I've been working on several posts at the same time, not being able to focus and finish any of them...so for now, I just wanted to share some of my recent discoveries that pertain to an earlier post that I had made, regarding the garments in which G*d clothed Man. Before their sin, they were clothed in Light ( אור ) and after their sin G*d clothed them in skins (or skin) ( עור ).
Please refer to my earlier post for more details on Ore ( אור ) and Ore ( עור ):
In the Bible we often see that skin, or flesh, pertains to this physical reality; in particular to lust and sexual deviance. It's no wonder that we would see the devil's fingerprints all over this terminology through out scripture. The following verses refer to this in great detail.
"For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world." - 1 John 2:16
"For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." - Galatians 5:17
"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." - Galatians 5:19-21
For the sake of this post, I mainly wanted to reference the number 276, which is the numeric value of Skin / Ore ( עור ).
"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." - Gen 3:21
*After the Fall of Man, he was clothed in Ore (Skin)*
Skin = Ore ( עור )
Gematria Value = 276
276 is also the value of the following:
ערו = Awake
יסור = Agony or Will Be Removed
ורע = And Evil
וירדנו = And We Went Down
למראה = Looking
And We Went Down = וירדנו (anytime The Bible mentions someone "going down", it's a metaphor for being separated from G*d, which is exactly what we see here.)
"How you are fallen from heaven "Lucifer" son of the morning..." - Isaiah 14:12
איך נפלת משמים הילל בן־שחר
Total Gematria Value - 1656 or (276 x 6)
*I have put the word "Lucifer" in parenthesis, as the actual Hebrew word used here is Helel ( הילל ) and is defined as "a shining one". The name "Lucifer" is not in the original Hebrew scripture whatsoever. This popular name of the devil originated from Latin. Evidently the translators of the King James Version Bible had taken this word from the Latin Vulgate. I wholeheartedly believe Latin is The Devil's Language altogether, as most of our backwards languages spoken today are a derivative of Latin. It can be argued that when the Catholic Church officially replaced the Greek with Latin, the world was brought into darkness; thus ushering the dark ages...yet, I digress.
While researching all of this, I found that the Greek word for Devil ( διάβολος ) and Demon ( δαιμόνιον ) also have numeric relation with some relevant Hebrew terms:
Devil
διάβολος
387
The Infernal/Satanic One
השטני אחד
387
To Hate
לשנאו
387
Demon
δαιμόνιον
305
Foreskin
ערלה
305
We can plainly see that by rearranging the letters of the Hebrew word for Foreskin ( ערלה ), we get To The Detriment ( לרעה ) and Harm ( להרע ) - of course, since these words are made up of the same Hebrew letters, the Gematria Value is the same.
To the Detriment
לרעה
305
Harm
להרע
305
We know that foreskin represents impurity and that circumcision was the covenant given to Abraham in Genesis Chapter 17:
And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you."
Genesis 17:9-11
Of course, we know this as the physical manifestation of the spiritual circumcision of the heart. This spiritual circumcision is required in order to remove the the barriers that keep us from perceiving The Light. As controversial as this may seem to be, I personally believe this term should be taken both ways and that the physical should mirror the spiritual, to acheive spiritual perfection. I'm not trying to get into any major debates on this topic, as I know it seems to be touchy these days, but I do think that a man's foreskin is animalistic and the removal of it was obviously important to G*d, not to mention the cleanliness and health benefits. I believe a man's foreskin had something to do with his fall from grace and that the physical circumcision corrected that somehow and ultimately separates man from animals; but this is only half of it, as this physical act does not satisfy the spiritual meaning of the circumcision of the heart...which is obviously of most importance and even The Torah seems agree with that.
"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked." - Deuteronomy 10:16
"Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.
No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God." - Romans 2:25-29
To further demonstrate my point, if we examine the Greek word for "Uncircumcision" ( ἀκροβυστία ), used above in verse 25, we see this 276 imbedded in it as well; thus bringing us back on the 276 subject. (Kinda clever how I done that, right? lol)
Uncircumcision
ἀκροβυστία
1104 or (276 x 4)
In the very first post that I ever made on here (the one that started it all), I made the statement "this is not religion, this is reality". I often tell people this as I believe true Christianity is not a religion, it's a personal relationship with Yeshua. Whenever I witness to others, I don't stress religion but rather the spiritual reality that the world needs to see. When we observe all of the hypocrisy and false doctrines embraced in many churches these days, it's not a stretch to see how Satan has put himself into all of it. It's no wonder that Satan ( Σατανᾶ ) and Religion ( θρησκείας ) have the exact same numeric value.
Satan
Σατανᾶ
553
Religion
θρησκείας
553
*Notice how close that 553 above is to the following. In Jewish Metaphysics, Gematria works out with what is known as "Kolel" - this is the basic rule that a number you can add one to the total number, to represent the whole of the word and they still equate to one another. With that understanding, and from the example below of "All Flesh", we can see this 276 relates being extremely close to the values above.
"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth." - Genesis 6:12
All Flesh
כל־בשר
552 or (276 x 2)
Those Of The Flesh
τοὺς μὲν σαρκὸς
1656 or (276 x 6)
τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων
The Ruler of The Demons
4416 or (276 x 16)
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. - 1 John 5:19
The Evil One
τῷ πονηρῷ
2208 (276 x 8)
As you can see, this all just goes on and on, it's really all about how much time you invest to discover these hidden numeric truths. For me, it's about proving the divinity of G*d's Word and how perfect is all is. There is no way any man could ever produce any coherent writing with this kind of perfection. Please share this work as much as you can as all of the non-believers need to see this and wake up. I don't know how much time we have left before Yeshua returns to clean this place up, but it really doesn't matter as not one of us on this earth is promised another day. One day we will all stand and face judgement before Our Creator and that's a fact, so we need to be ready.
All of this talk about flesh and demons and whatnot seems kind of grim and I hate to end this post on such a gloomy note, therefor I will switch gears a bit and point out something uplifting. While we see a definite pattern of the number 276 attached to many dark things in scripture, it's clear that G*d has his own special number as well, the divine number 37. I highly encourage you dive into my ever-growing post what I like to refer to as "Our Creators Fingerprint", as I just keep making new discoveries revealing 37.
"You believe that God is One. You are doing well! Even the demons believe that, and shudder!" - James 2:20
Indeed they shudder, His Most Holy Name literally contains The Power to Expel Them!
Ἰησοῦς

Expel / Cast Out

חסד ושלום עליכם והרבה אהבה וברכות
May Grace and Peace Be Upon You and Much Love and Blessings!
That ol' dastardly flesh. It does what it does... unless we gain self-control from Yeshua.
