40 and Torah, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Water

written by Will Schumaker

Each letter in the Hebrew alphabet has a meaning. Each letter also has a gematria tied to that letter. The meaning of the letter also is tied to the gematria number assigned to it.

An easy example is the 12th letter, lamed. It means to teach and has a gematria of 30. Jesus began His ministry at age 30. A priest had to be 30 to perform his duties. 30 was the age one had to attain to in order to teach.

Numbers 4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

This post is about the 13th letter, mem, and its gematria of 40.

The letter mem symbolizes water and the sea of torah, knowledge and wisdom.

In my previous post I stated Torah = Jesus = Water.

Although Jesus is hidden throughout the 39 old testament books, He is born into the world in book 40 of the bible. So Jesus is manifest in book 40 and 40 is tied to torah.

In book 40 Jesus says He came to fully show us what Torah is.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Recall Torah is a “Tree of Life”.

Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

This is verse 40-the first mention of the tree of life.

Geesisn 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil

So Jesus=40=tree of life=torah=water.

The 40th chapter of the Bible is about Joseph interpreting the dream for the butler and the baker. The butler is restored to his position after 3 days and the baker is not after 3 days. This is seen by many as symbolic of the work of Christ on the cross for 3 days. What is it about the butler and his restoration?

Butler is H8248= שקה shaqah {shaw-kaw'} a primitive root; TWOT - 2452; v AV - drink 43, water 17, butler 9, cupbearer 3, misc 1; 74 1) to give to drink, irrigate, drink, water, cause to drink water 1a) (Hiphil) 1a1) to water, irrigate 1a2) to water, give drink to 1b) (Pual) to be watered 1c) (Niphal) variant

The butler is the one who gives the water-or torah.

Recall Jesus made the Torah sweet again.

Exodus 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

Jesus of course calls wants to give us living water.

Jonh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

The Father calls Himself the fountain of living waters.

Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water

Jesus was tested for 40 days and he defended Himself with the Torah.

Moses came down from the mount with the 10 commandments after 40 days.

Jonah preached for 40 days.

A flood of waters came down for 40 days and nights. Those waters lifted up the ark.

Isaac married Rebekah at 40 years old.

Rebekah met the servant at a well of course signifying the torah.

The first verse with a word with a gematria of 40 according to bible wheel is

Genesis 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

The second verse with a word with a gematria of 40 is

Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

Isaac, the promised seed by faith, and not by works, Ishmael, is tied to the number 40.

The Israelites wandered in the wilderness 40 yrs. Moses, symbolic of torah, was not allowed to lead them over into the promised land. Joshua a type of Christ and Torah led them over. What is the difference, they are both torah?

Moses was a picture of us trying to follow the torah and fulfill the requirement on our own. Jesus showed us following torah is about the heart and became our righteousness for us. We have crossed over into the promised land and have been given the Holy Spirit and now we should be the light and follow torah with the strength of the Holy Spirit.

G40=holy

The tree of life is guarded by the Cherubim with the flaming sword. The Cherubim is the Holy Spirit and the flaming sword is the sword of the spirit or the word of God.

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

This is a picture of us being convicted by the Holy Spirit through the word of God and attaining eternal life

The first time G5204 water is mentioned in the 40th book is

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

John is baptizing with water, torah.

Strong’s G40 = Holy

The Holy Spirit or Cherubim is guarding the tree of life

Fire is the word of God or Torah

Jeremiah 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

Jesus is baptizing us with the Cherubim holding the flaming sword
