Whereas God's Law sees beyond this to see the potential in each and everyone of us, redeemed by Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the Cross, if we are among those whosoever believe in Him. (John 3:16).
Amen and amen. I was pretty sure that that was what you meant. I just wanted to hear it from you. The difference is all in the adjectives, man's vs God's Law. Or even man's perception of God's Law, i. e., what is the spirit of the Law. I appreciate your wisdom and perception.

And yes, I, too, found VDT inspiring, though to be quite frank the only numbers I feel comfortable with are the intricate workings of the Dewey Decimal Classification system, including 220, the DDC number for the Bible.
The Spirit moves in mysterious ways. I did not know that about the Bible. The letter T is the 20th letter. Its standard value is 200. When you combine the ordinal and standard values, you get 220. Our electric poles outside our homes, in the shape of the cross or T, bring in 220 volts of power. There are 92 words in the Bible that = 220. 86 (# of God) in Hebrew and 6 (# of man) in Greek. The first word is "ruwach", the "Spirit" of God in Genesis 1:2. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The last is αποδεικνυμι apodeiknumi {ap-od-ike'-noo-mee} from 575 and 1166;; v AV - approve 1, prove 1, set forth 1, show 1; 4 1) to point away from one's self, to point out, show forth, to expose to view, exhibit 2) to declare, to show, to prove what kind of person anyone is, to prove by arguments, demonstrate - found in 1 Cor 4:9
Now "look" at me with a straight face and tell me this is all a coincidence. I agree with you. The Bible is all about the "power" of the cross, and all I'm trying to do by sharing the numbers is to help instill a greater sense of awe in the Word of God. " Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil." Psalm 119:161-162
PS - Took a Benadryl for my sneezing attack and went to bed after midnight. Benadryl normally knocks me out, but something woke me up at 2:20 AM. I laid there for a few minutes, but knew I had to find the answer to the question. I poured over my notes from the last few weeks. This is what I found. Bronze + Star + Rhindon = 220 in the ordinal value. But what is amazing is that "Rock" in the combined or exalted value = 220. There are 24 (8+8+8) verses in Psalms that contain the word "rock". David chose 5 smooth stones out of the brook as he went out to slay Goliath. He only needed the 1st. The 1st verse with rock. Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." Aslan = 182 (SV) The 5th verse with rock. Psalm 28:1 "[A Psalm of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." 281 is the reflection of 182. The last word that = 281 in the Bible is "Lamb" Rev 5:6 " And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." There are 182 letters in that verse in the original Greek.
Mat 7:24 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"
Mat 16:18 "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." Peter is petros. Rock is petra.
Dan 2:34 "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces." In the NIV, the word is Rock. In verse 45, it says it is cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands.
The "Rock" is Jesus, the word of God personified. Rock (OV) = 47. Aslan (OV) = 47. 47 is the reflection of 74 = the OV of "Jesus". Rock (SV) = 173." Open my eyes!" = 173 [Ps 119.18] " I am the LORD your God" = 173 [Ex 20.2] Rock in the combined value (exalted) = 47+173 = 220.
Again, I say, tell me this is all a coincidence.
