JESUS 8880
A Gematria-Based Commentary on the Gospels
The purpose of Jesus 8880 is to show that the authors of the Gospels extensively used the ancient Greek practices of sacred geometry, gematria, and isopsephia in composing their text. They said their parables contained “signs and mysteries.” This can most easily be shown regarding the “miracle stories” that involve numbers.
Every single gospel story is a gematria parable. Each gospel verse is a drawing instruction. The commentary shows how the gospel text uses clever puns and word play to describe the signs that are invisible to the reader or the person hearing the story.
Jesus said to the 12 apostles: “You have been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those, the ones outside, everything is given in parables … so that seeing, they may see and not perceive.”
For over 1,900 years, we have all been “outsiders” to the “mysteries” of Christianity by only seeing a literal interpretation of every gospel story we read or hear. With the publication of this book, everyone can know “the mysteries of the Kingdom of God!”
Jesus also said: … See what you hear! … By what measure you measure, it will be measured to you!
The Greek word blepete is a command to “see.” Biblical scholars reasoned that no one can see words you hear, so they translated it as “pay attention.” But there is a way to literally see the words:
- Measure (make a “sign”) for every key word in a story
- Use that sign wherever that word appears in the gospel
- Plot those signs to a special graph (shown below)
- The stories become visible! (They are measured out to you!)
How the Signs Work
Every verse is a drawing
Each gospel verse is a drawing instruction. The words describe how to construct the underlying diagram.
Words become circles
Each Greek word defines a circle — with circumference based on Jesus (888) or Christ (1,480) units.
Two kinds of words
Narrator words (blue, thin border) are spoken by the gospel author. Dialog words (white, thick border) are spoken by characters.
Proven by geometry
When words fit tangent to objects on the Star of David, the story is proven true — like a geometry theorem.
The Greek Alphabet has an “8-8-8 Structure”
The total letter value of Jesus is also “888”
Ιησους
10 + 8 + 200 + 70 + 400 + 200 = 888
| Alpha | Beta | Gamma | Delta | Epsilon | Zeta | Eta | Theta |
| Α α | Β β | Γ γ | Δ δ | Ε ε | Ζ ζ | Η η | Θ θ |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| Iota | Kappa | Lamda | Mu | Nu | Xi | Omicron | Pi |
| Ι ι | Κ κ | Λ λ | Μ μ | Ν ν | Ξ ξ | Ο ο | Π π |
| 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
| Rho | Sigma | Tau | Upsilon | Phi | Chi | Psi | Omega |
| Ρ ρ | Σ σ ς | Τ τ | Υ υ | Φ φ | Χ χ | Ψ ψ | Ω ω |
| 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 |
The 24 letters of the Greek alphabet have an 8-8-8 structure. The first row of eight letters represent units, the second row tens, the third row hundreds. Every literate Greek person alive during the time of Christ knew this system. Since every name and word in the Greek language had a corresponding numerical value, words could be expressed as numbers and numbers as words — making the Greek alphabet a public cipher that encouraged two numerical practices called isopsephia and gematria.

Jesus, a Circle of Life
These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.
The Mystery of the “Raised Jesus”
(888 × 10) = 8880
| Name or Title | Gematria Value | Common Factor 74 | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jesus | 888 | 74 × 12 | 888 × 10 = 8880 |
| Christ | 1480 | 74 × 20 | 1480 × 6 = 8880 |
| John the Baptist | 2220 | 74 × 30 | 2220 × 4 = 8880 |
| Son of Man | 2960 | 74 × 40 | 2960 × 3 = 8880 |
| The raised Jesus | 8880 | 74 × 120 | 8880 × 1 = 8880 |
The most important message of Christianity is that Jesus rose from the dead. The gospel authors made a geometric metaphor out of that claim by “raising” his living value (888) by a factor of 10 to the number 8880. Enclosing the “raised Jesus” inside a square creates a graph that is a metaphor for “the Kingdom of God.”
The Jesus 8880 Graph
This graph demonstrates how the Gospel authors of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John incorporated gematria and sacred geometry riddles in their stories to proclaim the raised Jesus. The author of Revelation used this same “raised Jesus graph” but employed a style of gematria that was far more advanced and sophisticated to reveal “Jesus Christ.”
