Martin Shields’ Guide to Gematria

No, really.

Gematria is the calculation of numerical values of words based on the assignment of values to the letters used to write the words. The obvious example of the use of gematria in the Bible is in Rev 13:18 where we are told: “let the one who has insight calculate the beast’s number, for it is man’s number, and his number is 666″ (i.e. ο εχων νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου, αριθμος γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν, και ο αριθμος αυτου εξακοσιοι εξηκοντα εξ, English from NET).

Fun stuff and he even includes a gematria calculator.  Enjoy.
