Mk 14:15 ... "And he will show you a large upper-earth spread ready. And there prepare (the passover) for us."

Verse 15 has 2 phrases containing these 12 dialog words, ... Kai autos humin deiksei avagaion mega estrōmenon hetoimon. Kai ekei hetoimasate hēmin ("And he you will show upper-earth a large spread ready. And there prepare for us").

The 12 words are top down. The noun "anagaion" comes from the preposition "ana" (upper, above) and "gaion" comes from "gē" (earth, land). The suffix "ion" is a diminutive applied to gē which might mean "little earth" or "like an earth." The word "mega" (large, great) points to the room being tangent to a 4440 circle. The bible translation of "avagaion mega" is "a large upper room." A more literal translation is "a large upper-earth" which is a metaphor for heaven. The unspoken object of the verb "prepare" is the passover, the death of the sacrificial lamb, meaning Jesus. Since "the passover" is an abstract noun, by convention, its sign is an equilateral triangle. The first and original original passover meal was unraised bread after the blood of a sacrificed lamb was painted over the doorway of Jewish houses. In the above diagram, the Teacher is standing in the door of the house.
