Alphabetics Commentary on Joseph John Dewey

  Introduction

I would now like to present to you some pretty amazing witnesses from the Alphabetics Word-Number Code which at a bare minimum are definitely referring to the J.J. phenomenon. As to the conclusion, it would appear to me that they verify that J.J. has indeed been visited in a manner similar to what he portrays in his book.

What I used as a reference number by which I might look something up in the Bible lexicons is the address that is printed on his book.

The address listed in The Immortal for more copies and information is

Great AD-ventures
3701 Overland, Suite B
Boise, ID 83705.

An alternative address is

P.O. Box 8011
Boise, ID 83707.

I find it interesting that there are three numbers here in very close proximity:  the street address and the two zip codes (last four digits): 3701, 3705, 3707.

  3701, 3705, 3707

Word 3701 in the NT lexicon means, 

"A sight, appearance, especially a vision or apparition."  

That certainly fits the image of John the Beloved visiting with J.J. 

Word 3705 (last four digits of the zip code) similarly means,

"A sight, spectacle, that which is seen. Used of a supernatural appearance, a vision."

Word 3707 means, "Visible."

In the Old Testament lexicon, the definition for word number 3701 is "(1) silver, (2) money; used of that which is acquired by money."  Blayne might raise his eyebrows here as he has made such an issue about how J.J. gives away Book I for free and then dangles the rest of the story like a carrot before the reader -- for a price.  However, his book is very reasonably priced.  The very name of the website for the book The Immortal is www.freeread.com .  So that word 3701 means "that which is acquired by money," is sort of a paradoxical contrast and commentary on how J.J. is so free with his teachings and time.

Word 3705 in the OT lexicon means, "now, already," and cites Dan. 2:23, which I have noted in my margin is the "story of Daniel interpreting the dream."

Word 3707 in the OT means

"(1) to be displeased, morose, to take offense; (2) to be angry; to irritate, provoke; [3] to vex any one, to grieve."

In considering an application of this definition to J.J. and his work, several things come to mind.  First is that the orthodox religious world takes strong offense at J.J. and usually stays far away from him, seeing him and his teachings as anathema.  It's usually only those who are "outcasts" as it were from these religions who have a broader perspective about spirituality and who take any interest at all in in his teachings. 

The second thing that comes to mind for me in this definition is the temperament I have observed in J.J.  Very mild and gentle for the most part.  It is very difficult to rile him (Blayne has been able to do it), and even then, it is hardly more than a ruffle.  Compare that to someone like Brian RWBH who at the slightest pinch goes into orbit.

So my take on this is that it is a commentary on how though J.J. walks the walk of a disciple, his teachings cut to the core and stir people up to anger, offending their hard-fast paradigms in which they are so heavily invested.

  8011

Another number in the address listed in J.J.'s book is P.O. Box 8011.

Word 8011 in Hebrew OT means, "retribution, penalty."  Word 8010, which Gesenius lists after it has the opposite meaning: "peaceable."  The words in this vicinity all have one or the other of these meanings.  The stem spelling is shin, lamed, mem, ShLM -- Shalom, the Hebrew word for peace -- and the root of the name, Jerusalem.

One of the hallmark discoveries in alphabetics is that often words in close proximity and close spelling have opposite meanings.  The English "cleave" means (1) to separate asunder; (2) to join steadfastly.  An opposite meaning can be just as insightful in defining something as a synonym.  An antonym of "retribution, punishment" would be REWARD.

As for application of word 8011 and the words in its vicinity to J.J. and his work, I see the following message, namely that his work has to do with seeking after the reward of peace, both in each individual's heart as well as in the world.  Also, that it is a key part of establishing the new Jerusalem.

Another meaning for these Hebrew letters, found in definition 7999 for the root, is

"(1) To be whole, sound, safe; (2) to be completed, finished; (3) to have peace, friendship with anyone; [3] to restore; [4] to requite, to recompense; [5] to be paid or performed (used of a vow); [6] to receive the reward."

The New Testament lexicon only goes up to 5624, so to get an application from that source, we can try taking 8011 and dividing it by half.

8011 x 1/2 = 4005.5

Word 4005 in the NT lexicon means "A fiftieth part. In the NT Pentecost, the day of Pentecost."

For those of you who may have followed my post on Adam-On-Diahman,  you will perhaps appreciate how significant this word is from a prophetic point of view.  It points toward that latter-day Pentecost that will be on a parallel (only greater) with the day of Pentecost at the time of the Jews.  It is a major turning point, the old being done away, and the new coming in.  The New Jerusalem.

Word 4005 (4006 the same word as a proper noun, name) in the Old Testament lexicon means, "election, choice; whatever is most choice, most excellent, best."

First, I think of the first key word in "The Immortal:" DECISION -- choice, election.  Second, I think of the name of the publisher of J.J.'s book.  "Great AD-ventures."  Both the word "great" and the word "add" imply the meaning of greater things -- that which is choice, that which the elect seek after.
