Shalom Sterling!

2 Chronicles 13 to end of book.
Matrix 1121

1. MNDYM-DVD skip 4491 (probability: 1.26%)
   (Menudim-David=David's Outcasts)
   [MEM,NUN,DALET,YOD,MEM,DALET,VAV,DALET)
    
2. STRLNG skip 3356 (probability: 7.87%)
   [SAMECH,TAV,RESH,LAMED,NUN,GIMEL]
    
3. ALLAN skip 2232 (probability above 50%)
   [ALEF,LAMED,LAMED,ALEF,NUN]
    

   "Menudim-David" does not show up in the Torah where there is a better than 40% chance for it to show. With a 2.55% chance it shows up only in 2 Chronicles. It is found in chapter 13 to the end. In this range there is only a 1.26% probability. In this same range, "Sterling" shows up at a 7.87% chance and at a skip compatible with the first find, cutting through it with a matrix of 1121. What other information might be encrypted here? Dean.

In the New Testament Lexicon

The following set of word definitions come from Zodhiates' Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament.  The standard numbering was established by James Strong at the turn of the century.  The numbers chosen come from the skip sequences mentioned above.

1121 gramma (from grapho, to write.) That which is written, a letter of the alphabet, a book, letter, bond, and so forth.  ...The letters of the alphabet as used in Scripture as the object of study or knowledge.

Word 1121 [matrix] in the OT lexicon (Strong's Concordance Dictionary) is:

[Zeph. 3:19 "Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame."  This scripture was given under miraculous circumstances.]

Word 4491 [MNDYM-DVD] in the OT lexicon is:

4491 minhag driving (as chariots).

[(1) Perhaps has to do with determinedly steering a course through difficult times (the tempests as in driving rain) -- a corollary to the idea of moderating, but adding the idea of a direction (hopefully toward Zion!).  The entire group (David's Outcasts) is doing the driving -- a team effort.
(2) The gametria of MNHG is 98.  GreaterThings.com website began Feb. 10, 1998.]

Discussion

The New Testament lexicon matches are by far the most explicit pertaining to David's Outcasts and Sterling Allan.  The Old Testament lexicon matches seem to be more of a commentary in nature.

According to Dean,

"Menudim-David [David's Outcasts] does not show up in the Torah where there is a better than 40% chance for it to show. With a 2.55% chance it shows up only in 2 Chronicles. It is found in chapter 13 to the end."

The question therefore arises, What message might be found or extracted from 2 Chron. 13 through the end in relation to David's Outcasts?

This region of the Old Testament, chronologically, covers the era a while after the golden era of David spanning to the the eve of captivity in Babylon.  The last four verses of the last chapter of II Chronicles briefly overview the 70-year captivity in Babylon and the return to rebuild the temple.  This era leading up to the Babylonian captivity is a time of repeated apostasy /repenting and repeated military defeat /deliverance of the Lord's people, with one prophet after another being sent by the Lord to call the people to repentance, as well as a cycling of king-leaders that either bring the people to chastening defeats or to miraculous deliverance.  It begins with a rebuke and victory by the prophet-king Abijah in 2 Chron. 13; includes the ministries of the great prophet Isaiah and of the righteous king Hezekiah; and ends in chapter 36 with king Zedekiah rebelling, the people rejecting the prophet Jeremiah, which is the last insult leading to their being taken into Babylon.

Superimposing that scenario onto the circumstances in the world today does not take a wild stretch of the imagination.  Once again the Lord's people are in a state of apostatizing from the Lord, following the golden era of the restoration through Joseph Smith.  Once again, the Lord has continued to strive with them, sending witnesses and watchmen among their ranks to spur them to repentance.  Once again, they are headed to the brink of catastrophic subservience under the reign of the beast.

So it is in that context that David's Outcasts then could be compared to the subset at the time of Jeremiah who sought to separate themselves from the corruption, while also lifting a voice of warning.  Indeed it is that very circumstance that the Book of Mormon narrative begins, with Lehi warning the people and then fleeing from their midst.
