The Curious Observations of Patrick Harbron
At the beginning of this article I mentioned my friend Patrick Harbron who is a commercial airline pilot. Patrick observed that the Star of David was placed within the GPG and then if we were to join its six points by six straight lines that we would create an additional six isosceles triangles (two legs only the same length), as well as three rectangles with their widths the same dimension and their lengths the same dimension but not the same dimensions as a square but different dimensions for the widths vs. the lengths.
What might this observation produce? Certainly, an additional six triangles will produce 180 degrees X 6 equals 1080 degrees or the insignia of the New Jerusalem's "18" to match the same insignia created by the six pyramidion of the Star of David itself or 1080 degrees equal to "18." Together these 12 triangles are equal to: 1080 + 1080 = 2160 degrees + the 120 degrees on each of the interior hexagon's "bends" would add another 720 degrees (6 X 120 deg. are equal to 720 degrees) and ultimately give us 2160 deg. + 720 deg. equal to 2880 degrees, which in turn produces two sets of "144" mirroring, again, both Israel and the Church as originally presented in Revelation 7 and Revelation 14 (i.e., the two groups of 144,000).
Each of the three rectangles have four 90 degree right angles or 4 X 90 deg. equals to 360 degrees per each rectangle X 3 each is equal to 1080 degrees. When this 1080 degrees is added to the 12 triangles (2160) it totals to 3,240 degrees (i.e., 1080 deg. + 2160 deg. equals 3,240 degrees). This "3240" is a fractal of the 3024 or "324" = "324" of the base perimeter of the GPG.
This, of course, still leaves the interior hexagon's angles created initially by the Star of David or 120 degrees X 6 such angles is equal to 720 degrees. Now when we add these 720 degrees (which would constitute all the angles available to us comprised of the 12 isosceles triangles created (2160 degrees) and the 12 right angles derived from the three rectangles created (1080 degrees) and now add in the 720 degrees derived from the interior hexagon's angles (120 deg. each) then our total comes to: 2160 degrees + 1080 degrees + 720 degrees is equal to: 3,960 degrees. This "3960" is a fractal of the radius of the Earth or 3960 miles and it is also one-half (as a fractal) of one of the edges of the New Jerusalem or 7,920,000 ft. divided by 2 is equal to 3,960,000 ft. or "3960" equals "3960."
Thus, the Moon's diameter can be seen herein as 2160 degrees (as in 2,160 miles) or a picture of the Nautical Earth at 21,600 Nautical Miles or "216." The diameter of the Moon at 2160 miles (i.e., 2160 degrees) as well as the Moon's radius at 1080 in miles (i.e., 1080 degrees) are in view here. By combining the radii of the Earth and the Moon (3960 with the 1080) we arrive again at 5040 (as miles), Plato's Optimal Number of Societal Harmony which can be divided by 2 to arrive at the Hebrew Sacred Cubit (i.e., 5040/2 = 2520 or 25.20 inches). This then allows us the "Great Circle" formed by the diameters of both the Earth and the Moon combined at 10080 miles and from thence the circumference at 31,680 miles which is a fractal of the New Jerusalem's four-square base or 7920 (as in 7,920,000 ft.) X 4 = 31,680+ (as in 31,680,000 linear ft.) both giving us the number of man in that if we divide 31,680 or 31,680,000 ft. by 5,280 ft. (one mile) we arrive at 6,000. Could it be that the New Jerusalem is created during a 6,000 year period of time?
Obviously, the Star of David has many more statements to be made--this one article can not contain them all!
CONCLUSION:
The nigh sinister attachment wrought by “satanic influences” to mastermind the notion that the hexagram’s six-sided nature has somehow transfigured itself into a five-sided pentagram, wholly associated with witchcraft and sorcery of the worst order, in order to implicate Israel in some kind of world-wide occult plot to subvert the world and/or to create a New World Order is just plain balderdash, absurd, wrong-headed thinking and lacks historic and mathematical credibility.
The Church for centuries made use of this superimposed triangulation; whereas it is of recent vintage in its ascription to Zionism . . . the Jewish quest for a national homeland, having been scattered throughout their Diaspora for centuries but returning to their ancient homeland and declaring themselves as an independent State in 1948 and so recognized by the United Nations in 1949.
What I am suggesting by the abundance of the abovementioned math and complimentary geometry is this: The Jews somehow adopted the Star of David as their longed-for national movement for their own State (i.e., Zionism).
Embedded within the triangulations of the Star of David is its peculiar association with the Land of Egypt from whence Israel was held in bondage by this Gentile World Power only to be freed through divine deliverance from whence they were ransomed in order to “possess the land” promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: Eretz Israel; ipso facto, the use of the world’s last Wonder of the World still standing, the Great Pyramid of Giza wherein the Star of David is placed.
Now, at their miraculous re-gathering to their ancient homeland—notwithstanding the theological skeptics on both Jewish (for many Orthodox, both modern and ultra deny that THIS is the long-promised “return of the exiles” to their ancient homeland) and Christian (for many Catholic, Orthodox and Reform/Historicist, as well as Post and Amil. and Preterist acclaim no prophetic fulfillment and even some ardent Christian fundamentalists deny Zionism’s claim to the land as a prophetic legacy)—they find themselves encircled by these same Gentile World Powers; however, and simultaneously, their insertion within the base measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza reveals that they are likewise encircled by those from among the Gentiles who have been in-grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel (“[Gentiles] being aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel” (Eph. 2:12).
What we have here abundantly appears to be a phantasmagoric prophetic statement of immense significance unbeknown to BOTH Israel and the Church at the close of this age affixed to the very in-gathering of the exiles as both the logo of their Zionist pride (aka, the Magen David, Shield of David, Star of David adopted as the symbol of Zionism and as the flag of the State of Israel) and as a “badge of shame” mandated upon them by their enemies . . . as well as what appears to be a mathematical and geometric marvel acclaiming the Church’s witness and relationship with “Prophetic Israel” in the Latter Days—a true expression of Biblical Zionism laced with astounding prophetic implications.
When Christian X, King of Denmark, in the 1940s heard that the Nazis were to place the “yellow badge of shame” upon all Danish Jews he wrote:
"When you look at the inhumane treatment of Jews, not only in Germany but occupied countries as well, you start worrying that such a demand might also be put on us, but we must clearly refuse such this due to their protection under the Danish constitution. I stated that I could not meet such a demand towards Danish citizens. If such a demand is made, we would best meet it by all wearing the Star of David." (Wikipedia)
Was the good Danish King in the face of Nazi oppression of the Jew speaking a prescient message to this generation? This interpretation of the Star of David’s possible prophetic message, I can absolutely assure you, will irritate both Jewish and Christian communities; however, again, its math and geometry is so staggering, that to deny Israel and the Church’s “divine witness and testimony”—especially at the close of this age and prior to the literal Messianic Kingdom to be manifested upon the Earth—denies both the literal interpretation of the Scripture as well as the math and geometry which substantiates the same via mathematical and geometric absolutes.
The New Heavens and the New Earth – Doug Hamp
What disturbs many a Bible-believing Christian is the prospect that they just might find themselves inheriting the Earth after all! How’s that? If the teachings of Doug Hamp are followed through to their logical theological, specifically eschatological, conclusions . . . then the “New Heavens and the New Earth” will commence immediately “after the tribulation of those days” (Matthew 28:29-31) wherein Peter’s statement of a New Heaven and New Earth would commence immediately following the “Day of the Lord” which is in and of itself speaking of the Second Coming of Christ in that the language so used indicates as much; to wit: “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” (II Peter 3:10; cf. Matthew 24:35, 43-44; Rev. 16:15-16).
However, Peter goes on to say that this Day of the Lord demands that “in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (II Peter 3:10). Peter’s statements are quite impossible to parse—i.e., the coming Millennium demands a New Heaven and New Earth—for Peter continues:
“Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to the promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (II Peter 3:12-13: Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Rev. 21:1).
Hamp argues that the tumultuous geological dislocations wrought by the Wrath of the Lamb upon the Earth demands an immediate healing of the planet for these cataclysmic, as well as astronomic occurrences wherein the "heavens shall roll up as a scroll" (Isaiah 34:4; Rev. 6:14)--let alone "every mountain and island was moved out of its place"--let alone "every island fled away, and the mountains were not found" (Revelation 6:14; 16:20) at precisely the time known as "The fierceness of His wrath" (Rev. 16:19), simply demands a divine intervention of the first order. No wonder Malachi proclaims that the Sun of Righteousness shall appear with "HEALING IN HIS WINGS!"
What’s at stake here is not a problem from the “Hebrew perspective” because the Hebrew Scriptures mandate that the Earth shall be renewed on that day (Zechariah 14); commensurate with Peter’s words that the New Earth bespeaks of “renewal” as in a “makeover” not as a complete new “replacement” with the absolute passing away of an old earth and the creating of a completely New Earth.
Secondly, where does this leave the Church which allegedly and in reality has returned with Messiah to the Earth (Revelation 19:14) as the “armies of heaven?” When is this fulfilled: “Come, I will show you the Woman, the Lamb’s Bride . . . and he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem,descending out of heaven from God” (Revelation 21:9-10)?
To where does she DESCEND? The notion, according to Hamp, of the New Jerusalem caught in “suspended animation” hovering above the Earth during the Millennium for 1,000 literal years, is fraught with theological contradictions. For one, if she is the immediate Bride of Messiah, would not her Groom, her Husband be with her throughout the Millennium—notwithstanding, the Dispensationalists have the King, the Son of David, enthroned upon His Earthly throne throughout the Millennium and upon the Earth (Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 40-48). So, is He in two places at the same time? Naturally, all things are possible with God; however, isn’t it a bit “theologically” ridiculous to assert that the Church as the Bride of Christ is suspended in the heavens during this time; while the “Wife of Jehovah” is upon the Earth with Israel? Also, think about it: Is she, the Bride of Christ, the "lady in waiting" until after the Millennium? The contradictions are theologically glaring.
Nonsense! The veil between heaven and earth is broken, according to Hamp, once and for all—these two dimensions are forever shattered. The New Heaven and the New Earth have an immediate commencement; notwithstanding at the terminus of the New Heaven and New Earth (the end of the literal 1,000 year Millennium) there is a final rebellion of Satan who is loosed for a short time (Revelation 20:7-10). His rebellion does not obfuscate the New Heaven and New Earth. The time frame wherein “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth and the first heaven and the first earth had passed away” (Rev. 21:1) is thematic in nature, not chronological, as Hamp asserts. In other words, this New Heaven and New Earth occurred in time past (immediately following the return of Messiah to the Earth). Israel’s Son of David reigns in the New Jerusalem, in the Holy District. In this sense Israel and the Church are co-regents with Messiah. The “dimensional” barrier between Heaven and Earth is torn asunder. The New Heaven and New Earth demands that Israel and the Church share in their ultimate expression as the Bride of Messiah. God is not a polygamist nor a bigamist on behalf of the Son of His Love–there is but one Bride of Messiah—there is but One Lord, One King: “And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be—'The LORD is one,' and His name one” (Zechariah 14:9).
Can we comprehend this “dimensional marvel” caught as we all are within this three-dimensional confinement? Not by using the “natural mind”—for these things must be “spiritually discerned” . . .
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God,
For they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them,
Because they are spiritually discerned”
I Corinthians 2:14
A Final Word - Bringing Together Ezekiel's Holy District and John's New Jerusalem
Israel will have to look at this interpretation either as a whimsical harebrain attempt to diffuse the impact of Zionism or embrace it as a “divine gesture” unbeknown to them until now, thereby bringing with it divine promise and Messianic intrusion upon the world AND the Church. Contrariwise, one could simply vilify the entire interpretation as the sum and substance of a satanic plot to subvert the Zionist cause; or contrariwise, to expand the cause of Zionism!
To embrace this elucidation as a prophetic fulfillment disclosed at the end of the age whereby the Church and Israel, as the “heavenly and earthly” reflections of the One City are being brought together at the “end of time” to attest to the wisdom and power of a covenant-keeping God Who is bringing forth His “witnesses” in the Last Days (the TWO OLIVE TREES, Israel and the TWO LAMPSTANDS, the Church (Rev. 11), as the Holy City Jerusalem, to testify and witness against that Great City, Babylon, would be a horrendous “concession” or “admission” on the part of both Israel and the Church.
Face it, this is a bit over the top, isn’t it? Listen, the theological-eschatological ramifications of such a prospect defies the natural mind. Either I’m a heretic or a fool—or a little of both—or what I suggest deserves, yes, demands, an agonizing reappraisal by Bible-believing Christians to reassess the notion that there is a “mutual destiny” of the Church and Israel brought together at the close of this age, in this generation, at this moment in time and space.
Likewise, and perhaps more of a “prophetic conundrum” and even “embarrassment” to the Jew and to the State of Israel, is to discover that their very Star of David which identifies Zionism and ipso facto the State of Israel and the very essence of the Jew is somehow inextricably bound together with the Church’s destiny whereby the Islamic inclusion of them (i.e., the Church and Israel) as THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK is in fact emblazoned on their National Flag!
Its geometry and math appear abundantly designed in BINDING Israel and the Church together as the New Jerusalem—with, as I have pointed out in my text (Signs in the Heavens and On The Earth…Man’s Days Are Numbered), the “above” New Jerusalem is, on that future day, “dimensionally aligned” with Ezekiel’s “below” expression of the Holy District (Ezekiel 40-48). The math, for example, of Ezekiel's Holy District which is described immediately after the "Supper of the Great God" as well as the "Gog-Magog War" (which sounds very much like the "Finald Conflict") gives the edge of the "Sanctuary" as "500 Rods" (i.e., 12.6 ft. X 500 Rods = 6,300 ft.) + the "4500 cubits" of the Holy City or 9, 450 ft. will equal (6,300 ft. + 9,450 ft. = 15,750 ft. divided by 2.1 ft. (HSC) will equal to 7,500 HSC. Four numeric considerations stand out:
(1) The edge of the Sanctuary in Ezekiel is 6,300 ft. which is a fractal of the 630 ft. found in the length of Noah's Ark of 300 cubits X 2.1 ft. are equal to 630 ft. (likewise, in inches the 630 ft. or the 6,300 ft. X 12 inches is equal to either 7,560 inches of 75,600 inches both of which are fractals of the base edge of the Great Pyramid of Giza's 756 ft.
(2) The 9,450 ft. of Ezekiel's Holy City is a fractal of the "mean" distance between the Earth and the Sun (i.e., being 94,500,000 miles; whereas the New Jerusalem 12-edged perimeter reflects 7,920,000 ft. (one edge) X 12 is equal to 95,040,000 ft. which is a fractal of the distance between the Earth and the Sun at apogee (its furthest orbit). The difference between the distances is: 94,500,000 less 95,040,000 is equal to 540,000 or "54"--a number set we have found throughout these measurements connoting Plato's Optimal Number of Societal Harmony or 5040/2 is equal to 2520 (or the fractal of the HSC).
(3) The 7,500 HSC (comprising the combined edge of the Sanctuary and the Holy City of Ezekiel comports with the "75 days" found in Daniel 12:11-12 wherein there are 30 days unto the 1290th Day of Desolation or 30 days beyond the terminus of Daniel 70th Week (i.e., 2520 days or 7 years or 7 days and 1260 days for half the week + 30 days is equal to 1290 days and then 45 days beyond this 1290 days would be the statement: Blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335th day or 45 days beyond the 1290th day. These are the "mysterious" 75 days beyond Daniel's 70th Week. Thewse days signal the coming of the Sun of Righteousness, Messiah to the Earth. Furthermore, if we were to add BOTH the combined edges of the Sanctuary and the Holy City (7,500 HSC X 2.1 ft. equal to 15,750 ft. or "1575") to the base edge of the New Jerusalem (7,920,000 ft. or "7920") we would have a most interesting sum of 1575 + 7920 = 9495 wherein the first two digits of Ezekiel's combined edges of the Sanctuary and the Holy City are seen (i.e., "94") and that of the entire twelve edges of the New Jerusalem are seen as "95" (Yes, I know this is a bit out there . . . but it is most interesting.).
(4) The entire Holy District of Ezekiel is 100,000 HSC in its perimeter (Ezekiel 40 through 48) enclosing three major sections, including the Sanctuary, the portion for the Levites and the Holy City with adjoining sectins for urban homesteading. These 100,000 HSC are equal to 2,520,000 inches (which expresses the fractal of the very HSC itself at 25.20 inches). The base perimeter of the New Jerusalem as seen by John, the Beloved, is 7,920,000 ft. (which equals 12,000 furlongs) X 4 is equal to 31,680,000 ft. X 12 inches is equal to 380,160,000 inches (four-square perimeter). Again, by the elimination of the zero in after the first for digits we have 2520 + 3816 equal to "6336" which we have discuss is representative of the "Lamb upon the Throne" wherein the "Suffering Servant" gave His all for the Holy City, New Jerusalem, the Bride of Messiah (6...33...6 . . . wherein "33" is the age of Messiah at the terminus of His earthly ministry and that He was crucified between two men, two thieves represented by the number "6"). Thus, the two perimeters resoundingly echo throughout eternity His quest to "tabernacle among them" and to be in eternal relationship with His One Bride!
The imagery of this eschatology is revolutionary and sets in motion a whole series of heretofore improbabilities.
Careful, before you decry Israel’s unbelief and sordid injustices upon hapless Palestinians (who, incidentally, are apparently well armed given abundant assistance from fellow Islamicists); take a gander at the growing apostasy insinuating itself in virtually all branches of Christendom—particularly, the “Submergent Church Movement” within evangelicalism.
Regardless, the vision of the New Jerusalem awakens within the soul a descending celestial reality ready to break the veil between heaven and earth to acclaim her terrestrial manifestation.
Forgive the repetition, however, this imagery is derived from the New Jerusalem bearing the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel for her gates and the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb upon her foundations. Both are joined in holy matrimony as the Bride of Messiah for all eternity. The Church is NOT the 12 Tribes of Israel. She, as the 12 Apostles of the Lamb, is as distinct as the 12 Tribes of Israel. But the two distinctions are both the WOMAN, THE LAMB’S BRIDE! That is the divine order. The Star of David, along with the above geometric amplifications set within the Great Pyramid of Giza, expand that theme.
Am I saying that the rebirth of the State of Israel and the arch-symbol of Zionism, the Star of David, is a prophetic statement of the first order involving the New Jerusalem integrating Israel and the Church as the ultimate Bride of Messiah? That is precisely what I am suggesting and in so saying I shall be either defamed for such an “absurd outburst”—everything from eisogesis of the Scripture to the ramblings of an insane fool; or to a wholly deceived and deceiving heretic—or greeted as an expositor of exquisite insight akin to “The just shall live by faith.”
May God judge the meaning of these things for the good of His people. I believe the true Church in these last days shall find themselves inextricably linked in this great prophetic proposition with the fulfillment of Israel’s materiality at the helm of Messianic hope . . . therefore, do not think it strange that the Almighty would choose a direct descendent of Martin Luther who excoriated the Jews to come up with such a contradiction to Luther’s indictment against the Jews! It’s just like God to outwit history and declare His Great Name in such a way!
Indeed, I know that I shall get flack from both Jew and Christian on such an interpretation—BUT THE MATH DOESN’T LIE! Now, its integration with the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza substantiates its declarations all the more. This adds a new dimension and understanding regarding the “Sun of Righteousness” Who shall arise on the Great Day of God (Malachi 4:1-2), as well as these Scriptures – from Peter (the Church); from Isaiah (Israel); and from the Gentiles themselves (Balaam); and finally, from the Sun of Righteousness:
“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,
Which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place,
Until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts”
(II Peter 1:19)
“Arise, shine; for your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.”
(Isaiah 60:1-3)
“I see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near;
A Star shall come out of Jacob;
A Scepter shall rise out of Israel”
(Balaam’s Fourth Prophecy – Numbers 24:17)
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches.
I am the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
(Revelation 22:16)
