The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which comes the English spelling Jesus. The combinations of numbers in a name or phrase has actual meaning. (Scholars do not yet understand how the length was made equal to his name.) This is the earliest instance of gematria in some form in the ancient near East. But the issue remains whether this has any relevance for ancient Israel. When it comes to ancient texts that are inherently magical or purport to contain instructions for conjuring spells or demons, Wicca typically comes to mind. However, there are enchanted books from many different religious and spiritual backgrounds known as grimoires. The main focus of the Kabbalistic use of gematria is on the name of God. The tetragrammaton, or the Hebrew name of God in four letters, YHWH, was the original focus of gematria. Leeds has applied his cipher of the English alphabet to the tetragrammaton and believes there is something there. The concept of gematria numerology stems from the idea that mathematics is the universal language of nature and within it may be the keys to explaining our universe or evidence of supernatural power. Marty Leeds has taken this concept of the Kabbalistic gematria and applied it to the English language, believing that he has found a cipher in our alphabet to prove this theory. It’s been a while, and I’ve been busy with VR game development, but I took a break recently to finish working out the gematria of Brashith 1-2, and rather than write a book about it I’ve put it online and made it freely available. It’s the culmination of several years of decipherment, and the calculations for all the verses have been set out on a webpage on my Shematria site. I hope that it will provide insight into this ancient system of Hebrew mathematics that was employed by the Patriarchs to clarify and categorize their writings. Through time, many people held that the Torah holds secrets that can be revealed through gematria as well as used for predicting future events. This belief persists until today, which was established by the Michael Drasin's bestseller The Bible Code, released in 1997. The gematria calculator is not only representing all the Gematria values but also the additional properties of the number as well. The English Gematria started from the number "6" as the "a" has a value of "6".
