But they don’t baffle us. Because we understand that the Israelite Nation worshiped Almighty ALHYM and held the circle as the sacred representation of Him, and His realm, as given to us by Him.
There are 11 circles. I believe the missing one represents the coming Messiah. Ancient man is showing God, and only God (because the circles are too large for man to regard easily), that we are eagerly awaiting our Messiah, our perfect Lamb to deliver us from our evil selves and inevitable death, unto everlasting salvation.
The circles all have a mean diameter of 400 meters, or 1300 feet, which correlates to 833.33 cubits. I have to wonder if ancient man did not have a concept of the metric system before it came into being in modern times. Circumference = 2 * pi * r, so this means each circle’s perimeter is around 2700 cubits, perhaps even intended to be 2720 cubits. 22/7 is pi so anytime we see these numerals being used, it is almost always a reference to circle, or the divine realm of God. Interestingly, the inner area of each circle would be around 600,000 cubits. 6 is a number that means not quite finished yet. 7 means completion, and 8 means more than enough; ample. Noah was in his 600th year of life when he was commissioned by God to make the divine life raft for all remaining life. Man is still in his 6th day of creation, while God rests in His 7th day.
With 11 circles each measuring as a perfect circle for God (2720), and having an area representing almost-but-not-quite there yet (600.000) proportions, it is quite the calling card for Mighty ALHYM to see on His throne in Heaven. The Hebrew Nation calling out to YHWH ALHYM, “We honor You and worship You. We are not complete and we know it. If we please You, Almighty LORD, please send Your Messiah to us. We are waiting for Him.”
Perhaps it was His pleasure with this humble Israelite offering to their One God, which spurned Him to finally send the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
