Commentary: When Jesus answered Peter’s question, he took the opportunity to announce his signature number 77. In his Mat 1:17 genealogy, 14 is 7+7 distilled to 77 for the first three naturally descending numbers of the Son of Man. Then the fourth resulting step on his cross in Luke 3:23-38 are 77 ascending Patriarchs to God for the 77 number of the Son of God. (Cipher 31) In the Gospel of John there are seven I AM’s for the Son of Man as a witness from earth, and seven I AM’s for the Son of God as a witness from heaven together numbered 77. (Cipher 48)
The number 77 originates in the Genesis 1 Creation when evening and morning are counted 7+7, or 77 on the seventh day for the Face of God, who is Yeshua. EVEning is the mother of all living (mankind), including the Son of Man. (Gen 3:20) Jesus is the morning star (Rev 2:28, 22:16).
There are many more examples including Jacob’s (Israel’s) adoption of Joseph’s two sons that changed Jacob’s sons from 12 to 14, which is 77 for the Son of Israel. In this Bible there are 17 pictures of the cross in Jesus’ Witness Cipher numbered 77 77 77 77, that validate Jesus’ signature number 77 through each step of the cross.
