CHAPTER THREE

 

GEMATRIA

​

​

        The concept of gematria is primarily based on the ancient Greek and Hebrew languages where (like Roman numerals) each respective letter also represents a number value. In other words, gematria is a system of coding where numerical quantities are assigned to the letters of an alphabet. In turn, this creates a dual character system: one comprising phonetics, the other number values. 

 

        The system of gematria originated in the area north of ancient Babylon, its first attested use is attributed to King Sargon II in the 8th century B.C. As the story goes, Sargon built a wall to fortify his palace at Dur-Sharrukin (“Fortress of Sargon”). However, due to the King’s death, Dur-Sharrukin—once the capital of the Assyrian Empire—was never completed. It subsequently fell into disrepair and became a forgotten city until its ruins were discovered in modern-day Khorsabad (approximately 300 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq).

 

        The square fortification that enclosed King Sargon’s palace was partially unearthed in 1843 by French archaeologist Paul-Émile Botta. Botta’s excavations also uncovered numerous clay cylinders within the Dur-Sharrukin palace, many of which bore inscriptions detailing Sargon’s reign. Experts have confirmed the information presented in these artefacts was set out in a form of timeline and included specifics concerning, somewhat oddly, the construction of the “Wall of Khorsabad”. 

 

        The tablets exclusive to recording the history of Sargon’s wall made comment that its erection was not only requested by the King, but that he ensured the fortification was built to measure precisely 16,283 cubits in length. The reason for this exact specification—according to the excavated tablets—was based on the calculated gematria value of Sargon’s name. This is substantiated by historian Stephen Bertman: “Sargon’s capital city was over a mile square and its design became his preoccupation. The city’s dimensions, for example, were based on the numerological value of Sargon’s name” (Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia, 2003).

 

        Bertman’s comments are further validated by the website www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org (operated by the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise): “The first use of gematria occurs in an inscription of Sargon II (727-707 B.C.E) which states that the King built the wall of Khorsabad 16,283 cubits long to correspond with the numerical value of his name” (Ret. 2018).

 

        From these references we can ascertain: a) Sargon’s wall was definitely built to correspond with the gematria value of his name, and b) the measurement of the wall was 16,283 cubits. Keep this detail in mind, its relevance will become crystal clear in the paragraphs ahead. 

 

        To some, this whole number/word correlation idea might seem trivial, however the practice of gematria has been maintained for thousands of years. The most widely acknowledged and propagated use of this system occurs within the framework of Jewish mystic practices. This continued custom is most likely a legacy of the Kingdom of Judah being conquered by the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar II.

 

        In 607 B.C., upon defeating the Kingdom of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar II took a portion of the population captive. These prisoners comprised the most prominent citizens (i.e. professionals, priests, craftsmen, and the wealthy) who were exiled to Babylon where they would remain for the next 70 years. It was during this period of confinement that the Jewish practice of Kabbalah is said to have emerged along with the Babylonian Talmud. The former is an esoteric “school of thought”, the latter is a transcription of the Oral Torah—a verbal adjunct to the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mt. Sinai—which provides the basis for all present-day Jewish Law. 

 

       When the Jews of Babylon were eventually emancipated by the Persian King Cyrus, a small portion returned to their original locale in Palestine. In so doing, they took with them their new central text of Rabbinic Judaism—the Talmud—along with the mystic tradition of Kabbalah, both of which incorporate the use of gematria. Those Jews who remained in Babylon naturally continued the practices they had employed during their captivity. Consequently, Talmudic and Kabbalistic ideas have been integrated into Judaism ever since. (The history of which extends far beyond this treatise.) 

One of the central tenets of Judaism is the belief that the Torah (also known as the Pentateuch (the first five books of Moses)) is written in a code language inspired by god. It is thought these books conceal not only the code of the universe, but also the entire history of mankind. Subsequently, Jews who adhere to these doctrines spend years poring over their content. This dedication is undertaken and founded upon a hope of unearthing insights of a divine nature. Obviously, investigation of these manuscripts is taken extremely seriously, and as a consequence Jews guard the Torah (and Talmud) very closely: “A heathen [non-Jew] who pries into the Torah and other Jewish scriptures is condemned to death, for it is written, it is OUR inheritance, not theirs.” (Talmud Sanhedrin 59a, pg. 400, Soncino Ed. 1935).

 

        Over the years there has been various claims concerning the Torah’s deciphering, and while there is evidence to validate some of these suppositions it is only the representatives within the secret cohort that comprehend the true means to extract the concealed information. Moreover, it is only a certain faction of people that understand the actual meaning of the code and its implications for “the world to come”. The reason this select group are able to extract the true meaning of the Torah is because they not only possess the various cracking techniques*, but also the proper means of application.    

​

*Besides gematria, there are two other coding systems used by Jewish mystics: “notarikon” and “temurah”. The notarikon system takes the first, middle, and last letters of words to form new words/phrases. Temurah is used by Kabbalists to rearrange words and sentences in the Bible. They believe that by this method they can derive the esoteric substratum and deeper spiritual meaning of the text. However, I have yet to discern the applicability of these systems to English.

​

        In order to understand how the Torah code operates, one must first accept its cryptology is equivalent to the concept of algorithmic functions in computer science. Basically, algorithms are a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do; they form the base foundation of a program that enables a machine to execute desired tasks. This is precisely how the Torah is coded—it is a set of instructions that (when deciphered and implemented) reveals a code that can be used to write a program. 

 

        The program in question is designed with a singular and specific objective, the end game of which will be discussed in due course. For now, the reader must simply be aware that one of the chief means to decode the writings of the Torah (and therefore extract the relevant information concerning the hypothesised computer program) is the system of gematria. While these ideas may seem far-fetched, there will come a point in the current manuscript where (hopefully) the pieces of the puzzle fall into place and you will comprehend exactly what has happened to the world. 

 

        In terms of the Torah, I can personally attest to the fact that a coding system exists. This opinion is not only founded on my personal research, but more pointedly after I discovered Judaists claim these books are structured to mathematical perfection. In other words, Jews proclaim the content of the Torah to be flawless and this ideal is paramount to the essence of the Judaist, Talmudist, and Kabbalistic belief systems. Why is the perfection of these written works so important? Because the Torah is loaded with concealed mathematical equations! 

 

        The Torah is a series of books relating to astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and esoteric stories about matters of science. Its primary objective is to aid those in the inner sanctum to comprehend the relationship between science and the code of Creation.* Subsequently, it is vital the text of the Torah is written to perfection—if this were not the case, the concealed information contained within its pages would not be conducive to extraction through decoding strategies the likes of gematria. 

​

*The reason why this information is required will be revealed in the final chapter. 

​

        In stating the above, those aware of gematria’s worth (external to the conspiring inner circle) discount its applicability to the English language. This oversight is the result of an erroneous perception that the aforementioned alphanumeric system is only pertinent to the Hebrew dialect. In other words, it is erroneously perceived that because Hebrew is the original language of the Torah, then it should naturally follow that Hebrew is solely applicable to cracking the concealed codes. This is a gross error based on faulty assumptions. What needs to be understood in terms of language, is that it is a form of Creation.

 

        Language is made manifest through thoughts which are then used to produce vibration/sound through the vocal chords. Hence, because words are Creation, and because Creation is built upon mathematics, words are computable. Consequently, all language can be formulated into a mathematical code. This is because Creation is established on number. Thus, human language appears to be an integral verbal and written component that is compatible with the universal programming syntax. However, to decode language in a manner that provides meaning is entirely reliant upon an exact programming configuration where the relevant sounds match the relevant mathematics to precision. 

 

        On this note, the following link directs the reader to information on Digital Infinity, a concept in theoretical linguistics that hypothesizes all human language is an infinite digital system. This invariably implies all spoken language is based on numbers. If we accept this is true, then language in written form should be even more susceptible to mathematical calculation. The reasoning behind this logic is that language in written form (as opposed to sound), is easier to communicate into a working model of coding structure. This is precisely the purpose and function of gematria—it is a coding system based on the numerical value of written words to categorize them by association of meaning. The reason it works is because it isn’t like a computer program, it is a computer program. 

 

        To initiate an analysis of gematria (from the language/mathematics point of view), Table 1 depicts each respective letter of the Hebrew alphabet in conjunction with its corresponding numerical value.

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

Table 1: Hebrew Gematria values.

​

        A word, phrase, or sentence written in Hebrew contains both a language and numerical lexicon. Words, phrases, and sentences that return equivalent values are said to be strongly correlated. However, I do not wish to labour on the Hebrew system because it is English that relates most acutely to the hypothesis of the current manuscript. 

 

        As you are likely aware, the English alphabet comprises 26 letters. Therefore, each letter from A to Z is assigned a number from 1 to 26 (Table 2). This means a word, phrase, or sentence written in English using this gematria system will assume a numerical value. 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

​

Table 2: Simple Gematria values.

 

        For obvious reasons, the system presented in Table 2 is known as Simple Gematria, and while it is still majorly applicable to our cause, it is only when this classification is used in conjunction with a base-six system* that numerically veiled concepts become transparent. This latter system is known as English Gematria (Table 3). 

 

*The reason for multiplying by six is explained a little further ahead. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

​

Table 3: English (Base-6) Gematria values.

​

        To recap: As demonstrated in the respective tables (above), each letter is assigned a different numerical value. When a word is spelt, the values of each letter in that word are totalled to give an overall gematria outcome. Words or phrases that result in identical values are said to have a relationship. That is, if words, phrases, or sentences produce the same gematria value they are said to be correlated. However, the value of this system is not limited to discerning meanings between words, often the numbers produced are also profoundly connected to the topic under analysis; this will become abundantly clear in the chapters ahead. 

 

        To solidify the reader’s understanding of how this alphanumeric system functions, let us use English Gematria to analyse the title, “Wall of Khorsabad”—the very concept said to be the origin of gematria.  

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Table 4: “Wall of Khorsabad” - English Gematria value of 888.

 

        As can be seen, the gematria value for the title “Wall of Khorsabad” equals 888. With this in mind, observe the phrases in Table 5 (below). Each of these respective outcomes has the exact same value as the example above (i.e. 888).

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table 5: Word correlations possessing the English Gematria value of 888.

​

        The outcomes above infer the systems of Jewish, Simple, and English Gematria are an “Alphanumeric Code” associated with the “Wall of Khorsabad”. This is an exact replication of the historical narrative discovered on the tablets at Dur-Sharrukin, and even the most sceptical would have to concede these correlations are impressive. (The example to follow is just as extraordinary.) 

 

        As discussed prior, the first person said to have implemented the use of gematria was the man who built the Wall of Khorsabad, “King Sargon the Second”. Given this individual is said to be instrumental in the origins of gematria, and given his name is said to equal the length of the wall at Khorsabad, we should expect these factors to correlate.

 

        Table 6 (below) presents a breakdown of the letter values and overall total applicable to the King’s name. Here it can be seen that the title of “King Sargon the Second” has an English Gematria value of 1248. 

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

​

Table 6: “King Sargon the Second” - English Gematria value of 1248.

​

        Having established the above, the reader is now directed to Table 7 (below)…

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

Table 7: “I  VI  II  VIII  III [16283] Cubits” has a gematria value equivalent to “King Sargon the Second” (1248).

​

        The outcome of “I  VI  II  VIII  III Cubits” (16283 Cubits)* is reference to the measurement of the Wall of Khorsabad, which—if you recall—was built to coincide with the gematria value of King Sargon the Second’s name. In other words, Table 7 vindicates the historical account that the length of the Wall of Khorsabad was built to reflect the gematria value of the name of the Assyrian King whom ordered its construction.**

 

*Roman numerals are the residue of a written language incorporated into English. They serve a purpose in both the spelling of words and the representation of numbers in a manner that can be calculated from letters for the purpose of gematria processing. For example, the number ‘8’ in gematria has no value as the system requires letters to be converted into numbers. Therefore, ‘8’ can be written as both “Eight” and “VIII”. Each of these outcomes has an English Gematria value of 294. However, not all numbers expressed in full written English match their numerical counterparts (e.g. “One” = 204, whilst the Roman numeral “I” = 54).  

**This leads to some perplexing questions, the most notable being: How is it possible for this historical account to alphanumerically evidence itself through a language (i.e. English) that did not even come into existence until approximately 1500 years after Sargon built the Wall of Khorsabad? The answer to this question will reveal itself in due course, however, as was stated prior, gematria isn’t “like” a computer program, it is a computer program.

       

        If you perceive these outcomes to be the result of chance, then consider the following: The phrase, “The Wall and Name Equals”, also has an English Gematria value of 1248 (Table 7). The “wall” of course is reference to that of Dur-Sharrukin (Khorsabad), whilst the “name” is applicable to King Sargon II, hence:

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

        Once again, these results replicate the historical narrative to perfection regarding Sargon and his wall. At its core, the entire chronicle surrounding the Wall of Khorsabad is a reference to the alphanumeric coding system of gematria. Subsequently, because gematria’s purpose (among other things) is to demonstrate conceptual correlations through words and numbers, we should expect this alphanumeric system to reveal the correctness of this historical dialogue. Put simply, application of gematria should uncover that King Sargon’s wall—as he himself stated—is in actual fact a code intended to reveal the system of gematria. With this in mind, and as you peruse the phrases below, consider they all have an identical value to those demonstrated above (i.e. 1248):

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

​

​

        The correlations outlined above are simply incredible! Of further note is the capacity for the phrases to “interact” with one another. For example:

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

 

        To provide further example (but more pointedly demonstrate that the results thus far are not simply fortuitous), the full Roman numeral conversion of the number 16,283 (cubits) is, “XVMCCLXXXIII”. This group of letters produces a gematria product of 1056—the exact same value as the phrase, “Equals a Wall and a Name”. In other words, the Roman numeral of 16,283—the length of Sargon’s wall—in producing a gematria value of 1056, is equivalent to an exact description of the historical account concerning the first known use of gematria, whereby King Sargon insisted that the length of the wall at Dur-Sharukkin be built in accordance with the gematria value of his name! 

 

​

 

        In addition to this, the phrase “Cubits of the Wall” also has a gematria value of 1056. Thus:  

 

​

​

 

        Further validation that these outcomes are no fluke can be found in the phrases below, all of which are equal in value to those immediately above (i.e. 1056):

 

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

 

*The “Beginning of Gematria” is historically considered to have occurred with King Sargon and his wall code. 

**Gematria is a system that incorporates an alphabet and numeracy. 

       

        As is evident from the outcomes provided, the Wall of Khorsabad is a cipher that reveals the coding method of gematria. Having established this, let us now focus attention on a couple of significant factors associated with this system. Firstly, and without delving into too many complexities, the examples produced in Tables 5 and 7 are not exhaustive lists; thousands of words, phrases and sentences will match the values of 888 and 1248. However, one must remain cognisant that the correlations of words and phrases produced by gematria is always content and context specific. In other words, the more targeted the topic, the more precise the outcome(s).  

 

        In stating the above, there is somewhat of a caveat with regard to numerical values, such that, a “rule” of the gematria system states that when a word or phrase falls either side of the target value, the outcomes are still correlated. To demonstrate how this operates, let us use the topic already at hand, the “Wall of Khorsabad”. 

 

        The basic veiled message of the story of King Sargon is that the length of his wall—in being equal to his name—reveals the whole concept of gematria. Hence, the phrase, “The Code of Gematria”, has an English Gematria total of 804 and is equivalent to the Roman numerals, “I  VI  II  VIII  III” (16283). This of course being the length of the Wall of Khorsabad. However, falling on the lesser side of 804 is the value 798 (i.e. 804 - 6 = 798), and this is equal to “King Sargon II”. Alternately, one numerical value higher than 804 is 810 (i.e. 804 + 6 = 810), and this is equal to the phrase, “Length of the Wall”. Thus, the value of 804 mediates between these outcomes and affords correlation of the applicable phrases (so long as they are within one gematria value of one-another (Table 8)).

​

        Although the rule concerning connected values is allowable, the author has—for the greater portion—refrained from implementing this practice in the current body of work. I have chosen (mostly) to ignore this principle for two reasons: 

1. The reader should be naturally skeptical of this manuscript given the importance of its content, as such, I perceive it best practice to only offer gematria outcomes that are precise. This is intended to eliminate discrepancy concerning accusations of “cherry picking” results; and, 

2. Inclusion of all interconnected gematria values would result in a massive volume of information. As it stands, the size of this manuscript is colossal even after having omitted vast amounts of data. Subsequently, the only use of the gematria interconnection principle occurs where I perceive the importance of the word associations too great to ignore. 

 

        As emphasised earlier, it is pivotal that application of gematria be understood in terms of context. I highlight this again for the purpose of making the reader aware that there is often “crossover” between the side of good*, and the side of evil. For example, “Jesus” has a gematria value of 444, and this is equal to “Lucifer”, “Occult”, and “DCLXVI” (666). The reason this occurs is because even though we understand these ideas to be diametrically opposed, they are still connected because they are polar opposites. 

​

*There is a reason why the word “good” is associated with God beyond the basic idea of benevolence. It is associated with His true name; a topic I will begin to elucidate upon in great detail beginning at the following chapter. 

 

        Moving on, recall from Chapter Two the author specified that Phi is a universal golden number because it is the base factor of the Creation program. Consider now that the word “Code” has an English Gematria value of 162. This number should be readily recognized by the reader as it represents Phi rounded to two decimal places (i.e. 1.62). This means the system of English Gematria equates the word “Code” to the number of Phi, the latter being the numeral upon which the Creation program is constructed. 

    

        To expand on the above—and also to demonstrate the correlation between “Code” and 162 is no accident—the reader’s attention is drawn to the repeating binary numerals of 1, 1, 0 (obtained from the last digit repeating cycle of the Fibonacci sequence (Appendix B )). In order to utilize gematria as a means of processing these numbers, we must first convert them to letters. Hence, the three digits of 1, 1, 0 transform into I, I, O.*

​

*There is no symbol for zero in Roman numerals, thus, the letter ‘O’ is used. 

 

1  1  0 = I  I  O

 

        If we then process these letters via the system of English Gematria, the resulting value is 198.

 

I   I   O = 198 (English Gematria Value)

 

I = 54, I = 54, O = 90 (54+54+90=198)

 

        Remaining cognizant of the earlier revelation that the word “Code” is equal to 162 (Phi), consider now that the gematria value of “I, I, O” (198) correlates with the word “Phi” (198).

 

I   I   O = 198 = PHI

 

P = 96, H = 48, I = 54 (96+48+54=198)

 

        If the repeating binary digits from Appendix B of 1, 1, and 0 are converted to the whole number 110, and then 110 is converted to Roman numerals, the end product is “CX”. 

 

1   1   0 = 110 = CX

 

        The gematria values of the letters ‘C’ and ‘X’ is 18 and 144 respectively, thus adding them together produces 162. 

 

CX = 162

 

C = 18, X = 144 (18+144=162)

 

        As was previously recognized, this value (162) is representative of Phi rounded to two decimal places (1.62) and is equal to the word “Code”. In other words, “Code” and “CX” both have a gematria value of 162 (the number for Phi). Hence, these words being equal to this value implies Phi is a code and that the previously obtained repeating binary cycle of 1, 1, 0 is also associated with these concepts. This we know to be true given 1, 1, 0 was obtained from the last digits of the Fibonacci numbers which themselves are associated with the golden number, Phi (1.62). 

 

CX = 162 = CODE

 

        If we now take both sets of letters applicable to the binary trio of 1, 1, and 0 (i.e. the Roman numerals of “I, I, O” and “CX”) and then combine their respective gematria outcomes of 198 and 162, the result is 360.

 

I   I   O      CX

 

198  +  162 = 360

 

        The gematria value of 360 (obtained from “I I O  CX”) is equal to the following phrases: 

 

​

​

​

​

        Hence, the conversion of the repeating binary sequence of 1, 1, 0 into letters (i.e. I, I, O and CX), results in phrases of equal gematria value (360) that make pointed and specific reference to a “Phi Code”. 

​

        You will recall earlier the author made a footnote that the reason for multiplying Simple English gematria by six would be explained: The three repeating binary digits of 1, 1, 0 equate to 110, and 110 is also a binary number. When converted to decimal, the binary equivalent of 110 is the number 6. Thus, 6 is a base number in what we might define as the “Matrix Lexicon”. Put another way, the English language—when converted to base 6 gematria—is an alphanumeric program compatible with the Phi based code of Creation. For example, when we apply gematria to the phrase, “Base IIO” (i.e. Base 6), the result is 360, and as we just saw, this is equal to: “The Code”, “Phi Code”, and “Code I, I, O”. 

 

        Returning to the gematria outcomes posted in the prior tables, combining the term “Code” with the numbers 1, 6, and 2 (i.e. 1.62) produces “Code I.  VI  II”. This being a reference to the Phi coded program based on the golden number of 1.618 (1.62 rounded). This phrase, “Code I.  VI  II”, returns a gematria value of 510, and therefore makes it correlative with the words “Creation”, “Matrix”, and “The Earth”! 

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        Expression of the decimal number 162 as a full Roman numeral is “CLXII”, and as has been repeatedly suggested, 162 is a representation of Phi—the base foundation numeral of the Creation program. Hence, the phrase “CLXII: A Code” returns a gematria value of 510 and therefore correlates with the outcomes posted in the gematria table immediately above. 

 

        Taking this a step further, “Phi 162: A Code” expressed as “Phi CLXII: A Code”, produces a gematria value of 708…

 

​

​

       These tables offer evidence of the association between the Creation and its base code of     . This symbol—used to represent the golden ratio in mathematics—is formed from a combination of the Greek letters “I” (Iota) and “O” (Omicron) and might be interpreted as the two values of binary coding: ‘1’ and ‘0’.* If this theory holds any weight, we should expect gematria to provide evidence... 

​

*In quantum computing there is a phenomenon known as "quantum superposition". Unlike the classical bit—which can only be in a state of "1" or "0"—a quantum bit can exist in a state of one and zero simultaneously (i.e. superposition). Consider this in the context of the overlapping Iota (I) and Omicron (O) that make up the Greek letter Phi. This symbol is intended to portray the quantum bit in superposition: "The Phi Symbol: Iota and Omicron" = 1818 = "Quantum Superposition".

​

        When the phrase “Iota and Omicron” is processed using gematria, the applicable value is equivalent to the outcomes in the table immediately above (i.e. 906) and therefore equate (among other results) to “Phi—The Creation”. Further validation that the “Iota and Omicron” of the Phi symbol represent the binary numbers of zero and one can be observed in the following correlations, all of which—once again—equal 906:

​

“The Binary Digit”

= 906 =

“Binary Digit—Phi”

= 906 =

“Letters I O—A Code"

= 906 =

“Phi—One and a Zero”

 

        These outcomes—and those prior—allude to an association between mathematics, computing, and Creation. However, the main point of this section has been to introduce the reader to the concept of gematria in preparation for the chapters to come, because this coding system will be used comprehensively from herein as a means to drive home conceptual correlations. That is not to say gematria is relied upon as the sole means to impart the necessary information, rather, it is utilised to uncover the veiled, and in terms of the journey to come there is a substantial amount still to be revealed. However, before I embark on an extensive analysis of the Creation, it is of reverence to acquaint you with its “programmer”.
