Sura Maryam 19:1 - 33: The 4th Gift of the Magi ABSTRACT Sura Maryam validates Luke’s version of the Nativity; 19:1 The 4 Arabic letters are interpreted by Arabic numerology to mean “Christ is my God 19:19 describes the announcement by the angel Gabriel of the birth of Jesus and ]points to John 19:19. which establishes the historicity of the crucifixion of Jesus with the sign Pilate affixed to His cross announcing the charge of sedition: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews; 19:33 describes the aric of Jesus’s life and points to John 19:19, which confirms His death on the cross. Among other things, 33 is a number associated with the martyr: Jesus was 33 when He was crucified and Mohammad Atta was 33 when he flew his airplane into the World Trade Center on 911. COMMENTARY As I say, I first encountered the mind of Islam in 1995 at the Million Man March by Minister Louis Farrakhan. I was impressed with his oratory and agree with his theme that America’s racism is a mental illness, but the thing that I came away from this encounter is that the mind of Islam, like the mind of the Pharaoh’s, has been shaped by an 8-base numerology and that the number 19 was important to Minister Farrakhan. Subsequently, I checked a copy of the Cairo translation of the Qur’an out of the library and read it. My overall impression was that the Spirit of God does not abide therein, at least in translation, and that my initial intuition of the primacy of an 8-base numerology was correct. Although there is a strong 7-base influence from the lunar calendar and residual idolatry, a 7-base numerology is characterized by divination while the thrust of an 8-base numerology is calculation. 2 is the cube root of 8 and this reflects the engineering and defining constraints of Egypt and Islam. A thousand years before Moses was pulled from the water, the Pharaoh’s had fashioned a society with sufficient social organization to put a man on the moon and it was the paradigm shift that occurred when the pharaohs and priests adopted the 8-base numerology as the theological and mystical standard that led to the success of the nation. The problem with an 8-base numerology is that it is something of an intellectual cul-de-sac, in that it permits sublime executive manipulation of the finite boundaries and the material, but it becomes limited entirely by those boundaries. This is why the priests and advisors of the Pharaoh could not interpret his dream of the 7 fatten cattle and the 7 lean cattle nor the dream of the 7 fat sheaves of grain and the 7 withered sheaves of grain. Enter Joseph, whose heritage from the God of Abraham is a 9-base numerology. Where as an 8-base numerology is characterized by the boundaries of knowledge, a 9 base numerology is characterized by the horizons of wisdom, knowledge expanded by the Spirit of the Lord. And that was my impression of the Qur’an: it was firmly anchored in the finite and measurable and bereft of the Spirit of God I associate with the scripture of the Hebrew Bible and the Gospels. On the other hand, it held the same intellectual qualities for me as the epistles of Paul. From my perspective, if you take Jesus out of the theology of Paul, you have Islam. Recently, I have reviewed virtually all the Bishop NT Wright’s videos on KZfaq and I come to appreciate the intellectual design of Paul’s theology, but I have no passion for it. Bishop Wright is an ENFP, while I am an ESTP, and NFs are all about passion while SPs tend to be significantly more existential. The important thing about Paul’s theology is that is originates in the Jerusalem doctrine that is defined by Peter’s confession in Acts 10: 32 - 43 and is absolutely reliable in this regards, For myself, I am aligned with Bishop Wright’s epistemology and his emphasis on the Cross, the here-and-now of the Kingdom of Heaven, Agape as the coin of redemption and Filos as the engine of the Christian community. In short, Islam offered me nothing, The argument that the power of the Qur’an is lost in translation may be true, but it is a weak argument on the face of it. I don’t read Greek, Hebrew, or Latin, but none of the essential power of the Gospel story is lost in translation, Bart Ehrman notwithstanding. I would say that the biggest cultural problem Americans have with Bible stories, generally, is that we have absolutely no analogue for life under a monarchy. Evangelicals like to work themselves into a lather about King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but it doesn’t translate for me. But what does translate is Jesus as a study in Duty and Servant-Leadership as it relates to translating the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. From my perspective, Islam amounts to little more that a re-invention of the Torah and adopting an Arabic version of an Amish lifestyle. So, I moved on. I have been interested since 1990 in establishing Cornelius as the author of the Gospel according to Mark, which has been made apparent to me by the Holy Spirit and certain elements of numerology associated with the chapter=and=verse numbering. If you want to see the divine in action, this is about as blatant as it get. In the first place, the numbering for the chapters and verse was not added until 1511: it is not part of the original text of the 20.000 manuscripts of the first 400 years and was added primarily to facilitate type-setting. In addition, the symbols we use for numbers are a direct result of Islam and didn’t exist as such, generally until about the 12th century. My point being that the insights I will cite are based on elements added to the Bible (and Qur’an) for purely utilitarian purposes: these numbers were added to make it easier to access the text. Period. But the hand of God has employed this pedestrian exercise with revelation. Starting first with the number 13, this is an important symbol, numerologically, of the Finger of God in the Hebrew Bible. In the dreams of the Pharaoh, Joseph recognized that the dreams represent a 13 year weather cycle in that there will be 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine which over lap at the 7th year of plenty and the 1st year of famine, This configuration, 6-1-6 occurs at regular intervals throughout scriptures and is recognizable to anyone familiar with DeVinci’s Lsst Supper. 13 can be seen as an Ideogram, with a lightening bolt being held over the head of the Trinity. It just shows up everywhere in the text. Itself. But in the chapter-and-verse addition, Revelation 13 jumps out at me for a number of reasons, First of all, it is something of a Cubist portrait of the centurion in charge of Jesus’s execution (Paula Gooder observes that William Blake reveals to her that Revelation is less a book than an art gallery). Of course, this chapter is famous for the Number of the Beast 666. I’ve read a lot of commentary that this is the result of numerology associated with the name of a Roman emperor or a particular Jewish patriarch, but I think it is literally the number on Jesus’s death warrant. The Romans were hopelessly bureaucratic and the centurions were what we call “warrant officers” in the modern military organization and carried a cudgel of their authority in the same way British police carry a warrant card. Jesus was number 666 execution in that fiscal year. Now, as an Ideogram, I happen to like 666 because, with the modern number symbols, they can be seen as the bent nails driven into Jesus’s flesh. Military officers are in the habit of knocking wood 3 times if they say anything that might be construed as hubris and tempting fate and the tradition originated on Golgotha. But, it turns out that a newly discovered manuscript of Revelation 13 is the oldest version yet discovered and the number is 616, which is equally satisfying to me, for several reasons, including its reflection of the chapter=and-verse addition of Revelation 13. But, as an Ideogram, 616 is symbolic of the Risen Lord as a butterfly newly emerged from its chrysalis and spreading its wings to dry in the sun before taking flight. Take your pick: I like either one. But that isn’t the important revelation from Revelation 13. One of the questions about Christianity is why and how it spread so quickly and I think the connection between this chapter in Revelation and the Synoptic Gospels, generally, provide the explanation. If you compare the verse structure of Revelation 13 to the first 18 lines of Matthew 13, they are identical (at least, close enough for government work). This is the Parable of the Sower. Now, there is a certain figure-field gestalt within the narrative, constructed of the figure of the SEED being spread by the Sower and the field of the GROUND upon which the SEED falls, Bishop Wright’s Pauline orientation causes him to focus, inevitably, on the figure of the Sower and the SEED and characterizes the Seed that falls on the GOOD GROUND as GOOD SEED and the seed that falls on the inhospitable ground as BAD SEED. Well, the hidden message of this relationship is that the GOOD GROUND which produced the 100 fold return is, generally, the Roman Empire and, more specifically, the Roman legions. That’s why the numerology of Revelation 13 is pointing at Matthew 13: it is my premise that the news of Jesus’s resurrection was being circulated by the Roman soldiers who witnessed it first hand that first Easter morning and that the event spread throughout the Roman legions in Italy long before either Peter or Paul got there. My position is that Cornelius wrote the Gospel according to Mark after he debriefed Peter in Acts 10 in 40 CE and that Peter’s narrative was added to what was already circulating around campfires and ready rooms across the empire. In fact, at the same time that Mark can be seen as the result of what Peter told Cornelius, the Gospel of Peter is what Cornelius told Peter at the same time. As bizarre as that narrative may seem to us, it reflects the psychological impetus behind the spread of the story of the resurrection. Now, as I say, Revelation 13 points to Matthew 13 and, in the methods of numerology, in which all numbers are reduced to a single digit, 13 reduces to 4 and Mark 4:1 - 18 is the Parable of the Sower. Where 13 can be seen as the Finger of God as a lightening bolt, 4 is the number of the material world and represents the place where the lightening strike occurred. Revelation 13 is a divine revelation to lift the veil on the mystery of the proliferation of Christianity and the author of Mark. Cornelius is both the author of Mark and the source of the Gospel of Peter and the reason the details of the resurrection was not included between Mark 15:47 and Mark 16:1 was to conceal his identity and in compliance with the arrangement the soldiers made with the Jewish authorities. Plus, they didn’t need a reminder of the details of the resurrection. All this is background to the subject of this commentary, that is, the divine revelation in Sura 74:30 “And above it is nineteen”. 19 years ago, I came away from the Million Man March with the numbers 8 and 19 emergent in my intuition, I have been dabbling in numerology since 1965 and I am constant alert to numbers as I encounter them in my environment. For one thing, it is one way the Holy Spirit communicates with me. Not the only way, but numbers are handy: He just hasn’t found it necessary to give me some winning Power Ball numbers, but it’s a little bit like the angels who dwelt with Jesus in the Wilderness, a reminder of His constant presence. So, when 19 pops up, I tend to pay attention, the most famous being the 19 Jihadists who carried out the 911 attacks. 20 people originally comprised the attack team, but one of them got arrested before the assault, so only 19 conducted the attack. These details came out almost immediately and it would be hard not to see the hand of God in these circumstances, Only, I had no idea what it meant except I was suppose to pay attention to it (just for the record, it so happens that there are 19 bones in the hand and 8 in the wrist, so my reference to the Hand of God is not without a literal reference). What changed was that my brother gave me a lap top in 2012 and, earlier this year, I began to expand my research into Mark in KZfaq videos. One of the first of these was Dale Martin’s Study of the New Testament on Princeton Online. For various reasons, the most important fact regarding the historicity of Jesus I gleaned from this series is John 19:19, which describes the sign Pilate attaches to the cross of Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. All four gospels mention this fact, but the numbers caught my attention. At some point, it occurred to me to google the relationship between 19 and Islam and that’s when I was led to various KZfaq videos around the theme of “The Mathematical Miracle of 19 in the Qur’an” around the Hidden Secret of Sura 74:30 and the computer analysis Dr Rashad Khalifa undertook employing 19 as the common denominator. Muslim propagandists are beginning to take these sites down because the revelation 19 represents is doing to 1446 years of Muslim academics and Islamic apologetics what Jesus did for the money changers in Mark 11. The fact is, Dr. Rashad Khalifa didn’t understand what he had wrought, because he claimed for himself the status of Prophet by virtue of being named in the Qur’an. He assumed the status qua would remain constant and his personal status would be elevated in the rarified air of Muslim scholarship. The fact that he was assassinated had more to do with intramural jealousies and blood feuds than any understanding of the essential reconfiguration 19 represents to the status quo. While the various producers of these videos are spiking the ball and taking a victory lap with their various calculations, their efforts are invested in trivia. While what they reveal is the extent to which 19 is woven into the fabric of the Qur’an, they miss the true significance of The Hidden Secret. When I apply the numerology of 19 to the Qur’an in the same way I did with Revelation 13, the meaning of the Qur’an reveals itself like the embedded image in one of the 3-D Magic Eye graphics: the Qur’an reveals itself to be a parable that Mohammad never understood and Sura Maryam 19:1 - 33 is the crown jewel literature. In fact, a case can be made that the rest of the Qur’an can be thrown away as Satanic Verses while its meaning is perfectly preserved for Islam in these 33 ayat. There is no other context but 19 and the need for Arabic to tell the tale is completely obviated. What 19 reveals is that Mohammad was a Christian heretic whose task was to lead the Children of Ishmael to Jesus and into covenant with Abraham. Instead, he hijacked the revelations for political expedience and personal benefit. Once Ta’if converted in 631, his usefulness to God was complete. As it is written, God opened his aorta soon after he issued the blasphemy and apostasy of Sura 9. At the same time, Sura 74:30 is the legacy of Mohammad. The Qur’an is the beginning of Arabic literature and Sura Maryam is the last gift of the Magi to be laid at the crèche of the Baby Jesus. The future of Islam leads through Sura Maryam, with its opening ayat Christ is my God and ayat 19:19 that leads to John 19:19 and the Jihad of the Cross. It is not a coincidence that Malala Yousafzai has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize she shares with a kindred spirit from India, but an expression of divine purpose. Malala is engaged in the Jihad of the Cross. Maryam is her Guardian Angel who cradled her back to life when the Jinns of the Jihad of the Sword tried to chill her blood. Maryam is the Patron Saint of Islam and, in the fullness of time, her ayats will be adopted by the catholic church as liturgy to be sung for Mary, Mother of God, Redemptrix during Advent. Amen.

Jesus is God. Every letter in the Qur’an leads to Jesus Celebrating Ramadan with the Gospel of Matthew The de-coding of the Hidden Secret of Sura 74:30 by Dr. Rashid Khilifer reveals 19 as the essential context of the Qur’an. As Shabir Ally attests, mathematics is the language of God and not Arabic. Dr. Khiliher’s computer analysis establishes the divine inspiration behind the 1924 Egyptian edition of the Qur’an and the hand of God deep in the warp and woof of the fabric of the text. In addition, 19 reveals that the Qur’an is a parable that Gabriel dictated to aid Mohammad in his task in guiding Muslims to Jesus. 19 reveals that the meaning of the Qur’an, which Mohammad either never discerned or ignored, is entirely contained in Sura 19:1 - 33. Among other things. Sura Maryam: validates Luke’s version of the nativity: establishes the crucifixion of Jesus in the connection between Sura 19:19 and John 19:19: establishes the death of Jesus on the Cross by the connection between Sura 19:33 and John 19:33; and, finally, reveals that Sura 4:157 is a fabrication by Mohammad arising from his desire to usurp Jesus’ role as Emmanuel. 19 has reconfigured the relationship of the three religious traditions arising from Abraham. While Muslim scholars have invested enormous energy and imagination in establishing the presence of Mohammad’s name in the Hebrew and Christian scripture, including a Hebrew adjective in Song of Songs, and a reference to Mohammad in John 16:7’s reference to the coming of the “Comforter” (or Helper), which, in reality, is the Holy Spirit, the fact is that the Gospel of Matthew was inspired by the Holy Spirit in anticipation of Mohammad’s ministry to Araby and the creation of the Muslim peoples. The fact is that 19 displays the Qur’an to the eye of the believer in a manner similar to the 3D Magic Eye graphic designs. It just jumps out as a blatant display of the hand of God. But the elegance of this revelation is even more evident when the meta-structures of Arabic are applied to the Gospel of Matthew, The Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters and the Gospel of Matthew is composed of 28 chapters, Now, it so happens that Psalm 119 is composed of 22 stanzas and each stanza corresponds in sequence to a letter in the Hebrew alphabet, which is composed of 22 primary letters (Mohammad’s revelation extended over 22 years) The meaning of these relationships have a Kabalic value unimportant here except that it exists and the same relationship exists between the letters of the Arabic alphabet and the chapters of Matthew. While the purpose of this commentary is not to illuminate the meaning of these relationships, one purpose of this acrostic is to assure Muslims that the Gospel of Matthew has not been corrupted, but was composed in the first century precisely to welcome them into the grace of Jesus and the renewed covenant with Abraham. Every letter of the Qur’an leads to Jesus. The Arabic alphabet imposes a very interesting structure on the Gospel of Matthew. The idiom of Arabic reveals a 7-base numerology, especially in the music of the Qur’an, which is composed in the minor key. In this respect, Arabic tends to reflect the lunar calendar and can be arranged in four groups of 7 letters (various versions of Arabic numerology includes 9-base system with three groups of 9 letters and one left over, and a 10-base system with two groups of 10 letters and one group of 8, not unlike the Gematria). However, the lunar based system is the most satisfying when compared to the logical elegance of the Qur’an, which is its essential flaw. Every letter of the Qur’ However, when this structure is applied to the Gospel of Matthew, the events in the narrative lend themselves naturally to four groups of 7 chapters each and the action can be associated with the phases of the moon. The Gospel of Matthew begins during the dark of the moon with the nativity of Jesus in 1 and 2. These chapters should be associated with Sura Yusuf 12: this Sura and the Night Ride was an attempt to guide Mohammad to submit to Christian and Jewish instruction to corrent and expand his understanding of his commission, but it remains as evidence of the relationship between Muslims and the Gospel of Matthew. Chapter 3 - 7 describes the process of personal revelation Jesus undertakes in preparation for His ministry. These chapters include the Temptation, which is the third of the dialogue between God and The Satan begun in the Book of Job; the Sermon on the Mount, and the beginning of His ministry and the assembly of His team. This is a period of definition for Jesus and especial instruction for His Disciples. It is something of a roll out. Of particular interest to Muslims is Matthew 6:5 - 15, the Lord’s Prayer and Matthew 6_16 - 18, His discourse on Proper Fasting. The Lord’s Prayer is not a prayer of petition, but a format for accessing epistemology, which is the purpose of the scriptures, generally, Neither the Qur’an, which is a Gnostic construct, nor the Hadiths, contains epistemology. Modern Muslim academics substitutes authority for epistemology, which is why Muslim dominate cultures tend to languish in perennial poverty and social decadence. The Lord’s Pray replace the static methods of Aristotle with the dynamic processes of post-Newtonian inquiry. The discourse on Proper Fasting is unique in the Gospels and it is an absolute validation of Ramadan as a righteous and proper celebration of fasting. Chapter 7 ends with the rising of the Crescent Moon and the beginning of Ramadan. In Chapter 8 - 14, Jesus begins to establish the processes of the Kingdom of God (the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are the same thing) and to attract a large popular following.. The first two people he meets in Chapter 8 are unclean, a leper and the pagan centurion. This anticipates the development of Christianity as a universal Gospel and the discarding of the unclean categories of the Torah. This centurion is revealed in Luke and Acts as Cornelius, who I propose was the author of the Gospel of Mark and was an eyewitness to the moment of resurrection. Matthew is recruited in Chapter 9 and this, along with certain other details, suggests that Matthew is both an eyewitness to Jesus and the author of the Gospel bearing his name constructed around Mark as a aide memoire. Chapter 10 Jesus instructs His Disciples on missionary work and then sends them out to expand His teaching. He continues to define His nature in Chapter 11 - 13 and Chapter 14 measures the success of this activity with the feeding of the 5,000. Chapter 14 ends with the rising of the waxing half moon and, given His rejection in Nazareth and the beheading of John the Baptizer, the music is “Bad Moon Rising”. Chapert 15 - 21 is witness to the rising opposition to Jesus by the Jewish establishment. The sniping begins immediately as the scribes and Pharisees question His Disciples lack of attention to ritual washing. Chapter 15 also contains the feeding of the 4,000 and Muslims need to take these two events together. In the first place, the number of people adds up, numerologically to 9, which, in the case, represents the end of a cycle of process. Mohammad’s last revelation Sura 9. likewise represents the end of a cycle, as the blasphemy contained obliged God to open his aorta shortly thereafter. In addition, the number of the baskets collected after the feeding amounts to 19 (12 and 7) and is is featured in this manner to assure Muslims as to the veracity of these events. And the sheer mass of the two crowds, 9,000 people represents the size of a Roman legion. Chapter 16 - 20 is a study in mounting tension as the Pharisees test his bonofides. Jesus contuse to reveal His nature and destiny to His disciple and, once Peter cofesses Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God, at which point, Jesus sets His fact to Jerusalem (according to Mark). Chapter 21 is the entry into Jerusalem and ends with the rising of Full Moon rises. A difference between the celebration of Passover and Easter revolves around the full moon. Passover falls on 15 Nissan, while Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinos,. Chaper 22 - 28 is the week of the Passion. Sura 19, the 4th Gift of the Maji, establishes the historicity and reality of the crucifixion of Jesus and His death on the cross in Chapter 27. Chapter 28:4 reflects the report of the moment of the resurrection and 28:11 is the report to the Jewish elders of those events by the Roman guards. The Gospel of Matthew ends with the rising of the waning half moon and the last week of Ramadan. Every letter of the Qur’an leads to Jesus.
