Temple of Yeshua
"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with G-d after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with G-d: and he was not; for G-d took him. And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the L-RD hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
Enoch was the seventh; Methuselah the eighth; Lamech the ninth; and Noah the tenth from Adam, in the undefiled bloodline.
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the L-rd cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
If seven is the number of perfection, then Enoch is the typology of Yeshua. He was "taken up" as a typological forerunner of Yeshua. Of Yeshua it is foretold:
"The right hand of the L-RD is exalted: the right hand of the L-RD doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the L-RD. The L-RD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the L-RD: This gate of the L-RD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the L-RD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes."
The typology of Enoch, as the seventh, is therefore Yeshua. Methuselah then, being the eighth, is the typology of the New Temple. Eight is the number of new beginnings. The New Temple of G-d was hidden from the ancients until Yeshua revealed it in the New Testament. Yeshua is the Chief Cornerstone of the New Temple of G-d:
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of G-d; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the L-rd: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of G-d through the Spirit."
As is noted here, in the word of truth, we are the New Temple of G-d, and Yeshua is the Chief Cornerstone; and the foundation is laid upon the apostles and prophets. But a building has no "chief cornerstone" except for one type: a building that is pyramidal in shape is the only type of structure with a "chief" cornerstone, (at the top). This means that the foundation is the base of a pyramidal shaped structure and its top stone is the apex-chief-cornerstone. The structure of the New Temple of G-d is pyramidal in nature, with Yeshua as both the foundation and the top-capstone.
"Wherefore hear the word of the L-RD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Therefore thus saith the L-rd G-D, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
And so the builders rejected the Chief Cornerstone, Yeshua; as foretold in the verses of Isaiah quoted above. Peter spoke through the Holy Ghost proclaiming the fulfillment of this portion of Isaiah 28 in the book of the Acts:
"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom G-d raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
But not to worry... The hardness of heart and blindness of Israel is only temporary; as is shown by the typology of Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. Enoch represents Yeshua who rose up into heaven: Methuselah and Lamech are the eighth and ninth: the two epochs of the New Temple age, and Noah being the tenth is thus the typology of Israel in the very end of the age. Now as for the New Temple: Yeshua founded it by calling the first 12:
"And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of G-d, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O L-rd. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him."
And also:
"And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
And so Yeshua told Peter that he would hence forth "catch men" rather than remain a fisherman of the world. This is the foundational institution of what would later become the New Temple of G-d. The truth that Christ was, and is, the son of the living G-d would become the foundational rock upon which the New Temple would be built:
"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living G-d. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
So then, when Peter went on his final worldly fishing trip, (after the resurrection of Yeshua,) his final outing was once again a dismal failure until Yeshua appeared on the scene. Once again they had fished all night long and caught nothing, until Christ told them where to cast one last time. And in doing so, we read this curious statement from the Holy Spirit:
"Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken."
Why then, is it explicitly stated to be "153" fishes? This is a thing that has been debated, examined, and supposedly explained many times over but always with an answer riddled with many more questions than true answers. In all the numerological and mathematical equations imaginable, and supposed spiritual connotative insights; I have yet to hear anyone state what is the true case regardless of how it affects our theology. The facts are that there is to be a New Temple; its foundation is to be built on the apostles and prophets; Yeshua, the son of the living G-d, is the basis for that foundation; and Peter was to be used in the founding of this New Temple of Yeshua. Now when Peter finally ended his worldly fishing trips, and listened to Yeshua, his huge catch of great fishes was 153; and he is now to be a "fisher of men."
153 = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17, or sum(17).
17 is what is called a "triangular number." If you add the numbers 1 through 17 to each other you get 153. This is what is known as the ancient "pebble count" way of counting. In much a similar way it is possible that the mark of the beast may be counted in any language. Thus, the name could likely be 36 letters no matter what the language: sum(36)=666. For a further discussion on "six hundred, sixty and six," pertaining also to "the Miqdash temple of a man," (Ezekiel 40-48,) see: 2300 Days.
Because 17 is a triangular number, sum(17) which adds up to 153, may be displayed in the ancient pebble count as a triangle with sides of 17 containing a total of 153 "pebbles" as thus:
Therefore with this number, 1656, only the Hebrew Masoretic text is correct, for we know that 276 carries an ominous denotation throughout scripture:
276 x 6 = 1656 The Year of the Flood.
So then, 153 represents the base of the Temple of Yeshua; the Temple is pyramidal in shape; and the Chief Cornerstone, or "Capstone," is Yeshua. However, (as many of the pyramidologists have wrongly asserted,) the New Temple is not a pyramid, though it is pyramidal in nature: It is a tetrahedron with a triangular base.
This is the equilateral tetrahedron which represents the New Jerusalem Temple of G-d:
"The 17, 153, 969 Qodesh-Temple of Yeshua."

But now comes the hard truth to digest, the part that may not fit the current theology, the sweetness of honey in your mouth turned bitter in your stomach: Methuselah died in the very same year that the flood came upon the world, not because of the flood; but the flood came after he died in that very same year. The prophesied judgment of G-d came upon the world when Methuselah died as was foretold by the meaning of his name. If Enoch represents Yeshua, risen up into heaven during the "church age" of Methuselah and Lamech: if Methuselah died the same year that G-d judged the world for its evil, what does it mean for us? What does it mean for the Last Days Temple of Yeshua? It is very simple: it is all in the name Methuselah: "When I die, then it comes." This is why Lamech lived 777 years; he represents the end of the second epoch, or "day," the "end of the age" in the days of Noah. "As in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man."
Hosea 6:1-2
"Come, and let us return unto the L-RD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
So then, if Methuselah is the typology of the New Temple then it says to us: "When we die, the judgment of G-d comes upon this evil world." The prophesied judgment comes when the New Temple of Yeshua is taken out of the way, and I do not mean the rapture. Very soon is this scripture fulfilled:
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of G-d, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O L-rd, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"
Notice this is the Fifth Seal? Yet the judgment of G-d, upon this wicked world, has not yet occurred? What is the answer? What does Methuselah teach us? The wrath of G-d does not come until the time and number of the elect Temple of Yeshua have come home:
"And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."
And when the wrath of G-d is finally poured out upon the wickedness of mankind? We will be the testimony against them! It can be no other way. WE are the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony of Jesus Christ. Those who will soon overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony, will also be the ones who testify against the world for its evil, its murders, its devil worship, idol worship, its adulteries, and lies against G-d and His children.
Revelation 15:1-7
1) "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of G-d.
2) And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of G-d.
3) And they sing the song of Moses the servant of G-d, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, L-rd G-d Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4) Who shall not fear thee, O L-rd, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5) And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6) And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7) And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of G-d, who liveth for ever and ever."
Maybe..... just maybe.... at this last great hour... If we repent and turn away from our sins and this wicked world, maybe we might be found worthy to suffer for His Name. But once the door slams shut; grace is no more, and vengeance cometh with a vengeance. Yea, let those who will overcome understand the prophecy of Methu-Selah.
And I saw no temple therein: for the L-rd G-d Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev. 21:16
16) And the city lieth tetragonos, 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.
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.
If the base is an equilateral triangle then its linear sides are:
12,000 + 12,000 + 12,000 = 36,000 (6 x 6 = 36).
Sum(36) = 666 (The Ezekiel 666 "Temple of A Man").
There are four equal, planal, sides of the equilateral tetrahedron, (equal to, and including the equilateral-triangular-base side,) and each of the four planal sides shares one linear edge with each of the three other "tribe-sides" of the tetrahedron.
4 x 36,000 = 144,000
The 144,000 are the "First-Fruits," which in the Greek means "the beginning of sacrifice," (Strong's #536 aparche'). This is because they are the "tamiyd" lambs of Daniel Ch. 8 which are sacrificed during the "2300 evening-morning" prophecy.
2300 "evening-morning" = 1150 Days.
11.50 x 144 = 1656: The Timing of the Flood, (destruction,) given in Genesis.
1150 x 144,000 = 1656(000000)
The 144,000 are the beginning of the salvation of ALL Israel and of the Holy City New Jerusalem that later comes down out of Heaven adorned as the bride of the Lamb in Revelation 21. Yeshua said unto the Pharisees: "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." We shall all be one in Yeshua, 12 Tribes, 12 Apostles:
Rev. 21:22-23 KJV
22) And I saw no temple therein: for the L-rd G-d Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of G-d did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Are you one of these? Learn the song of Deborah and Barak, (Judges 5,) for the time is short, and Sisera, is Haman, is captain of the host of the evil ones. And the War in Heaven is fought by the stars of heaven, and a third of the stars are hurled down by the tail of the dragon. "For they fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
Isaiah 9:15 KJV
15. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Yet they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And they shall overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they love not their lives unto the death, in the time when the tamiyd-man-child is caught up to Heaven.
the numbers 23, 2300, and the "odious" number 276 are prominent in the final Holy City-Temple. The numbers 6, 276, and 1656 then, are not inherently evil, (as many Biblical numerologists are want to suggest,) but more likely these numbers signify creation and death in the world of the flesh-temple. All of the 'sum' number totals of the numbers up to, and including, sum(23) add up to 2300. Sum(23) = 276
