That this indeed was intended finds confirmation in Luke and MatthewGeert van den Bos wrote: Mon Dec 29, 2025 11:11 am saw something weird
Shema 1118 = 2 x 559
559 = 216 + 343
216 = 6x6x6
343 = 7x7x7
"hashem echad" was about the 6th and 7th day joined together in the initial letters of "yom hashishi vay'chullu hashamayim" making a new day one = 8th day
Mark 14:62
ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ δεξιῶν καθήμενον τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
δύναμις = "g'vurah" = 216
μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ -- rain = "geshem"= 343

Taanit 2a:11
§ The Gemara cites related statements concerning the idea that rainfall provides evidence of God’s might. Rabbi Yoḥanan said: There are three keys maintained in the hand of the Holy One, Blessed be He, which were not transmitted to an intermediary, i.e., God tends to these matters Himself. And they are: The key of rain, the key of birthing, and the key of the resurrection of the dead.
Matthew 26:64 uses the same phrase
λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σὺ εἶπας· πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ' ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
Luke 22:69 has
ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν δὲ ἔσται ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενος ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ θεοῦ.

That δύναμις here stands for Hebrew גְּבוּרָה is likely because of the appearance of the angel Gabriel
https://biblehub.com/greek/1043.htm
in Luke 1:19
and Luke 1:26-27
Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρὲθ πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ ἐξ οἴκου Δαυίδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ.
since the name Gabriel גַּבְרִיאֵל is from the same root as גְּבוּרָה
Gabriel holding the key of birthing
The key of rain was found in Deuteronomy 28:12,

where LXX has ἀνοίξαι σοι κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀγαθόν
θησαυρός

Matthew 13;44
Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν θησαυρῷ κεκρυμμένῳ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
cf.Matthew 19:21,
Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
and you will have treasure in heaven
καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανοῖς
