Revelation:

    Since this is being written in English, I assume that most of those who read will be familiar with Christianity. One of the most significant numerical understandings comes right out of the Bible. The last book, that of revelation, contains an inordinate amount of numbers that have been a mystery for ages. Skipping the vast references to the number 7, go to chapter 4. Here we find a vision of God in his throne room in heaven. Take the numbers out of this chapter:

    There is the ONE who sits upon the throne. There are 24 Elders seated around and about the throne. There are 4 beasts. There are 7 Spirits of God. Add these all up as the content of that throne room and the Hierarchy of Heaven. The total of 1+4+7+24 is 36, which is a 9 when reduced.

    The Four Beasts have six wings each, which is twenty-four. Let’s take them out of the equation for now by adding them to the twenty-four Elders. 24+4=28, which reduces to ONE, and is also the product of 4x7. (These shall be dealt with later, along with all other groupings of four, as they are all symbolic).

    There is also the One on the throne and the Seven Spirits. This is a total of 8. 28+8=36, so the total is the same no matter how it is broken up. Note, however, that the sum of adding the numbers from 1 to 7 together also adds up to 28. 1+2+3+4+5+6+7=28, and the next number in the sequence is the 8, which added to the 28 results in 36. These numbers are very significant to the decimal system, because they are all hidden here.

    The next step is simply to continue with the same process. Add together all the numbers between 1 and 36. Let’s start with these two, 1+36=37. Simple enough. Continue through the numberline this way. 2+35, 3+34, 4+33, 5+32, 6+31, 7+30, 8+29, 9+28, and so on. Each of these pairs adds up to 37 as the first pair does. 36 can be divided into 18 such pairs, each totaling 37. The sum of adding together all the numbers from 1 to 36 is the same as the multiplication problem of 18x37. The result is the number 666. Note also that 18 is the sum of 6+6+6. 37 is also the key to another formula: [ ( n+n+n ) x 37 ] = nnn. Any number between 1 and 9 that is put into this formula will result in a product that is the number in triplicate. 1+1+1 = 3. 3 x 37 = 111. etc.

    This mysterious number 666 is given later in the book with very ominous overtones, but here, it is resolved right out of the throne room in Heaven. There is another significance to this particular number that could only have been found with scientific means. The reference I speak of is not to 666, but to the root which is 36. Just so happens that the number is identical to the number of Quantum Particles in subatomic physics. This is a relatively new science, so the question obviously arises as to whether or not there is a connection. I believe there is. There is very little that one will encounter in life that is not significant when dealing with numbers. When there are sets of fixed quantity with the same number of values there is usually a symbolic connection. It is my belief that the Creator never intended for us to follow blindly. There is evidence of the Divine presence in everything around us, if we look for it. Most of the things put forth in this work are the result of this line of reasoning.
