Thanks! I'm worried about some of my students.

God invented meaning in numbers, that is true. The numbers 12 and 40, etc., have meaning. However one thing my son and I do not do is assign numbers to letters to get prophecy. One reason for that is that in Bible times, there was no standard spelling, so sometimes in the original languages there is more than one way to spell a word.

Ok. Thanks. Perhaps i misunderstood about standard numerical association for hebrew letters.

Found this thread through google. I’m messianic too!

ah ... that was the book I was trying to recall ... and opted to just ignore rather than show my ignorance!

... and ... showed it anyway! LOL

Wow ... didn't consider Daniel a prophet? That's relevant, too, methinks! Thank you.

Two Wings,

Your theory is still good, the religious sects of Jesus’ time were certainly familiar with Daniel, and other books like Enoch which the Apostles quote in the Bible.

Jewish biblical Canon wasn’t really concrete until around the same time Church Biblical canon happened. Many assume Daniel wasn’t included in Jewish Bible because it points to Jesus — the Talmud doesn’t even call Daniel a Prophet.

Nowadays, we don’t all memorize the Bible by 13. I certainly didn’t! Maybe in the ultra Orthodox communities, but not in liberal Reformed communities like mine!
