345 + 543 = 888 As The Central Mathematical Equation in the Jewish and Samaritan Tradition

I don't want to sound presumptuous but I really believe that I have unlocked some of the secrets of early Christianity. You see while all these other scholars think that all the answers lay in uncovering 'texts' they missed so many things about the original tradition WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TEXTUAL TRADITIONS.

Take the mathematical formula that I discovered earlier tonight 345 + 543 = 888

At first I was think of it in terms of being an early Alexandrian Christianity mystical formula, one that involved the Marcosians or some such sect.

It was the number 888 that threw me off.

But then as I was putting my son to bed I started thinking of the 345 as the name of Moses - M (40) + Sh (300) + H (5) - or the name - Mark M (40) + R (200) + Q (100) + H (5).

The Jews and Samaritans have always been obsessed with the number 345. They also were very aware that the mirror image or palindrome of that number - 543 - represented the highest power in the Jewish godhead - אהיה אשר אהיה 'I am that I am.'

I started thinking about the traditions of my ancestors and I remembered that in studying the weekly Torah-portion, they read each verse shnaim mikra ve'echad targum ("twice in the [Hebrew] original and once in [Aramaic] translation." The acronym for this custom is shemot, which means "names."

Shemot is it itself is the name of the second of the Five Books of Moses (Exodus). In the Torah-portion Shemot, Moses is born, receives his name, and asks God to reveal to him His Name, the Name of redemption (Ehyeh asher Ehyeh, "I shall be that which I shall be," which equals 543, the "mirror image" of Mosheh = 345).

With me so far?

As I have shown from the Samaritan writings themselves last month, Mark the Samaritan (Marqe) used the LXX to show that the number 888 appeared at the beginning of the Song of the Sea (Ex. 15.1 i.e. 'then sang' = 888).

Why was he so interested in this number?

I demonstrated that according to the Samaritan exegesis the Lord of Glory entered the sea and had fire mingle with the water to ultimately glorify the ancient Israelites. Now I am starting to wonder whether the original Samaritan concept - long before the advent of Christianity - was that God Almighty became one with Moses:

345 + 543 = 888

That's why the number 888 appeared at the beginning of the song. 888 is an expression of the concept of mortal and immortal uniting in one body. (Eph 2.14 - 16)

You see I have always struggled to explain why the Marcionites preserved the name of Jesus in Aramaic as Isu. It has always been theorized that it was an adoption of the Greek Iesous into Syriac. I think this is correct but now I have determined the reason for the Marcionites clinging to the Greek name IESOUS.

They wanted to keep the association with 888.

You see long before Christianity had developed the 888 appeared at the beginning of the Song of the Sea in the LXX. It must have been taken as a sign of the union between Moses and the highest aspect of godhead.

The Christians weren't saying that Jesus was the combination of man and god but rather another name which added up to 345 (Mark) and 'I am that I am.' This is the whole context of the first addition to the Gospel of Mark found in the Letter to Theodore.

The 888 already represented the promise of the fulfillment of man's uniting with God through the ritualized recreation of the crossing of the sea.

Now let's go back to Shemot. God first addresses Moses at the burning bush, by calling his name twice: "Moses Moses," just as in God's Name, His Name (Ehyeh, "I shall be") is repeated twice. I think in either case the underlying idea is the mingling of 345 and 543.

This entire understanding undoubtedly predated Christianity. Mark used the name Iesous to secretly convey his mingling with God Almighty in the initiation described in the lost portions of his gospel (LGM 1).

I happen to think that 'Paulos' was a deliberate corruption of Mark's title the work (po'olo) or perfect work [Deut 32:4] of God and we see that the Marcionites originally referenced the idea of Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (= the grace of GOd) mingling with their apostle to establish him as the awaited Paraclete prophesied by Jesus:

And again: For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not wrought by me by word and deed. I am the last of all the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle. But by the grace of God I am what I am. And it, is his wish to have to deal with those who sought the proof of that Christ who spoke in him, for this reason, that the Paraclete was in him: and as having obtained His gift of grace, and as being enriched with magnificent, honour, he says: For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you; for strength is made perfect in weakness. Again, that it was the Paraclete Himself who was in Paul, is indicated by our Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel, when He says: If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray my Father, and He shall give you another Comforter. In these words He points to the Paraclete Himself, for He speaks of another Comforter. And hence we have given credit to Paul, and have hearkened to him when he says, Or do you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me? and when he expresses himself in similar terms, of which we have already spoken above. [Acts of Archelaus 34]

Wake up people! Your guides have been lying to you since the beginning of this Roman heresy. The truth of Christianity goes back to the most ancient messianic traditions of the old faith.

Why not spend the time to learn them?
