My Day of Revelation

Peter Cardenas celebrating 47th Birthday

My name is Peter Cardenas, and I believe I was born to share a message—one rooted in purpose, timing, and truth.

That’s why it came as such a profound revelation when I discovered that, in both Hebrew and English Gematria, my name held a meaning I could no longer ignore. It wasn’t just a coincidence—it felt like a quiet confirmation that my life was part of something greater, something intentional.

In Hebrew Gematria, “Peter Cardenas” equals 474. In English Gematria, it equals 774. The repetition of the number 47 caught my attention early on—but it wasn’t until I began looking deeper that I understood it was pointing me toward something larger than myself.

Through reflection and study, I came to see 47 not as a random number, but as a recurring sign—something that consistently surfaced in my life in moments of clarity, decision, or spiritual awareness. I came to call it my “47 purpose”.

This purpose aligned with something else I could never shake. I was born on April 11—4/11—a number long associated with information. And over time, it became clear that informing, revealing, and awakening others wasn’t just a passion. It was a responsibility.

The numbers, the dates, the patterns—they all converged into one message:
Inform America.

I don’t claim to have all the answers. I’m not here to predict or preach. But I am here to speak—clearly, calmly, and with conviction—about what I see, what I feel, and what I’ve come to understand.

This message isn’t about ego. It’s not about recognition. It’s about service. It’s about standing up in uncertain times and saying what must be said—even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it goes against the grain.

We are living in a moment where truth is often buried beneath noise. But I believe the time has come to rise—to reconnect with our values, to face reality with courage, and to move forward with clarity and hope.

We live in an era defined by confusion, division, and distraction. But within that, there is still a path to clarity—if we are willing to face the truth. My role, as I’ve come to understand it, is to help illuminate that path. Even the very first words spoken in the biblical story of creation—“Let there be light”—carry the signature of 47, as if to remind us that from the very beginning, truth, illumination, and purpose have been woven into the fabric of existence.

We are all part of something greater. And now is the time to remember who we are, what we stand for, and what we must protect—truth, unity, and the hope that still lives within this nation.

That is the heart of my calling. That is my 47 purpose.
And I share it now, because the time to speak—is now.


April 11, 1976 – Palm Sunday & Mount Sinai

I was born at 11 a.m. on April 11, 1976, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach—a moment woven with deep spiritual meaning.

That day was Palm Sunday, the Christian celebration of Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem—a moment of both glory and destiny. It marks the beginning of a sacred journey, one that would change the world forever.

The place of my birth—Mount Sinai—carries its own divine weight. In the Old Testament, it is the mountain where God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses, shaping the moral foundation of humanity. In Christian tradition, it is also believed to be the site of Jesus’ Transfiguration, a miraculous moment where His divine nature was revealed in radiant glory before three disciples—Peter, James, and John.

On that mountain, Jesus stood in brilliant light, speaking with Moses and Elijah, a symbol of divine purpose and eternal connection. It was a revelation, a confirmation of truth, and a glimpse of the power that lies beyond what we can see.

To have been born on that day, in that place, at that hour—it is not something I take lightly. I believe it was more than coincidence. It was a whisper from heaven, a mark of calling.

My life, like that mountain, stands at the intersection of revelation and purpose. I believe I was born not just to live, but to witness, to speak, and to help others remember the light within them—the light that cannot be extinguished, even in the darkest times.

I carry this truth with humility and strength: we are all part of a greater story, and when we recognize the signs around us, we begin to understand the purpose within us.


Immigrants from Chile

My name is Peter Cardenas, the second son of Eliana and Pedro Cardenas—two courageous souls who left their homeland of Chile in 1974, chasing the promise of a better life in the United States of America.

Their journey was not born of ease, but of purpose. In 1973, Chile stood at a crossroads. The country was slipping into the grip of communism under Salvador Allende’s socialist government, with growing influence from Fidel Castro’s regime. It was a time of fear, uncertainty, and upheaval.

September 11, 1973, marked a turning point—a day of reckoning in Chilean history. With the support of the United States, General Augusto Pinochet led a military intervention that changed the course of the nation. Though the path was difficult and controversial, it was driven by a fierce desire to preserve Chile’s freedom and prevent it from following the path of communist Cuba.

President Richard Nixon stood at the helm of the U.S. during that time, and the world watched as Chile fought to reclaim its future. Today, Chile stands as one of Latin America’s most prosperous and stable nations. The struggles of that era laid the foundation for opportunity—and for families like mine to build a life rooted in liberty.

I am the product of my parents’ courage and of a nation’s turning point. Their sacrifice gave me the freedom to dream, to speak, and to serve. And I carry their legacy with pride and gratitude.

That legacy fuels my calling today—to inform, to awaken, and to stand for truth in a time when our own nation faces deep uncertainty. I believe that freedom is not guaranteed—it must be understood, protected, and passed on.

My voice is not just my own—it is the echo of a family’s journey, the cry of a people who refused to be silenced, and the heartbeat of a nation still worth fighting for. I speak not out of bitterness, but out of hope. Not to divide, but to remind us all: freedom is our greatest inheritance—and our greatest responsibility.


The vision of September 11, 2001

As the north tower of the World Trade Center burns after being struck by hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 nears the south tower of the World Trade Center in this Sept, 11, 2001.

As a child, I was captivated by the skies.
I loved toy airplanes—especially commercial jets. There was something majestic about them, something that stirred my imagination and filled me with awe. It was 1986, and I was just 10 years old when Lan Chile received its first Boeing 767-200. My father traveled to Santiago to film its arrival, and I remember watching the footage, mesmerized. That aircraft, the 767, became my favorite. I would sketch it over and over, even shaping the number 4 into its silhouette—my own symbolic tribute.

That number—4—became my favorite. And the 767-200? It wasn’t just an airplane to me. It was a dream in motion.

Years later, that very model—the 767—would become one of the aircraft used in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. A moment that shook the world to its core. A tragedy that still echoes.

This is my United Airlines 767-200 toy from my childhood which I still have to this day.

Now, here’s where it gets strange—and revealing.

My birthday is April 11, 19764/11.
My birth year, 1976, is the bicentennial of the United States, founded on 7/4/1776.
411—a number often associated with information.
911—an emergency. A wake-up call.
And on that day—September 11, 2001—I was working for United Airlines.

Coincidence? Or something more?

As I look back now, I see a pattern I didn’t recognize before. As a boy, I drew the number 4 into the wings of a 767. Decades later, I lived through the moment when those wings were turned into weapons. But I’ve come to believe that the numbers, the dates, even the aircraft—they’re not just pieces of history. They’re part of a message.

4/11/76—to me, it now speaks clearly:
“Inform America.”

The patterns that have followed me—through aviation, through tragedy, through symbols and numbers—are not just about coincidence. They are about calling. About awakening. About purpose.

I believe the entire 47 experience—the numbers, the signs, the life I’ve lived—is a message to humanity. A reminder that we are all part of something bigger. That within history, within pain, even within the seemingly random—there is a voice calling us to truth.

And for me, that voice says:
It’s time to speak. It’s time to inform.
America, it’s time to wake up.


Apple’s first computer – Apple 1

Here’s something that caught me completely off guard: On April 11, 1976—the very day I was born—Steve Jobs and Apple introduced the Apple I personal computer, designed by Steve Wozniak. And get this… it was priced at exactly $666.66.

That number alone is enough to raise eyebrows, but then consider the logo: a bitten apple. It immediately calls to mind the biblical story of Adam and Eve—the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.

Was it just clever branding? Or were they sending a deeper message about the power, and danger, of knowledge?

And here’s the twist: I’m writing and reflecting on all of this today… on an Apple MacBook Pro.

Coincidence? Maybe. But moments like this make you pause and wonder if there’s more going on beneath the surface—if some connections are meant to wake us up, to make us think, and to remind us that symbols, stories, and timing often carry more meaning than we realize.
