Sod סוד

Is this true?
I thought the word itself just meant "secret," not some kind of secret assembly?
What does the word mean?
P.S. I'm not Mormon, but this kinda bothers me sometimes.

s + o + d = 60 + 6 + 4 = 70
y + h + v + h = 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 26
Psalm 25:14 “The sôd of Yhwh is for those who honor him; he reveals his covenant (berît) to them”.
Genesis 17:2 What happens to those with whom Yhvh makes His berit?
“… I… will multiply thee exceedingly”.
What would happen if we multiply “sod” by “Yhvh”, that is, 70 x 26 = 1820.
What took place in the year 1820? The sod of Yhvh was newly revealed to a man (Amos 3:7) by covenant.
