THE FOUR CREATURES RESPOND TO THE OPENING OF THE FIRST FOUR SEALS- THIS IS THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN- THE FOUR CREATURES RESPOND TO THE FIRST FOUR SEALS- THE FIRST FOUR HE SAYS "WHEN THE LAMB OPENED THE SEAL"- THE NEXT THREE HE DOES NOT SAY THAT- THE NEXT THREE SEALS get a response by an earthquake and other things
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…
6 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

THE NEXT CHAPTER AGAIN CONSTANT REPETITON OF FOUR REVELATIONS--- THE FOUR ANGELS IN THE FOUR CORNERS FOUR WINDS-16 TIMES 9 IS 144 AND THE REPETITON OF FFOURS IN THE 144
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+7&version=NIV
144,000 Sealed
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
SO CHECK THIS OUT THIS IS WHAT I MEAN BY THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN- I ALREADY POSTED THE BOOK THAT WAS JUNGIAN THAT LOOKED OVER MYTHOLOGIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AFRICA ASIA EVERYWHERE AND SHOWED THAT HTEY ALL FOLLOWED THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN WHERE THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT BUT THE FOUR ARE IN A GROUP AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER THREE THAT ARE DIFFERENT FOUR PLUS THREE- MAKING SEVEN AS A FOUR PLUS THREE
LOOK AT THE NEXT CHAPTER IN REVELATIONS--- IT ENDS ON THE FOURTH ANGEL- CLEARLY DELINEATING A FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN- IT GOES THROUGH A SERIES OF THE FOUR ANGELS--- THEN IT STOPS AND THE GUY TALKS ABOUT AN EAGLE AND A PAUSE AND THEN HE IS GOING TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT THREE- MAKING THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN- CLEARLY EXPRESSING THE QUADRANT NATURE WHERE THERE IS A PAUSE BEFORE THE NEXT QUADRANT

The Trumpets
6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Footnotes:
AGAIN IN THE BIBLE THERE IS A CONSTANT CONTINUOUS REPETITION OF FOUR- LIKE IN PRETTY MUCH ALL OTHER HOLY TEXTS--- IT IS DOMINANT- OTHER NUMBERS ARE MENTIONED WHEN FOUR PRESENTS ITSELF AS DOMINANT- EVEN THE SEVENS ARE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERNS
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+8&version=NIV
SO THE SEALS IN REVELATIONS ARE OPENED IN A FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN- THE FOUR BEASTS RESPOND TO THE FIRST FOUR SEALS THEN THE NEXT THREE ARE DIFFERENT- THEN THERE IS THE FOUR TRUMPET SOUNDS- THE FIRST FOUR BLAST THEN THERE IS A PAUSE AND THERE IS AN EAGLE THAT MAKES A SOUND TELLING YOU TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT THREE- MAKING A CUT OFF AT THE FOUR- THE FOUR PLUS THREE- AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT CHAPTER TO GET TO THE NEXT THREE
I POSTED A LONG TIME AGO AND ITS ON MY TIMELINE THE BOOK THAT SHOWED THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTERN EVERYWHERE IN MYTHOLOGY- THE FOUR REMAINS DOMINANT- EVEN THE FOUR EXPRESSES ITSELF IN THE SEVEN
SO THERE IS SEVEN ANGELS- THEY ARE EXPRESSED IN THE FOUR PLUS THREE PATTENR- THE FIRST FOUR ANGELS ARE IN THE FIRST CHAPTER- THEN THERE IS A PAUSE AND AN EAGLE THAT SIGNALS TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT THREE---- SO THE FOUR EVEN IN THE SEVEN EXPRESSES ITSELF AND REMAINS DOMINANT- THE FIRST FOUR ANGELS BEING DIVIDED FROM THE OTHER THREE--- THEN EVEN THE SIXTH ANGEL ITSELF- EXPRESSING THE DOMINANCE OF THE FOUR- RELEASES FOUR ANGELS ITSELF FROM THE FOUR HORNS OF THE GOLDEN ALTAR IS A VOICE SAYING TO "RELEASLE THE FOUR ANGELS WHO HAD BEEN KEPT READY FOR THIS DAY"- AGAIN THE FOUR IS EXPRESSING ITS DOMINANCE EVEN WHEN OTHER NUMBERS ARE BEING MENTIONED- IN FACT OTHER NUMBERS ARE BEING MENTIONED BECAUSE THE FOUR HAS EXPRESSED ITS DOMINANCE

13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT I LEARNED THIS FROM A CHURCH I ATTENDED THAT SAW ROME AS THE ANTICHRIST- THE CHURCH ALSO WORSHIPPED A MOTHER GODDESS- BUT THEY POINTED OUT THAT IN DANIEL THERE IS FOUR BEASTS AND THE FOURTH BEAST IS DIFFERENT AN AMALGAMATION OF THE PREVIOUS THREE- SIMILARLY IN REVELATION THERE IS FOUR BEASTS AND THE FOURTH BEAST "RESEMBELD A LEAPORD", "HAD FEET LIKE THOSE OF A BEAR", AND "A MOUTH LIKE THAT OF A LION"---- WELL THE LEAPORD AND THE BEAR AND THE LION ARE THE FIRST THREE BEASTS IN DANIEL- recall the fourht beast was an amalgamation of the first three but also different that is the quadrant pattern- SO THE FOURTH BEAST WHICH THIS CHURCH TAUGHT WAS ROME IS AN AMALGAMATION OF THE FIRST THREE BEASTS OF DANIEL THE FIRST THREE KINGDOMS- THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT YET CONTAINS THE PREVIOUS THREE- THE QUADRANT PATTERN WHERE THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT YET CONTAINS THE PREVIOUS THREE- THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS TEACH THE SAME THING ABOUT THE FOURTH BEAST THEY SAY IT IS AN AMALGAMATION OF THE FIRST THREE BEASTS THE FIRST THREE KINGDOMS
The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
THE NEXT CHAPTER AGAIN HAS A LOT OF REPETITIONS OF FOUR- THE 144 THOUSAND- which is also 16 times 9- THE FOUR LVIING CREATURES AND THE FOUR AND 20 ELDERS (this tranlsation says 24 but originally it was 4 and 20)- yes there is a mention of "the three angels" in this chapter- that is fine the four already established its dominance in the first chapter- it is ok for a "three angels" to be said
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+14&version=NIV
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
THE FOUR CREATURES PRAISE "AMEN HALLELUJAH" (PRAISE THE TETRAGRAMMATON)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19&version=NIV
WHAT IS VERY INTERESTING IS THAT THE TITLE OF THE NEXT CHAPTER IS "THREEFOLD HALLELUJAH OVER BABYLONS FALL"- BUT THREE IS NOT MENTIONED ONE TIME IN THE WHOLE CHAPTER!- THE TITLE WAS NOT WRITTEN DOWN BY JOHN THE TITLE WAS WRITTEN BY A CHURCH AUTHORITY WHO GAVE THE TITLE "THREEFOLD HALLELUJAH" MAYBE WISHING TO LINK THE THREEFOLD TO THE TRINITY- WHICH IS FINE BUT THE NUMBER THREE IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE CHAPTER- THE NUMBER FOUR IS MENTIONED- NO OTHER NUMBER BUT FOUR IS MENTIONED----
ANYWAYS HALLELUJAH ITSELF MEANS "PRAISE THE TETRAGRAMMATON" TETRA IS FOUR
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:
“Amen, Hallelujah!”
IN THE NEXT CHAPTER NO NUMBER IS MENTIONED BUT FOUR
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+20&version=NIV
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
THE BOOK OF DANIEL (LIKE EVERY BOOK OF THE BIBLE IS FILLED WITH FOURS)- IT BEGINS WITH THE FOUR FRIENDS- DANIEL AND HIS THREE ISRAELITE FRIENDS- THEN THERE IS THE STATUE OF NEBUKENEZZAR MADE OF FOUR METALS- THEN THERE IS THE DREAM SYMBOLIZING THE FOUR KINGDOMS THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT- THEN THERE IS THE FOUR BEASTS THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT AND TRANSCENDS THE PREVIOUS THREE- THEN THERE IS THE TWO HORNS REPLACED BY FOUR HORNS- THERE IS THE THREE MEN THROWN INTO THE FURNACE AND THE FOURTH FIGURE THAT APPEARS LIKE THE SON OF MAN (THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_(biblical_figure)
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, Daniel and his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were among the young Jewish nobility carried off to Babylon following the capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.[9] The four are chosen for their intellect and beauty to be trained in the Babylonian court, and are given new names. Daniel is given the Babylonian name Belteshazzar, while his companions are given the Babylonian names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Daniel and his friends refuse the food and wine provided by the king of Babylon to avoid becoming defiled. They receive wisdom from God and surpass "all the magicians and enchanters of the kingdom." Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a giant statue made of four metals with feet of mingled iron and clay, smashed by a stone from heaven. Only Daniel is able to interpret it: the dream signifies four kingdoms, of which Babylon is the first, but God will destroy them and replace them with his own kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great tree that shelters all the world and of a heavenly figure who decrees that the tree will be destroyed; again, only Daniel can interpret the dream, which concerns the sovereignty of God over the kings of the earth. When Nebuchadnezzar's son King Belshazzar uses the vessels from the Jewish temple for his feast, a hand appears and writes a mysterious message on the wall, which only Daniel can interpret; it tells the king that his kingdom will be given to the Medes and Persians, because Belshazzar, unlike Nebuchadnezzar, has not acknowledged the sovereignty of the God of Daniel. The Medes and Persians overthrow Nebuchadnezzar and the new king, Darius the Mede, appoints Daniel to high authority. Jealous rivals attempt to destroy Daniel with an accusation that he worships God instead of the king, and Daniel is thrown into a den of lions, but an angel saves him, his accusers are destroyed, and Daniel is restored to his position.
In the third year of Darius, Daniel has a series of visions. In the first, four beasts come out of the sea, the last with ten horns, and an eleventh horn grows and achieves dominion over the Earth and the "Ancient of Days" (God) gives dominion to "one like a son of man". An angel interprets the vision. In the second, a ram with two horns is attacked by a goat with one horn; the one horn breaks and is replaced by four. A little horn arises and attacks the people of God and the temple, and Daniel is informed how long the little horn's dominion will endure. In the third, Daniel is troubled to read in holy scripture (the book is not named but appears to be Jeremiah) that Jerusalem would be desolate for 70 years. Daniel repents on behalf of the Jews and requests that Jerusalem and its people be restored. An angel refers to a period of 70 sevens (or weeks) of years. In the final vision, Daniel sees a period of history culminating in a struggle between the "king of the north" and the "king of the south" in which God's people suffer terribly; an angel explains that in the end the righteous will be vindicated and God's kingdom will be established on Earth.
Daniel (Arabic: دانيال, Danyal), is not mentioned in the Qur'an, but there are accounts of his prophet-hood in later Muslim literature. He was carried off to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem, where he was rescued from lions with the aid of the prophet Jeremiah. (In Bel and the Dragon it is the prophet Habakkuk who plays this role). Another source (Tabiri) retells how Daniel interpreted the king's dream of a statue made of four metals destroyed by a rock from heaven.[17] All sources, both classical and modern, describe Daniel as a saintly and righteous man. Abdullah Yusuf Ali in his Qur'anic commentary says:
THE FOUR YOUNG MEN GOD GAVE KNOWLEDGE TO- DANIEL CHAPTER 1- OTHER NUMBERS ARE NOT MENTIONED OTHER THAN FOUR
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+1
11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
THE NEXT CHAPTER OF DANIEL DISCUSSES THE FOUR KINGDOMS OF DANIELS DREAM WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THE FOUR PARTS OF THE STATUE- THE FIRST IS GOLD (FIRST SQUARE ALWAYS NICE) SECOND SILVER- SECOND STILL GOOD- THIRD IS BRONZE- BRONZE IS BAD AND VERY SOLID PHYSICAL THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE THIRD SQUARE---- THE FOURTH IS IRON--- THE FOURTH IS TRANSCCENDNET--- THE DREAM ONLY MENTIONS FOUR PARTS FOUR KINGDOMS THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT- The iron becomes mixed with clay- the fourth and the fifth are always connected- fourth always points to the fifth- like gravity and dark energy- gravity is the different fourth force and scientists say that dark energy might just be gravity that is not understood- the fourth indicates the nature of the fifth
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2&version=NIV
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
SO FAR NO OTHER NUMBERS OTHER THAN FOUR ARE BEING MENTIONED- I SHOWED HOW THIS WAS THE PHENOMENON IN THE TALMUD AND THE AMERINIDAN MYTHS IT IS THE PHENOMENON IN HINDU MYTHOLOGY IN ALL MYTHOLOGY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD- THE NEXT CHAPTER OF DANIEL DANIELS THREE FRIENDS ARE THOWN INTO FIRE AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAYS "WEREN'T THERE THREE MEN THAT WE TIED UP AND THREW INT OTHE FIRE?" ... "LOOK I SEE FOUR MEN WALKING AROUND IN THE FIRE, UNBOUND AND UNHARMED, AND THE FOURTH LOOKS LIKE A SON OF THE GODS". THE FOURTH IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT- SO FAR IN EVERY CHAPTER OF DANIEL THE QUADRANT PATTERN HAS BEEN ELUCIDATED WHERE THE FOURHT IS DIFFERENT- NO OTHER NUMBERS HAVE BEEN BEING MENTIONEd
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+3&version=NIV
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”
They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”
25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”
THE QUADRANT PATTERN- DANIEL SAYS THE FOURTH BEAST "WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER FORMER BEASTS"- THE FOURTH IS ALWAYS TRANSCENDENT- it has iron teeth like the fourth iron part of Nebuchadnezzar's
statue
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+7&version=NIV
AGAIN SO FAR NO OTHER NUMBER HAS BEEN BEING MENTIONED OTHER THAN FOUR IN DANIEL- AGAIN THE NEXT CHAPTER IS THE FOUR BEASTS AND THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT- THE FIRST THREE BEASTS ARE DESCRIBED AS ANIMALS AND HE JUST MENTIONS THEM- BUT THE FOURTH ONE HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE AN ANIMAL TO DESCRIBE IT IS DIFFERENT AND HE SAYS IT IS "TERRIFYING AND FRIGHTENING AND VERY POWERFUL"- the fourth is always transcendent DANIEL EVEN SAYS "IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER FORMER BEASTS"
Daniel’s Dream of Four Beasts
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.
2 Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
4 “The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.
5 “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’
6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
DANIEL THEN INTERPRETS THE DREAM OF THE FOUR BEASTS AND SAYS THEY REPRESENT FOUR KINGDOMS- THE FOURTH DIFFERENT
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+7&version=NIV
“So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: 17 ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. 18 But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’
19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. 21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[b]
WE ARE ON THE NINTH CHAPTER OF DANIEL- SO FAR EVERY CHAPTER HAS ONLY TALKED ABOUT FOUR AND EMPHASIZED FOUR- FINALLY DANIEL MENTIONS 7- but he mentions it first in terms of seven sevens which is a quadrant of sevens
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+9&version=NIV
AGAIN IN THE BIBLE SEVENS ARE DEPICTED AS FOUR PLUS THREES AND THAT IS THE CASE IN MYTHOLOGY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
In the next chapter Daniel finally mentions another number other than four, 7, but he describes 7 7s- Seven 7s is 49- 49 is a square number- that is a quadrant of seven
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
IN THE NEXT CHAPTER DANIEL HAS A VISION OF A RAM AND A GOAT AND AGAIN THE ONLY NUMBER THAT IS SAID AND EMPHASIZED IS THE NUMBER FOUR- THE GOATS HORN IS BROKEN OFF AND BECOMES FOUR PROMMINENT HORNS THAT GROW TOWARDS THE FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN- DANIEL SAYS THAT THE FOUR HORNS REPRESENT FOUR KINGDOMS THAT WILL EMERGE FROM HIS NATION- NO OTHER NUMBER IS MENTIONED IN THE CHAPTER- AGAIN SO FAR IN DANIEL ONLY THE NUMBER FOUR HAS BEEN MENTIONED AND IT HAS BEEN EMPHASIZED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THE QUADRANT PATTERN WHERE THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+8&version=NIV
The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.
19 He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.[c] 20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king. 22 The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.
THE THIRD BEAST THE LEAPORD HAD FOUR WINGS AND FOUR HEADS AGAIN EMPHASIZING THE FOUR EVEN WITHIN THE FOUR BEASTS
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+7&version=NIV
6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF DANIEL THE ONLY NUMBER MENTINED AGAIN IS FOUR- ACTUALLY ITS A QUADRANT PATTERN WHERE THE FOURTH IS DIFFERENT FORM THE PREVIOUS THREE- DANIEL SAYS "THREE MORE KINGS WILL ARISE IN PERSIA, AND THEN A FOURTH, WHO WILL BE FAR RICHER THAN THE OTHERS"--- AGAIN THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT- AGAIN NO OTHER NUMBERS HAVE BEEN BEING MENTIONED IN DANIEL ONLY THE NUMBER FOUR AND THE QUADRANT PATTERN- THAT IS THE CASE IN MYTHOLOGIES FROM MOST EVERY CULTURE
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+11&version=NIV
The Kings of the South and the North
2 “Now then, I tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases. 4 After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted and given to others.
LETS LOOK AT EZEKIEL AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ALSO SEE HOW THE NUMBER FOUR AND THE QUADRANT PATTERN DOMINATES AS WELL- ONE EXAMPLE IS HE GOES INTO THE WATER FIRST UP TO LEGS THEN WAIST THEN CHEST THEN ALL THE WAY- THE FOUR IS DOMINANT- THE FOURTH IS TRANSCENDENT
THIS IS THE FAMOUS MERKABA (MERK) VISION OF 16 FACES- 16 SQUARES IN THE QUADRANT MODEL
IT IS THE FOURTH MONTH AND EZEKIEL SEES A VISION OF GOD (IT IS 16 FACES A 16 SQUARE QUADRANT MODEL)-- HE SEES FOUR CREATURES EACH WITH FOUR FACES- AND HE KEEPS REPEATING FOURS- THEY HAD FOUR SIDES- AND THEY HAD FOUR WINGS- IN THE FOUR DIRECTIONS THEY HAD FOUR FACES (MAKING 16 IN ALL A QUADRANT MODEL)- THE FOUR FACES WERE A MAN LION OX AND AN EAGLE- THERE WERE FOUR WHEELS AND THEY MOVED TOWARDS THE FOUR DIRECTIONS--- ultimately I described that there were four levels to the Merkaba made of four different types of beings- the fourth transcendent
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+1&version=NKJV
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions[a] of God.
4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures[c] was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures[d] was in the wheels.
IN EZEKIELS MERKABA VISION NO OTHER NUMBER IS MENTIONED OTHER THAN FOUR
Right now I am at Ezekiel 6 there is really no numbers being mentioned at all except very large numbers in the hundres- So so far only the number four has been emphasized in Ezekiel
I AM ON EZEKIEL 10 RIGHT NOW- THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF MENTIONS OF LARGE NUMBERS ABOVE 20 AND ABOVE 100 BUT SO FAR ONLY THE NUMBER FOUR HAS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES AND THE NUMBER 6 HAS BEEN SAID ONCE--- AGAIN IN EZEKIEL 10 EZEKIEL RETURNS TO THE MERKABA AND THE FOURS- THE 16 FACES THE QUARANT MODEL 16 SQUARES
FOUR WHEELS- FOUR DIRECTIONS THE FOUR HAD EYES FOUR FACES THE FOURTH FACE DIFFERENT FOUR WINGS
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+10&version=NKJV
9 And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 11 When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. 12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.”
14 Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 17 When the cherubim[b] stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one[c] was lifted up, the other[d] lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
20 This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. 21 Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.

The Titanic had four chimneys, the fourth (at the back) was not a smoke outlet, but served mainly to make the ship look good. Ships with four chimneys were very popular with the media and ship travellers at that time (all tinsel and glitter) and it was also used for ventilation of the boiler room and machine rooms as well as the kitchens with the coal stove. By this, the Titanic required significantly less fans on deck as comparable ships.
IN EZEKIEL 46 SIX IS MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT BUT ALSO FOUR IS MENTIONED A LOT- SINCE FOUR IS MENTIONED A LOT SIX IS MENTIONED A LOT BUT FOUR STILL DOMINANT- inlcuding 40

21 Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and in fact, in every corner of the court there was another court. 22 In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; all four corners were the same size. 23 There was a row of building stones all around in them, all around the four of them; and cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around. 24 And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where the ministers of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”

3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.
So in Ezekiel four was by far mentioned the most and other numbers were mentioned but rarely- I saw some "seven days" and "seven months" mentioned. There was a few sixes. There was a lot of very large numbers said like 25 or 40005 and stuff like that but four was said the most and the other numbers were really only said when giving coordinates like "the wall shalll be five cubits high and three cubits wide

JEWISH TRADITIONS FOUR MESSIANIC FIGURES- A LOT OF MESSIANIC JEWS ARGUE THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH BEN JOSEPH AND THE OTHER MESSIAHS ARE YET TO COME
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_ben_Joseph
Jewish tradition alludes to four messianic figures. Called the Four Craftsmen, each will be involved in ushering in the Messianic age. They are mentioned in the Talmud and the Book of Zechariah. Rashi in his commentary on the Talmud gives more details. Rashi explains that Messiah ben Joseph is called a craftsman because he will help rebuild the temple.[3] Nahmanides also commented on Messiah ben Joseph's rebuilding of the temple.[4][5] The roles of the Four Craftsmen are as follows. Elijah will be the herald of the eschaton.[6] If necessary, Messiah ben Joseph will wage war against the evil forces and die in combat with the enemies of God and Israel.[7] According to Saadia Gaon the need for his appearance will depend on the spiritual condition of the Jewish people.[8] In the Sefer Zerubbabel and later writings, after his death a period of great calamities will befall Israel.[7] God will then resurrect the dead and usher in the Messianic Era of universal peace. Messiah ben David will reign as a Jewish king during the period when God will resurrect the dead. With the ascendancy of Rabbinic Judaism the Righteous Priest has largely not been the subject of Jewish messianic speculation.[9]: 87–89 Most Jews believe that the Third Temple will be built during this era.
ZECHARIAH IS ANOTHER PROPHET IN THE BIBLE- HE REPEATS THE QUADRANT PATTERN A LOT TOO FOR INSTANCE HE NAMES FOUR COLORS OF HORSES THE FOURTH IS SPOTTED AND CONTAINS THE PREVIOUS THREE- THE TRANSCENDENT FOURTH- HE ALSO TALKS ABOUT THE FOUR CARPENTERS AND THE FOUR HORNS- RABBIS INTERPRETED THE FOUR CARPENTERS AS FOUR MESSIAHS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horns_and_Four_Craftsmen
The Four horns and Four carpenters are a vision found in Book of Zechariah, in Zechariah 1:21 in traditional English texts. In Hebrew texts 1:18-21 is numbered 2:1-4. The vision precedes the vision of A Man With a Measuring Line.
Hebrew Bible text[edit]
Zechariah 2: 1 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 2 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 3 And the Lord shewed me four carpenters. 4 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. TaNaK.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt2302.htm
In the Talmud[edit]
The four craftsmen are discussed in Babylonian Talmud Suk. 52b. Rav Hana bar Bizna attributed to Rav Simeon Hasida the identification of these four craftsmen as Messiah ben David, Messiah ben Joseph, Elijah, and the Righteous Priest.[1] However David Kimchi interpreted the four craftsmen as four kingdoms.[2]
In later interpretation[edit]
The imagery of craftsmen is generally considered as "smiths", able to master the four iron horns, as symbolizing nations used as instruments of divine power for the destruction of Israel's enemies.[3][4]
IN THE REST OF AMOS NO OTHER NUMBERS ARE REALLY MENTIONED- HE DOESNT MENTION NUMBERS AFTER THAT AFTER THAT HE JUST KEEPS SAYING ALL OF THE SINS THAT WERE COMITTED AND HOW THE NATIONS WILL BE DESTROYED- BUT HE STARTS OFF BY CONTINUOUSLY REPEATING THE QUADRANT PATTERN IN THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF AMOS
SO I WENT THROUGH ALL OF ZECHARIAH- FOUR WAS MENTIONED MANY TIMES AND THE TIMES IT WAS MENTIONED IT WAS VERY IMPORANT- SEVEN WAS MENTIONED A COUPLE TIMES LIKE IT SAID THAT THE TETRAGRAMMATON HAS 7 EYES THAT RANGE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD- STILL FOUR DOMINANT BECAUSE THEY ARE SEVEN EYES OF THE TETRA- THE TETRA FOUR ALREADY ESTABLISHED ITS DOMINANCE SO THE SEVEN CAN BE SAID
FOUR APPROACHES TO REVELATIONS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschatology
The Book of Revelation is at the core of Christian eschatology. The study of Revelation is usually divided into four interpretative methodologies or hermeneutics. In the Futurist approach, Revelation is treated mostly as unfulfilled prophecy taking place in some yet undetermined future. This is the approach which most applies to eschatological studies[citation needed]. In the Preterist approach, Revelation is chiefly interpreted as having prophetic fulfillment in the past, principally, the events of the first century CE, such as the struggle of Christianity to survive the persecutions of the Roman Empire, the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE, and the desecration of the Temple in the same year. In the Historicist approach, Revelation provides a broad view of history, and passages in Revelation are identified with major historical people and events. In the Idealist (or Spiritualist or Symbolic) approach, the events of Revelation are neither past nor future, but are purely symbolic, dealing with the ongoing struggle and ultimate triumph of good over evil.

The book of Malachi is divided into three chapters in the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint and four chapters in the Latin Vulgate. The fourth chapter in the Vulgate consists of the remainder of the third chapter starting at verse 3:19.
In the course of the book's three or four chapters, Yahweh is vindicated while those who do not adhere to the law of Moses are condemned. Some scholars have suggested that the book, as a whole, is structured along the lines of a judicial trial, a suzerain treaty or a covenant—one of the major themes throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Implicit in the prophet's condemnation of Israel's religious practices is a call to keep Yahweh's statutes.

JEWS BELIEVE IN THE FOUR EXILES- FOUR FACTIONS OF JEWS
These times of national displacement are known in Hebrew as galut, exile. The four primary periods of exile are known as “arba galuyot” (the four exiles).1
The Four Exiles
The prophet Daniel had a vision that subtly hints to the four exiles of the Jewish nation:
I saw in my vision by night...four great beasts…The first was like a lion...and behold, another beast, a second one, similar to a bear…Afterwards I beheld, and there was another, similar to a leopard…After that, as I looked on in the night vision, there was a fourth beast—fearsome, dreadful and very powerful.8
In Daniel's prophecy, each creature symbolizes an exile that the Jewish people were to undergo. The first was Babylon, the second Media/Persia, the third Greece, and finally Edom, commonly identified as Rome.9
The Jewish people during that time were split into four factions: the Pharisees, Sadducees, Sicarii and Zealots. Some of these groups began rebelling against the mighty empire.
All opinions agree with the identities of the first three exiles, as they are clearly inferred from the book of Daniel.17 The controversy revolves around the identity of the fourth and final exile, which is referred to as “Edom.”
All the sages agree that the word “Edom” typically refers to the Romans.18 However, there are certain prophecies in which the word “Edom” is used, not necessarily in reference to Rome, but in reference to other nations, such as in Daniel’s prophecy.
Bearing this in mind, Avraham Ibn Ezra believes that the fourth kingdom to place the Jewish people in exile (“Edom”) were the Yishma’eilim, i.e.,those who follow Islam. The reasoning behind this is that the fourth animal in Daniel’s prophecy is described as a fearsome and powerful beast, and he viewed the Islamic rulership as the most severe towards the Jews.19
In contrast to this, Nachmanides maintains that the Empire of Rome was the last exile the Jewish people endured. Nachmanides explains that the four kingdoms are not defined by their power or strength, but by the fact that they placed the Jews in exile in the first place. He comes to this conclusion because, despite the many other threats to our existence that came after the Romans, we have not yet been redeemed from this specific exile.20,21
In his work Ner Mitzvah, the Maharal of Prague observes that though the Islamic empire was a "strong and mighty" nation, it is not included among the four exiling empires. He explains that the four empires included in the count actually wrested kingship and power from Israel, thus enabling these nations to delay the redemption. For as long as they ruled, the nation of Israel’s dominion was not restored.
NOTICE THE FOURTH TIME IS DIFFERENT- THE FIRST THREE TIMES THE LORD DOES NOES NOT RESPOND- THE FOURTH TIME RESPONSE AND IT WAS AT THE FOURTH TIME ELI KNEW THE LORD WAS CALLING HIM
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+10&version=NIV
2It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well), 3and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was, 4that the LORD called Samuel; and he said, “Here I am.” 5Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he answered, “I did not call, my son, lie down again.” 7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor had the word of the LORD yet been revealed to him. 8So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy. 9And Eli said to Samuel, “Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” 11The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12“In that day I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13“For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them. 14“Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”
FOUR GENERATIONS
http://ajuede.blogspot.com/2016/12/four-generations-before-creation-of-adam.html
The calculation of the period estimated as a generation had been very difficult to historians, but from certain indications it was possible that generations can be actually estimated. One finds it very difficult calculating periods of generations when he pays attention to numbers. Generations are not arithmetical and cannot be understood numerically. From the observation of Dan Brown, a generation is a period of twenty years. This figure was achieved as a credible point that benefits his analysis of the human nature as related to the supreme beings. The assertion in the Bible faults this claim. To prove this, let us consider the scripture below.
And He said unto Abram, know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full (Genesis.15:13&16).
Now, by arithmetic, four hundred years should be equivalent to four generations since the Israelites were to stay for four generations. And by such position, one may easily divide four hundred years by four generations to get the exact figure that describes the number of years in a generation. I believe such a division would give us a hundred years as a generation. This directly faults the calculation of Dan Brown as indicated above. Yet, a hundred years is still not proper for a generation as the definition of the term claims. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a generation is
a: a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor
b : a group of individuals born and living contemporaneously
c : a group of individuals having contemporaneously a status (as that of students in a school) which each one holds only for a limited period
From the definitions above, it is apparent that generations are periodic, not figurative. Generations are measured by the period of time a person or a group of persons, an institution or a set of institutions, a worker or a set of workers etcetera has lasted. A generation can only be figuratively estimated when it is based on a stipulated time for a change to occur particularly in a particular archive. Creation, for instance, is an archive and it can only be measured accurately by generations. In the book of Matthew 1:17, it is discovered that, to God, a generation is significant with fourteen. Invariably, fourteen generations is a complete cycle and forms an archive in the human history. Significant with the birth of Christ, three complete cycles were achieved in the human history from the days of Abraham. We may follow this assertion to say that the world had lasted for five complete cycles at AD 0001. And according to Matthew 1:18, “the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise”.
The world lasted for fourteen generations before the destruction of its contents in the days of the Noah flood. After the flood, the generation of man did not have a complete cycle until the calling of Abraham. Abraham opened a new stage in the archive of God. Therefore, from his days the ministry of fourteen resumed. Going from this view, Afigbo may be considered to have asserted that the earth had lasted for four generations before the creation of Adam. And to him, the first generation was glorious nevertheless, but the fourth generation was much more glorious. His assertion aligned with the records in some ancient sacred books when he stated that the fourth generation was highly kingless and perfect. There is a clear indication here about the interwoven relationship amidst the inhabitants of the earth and God the creator. God had been involved in the business of creation, recreating and refurbishing the earth with the primary intention to achieve a perfect world. The mystery behind the shift of God’s intention in the fourth generation which led to the creation of Adam and the complication revolving around the difficulties in understanding the story which Moses told in Genesis shall be considered in progress.
FOUR ASPECTS CHUKWU CREATOR GOD IGBO
http://ajuede.blogspot.com/2016/12/four-generations-before-creation-of-adam.html
Chukwu (Chi-ukwu) is the Great Creator of all beings, forces and things both visible and invisible. The Great Creator has four major aspects which are manifestations of his existence. First, Chukwu is Anyanwu, which symbolically means the sun. As the sun’s light is everywhere so Chukwu is everywhere; as the sun is powerful so Chukwu is all-powerful; as the sun is the light that reveals things so Chukwu is the source of all knowledge. Secondly Chukwu is Agbala (Ani/Ala) which is manifested in the fertility of the earth and beings that inhabit it. Thirdly Chukwu is chi which is manifested in the power and ability of living beings to procreate themselves from generation to generation. Fourthly, Chukwu is Okike, that is creation, and is manifested in the creation of everything visible and invisible, which is a never-ending process. Chukwu as Okike created the laws that govern the visible and invisible. (Nri Hegemony. 31).
FOUR GENERATIONS BEFORE ADAM
http://ajuede.blogspot.com/2016/12/four-generations-before-creation-of-adam.html
(1) The Generation of the Sons of God.
Our observations showed that before the birth of Adam, the world had existed for four generations which we cannot accurately estimate in year. Because the number of years in a particular generation is never proportional to another, we cannot assume or project any skeptical record for the estimation of the four generations. The generations from the first to the fourth generation had significant experiences. Of course, there was a little problem in understanding the dominant situations accrued to these generations because of the succinct stories contained in many archives. Above all the controversies in the different creation stories, one thing has remained paramount. All the archives made mention of the generation (or race) of the sons of God. Where they were not thus called, they were referred to as the Kingless race. In some cases they were called the children of the Sun. In The Great Book of the Sons of Fire, for instance, we find issues connected to these earliest settlers on the earth before carnality was invented. From the scroll of “Kerobal Pakthermin” we found the following,
THE FOURTH GENERATION BEING DIFFERENT AND THE FOUR RACES NAG HAMMADI
http://ajuede.blogspot.com/2016/12/four-generations-before-creation-of-adam.html
According to The Great Book of the Sons of Fire, the fourth generation of the sons of God was described as people who lived in “the Land of Marshes and Mists, the Lands of the East”. They were called the kingless generation because they had no king over them. Nag Hammadi spoke of this generation thus:
Then the saviour created […] of them all – and the spirits of these [are manifestly] superior, being blessed and varying in election – and also (he created) many other beings, which have no king and are superior to everyone that was before them. Consequently, four races exist. There are three that belong to the kings of the eighth heaven. But the fourth race is kingless and perfect, being the highest of all. (PP. 124-5).
Nag Hammadi puts it straight for us to understand the position of the fourth generation or race above the first three generations. They were the most glorious generation among the sons of God. At another page the position of the fourth generation was restated.
There are four generations, three generations belong to the kings of the eighth heaven, and the fourth generation, which is the most exalted, is kingless and perfect. These people will enter the holy place of their Father and they will reside in rest … They are kings. They are the immortal within the mortal. (p. 219).

Populous among these symbols is the two concentric chalices (an “X” shape) which have philosophical principles drawn forms the Igbo pillar of existence. According to Nnaji, the number ‘four’ forms the Igbo pillar of existence with empirical concept drawn from the creation myths. It embodies the concept of life and existence in the Igbo cosmology.
