LOST COMMENT: Religious references in ABC's LOST TV Series : PART 2

THE NUMBERS:
Coult it be only that the NUMBERS on the Swan Hatch door is just a coincidence. Its the representation of the numbers that made LOST so appealing in season 2/3. Until now the numbers have only been referenced really to the vallenzetti equation, predicting the end if the earth. Wel thin about the possibilities of this . The Hebrew language has no separate numerical identifiers. The interpretation thoeries of the Torah and iteachings of the Kabbalah included many different ways based on numbers alone. Since Hebrew character represents a numerical value the torah can then be open for interptation by 'translating' the passages numerical information. Could the NUMBERS be in reference to religious writings from ancient times?

"Tree of life" as it relate to the Kabbalah also has 10 'stems' (called sephirot) aech connecting the meanings of these things in diffrerrent ways. They connect different forces andand ares of thought. I have found many links to dreaw these t the messages of LOST in the story ofteling of FATE FREE WILL, TRUST, VICTORY

At their fundamental level, the ten Sephirot are a step-by-step process illuminating the Divine plan as it unfolds itself in our world. They are known by the following names/characteristics from highest to lowest:
also there are in a slightly diffeent order here:
The Sephirot above are listed in order according to the version given by rabbi Moses ben Jacob Cordovero. Some list the Sephirot somewhat differently by taking out Keter and adding in da'at:
1. Keter - Crown - Divine Plan/ Creator/ infinite light/ Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh - I AM THAT I AM (Supreme/ Total Consciousness)
2. Chokmah - Divine Reality/ revelation/ Yesh me-ayin - being from nothingness (Power of Wisdom)
3. Binah - Understanding/ repentance/ reason (Power of Love)
4. Chesed - Mercy/ Grace/ Love of (intention to emulate) God (Power of Vision)
5. Gevurah - Judgment/ strength/ determination (Power of Intention)
6. Tipheret - Symmetry/ balance/ compassion (Creative Power)
7. Netzach - Contemplation/ Initiative/ persistence (Power of the Eternal Now)
8. Hod - Surrender/ sincerity/ steadfastness (Intellectual/ Observational Power)
9. Yesod - Foundation/ wholly remembering/ coherent knowledge (Power of Manifesting)
10. Malkuth - Lower Crown - Kingdom/ physical presence/ vision and illusion (Power of Healing / Accomplishment/ Level of Realization of Divine Plan

These relate to many events told in LOST thus far:

Power of the island, Losties repenting: Jack Kate; maybe even Ben, Smokey appears to be merciful, Ben was being judged, Compassion for child Ben before his evil nature, Example of Locke/Ben/Wimore/Richard, The island has the power of healing power, I believe Lcoke was told of the (devine) plan the island and what Jacob wants
