With a little ingenuity and a lot of imagination you can make numbers fit any scheme you like, but they don't signify anything other than the fact you have an active imagination.
Odd that if they want to get a correspondence between M and N being the middle letters in the English and Greek alphabet and 'son of man', it only works with the English translation 'son of man' whose middle letters are actually 'o' and 'f'.But in the Holy Bible the correspondences are also prevelent in it's letters, as well as in it's numbers. Here is just an example below. I didn't use my imagination to construct this.
Well, if you are "sure of it" then it's time to put your proof where your pen is. Go ahead and show me a scheme of any significance using Biblical numbers or letters. Make up something with your own imagination.
You cannot. This is because these Biblical schemes are already in the Bibles's verses and chapters and ideas. The Holy Bible is designed by God and no man can improvise similar sequences or correspondences like the ones in it.
Go ahead all those who say it is just a coincidence. Where are the amazing schemes from your imaginations? They are not nor ever will be. God is great!
Well actually going back to the Hebrew rather than diddling around in English, we can actually make some profound statements, Torah actually starts with Beth, rather than Aleph, this can conjure up ideas that Aleph is a sacred letter. but actually is used in the midrash as discussion over whether or not what is recorded is the Beginning, in fact even from my limited knowledge of Kabbalah the very fact that they base their esoteric thought on Hebrew linguistics, alphabet and appointing special meaning to that is more valid than your symbolism and I largely dismiss Kabbalah because it describes itself as magic
I have already shown you how the compass directions you used to get six by adding up and down, were used by the early church, without adding the up and down, to get four symbolising the four gospels. I have shown you how you can turn your four compass directions + up and down into three dimensions and claim it symbolises the trinity. You can take these three dimensions and add Einstein's time to get four dimensions, amazingly the same number as the four gospels again proving Irenaeus was right all along.Well, if you are "sure of it" then it's time to put your proof where your pen is.

Wouldn't that mean each new day begins at dawn? In the bible, doesn't each new day begin in the evening? That is when the Sabbath begins.There's actually an error here I'd like to point out. The phrase "there was evening and there was morning," actually conveys that the day preceded night, not the other way around. Think about it? What does evening mean? Nighttime? No, it actually is a description of the beginning of nighttime or more accurately, the end of daytime. We also use the term dusk. And what is morning? You guessed it, it is the end of the night. We also use the term dawn.
Therefore we can clearly see why evening (dusk) is mentioned first, as it would logically follow the first day, turning into night for the first time. Dawn is then mentioned to let us know the first night subsequently also ended.
Look at Genesis 1:3-5 again, with this better understanding of the terms used.
Gen. 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “daytime,” and the darkness he called “nighttime.” And daytime ended (dusk), and nighttime ended (dawn) — and that was our first day.
As I have said before, the bible does use number symbolically, but once you leave the symbolic numbers the bible uses and start making them up yourself, you are just, well, making them up yourself. The bible does speak of the cardinal points of the compass, but in terms of the number four, the four winds and the four corners of the earth. There is no basis in scripture to add up and down to get the number six and more than there is to turn them into three dimensions to get the symbolic number six. The bible never say the history of the earth is six thousand years, though people have read that into the days of Genesis. And while Jesus' crucifixion is the the most important even in the history of the universe, the idea of dividing history into BC and AD was the brainchild of a sixth century monk Dionysius Exiguus, it is not an idea you find in the bible. And given that you are trying to tie it in with a mistranslation of the Hebrew word Messiah as Gree for middle, the whole idea is bogus.No, fortunally the Bible shows us the meaning of the number "6" by using six days to complete Genesis creation. It was God's creation of this entire world and this world has six directions and not only four. East, West, North, South, Up, Down.
In Revelations also a full "six seals" are presented to be the entirety of our historical phenomena. Then there are six angels which minister unto the earth or world. But in each case the seventh Angel is outside and beyond the world. The seventh always represents "completion, it is done, it is finished, ect.
And Jesus Christ is the "center" of our Christian Calendar. All the years before him are called "before Christ." Obviously the years which are not before him must be after him. He is the middle of history as demonstrated to us on the world wide used Calendar of today. Today everybody is counting the years by Jesus!
As for the six direction also being correspondent to the six dimensions of material reality in this world here is are charts that show this. Six is the number of this world and of all material substance. The civilization which began with Adam in 4000BC has now gone through "six millenniums." Therefore we are today entering the 7th Millennium which is described in both Matt.19;28 and Rev.20;4,6
No, this isn't correct at all. The evening is the beginning of the nightime, and the dawn is the beginning of the daylight. Dusk is verified to have commensed when some darkness is noticed in the sky. And the "dawn" is certainly not regarded as the last bit of darkness. The dawn is regarded as the "first bit of light." Dawn is the beginning of the light of day. We say "a new day is dawning."
I'm fairly certain I'm right on this one. We can make a bet and you can pay up in heaven.

Evening
The period following sunset with which the Jewish day began Gen. 1:5; Mark 13:35 The Hebrews reckoned two evenings of each day, as appears from Ex. 16:12; 30:8; 12:6 (marg.); Lev. 23:5 (marg. R.V., between the two evenings). The first evening was that period when the sun was verging towards setting, and the second evening the moment of actual sunset. The word evenings in Jer. 5:6 should be deserts (marg. R.V.).
It's interesting how the ancient hebrews had 2 evenings, just prior to sunset and at sunset. But night, of course, starts after sunset, in fact quite a bit of time after sunset.
But I would appeal more to the plain language of the text. It's very obvious that if God created the light and called it day, this would be followed by Evening, which the hebrews understood to be the close of the day.
I won't be too dogmatic about this, but I do like my explanation better.
What really convinced me is the fact that the day was already there, when evening (dusk) is first mentioned. It follows so logically.
Gen. 1:5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
To paraphrase: God named the light daytime, and named the darkness nighttime. Then the daytime came to an end, then the nighttime came to an end. And that made up the very first day.
The meaning just seems to fall of the passage.
