Matthew's version
of feeding the four thousand involves the Sea of Galilee, a mountain,
healing a small crowd of seriously disabled people, followed by a
series of diagrams that glorify Jesus (888), the king of Israel. The
sacred geometry solution to this story makes a beautiful seamless
transition from the crowd's glorification of Jesus into the diagrams
representing the four thousand men, two fish, seven loaves, seven
baskets, which all culminates in the "raising" of Jesus
(8880). Matthew's version of Mark's story is a masterpiece of gnostic
storytelling.
