6-vau-Light Years:
How do you find the distance to a star? When the star is relatively close at hand you can triangulate the distance, making use of optical parallax by viewing the star from opposite sides of the sun, and using that diameter of our orbit as your base line against the background change (like switching eyes with your finger 6 inches away). If the star were too far away you would have to resort to an examination of cepheid variability or other type of exotic differentiation. Fortunately (or ominously as the case may be), our star is very close. Our position relative to the Son as we orbit is also very clear. Now, there are two very curious numbers in the New Testament; and there are only two such numbers in existence. These are obvious, large specific numbers with important meaning, for they are deliberately and carefully calculated and recorded for us. However, until now at the endtime, the meaning of these two silent witnesses has not been understood. I prayed...Father...Oh Father...show me the meaning of the two curious numbers...the 153 fishes and the 276 saved...Lord I beseech you...have mercy on my wayward condition and ignorance...O righteous Father you have shown me so much...I love you...I remind you of your promise..."Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."(Jeremiah 33:3)...O Father I do call on you...and Lord, remember what you said in Isaiah..."Ask me of things to come concerning my sons" (Isaiah 45:11)...O Righteous Father, only show me this and I will know that you have surely sent me into the super-highways and byways to bid them come...come to your supper...I will surely go... my flesh will not hold me...thank you Father...make me a fool to all who say 'no man knoweth'...'no man knoweth'...oh Creator...use me.. Jesus use me...me...are things so bad...Lord, are there none righteous in this age of Laodicia? "Verily, thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel the Savior." (Isaiah 45:15). As you hide yourself behind your creation, so you hide your great righteousness behind your servants. But, it must be so...for how could I worship a God I could see...the stump of a tree...or merely a God of sticks and stones and stars ...praise to the Almighty...the Invisible...the only true God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...Let there be Light. Oh Father, how I long to be with you as you are... make me to abide in your light...thank you for the revelation of the 153 and the 276!
In 553-2 b.c. Gabriel informed Daniel of the seventy weeks just as the seventy years ended. "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the Holy City, to finish the transgression, and make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniqity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."(Daniel 9:24)(also see 9:25-27). Behold, the 552 ( 7x70+62) brings us forward in time to the Messiah's birth; and He lives the final week until 70 a.d. when Jerusalem is finished. But, He is cut down in the middle portion of the week (30-33 a.d.). The 70 years ended the same day that the 70 weeks began, and the 70 weeks ended on August 29,70 a.d. That same year, the three and one-half times of Daniel began (Daniel 12:7) and will end in the year 2002 at midnight of the Passover anniversary. Notice that the three and one-half times begins according to the angel on the other side of the river (above the waters) thus signifing the continuation of the timeline as stated above (not as an overlap with the 70 weeks). Now we can begin to triangulate that prophetic Star of God as (360 is one year)(1260 is 3.5 yr.)(3.5 yr is 3.5 times)(a time is 552 yr.)(3.5 times is 1932 yr.) the distance of one line being 70 a.d. plus 1932 years yields 2002. Now, this line is confirmed by the one witness (276) because it is the exact value of the half-a-time.The other line is confirmed by the other witness (153) as we proceed.
After the resurection, Jesus asked Peter to bring in the miraculous catch of fishes so they could be counted and recorded by John. God had arranged for exactly 153. The other curious number (276) was also carefully tabulated and recorded as "And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls"(Acts 27:37). "...so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land." (27:44). And the angel said all shall be saved (27:22)...and Paul said "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved."(27:31). And the number was secured...some came on boards...some on broken pieces of the ship...276 saved souls. Thus we have two witnesses...two curious numbers...both representing salvation groups miraculously saved. One group is marshalled by Paul...one by Peter. One group is jewish...one is gentile. One group is first...one is last. One is larger. These two numbers are also unique because they are both sum-numbers.* Now we can see the confirmation of the first and smaller Jew line by beginning naturally at 13 a.d. when Jesus was twelve years old and He began His ministry to the Jews at the Passover. " I must be about my Father's business..."(Luke 2:49)...which was to the Jews first...and He spent 3 days after the Passover Week hearing and asking the doctors in the temple and they were astonished at His wisdom. Thirteen times 153 is 1989. This yields (13 a.d. +1989) the year 2002. If you should begin at Jesus' birth (13x154=2002) ** this would incorporate the function of the number 22 which stands for revelation (22x7=154) and is suggestive of the book of lamentations where Jeremiah divides his book into 154 verses (22+22+66+22+22). Each verse beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet which is composed of 22 letters ( the mid section being tripled ). For more on the number 22...see section to follow.
* Sum-numbers are those which are unique in that they constitute the total of a series of numbers beginning with one (1+2+3+4=10 for example). The sum of the numbers one through 17 is 153 (and 9x17=153) and the sum through 23 is 276 and (12x23=276). This gives them the meaning of the prime numbers of 17 and 23 which are 'faith' and 'death'. The number 666 is also a sum-number.
** Interestingly, a confirmation of the two witnesses being used in conjuction to reach the same end of 2002 can be achieved mathematically (153 + 276 x 7 = 3003!).
