I trust you will find this interesting. The following is probably why God chose for Jesus to be crucified at the age of 33, and why he was raised from the dead three days later.
In it all, the Glory Of Christ is brilliant, but not obvious.
In the book Theomatics, the phrase "Glory of Christ" adds up to 3300 in Greek gematria. Also the phrase "Riches in glory in Christ Jesus" adds up to 4100. What is the probability that the following is simply a matter of chance? Between Joseph #41 and Joseph #66, the middle group of 3 groups of 33 generations each are listed and numbered below from the New Testament Biblical genealogy of Jesus.
When St. Matt ch 1 and St. Lule ch 3 are combined as a single list of generations in the genealogy of Jesus, the count is shown to be numbered between Adam #001, and Jesus #100. Those 99 named generations can be shown to consist of three groups of 33 generations each, with the middle group found between Joseph #41 (Joseph the father of Judah, found 7 generations after King David going down Nathan's branch of King David's split genealogy) and Joseph #66, the husband of the virgin Mary. Joseph #66 is found at the end of King Solomon's branch of King David's split genealogy.
I see the Glory of Christ (3300) as three groups of 33 generations in the genealogy, with Jesus having been crucified at the age of 33, and then raised from the dead on the third day later.
I see the "Riches in glory in Christ Jesus" keyed to Joseph (Joseph #41) the father of Judah, seven generations after King David going down Nathan's branch of the split genealogy of King David. The riches begins in Genesis 1:1 with respect to Hebrew gematria, where the alphabets of the first seven words of the Hebrew Torah have been added up to 2701 from it's 28 Hebrew alphabets.
As shown in Theomatics, the Greek alphabets that spell JESUS add up to 888. Also, as noted prior, the Hebrew alphabets of Genesis 1:1 add up to 2701. 2701 divided by 888 = 3.04166 for (3).Joseph(#041)Joseph(#---66) exactly bracketing the middle group of 33 generations between Joseph #041 the father of Judah, and Joseph #66 the husband of the virgin Mary #100.
In support of the above statements, the following is a numbered list of the generations as per St. Matt ch 1 and St. Luke ch 3 combined as they are recorded in the King James version of the New Testament Bible.
There are two phrases that impressed me greatly, in the book Theomatics co-authored by Jerry Lucas and Del Washburn. They are with respect to the three branches of 33 generations each that center upon Joseph #041, and the Greek alphabets interpreted "Glory Of Christ" that total 3300, and the Greek phrase interpreted "Riches in glory in Christ Jesus" that totals 4100 again with respect to Joseph #041. They are a "HIT" in this "Christmatics" Bible Code, because of Joseph #41 (ref 4100) found to be numbered as the 41st generation found 7 generations after King David, when the genealogy of Jesus as per St. Matthew ch 1 and St Luke ch 3 are combined, and so numbered. This is truly the Biblical genealogy between Adam #001, Noah #010, and Christ Jesus #100.
The numbered list below shows three groups of 33 generations exactly, with the middle group of 33 generations (i.e. Glory Of Christ @ 3300) being found between Joseph #41, and Joseph #66. Joseph #41 was the father of Judah, while Joseph #66 was the husband of the virgin Mary. Mary was the daughter of Heli #99.
In God's creation, the number 2701 from gematria of the first seven words of the Hebrew Torah have been interpreted as our Genesis 1:1 in the English ten words "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". The Greek gematria of the name JESUS total 888. 2701 divided by 888 = 3.04166, a HIT in Christmatics because 37 x 73 = 2701, and because 37 is the 12th prime number, and 73 is the 21st prime number. And because of Joseph #41 and Joseph #66 simply bracketing the middle group of 33 generations each, in the overall genealogy of Jesus #100.
As a Christian, I have been interested in the numbers of generations between Adam #001 and Christ Jesus #100 because of St. Matthew 1:17. Also, the Prophet Haggai 2:16 & 23 seems to give us clues that Zorobabel #050 (God's signet) is the last person in the Old Testament genealogy of Jesus. I believe that I have solved the riddle of Hagga 2:16, except that Canaan, the son of Arphaxad, is not listed in the Old Testament. Missing Cainan #13 in the Old Testament disrupts the mysterous numerical patterns in the numbers of generations as per St. Matt ch 1 and St. Luke ch 3, and other Biblical words.
Consider the following numbered generations according the the combination of St. Matt ch 1 and St. Luke ch 3. And also consider the reason for Cainan #13 being omitted in the Old Testament being perhaps why Canaan the younger son of Ham was cursed by Noah probably because Canaan may have been found by Ham to be having sex with a daughter, or a great-granddaughter of Noah. It states in the Old Testament that a person having sex with the wife or daughter of a husband is uncovering the nakedness of that husband (ref Lev 18 : 6 - 17). This I believe applies to the Biblical nakedness of Noah, and why Noah cursed Ham's younger son named Canaan. It is probable that this is why his name (Cainan) in St. Luke 3:36 is not found in the Old Testament Biblical genealogy that precedes Jesus.

(heap H1-H20 ref Haggai 2:16 & 23 : signet Zorobabel Pressvat 50 : So#50 & No#50)
THIS CONCEPT INDICATES THAT HELI #99 HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED MARY, WHO MARRIED Joseph #66. Joseph #66 IS ACCORDINGLY THE "(supposed) son in law" OF HELI #99. The IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
#100 : BABY JESUS IN THE (end 3rd group of (14) generations ref St. Matt. 1:17) VIRGIN WOMB OF MARY.
* NOTE: This concept further assumes that Cainan #13, son of Arphaxad #12, is a begotten son of Ham (spelled Canaan in Genesis 9:22, spelled Cainan in St. Luke 3:36). The assumption here is that Ham may have seen a sexual act of Canaan with either the wife of Noah, or with a daughter of Noah. Accordingly, that daughter or grand-daughter, or great-grand-daughter of Noah, or that wife of Noah, could have been put to death along with Canaan, having been cursed by Noah, and as per Lev 18:8 : Quote: The nakednes of thy fathers wife thou shalt not uncover : it is the fathers nakedness. unquote. The removal of the name of Canaan from the Old Testament genealogy (ref Gen. 11 : 12 & 13) is probably because of Canaan sinfully having fathered a descendant of Noah.
In Greek gematria, the phrase "Glory Of Christ" adds up to 3300. Also, the phrase "Riches in glory in Christ Jesus" adds up to 4100. In the above listing, note that the "Root Of David" ends with the father of King David, namely Jesse #33, as the 33rd generation listed. The whole listing consists of three groups of thirty-three generations each. The middle group of 33 generations each begins with Joseph #41 counting back 7 generations to King David #34, and then continuing forward after Nathan #35's brother King Solomon #35. The count resumes with King Solomon's son Robaom #36 going on to Jacob #65's son named and numbered Joseph #66. There we have the ending of King Solomon's descendants with Joseph #66 who married the virgin Mary #100. But when Cainan #13 is omitted in the numbering, both the "Glory Of Christ" in his forgiveness of sins, and all of the "Riches in glory in Christ Jesus" at first seems to be cheapened.
This concept is strengthened by the gematria of the Greek name of Jesus adding up to 888. That is because the gematria of the first seven (7) words of the Hebrew Torah (translated now as the first ten English words of the Old Testament's Genesis 1:1) add up to 2701. 2701 is the sum from gematria of the famous first seven Hebrew word's constructed from two groups of 14 Hebrew alphabets each. Fourteen in the subject/predicated portion of that first Hebrew verse, and fourteen alphabets in it's object portion. Also note that the sum of 2701 is the product of the multiplication of the 12th prime number (37 is the 12th prime number) times the 21st prime number (73 is the 21st prime number). 2701 divided by 888 = 3.04166, I.e. three branches of 33 generations keyed with the middle group of 33 generations being found exactly between Joseph #41, (Joseph #41 ie 3.041xx found 7 generations after King David going down Nathan's branch of King David's split genealogy) and Joseph #66 (I.e.Joseph 3.0xx66) found married to Heli #99's daughter the virgin Mary #100 assumed to be found at the end of King Solomon's descendants. (ref St. Luke 3:23-38)
When the above is understood, the Greek gematria from the Greek alphabets interpreted "Glory Of Christ = 3300" and "Riches in Glory in Christ Jesus = 4100" becomes questionable when Salah is recorded to be the son of Arphaxad in Genesis 11 : 12-13 rather than Cainan being recorded as the son of Arphaxad in St. Luke 3:36. (It appears now that Cainan, son of Arphaxad, has not been found recorded in the earliest copies of our New Testament records prior to about the time of about 220 AD.)
Also, the grouping of three groups of seven generations each between Adam #01 and Abraham #21 are broken up when Cainan #13, son of Arphaxad #12 is missing. Accordingly, the sacrifice that Abraham offered to God of three each three year old animals each cut in half, and a pigeon and a turtle dove both whole upon the altar, no longer fits numerically perfect with Noah #10 and his wife as the pigeon, and the three sons (Shem, Ham, and Japheth all of the #11th generation) of Noah and their wives as the whole turtle dove, all safe at the time of the great flood in Noah's ark. There were nine generations each prior to Noah and his wife, but according to the Old Testament Bible, there were only eight generations each after Noah's three sons and their wives, prior to Abraham. But when Cainan #13 is added according to Luke 3:36, then there are also nine generations each (3 x 3 = 9) after Noah's three sons prior to Abraham, and Abraham's brutal sacrifice. It appears that St. Luke understood that Abraham's sacrifice was a blood covenant between he and God covering all past and future generations . Accordingly, obedient animal sacrifices between Adam #01 and Christ Jesus #100 were needed for the covering of those sins. Thankfully, Jesus is our savior, as the Lamb Of God. He shed His blood in payment for all the sins of the world that were confessed to Him via the animal sacrifices in the time BC, or confessed by us in the AD years, by our faith realizing the graceful forgiveness of God.
I propose that the Grace of God is stronger than His curse of sin to all of mankind according to the shed blood of the Lamb Of God : Jesus Christ, to the Glory of Christ, and to the Riches in glory in Christ Jesus to all those who believe. Jesus Saves.
