The Nails in His Hands
In the New Testament, the word “nails” (plural)
appears in only one verse: John 20:25.
In this verse, all of the disciples have seen the risen Lord, save Thomas.
“The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord.
but he said unto them, ‘Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my
hand into His side, I will not believe’.”
The name “Jesus” Ιησους (Iesous) has a standard value of 888
Remarkably, the Greek word translated “nails” ηλων (helos),
also has a standard value of 888!
In this one verse, the word “nails” appears twice, both within
the same phrase “the print of the nails”.
“The print of the nails” has a standard value of 3358
τον τυπον των ηλων
3358 x 2 = 6712
In the Strong’s Concordance, H6712 is:
צחוק tsechoq {tsekh-oke'} meaning: laughingstock, laugh to scorn. . .
“And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him,
and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.”
Matthew 27:31
The phrase “the print” (τον τυπον) has a standard value of 1320, which is
the number of times the word “Theos” (θεος) “God” appears in the Bible (KJV).
1320 is also the standard value of 1 Kings 18:39 which says,
“And when all of the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said,
‘The LORD he is the God, The LORD he is the God’.”
The double usage of the phrase “the print” reminds me of
the phrase “express image” found in Hebrews 1:3. . .
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself
purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person”
ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ

Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”

From the time that this Man (Jesus) began to preach, and to say,
“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”
unto the day they put the nails in His hands,
there is a warning of a day of darkness which is to come.
Matthew 4:17 is verse # 23,227
Matthew 27:35 is verse # 24,165
24,165 - 23,227 = 938
The only verse in the Bible (KJV) with a standard value
of 938 is Amos 5:20, which says,
“Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness and not light?
Even very dark, and no brightness in it?”
הלא חשך יום יהוה ולא אור ואפל ולא נגה לו
So far, we have examined the evidence found in the New Testament
regarding the nails in His hands.
But is there evidence of the nails in the Old Testament?
And, if so, will it point to Jesus of Nazareth?
Ezra & Isaiah
There are three verses in the Old Testament where the word “nail”
is used to describe the coming Messiah.
Ezra 9:8, Isaiah 22:23 & 25
“And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God,
to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a NAIL in His holy place,
that our God may lighten our eyes and give us a little reviving in our bondage.”
Ezra 9:8
“And I will fasten Him as a NAIL in a sure place; and He shall be
for a glorious throne to His Father's house.”
Isaiah 22:23
“In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the NAIL that is fastened
in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall;
and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.”
Isaiah 22:25
Ezra 9:8 is verse number 12,246
Isaiah 22: 23 & 25 are verse numbers 18,076 & 18,078
12246 + 18076 + 18078 = 48,400
48 + 400 = 448
448 is the standard value of
“He that is True” (ο αληθινος) (Revelation 3:7)
448 = 7 x 64
64 is the standard value of “Truth” (αληθεια) (John 14:6)
This is interesting because Jesus is called the Word of Truth and
the phrase “The Alphabet” (האלפביח) [“Ha Aleph Beyt”]
has a standard value of 528,
which is the sum of the number of letters in the
Hebrew (22) and Greek (24) Alphabets when multiplied.
22 x 24 = 528
528 is also the standard value of “The Key” (מפתח)
from Isaiah 22:22, which says:
“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his (Jesus’) shoulder;
so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.”
“Lord Jesus Christ” has a standard value of 3168
3168 = 6 x 528
The Hebrew name for Jesus is “Yehoshua” (יהושע),
which has a Full Standard Value of 528
A holy and sure place. . .
“Holy place” (במקום קדשו) has a standard value of 602, while
“Sure place” (במקום נאמן) has a value of 329
602 + 329 = 931
931 is the standard value of
“Remnant” (שאריתך) (she'eriyth)
931 is also the standard value of Psalm 111:1, which says,
“Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.”
602 - 329 = 273
273 is the standard value of:
“From the Tree of Life” (מעץ החיים) (Genesis 3:22), and
“The Stone which the builders rejected”
(אבן מאסו הבונים) (Psalm 118:22)
The word “nail” in Hebrew “yathed” (יתד) has a standard value of 414
and is number H3489 in the Strong’s Concordance.
414 is the standard value of the following:
“Fountain of Life” (מקור חיים) (Psalm 36:9)
“My Holy One” (קדשי) (Habakkuk 1:12)
“Holy One” (קדיש) (H6922)
Beginning from position 3489 in pi are the three digits 346:
10 decimal digits of Pi starting from position 3,489: 3467110314
346 is the standard value of
“Fountain” (מקור) (Psalm 36:9)
“His Name” (שמו) (Psalm 23:3)

“For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light.”
The phrase “in thy light shall we see light” (בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר)
has a standard value of 692
As do the following:
“The Hope of Israel” (מקוה ישראל) (Jeremiah 17:13)
“I do a new thing” (עשה חדשה) (Isaiah 43:19)
In its first occurrence of pi, the number 3489 begins from position 8,173
The numeric string 3489 appears at the 8,173rd decimal digit of Pi.
6876871266034891390956200

8 + 173 = 181
181 is the standard value of the following:
“For I will be with thee” (כי אהיה עמך) (Exodus 3:12)
“All who thirst” (כל צמא) (Isaiah 55:1)
“Peace” (ειρηνη) (Revelation 1:4), and
“The Sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover”
(זבח חג הפסח) (Exodus 34:25)
3 x 181 = 543
543 = “I AM that I AM”
אהיה אשר אהיה
8 is the standard value of Ha’ab (האב) meaning “The Father”,
while 173 is the standard value of the following:
“Open My Eyes!” (גל עיני) (Psalm 119:18)
“I AM the LORD thy God” (אנכי יהוה אלהיך) (Exodus 20:2)
As well as. . .
“NAZARETH” (ναζαρεθ) (Matthew 21:11)
The sum of the three Old Testament verses Ezra 9:8, Isaiah 22:23 and 22:25
form the rays of the 48th Hexagonal Star Number.
(9 x 8) + (22 x 23) + (22 x 25) = 1128
“The King of The Jews”
The imagery above is that of Jesus wearing a Crown of Thorns!
Rejected and mocked by those He came to save, they said. . .
“We will not have this man to reign over us”
“We have no king but Caesar”
“Let His blood be on us and our children”
Luke 19:14 John 19:15 Matthew 27:25
But Peter spoke on the day of Pentecost, saying:
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart,
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all
that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Both Lord and Christ!
No longer “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”, but. . .
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the King of Glory
and wearing a Crown of Glory!
Additional Findings
The above words were written in 2019. While doing research last year (2023) for my article on the Fibonacci 60-Digit Repeat Cycle, I had come across the pi sequence below. I do not recall now what it was exactly that prompted me to look up the number 25,888, but I do know that the number 6660 was one of the sums on the Fibonacci clock, so I jotted it down thinking that the placement of these digits was no accident.
pi 3.141....1400...6660...4433...25888
^ 6848
While reading an article titled The Coming of the Morning Star by J Preston Eby last night, I was reminded that 6660 is the standard Hebrew value of Matthew 21:44, ”And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” This is on the heels of me having published two articles last week - one on the humility of Jesus called The Stones Would Cry Out, and the another on what it means to be an overcomer called To Him That Overcometh . . .again, no accident!
What I learned about the connections to this sequence of numbers brought me to my knees! You see, The Morning Star comes in our darkest hour of need and shines light on our weaknesses. Yet, in this darkness the Sun of Righteousness appears with the promise of a NEW DAY.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting get understanding.”
112 is the standard value of “Lord God” (יהוה אלהים / YHVH Elohim)
And also connected to this. . .
752 is the standard value of the phrase
“There ariseth Light in the darkness” from Psalm 112. . .

Knowing that God doesn't leave anything to chance, I started wondering what I would find associated with the number 4433 .
pi 3.141....1400...6660...4433...25888
The mirror opposite of 4433 is 3344
4433 is the standard value of Book Chapter Verse (BCV) 3344 - Micah 4:4
"But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it."
וְיָשְׁבוּ אִישׁ תַּחַת גַּפְנוֹ וְתַחַת תְּאֵנָתוֹ וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד כִּי־פִי יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת דִּבֵּר
This "being afraid" is all of the fears we have about worldly things, like: Who will be President? Who is the anti-christ? When will Armageddon arrive? etc., etc. These are the imaginations of men which the Lord comes to take away like a thief in the night, just as the Morning Star is giving way to the Sun of Righteousness.
Interestingly enough, the first 3344 digits of pi, phi and e sum to 45,288
15,330 + 14,806 + 15,152 = 45,288
288 is the totient of 888

The 1st 1705 digits of pi, phi and e sum to 23068

2368 is the isopsephy value of “Jesus Christ” (Ιησους Χριστος)
1705 is the isposephy value of the phrase "be still" (πεφίμωσο)
from Mark 4:39, which says. . .
"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
And what about the 1400? It can't be there by accident either, can it?

H1400 = Gebar (גּבר) meaning: (certain) MAN. . .Christ, the King
G1400 = Doulan (δοῦλον) meaning: TO BECOME A SERVANT (SUBSERVIENT)
Understanding that the Scriptures are highly symbolic and spiritual in nature, we see that The Morning Star (Jesus) comes in the darkest hour of our lives when we are filled with worry, and when the desires of our flesh are in the deepest depths of Hell. It is in this hour that He strips us of our “nations”, that is - our ego, pride, selfishness, self-will, and self-appointed majesty in our attempt to do our own thing - that is, build our own kingdom, gain a following, and to make a name for ourselves. These “nations” are not literal nations on a literal earth, but spiritual nations within our own earthen vessels. They are the DEAD WORKS of a carnal mind! This is why we see in the Book of Revelation that only the overcomers are awarded The Morning Star - which is the Power one needs to overcome the darkness and to walk in the LIGHT of Life. It is Resurrection Power! Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by Me.” Is not the end goal to sit with Him on His Throne and to rule with Him over the nations? Well, where is His Throne besides in the heaven of our mind!
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,
to him will I give POWER over the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father.
And I will give him The Morning Star.”
