Bemidbar – Secret of the Zodiac Signs

In this week’s Parasha, the 12 tribes of Israel camped according to the pattern of angels they saw on Shavuot at Mt Sinai at the giving of Torah.

The 12 tribes of Israel correspond to the 12 Zodiac signs which were set in the heaven for signs לְאֹתֹת, the gematria of the following two verses are 1443:

Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven(Gen 1:14) יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם 1443
to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations (2Kings 23:5) לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְלַיָּרֵחַ וְלַמַּזָּלוֹת 1443

And this is the sign of Mashiach, as it is written in Isa 7:14:

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give

you a sign (Isa 7:14)

לָכֵן יִתֵּן אֲדֹנָי הוּא, לָכֶם–אוֹת:

With this background, we are ready to reveal the secret of the signs.

What is His Name

A famous riddle was asked:

What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest (Pro 30:4) מַה-שְּׁמוֹ וּמַה-שֶּׁם-בְּנוֹ, כִּי תֵדָע

His name שְּׁמוֹ “shemo” in gematria is 346.

We know His name is YHVH, but how is this name for signs in the constellations?

There are two new years in the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Hashanah and 1st day of Nisan.

The month of Nisan denotes redemption, this is the time when the lamb was slain for the redemption of his people paralleling the sign of Aries.

The month of Tishrei denotes judgment, this is the time when the world is judged paralleling the sign of Libra.

The first two letters of YHVH is Yud י and Hey ה, which in gematria is 15. When 15 is squared, the result is 225, which is the gematria of Mazal Moz’na’im מַזַּל מֹאזְנַיִם, i.e. the sign of the Libra.

The final two letters of YHVH is Vav ו and Hey ה, which in gematria is 11. When 11 is squared, the result is 121, which is the gematria of Mazal Taleh מַזַּל טָלֶה, i.e. the sign of Aries.

The sum of the two signs in gematria is 346, which is exactly the gematria of his name  שְּׁמוֹShemo, as follows:

Sign of Libra, Sign of Aries מַזַּל מֹאזְנַיִם מַזַּל טָלֶה 346
His name שְּׁמוֹ 346

This is the answer to the first question, what is his name.

What is His Son’s Name

The gematria of “name of his son” שֶּׁם-בְּנוֹ “shem beno” is 398, which is exactly the gematria of “This is Yeshua” זֶה יֵשׁוּעַ, at the simplest level.

At another level, the gematria of the two phrases is 744:

His name שְּׁמוֹ 346
His son’s name שֶּׁם-בְּנוֹ 398
    744

744 is exactly the gematria of Mashiach Yeshua, as well as “and the word became flesh”:

Mashiach Yeshua מָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ 744
And the Word became flesh וַיְהִי הַדָּבָר בָּשָׂר 744

The word is Torah, and 744 is the 611th composite number where 611 is the gematria of Torah תּוֹרָה.

At a deeper level, since “his name” involves two beginnings of the year, i.e. Rosh Hashanah and Nisan, in which two months two of the three holidays fall, it follows that the third holiday, i.e. Shavuot, becomes the key to unlock the secret of “name of his son”.

These three holidays are called three legs שָׁלֹשׁ רְגָלִים (Ex 23:14), and Shavuot is third leg between the two legs of Pesach and Rosh Hashanah. At the mystical level, Shavuot is the secret of Yesod, the third leg, that impregnates Malchut as symbolized by the Children of Israel.

Shavuot corresponds to the Zodiac sign of Gemini, at the mystical level, the twin is the union of Yesod and Malchut on Shavuot.

The sign that juxtaposes Gemini is Sagittarian, their gematria is 1451:

Sign of Gemini מַזַּל תְּאוֹמִים 574
Sign of Sagittarian מַזַּל קַשָּׁת 877
    1451

Now 1451 is the 231st prime number, where 231 is the secret of the 231 gates according to Sefer Yetzirah, by which one enters into the Kingdom. 231 is the gematria of “foundation of the world” יְסוֹד הָעוֹלָם, i.e. the foundation stone of the House.

Now the foundation stone was laid on the 24th of the 9th month according to Prophet Haggai (Haggai 2:18), which day was immediately followed by the first day of Chanukah, i.e. the 25th of Kislev, the same day when Mashiach Yeshua was conceived.

The Zodiac sign of Kislev is Sagittarian. The bow is the sign of the covenant with Noach, whereas the arrow symbolizes the seed that shoots from Yesod, the foundation, or the third leg, also known as the brit, i.e. the covenant.

It follows that the seed crystalizes in the form of Torah on Shavuot in the third month, to the sign of Gemini.

The mid-point number of 1451 is 726, which is exactly the gematria of “Name Yeshua” שֶּׁם יֵשׁוּע, the name of his son, as it were.

Now if the son was conceived on the 25th day of Kislev, and born on the 1st day of Tishrei, there are exactly 271 days of pregnancy, as follows, where 271 is the exact gematria of pregnancy הֵרָיוֹן, for this is the quintessential pregnancy of the foundation of the world and the light of the world.

  Month Number of Days      
1 Nisan 30   30  
2 Iyar 29   29  
3 Sivan 30   30  
4 Tammuz 29   29  
5 Av 30   30  
6 Elul 29   29  
7 Tishrei 30      
8 Cheshvan 29      
9 Kislev 30 6    
10 Tevet 29 29    
11 Shevat 30 30    
12 Adar 29 29    
      94 177 271

The gematria of Sagittarian and Aries is 998, which is the exact gematria of “name of his son”, if the sofit Mem is counted as both 40 and 600, as follows:

Name of his son (w/ sofit Mem) שֶּׁם-בְּנוֹ 998
Sign of Sagittarian, Sign of Aries מַזַּל קַשָּׁת מַזַּל טָלֶה 998
The cross הַשְׁתִי וְהָעֵרֶב 998
My covenant of peace בְּרִיתִי שָׁלוֹם 998
Heal the sickness of Israel my people רֹופֵא חֹולֵי עַמֹו יִשְׂרָאֵל 998

There are exactly 160 days from 24th of Kislev until the 6th day of Sivan, as follows, where 160 is the gematria of “the stone that was rejected” אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ (Psalm 118:22), alluding to the foundation stone laid on the 24th of Kislev was rejected on the 14th of Nisan, to the Sign of Aries.

  Month Days      
1 Nisan 30   30  
2 Iyar 29   29  
3 Sivan 30   6  
4 Tammuz 29      
5 Av 30      
6 Elul 29      
7 Tishrei 30      
8 Cheshvan 29      
9 Kislev 30 7    
10 Tevet 29 29    
11 Shevat 30 30    
12 Adar 29 29    
    354 95 65 160

6th day of Sivan is Shavuot when Torah was given, and Torah is the Word that comes out of the mouth of God and Mashiach is Torah in the flesh, the gematria of “Mashiach came out of the mouth of YHVH” מָּשִׁיחַ מוֹצָא פִי-יְהוָה is 611, exactly the gematria of Torah.

“Torah became Flesh” תּוֹרָה לָבֻשׁ הַבָּשָׂר in gematria is 1450, adding 1 as kollel renders the gematria as 1451, which is exactly the gematria of Sagittarian and Gemini, as noted above.

The Zodiac sign that connects Sagittarian and Gemini is the Aries corresponding to the month of redemption, their gematria is 1572:

Sign of Gemini מַזַּל תְּאוֹמִים 574
Sign of Sagittarian מַזַּל קַשָּׁת 877
Sign of Aries מַזַּל טָלֶה 121
    1572

The average number of the three Zodiac signs is 524, which is exactly the gematria of Yeshua son of God יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן אֱלֹהִים.
