Gordon:
To further emphasise the importance of the 'ten - three' partnership
(which, as you rightly observe, plays a significant role in raising the
radix-dependent status of 37 as a number per se), and to reveal
additional key links between the Book of Number and the Book of God, I
offer the following:
There are just four numbers which, as denary objects, enjoy the rare
distinction that each is equal to the sum of the cubes of its digits.
They are 153, 370, 371 and 407, and we observe, (a) that each has 3
digits and (b) that two (370 and 407) are multiples of 37 - their sum,
777.
We further observe that all are linked to biblical themes, thus:
(1) 153 appears in Jn.21:11 as the number of 'great fishes' caught by
the disciples following the instructions of Jesus - appearing to them
for the third time since his resurrection (Jn.21:14);
(2) 407 is the Bible's sixth Hebrew word, read as a number;
(3) 777 is the sum of the three Hebrew nouns in Gn.1:1;
(4) 371 is the number of days spent by Noah and his family in the Ark.
Remarkably, when applied repeatedly to any multiple of 3 (expressed as a
denary object), the foregoing transform reduces ultimately to 153 - a
triangular number!
Would you not agree that the '37/91 matter' - augmented by these
remarkable 'coincidences' - speaks loudly of supernatural and purposeful
design? Do you believe meaningful biblical exegesis is possible if these
facts - together with their profound implications - are ignored?
Sincerely,
Vernon
