HAMALACH HA'GO'EIL OTI... That pasuk's G'matriya is 4710, as mentioned elsewhere in this issue. It matches the pasuk from Balak which tells us that G-d appeared to Bil'am at night and gave him restricted permission to go with the delegation from Balak (Bamidbar 22:2). This is another example of many GMs (G'matriya matches)that remind us that Bil'am's attempts to "bless" the People of Israel were doomed to failure from the start. Here is Yaakov's bracha to his descendants serving as the vaccination against the attempts of Balak and Bil'am to do the opposite.

Another...
B'reishit 49:1,2 - Yaakov calls to his sons to gather to him, so that he can tell them what will happen at the latter days. Gather and listen, sons of Yaakov, and listen to Yisrael your father.

Yaakov does not tell them. But look at these two p'sukim that the computer matched to the G'matriya of both p'sukim in ch. 49 - 5462.

B'reishit 6:17 - And I Am bringing the Mabul to the world to destroy... That is one scenario, G-d forbid, of what can happen in the future. Sh'mot 35:2 is one of the verses that command us to keep the Shabbat, a foretaste of the world to come. That is the other possibility.
