In addition to the hundreds of astonishing previously revealed alignments between the First 7 Words of Creation and the universal Constants, the various elements of Number Theory and Geometry, the rest of the Words and the structure of the Torah, the 112 Essential Triplets, and the Tree-of-Life Cosmic structure of the universe there is yet another. Each word has its counterspace counterpart for example the First Word, Bereshit (בראשית) has a numerical value of 913, so its counterpart at the level of Binah consciousness (1000) is (1000 – 913) = 87. The sum of the 7 square roots of the 7 counterspace counterparts to the 7 First Words of Creation plus the 7 square roots of the 7 counterspace counterparts to the ordinal values of those 7 First Words including the square root of their 402-sum is precisely 240.0007. This is both the distance between the Earth and the Moon, 240,000 miles, and the numerical value (240) of Amalek (עמלק), the scourge of the Israelites. Since the ordinal value of Amalek (עמלק) is 60, its complete value is (240 + 60) = 300, as in the complete value of the First 7 Words plus the kolel, (2701 + 298 + 1) = 3000, while the 24th Triangular Number is 300.
The letter Shin (ש), the 21st letter of the Alef-bet, also has the numerical value 300, as in the 21 letters that are found in the Torah exactly 300,000 times. The lone other letter of the 22 letters of the Alef-bet is the 17th letter Pe (פ) that is found 4805 times among the 304805 letters in the Torah. The value of those 4805 letters Pe (פ) is (80 x 4805) = 384,400, which is 6202 or Keter2 and is equal to the 384,400 km distance between the Earth and Moon, equivalent to 240,000 miles, as per above.
The counterspace to the ordinal value of the First Word of Creation is (100 – 76) = 24, as in the 24 Books of Tanakh of which the Megillat Esther, the story of Purim, is one, anchoring it to the seed of Creation.
Crucial to the story of Purim is the victory over Haman, who was from the seed of Amalek. This is the reason we read Parshat Zachor on the Shabbat before Purim, describing Amalek’s defeat. That story is told in the 167 Verses of the Megillat Esther, which coincides with the 167 sum of the 7 square roots of the 7 First Word Counterspaces. Moreover, the Megillat Esther begins with the 3 Words “Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (וַיְהִי, בִּימֵי אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ),” whose numerical value is 914, the counterspace value to 3rd Word of Creation, Elohim (אלהים) and as in the value of the 72 Essential Triplet Matrix, 9143.
The theme of 7 persists throughout the First of the 10 Chapters of the Megillat Esther, starting with the 127 or (27 – 1) provinces that King Ahasuerus ruled over, analogous to the 2701-value of the First 7 Words of Creation. It is followed with the 7-day feast, the 7 ministering chamberlains, and the 7 Princes of Persia and Media, and then there is Haman (המן) of complete value (95 + 32) = 127. Amalek and the story of Purim, the Megillat Esther, are thus integrally connected to the First 7 Words of Creation, and Amalek specifically to the unseen counterspace to those Words, which is why the Megillat Esther is all about concealment, the unseen hand of G-d in everything. The Name of G-d is neither explicitly mentioned in the First Verse’s 7 Words of Creation, nor in the Megillat Esther, yet through innumerable ciphers and methods it is repeatedly and invisibly coded throughout. This is the same as with life, our physical existence. We must be able to see beneath and beyond to see the Creator’s hand in all things. This is why doubt had to be sewn into the system, in order that we would find belief on our own. Without concealment there is no inspiration to seek out. Without doubt there is nothing to overcome and thus no reason for being. We cannot elevate our consciousness without first igniting the desire to explore that consciousness and that happens when we find something from nothing.
The 240-value of Amalek is the same as that of “Sofek (ספק), doubts” and that is what Amalek is all about, our doubts in the existence of the Creator and His handiwork, our doubts in the physically unseen. That is creating nothing from something, which Man is very good at. As the revealed Torah has laid bare for us, these invisible but quite precise and real connections are built into the seeds of Creation, just as Amalek is the seed of all our troubles. The Torah and Tanakh explicitly tell us to remember to wipe out the doubts, and they show us the dire consequences of leaving even one intact. We are told to be forever vigilant. We can think of them as evil terrorists.
While the Cosmic Window of the Festival of Purim (פּוּרִים) has the gematria 336, as in the 336 letters of the 112 Essential Triplets of Creation that are embedded in the Torah and in the 363 Days of the Cosmic Wheel, Purim (פּוּרִים) has an ordinal sofit value of 77, as in Mazal (מזל), just like the 77th Triangular Value of the First 8 Words of Creation, connecting Purim (פּוּרִים) to the level of Binah, the 8th level, and going above the 7 Sefirot/dimensions of Creation. These are some of the reasons why in the time of Moshiach consciousness, which is at the level of Binah, Purim (פּוּרִים) will be the only Festival that remains.
Alternatively, the sofit value of Purim (פּוּרִים) is 896, as in the 8 x 8 square Matrix unfolded from the Magic Essential Cube of Creation of Constant 112 whose total value is (8 x 112) = 896. Moreover, given the connection between the Concept 77 and the Event Horizon 5778 HC and that Purim (פּוּרִים) begins with the letter Pe (פ) it is thus noteworthy that the complete sofit gematria of Purim (פּוּרִים) is (896 + 77) = 973, as in the difference between the Event Horizon and the 4805 letters Pe (פ) in the Torah or (5778 – 4805) = 973.
When we add the 167 Verses of the Megillat Esther to the 5637 Words in it, we get 5804, as in the far side of the Event Horizon 27.5-year grace period, 5805 HC. And we must wonder if it was coincidence that the setting for the Megillat Esther is Persia (Iran) and that that was where Amalek chose to pursue and attempt to destroy the Israelites. Was it foreshadowing?
The Creator is behind every Letter and Word in the Torah and behind everything physical and metaphysical. It is only a matter of looking beyond our doubts.
The Torah and Tanakh also show us that all doubts have a definitive source and when looking to remove our doubts its mandatory to eliminate that source.
