Conversations with sylvius: Rashi, 666 in Genesis 1:31, etc.

[sylvius]

John most certainly was not talking about the obscure word "ed" when he spoke of the pege (fountain) of water.

That he was talking about "ed" is clear, even chrystal clear, from his mentioning of the number of 153 large fish.

The number 153 to be found in the account of the third day, in Genesis 1:12.

Where Genesis 2:5 says "nothing had yet grown", it refers to the third day of the first story of creation.

Rashi:

When the creation of the world was completed on the sixth day, before man was created, no herb of the field had yet grown. And on the third [day], where it is written:“Let the earth bring forth,” they [the plants] had not yet emerged, but they stood at the entrance of the ground until the sixth day. And why? Because He had not caused it to rain, because there was no man to work the soil, and no one recognized the benefit of rain, but when man came and understood that they were essential to the world, he prayed for them, and they fell, and the trees and the herbs sprouted. — [from Chul. 60b]

The same is to be found in Ezekiel 47:10

And it will be [a place] beside which fishermen will stand, from Ein-gedi to Ein-eglaim; a place for spreading nets they will be; their fish will be of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many.

Ein-gedi , עֵין גֶּדִי, " well 17"
Ein-eglaim, עֵין עֶגְלַיִם , "well 153".

Even it is now also chrystal clear why resurrection took place on the third day ...


I do want to contend also that the saying "I am the Alpha and the Omega" refers to this too

"ayin" , eye, well, name of the 16th letter, coinciding Greek "omikron"

Ein-gedi = Omikron
Ein- eglaim = Omega.

[sylvius]

The templebrook also showing the 1-4 principle:

Ezekiel 47:2,
וְהִנֵּה-מַיִם מְפַכִּים מִן-הַכָּתֵף הַיְמָנִית
and behold, water was trickling from the right side
"m'fakim" -from "pachah"= to flow, bubble, gush, drip.
From this: "pach" (80-20) = flask, bottle, jar.

(Jacob said to have returned after having brought his wives and children over the river Jabbok because he had forgotten some little jars "pachim k'tanim", Genesis 32:25,
And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn
Rashi:
And Jacob was left: He had forgotten small bottles and returned for them. — [from Gen. Rabbah 77:2, Chullin 91a]. )


Ezekiel 47:3-5
When the man went out eastward with a cord in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles And he measured one thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees, and he measured one thousand and he led me though water that reached the loins.
And he measured one thousand [cubits], a stream that I could not cross, for the water was so high that it was water for swimming, a stream that could not be crossed.

[sylvius]

By the way, why do you think Jesus needed an ass?

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The master needs it and will send it back here shortly

(Greek:
ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, Τί ποιεῖτε τοῦτο; εἴπατε, Ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει, καὶ εὐθὺς αὐτὸν ἀποστέλλει πάλιν ὧδε.

That's strange, I see now.)

Was it for the show?
See me, Jesus, humble and mounted on a donkey entering Jerusalem?

Or was it to fulfill the prophecy?

In fact it supports my thesis, I think.

"shortly" is wrong translation.

It must be "immediately"

Which means that the colt is always there tied at the door, always there for you to untie.

It is the same colt that was tied at the vine, Genesis 49:11, Judah's colt.
Binding his foal to the vine and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine and his vesture in the blood of grapes.

Name Judah, "y'hudah", means, Genesis 29:35
הַפַּעַם אוֹדֶה אֶת יְ־הֹוָ־ה
"hapa'am odeh et hashem"

(Same "hapa'am" as in Genesis 2:23).

“This time I will praise Hashem” or: "This time I will thank Hashem" or: "This time I will confess Hashem" - confess my sin.

[sylvius]

Mark knows this meaning:

Mark 1:5

καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται πάντες, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.

It is "eschatological history".

[sylvius]

"Eschatological history" = Judah making himself guarantee for Benjamin.

Genesis 43:9,
I will guarantee him; from my hand you can demand him. If I do not bring him to you and stand him up before you, I will have sinned against you forever.

Benjamin being "son of the end of the days",

Rashi on Genesis 35:18,

Benjamin means“the son of days” (בֶּן יָמִים) , because he was born in his (Jacob’s) old age, and it is spelled with a “nun” like“at the end of the days (לְקֵץ הַיָּמִין)” (Dan. 12:13).

Which has to be understood in connection with Genesis 4:3,
Now it came to pass at the end of days, that Cain brought of the fruit of the soil an offering to the Lord
"At the end of days" written here: מִקֵּץ יָמִים

At the end of days Cain kills Abel.

Cain being the scientist, Abel the dreamer.

Cain's last descendant being Tubal-Cain:
Rashi:

Tubal-cain: He refined the craft of Cain. Tubal is related to the word תַּבְלִין (spices). He “spiced” and“refined” Cain’s craft to make weapons for murderers- [from Gen. Rabbah 23:3].

"keits yamim" ending with "mem-s'tumah" = closed "mem".
"keits hayamin" ending with "nun p'shutah" = outstretched "nun".

Which I think has to do with revelation, revelation being something else than scientific explanation.
