Chuck the old and start anew* for we are breaking NEW ground and as we proceed there is no need to ever look back...

Revelation 1

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

ἀγαπάω

verb: love

Book of Love-The Monotones-original song-1958

I wonder, wonder who, who-oo-ooh, who
(Who wrote the Book of Love)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, who wrote the Book Of Love
I've got to know the answer
Was it someone from above?

The Book of Love
Sefer ha-Ahavah:

ספר האהבה

which adds up to 358:

"So what do we find when the Torah scrolls end rolls into the beginning?"

The "cover" of The Book of Love is the first and last letters; i.e. the samech on the front and the hei on the back. It's the numeral 65:

ס"ה

An acronym for

סך הכול

TOTAL
(lit. the sum of all)

In 1965, Peterbilt introduced the Model 358...
Serving partially as a grab handle, the Peterbilt "bird" hood ornament made its debut
(a feature remaining in current production nearly unchanged):
Tree of life keeps forests alive for thousands of years, scientists discover

From that link, re Generation "X". X is the standard variable that could represent anything/all, but on a scale of I to X, "kisses". XO: X is for kisses and O is for hugs.

XO, as opposed to CO (because it's ALL in there):

Gen 41
39. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, For as much as God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are:
40. You shall be over my house, and according to your word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than you:
41. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt:

On the Hebrew version of that CO link, the title is mefaked, commander. There's a word on the page in bold that jumps right out. Here's the generic translation of the sentence, with the bold word left in Hebrew:

Among the IDF jargon, the commander's most familiar nickname (in every rank and soldier) is "קודקוד."

kodkod (code-code): it's the word for the crown of the head, the apex, vertex. Here it is spelled without the vowels as letters:

Gen 49.26. The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head [קדקד, but who'll scrutinize] of him who was separate from his brothers:

according to your word...

For the ages, that's what our love will be
For the ages, through all of history
For the ages, who could ask for more
For the ages, that's what our love is for

I've never known a love to make me feel like this
I've never tasted wine sweeter than your kiss
I've never seen a star shining in the sky
Nearly half as bright as the twinkle in your eye

For the Ages - The Mavericks
Brand New Day

XO - Extra Old
Anagram - OX (symbol of the tribe of Joseph)
(Where to find the Messiah in a new state -- at the OX crossing.)

Here's the post explaining how a hug is the cover of the "chai" book, the Book of Life (and who's inside that book):

Down on the CORNER of love.

Down on the Corner of Love -- Buck Owens, the family donkey

(THE P♥INT)

I am well aware that gematria is often met with the triggered cries of "Numerology!" It's a ready-made rationale for those who are looking for any reason to shut off the love, the intel.

I merely go about observing, regardless of what it looks like to the negative wave generators.

Ultimately, it's the "hammer" people who are going to wish they had expanded their horizons, instead of seeing everything as a nail.

Soooo, back the place that is "the corner of love":

Here it is in Hebrew:

פינת האהבה

= 558, the same as Jacob + Esau, as well as "and their faces shall look one to another" (Ex 25.20), the description of the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant, as a man faces his brother.

Now if anyone could get those two together again, it would be Joseph. Jacob knew. He took note of Joseph's dreams.

"Buck made his first recordings in his own right for the small Pep label in 1956. His first release was Down On The Corner Of Love which was well-received locally, but due to poor distribution failed to sell in vast numbers.."

So beautiful. This may be the earliest version:

Down on the Corner of Love

Note that the tele exchange for the Pep label was "Oxford" (69), which appears ~ 40 sec mark. And as I mentioned up-thread, it's the location of the Messiah.

69x: MYrtle, OWen, OXbow, OXford

Interesting that Oxford is the same as Myrtle, which is Esther's Jewish name.

I'm old enough to be familar with these phone number prefix names, *especially* this one.

Here's more music for the Temple that David had in mind for the name of the Lord God of Israel:

Above And Beyond (The Call Of Love), Rodney Crowell's version

The one thing that people should know, is that the Temple plays *both* kinds of music,

Country and Western, where you sleep out every night and the only law is right.

I'd like to also point out that 558 = 31 x 18, which pair up as the God of the living, El Chai:

Hosea 2
1. And the number of the people of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor counted; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there it shall be said to them, You are the sons of the living God [El Chai]:
2. Then shall the people of Judah and the people of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel:

Together Again, back in my arms now where you belong... down on the corner of love.
