On the middle day of creation week, day four, YHWH configured the sun, moon, and stars in their relation to the earth, setting in motion the weekly and annual Sabbath festal (mo’ed) cycle of appointed times (Gen. 1:14), times to meet with God in rejoicing and rest. Things of the highest significance are often centrally placed, and the visible world unlocks the invisible realm of Elohim (Rom. 1:20). When we enter the light of His Presence, what in our visible world opens our eyes to see Him who is invisible? How does the light of His atonement interface with humans, producing life? What does the Tabernacle’s menorah shining on the twelve loaves do? How does sunlight affect the earth? This blog explores the answers.

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying: “Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to YHWH. And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonements, to make atonement for you before YHWH your God. For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath” (Lev. 23:26-32, NKJV)

The pivotal position of the Day of Atonements within the Pentateuch, the holyday timeline, and the creation week give rise to its importance in restoring all things to God. The renewing of all things begins with repentance (Mat. 17:11), brought about by His Spirit teaching individuals to observe all things Yeshua has commanded (Mat. 28:20; Jon. 14:26). His commandments are the light by which all things are exposed (Pro. 6:23; Eph. 5:13). For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things (Rom. 12:36; 1Co. 8:6). And by Him, all things are reconciled through the blood of the cross so that He might fill all things (Eph. 4:10; Col. 1:22). There is then, a coming judgment and atoning that will purify creation from all defilement, making a new heavens and a new earth in which God will dwell with His people that He may be all in all (1Co. 15:28; Eph. 1:23). Atonements is why Paul focused intently on Christ crucified, the power and wisdom of God unto salvation (1Co. 1:23).

The Day of Atonements is tied to time markers, Yeshua’s sacrifice mid-solar week on a Wednesday Passover (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and mid-lunar leap year week (3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 19). Israel was to count fifty days from the wavesheaf to Pentecost (see Blog 56, Ap. 12). The shofar announced the fiftieth-year Jubilee on Atonements. God gave us time markers on creation days 1-4-7 and in the calendar’s festival rhythm. How did Simeon and Anna know the time of the Messiah? The sacred Scrolls are filled with people’s birth and death years, the length of kings’ reign years, and events. Time markers show God’s covenant faithfulness in sending One who would make it possible for a holy God to dwell on earth in oneness with us through providing atonement for the land and its inhabitants. His sacrifice is the axis mundi of human history, the heartbeat of YHWH’s love.

The center of the solar week and the center of the lunar leap-year week, four and eleven, hold the key to God’s invisible power becoming visible. “The Day of Atonements” Hebrew letter sum is 411, 3 × 137. The 4 and 11 midpoints in time relate to the universe’s fine-constant number¹, 4² 11² = 137, governing how light energy interacts with matter particles. Achieved in the chlorophyll molecule of 137 atoms, C₅₅H₇₂MgN₄O₅, plants convert sunlight to chemical energy (food) using carbon dioxide and water, giving off oxygen. Oxygen, a molecule of eight electrons, symbolizes the breath of life. Green chlorophyll molecules absorb mostly blue, then red spectrums, which together comprise indigo. If we shine the light of the seven² visible colors of the rainbow, whose wavelength values are divisible by 5, upon the eight Feasts of YHWH listed in Leviticus 23, indigo falls upon the Day of Atonements. And if we take the ¾ pattern of the C-Major octave, whose eight notes Hertz value are all divisible by 11, and overlay them onto the Feasts of YHWH listed in Leviticus 23, the Day of Atonements corresponds to note A, 440 Hertz, 8 × 5 × 11. To hear the music of the light of the Day of Atonements, we can add indigo’s wavelength frequency of 425 nm (5² × 17 or 5² + 20² or 8² + 19²) to 440 Hertz, yielding 865 (5 × 173, or the sum of two squares 17² + 24²)³. Math communicates concepts of quality, shapes in space, their structure, measurement, and change. Specifically, the sum of two squares always graphs as a circle⁴. Square and circle geometry represent holiness. So, the melody of Atonement’s light praises the victorious power (17²) of YHWH’s counsel (24²) in bringing all things to holiness (qodesh, sum 404, 2² + 20²). Ezekiel’s visual construct of the Jubilee temple measures in multiples of 5, 25, and 50, 5² × 20 = 500 = 10² + 20². His gift of Atonements is the threshold between the material and spiritual dimensions, the Sabbath of Sabbaths⁵. Since flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God’s eternal Sabbath until changed, the equation, 4². + 11² = 137 (33^rd prime, 15^th Pythagorean prime), represents Yeshua’s atoning mid-week sacrificial intercession symbolized by the divine fine-constant number, 137, converting matter into spirit, the result of being in His holy Presence, the menorah’s light shining on the twelve loaves of bread.

When Yeshua, our High Priest, spoke to the Jews about His coming death and atoning sacrifice, He warned them that they would die in their sins if they refused to believe in Him (Jhn. 3:24-30). They said to Him, “Who are you?”

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” John 8:28-30

Yeshua lived the first and greatest commandment by laying down His life for us, pleasing the Father. Our response to the heart of His love is to shema, “And you will love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deu. 6:5, 10 words totaling 1644, 12 × 137).

Takeaway:
From the foundation of the world, YHWH sang His melody of light, the wisdom of His love for us, that we might know who He is when He atoned for our sins and made us holy in Him.

Fun Factors:
Leviticus 23:26-32’s seven verses have 357 letters (3 × 7 × 17, 3² + 5 + 7³; digit product 105, digit sum 15) in 89 words (24^th P, 10^th PP; 8² + 5²), totaling 26183; 2878^th prime (2 × 288^th prime); 26183’s digit product = 288, digit sum = 20. “He shall be a Priest on His throne” = 288 (Zec. 6:13).

Adding 11² (menorah’s light) to Leviticus 23’s 7-verse Atonement command (26183 + 121) equals 26304, 8² × 3 × 137 or 4² × 12 × 137. It is not surprising to find Zechariah’s Atonements sixth vision sum is 137 × 100 or that the 137^th prime is 773, letter value of “High Priest,” the Day of Atonement’s primary actor.

Leviticus 16’s letter sum equals 150756, 150700 + 56, (1100 × 137 + 7 × 8); 56 = the light God named “Day” in which we can see.

Exodus 15:2, “YHWH is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him” has a Hebrew letter sum of 1781, 13 × 137.

Acts 7:49 “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? Says YHWH, or What is the place of My rest?” has a Greek letter sum of 11645, 5 × 17 × 137.

John 6:56, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in Him” = 7946, 58 × 137.
