The Powers of Ten in the Sign of Jesus Christ
For hundreds of years before the time of Christ, the Pythagorean philosophers believed that God communicated with man through numbers. The number “10,” called the “tetrakis,” was their most sacred number because they believed that all the numbers in the world were generated from it. Imagine the wonder the Pythagoreans of Judea and Galilee must have felt when the number value of the Greek Numerals that stood for Jesus Christ generated the tetrakis and all the powers of 10 in three different alphabets.
| Name | Sign | Alphabet | Product of Sign | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jesus Christ | IX | Roman | 1 x 10 | 101 = 10 |
| Jesus Christ | IX | Attic-Greek x Roman | 1 x 10 | 101 = 10 |
| Jesus Christ | IX | Ionic-Greek x Roman | 10 x 10 | 102 = 100 |
| Jesus Christ | IX | Attic Greek | 1 x 1000 | 103 = 1000 |
| Jesus Christ | IX | Ionic Greek Attic Greek | 10 x 1000 | 104 = 10000 |
The product of the letters “I” and “X” that stand for “Jesus Christ” have a number value in the Attic Greek, Ionic Greek, and Roman alphabets of all the powers of “10” from 1 to 10,000, proving the boast of the early Christians that there were “powers” in the name of Jesus Christ.
