Number 4, Dalet, Judah, Passover & Revelation 4

by Will Schumacher

I have posted on the number 4 a few times. You can view my old post on the number 4 or my post on the 4th book of Revelation. I also alluded to the number 4 in my prior post about the Euphrates.

The number 4 is the first divisible number. Physical creation is divided by the number 4. There are 4 seasons. There are 4 directions-north, south, east, and west. There are 4 elements - earth, wind, air, and fire.

In the Bible the number 4 seems to always be associated with division of the physical. Its first use is with the river flowing out of Eden dividing into 4 rivers:

Genesis 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The 4th letter of the Hebrew alphabet is dalet. It means “door”. A door divides what is inside and what is outside.

Jesus says twice He is the door/dalet:

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

As the door, Jesus says He is here to divide as a sword divides. Those who are His become a different creation with a different purpose in life.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

God’s sacred name, called the “Tetragrammaton”meaning “the four letters” is spelled with 4 letters, yod-hey-vav-hey. This is the primary way how God reveals Himself to creation.

Judah is the 4th son of Jacob. Judah’s name is spelled with the same 4 letters of God’s sacred name but the 4th letter dalet is inserted in the 4th position. Judah is thus spelled yod-hey-vav-dalet-hey.

This is seen as saying Judah is the door to God, the yod-hey-vav-hey. Jesus is the door of Judah, the lion of the tribe of Judah. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that salvation is from the jews/Judah:

John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Strong’s H702 =”four”.

There is only one verse with a gematria of 702 in the bible. It is about the tribe of Judah and it’s leader in the wilderness, Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

Numbers 1:7 Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

This Nahshon is the brother and Amminadab is the father of Elisheba the wife of the first high priest. We are the wife of the High Priest, Jesus the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Exodus 6:23 Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Nahshon has the same root as “serpent” and “brass”, as in the serpent of brass lifted upon a pole to save the people.

Numbers 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived

Jesus referred to Himself as this serpent of brass lifted up for the salvation of His bride:

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Jesus is our Passover lamb. He is the door. In the Exodus story the blood of the lamb was put on the door posts.

Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

To the jewish people the Passover seder meal is tied to the number 4. There are 4 cups of wine. There are 4 questions asked. There are 4 sons.

There are 4 gospels that tell the story of Jesus and His redemption.

Jesus’ garment was divided into 4 pieces at His sacrifice as the Passover Lamb:

John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Jesus was sacrificed on the altar of the cross which has 4 points. At the same time that he was nailed to the cross, the high priest tied the Passover lamb to the temple altar. All Israelites who killed the Passover lamb as prescribed by God in the old testament would have the blood of the lamb poured out at the altar.

Jesus is the door. Strong’s G 2374=”door”. Verse 2374 is about the altar.

Exodus 29:37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

The altar is foursquare with 4 horns.

Exodus 27:1-2 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits. 2 And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass.

Judah, the altar, the Passover meal, and the atoning death of Christ as the Passover lamb are all tied to the number 4. Why? Because by his death we are physically divided when we come to faith. We walk through the door from being children of this world to being Sons of the Living God.

John, who wrote the 4th gospel, shows us this when he goes through a door in the 4th chapter of the book of Revelation and sees the church seated in the heavenlies in the 4th verse.

Revelation 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Ephesians says we are already seated in the heavenlies:

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

In Revelation 4 there are 4 groups shown:

1) the yod-hey-vav-hey on the throne.

Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

2) the 24 elders; see Revelation 4:4 above.

3) the 7 Spirits of God:

Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

4) the 4 beasts:

Revelation 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Notice what they praise God for, creation.

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

As I posted on the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the 22 chapters of Revelation, each chapter is a reflection of its corresponding Hebrew letter. Revelation chapter 4 is about the physical creation and its division.

God relates to His creation as the yod-hey-vav-hey. The Holy Spirit is sent to His creation. The church/24 elders is God’s creation that has been divided from the physical to the spiritual, we have been spiritually reborn. The number 24 is an allusion to the 24 divisions of the Levitical priesthood of the OT. We as priests filled with the Holy Spirit represent the yod-hey-vav-hey to His creation. We sound the trumpet in Revelation 8. The 4 beasts are somehow related to God’s power/Spirit in action. The 4 banners of Israel’s 4 camps match the 4 faces, which match the distinct message of each of the 4 gospels. We see their associated work in Revelation 6.

How to write the Letter Dalet In Hebrew

Dalet - a closed door

Spiritual poverty, a heart that feels its need, is the first thing that makes us fit for the kingdom of God. He who does not have this first qualification cannot have those that follow. “There are many,” Augustine says, “who would rather give all their goods to the poor than themselves become poor in the sight of God.” The source of true humility is found only in Him “who, though He was rich, yet for our sakes became poor.”

“Blessed be ye poor.”—This is indeed an admirably sweet, friendly beginning of His doctrine and preaching. For He does not proceed like Moses … with command, threatening and terrifying, but in the friendliest possible way with pure, enticing, alluring, and amiable promises.—Luther.

I'm getting the feeling that I'll be seeing a lot of Zionists' comments on my posts unfortunately, but I'll inform everyone about them if you want to block and move on

This was off my strike posts earlier

If you missed the last one I had posted

Let's not forget that Israel refused HAMAS's deal to release hostages, by the way.

And just the other day, I found out that Israel's always had a plan for ethnic cleansing and recommend everyone to look into what's known as Plan Dalet created back in 1948.

Peace was never in Israel's plans -- genocide was.

Reminder: Bisan has called for marches for Ceasefire between today to the 20th, and there is an ongoing strike that started today extending to the 25th.

Navigating Transition and Embracing Change: Insights for 5784 and 5785

From Where Are to Where We Need to Be When plotting out a route we need to know two things. 1-Where we coming from and 2 -where we are going. What is our starting point? What is the destination? Once we know these two things we can begin to plan for the journey. Unfortunately, many of us don’t know the answer to one of both of these questions. Dalet is all about transition Contained within the…

This time it's a little chibi work for Escaflowne called "Follow The Leader" that I drew in 2006. It shows Dilandau and his Dragonslayers (from left to right) Shesta, Gatti, Dallet, Migel, Guimel, Viole, Kagero, Ryuon, Yaifa, and my RP original character, Fuuoshi. I remember I drew it by hand on three sheets of printer paper I'd taped together.
