Nachiel

Nachiel (Hebrew: נכיאל), the Intelligence of the Sun, stands for the strong forces of the Sun that had to separate from the Earth at the beginning of Genesis so that the Earth would not be spiritualised too quickly. This happened in the Hyperborean period. The Elohim could now begin their work of creation. Nachiel has the numerical sum 111 in Hebrew, which results from the numerical values assigned to the letters. Since in Hebrew one reads from right to left, it is as follows:

30	1	10	20	50	= 111
ל	א	י	כ	נ
Lamed	Aleph	Jod	Kaph	Nun

The hardening counterforces to this are formed by the earth or sun demonium Sorat, the two-horned beast of John's Apocalypse, with the digit sum 666, the Number of the Beast.

400	200	6	60	= 666
ת	ר	ו	ס
Taw	Resch	Waw	Samech
