What we call reality is in fact, nothing more than a culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced hallucination. Opponents of Gematria's rational basis claim that; 1.With enough formulas in play you can make anything equal anything. This displays a lack of the concepts of probability. Not to mention most make such a claim before testing Gematria in their own studies. 2.The study dabbles with interpreting divine aspects of numbers and in doing so commits blasphemy. Yet the holy books are numbered, versed, and characterized according to this practice. It would be hard to argue there aren't any cases of numbers used symbolically throughout the bible. Antagonist use these occurrences to 'disprove' the literalist interpretations. Published biblical scholars display the use of Gematria to the public and argue among themselves which Roman emperor was 'The Beast of Revelation'. Eliezar Ben Yose HaGelili a 2nd century rabbi, gave 32 rules to interpret the Tanakh, rule 29 is the use of Gematria. Baraita of the Thirty-Two Rules. Marcus the Valentinian a 2nd century church father, is reported to have used gematria when giving biblical interpretations. 3.Gematria is some form of magic or could be used in conjunction with occult rituals or divination. In their haste to sweep it under the rug the critic actually confirms that Gematria has power in its understanding. Unaware of the cognitive lapse they've suffered, the literalist deems to send the truth seeker to hell for their seeking. If all knowledge or fruit in the garden, so to speak, is rooted in The One then all things in degree of good, evil, magical, or, mundane are rooted in God as well. Ask yourself if modern man has the capacity to learn the trade of 'coding', combining letters and numbers to create virtual realities, websites, games, and apps; what then is the Master of the Universe capable of with letters and numbers? Once this is set forth in the study of Gematria, one can confront the intentions of those who choose to use the knowledge against those unaware. If the religious context from which this knowledge descends to us, truly points toward this aspect belonging to 'God', the Master Mathematician, then this knowledge indeed has power. 6+ Cipher Keys Hebrew-English Letter Table Greek-English Letter Table
