Lots of info out there, this adds to that though.
These numbers, 3, 4, 5, and 6, are related by a perfect arithmetical progression, whose difference is unity (1). Their product gives us the well-known division of the circle into 360 degrees (3 x 4 x 5 x 6 = 360).
No one can tell us why the great circle of the heavens (the Zodiac) should be divided into 360 parts, instead of any other number, for apart from this it appears to be perfectly arbitrary. This is the number, however, which gives us the great Zodiacal, Prophetic, and Biblical year of 360 days, which was given originally to Noah, and employed by the Babylonians and Egyptians.
The number 360 is divisible without a remainder by all the nine digits except seven. It is the multiplication of seven of these great Zodiacal circles, or years, by seven, which gives us the great number expressive of chronological perfection (360 x 7 = 2520).
The number 2520 is, perhaps, the most remarkable of all others, for;
1. It is the summary of all the primary rectilinear forms.
2. It is the product of the four great numbers of completion or perfection, as shown above ---(3 x 7 x 10 x 12 = 2520).
3. It is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of all the ten numbers from which our system of notation is derived; for the LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, is 2520.
360 Gate 7/16/11
The gate or entrance of the Tabernacle is 20 cubits.
Using
18 inches for the cubit (20 cubits x 18 inches = 360
linear inches), and is the gate or "entrance" or TIME of prophecy. It is the prophetic "key" that opens the casket in William Miller's Dream, the "day-for-a-year" principle (
Early Writings, p.81).
2520 Curtains
7/15/11
Exodus 26:1-6
Ten curtains make up the linen Covering.
Each curtain is 4 cubits by 28 cubits.
Using
18 inches for the cubit, the 4 cubits = 72" (4c x 18"=72")
The 28 cubits = 504" (28c x 18"=504").
72" x 504" = 36,288 square inches.
10 curtains at 36,288" = 362,880 square inches.
Divide 144" into the 362,880 = 2520 144's.
144 square inches is a square foot, or 2520 square feet of cloth (in two 1260 sq. ft. sections) to cover the tabernacle, ONLY as it is measured in the UNITED STATES!
Who but God would know that ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES would someday be measuring by INCHES instead of cubits (or centimeters like the rest of the world)!
2520 Courtyard 7/16/11
Courtyard: Measure is in linear
inches.
North and South walls are 1800 inches each, or 2 x 1800 = 3600".
West wall is 900".
East wall has 15 cubits on each side of the gate, or 30 cubits for a total of 540".
Add 3600" + 900" + 540" = 5040", or the same as 2520 x 2.
