Chapter XLII.—His System
Applied to Explain Our Lord’s Life and Death.
And he says, as the result of this computation and
that proportion,751
that in the
similitude of an image He appeared who after the six days Himself
ascended the mountain a fourth person, and became the sixth.752
And (he asserts) that He (likewise)
descended and was detained by the Hebdomad, and thus became an
illustrious Ogdoad. And He contains in Himself of the elements
the entire number which He manifested, as He came to His baptism.
(And the symbol of manifestation was) the descent of the dove, which is
O[mega] and Alpha, and which by the number manifested (by these is)
801.753
| 753 The
Greek word for dove is περίστερα,
the letters of which represent 801, as may be seen thus:—
π = 80
ε = 5
ρ = 100
ι = 10
σ = 200
τ = 300
ε = 5
ρ = 100
α = 1

801
This, therefore, is equipollent with Alpha
and Omega, as α is equal to 1, and
ω to 800. [Stuff! Bunsen, very
naturally, exclaims.] | And for
this reason (he maintains) that Moses says that man was created on the
sixth day. And (he asserts) that the dispensation of suffering (took
place) on the sixth day, which is the preparation; (and so it was) that
on this (day) appeared the last man for the regeneration of the first
man. And that the beginning and end of this dispensation is the
sixth hour, at which He was nailed to the (accursed) tree. For
(he says) that perfect Nous, knowing the sixfold number to be possessed
of the power of production and regeneration, manifested to the sons of
light the regeneration that had been introduced into this number by
that illustrious one who had appeared. Whence also he says that
the double letters754

remarkable number. For the illustrious number, being intermingled
with the twenty-four elements, produced the name (consisting) of the
thirty letters.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
