| David Jay Jordan Sacred Mile, Sacred Measure The earliest form of measure was the mile because it correlates to the rest of the Lord’s Creation. So we really can’t call it the English mile because it’s origins were long before the English Empire arose. For even in Greece, the ancients Greeks modeled their Parthenon after the foot, which is the basis for a mile. (SEE Parthenon) And going back even further into history the span of 9 inches (finger to thumb) and cubit of 18 inches (finger to elbow) of the Hebrews came from the Lord in the very beginning called Genesis. And so inches are a basic of a foot which are the basis for a mile, and they are all a measure from the Lord Why, because the Lord is the Creator, and as the Great Architect, He has his absolute standards and measure. As measure comes from the word ‘mer’ which means water and plowing in Egyptian. Why, the connection because when the Nile flooded, the farmers lands were inundated and they had to determine what was their boundaries for plowing. And hence, the Lord has boundaries and measures just as He puts the sand as a boundary for the sea, not to pass over. (Jeremiah 5: 22). And He requires us to plow our land For similarly even His sacred measure of the acre, is the amount of land, a man and a oxen can plow in a day. For we are suppose break up our fallow ground physically as well as spiritually. (Jeremiah 4: 3, Hosea 10: 12) so we can be fruitful and multiply, which was the very First commandment. And ten acres make up a square furlong, and a furlong was the sacred distance of the ‘golden reed’ of the angel in Revelation 21. So let’s read it for a better understanding Rev 21:15 And he (the angel) that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And therefore, we can see that the Lord even measures His Temple, New Jerusalem with the sacred furlong measure. A furlong being 660 feet in length, while He measures His wall with the cubit and its 1.5 feet or 18 inches …. 440 cubits making a furlong. (SEE 440 co-relations with 108,109,110 Hertz) And so how many furlongs does it take to make a mile. EIGHT. And 660 feet times 8 = 5280 feet which is one MILE. And this is not by chance but by design, because it relates to the Lord's “Chessboard of Life and Mathematics” In other words, an eight by eight playing field or chessboard, is 8 x 8, or 64 squares. And if each square is a square furlong, then the whole Board is a 'Sacred Square Mile'. (SEE Chessboard of Life and mathematics’ and Grail Mysteries) So the arbitrary mile and the foot are not so arbitrary. But let’s prove their co-relations to the whole design of the Earth to prove even further mathematically that the mile is ‘sacred’ and ‘divinely created’. So taking the measures of 9” = span 1 acre = 1/640 of a square mile 12” = foot = 43,560 square ‘ 18” = cubit = 160 square rods 198” = pole = 16.5’ = 11 cubits = 10 sq. chains 7920” = furlong = 660’ = 1 sacred reed = 1/10th of a square furlong 63360” = mile = 5280’ = 8 furlongs 1 square mile = 64 square furlongs Earth’s Diameter 7,920 miles = 63,360 furlongs In terms of ratio’s that we can understand an INCH is to a Mile what a FURLONG is to the EARTH. In other words we know how long our digit length is and so we can understand how that relates to a mile, and similarly, we know how far a furlong is, if we have walked it enough, or plowed enough and so can comprehend how big the Earth itself is, as we are related to the Earth, because we have a Common Creator. Are you catching it ? So no wonder the angel said that the furlong was “according to the measure of a man (the earth) that is, of the angel (heaven). Continue to ..... PART TWO of the Sacred Mile |
