Extract from “The King of the Earth” by Erich Sauer
“Einstein’s theory of relativity, which postulates a space-time continuum. “Curved” space-time continuum, that is, space closed in on itself.
Albert Einstein was able to calculate the curvature and to draw conclusions from it, and even to predict certain events, such as the change of path of the planet Mercury in its course around the sun.
As a result of this, mathematics, this so “abstract” science, becomes the connection-the only connection-which we can make with the four dimensional world, just as it is the only key which has unlocked the gate into the strange world of the atom.”
Einstein extended his Relativity theory to include gravitation.
Jesus upholds the universe by his word and power. Hebrews 1: 3
In the New Testament we see the link between God the mathematician and the Word Jesus.
The Hebrew and Greek languages each letter has a numerical value. In the Old Testament and the Greek New Testament scriptures there are significant meanings to both words and numbers.
I’ve always wondered why John wrote a precise number 153 fishes that had been caught in the net.
“After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the sea of Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called the twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.
Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul in, for the quantity of fish. The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. But the other disciple came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.
When they got out onto land, they saw the charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went on board and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.” John 21: 1-14In the book “Numbers in Scripture’ by E W Bullinger he gives the answer.

This word Ben Ha-Elohim means: "Sons of God"
The 153 fishes caught in the net relates to the “Sons of God.”
When Jesus called Andrew, Simon Peter, James and John to be his disciples he gave them a word in connection with their future ministry, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men.” Mark 1: 17 The 153 fishes caught would have confirmed to them the words of Jesus,
Later at Pentecost Peter speaking at Pentecost (cast the net) proclaiming Jesus’ resurrection and that he was the Messiah, 3,000 people received Jesus as their Saviour.

On the evening of the day of his resurrection (the first or 8th day) Jesus came amongst his disciples in the upper room. Acts 2: 19
On the eight day Jesus appeared again to his disciples in the upper room. verse 26
After Jesus ascension the 11 apostles and their followers gathered in the upper room where they were staying at Jerusalem to pray.
“In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was a guide to those who arrested Jesus. For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry. . . . For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it’; and ‘His office let another take.’ . . . And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. . . .And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.” Acts 1: 15 – 26
Peakes Concordance tells us that in the Jewish rule book ‘The Mishna’ by law there had to be 12 officers, on tenth of the number required to put in place a community. The number of people present is recorded in Acts 1: 15 as 120 fulfilling the requirement of the law.
