis. Another one in Leviticus marks the middle letter in Torah, and another marks the middle verse in Torah.
But, ONLY ONCE do two of these strange extra large letters occur TOGETHER.
Such is the case in this first and great commandment.
To this day, God's PURPOSE for these two large letters remains a mystery, but Rabbi Bochin states that together ('ain/daleth) form the meaning "everlasting witness".
See Strong's Concordance # 5707 & 5703 regarding DE & AD
Prior to 1948 the State of Israel was not in existence and Hebrew was considered a dead language. These two witnesses have lain there as dead for 3 ½ prophetic days (Ps 90) ie 3,500 years since the day God inspired Moses to place them there.
'Ain (A) has the Hebrew value 70, and daleth (D) has the value 4.
Together, these "two ancient witnesses" of Moses sum at . . . . . . . . 74
As further confirmation to Jew and Gentile of this mathematical sign, God has also designed ain & daleth to sum at 74 using simple English gematria A=1 Z=26
AIN = 24
DALETH = 50
I stress the word "simple" because some Christians in their zeal have devised some pretty complex systems to "make" some suspect sum at 666.
Please note that it is God that designed the number 666 not Satan.
Simple English gematria is simply A=1 B=2 Z=26
Is it coincidence that the following words using simple English gematria each sum at 74 ?
SIMPLE = 74
ENGLISH = 74
GEMATRIA = 74
In that God gave us a special sign, an "everlasting witness" to place before our eyes (3,500 years so far) I would ask a question of the JEWISH READER.
Was Jesus the Jewish Messiah that was rejected?
JESUS = 74
JEWISH = 74
MESSIAH = 74
Jesus in Hebrew is Y'shua, and in Greek it is Joshua.
Y'SHUA = 74
JOSHUA = 74
I noted that God through Moses placed the personal "signet" of Jesus in the Shema.
SIGNET = 74
Did Jesus die on the cross did He preach the Gospel did He speak in parables?
CROSS = 74
GOSPEL = 74
PARABLES = 74
Revelation speaks about "the key" of David.
THE KEY = 74
73 of the 150 psalms in the Book of Psalms are attributed to David.
If David wrote a "new song" about Jesus it would be song number 74
David's "new song" added to the 150 psalms would result in there being 151.
JESUS CHRIST = 151
SONGS = 74
MELODY = 74
The word "song/songs" (form 7893 Strongs Concordance) occurs in the OT 74 times.
A controversial musical mystery in the Bible is the word "selah". It occurs 74 times.
"Ezekiel's Temple" by H. Sully. Sully claims that the temple area covers 74 acres.
Songs and harps are a sign of prophecy in the Old Testament.
The "new song" is a sign of prophecy in the OT and NT see David Ps 144.
Ps 144 "hands fingers" (palms) are Biblical units of measure for counting.
The victors over the image mark and number of the beast sing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb. Rev 15:3
Moses Songs in Torah are constructed in a very unusual visual form, but that is a story for another time.
Jesus is the first the Initial He is the last The Omega..
INITIAL = 74
THE OMEGA = 74
Jesus is our Ruler The King.
RULER = 74
THE KING = 74
Jesus is the light of the Menorah the oil.
MENORAH = 74
When He gave himself for our sins, He said it is finished.
FINISHED = 74
Daniel's "sign on the wall" was mene, mene which means number number.
MENE MENE = 74
A NUMBER = 74
Daniel and the children of Issachar had the gift of the magi. Dan 1:17,21. I Chron 12:32.
It is said that the magi were skilled in the use of gematria, and I believe this is why Daniel was able to decipher the "hand of God" and His "writing on the wall".
HAND OF GOD = 74
Revelation's "wall" in God's mystical city "measured" 144 cubits . . . . CUBITS = 74
Our God is the Great I am . . . . . . . GREAT I AM = 74
He is God and a man . . . . . . . . . . GOD AND A MAN = 74
GOD/SON = 74
Orthodox Jews will not write "God" they do it as . . . G-D
"G" is our 7th letter and "D" is our fourth . . . . . . . . . . 7-4
The 144 thousand of Rev 14 sing a very unusual song that only they
understand, however, the first mention of the 144 thousands occurs in Rev .. 7:4
This group with the new song IMMEDIATELY follow the verse that numbers the beast.
This group had their father's name written in their forehead. Rev 14. Note also that God did not state the language to be used for this numbering purpose.
The earthly father (parent) of Jesus was Joseph the carpenter.
(coincidently, my parents were Mary David and Joseph and he was a carpenter also)
The Hebrew meaning of the word Joseph means "he shall add" or "increase".
HE SHALL ADD= 74
INCREASE = 74
During a period of discouragement and rejection by Christians to my study of God's prophetic numbers (144 153 666) He gave me a personal sign of assurance.
I AM SAVED = 74
Jesus will appear in the heavens, His chariot in the clouds.
HEAVENS = 74
CHARIOT = 74
CLOUDS = 74
Today, we hear much talk about Temple III. This is to be spiritually understood.
TEMPLE III = 74
Are these signs designed by the God who knows the end from the beginning, or are they merely "coincidence"?
Remember the name of the king that the "experts" said did not exist, and was associated with the first recorded use of gematria? His name was Sargon.
SARGON = 74
There is much more, but I will close with something from the OT.
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders
of Israel . . . (74) . . . and they saw The God of Israel. Exodus 24:9-10.

does that look like an arched (arked?) doorway? (the pink part at the Mason Dixon Line) It also looks like a stone tablet (like the one the ten commandments were written on. two tablets=two witnesses? placed inside the "ark"?)
Is that shaped like a "mem"(water)? Water out of the rock? 40 days in the wilderness? (Mem=40)
