Page 385 of the Eight
Translation New Testament begins with the following reference.
"he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither
wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from
his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of
the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." (Luke
1:15-17.)
The abstinence idea links to the "awake" idea on page 385 of
Zodhiates, in contrast to the "foolishness" of 801. Being
filled with the Holy Ghost is a hallmark attribute of those who adhere to the
gospel of Jesus Christ, and is exemplified in the remnant.
All "to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

Note of Tangent (skip to conclusion)
Here's a little something else I came across in the course of doing this
study.
The following was pulled from the second page of a Google
search on "385 code."
It turns out that it is Title 47 of the US Code that pertains to
"...telephones..." and not just section 385, which is one of so many
sections of title 47. Still, seeing this on the second page of the
search engine results did hit me as being interesting, though it may not have
high statistical relevance.
To me, there is no doubt that the Lord intentionally set up
these correlations to provide commentary and instruction for many of his
remnant people of these latter days as they prepare to pass through the most
challenging trials of discernment, enduring, and overcoming that have ever
been on this earth. The prize of Zion will make the trials easily worth
while, but meanwhile, the rigors of alertness are utmost keen. It
behooves us to appreciate and put to good use helps such as are provided in
the encoded messages of scripture, designed for those who have eyes to see and
ears to hear.
The strong and numerous cross-links between 385 and Isaiah 52
are yet another witness that the heart center of the latter-day people of God,
or of Zion -- the Gentile husbandmen for the the second advent of Messiah --
is in the Rocky Mountain West, especially Utah; even as it lay in Jerusalem
for the first coming of Messiah.
