Update: 

I began working on this post on Easter morning. (Recall the opening words to this post.) About the same time that I wrote the above caption and it was posted (1:37 PM), a severe tornado outbreak was ramping up that killed 34 across the United States with 155 tornados. During the storms, a steeple-tower at a Baptist Church caught fire and collapsed in Alabama. Lightning had struck the tower at 12:45 PM and was reported in numerous news outlets.

I mention this because when I wrote those words, "Every tower must fall...", I sensed then that I was prophesying, with emphasis on the word "Every".

Therefore, the Lord says this, 'No institution will be spared in the great equalizing on His balance, not even those close to Him', (Isa 40:4,12 -- 'Coincidentally', see next image that literally depicts Isa 40:4,12).

³ A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
⁴ Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
⁵ And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

The code is found in the 4th verse. It starts at the first letter and ends on the last letter of Isaiah 40:4, as it is written four chapters later:

This is what the Lord says—

Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:

I am the first and I am the last;

apart from me there is no God. Isa. 44:6

There are 50 Hebrew letters in Isaiah 40:4. The code begins at the very first letter. Start from the first letter and then skip every seventh letter seven times (7 x 7 letters), two words appear in Hebrew (כשופ השסה). The two words set the stage for the main code. Symbolically, “7 x 7” (using the full 50 letters) symbolizes perfection and completion, as at Pentecost or in the year of jubilee, (Luke 4:17).

This is just a summary about the code, so I will not go into detail about these two words now, כשופ השסה.

Those two words כשופ השסה in ancient Hebrew mean: “Like someone who snatches the plunder”.

There is much to explain, but I will not be distracted from the main point. The word שופ (‘to bruise’, ‘crush’, ‘strike’, ‘snap at’) is found just four times in the Bible. Note how it is used the first time in the Bible as that sets the stage for all that follows. It is found twice and is located in the very first prophecy in the Bible.

Click on this link to the Blue Letter Bible. It will explain the meaning more fully. It means to “lie in weight” in order to seize or attack an object.

שׁוּף שופ shûwph, shoof; a primitive root; properly, to gape, i.e. snap at; figuratively, to overwhelm:—break, bruise, cover.

Genesis 3:15-16

And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and hers;

he will שופ crush ^b your head,

and you will שופ strike his heel.”

To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;

with painful labor you will give birth to children.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you.”

The second verse, here, about childbirth, is important. It ties in with the birth of the twins in the womb of Rebekkah, (Isaac’s wife)  who struggled within her womb. The twins are Jacob and Esau, one born rugged and hairy, the other of smooth skin.

The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.

The Lord said to her,

“Two nations are in your womb,

and two peoples from within you will be separated;

one people will be stronger than the other,

and the older will serve the younger.”

When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. (Genesis 25:22-25. ‘A hairy garment’ like John the Baptist, I might add.)

I am trying to keep this short, so, in a nutshell, when they came out of the womb, Jacob seized the heel of his brother Esau with his hand. When you think about it, this must also mean that Esau, therefore, had his foot on or near the “head” of his brother Jacob.

It’s a picture of Genesis 3:15-16.

The rest of the story about Jacob and Esau is all about who gets the inheritance — that is, who seizes the plunder. For though the inheritance is something freely given, both connived and fought to have it as if it were a prize to plunder.

Eventually, Jacob straightened up and was no longer crooked (as the name-change of Jacob to Israel implies.) Jacob, upright in his own eyes, later hobbled along to meet his brother by the “Crooked Brook”, known in the Hebrew tongue as the “Jabbok River”,  a play on words for ‘Jacob’. (Gen. 32).

Keep in mind that the name “Jacob” is a play on words for “one who snatches the heel”. The word Jacob is the same as that found in Genesis 3:15.

All this will be important later in order to understand what the main code in Isaiah 40:4 is saying. It should not be too hard already to see the connection — especially in the original Hebrew.

As you read these verses again, keep in mind that “rough ground” in Hebrew is related to the word for heel and  Jacob. Recall smooth-skinned (crooked) Jacob, who fled from exile to return home, only to meet along the highway his rough-skinned twin brother.

A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground(‘Jacob’) shall become level (i.e., made Israel/’upright of God’ — Jeshurun),
the rugged places a plain.

That was more background than I intended!

“Like the seizing of plunder” כשופ השסה

One final note about the word for plunder שסה. It is a more common word than ‘shuph’ שופ. It is used several times in the book of Isaiah. Importantly, once it is spelled as ששה instead of שסה, in Isaiah 10:13. The switching of the letters for “s’ from ס to ש is fairly common, for they both can have the same sound. In other words, השסה can also be spelled as הששה. Thus, the word reads forward and backward the same. (We touch on the “sh’ or ‘s’ in ש later.)

הששה is an insignificant point out of context — but in context is huge.

Now for the main code.

The nine-letter palindrome

The second half of Isaiah 40:4 contains an eight-letter palindrome — however, it is nine letters long when the whole code is cracked using the key.

Recall that the previous post (‘coincidentally’) was about the numeric palindrome — just four numbers long: 02-02-2020.

But here we have a palindrome eight letters long!  And it is much harder on average to have one letter repeat itself in reverse order randomly than it is for this to happen randomly with a digit between one and ten.

See, www.sttmedia.com/characterfrequency-hebrew

By analogy, to have eight (or nine) letters in a row found in reverse within just four Hebrew words is like having your phone number with area code of your cell phone and house phone having opposite digits like this: Your house phone is 012-345-6789 and your cell ‘coincidentally’ is the reverse, that is, 987-654-3210.

The odds of having two phone numbers randomly like this are about one in a billion, (10^9). But the full nine-letter palindrome is much harder than even this, about one in a trillion, (10^12).

Thus, it’s very likely a code.

But what the palindrome reads and the image it produces prove this beyond any reasonable doubt.

Now to the fun part!

The key to the riddle is right where you would expect it!

There is a verse in the Bible that whenever I read it always reminds me of the Picture Codes encoded with the Bible. (I spent about ten years studying and explaining them within about 400 articles.)

It pleased the Lord

for the sake of his righteousness

to make his law great and glorious. (Isaiah 42:21)

I will tell you what the double-sided key is first (Isaiah 42:22) and then return to the locked-code at Isa. 40:4. The context of the verse is important so I have included it below.

Israel Blind and Deaf (Isa. 42)

As it turns out, there is someone who can restore “the plunder” השסה (loot) and says “Reverse direction”! השב (“Send them back!”).

Indeed, the Lord has made the Bible (Torah) “great and glorious”. (The “law”, Torah, was given to Moses on Pentecost according to tradition, that is, the 7 x 7 days from the barley harvest, that is, “the 50th day”, Lev. 23:15-16. Recall the “7 x 7” and “50” letters in Isa. 40:4.)

What I am about to reveal is holy — most holy and wonderful to behold.

May the lazy stop now, but the diligent read on.

Back to Isaiah 40:4

Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.

Below is the entire verse of Isaiah 40:4 in the original Hebrew. First I have laid it out to show that every seven letters spell כשופ השסה.

כָּל גֶּיא יִנָּשֵׂא וְכָל־הַר וְגִבְעָה יִשְׁפָּלוּ וְהָיָה הֶֽעָקֹב לְמִישֹׁור וְהָרְכָסִים לְבִקְעָֽה

Below are the same letters, but with emphasis on the second half, that is, ” הֶֽעָקֹב לְמִישֹׁור וְהָרְכָסִימִ לְבִקְעָֽה“.

(Some Hebrew letters are shaped differently when found at the end of a word. To avoid confusion, here they look the same. Ignore the dots and dashes because they are not letters. Hebrew reads from left to right.)

כָּל גֶּיא יִנָּשֵׂא וְכָל־הַר וְגִבְעָה יִשְׁפָּלוּ וְהָיָה הֶֽעָקֹב לְמִישֹׁור וְהָרְכָסִימִ לְבִקְעָֽה

Take a closer look at those letters, recalling that in Isaiah, ה-ש-ס–ה can also be spelled ה-ש-ש–ה.

הֶֽ–עָ–קֹ–ב–לְ–מִ–י–שֹׁ   ורוְהָרְכָ   סִ–י–מִ–לְ–בִ–קְ–עָֽ–ה

Notice how the red letters read the same forward and backward.

I do not have time today to explain what it reads — and what it says is awesome. Instead, for now, I will jump to the punch line.

I will draw it for you soon, but what we have here is a road. The red road represents a “highway” that reverses direction. It also represents a mountain, with the letters in the middle a plateau.

The four corners (every seven letters) as said, spells, “the plunder” השסה. The same word from the key of Isa. 42:22.

But when the four letters that spoil a perfect nine-letter palindrome are removed, ווְהָכָ from  ורוְהָרְכָ, then the sequence of 22 letters reduces to 18, and now every seven letters from the start instead read: השב (Go back!), the same word and exact spelling as found in Isa. 42:22, “Restore!“

The rugged places made smooth

And what of the four letters removed?

The ווְהָכָ are the rough places in the code removed. It’s the rugged place upon the said mountain-plateau.

In ancient times, Hebrew letters were hieroglyphs. They were images of things that represent the sound of the letter. In ancient days, ו-וְ-הָ-כָ from left to right was an image of two upraised palms כָ,  a man with two hands raised up in praise giving God glory הָ, and the two vavs were supports instruments, like a hook or nail or pillar — something that holds up or suspends something ו-וְ.  Moreover, two vavs together are how you spell “nail” or ” hook” in Hebrew וו. 

What do you see on top of the Rugged Hill formed by the four letters?

A man with hands raised up and a nail driven into each palm! It’s a prophecy about how God would be glorified by the death of His Son.

But the picture requires one vav ו to be placed on the opposite side so that a nail suspends each hand either side, like this: ו ה כ ו , which happens to spell, “And smite”, or “And he smote him”, and so on!

These four letters represent the “rugged places”, that which does not fit the pattern. And once the rugged places are removed (forming the cross), the “plunder” is restored”. Because then, and only then, can the command be given: “Return the captives! (Isa. 42:22)

But it took the cross to flatten the mountain and removed the ruggedness of Jacob to be made smooth again — like his skin.

The interpretation is sound because it’s the same interpretation that I have been saying a hundred times the past couple of years — before this “Head over Heels” code was found!

Why “Head over Heels”?

Because those are the two shapes formed, and it also reads as much.
A heel crushing the head of a mountain.

But that will be explained later, Lord willing.

“(Folded) double for all your sins” (Isa. 40:1)

One last thing: when the four letters are removed to demonstrate Christ crucified, then there remain 18 letters,  (i.e., 6 + 6 + 6 letters are two sides of the mountain, plus the plateau).

All 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet also designates a number, called gematria. The 18 letters add up to 1274, which is 3.5 years on the Enoch calendar – -the equivalent of 1260, (Daniel 9:24-27).

The two chapters before Isaiah 40 are about the healing of Hezekiah when the sundial “went backward” as a sign. And then chapter 39 is about the Babylonians that came to see Hezekiah because of the sign. Hezekiah showed them all his treasures. In response, Isaiah told Hezekiah that it will all be plundered by Babylon, as will these codes.

Thus, time went backward in chapter 38.

Because of this, Jerusalem will be plundered (chapter 39).

May the Lord open your eyes to see His glory! (Isaiah 6)

Clearer presentation with illustrations coming soon, the Lord willing

From the Balance Bible Code (Isa. 46:1-6)

In the Head over Heels code, both sides of the mountain read “The heel belongs to whom?”  העקב למי. But the word order is backward — readable, but backward. So I asked myself, “Why?”

I assumed, therefore, that the code draws attention to the word למי “To whom?”

As it turns out, that word is used but once in Isaiah. It is located at Isaiah 46:6.

I talk about it already in the Balance Bible Code from 15 years ago! It crosses the spot where Joshua crossed the Jordan river, and Jacob the Jabbok river.

Moreover, למי “To whom?” begins the key phrase that forms the feet/base of the lamp/tree., ” למי תדמיוני“, “To whom will you compare me to?” (The code compares Jesus to many things, such as the lamp, mountain, river, balance, tree, etc.)

“Listen to me (Hear me שִׁמְעוּ), you descendants of Jacob
    and all וְכָל the remnant of the people of Israel יִשְׂרָאֵל,
you whom I have upheld from מִנִּי your womb,
    and have carried from מִנִּי when you were born.
Even to your old age and gray hairs
    I  am אֲנִי he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I אֲנִי will carry you;
    I will sustain you and I will rescue you. (Isaiah 46:3-4)

The codes are an integrated unit. They directly connect to one another. So the “Head over Heels” code is explained in the Balance Bible Code, and visa versa.

Like the burning bush, there is no end — so I will just stop here!

 

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. (Romans 16:20)
