-
- jtauber@tartarus.uwa.edu.au provides the letter names:
-
- "lamed yod shin mem vav mem resh ayin kaf yod shin vav yod ayin"
-
- In Hebrew, they are:
- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ ,__ _ ,__ _ _ _ _ |_
- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
- _|/ | |/_/ ___| _|/ | | _| | | _| |/_/ /
-
- Parse #1:
-
- "li sh'moom ra, k'yeshuya"
-
- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ ,__ _ ,__ _ _ _ _ |_
- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
- _|/ | |/_/ ___| ,_|/ | | _| | | _| |/_/ /
-
- Ignoring the last yod, we can awkwardly translate this as:
-
- <<< "Mine that is an evil blemish, similar to Jesus" >>>
-
- If you want, you can make up sermons based on adding or
- removing the "yod," whose numerical value is "10" as in
- the Commandments.
-
- Parse #2:
-
- Assign a numerical value to the ayin, and get
-
- "l'yeish mumar ayin, k'yeish vai ayin"
-
- " _ _" _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ " _ _" __ ,__ _ ,__ _ _ _ _ |_
- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
- _|/ | |/_/ ___| _|/ | | _| | | _| |/_/ /
-
- <<< To their being a heretic, a "70," like there is woe, a "70" >>
-
- As 70 is the standard human lifespan, this may be a prophecy that
- there will be a person who is a heretic, and his followers
- will be the cause of much human woe.
-
- How did Chuck Missler parse these letters?
