<p align="center"><i><font size="4">Luke's surprise gift to the world has finally arrived after a long and arduous journey. </font></i> </p>

<hr>
<p align="justify" style="margin: 0 125px"><font size="4">Gabriel's Gift was neatly wrapped in a package nearly two thousand years ago by a man known to biblical history as "Luke." On the wrapping, in plain sight, Luke placed thinly veiled clues that a gift of immense value was inside. He used Pythagorean and Platonic sacred numbers to prove beyond any doubt that a secret message was awaiting discovery. Numbers easily solved in each chapter prove Luke's knowledge of&nbsp; the sizes of the earth, moon, and sun; the speed of light; DNA/RNA behaviors, and other scientific knowledge rediscovered only within the last century. </font></p>
<p align="justify" style="margin: 0 125px">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin: 0 125px"><font size="4">With that hook set, a never-before-told story unfolds as Luke's coded messages reveal the buried truth about Jesus, his disciples, and the role played by the Apostle Paul during the formation of Christianity.</font></p>

This puts Greek philosophy into the hands of the people of Jesus time and location and strengthens the argument for his knowledge of, and probable indoctrination into, the ancient <i>Secret Schools</i> that taught the Pythagorean philosophy that “<i>Number is All</i>.”</font></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">For convenience Plato frequently used 22/7 as <i>pi</i>. But another value and slightly more accurate <i>pi</i> which he also used is 864/275. It takes a little more work to manually calculate the circumference of a sphere using this larger number, but sometimes it was necessary in order to reveal the “coded messages.” Using the mean diameter of the earth, 7920 miles, and this slightly more accurate value for <i>pi</i>, the results are truly amazing:</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">7920 miles x 864/275:</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">7920 times 864 = 6 842 880</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">6 842 880 divided by 275 = <b>24,883.2</b> miles.</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">Thats the very number reached after multiplying all fifteen numbers in Lukes chapter nine after the zeros are dropped from the end.</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">Every chapter in Lukes Gospel contains similarly hidden numbers. Why would Luke go to such lengths to leave “Sacred Numbers” in his gospel?</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">The answer is quite simple: Regardless of the language spoken by readers, they will have the same understanding of numbers and the various functions applied to numbers. Numbers are the </font><i><font size="4">One Universal Language. </font></i></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">It seems that a Pythagorean Master Teacher inserted the numbers into Lukes Gospel to attract attention. But why? </font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">There is just one logical answer: to send a numeric message—using the <i>One Universal Language</i>—that there is a coded, <i> written</i> message. Thats the real story. And thats where Philos <i> Rules for Allegory</i> are needed. </font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">Perhaps the most important of Philos guidelines is to watch for something unusual in the text. The first obviously “unusual” occurrence in Lukes gospel is the appearance of the Angel, Gabriel:</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">Luke 1:19: “The angel replied, I am <b>Gabriel</b>.&nbsp; I stand in the presence of God, and <b><i>I have been sent to speak to you</i></b> and to bring you this good news.’“</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">The angel Gabriel is named only four times in the Bible—twice in the book of Daniel, twice in Lukes gospel.</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">Gabriels first appearance is at Daniel 8:16, and what he says seems pertinent to this story:</font></p>
<center>

<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">“And I heard a human voice . . . calling, Gabriel, help this man understand the vision.’“</font></p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<center>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <font size="4">The numbers indicate Luke is sending a coded message; Gabriel says he has been “sent to speak,” Daniel adds that Gabriel is to “help this man understand . . .,” and the Book of Revelation ends with these words from Jesus: “I Jesus have <b><i>sent mine angel </i></b>to testify unto you these things…”</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0 135px" align="justify"> <span style="color: black"><font size="4">Could it be any clearer that Gabriel and Daniel have been assigned to “help Theophilus” understand the “allegorical messages” and why “Sacred Numbers” have been imbedded in Lukes gospel?</font></span></p>
