Two great riddles of WD Gann; "...why Jesus...rested on the seventh day" part 2 of 3

Skip over the blathering of this essay if you wish; the answer is "yes" to the question of the confirming riddle.  The math that provides the answer to the 2000-year old question also solves the second and confirming riddle. The mathematics are presented in the only insert to this essay.  We senior citizens are entitled to reprising our favored thoughts and that's the case with today's blather.  Their reputation, however, is not to minimize what I consider to be an important motivational argument for some.  I think the blathering is important.  But that's me.

Philo of Alexandria's "Rules of Enigmas;" this entirely out of memory from previous study and only a cursory review of that past material.  Philo created rules of composition which writers of certain books of the Bible could use to lead readers to isolate concepts that need their deep reflection to reach a full understanding of their meaning.  Obviously, one method would be allegory or the greater symbolic meaning of subjects and events.  There's a laundry list of Philo's methods at the linked article.

WD Gann's use of Philo's rules; the intentional misspelling of a simple word "Mammouth." Intentionally misspelled, in my opinion, to red flag the 110-story Mammouth Building; a key defensive location in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  A resounding "Duh."  Gosh, that reminds me of the 110-story World Trade Center.  Wow, both located in New York City.  "Surely, this couldn't be a prediction of the tragedy of 9/11 the naive will ask.  Read the "Sixth Manifest Prophecy of WD Gann where the case is developed that WD Gann predicted the name of the attacker, Mohamed Ata, the number of attackers on the three successful planes, the date and time the attack would begin to within one minute of when Ata's plane departed Logan International, the number of innocent lives lost that day.... exactly.  I doubt the misspelled Mammouth bothered most that caught it, but some caught it.  I doubt that the 110-story building raised the eyebrow who've read TTTTA post 9/11, but some may have made a connection.  I did.  But did you dig or reflect for deeper meaning.  These things should make any observant or introspective person wonder.  It's Philo's rules begging the informed to question.

Far deeper than the obvious misspelling of Mammouth; the apparent incorrect phraseology of the Foreword.  From the Foreword or TTTTA, that "...Jesus rose on the third day and rested on the seventh day."  A great error of reflexively, ignorantly, using a phrase from Genesis to the impetus to those with inquisitive minds to delve deeper; to consider the apparent error an invitation to consider something otherwise?  Mr. Gann ignorant?  I can't go there, not even an inch in that direction.

The first part of that enigma has been addressed in the previous essay.  Its a 2000-year unsettled question of theology; that Jesus, according to the Nicene Creed, rose on the third day but rose on the second day.  I proposed a mathematic answer that he rose according to math relationships on the third day reckoned by time at the latitude of Calvary rather than the equator's latitude.  Its math implied by Robert Gordon's seven days.

There's that seven (Robert Gordon's seven days) or seventh (Jesus day of rest) echo playing out.  If we know the seven days of Robert Gordon then we know what Jesus rested on the seventh day then we have attained "understanding."  Its the second enigma and the one which I name the "confirming riddle" is Jesus having rested on the seventh day.  Even I, the son of a professed atheist, knew that it was God that rested on the seventh day, not Jesus.  Another uncomfortable moment for those who "observe" rather than simply read.  Did the author who included volumes of scripture in a fictional book make this error?  Really?  Maybe you'll re-characterize it as a nuance; that God and Jesus are substantially the same?  Nuance is at the heart of Philo's rules; that subtle suggestion or doubt that entreats further consideration.

Read Philo's rules 4, 7, 8, 11, 16, 17... in the above linked article; I claim the error or nuance was intended and, moreover, it was anything but an error.  If you "observed" did it make you want to know why Mr. Gann made the "error" you wouldn't expect him to make?  If you "observed," did it make you a little queazy without knowing why; kinda like when you "observed" the misspelling of the 110-story "Mammouth?"  It did me.  Even the Valleygirl goes "Duh."

This is probably the deepest of all enigmas given that the math, arguably, answers the 2000 year-old question of Jesus resurrection on the third day, the first enigma and confirms the answer with the second enigma.

The second confirming riddle or enigma; that "Jesus...rested on the seventh day."  The seventh day of the week, as we derive from Luke 24:1 which declares Sunday as the first of seven days of the week, must be Saturday.  Does Robert Gordon's math, that answered the first riddle, applied to the confirming riddle result in the ascension and resting to have occurred on Saturday?  Reframed; Do we find the 40 days, measured by Robert Gordon's math, from the resurrection to ascension to be a Saturday?

First, 40 days from Sunday, April 5, 0033 (Isaac Newton's date of crucifixion plus 3 days modified by Robert Gordon's math to 2 days at the equator- see the previous essay), straight forward, measured at the equator, is not the seventh day, a Saturday.  I've linked the timeanddate.com calculation.  It is Friday, May 15.  But does Robert Gordon's math make it so?

The Robert Gordon math of the second enigma is so simple because we are dealing with two simple (non exponential) numbers; 1) the ratio between the circumference of the earth at its equator and the circumference of the earth at the latitude of Calvary and 2) the ratio of the fourth iteration of the Fibonacci sequence, "La" of Pythaogras' diatonic scale, the inscrutable number of Robert Gordon's seven days... 1.6666.  If the 72 hours of the Biblical prophecy, adjusted for the two simple numbers, becomes 36.7272 hours, then the same simple constants modify 40 days to become:

20.4040 days following the date and moment of the resurrection, "Jesus...rose on the seventh day" of the week; that being Saturday, April 25, 0033 at 1:25PM.

Jesus ascended on the "seventh day" and I presume his standing or taking a seat to the right hand of God; resting from his 40 days of travel and teaching.

*** ***

WD Gann's math of Robert Gordon and the confirming riddle worked according to the veiled challenge he presented; that Jesus rested on the seventh day.

The Day of Ascension is celebrated, as I naively understand, variously on the 40th day following Easter or 39 days after Easter Sunday.  

That WD Gann created his two riddles, as I claim, to become self and cross validating with the result being Jesus ascension on a Saturday and opposed to the traditional celebration, is not at issue.  I'll let the experts descend into the theological abyss of debating something that not any person can bear witness.  Its not relevant to WD Gann's proof of riddles that validates a system of mathematics.

But if I were a betting man, and certainly given my theologic ignorance.... or innocence....my money would be on WD Gann, whatever the contemporary dilemma of an event that occurred 2000 years ago.  And on the ultimate arbiter of truth; mathematics.

And ultimately as well, Robert Gordon's math, the Euclidian and Descartesian solution to spacetime destination.

Well done, Mr. Gann, as if you need my approval.
