This is last part which will reveal the mystery that’s been under our noses for over 3,500 years. Those who truly look deep into God’s Word would have already known this by now.
Let’s read the following but we will read it a step at a time:
Numbers – Chapter 2
1: And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2: Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
Here it is saying that NO one will pitch any tents near the tabernacle. As you read in Numbers chapter 1, only the Levites can pitch their tents around the tabernacle because they are responsible for it.
On a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, draw a 1 inch diameter circle (about the size of a quarter) centered on the paper. Now draw a fairly small rectangle inside the circle. This center piece will represent the tabernacle (rectangle) with the Levites tents (circle) pitched around it.
Next, draw 1 straight line (boldly) from the circle to the far right edge of the paper. Again, draw 1 straight line (boldy) from the circle to the far left side of the paper. Do the same thing to the top and bottom. Your paper should look like it has 4 boxes (rectangular) with a circle at the very middle. See link to Figure 1

Next step is to make some grid lines (lightly) spaced ½ inch equally apart. When you finish, you paper should look like a whole page of little squares. See link to Figure 2.

Now label East on the bottom of your page, then West at the top, North on the right and South on the left.
Label the bold grid lines “0” (zero). For each grid line thereafter represent increments of 25,000 (or 25K). Label those as shown in the link to Figure 3.

Here you have just made a graph chart. Note: If you are not able to view the pictures clearly enough, you can save the pictures to your file and print them.
Now following the instruction below in Numbers 2:
3: And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
4: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
5: And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar.
6: And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
7: Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun.
8: And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
9: All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
Notice the verses above on how to place the tribes. You see that the tribe of Judah is next to the Levites. Now carefully notice where the next two tribes are placed in verses 5 and 7. They are not placed next to the Levites but instead the tribe of Issachar is placed next to Judah and the tribe of Zebulun is next to Issachar.
1. Judah - threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred - (74,600)
2. Issachar - fifty and four thousand and four hundred - (54,400)
3. Zebulun - fifty and seven thousand and four hundred - (57,400)
The total number that is placed east of the tabernacle is 186,400.
Now draw a very thick line from the center circle of your graph to the easterly direction (according the verse 3) until you get to the point of 186,400 or 186K (appx.). See Figure 4

Now let’s move on and keep in mind on how the tribes are placed. Go ahead and draw out the rest accordingly.
4. Reuben - forty and six thousand and five hundred - (46,500)
5. Simeon - fifty and nine thousand and three hundred - (59,300)
6. Gad - forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty - (45,650)
The total number that is placed south of the tabernacle is 151,450.
Again, just like the last 3 tribes….Reuben is placed southernly next to the Levites, Simeon next to Rueben and Gad next to Simeon.
Onto the next set:
17: Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
18: On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
19: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.
20: And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
21: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
22: Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
23: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
24: All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.
7. Ephraim - forty thousand and five hundred - (40,500)
8. Manasseh - thirty and two thousand and two hundred - (32,200)
9. Benjamin - thirty and five thousand and four hundred - (35,400)
The total number that is placed west of the tabernacle is 108,100.
Now the last set:
25: The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
26: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
27: And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
28: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
29: Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
30: And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
31: All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.
10. Dan - threescore and two thousand and seven hundred - (62,700)
11. Asher - forty and one thousand and five hundred - (41,500)
12. Naphtali - fifty and three thousand and four hundred - (53,400)
The total number that is placed west of the tabernacle is 157,600.
Also, keep in mind that NONE of the tribes that are placed to the east are next to any other tribes of the west, north and south. Same goes for the the tribes of the west, the tribes of the north and the tribes of the south.
32: These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
33: But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
34: And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
If you have done this correctly, you should see the same results in the link to Figure 5.

Many of those that do not believe will argue that the Cross is turned sideways or may ask why is the East the bottom and the West the top, etc. Since space has no top, bottom, left or right, we cannot assume that the North pole is the top and South pole is the bottom even though they are the rotating points. However, since the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, we then build the cross from the ground up (east to west). The beginning and the end, from earth to Heaven, etc.
The findings presented here is further proof of the Cross. You can either believe it or not….it’s your choice
