The Arks
In the 3x3 Magic Square of Saturn featuring the first nine numbers, the constant is 15, the sum of all the numbers of the square is 45. [The letters in the name Adam total to 45.] In the 6x6 Magic Square of the Sun, the magic costant is 111, and the sum of all the numbers of the square is 666.
Chapter 6 of Genesis deals with the description of the dimensions for Noah's Ark. (Bible dimensions are given in the form of length, breadth and height.) For the ark the length is given as 300 cubits, the breadth as 50 cubits and the height as 30 cubits (Gen 6:15). The volume is 300x50x30 or 45 with a bunch of zeros. The area is 300x50 or 15.000. The perimeter is 300+300+50+50 or 7.00. In Genesis 7:20 we read that the water rose 15 cubits, and in 7:24 we see that the water prevailed for 150 days. The periods between the release of birds was seven days each time. ("And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.")
The ratio of the length to the breadth is 6:1 and the length to the height 10:1. Note that 10 is the earth's number and 6 is the sun's number. Note also that obelisks were built with a 1:10 ratio of base to height, and remember that upon raising the pillar stone in Genesis 1:28, Jacob says 'of all you give to me I will give one tenth to thee'. The sum of the first nine numbers is 45, and the sum of the first ten numbers is 55. The Washington Monument is 55.5 at the base x 555.5 feet tall. See Hebrews 7:2, where we read, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all".
Multiplying both sides of 6:1 by six gives us 360:60. We treat this as a rectangle spread round the globe 60 degrees wide. While the sun moves from 23 degrees north to 23 degrees south of the equator, the moon moves 5 degrees beyond the sun (to 28 degrees) and Mercury, the most eccentric of the planets, moves 7 degrees beyond the sun's extreme position (30+ degrees). A rectangle 6:1 describes the boundary of the visible planets on the globe. The outside dimension represents the range of Mercury, while the inside dimension represents the range of the sun.
The sun's 23.5 degree limit forms a border inside the rectangle. Remember that 30 degrees north and south is where a hexagram inscribed in a circle would touch the sides of that. That is the reason that a hexagram is used to depict the planets in the rose cross emblem. Note Saturn is at the top of this image. Saturn is the last sphere that the soul inhabits on its way back to the stars, and Saturn 'rules' Capricorn; also the sun is said to die in Capricorn, so it has been deemed the Gate of Death. The moon, being the last sphere the soul encounters before birth and being the ruler of Cancer, Cancer has been named the Gate of Birth (for this astronomical era).
"And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, And he had in his right hand seven stars, and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." Noah carries seven passengers with him in the ark. Below we see an Egyptian illustration of that story.

In Exodus 25, the Ark of the Covenant is described as 2.5 cubits in length, 1.5 in breadth and in height. Doubling these numbers gives us 5x3x3 which is 45. The end of the ark was a square, while the top and sides were in the 3:5 proportion. Looking again at Noah's Ark we see that the ratio of its breadth to height is also 3:5. The side of the doubled Ark of the Covenant is the end of Noah's Ark, and the ark would be made of ten of these 3x3x5 blocks. In Gen 28:22 Jacob says 'of all that thou give unto me, I will give the tenth unto thee'.
The diagonal of the 3x5 rectangle produces a 31 degree angle. That is, a 3x5 rectangle inscribed in a circle touches that circle at 31 degrees from the equator, the point that Mercury ranges to. This is just one hemisphere's view. The outside dimension represents Mercury path, and the inner dimension the sun's path contained therein. The Shekinah (Glory of God) that appeared over the Ark and lit the room of the Most Holy Place has it’s parallel in the sun, which He created for His glory. You can see the notion of the sun's bounded way depicted by the staves.
Note that the dimensions given for the ark were 300:50:30. If we multiply these by 6/5 we get 360:60:36, meaning that our map rectangle is conceptually 36 tall? Thirty six is six squared, and the sum of the first thirty six numbers is 666. In the Magic Square of the Sun the constant is 111, three ones. The sum of all the numbers of the square is 666. (The sum of the first 11 numbers is 66, and Pi equals Phi squared x 6/5.)
The magic square of the sun (36 cells) can be generated by quartering the nine cells in the magic square of Saturn. (Surveying in the US is done using 6 mile by six mile grids of one square mile sections.) Dividing each of Saturn's nine cells nine times (fractal) gives us the magic square of the moon with 81 cells. Notice that these are the three down the center of the planet hex emblem above. Mercury's square quarter's the squares in the Jupiter square, and the earth's square of ten, quarters the squares in the Mars square (5). 4 and 5 are different takes on life, just as Jupiter and Mars are represent different governing styles. Jupiter rules from a throne with a shephard's crook, while Mars rules from a war chariot with a flail in his hand.
Jupiter is related to Mercury numerically as Mars is related to the earth, and Saturn, the sun and moon all relate to one another. 5 x 5 is an altar number in the Bible. As a matter of fact, one altar was 5x5x3 tall meaning it had a 3x5 profile. In terms of fractions we can say that the square of Saturn represents 1:3, and Jupiter 1:4, etc. All of these but two can be derived without much trouble from the square using a straight edge, as was shown before.
Looking at the epic poem about Gilgamesh, we see that the 'ark' mentioned is cubic and measures 60x60x60 fathoms. The footprint is square and the area of that is numerically 1/6th that of the Noah's ark. 60x60x60 is actually a cubic expression of the 6x6 sun square. The flood in the Bible ends a 600 year period. "And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry." Six hundred shekels of gold is the price that David paid for the threshingfloor on which the Temple eas to be built. "So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight."
This ark takes 7 days to build, and the flood lasts seven days. "I laid out the shape of her sides and joined her together. I provided her with six decks, dividing her (thus) into seven parts. Her floor plan I divided into nine parts." A square divided into nine parts is the square of Saturn. "When the seventh day arrived, The flood (-carrying) south-storm subsided in the battle, Which it had fought like an army."
"And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits. And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house." The house was 60x20 and 30 tall. The floor area would be 12.00 like the months, and the volume would be 60x20x30 or 36.000. The 10x20 porch gives us 2, and the 20x20x20 Holy of Holies gives us 4 and 8, the squares and cubes of 2.
