Mk 4:28a ... "Automatically the earth bears fruit, ..."

Verse 28 has four phrases and 14 words of dialog. The 1st phrase has these 4 words, ... automatē hē gē karpoforei (Automatically the earth bears fruit, ...).

The 4 words are top down. The adjective "automatē" is tangent to Jesus and comes from "autos" (self) and the verb "maō" (immediately eager) which translates to "automatically." The verb "karpophoreō" comes from "karpos," (fruit) and "pherō" (to carry, to bear), translated as "bears fruit." The gematria value of the word "karpos, 471" is equal to the diameter of each circle of "fruit." The four dialog words said by Jesus are tangent to the green rhombus holding the "two fruits" touching "hē ge" (the earth). Since the sign of "a person" has the same diameter as "fruit 471" and the circumference of "xristos 1480" (Christ), the moral of the parable might be that Man (aka Christ) is the "Fruit of the Earth." The next few phrases should contribute more detail to this metaphore.
