"Gematria is the name given to a method of figuring hidden meanings from the geometric shapes of letters and from the numerical values of both words and phrases". - The Secret Science of Numerology - The Hidden Meaning of Numbers and Letters p.56, by Shirley Blackwell Lawrence (New Page Books, 2001)
"The number seven appears frequently in Masonic ritual and in other phases throughout the degrees. The seven liberal arts and sciences are symbolized by seven steps on the winding staircase. The formulation of the seven liberal arts and sciences exists in many ancient religious systems where the number seven holds a special place of veneration. This is especially true in Jewish ritual and many Christian thinkers believed that to gain mastery of them was a means of achieving a greater understanding of God. They are generally said to be the subjects of rhetoric, grammar, geometry, music, mathematics, astronomy, and logic". - Freemasonry p. 40 (#7 & p.40), by Giles Morgan (Fall River, 2009)
In researching the history of Greek isopsephy (gematria) - the alphanumeric quality of a language - we are pointed to Pythagoras, the Pythagoreans, and Plato. There is an ancient Greek motto: "God is ever a geometer" (ἀåὶ ὁ Èåὸò ὁ ìÝãáò ãåùìåôñåῖ), whereas, counting the letters of the words (3,1,4,1,5,9) reveals the first six digits of pi (3.14159). This confirms that 'Step 1' of Greek gematria was/is simply counting the number of letters in a word/name and that 'Step 2' is the alphanumeric sum of a word/name. Hebrew, Arabic, and English gematrias also use these Steps 1 & 2, i.e. Liberty7 Bell4 and John4 Hancock7. July 4th = 7/4 and GOD=7_4. The simple fact that the word 'God' has three letters and Christians traditionally think of God as the Holy4 Trinity7 is no coincidence!
Possibly the first story of world religion74 that has been passed through the ages comes from the earliest Egyptian period. The tale of Osiris74 and his body parts74 involved Set, Isis and Horus and 70 others; 74 people altogether (Osiris = 74 = O+S19+I9+R18+I9+S19). Moses - "Prince of Egypt" - went onto Mt. Sinai with Aaron and his two sons, and 70 others; 74 people altogether - Exodus 24:1.
heavens=74, clouds=74, chariot=74
"As above, so below" - ancient Egyptian premise of sacred geometry. The ancient Egyptians were well aware of the 7 moving heavenly bodies: Sun, Moon, and five planets visible to the naked eye. Out of these 7, 4 do not cast a shadow on Earth (Sun, Moon, & Venus do). Also, they certainly recognized the lunar month (moonth) being 29 1/2 days and the 4 phases of the moon being ~7.4 days. They rounded this off to 4 7-day weeks in each of the months74*. This combination of 7 & 4 was sacred to them and they based their Royal Cubits74 on 7 palms x 4 fingers. (Standard cubits - as used by the Hebrews in the Bible - are 6p x 4f.) The Giza Pyramids and Sphinx - as well as all sacred ancient Egyptian monuments and temples - were constructed using the Royal Cubits of 7p x 4f.
Sacred geometry is widely known to be a major aspect of Freemasonry. Less widely known, though practiced by many Masons and non-Masons is 'sacred gematria'. Gematria is the Greek word for geometry (Spanish: geomatria) and in English it refers to the 'geometry of the language': primarily, counting the number of letters in a word or phrase, and the practice of assigning a number to a letter with the number having symbolic meaning. Words/phrases with the same sum have a connect74ion. The Bible and Qur'an were written using gematria. Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic are all alphanumeric languages that were being used centuries before the separate Indian-Arabic numeric system began to appear c. 600 AD. Ancient scribes writing and reading scripture couldn't help but think of letters, words, and phrases also as numbers and looked for natural connections. In Greek, gematria was/is known as isopsephy, and in Arabic, was/is known as hisab al-jummal.
Step #2 of Simple English Gematria would be the practice of encoding A=1, B=2... Z=26. The only irregularity in the code is that the circle can be the 15th letter or a zerO, i.e. GOD=7_4. 7/4=July 4 or 7 April: United States Independence Day is no coincidence, its alignment was the result of Grand Master Masons Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman, and others. This is why the US is the only country to write the date month first: month/day/year. G. Washington - perhaps the most famous Mason47 in history - had 74 generals in the Continental Army (33 of which were Masons). There were 74 representatives chosen to attend the Constitutional Convention (13 known Masons would eventually sign it). On the 74th day of the year - March 15, 1789 - Freemasons (having met at Gatsby's Tavern in Alexandria) laid the Southern Boundary Marker of Federal7 City4/Washington DC, making it the first national monument. This is also one of the reasons why the US is the only country still using Fahrenheit: 74 degrees Fahrenheit is ideally comfortable. One of the reasons the US still uses miles instead of kilometers is that a tropical storm becomes a hurricane when sustained winds reach 74 mph (Hurri.74 Katrina74 reached 174 mph). The US Forever774 Stamp features the Liberty7 Bell4.
Outside of the US, 7/4=7 April. This day is highly significant since it is the day in 30 AD or Friday 7/4/783 AUC - the first full day of Passover - that Jesus74 was on the Cross74.
Orthodox Jews (and others) write God as G-d. This is done because (a) it is disrespectful to G-d to put His name on paper/digital record, (b) if one does write 'God', then that paper/digital record is now sacred and must be treated as such - it can't be simply thrown away, and (c) amongst the Kaballists (Kaballa740), it now encodes...
the key=74: G-d=7_4, the lock=74, weapon=74
It is also no coincidence that Simple=74, English=74, Gematria=74, and connect=74 (c3+o15+n14+n14+e5+c3+t20). Why the emphasis on 7_4? Google: GOD=7_4. London has long been the capitol of the '1 Britain'(=74), London=74. Freemasonry's first Grand Lodge was established in London on the feast day of John4 the Baptist7 - June 24, 1717. June50 24=74. 4/17/6 BC (17/4/748 AUC) was Jesus' actual Birthday.
"The three lodges (out of the four that came together to form the first Grand Lodge) were probably composed of operative Masons, and numbered about fifteen each, while the 4th Lodge had a role of 70 members and was the speculative Lodge, to which all the leading men of the Craft belonged in the early days, including Payne, Anderson and Desaguliers, and a large and influential body of noblemen". "The new Grand Lodge set to bring order out of chaos". - Freemasonry and its Ancient Mystic Rites p.148 & 151, by C. W. Leadbeater (Gramercy, 1986)
"Nicomachus (of Gerasa - 2nd century mathematician) was also intrigued by the pseudo-science called gematria that was not Pythagorean, but originated with the ancient Babylonians and survived in ancient Greece and the Hellenistic period. In gematria, each letter of the alphabet had a numerical value. A word could be spelled in numbers. (Assyrian ruler) Sargon II (727-707 BC), in the century before Pythagoras' birth, had the wall of Khorsabad built to a measurement that was the numerical equivalent of his name - 16,283 cubits. (This is history's 1st recorded use of gematria.) The name of the Gnostic divinity Abraxas had the numerical value of 365, the number of days in a solar year". - The Music of Pythagoras - How an Ancient Brotherhood Cracked the Code of the Universe and Lit the Path from Antiquity to Outer Space p. 189, by Kitty Ferguson (Walker, 2008)
Sargon=74, ruler=74, the king=74, cubits=74, a number=74 Coincidence? Really?!
"Bezalel, who designed the tabernacle to contain the Ark of the Covenant, could, according to Hebrew myth, 'use letters as instruments of power'. Gematria reveals a coherent pattern of creative energy concealed in the text. This in turn leads us to an understanding of the creative process by which our whole Universe is formed". - Gematria - The Numbers of Infinity, p. v-vi, by Marke Pawson (Green Magic, 2004)

"To Pythagoras is attributed the discovery of the 47th Proposition of Euclid, which now forms the jewel of the I.P.M. in English Masonry, and is the basis not only of a great portion of exoteric geometry but, in a mystical sense, of the whole system of the Mysteries, and indeed of the universe itself". - Freemasonry and its Ancient Mystic Rites p. 100
"The #4 was frequently blended and mixed up with the #7, and was esteemed to possess similar universal properties". "The #40, which was also sacred, and bore a reference to the #7". - A Dictionary of Freemasonry p. 515-516

The name of Jesus may be the most miraculous example of gematria! Observe...
Jesus74, (Hebrew/Aramaic) Y'shua74, Joshua74, (Greek) Iesous73, (Latin) IESVS74
"The Gospel according to St. John" in 19:19, states that placed above the Messiah's head on the Cross was a sign inscribed with: "Jesus of Nazareth - the King of the Jews" in Latin, Greek, and Aramaic. The English language evolved using primarily Latin letters. Jesus' name in Latin at the time of the Crucifixion was spelled: IESVS, which equals 74 in Simple English Gematria. This spelling and the King74 was 1,600 years before modern English! How does one explain this? 'Coincidence'?! If so, consider these 'coincidences'...
Not only was King James himself a Freemason, all those that he appointed to the committee to produce the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible were Masons and encoded sacred gematria in their work...

We must include Islam with:
Muhammad74, Sufis74, Al Quds74 (Arabic: Jerusalem) (Please see the Muslim forum: http//:forum.bismikaallahuma.org Simple74 English74 Gematria74: GOD=7_4) The fact that SEG provides a direct link between
74 GOD=7_4, religion74, Jewish74, Jesus74, and Muhammad74 should be acknowledged by all as a great bridge to connect
74 these monotheistic faiths!
Ancient operative masons worked with granite when it was desired for a structure to be preserved through the ages.
Granite=74. How do some who know this '7_4 Code' secretly use it to manipulate the masses through subliminal marketing? Last night (10/30), I saw a bus bench advertising a jewelry store in Ft. Lauderdale and it displayed two brand names:
Rolex=74 & Cartier=74.

7 logo of the letter G within the square & compass is commonly known to stand for 'GOD' and 'geometry'. But it also stands for 'gematria' and the '7th letter within a 4-sided rectangle'. Having the 7th letter contained within the 4-sided rectangle to represent G-d is probably the simplest and best example anywhere of using gematria!

To a Jewish or Christian Mason
47, the name:
'Grand Architect of the Universe' or G.A.O.T.U. is connected to the Hebrew Tetragrammaton: YHWH (YHWH

Most scholars agree that the Apostle Peter (Spanish: Pedro, French: Pierre) was crucified upside down in 64 AD. In English, 'Peter' contains a t - the Cross - and
Peter=64. Apostle #1=74. Why the emphasis on 6_4? Remember that to most Masons there is always a connection between
74 the 'God deity'
74 and nature/science. I presented a poster (one-page-paper) at the NASA Conference Missions for Exoplanets 2010-2020 in Pasadena, CA on April 21, 2009 entitled

The Revelation Chapter 13 has puzzled many since it was first written over 1,900 years ago! As stated above, the entire Bible - both the Hebrew (Jewish Old Testament) and Greek (Christian New Testament) - was written using gematria. The easiest method/'Step 1' of gematria is counting the number of letters in a word or name. Therefore, consider the following...
Ronald(6) Wilson(6) Reagan(6): the "1st Beast"
George(6) Walker(6) Bush Jr.(6): the "2nd Beast"
Of course,
Rev. 13:3, "its mortal wound was healed" would not apply to Bush Jr., however, Reagan received a severe gun shot wound, yet lived. Therefore, Reagan was the
"1st Beast" and Bush Jr. -
"who imitated the 1st Beast" - was the "2nd Beast who made fire come down from the heavens with the 'destruction of Babylon' (War in Iraq)"
Rev. 13:17, "no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark (666)". Well, since at least World War II, US currency has been the 'global currency'...
United(6) States(6) Dollar(6): the "mark of the Beast"
E Pluribus Unum = 13 letters. This ancient Latin phrase means "Out of many, one". Why not say that? Besides the ancient tradition, E Pluribus Unum has 13 letters representing the original 13 colonies/states.
Hanukkah8 or Chanukah8 is an 8-day festival8 as is Passover8. There are a couple million words and names in the English language and I've selectively concentrated on just a few with gematric sums of 74 & 64 so far. Let me add some other gematric sums...

"Is it a coincidence that the (Hebrew) gematria of David, Dallet Vav Dallet, like 'gold', has the unusually low value of 14?" - Gematria - The Numbers of Infinity by Marke Pawson, p. 80
Marke Pawson wrote an excellent book, however, his analysis of 'sacred gematria' pertains only to Hebrew and Greek. The name
'David'=40. This is one of many examples where Simple English Gematria is stronger than the original Hebrew in relevance to sacred scripture! How does 40 apply to David? Even non-Bible readers know the story of David vs. Goliath.
"For 40 days the Philistine (Goliath) came forward and challenged the Israelites." - 1 Samuel 17:16. It was on the 40th day that the teenage David answered Goliath's challenge.
"And the time that King David reigned over Israel was 40 years." - 1 Kings 2:12. Is it a coincidence that the gematria of David in English is 40?
Mind=40, Buddha=40
"The secret laws were passed on from teacher to student for thousands of years and they were never written down. For centuries, the written divulgence of these secrets had been forbidden out of 'necessity' because they could have been wrongly used by the profane and material-minded masses." - The Secret Doctrine, p. , by Helen P. Blavatsky (Theosophical Univ. Press, 1977)
An example of the secret law/ '7_4 Code' of Simple English Gematria being "wrongly used by the profane and material-minded" was when Pres. George Walker Bush Jr. first asked the US Congress to authorize and fund the War In Iraq. His initial
74 request was for $7.4 billion.

The
Tower of Babel (Ziggurat of Babylon) story appears to have some illogic in it!
Genesis 11:1 states,
"All the peoples of earth were of one language and of one purpose". This comes just two verses after
"there were many tribes and many languages" - Genesis 10:31. This is the Bible's BIGGEST contradiction! In fact, everyone was NOT united in one language and that was not what was in "defiance of God". Trying to build a tower up to heaven and into the domain of God is what was in defiance then and today. Don't confuse 'heaven' and 'heavens' - heaven is an idyllic state of mind where one is close to God and experiencing great love and heavens is the sky, low-earth-orbit, our solar system, deep space.
The ancient Egyptians were building great structures centuries before the first Babylonian Ziggurat. Freemasons hold the Tower of Babel story in very high regard because from that lesson, we learn the importance of proper design64 in our endevours, and are led to 'reconstruct' the "One Holy Tongue" that God used to create Earth: English. Masons understand that God - YHWH
64 - is the
Grand Architect of the Universe (G.A.O.T.U.
64).
There are seven aspects involved in the 'primary language of the "plan-it"' then and now...
1. It must connect
74 to natur
74e. This sacred geometry is most profoundly evident in English! The ancient Egyptians were well aware of the 7 moving heavenly bodies: Sun, Moon, and five planets visible to the naked eye. Out of these 7, 4 do not cast a shadow on Earth (Sun, Moon, & Venus do). Also, they certainly recognized the lunar month (moonth) being 29 1/2 days and the 4 phases of the moon being 7.4 days. They rounded this off to 4 7-day weeks in a month*. "As above, so below". This combination of 7 & 4 was sacred to them and they based their Royal Cubits74 on 7 palms x 4 fingers. (Standard cubits - as used by the Hebrews in the Bible - are 6p x 4f.) The Giza Pyramids and Sphinx - as well as all sacred ancient Egyptian monuments and temples - were constructed using the Royal Cubits of 7p x 4f.
2. Linguistic
Theory of Left-to-Right. Kaballist Jews claim "Hebrew is the One Holy Tongue that God used to create Earth" - Zoehar. Muslim Sufis74 make the same claim about Arabic. But both these Middle Eastern languages flow right-to-left which is in opposition to "As above, so below" that their respective ancient scribes based this directional choice on. You see, the ancient Hebrew (including Moses) and Arabic scribes (Muhammad74 couldn't read or write) based the direction of their written language on what they saw in the heavens74: the Sun, Moon, and five 'wandering stars' (planets) were obviously moving right-to-left when the observer was facing the North Star. They believed the world was stationary and perhaps flat. But the Greeks and later the Romans (who got much of their knowledge from the Greeks) and possibly the earlier Egyptians believed the world was round and that it was rotating left-to-right; which is, of course, correct! Therefore, Greek and Latin were written and read left-to-right.
Most everybodies' letters served as numbers until c. 600 AD when the Hindu-Arabic numeral system was introduced. It's quite the convientent phenomenon that for a couple hundred years now, we have a globally agreed on numerical system (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), and of course, these "universal numbers" are read left-to-right. Written music is also globally accepted and it flow left-to-right. Therefore, we can safely assume that the "One Holy Tongue that God used to create Earth" must flow left-to-right.
3. There must be a pictographic (heiroglyphic) nature to the alphabet, i.e. S = Snake, Serpent, Slither, S is a Shape, a Symbol, it's a Sign.
mOOn has the two circles - the Sun and Moon - coming together to begin an eclipse. C is the Crescent moon.
M is shaped like a Mountain with V being the Valley. B lOOks like BOOBs, Breasts, or Butt.
l is a line as in parallel.
D is a Dome on its side.
4. The One Holy Tongue must be phonetic. English is phonetic.
5. There must be 'historical relevance', i.e. Everything Starts with Eve, believe=belly Eve, Sin=S in & Son=S on (mark on Cain). t = Cross as in Christ, Robert=robber t, and Rabbit=Rabbi t, etc.
6. An alphanumeric code/gematria must exist that has strong symbolic meaning. Simple
674 English
774 Gematria
874 definitely exists.
7. English has become the world's primary language - it's not by 'coincidence'. In countries where English is not the primary language, i.e. China & India, English is taught to students as a 'second language'.
