Harlot of Babel Number summarizes all Mysteries, Unreal

**Harlot of Babel Number summarizes all Mysteries, Unreal **

Don’t believe me? Babel had a tower. Jesus said the Tower of Siloam fell on 18 persons and they all perished. What is astounding is that 18, numerically, relates to all mysteries of a fallen world’s history according to my theology.

Here is the summary:

8 total greater ages of human history, each age part darkness, then part light.

8 nights, 8 mornings. The first night is like the last, same for morning (Noah’s day, day of Son of Man). The number 18 breaks up 1 and 8 by base 10. 10 is a Biblical symbol of the world, or worldliness, hence, worldliness causes human history to broken up into eight stages.

The nature of the greater ages is 5 in OT, 3 in New. The 5 OT ages have a partition: 2 Preeminent stages for the fall, then 3 stages for way of saint in Jewish People (the Church’s 3 are the same thing relative to them.) Hence, the total ages are:

2 + 3 + 3 :

If replace plus with times, we get:

233 = 18

That takes care of greater ages.

Now for the Church’s depth. There is Ecclesiology of TRUTH and Ecclesiology of GRACE.

Start with Truth:

Five sources of Catholic truth form the foundation for what divides the Church from various religious classes (or lack thereof), and they have formed this discord precisely in this order:

Trinity and Incarnation Mystery
Supreme Apostolic Successor, Peter
General Apostolic Succession and their Oral Word of God, Tradition
Written Tradition, or Scripture
Reason, or mere Natural Philosophy

These five pivotal points of Church doctrinal development history perfectly partition the light of her development in these same last 1700 years. By them, She has had to LABOR against heretics, etc, who have attacked them.

Too, in the parable of the laborers, they are sent or called at five times in the day. Here are the delineations by the parable, where each number refers to the hour of the day, 12 hours in a day:

0 (Dawn)
3
6
9
11
12 (Sunset)

This breaks the interval up into the following partitions:

3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 :

regrouping:

(3*3) + 2 + 1 :​

Now replace the pluses with times:

332*1 = 18

Finally, the Ecclesiology of GRACE:

In the Roman Rite, the Deacon is remade, or saved by GRACE, according to following chronology of Sacramental Life:

Born Naturally

Baptized, born Supernaturally

Confesses
Eucharist
Confirmed

Married

Holy Orders
Anointing of Sick

Dies Naturally, born forever into eternal life

In terms of Ecclesiology, a Sacrament either requires a priest or it doesn’t.

In ANY Sacrament, God and the Recipient are ALWAYS necessary, hence, at least two Persons are needed for every Sacrament. And when a priest is needed also, that is three. If it is NOT a Sacrament, only God is involved, and that, above, are the end points: natural birth, natural death, and so, again, One Person, God.

Hence, updating the list above, and remembering that of the seven sacraments, only Baptism and Marriage don’t require a priest, we have:

Born Naturally, 1 Person

Baptism, 2 Persons

Confesses, 3 Persons
Eucharist, 3 Persons
Confirmed, 3 Persons

Married, 2 Persons

Holy Orders, 3 Persons
Anointing of Sick, 3 Persons

Dies, 1 Person

Hence, the above delineation is, in terms of Person Count:

1 + 2 + 33 + 2 + 32 + 1 :​

The first thing to note is that every addition term above is a factor of 18:

1, 2, 9, 6

Also, if all addition is fully spread out and not consolidated, only prime factors of 18 or 1, the special factor of every number, is present. Also, whether consolidated or spread out, all factors of 18 can be found. So it is an if and only if relationship.

finally, what is the sum?

1 + 2 + 9 + 2 + 6 +1 :

= 21

A digression, regarding the 153 fish caught by the disciples on an Easter Season morning, St Augustine comments:

153 = 17 * 18 / 2

noting that from induction, the formula:

1 + 2 + … + n = n*(n+1) / 2

Hence, 153 = 1 + 2 +… 17

St Augustine comments: 17 = 7 + 10, and there are 7 Sacraments, 10 commandments, hence, his conclusion: GRACE [7 Sacraments] and practice of the intrinsic moral law [Commandments] perfects nature.

Now, returning to our Sacrament Person sum above, which mathematically expresses the theology of ecclesiological grace in the Roman Church, 21 is actually:

21 = 6 * 7 / 2

that is 6 (6 + 1) / 2

or

1 + 2 + … + 6 :

6 is the number of very imperfect man, in apocalypse (666), hence, FALLEN or IMPERFECT man, is perfected or sanctified by the Catholic Sacraments

 

[Gorgias]

In the Roman Rite, the Deacon is remade, or saved by GRACE, according to following chronology of Sacramental Life:

Married

Married, 2 Persons

Hence, the above delineation is, in terms of Person Count:

1 + 2 + 33 + 2 + 32 + 1

Deacons don’t have to be married; there are many unmarried permanent deacons. Take away that sacrament, and this part of your assertion falls flat.

didn’t say they have to, but they can. I am setting someone who is able to get all seven sacraments. Could be a priest, too, same thing. Duh

No, a priest cannot get all seven sacraments, in general. (There are exceptions, of course, and a widower can be ordained a priest, but still…) the most common case is that a Catholic priest only receives six sacraments during the course of his life. Duh.

Yes, a priest can recieve all the sacraments. It isn’t an exception for priests to get married. It is strictly a roman tradition that they can’t get married. The unmarried priesthood has no precedence over the married priesthood.

That said, numerology means nothing within Catholic theology.

I don’t recall Jesus ever using the number 18 for any purpose. I would like to see the reference.

You’re confusing me here – I suspect that you’re either speaking casually or are in error. It’s not “just a Roman tradition” that priests cannot marry; that is the standard in the Catholic (and Orthodox) Church! A man who has entered the clerical state cannot marry … period. Rather, the exception (in the Latin Church) is that married men typically cannot become priests, whereas in the Orthodox and some Eastern Catholic Churches, this is a possibility.

The unmarried priesthood has no precedence over the married priesthood.

I’m not certain what you mean by “has no precedence”; but, in the Latin Church, it is certainly the norm!

 

[bsroufek]

Numerology is the source many fallacies and errors and false conclusions.

In general, a man who is married can possible become a priest, but a priest is generally not allowed to get married after ordination.

There may be exceptions to this in some of the Eastern Rites.

This is just an aside though, as your problems begin with numerology.

It may be the standard in the west, but not in the east, whether Catholic or Orthodox. Celibacy is another way, not the way. It is not the standard.
