Becoming a rather consistent theme, shooting through that Tunnel of Set again.

Quoted from "Outside the Circles of Time" by Kenneth Grant. It gives some insights into the Qabalistic number 222:
The number 888 is more than 666 by 222, which is the number of 'fever.' This is mentioned in AL.III.34: 'Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awake the lust and worship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall mingle in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical Lord!'.
222 is also the number of HVVRH, 'whiteness' a term used to denote the ultimate snows of Kether Gateway to Kadath (Hadith) in the icy cold waste. The adjective 'fresh' before the word 'fever' adds up to 511, the number of RIShA. 'The HEAD,' and the phrase 'fresh fever' adds to 733 which denotes RIShA HVVRH, 'The White Head' a title of Kether. The harmony of these concepts is emphasized by a consideration of the number of the verse - 34 - which is the number of GLA, 'to reveal.'
The revelation that Achad experienced concerning the Stone of Precious Water included all these ideas, and others that he did not - because he could not - at that time know about. 'From the skies' refers to the space beyond Kether, the transplutonic gulfs through which the radiations of the Star of 13 rays will be transmitted. Thirteen is a concentration of the number 733 (fresh fever). The folding of the paths into a sphere is also adumbrated, although it is not as yet apparent how this will affect the transmission from the Star (A..A..).
The idea of an imminent catastrophe that will afflict the universe is therefore inherent in both Currents (in 666 as well as in 888) because these two currents are not - as hitherto supposed - different and opposing forces, but one and the same current, Anti-Matter and Matter, Anti-Christ and Christ. They are the dual manifestations of the two poles of Being - AL and LA - with a third that is neither the one nor the other, concealed within them. This 'Hidden God' is the second, or twin, LA. As Achad observed, this double negative - La La - is 'true 93 in manifestation.'
The phrase 'For them that love me' (IMHABI=88), is used by Nuit immediately after a declaration concerning her number: 'My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, and the circle is Red. [See the floral star on the left lower corner of the Sgt Pepper cover] My colour is black to the blind, but the blue and gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that love me.'
