Decoding with Gematria the Number 1737, Jesus Christ’s Lifespan in Weeks, according to a XX-Century Mystic

The paper reports a mathematical exercise, mainly based on Jewish Gematria, to decode the integer 1737, Jesus’ lifespan calculated in weeks according to the Italian mystic Maria Valtorta. We show that the sequence of integers 1000 + 700 + 37 = 1737 describes the character Jesus, seen as the Messiah. The first two integers can be directly interpreted with Gematria; the third can be related to Jesus’ life, both as 33 + 4—the number of years (33) and months (4) of his life—, or as 34 + 3—the calendar year of his death (34, Julian calendar) and the number of days (3) to Resurrection. With the exponential function, other meanings can be extracted from 1737, related to the Act of Creation, in Jewish terms, and/or to the second person of the Trinity, in Christian terms. From the integer 1737, it is also possible to estimate the approximate hour of Jesus’ birth and verify the hour of death reported in the Gospels. Since the knowledge and mathematical tools we have used were surely not known to Maria Valtorta, it is surprising to arrive at a self-consistent and coherent framework from what she writes.
