Introduction and Intent of this article
Americans are getting ready to participate in the 53rd presidential election this November 2000, and whoever of the two presidential candidates, Gore or Bush, is elected will become the 43rd president of the United States of America.
The next president will be the first elected president to serve in this millennium. The first presidential term began in 1789 with the election of George Washington who was the first president of the United States that served two terms.
Now the 43rd president and the 53rd presidential term have great significance and startling consequences that very few Americans understand. The numbers 43 and 53 have very special meaning according to divine numerology as laid down within the Bible. They foretell the future in a general way.
Although the specifics of future events are not revealed, numerology can illustrate some principles that will occur. These numbers symbolically represent principles that repeat themselves over and over down through the ages of times. These principles act in accordance to the tabernacle pattern given to Moses and the children of Israel who built it in the wilderness of Sinai after they came out of Egypt.
Events in time occur in accordance to a 3-fold tabernacle pattern, which consists of a Court Round About, Holy Place, and Most Holy Place. In a general sense, events are 3-fold. They are past, present, or future, just as Israel’s migration was also 3-fold: Egypt, Wilderness, and the Promised Land. The present becomes the past, which shapes the future.
One can understand numerology and major events if one has an understanding of how certain events occur in the Bible in accordance to the pattern and purpose of Elohim. This is the model that Elohim revealed to Israel so that mankind can understand His operation.
What is the significance of the number 33?
Many scientifically and academically trained men believe numerology is superstition and they are very skeptical of its value. A few examples, however, will reveal numerology does have some divine meaning. For instance, the number "33" has great significance, for it is the number of years Yahshua the Messiah spent in the flesh fulfilling the Old Covenant (Heb. 11:17). It is also the number of degrees in the Scottish Rite Freemasonry secret society.
A very important "33" occurred with Israel in the Wilderness at the River Jordan, which reveals its symbolic meaning. After Israel spent 40 years in the Wilderness, Moses died and Israel mourned his death 30 days (Deu. 34:5-8). Joshua the Son of Nun gave Israel 3 days to prepare victuals before crossing the Jordan River into Canaan Land (Jos. 1:10-11). This is a total of 33 days and afterwards Israel entered the Promised Land through the River Jordan. The priests with the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the River Jordan and it miraculously divided (Jos. 3:7-17) like the Red Sea divided when Moses raised his rod (Ex. 14:16). Israel went into the Jordan on dry ground. So the number 33 or the 2nd veil in Israel’s migration represents a way into the Promised Land made by Yahweh Elohim. Entering the Promised Land represented a New Order for Israel, for it symbolically represented heaven.
Now the Messiah fulfilled the number 33 by spending 33 years in the flesh. He resurrected from the grave and the second veil was rent from top to the bottom that divided the Sanctuary and Holy of Holiest, making them one compartment in the Herodian Temple (Mt. 27:51-53).
In the tabernacle pattern, the second veil is the 6th step out of seven. It is also called the veil of the flesh. Now summing the digits of 33 we get 3+3 = 6. This shows forth that the number 33 represents the veil of the flesh.
The renting of the second veil signifies a new and living way made into the new present age of grace (Heb. 10:19-22).
Was the number "33" important during World War II?
Any historian knows that World War II was the greatest event in the 20th century that changed the whole world geopolitically and economically. President Truman, the 33rd President of the United States and a 33rd degree Mason, ended World War II, according to Ralph Epperson’s book the Unseen Hand, by dropping atomic bombs on two largely Christian populated Japanese cities, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, (p. 400).
Now dropping two atomic bombs on Japan—the raising Sun—ended World War II. This correlates symbolically with the end of the Post-Diluvian age that was brought to an end by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and fire poured on Jews first and later on Gentiles. The Apostles experienced Pentecost 53 days after the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection. Later the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit by believing the words of truth (Eph. 2:8-9). The fact that the two atomic bombs consumed much Japanese flesh symbolically represented the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and fire on the Apostles and Gentiles which consumed their fleshly carnal minds (Acts 2:1-4).
President Truman being the 33rd president and a 33-degree Mason correlates with the 33 years of the Messiah’s life.
The invasion of Normandy took place on June 6, 1944, which was the beginning of the end for Hitler. Now June 6 represents the day of Pentecost—a Hebrew feast day that will be discussed later in this article. This began the present age of Grace where the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Apostles who received power to overcome the fallen angels in this spiritual war.
Another example of the principle of the number "33" is 1933 when President Roosevelt (32nd president) took America off the gold standard and prohibited Americans from owning gold during the Great Depression.
The point being made here with these examples was to show that the number 33 had some basis in history and that it represents a principle that repeats the purpose of Elohim over and over again.
Later in this article it will be shown how the number "33" is related to the number 43 and 53. It will also show how they are related to the Messiah and what principles they represent.
What is the significance of the number 430 or "43"?
As shown with the number 33, examples from the Bible reveal the divine meaning of numerology. Now Israel’s migration out of Egypt and John the Baptist immersing the Messiah explains the meaning of the number "43".
From the promise that Elohim made to Abraham concerning Israel until Moses and Joshua the Nun delivered them out of Egypt was 430 years. Moses wrote the following: "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Yahweh (the LORD) went out from the land of Egypt. (Ex. 12:40-4; Gal. 3:17)."
Here we see that the number "430" represents the principle of something being released and something being cast down. Moses confronted Pharaoh at the end of 430 years, which initiated great changes in Egypt, for Yahweh destroyed it with plagues.
The Messiah fulfilled the number 430 by beginning His ministry at 30 years old, when John the Baptist baptized him. The Messiah was delivering Israel from the bondage of sin and the Law of Moses (Gal. 4th chp.), which compares with Israel’s release from Egyptian bondage.
According to Bible chronology, the Messiah began His ministry 4030 years after Adam’s and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden. It is 4,000 years from Adam’s expulsion out of the garden to the birth of the Messiah. This is verified with the sun being put into the heavens on the fourth day of Moses’ vision (Gn. 1:14-19). Now Peter said that 1 day with Yahweh is as thousand years, so 1 day = 1000 years, thus 4 days = 4,000 years (2 Pet. 3:8). The Sun in the heaven symbolically represents the true and only Son, Yahshua the Messiah.
One has to understand that "0" is just a placeholder. So, the number "430" in principle is the same as the number "43" and so is "4030." The sum of the digits of "430" is 4+3+0=7 and 4030 is 4+0+3+0=7, showing they both represent the number 7. In Hebrew theology the number 7 represents the principle of perfection or completion. This is confirmed by Moses’ account of creation, which was created in 6 days with Elohim resting on the Sabbath (Ex. 20:8-11).
The number "43" symbolically represents the principle of deliverance or change, as we see with Moses delivering Israel after Elohim killed Pharaoh and His Son and destroyed Egypt. Also Yahshua the Messiah delivered Israel from the bondage of Satan and his host as the Messiah began His ministry.
What is the meaning of the 43rd president?
With these examples one can understand what the number "43" represents according to the scriptures. Since history repeats itself (Isa. 46:9-10; Eccl. 1:9), the principles must manifest themselves with the 43rd president whomever he is. The exact details of the various events are not known at this present time.
What can be said is that during the end of his term, a crisis will arise of major proportion that will result in great changes for the country. (better or worse) From this point on, no one will look at America the same, just as after the Messiah’s death there was great change in Israel and the Law of Moses was not looked upon in the same way.
What is the meaning of the number "53"?
The 53rd presidential term from George Washington who began the first term, has special significance, for this number is also associated with Israel and the Messiah. It foretells of a New Order, as we will see with Israel and Yahshua the Messiah.
Now the number "53" is involved in the feasts days that Elohim gave Israel, and the children of Israel’s migration. Israel departed from the land of Egypt on the night of the Passover (Ex. 12:1-32), which was Nisan 14 on the Hebrew calendar (April 14 on Christian calendar), which was a lunar calendar.
Now 53 days after Nisan 14th, Yahweh spoke the ten commandment laws to them from a fiery cloud atop Mt. Sinai (Ex. 19th and 20th chp.), which was the 6th of Sivan or June 6 on the Christian calendar. This is Israel’s Feast of Weeks also called Pentecost in Greek. In short, it is 53 lunar days from the Feast of Passover to the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).
The giving of the Law to Israel at Mt. Sinai was a New World Order for Israel in righteousness in comparison to their sojourn in Egypt. None of the Egyptian ways were valid in worshipping Yahweh in the Wilderness of Sinai. Under the New Law Israel was forbidden to worship graven idols (Ex. 20:3-4).
The Messiah fulfilled this number "53" for it was exactly 53 days from the Feast of Passover, the day on which he was crucified, to the Feast of Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit was poured out on His disciples. Thus, the last 53 days of the Post-Diluvian age brought an end to the Law of Moses (Rom. 10:4) establishing a New World Order. This established the New Covenant where one worshipped Elohim in Spirit and Truth (Jn. 4:21-24)
The Messiah was the Paschal Lamb for Israel’s sins (Jn. 1:29). He resurrected on the third day, which was the Feast of First Fruit and the beginning of the barley harvest. From the day of the Messiah’s resurrection, the Feast of First Fruits, to the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) was 50 days or 7 weeks plus a day or 7 weeks x 7 days = 49 days + 1 day = 50 days.
The Day of Pentecost, which was 53 days from the crucifixion, began the New Age of Grace. The spiritual kingdom was established on earth as the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Messiah’s disciples (Acts 2:1-4). This was the New World Order, for man began to worship their Heavenly Father in Spirit and Truth (Jn. 4:21-24). They were freed from the old form of worship under the Law of Moses and began to awake spiritually.
What does the 53rd presidential term symbolize?
In short, this 53rd presidential term will be marked by events that will bring about a New Order that will be as drastic a change as the New Covenant in comparison to the Old Covenant. What these events are, only Yahweh knows and they probably will be revealed to someone in visions or dreams.
How do the 20-year presidential cycles work?
In addition to the next election producing the 43rd president during the 53rd presidential term, there is a fateful zero presidential cycle beginning in the year 2000. This is where every president elected on the 20-year cycle starting in 1840 died or had an attempted assassination on his life while in office. This cycle accounts for all the presidents that died in office except for Zachary Taylor (12th president). Future articles in the PLIM REPORT will examine the importance of this cycle. The writer of this article wrote a pamphlet, in 1984, that explains this cycles in detail, entitled "AN EXEGETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE RETIREMENTS (DEATHS) OF THE PRESIDENTS OR ESCHATOLOGY OF THIS COUNTRY IN ACCORDANCE IN OFFICE AND THE ULTIMATE FATE TO THE DIVINE PURPOSE, PATTERN AND PLAN." So the question is whether this cycle is still valid.
1840 Election of President Harrison, 9th President
1860 Election of President Lincoln, 16th President
1880 Election of President Garfield, 20th President
1900 Election of President McKinley, 25th President
1920 Election of President Harding, 29th President
1940 Election of President Roosevelt, 32th President — attempted assassination
1960 Election of President Kennedy, 35th President
1980 Election of President Reagan, 40th President — attempted assassination
2000 Election of President ???, 43rd President, 53rd Presidential Term
We will have to wait and see the purpose of Yahweh unfold on this 20-year cycle.
Conclusion
It is hoped that this article has shed some light on divine numerology using Biblical scriptures and modern events. The repetition of principles occurring on these numbers for the last two thousand years should prove their validity.
The reader must keep in mind the principles behind these numbers. Now the number "43" represents the destruction of the Old Order and its leaders and deliverance from bondage as in the case of Israel in Egypt. The number "53" represents the establishment of the New Order where laws and principles are revealed, as with Israel being given the 10 commandments and the Holy Spirits being poured out on Israel on the Day of Pentecost.
Now the question to ask is not whether anything will transpire on these numbers this time around, but what manifestation will take place. Only a revelation from Yahshua will reveal for certain what will occur.
Finally, everyone is very optimistic about the beginning of this 3rd millennium after the birth of the Messiah on the Christian calendar. This optimism is not based on anything tangible. The numbers discussed in this article appear to indicate a different scenario, one that may involve major changes and crises for America that most people do not anticipate.
