definition of Gematria or gimatria (Rabbinic Hebrew גימטריה gēmaṭriyā), is a system of assigning numerical value to an alphabet. The word Gematria is believed to have been formed from a metathesis of the Greek word grammateia ("play upon letters"), from gramma (letter) and literally means 'that which is written'[1]. It is extant in English since the 17th century from translations of works by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Although ostensibly derived from Greek, it is largely used in Jewish texts of Tanakh and Talmud, notably in those associated with the Kabbalah.

Some identify two forms of gematria: the "revealed" form, which is prevalent in many several hermeneutic methods found throughout Rabbinic literature, and the "mystical" form, a largely Kabbalistic practice [2]

what the hell man? the guy is just sharing knowledge about the meaning of the word gematria and you bash him for being a "liberal" and for being dumb on politics cause he is foreing? where did you get that idea? you cannot possibly agree that war is the way to go? From your ignorant comment i can only assume that you were offended by the song cause it is talking about people like you who attacks others for no good reason if you think slipknot sucks and that people here are liberal nuts maybe you should not be posting...

dude here is the site of the gematria calculator... I too think that something is more related with this song... i am trying myself to find out what it is for a while now...
