G-d's Names: Letters and Numbers of Torah - Shelach
When G-d wants to punish the people for believing the evil report of the spies, Moses pleads,"Now, please, let the strength of the Lord be increased." (Numbers 14:17) On a mystical level, Moses is asking that G-d express Himself through the Divine Name that is spelled aleph-daled-nun-yud and which represents the power of divinity that is hidden in nature.

Thank you Rabbi for your illuminating comments.
Do you think that Moshiach will be known to governments as One who literally has some types of abilities that literally defy the 'laws' of physics? I believe so. That should be enough to prove to the nations/governments that he is Moshiach ben Dovid.
Also, my second question is in regards to a name of G-D. I once came across a prayer written by Rabbi Yishmaeli in which the writer of the prayer uses the name AKATRIKEL. Do you know the translation or meanings of the great name AKATRIKEL?
I very much appreciate it if you could answer me Rabbi.
Shalom!
