1. WHO? (10:1) My (Paul’s) supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

7. WHICH way? (10:10) unto salvation.
Commentary: It is interpreted Paul’s “Jesus Christ” meant Jesus who is the Christ, who was incarnate in the world as the Son of Man. Paul’s “Christ Jesus” meant Christ the risen Son of God in heaven, who was not incarnate in the world, and who met Paul on the road to Damascus. We are saved through the Petition and Response Cross with faith that God raised Jesus Christ (Son of Man) from the dead unto salvation in Christ Jesus (Son of God).
The Petition Cross is numbered (6+6+6+7 =25) like the Kingdom of God number 25 in Cipher 49. The 666 is generated in the spiritual creation when evening, morning and day are counted on the incomplete sixth day when man was created. Plus 7 is Seven Spirits of God for Jesus’ 7 natures to be inherited. The Response Cross is numbered (7+7+7+4 = 25) where 777 is the number of the Holy Spirit, and four is the number of the cross on forehead.
