Temple of Yeshua
And named his son Methuselah …
Genesis 5:21-32
"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with ha-'Elohiym after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with ha-'Elohiym: and he was not; for 'Elohiym took him. And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which YHWH hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
Enoch was the seventh, Methuselah was the eighth, Lamech the ninth, and Noah was the tenth from Adam in the Genesis 5 genealogy.
Jude 1:14
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Master cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
Seven being the number of perfection: Enoch is then the typology of Yeshua. For he was "taken up" as a typology forerunner of Yeshua. Of Yeshua it is foretold:
Psalms 118:16-23
"The right hand of YHWH is exalted: the right hand of YHWH doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of YHWH. YAH hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise YHWH: This is the gate of YHWH, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. From YHWH is this; it is marvelous in our eyes."
The typology of Enoch as the seventh is therefore firstly Yeshua and not necessarily the great congregation-ekklesia. Methuselah then, being the eighth in the genealogy, is the typology of the New Temple. Eight is the number of new beginnings. The New Temple of YHWH was hidden from the ancients until Yeshua revealed it in the New Testament. Yeshua is the Chief Cornerstone of the New Temple of YHWH 'Elohiym:
Ephesians 2:19-22
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of YHWH; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yeshua Christos himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Master: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of YHWH through the Spirit."
We are the Temple of YHWH, and Yeshua is the Chief Cornerstone, and the foundation is laid upon the apostles and prophets. But a common building structure has no "chief cornerstone" because all of the cornerstones are generally identical, (except for one type) and because all other buildings have multiple corners at the top. A building that is pyramidal in shape is the only type of structure with a "chief cornerstone" (which is at the apex-top of course). This means that the foundation is the base of a pyramidal shaped structure and its top stone is the apex-chief-cornerstone. The structure of the New Temple of YHWH is pyramidal in nature with Yeshua as both the foundation and the apex-top-capstone or chief cornerstone.
Isaiah 28:14-18
"Wherefore hear the word of YHWH, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith 'Adonay YHWH: Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
And so the builders rejected the Chief Cornerstone Yeshua as foretold in the verses of Isaiah quoted above. Peter spoke through the Holy Ghost proclaiming the fulfillment of this portion of Isaiah 28 in the book of the Acts:
Acts 4:8-12
"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yeshua hoChristos of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom YHWH raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
The hardness of heart and blindness of Judah was only temporary, as is shown by the typology of Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. Enoch represents Yeshua who rose up into heaven. Methuselah and Lamech are the eighth and ninth: the two epochs of the New Temple Age. Noah, being the tenth, is thus the typology of All Israel in the very End of the Age. Yeshua began the founding of the Temple by first calling the 12 Apostles.
Luke 5:1-11
"And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of YHWH, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Yeshua, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Master. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Yeshua said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him."
Matthew 4:18-19
"And Yeshua, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
And so Yeshua told Peter that he would hence forth "catch men" rather than remain a fisherman of "the world." This is the foundation of what would later become the long prophesied promise of the Temple of YHWH which Messiah was to build when He arrived. The foundation of truth is that Christ was and is the Son of YHWH the Living: and this foundation would become the foundational rock upon which the New Temple was to be built by Meshiach:
Matthew16:15-19
"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christos, the Son of YHWH the living. And Yeshua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
At the end of this fishing story Peter goes out on his final "worldly" fishing trip, (after the resurrection of Yeshua) and his final outing was once again a dismal failure until the Master revealed himself to them again. Once more they had fished all night long and caught nothing until Yeshua directed them where to cast their nets one more time. And in so doing they hauled in a great catch. However, we read this curious statement from the Word:
John 21:11
"Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken."
Why is it explicitly stated to be "153 fishes"? This is a thing that has been debated, examined, and explained many times over but always seems to result in answers riddled with many more questions than true answers. In all the numerological and mathematical equations imaginable, and supposed spiritual connotative insights, I have yet to hear anyone state what is the true case regardless of how it affects our theology. The facts are that there was to be a New Temple built by Messiah, prophesied by the OT prophets, and its foundation was to be built on the apostles and prophets. Yeshua the Son of YHWH the living is the basis for that foundation and Peter was to be used in the founding of this New Temple of Yeshua. When Peter finally ended his "worldly" fishing trips and listened to the voice of Yeshua, his huge catch of great fishes was 153 and he was now to be a "fisher of men."
153 is the sum total of all the numbers 1-17 added together or "sum(17)"
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17 = 153
Seventeen is what is known as a "triangular number" (i.e. as above if one adds the numbers 1 through 17 to each other the sum total will be 153). This method of counting is what was once known as the ancient "pebble count" way of counting. In a similar way it is possible that the mark of the beast may be intended in this way because also the sum total of thirty six is the number: Sum(36) = 666. And because 17 is a triangular number the sum total of 17, (which adds up to 153) may then be displayed or "stacked" according to the ancient pebble count method as an equilateral triangle with sides of 17 "pebbles" each along the edges and the triangle would then contain a total of 153 "pebbles" so long as all the pebbles are equal in size and shape as displayed in the following diagram.
6 x 276 = 1656 ~ The Year of the Flood
Also in Acts 27:37 there were 276 souls aboard the ship with Paul which were all saved (because Yeshua was with Paul). So then, 153 represents the base of the Temple of Yeshua, the Temple is pyramidal in shape, and the Chief Cornerstone and "Capstone" is Yeshua the Christ. However, (as many of the pyramidologists have wrongly asserted) the New Temple is not a pyramid although it is pyramidal in nature: It is rather an equilateral tetrahedron with an equilateral triangular base.

Hosea 6:1-2
"Come, and let us return unto YHWH: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. From two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
If then Methuselah is like a typology of the New Temple, with a "153" base built up, or stacked-stationed into "969" complete with the Capstone, then it should say to us:
"When we die, then comes the judgment - and or - the judgment of YHWH comes upon this evil world." The prophesied judgment comes when the New Temple of Yeshua is fully completed and this does not mean by a secret rapture because the typology was Enoch and the same typology is of Yeshua, (not the congregation). The same is true of Elijah who was typology of Christ and Elisha his servant being the typology of the church-great-congregation receiving the double portion of the Spirit.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
(Tetragonos ~ FOUR CORNERED).
The beginning of the Wall of Holy City New Jerusalem:
Revelation 21:16-17
16 And the city lieth tetragonos, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
If the base is an equilateral triangle then its linear sides are:
12,000 + 12,000 + 12,000 = 36,000 (6 x 6 = 36).
Sum(36) = 666 (The Ezekiel 666 "Temple of A Man").
There are four equal, planar, sides of the equilateral tetrahedron, (equal to, and including the equilateral-triangular-base side,) and each of the four planar sides shares one linear edge with each of the three other "tribe-sides" of the tetrahedron.
4 x 36,000 = 144,000
The 144,000 are the "First-Fruits" which in the Greek means "the beginning of sacrifice" (Strong's #536 aparche'). This must (in some way) have something to do with the Daniel Ch. 8 "2300 evening-morning" prophecy.
2300 "evening-morning" = 1150 Literal Days? Also 2300 Atonement Days (YEARS).
11.50 x 144 = 1656: The Timing of the Flood, (destruction,) given in Genesis.
1150 x 144,000 = 1656(000000)
The 144,000 are the beginning of the salvation of ALL Israel and of the Holy City New Jerusalem that comes down out of Heaven adorned as the bride of the Lamb in Revelation 21. Yeshua said unto the Pharisees: "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." We are all one in Yeshua ~ 12 Tribes ~ 12 Apostles:
Revelation 21:22-23 KJV
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
the numbers 23, 2300, and the "odious" number 276 are prominent in the dimensions of the Holy City. The numbers 6, 276, 666, and 1656 are not then inherently "evil" (as many Biblical numerologists are wont to suggest) but more likely these numbers signify creation, death, and new life in the world of the flesh-temple. All of the "sum" number totals of the numbers up to and including sum(23) add up to 2300.

15. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16. And the city lieth tetragonos, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand at the stadion. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Even when using the shortest Greek "Stadion" measurement the entire New Jerusalem barely fits into the whole of the Middle East. This forces one to employ the "Itinerary Stadion" in such a fashion that when held in compliance with the promise to Abraham, (the land promise from the River of Egypt to the Great River Euphrates) the only way the Holy City fits properly by the measurements is in the map shown below. Even the Weymouth's New Testament Translation rounds off the stadion at 1200 miles. Stadion are increments of 600, (600 Greek "pous" or the plural "podes" for the modern equivalent of about one foot). Weymouth's employs the Greek Itinerary Stadion.
Revelation 21:16 WEY
16. The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod - it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
1 Statute Mile = 5280 Feet.
1 Itinerary Stadion = 157 meters.
(Employed in measuring the distance of a journey).
157 meters = 515.09186 feet.
1 Itinerary Stadion = 515.09186 feet.
12000 x 515.09186 = 6181102.32 feet.
6181102.32 Feet / 5280 = 1170.6631 miles.
12000 Itinerary Stadion = 1170 Miles.
1 Olympic Stadion = 176 meters (600 podes x 294mm)
176 meters = 577.4278 feet.
1 Olympic Stadion = 577.4275 feet.
12000 x 577.4278 = 6929133.6 feet.
6929133.6 Feet / 5280 = 1312.335 miles.
12000 Olympic Stadion = 1312 Miles.
1 Attic Stadion = 185 meters (600 podes x 308mm).
185 meters = 606.955 feet.
1 Attic Stadion = 606.955 feet.
12000 x 606.955 = 7283460 feet.
7283460 Feet / 5280 = 1379.443 miles.
12000 Attic Stadion = 1379 Miles.
As the crow flies: Cairo-Egypt to Abadan-Iran: 1016 Statute Miles
Even using the shortest stadion measurement the Holy City still covers more linear footage along the 30th parallel then what was promised to Abraham and his seed (which is by faith). The boundary extends past either of the two rivers involved in the Genesis 15 land promise if one edge of New Jerusalem were to be at rest at the 30th parallel, (in other words the city covers all of the known world where all of the promises took place, (that is that New Jerusalem is spread the world over, like the cities of YHWH, upon the surface of the earth, Zechariah 1). All four planar sides are in use and the northern point is at the highest peak in Europe, the Giza Pyramid to the south, etc. It is no coincidence that the Great Pyramid of Giza, (Al Jizah on the map) happens to be situated directly across the Nile River from Cairo Egypt. However, the Shatt-al Arab confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates empties into the Persian Gulf just past the Island of Abadan, (where also the ancient Ulai River of Daniel chapter 8 runs down from Shushan and joins the Shatt-al Arab) and the linear measurement from Cairo to Abadan is only a mere 1016 Statute Miles, ("as the crow flies").
34. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
