Q the Resurrection of the Dead

1818

The essence of Rosh Hashanah is judgment, and the essence of Yom Kippur is mercy.

From Judgment to Mercy

Rosh Hashanah is the day of visitation פְּקֻדָּה and remembrance זְכִירָה, the same day is called “the day of the conception of the world” הַיּוֹם הָרָת עוֹלָם. “The day of conception of the world” in “atbash” is 431, which is exactly the gematria of “visitation and remembrance”, as follows:

Visitation פְּקֻדָּה 189
Remembrance זְכִירָה 242
431

The point of conception is when life is created something from nothing, ex nihilo, which is Rosh Hashanah, and the next critical moment is the acceptance and continuation of life in the womb, which is Yom Kippur.

Conception denotes selecting one and limiting many, which is harsh judgment.

On Yom Kippur blood was brought into the Holy of Holies to atone for life, which is symbolized by the womb of the mother that nurtures life. This is mercy, which in Hebrew is Rachamim רַחֲמִים, the same root for womb רֶחֶם.

The gematria of mercy רַחֲמִים is 298, which is exactly the same of “womb and blood” רֶחֶם וְדָם.

And bring his blood into the Holy of Holies וְהֵבִיא אֶת-דָּמוֹ אֶל-קֹּדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים 1369

1369 is 37 squared, where 37 is the gematria of Yechidah יְחִידָה, the highest level of soul that one can attain by the forgiveness of sin on Yom Kippur.

Yechidah is the essential connection between God and man, which is the secret of Mashiach.

“Yechidah and Mashiach”יְחִידָה וְמָּשִׁיחַ in gematria is 401, which is the same of “Yechidah on Yom Kippur” יְחִידָה בְּיוֹם כִּפּוּר, also the same of “in the blood of atonement”בַּדָּם הַכִּפֻּרִים.

Midat HaDin

Rosh Hashanah is the “attribute of judgment” מִדָּת הַדִּין, the gematria is 513, corresponding to the offering of his son by Abraham, which is read on Rosh Hashanah:

וַיֹּאמֶר, אַבְרָהָם, אֱלֹהִים יִרְאֶה-לּוֹ הַשֶּׂה לְעֹלָה, בְּנִי And Abraham said: ‘God will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son.’ (Gen 22:8)

The Hebrew הַשֶּׂה לְעוֹלָה בְּנִי can be read as “My son is the lamb for a burnt-offering”, which in gematria is 513, when the defective “vav” is restored to burnt-offering. This is exactly the same gematria of Midat HaDin (the attribute of judgment) for Rosh Hashanah.

The shofer blast consists of three types:

Tekiah – long blast תְּקִיעָה 585
Shevarim – broken blast שְׁבָרִים 552
Teruah – staccato תְּרוּעָה 681
1818

The secret of the shofer sounding is the three steps to awaken the dead. The first long blast is for those that are in light sleep, followed by the intermediary, until the final staccato which is for those in deep sleep.

1818 is the same gematria of “the time of the resurrection of the dead” הָעֵת לִתְחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים, which is the same gematria of:

Resurrection of Yitzchak (Isaac) from his death

תְּחִיַּת שֱׁיִצְחָק מְמוֹתוֹ Isaac is the prototype of the death and resurrection of Mashiach whose death serves as the atonement.

1818 is also the gematria of Mashiach revealed progressively and regressively, as follows:

Mashiach
מָּשִׁיחַ

מ מש משי משיח משי מש מ
