When Aziraphale lists the times he did the "I was wrong" dance, the first date he gives is 1650. I had fallen down the rabbit hole of Strong's Concordance and looking up all the significant numbers I could think of in the show thanks to this post:
1650 seems to be kind of a random date, as we saw Crowley rescue Aziraphale in both 1793 and 1941. Looking up 1650 on biblehub.com, it corresponds to the Greek word "elegchos," meaning "a proof or test." And a tap on the "Topical" tab on biblehub.com shows that Archbishop James Ussher "proved" that the earth was created in 4004 BC in 1650. DID AZIRAPHALE HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT? Is Aziraphale the reason Ussher got the timing wrong by nearly a quarter of an hour?? Did he let slip some major angelic intel that Crowley had to then help him resolve in some way?

Simon of Cyrene
written by Will Schumacher
As I was reading through the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord this last Easter week I was wondering the significance of Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross for Jesus. One may say that the Scriptures are just saying that a man named Simon from Cyrene carried the cross, no more and no less.  However, God’s Word is perfect.  There is nothing lacking in it and there are no wasted words used in it.  Everything in it is there for a reason. Simon comes from the Hebrew word “shema” meaning “hear” and “obey”.  It is Strong’s H8085.  I have always found it fascinating and instructive that in the language of the Bible to hear means to obey.
One of the most important prayers in Judaism is the Shema which begins with the word “shema”.
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
Cyrene means “powerful one”.  It has the same root as “Lord”. So Hear and Obey from a city whose name is tied to our Lord carried the cross. Simon is first mentioned in Matthew:
Matthew 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Prior Jesus says that if anyone comes after Him, he must deny himself and carry his cross.  This is what peaked my interest.  I knew Jesus said we must carry our cross and there was someone named Simon-meaning “hear and obey” carrying a cross at the crucifixion.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
The verse jump between the 2 verses is 465. Strong’s G465 =”exchange” is used 2 times in the New Testament.  In both instances they are used in the discussion of Jesus telling his disciples that they must carry their cross:
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
There are also a number of times the word “shema” has an in-text gematria of 465 according to the 777 gematria database.
So Jesus told his disciples that to be a disciple one must carry his cross.  Simon of Cyrene is a picture of the disciple of Christ carrying his cross.  Jesus died in our place, but we are still to “hear and obey” and out of love and dedication for what He has done for us.

Pairing: Gojo Satoru x Reader Word Count: 701 words Warnings: Swearing
Tumblr media
“He's going to embarrass himself.”
You tilt your head back to look up at Geto, moving the grass stem between your teeth to the side so you can speak unhindered. “Why don’t you go and help him out, then?”
Geto makes a show of humming thoughtfully.
“Nah,” he says.
Next to him, Shoko takes a picture with her phone.
You follow the gaze of the camera back to the scene in front of you, repositioning the grass stem between your teeth once more. Your eyes narrow. Though you’d sooner drop out of Jujutsu High than admit it, you’re just as bitter as you are unamused by what you’re seeing.
Gojo Satoru is flirting with a girl. Again.
His hands are in his pockets, sunglasses perched low on his nose, hair wild and blindingly white under the afternoon sky. He says something and the girl nods; he grins wider and talks some more.
To the average person, it seems like his chances of getting her number are close to one hundred percent. The three of you know better.
“How long until he fucks it up, you think?” you ask.
“As soon as he sees a chance to make a dick joke,” Geto replies.
“If it’s clever, she might think it’s funny,” Shoko says.
You grunt.
Gojo and the girl talk for a few more minutes. Finally, the girl stands, bids goodbye, and leaves. Gojo watches her for a few minutes and then turns around to start the short trek back to where you’re all waiting.
“He fucked it up.”
Geto, ever the loyal best friend, meanders over to meet him halfway. “Satoru! What happened this time? Relied too much on your pretty face?”
Gojo pouts as the other boy slaps him on the back. “She said she already has a boyfriend.”
“Damn. What did you say?”
Gojo pouts even more, which is never a good sign.
“Hey.” You take the grass out of your mouth and toss it back into the bushes. “What did you say?”
“… If they ever break up, she should call me.” Gojo puts his infinity up when you throw a rock at him. “It was a joke! I was joking!”
“Holy shit, you have no game,” you say, getting up to jab him in the cheek. You fail, of course, and Gojo sticks his tongue out at you like a child. “Why would you even say that?”
“Because, like I just said, it was a JOKE.”
“That’s not a joke! It’s something an asshole would say!”
“Well, fuck, since you know everything about what to say, why didn’t you try to ask for her number?”
“That doesn’t even make any sense.” You hear a camera go off and whip around to snap at Shoko. “Stop taking pictures!”
She stares at you blankly. Geto snickers, and you slowly deflate as the stupidity of the situation catches up to you.
With a huff, you cross your arms.
“Idiot,” you grumble.
“You’re so mean for no reason,” complains Gojo.
“You’re stupid for no reason.” Pushing past him, you finally feel a rush of satisfaction when your shoulder knocks against his. “Now let’s go. I’m starving.”
He easily catches up to stride alongside you, simpering. “Oh, so that’s why. You’re not being fed on time.”
“Shut up.”
“Or are you jealous that I was flirting with someone?”
Every muscle in your body stiffens up. You glare at him. “What?! N-No, of course not.”
“Liar,” Gojo replies, baby blue eyes wide with delight. “Aw, that’s cute, being so shy about it.”
“I’m mad because we’re supposed to be eating by now.”
“If you want me to pay more attention to you, all you have to do is say please.”
“Please shut the fuck up.”
“No.”
The entire way to the restaurant, you keep your hands glued over your ears, face boiling as Gojo throws his lanky arm over your shoulders and pesters you with a shit-eating grin. Geto and Shoko make a point to walk behind the two of you and do nothing about it. In fact, you’re certain they think it’s hilarious.
You groan underneath your breath. You need to get new friends.

In love with the idea of captain marvel being Billy's imaginary friend. Like, it'd be so easy. Early depictions had them as almost fully separate people sometimes, like one soul with two minds, rather than just two filters like we mostly see now.
But imagine a Billy down on his luck, hurt and hiding from police and criminals alike, daydreaming the hours away as children do, taking inspiration from all the superheroes rising to fame, making little stories to play out his dreams of saving the world with a generic action doll he found while dumpster diving once. Most of the paint's rubbed off.
Red's his favourite colour, his comfiest jumper is a bright ruby even after all the grime and washes. Gold, too, it's shiny and warmer than silver! A hero cape is a must, big and eye catching! And he can fly, of course, like superman, and in his daydreams, when he's sore and frustrated after a long day's grind, his superhero is smart enough and knows all the right words to get the bullies to stop without resorting to fighting.
His superhero fantasy is one he spends a lot of time on, the first one he goes for when struggling to sleep at night, and he can picture it so clearly. Captain marvel is big and bright and kind, strong enough to lift the boxes for the old lady up the road who's moving all by himself, fast enough to catch Jamie who fell out of the tree on Saturday and broke his leg and couldn't come to class for weeks. He appears at the entrance to alleys when Billy is cornered, he steps up behind to cover for him when he gets caught shoplifting, he sits at the bus stop with him when it's pouring rain and the right bus doesn't seem to be coming.
And then the wizard comes, or rather whisks him away, and like a magician from a fairytale breathes life into his imaginary friend until Billy feels thrice his size and a million times more invincible.
From then on, captain marvel is a real hero, just like Billy is a real boy, and as one they save the whole city, and then the whole world, and get cats down from trees and help Mrs Victoria move the last of her boxes and she gives them a pinch in the cheek and cookies for the road and sometimes it hurts but it's so much better than he imagined.
#dc comics#captain marvel#dc captain marvel#shazam#billy batson#imaginary friend#imaginary friend au#Billy's great because you can give him the most buck wild adventures with the most self indulgent plots and it makes perfect sense#Batman and superman are out here having mental health crisis no.528 and marvels away having dance offs with gnomes#Billy would fit perfectly into gravity falls he really would#Anyway imaginary friend au is near and dear because it encapsulates that sort of safe fantasy for change and companion ship#And a protective imaginary friend brought to life is going to be just a fascinating character no matter what#And it's the perfect cover for non imaginary cap anyway. Why does he prioritise this kid over everything despite having never mentioned him#Imaginary friends always have to care for their creator! But you can't expect an imaginary friend to do your taxes!#Why is cap so eternally kind and bubbly and a bit childish? That's because his creator is a kid! Duh!#This particular imaginary friend just so happens to have encountered magic and is now real enough to play basketball with asteroids.#He's strong enough to match superman but it's fine he's got a child's heart and an unending protectiveness for humanity.#Just don't try anything with the kid or you're toast.#I love the jl needing to save/help Billy in some way and cap; who's practically the jls puppy mascot at this point#Is just shamelessly and unrepentantly possessive of Billy while being openly wrapped around his finger. Number one fan#Like 'he's the specialist boy and if you don't clap for him I'm going to blow this whole building up' type#Have you read Split on ao3 it's like that. Cap is the most unaffiliated person on the team and then bam Billy is number 1 priority 100%#Go read split if you haven't 10/10#Like it never crosses caps mind to hinder or harm Billy he is Devoted. Platonic God/worshipper except the deity in question is an 11yo#And the worshipper is the closest thing to a deity without being one you can get in dc.#But like a healthy relationship lmao.#It's a soul deep claim with total freedom on both sides and they teach each other love and they're the same person#AUGH

The 6th Seal of Revelation & the Letter Vav
written by Will Schumacher
I did a series of posts that the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet correspond to the 22 chapters of Revelation.
The 6th chapter of Revelation corresponds to the 6th Hebrew letter Vav. The ancient Hebrew language is a pictograph language. The letter vav is a picture of a nail or tent peg. The letter vav is considered the connecting force of God to creation. It is what joins just as a nail or tent peg joins.
The first time the 6th Hebrew letter vav is found in the Bible , it is in the 6th word “and”. It is joining the words “heaven” and “the earth”.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The word “vav” is Strong’s H2053. And is translated as “hook” or “tent peg”. These tent pegs were used in the tabernacle to join the tabernacle to the earth. Since the tabernacle was the dwelling of God from heaven these hooks/vavs connected heaven to the earth.
Note that man is joined to God through Jesus by being nailed (vav) to the cross.
John 20:25 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.
This is the only use of Strong’s G2247 = “nail” and it has an intext gematria = 888 = Jesus.
Jesus is known as restorer of the “missing vav”.
The word for generations as used in Genesis 2:4 before the fall of man is spelled correctly with 2 vavs but after the fall has only 1 vav until Ruth 4:18 and the generations of Pharez, hence a “missing vav”.
Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Ruth 4:18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
The running total gematria to the second word, Strong’s H8435 = “generations” with the restored vav, is 888. Again Jesus = 888.
Strong’s H6557 “Pharez” means breach or break forth and is from Strong’s H6556.
Pharez’ birth genealogy leads to the birth of David. Jesus is the Son of David and the promised king of the Davidic covenant. God was saying He would break forth into humanity through Jesus and provide redemption and the restored vav.
Jesus is known as the repairer of the breach (Pharez) in chapter 888 of the Bible. Again 888 = Jesus.
Amos 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
Genesis 2:4 is verse 35 and Ruth 4:18 is verse 7209. 7209-35 = 7174 verses in between. Only 1 verse in all of Bible with gematria 7174 and it is about the crucifixion, the nails (vav) pierced our Savior’s body to restore back to creation.
Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
So Jesus is the missing vav and He is what joins heaven and earth. Chapter 6 of Revelation is tied to the letter vav. The beginning of the 6th seal of this 6th chapter of Revelation uses the same language as Mark 15:33 tied to Jesus as the missing vav. This darkness begins at the 6th hour and corresponds to the 6th seal.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
As I have said in other posts the sun and moon are called “rulers” of the heavens in Genesis 1:16 and are symbolically used as symbols of leadership. The Bible paints a picture of God as the sun since He is the chief ruler from the heavens. Sackcloth symbolizes mourning. The symbolism of the sun turning black as sackcloth is a picture of God the Father in mourning over His Son whom He has put the penalty of sin upon. The moon is symbolized in the Bible as a leader who reflects the light of the moon. When Jesus was on earth He was a reflection of the Father and served Him. The moon became blood I believe refers to Jesus becoming the blood sacrifice for our sins.
Genesis 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
A pertinent question is if the beginning of the 6th seal is the death of Jesus then how can He be pictured in Revelation 5 as worthy to open the seals because He was slain and accomplished redemption? That makes no sense. However, Revelation 13 states that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. God and the events in heaven are not subject to the laws of time as we are here on earth.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The verse jump from Mark 15:33 to Revelation 6:12 is 5946. Verse 5946 contains the Passover. Christ on the cross was the Passover Lamb. It is also the first time that they ate from the Promised Land after being in the wilderness 40 years. It would seem to be a confirmation of the Abrahamic covenant.
Josh 5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
The first verse with a gematria of 5946 is about the covenant God made with Abram. It is important to note that Abram never walked through the divided animals, only God. God was saying He alone will be responsible for keeping this covenant, a reference again to God Himself breaking forth/Pharez into humanity through Jesus and providing redemption.
Genesis 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not
