Chapter 9. Consider the following combinations of "sevens" with a Holy, Sabbath Day:

Transcription

1 Chapter 9 God was truly right when He said, through the Apostle Paul: "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead..." (Romans 1:20). First, because it was the day that Jesus Christ was born - September 11th, 3 BC; and the Satanic minions of Satan chose it to begin their final war on humanity! - September 11, I believe Lucifer chose this date to mock God and to proverbially poke a finger in God's eye! The Messiah was conceived by the Holy Spirit on what is our pagan Christmas Eve, Kislev 24. Second, because the day begins the "seventh" month and "seven" is God's number for holiness, perfection, wholeness and completion. It is God s Covenant Number! Reflections on God's "Heptadic" Design Feature present an incredible picture of God's calendar. God's "Heptadic" Design Feature is His equivalent of what paper manufacturers do to identify their quality grade papers and it is known as the "watermark" of their finished product. Paper manufacturers use a special embossing roller to apply their watermark signature to the finished product during production. It's [God s Heptadic Design Feature] God's calling card or means of authenticating His Holy Word. Consider the following combinations of "sevens" with a Holy, Sabbath Day: 1. The 7th day of the week is the Holy Sabbath of the God of Israel. -(Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; 31:12-17). 2. The 7th year is a Sabbatical Year. -(Leviticus 25:4ff). 3. The 7th year times 7, is the beginning of the Year of Jubilee. -(Leviticus 25:8ff). 4. The Sabbath that is the 1st day of The Feast of Matza (Feast of Unleavened Bread). This is the 15th day of the 1st Hebrew month. -(Leviticus 23:6-7). 5. The Sabbath that is the 7th day of the Feast of Matza (which is the 21st day of the 1st Month). -(Leviticus 23:8). 6. The Sabbath of Shavuot (Pentecost) is the 7th week, plus one day, after the Feast of Passover. -(Leviticus 23:15). 7. The Sabbath that is the 1st day of the 7th Month: Yom Teruah. (The Feast of Unspeakable Joy). 8. The Sabbath that is the 10th day of the 7th Month: Yom Kippur. (The Day of Atonement). 232

2 9. The Sabbath that is the 15th day of the 7th Month: The 1st day of Sukkot. (The Feast of Tabernacles). 10. The Sabbath that is the 22nd day of the 7th Month: The 8th Day' of Sukkot. (The Feast of Sukkot). These yearly Sabbaths can fall on any day of the week. They are not confined to 'Saturday'. God's use of the number "seven" revolves around the theme of Sabbath holiness, and the first day of the "seventh" month is holy because it's the beginning of the "seventh" month. It's the only first day (or New Moon; new month), of any month that is Holy in the Bible. As it is with the yearly cycle, so it is with the heavenly reality. The "seventh" month prophetically ushers in the beginning of the End of Time. That's why the first day of the month is Holy. It's not only the beginning of the end of the Feast Days in the natural yearly cycle, but also the beginning of what these last three Holy times picture, the End of Time as we know it. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the central fact of Christian history. On it, the church is built; without it, there would be no Christian church today. Jesus' resurrection is unique. Other religions have strong ethical systems, concepts about paradise and the afterlife, and various holy Scriptures. Only Christianity has a God who became human, literally died for His people, and was raised again in power and glory to rule His church forever. The Bible provides us seven Reasons for the Resurrection: 1. Because Christ was raised from the dead, Christians know that the kingdom of heaven has broken into earth's history. The world is now headed for redemption, not disaster. God's mighty power is at work destroying sin, creating new lives, and preparing believers for Jesus' second coming. 2. Because of the resurrection, Christians know that death has been conquered and that they, too, will be raised from the dead to live forever with Christ Jesus. 3. The resurrection gives authority to the church's witness in the world. Look at the early evangelistic sermons in the book of Acts: the apostles' most important message was the proclamation that Jesus Christ had been raised from the dead! 4. The resurrection gives meaning to the church's regular feast, the Lord's Supper. Like the disciples on the Emmaus Road, believers break bread with their risen Lord, who comes in power to save them. 5. The resurrection helps Christians find meaning even in great tragedy. No matter what happens in their walk with the Lord, the resurrection gives them hope for the future. 6. The resurrection assures Christians that Christ is alive and ruling His kingdom. He is not legend; He is alive and real. 7. God's power that brought Jesus back from the dead is available to believers so that they can live for Him in an evil world. 233

3 Christians can look very different from one another, and they can hold widely varying beliefs about politics, lifestyle, and even theology. But one central belief unites and inspires all true Christians Jesus Christ rose from the dead! (For more on the importance of the resurrection, see 1 Corinthians 15:12-58). Many years ago, the organization Computers for Christ, a computer group at Stanford University in Stanford, California set out to put to rest the issue of who wrote the Bible. They subjected the King James Bible to the rigor and scrutiny of the best computer technology and brain power available. I share their report with readers following on pages 5 thru 16. God Sovereignly Guided His People 21 (7 x 3) times in the book of Acts Means Reference in Acts 1:4-5, 11; 8:29; Through direct revelation 10:19; 13:2; 16:6-7; 20:23 Through Scripture 1:20 Through the casting of lots 1:23-26 Through unexpected, supernatural acts 2:1-41 Through the apostles' teaching 2:42 Through judgment 5:1-11 Through church "growing pains" 6:1-7 Through persecution and evil opposition 7:54-8:1; 14:5-7; 20:3 Through angelic messengers 8:26; 10:3-8; 27:22-26 Through miraculous relocation 8:39 Through direct, life-altering encounters with the risen 9:3-9 Lord 9:10; 10:3-8, 9-16; Through visions 11:5; 16:9-10; 18:9-11; 23:11 Through human instruments or messengers 9:17-19, Through times of intense prayer 10:9; 13:2-3 Through bringing to their minds the words of the Lord 11:16 Through prophetic utterances 11:28; 21:4, Through God-honoring, Spirit-led discussions among church leaders 15:1-31 Through promptings by the Spirit 15:28; 19:21; 20:22 Through closed doors 16:6-7 Through favorable circumstances 19:8-11 Through having them take advantage of civil, legal and political rights 25:

4 Seven Effective Ways to Approach a Know-it-all World from Acts 17:33-34: From Paul's approach to the Athenians, we find seven great pointers on how to approach a culture that takes itself far too seriously. The way to win some is to be winsome: 1. Watch for ways to find common ground. -(Acts 17:22-23) Paul went where people were physically and began where they were intellectually. 2. Illuminate poor views of God. -(Acts 17:24-26) Paul gently but firmly exposed the errant views of the Athenians. There is a knowable God. On that front, they were wrong and needed correction. 3. Nurture that part of each person that wants to know God. -(Acts 17:27) Paul knew that there is a God-built part of every person that wants to know God. When we talk to those who don't know God, we need to assume this and nurture it. 4. Study the world and its ways. -(Acts 17:28-30) Paul was a student of the culture. Christians tend to isolate, insulate, run and hide, gather up in our holy huddle, and avoid the world their way of thinking, writing, singing, reasoning, influencing. We must learn to speak in a language that the world understands. 5. Offer the proof of Christianity - the Resurrection. -(Acts 17:31) Paul spoke of the Resurrection. Christ's resurrection is the focal point of the faith, proving the central theme of Christianity. Without that fact, we have no religion. -(1 st Corinthians 15:13-14). 6. Make clear every person's accountability for his or her life. -(Acts 17:30-31) Paul didn't mince words. There comes a time when folks need to be told of a life audit. 7. Expect a variety of responses. -(Acts 17:5-9, 13, 18-20, 32-34) Paul received varied responses. Some will be jealous. Others will misrepresent what we are doing, accusing us of being troublemakers, agitating those we're trying to reach. But some will believe. And they are worth it! Ephesians 4:4-6 declares the Oneness of All Believers. Too often believers are separated because of minor differences in doctrine. But Paul here shows those areas where Christians must agree to attain true unity. When believers have this unity of spirit, petty differences should never be allowed to dissolve that unity: Believers are one in Body Spirit Hope Lord Faith Baptism God Our unity is experienced in The fellowship of believers the church The Holy Spirit, who activates the fellowship That glorious future to which we are all called Christ, to whom we all belong Our singular commitment to Christ Baptism the sign of entry into the church God, who is our Father who keeps us for eternity 235

5 COMPUTER ANALYSIS AND PROOFS THAT GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS, DID (IN FACT) WRITE THE 66 BOOKS OF THE HOLY BIBLE PREFACE "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. -(1 st Corinthians 3:18-20) This being the fourth printing of this report, we have modified the content by the addition of much more information we have been able to develop through the past few years. You will now find the first phenomena that was discovered that led us to the full Bible discovery. We have also developed phenomena that shows that God selected the Books of the Bible - not man, as claimed by many. The original report was written solely as a "FACT SHEET" to be given to agnostic or atheist "intellectuals" by believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to literally show in the "scientific" methods of proof that the arguments they wish to make with believers are not with believers, but is, IN FACT, with the AUTHOR of the BIBLE - GOD. It was designed to stop "attacks" on believers who believe on faith and do not have the "intellectual" ability to discuss matters with intellectuals who have presuppositions that there is not (or there may not be) a God. We have directed copies of the report to over 500 of the best known centers for agnostic or atheist beliefs, including universities or centers of learning conducted by Non- Christian organizations. We issued this challenge: "Disprove the report and its data OR produce any other text written by men as the scribes that will contain any of the same phenomena!" The ONLY condition we placed is that the phenomena MUST be from inherent factors of the language and not "contrived" by manipulation. By using a formula, the very word COMPUTER can be shown to have a value of 666, which is the number of the final ANTI-CHRIST; however, such methods are DESIGNED to produce the result and are not an "inherent" feature of the English language. Although we have discovered a great deal more of different phenomena, we will concentrate on the Number SEVEN, as this is the number attributed to God (who created the earth in SEVEN days, etc). In this document, you will read of FACTS and PROOFS of God being the AUTHOR of the BIBLE. By using the same basic phenomena, based on the FACT that GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW, -(Hebrews 13:8) you may make comparisons of other writings alleged to be God's Scripture. In this age, there seems to be many "intellectuals", both in the Christian community and outside it, that disclaim the inspiration of the Bible by God. Denominations, sects, and cults are 236

6 coming into being on a daily basis that attempt to dehumanize Jesus or to humanize God, and in most cases attempt to make the Bible into GOD. No errors have been found by this organization, and all alleged errors have been shown, in context, to not exist upon careful investigation. In most cases, the believer has been confronted with the claim that "there is no scientific proof" of the Bible. The definition of "Scientific" means that the evidence can be reproduced under controlled laboratory conditions. You will find that all evidence presented will fully qualify as "Scientific" in the sense that it can be repeated under such conditions, and we invite such scrutiny. In addition, the sciences of archeology, astronomy, physics, astrophysics, or mathematics all have produced evidence of the correctness of the Bible - even when the Bible was contradictory to the "known" science of a particular period of time. We have discovered additional collaboration of our findings in the work of one Dr. Ivan Panin, who spent his life researching these variances by God, of such a man, is evident in the time consuming efforts expended by Dr. Ivan Panin. We deeply admire the effort and results of Dr. Ivan Panin and dedicate this writing to his memory and to the Glory of our mutual Savior, Jesus Christ. It should be mentioned that Dr. Ivan Panin issued much the same challenge we issued in our preface back in No one ever took up that challenge, and we still await the first challenge after three years... It is the hope and prayer that this document will be used to make it evident to a skeptic, whether they be "intellectual" or "agnostic" or "atheist" or a combination, that the God known in a personal relationship sense by those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior is the God of Nature, the God of the Universe, and by proofs evident in this document, the God of the Bible. We propose this "logic flow": 1. If GOD inspired the Scriptures, then they cannot be anything other than TRUTH. 2. If they are TRUTH, then one of the TRUTHS is that JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY BY WHICH ANY HUMAN MAY COME TO GOD, and: a. God is the same - yesterday, today, and tomorrow. b. God is the "I AM" of the Bible and did not exist in any form other than as GOD, is the ONLY GOD in existence, and HE DOES NOT PERMIT ANY OTHER GODS TO EXIST IN REALITY. (Mankind seems to make gods out of anything they wish). 3. That ANY teaching that ADDS or SUBTRACTS from the 66 books of the Bible is NOT OF GOD, THE AUTHOR of these 66 books. Jesus Christ commanded that "Not one jot or tittle be added or removed" from the Scriptures until His coming, again. Jesus and the angels at Pentecost clearly made it known that Jesus would return EXACTLY as He left - BODILY and FROM THE HEAVENS! SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF THE DIVINE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE In discussing the matter of the evidences being presented in this report it is imperative that we provide an explanation of the inherent factors of the HEBREW, ARAMAIC, and GREEK 237

7 languages. These languages were unique in that it did not have a character or set of characters to represent numbers such as our present 1, 2, 3, etc. Instead, the Hebrew language made use of the letters of the alphabet; so that the first letter of the alphabet stands for 1, the second for 2, the third for 3, etc., until the 11th letter represented 20, the twelfth letter 20, etc. through 800. (The Greek language also had this particular feature). Thus, each letter has a numeric value. Thus, each word can be given a value by adding the cumulative total value of each of its letters.. Additionally, each character was assigned a PLACE value. If we were to apply the same factors to the English language by ignoring the fact that we have numerical characters, we would do it like this: PLACE VALUES A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O NUMERIC VALUE The difficulty in translating the Scriptures, due in part from these numeric methods, was also due to the fact that these languages did not have punctuation. Sentences were run together without spacing, commas, or any other basis of separation. In English this would be done in this manner: THISISASAMPLESENTENCEINTHEFORMFORGREEKARAMAICANDHEBREW To break this down, we read the above sentence thus: THIS IS A SAMPLE SENTENCE IN THE FORM FOR GREEK, ARAMAIC AND HEBREW Using the numeric factors of the languages, we note in the chart above that the first ten letters PLACE values and NUMERIC values are the same. At the eleventh letter, the Numeric value of each letter begins to increase by ten until the value of 100 is reached, and then each letter would be increased by 100. In the Greek language, there are 22 characters. The last character would have a place value of 22, while the last character would have a numeric value of 400. To make an example of this in English, we would proceed thus: THISISASAMPLESENTENCEWITHTHENUMBEROFKASHOWN THIS IS A SAMPLE SENTENCE WITH THE NUMBER OF KA SHOWN K = 11th letter with Numeric Value of 20 A = 1st letter with Numeric Value of 1 (or to say it where we can understand it) THIS IS A SAMPLE SENTENCE WITH THE NUMBER OF 21 SHOWN Now that we have explained the "difficulties" of these languages, we will now proceed with the "narration" of the first lead we received in our investigation to ascertain if there was any basis for "scientifically" proving the Bible. 238

8 GENESIS 1:1 COMPUTER VERIFICATION OF A MIRACLE The Bible begins with "IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH". The number of words, in this one verse, in the original Hebrew (which was the language of the Old Testament) is SEVEN words. These SEVEN words have 28 letters (4 x 7). These 28 letters are divided like this: The first three words (containing the subject and predicate of the sentence: - "In the beginning God created") have 14 letters (2 x 7); the last four words (containing the object of the sentence: - ("the heavens and the earth") also have 14 letters (2 x 7). The last four words are thus subdivided: The fourth and fifth words (Containing one object: - "the heavens") have SEVEN letters (7); the sixth and SEVENTH words (containing the the second object: - "and the earth") also have SEVEN letters (7). In relation to the importance of the words, themselves, the 28 letters are thus divided: The three leading words GOD. the subject, heaven, earth the two objects have 14 letters (2 x 7); the four words also have 14 (2 x 7). The numeric value of the first, middle, and last letters of this sentence is 133 (19 x 7), while the numeric value of the first and last letters of all seven words in this verse is 1,393 (199 x 7). The first and last letters of the first and last words have 497 (71 x 7); the remaining words (between the first and last) have 896 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7). We break this amount down due to the factors being SEVEN and TWO taken as a factor SEVEN times. The three important nouns, God, heaven, earth, have 14 letters (2 x 7). The numeric value is 777 (111 x 7). The one verb, created, has 203 (29 x 7). In this verse of only SEVEN words, there are some repetitions. The untranslatable particle ETH [known as the Aleph-Tav ] occurs twice, and the article THE also occurs twice. The numeric value of these repetitions is 406 (58 x 7). This whole sequence should be referenced through Hebrews 13:8 where it says that God is the "same yesterday, today and tomorrow" and where God, Himself answers Moses and tells Moses that He is the "I AM", meaning that he was before all things and will be forever the same. We then conclude that (1) if God is the same at all times and, by His own word, does not change, then the numeric phenomena, briefly shown above, should be a measure of whether God wrote the remainder of Genesis, or the Books of Exodus, or Jonah, or any other Old Testament phrase or book and (2) It would also hold true for the New Testament, even though the New Testament was written in Greek, the phenomena should hold true in IDENTICAL patterns. Finally (3) We can also use the progressions of numerics as a test of other text that have been claimed as revelations from God. If the language of the ORIGINAL text is not Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic/Chaldean, then sufficient kinds of the numeric structures will be evident in as much as the language will permit. We ask that you take any of these texts and test them against these structures. If they contain any multiple of the numerics shown here, we would like to have you communicate with us by directing a copy of the text, source of the text, and your name, address, and phone information. 239

9 Now, with this "key" provided us in Genesis 1:1, we proceeded to analyze the whole Bible. Keep in mind that there are in excess of three million words or twenty million characters in the 66 books of the Bible. Also keep in mind that the "evidence" we are about to present would be null and void, in most cases, EVEN IF ONE CHARACTER WERE DELETED, CHANGED OR ADDED! The results of our complete Bible investigation and analysis is thus 1. The NUMBER of WORDS in the VOCABULARY will divide evenly by SEVEN. 2. The NUMBER of WORDS that begin with a vowel will divide evenly by SEVEN. 3. The NUMBER of WORDS that begin with a consonant will divide evenly by SEVEN. 4. The NUMBER of WORDS that begin with each letter of the language's alphabet will divide evenly by SEVEN. 5. The NUMBER of WORDS that occur more than once will divide evenly by SEVEN. 6. The NUMBER of WORDS that occur only once will divide evenly by SEVEN. 7. The NUMBER of WORDS that occur in only one form will divide evenly by SEVEN. 8. The NUMBER of WORDS that occur in more than one form will divide evenly by SEVEN. **9. The NUMBER of WORDS that are nouns will divide evenly by SEVEN. 10. The NUMBER of WORDS that are not nouns will divide evenly by SEVEN. 11. The NUMBER of LETTERS in the vocabulary will divide evenly by SEVEN. 12. The NUMBER of LETTERS that are vowels will divide evenly by SEVEN. 13. The NUMBER of LETTERS that are consonants will divide evenly by SEVEN. 14. The NUMBER of PROPER NAMES will divide evenly by SEVEN. 15. The NUMBER of MALE PROPER NAMES will divide evenly by SEVEN. 16. The NUMBER of FEMALE PROPER NAMES will divide evenly by SEVEN. 17. The TOTAL NUMERIC VALUE OF ALL THE WORDS will divide evenly by SEVEN. 18. The NUMERIC VALUE OF THE VARIOUS FORMS in which the words occur will divide evenly by SEVEN. 19. The NUMBER OF WORDS THAT ARE FOUND IN ONLY ONE BOOK OF THE BIBLE will divide evenly by SEVEN. 20. The NUMBER OF PROMISES FOUND in the BIBLE will divide evenly by SEVEN. 21. The NUMBER OF DISPENSATION PERIODS is SEVEN. 22. The NUMBER OF GENERATIONS FROM ABRAHAM TO JESUS CHRIST will divide evenly by SEVEN. 23. The BOOK OF REVELATION outlines SEVEN JUDGEMENTS that will be made on the Earth and its Peoples. 24. The BOOK OF REVELATION outlines SEVEN PLAGUES that will be made on the Earth and its Peoples. One of the above phenomena is preceded by asterisks (**). The notation is made because we became unable to compute the mathematical probabilities AT THAT PHENOMENA. (Note: how many came after that one!!!). We had to suspend our investigation until we could provide some basis of relating the probabilities with some term that could convey the extent of the matter. Upon conferring with the math department of Stanford University, we were 240

10 advised that there is a term called a Google (some spelling shows it as Gugle) which is ONE followed by 100 Zeros (Some definitions enlarge on this and claim that Google is a BILLION TO THE BILLIONTH POWER! A term of GOOGLEPLEX, then is a GOOGLE to the power of GOOGLE, and this is what is reached at the occurrence we have noted with the asterisk! A GOOGLE amount of years can be referenced by stating that if we had a mountain the size of Mount Everest that was solid DIAMOND and we allowed a bird to come ONCE A YEAR and MAKE ONE PECK against this mountain, IT WOULD TAKE A GOOGLE NUMBER OF YEARS TO ERODE THAT MOUNTAIN TO SEA LEVEL! We wish to emphasize again the fact that if EVEN ONE CHARACTER was changed or ADDED or SUBTRACTED to the 66 books, then most of the above results would not have been produced! To state that God is far above man in intelligence is so much an understatement that we even hesitate to make such a mention; however, there always seems to be someone that does not realize the extent of these proofs as shown. Some of the proofs are truly unique; such as, the NUMBER OF MALE PROPER NAMES could not hold true UNLESS Moses is mentioned ONLY ONE TIME in the Book of Revelation! The issue of BIBLE ERRANCY is put to rest by these proofs. God is shown to have dictated EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER of the Bible, and it is inconceivable that God can make an error. The issue of CONSPIRACY is put to rest by showing that the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR THE WRITERS TO WRITE THEIR BOOKS AND HAVE THE PHENOMENA OF HAVING WORDS THAT ONLY THEY USED would have required that each and every one of the writers write their book LAST! TRANSLATIONS and BIBLES OF LESS THAN OR MORE THAN 66 BOOKS Although the phenomena we discovered only occurs in the original (please refer to this subject in the book EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT by Josh McDowell, who explains the ability to have "original" Scriptures far better than we could), we feel it necessary to state that Translations DO NOT CONTAIN many of the phenomena; However the doctrines of the Bible do hold consistent and should be the most important feature of any translation. The phenomena must occur in a natural feature of the language it was written in, and translations simply are unable to maintain such phenomena. An impressive feature, and one that caused us great difficulty, is that by the addition of the Apocryphal books, the phenomena that occur in the Bible as a WHOLE is thwarted. Not one of the phenomena, such as Number of Proper Names, Number of Words in Alphabet, etc remains when these books are considered, AND not one of these books contains ANY phenomena of any ascertainable sort! It is our opinion that this clearly refutes any claim by any religion that these books are from God. It is our contention that the fact that these books do not contain even ONE of the phenomena is sufficient evidence that these books should not be considered Scripture. 241

11 In as much as the "revisions" made by the Mormon church or by Jehovah's Witnesses, we can only state that these changes eliminate the phenomena, again a basis for rejection of their claims on "correct" versions. As we completed these investigations, we then focused our attention to the writings alleged to be "additional" Scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Koran, Doctrine and Covenants of the Mormon Church, Commandments of the Mormon Church, as well as writings from Moses David of the Children of God, Mary Baker Eddy of Christian Science, and many, many others. IN EACH AND EVERY CASE, THE ALLEGED "SCRIPTURES" FAILED ON EACH AND EVERY POSSIBLE PHENOMENA. We used the language that the claimed writings were in and looked for phenomena that could be utilized by God within those languages. For English, we felt that phenomena of number of letters or words in the alphabet, consonants and vowels, number of proper names, etc. could be found if from God. Any phenomena found was sporadic and not consistent, therefore was not of God. For us, and those who wish to accept such, we felt that this was sufficient proof that these religions claiming guidance from God, were, at best, being deceived by as good a counterfeit as man or Satan could devise. In the claims of most non-christian groups, one consistent statement is that the 66 books of the Bible are either (1) not correct or (2) not complete. We feel that the issue of correctness is totally settled in our proofs and results. In as far as the number of books being incorrect or incomplete, we look to the following: COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF THE ORDER AND NUMBER OF BOOKS OF THE BIBLE The original sequence of the books of the Bible differ somewhat from the sequence that is presently found in the English Bible. The original* text had the following order: 1. Genesis 18. Obadiah 35. Daniel 52. Romans 2. Exodus 19. Jonah 36. Ezra 53. I Corinthians 3. Levitucus 20. Micah 37. Nehemiah 54. II Corinthians 4. Numbers 21. Nahum 38. I Chronicles 55. Galatians 5. Deuteronomy 22. Habakkuk 39. II Chronicles 56. Ephesians 6. Joshua 23. Zepaniah 40. Matthew 57. Philippians 7. Judges 24. Haggai 41. Mark 58. Colossians 8. I Samuel 25. Zechariah 42. Luke 59. I Thessalonians 9. II Samuel 26. Malachi 43. John 60. II Thessalonians 10. I Kings 27. Psalms 44. Acts 61. Hebrews 11. II King 28. Proverbs 45. James 62. I Timothy 12. Isaiah 29. Job 46. I Peter 63. II Timothy 13. Jeremiah 30. Song of Solomon 47. II Peter 64. Titus 14. Ezekiel 31. Ruth 48. I John 65. Philemon 15. Hosea 32. Lamentations 49. II John 66. Revelation 242

12 16. Joel 33. Ecclesiastes 50. III John 17. Amos 34. Esther 51. Jude * Original means the Oldest or most original that were known to the world, at this time Some of the books assign themselves, either totally or in part to a particular scribe's name, while others are anonymous. The books which reveal (in part or totally) the scribe's identity are: Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy ascribe themselves to Moses and are ascribed to Moses in other books of the Bible. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the 12 minor Prophets ascribe themselves to the scribes whose name the book bears. Psalms is ascribed to David. Proverbs and Song of Solomon ascribe themselves to Solomon and Ecclesiastes ascribes itself only to the "son of David", which most believe to be Solomon. Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah ascribe themselves to these respective scribes. James, 1 st and 2 nd Peter, and Jude bear the names of their respective scribe. The Epistles of Paul ascribe themselves, with the exception of Hebrews, to Paul. Revelation ascribes itself to John. The anonymous books, therefore, are: Genesis, Joshua, Judges, 1 st and 2 nd Samuel, 1 st and 2 nd Kings, Job, Ruth, Lamentations, Esther, 1 st and 2 nd Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd John, and Hebrews. Moses has 4, Solomon 3, Peter 2, Paul 13. The other identified scribes have one book each. The number 66 is 6-11's (Feature 1). The anonymous books are 22 or 2-11's. The nonanonymous books are 44 or 4-11's (Feature 2). Of these 44, 22 (or 2-11's) belong to writers of more than one book and 22 (again 2-11's) belong to writers of only one book (Feature 3). The sum of the 66 numbers totals 2,211 or 's. We can divide this number in this manner: the 22 books of the writers of more than one book, have 946 (or 86-11's), while the other 44 have 1,265 (or 's) (Feature 4). Of the 66 books, 21 are Epistles. Their numbers are (James to Philemon or 45 to 65). The sum 2, 21 for the 66 books can be divided between Epistles and Non-Epistles. The Epistles have 1,155 (or 's), and the non-epistles have 1,056 (or 96-11's) (Feature 5). Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Joel, and Daniel are expressly quoted in the New Testament. The number of their respective books are 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, 16, 27, 35. The total sum of these books is (Feature 6) 132 (or 12-11's). The Numeric Values of the Bible Writer's names are 345 Moses 401 Isaiah 271 Jeremiah 156 Ezekiel 381 Hosea 47 Joel 176 Amos 91 Obadiah 71 Jonah 75 Micah 104 Nahum 216 Habbakkuk 235 Zephaniah 242 Zechariah 101 Malachi 14 David 375 Solomon 95 Daniel 278 Ezra 113 Nehemiah 243

13 833 James 21 Haggai 755 Peter 685 Jude 781 Paul 1069 John The total sum of these is 7,931 - which is 11 x 7 x 103. Just to show you that can also be expressed as 's, while the sum of the factors 7, 11, 103 is 121 or 11-11's (Features 7 and 8). There may be some that may claim that this could be accidental or by design. The number of books in the Bible that should be a multiple of 11 could possibly be accidental; however, since only every 11th number is a multiple of 11, then THE CHANCE OF ACCIDENT IS 1 IN 11! That this number can be divided between anonymous and non anonymous books in such a manner as to be multiples of 11 could also be accidental. However, THE CHANCE IS 1 IN 11 TIMES 11 or ONE CHANCE IN 121! That this number can be divided between the non anonymous by 11's among the authors of only one book and those of more than one book could also be accidental. However, the chance for it being accidental is ONE IN 11 TIMES 11 TIMES 11 or ONE CHANCE IN 1,331. If we carry out the progressions through the eight occurrences proven above, we concede that each one could be accidental. However, the chance for them all being so becomes ONE CHANCE IN 11 TO THE EIGHTH POWER or ONE IN 214,358,881! Using our pencil and a lot more paper, we find: The sum of the numeric values of the 26 authors named as Biblical writers which was shown above as 7,931 is a multiple of seven (Feature 9) as well as eleven. The sums of the numeric values of the 26 writers (7,931) is a multiple of 11. Of this number, the 21 writers of the Old Testament (3-7's) have 3,808 or 544-7's and the New Testament writers have (Feature 10) 4,123 or 589-7's. Of the 3,808 belonging to the Old Testament, 2,933 or 419-7's belong to the writers of the Law and the Prophets, from Moses to Malachi, and 1,190 or 170-7's belong to the writers of the hagiographa, from David to Nehemiah (Feature 11). Seven of the 21 Old Testament writers (3-7's) are expressly named in the New Testament. These are Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Hosea, and Joel. Their numeric value is 1,554 or 222-7's (Features 12 & 13). The numeric value of Moses who heads the list and John who closes it, 345 and 1,069 equal 1,414 or 202-7's (Feature 14). The Bible begins with the Hebrew word "beginning" and ends with the Greek word "saint". The Hebrew word ית אש ר re'shiyth for beginning occurs in the following books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 1 st Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Nehemiah, and 2 nd Chronicles. The Greek word occurs in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 st Peter, 2 nd Peter, 1 st John, Jude, Romans, 1 st Corinthians, 2 nd Corinthians, Ephesians, Philemon, and Revelation. These books 244

14 total 42 or 6-7's. Take the number of these books in the order of their respective place and the sum is 1,575 or 225-7's. The possibility of these eight features of SEVEN and the eight features of ELEVEN occurring together is: ONE IN 5,764,801 X 214,358,881 or ONE IN ONE THOUSAND MILLION MILLIONS!! It would be IMPOSSIBLE, therefore, to claim accident or conspiracy in the phenomena indicated. The above clearly demonstrates the design of: 1. THE NUMBER AND ORDER OF BOOKS AS RECEIVED.*feature 1* 2. THE PROPORTION BETWEEN ANONYMOUS AND NON-ANONYMOUS BOOKS *2* 3. THE PROPORTION BETWEEN BOOKS WRITTEN BY AN AUTHOR OF A SINGLE BOOK AND THOSE WRITTEN BY AUTHORS OF MORE THAN ONE BOOK. *3 & 4* 4. THE PROPORTION BETWEEN EPISTLE AND NON EPISTLE BOOKS. *5* 5. THE NUMBER OF O.T. WRITERS QUOTED IN THE N.T. *6* The Bible was written by some thirty different writers from many different walks of life over a period of sixteen hundred years between its first and last writers. If we assume that it was exclusively written by HUMAN hands, we cannot account for the mathematic phenomena demonstrated. If we assume that a SUPERIOR MATHEMATICAL MIND (The Mathematical Author of Nature) has planned these phenomena, it provides an immediate and rational explanation of these phenomena and others found in the Bible. To give additional insight into the various types of phenomena that we found, the following should provide a greater depth of the way God had even the spoken words come from Him: THE GENEALOGY OF OUR LORD JESUS The genealogy of Christ as found in Matthew 1:1-17 consist of two main divisions: Verses 1-11 cover the period from Abraham, the father of the chosen people, to the Captivity, when the Jews ceased being an independent people. Verses cover the period from the Captivity to the promised Messiah, The Christ. LOOKING AT PART 1 The Vocabulary has 49 words (7 x 7). Of these 49 words, 28 (4 x 7) begin with a vowel; and 21 (3 x 7) begin with consonant. Seven words end with a vowel (1 x 7) and 42 (6 x 7) end with a consonant. These 49 words consist of 266 words (7 x 2 x 19 OR 38 x 7). Of these 266 letters, 140 (20 x 7) are vowels and 126 (18 x 7) are consonants. Of these 49 words, 35 (5 x 7) occur more than 245

15 once in this passage while 14 (2 x 7) occur only once. Seven (1 x 7) occur in more than one form while 42 (6 x 7) occur in only one form. 42 words (6 x 7) are nouns while 7 (1 x 7) words are not nouns. Of these nouns, 35 (5 x 7) are proper names, and 7 (1 x 7) are common nouns. Of the proper names 28 (4 x 7) are male ancestors while 7 (1 x 7) are not. If we take a look at the Birth of Jesus in verses 18-25, we find the following The number of words is x 7 Their numeric value is 93,394..or 13,342 x 7 The number of Vocabulary is x 7 The numeric value of the Vocabulary is 51,247..or 7,321 x 7 There are six words found nowhere else in Matthew: Their Gematria numeric value is 5, x 7 These six words have 56 letters 8 x 7 The 161 words occur in 105 forms 15 x 7 The numeric value of these forms is 65,429..or 9,347 x 7 In these 105 forms are 35 verbs 5 x 7 There are 7 proper names 1 x 7 The number of letters in these proper names is 42..or 6 x 7 One word EMMANUEL is used nowhere else in the New Testament and has a numeric value of 644..or 92 x 7 (add the figures 644 together for 14) 2 x 7 The number forms exclusive to this passage by Matthew is 14..or 2 x 7 Their numeric value is 8,715..or 1,245 x 7 CHANCE? 1 in 10 to the power of 169 or 1 followed by 169 zeros! LOOK AT THE WORDS OF THE ANGEL TO JOSEPH The angel uses 28 of the 77 vocabulary words 4 x 7 The numeric value of all the angel's words is 21,042..or 3,006 x 7 The angel uses 35 forms 5 x 7 These 35 have 168 letters 24 x 7 The numeric value of these letters is 19,397..or 2,771 x 7 The angel does not use 49 vocabulary words 7 x 7 The angel does not use 70 forms 10 x 7 The Chances of this being an accident or by human design is 1 in 206,000,000,000,000,000,000 (206 QUINTILLION - 21 digits) 246

16 (This is virtually impossible when the odds are larger than 1 in 150 Billion) The Law of Mathematics: Compound Statistical Probability Proves the Manuscripts used to translate the King James Bible came from God the Creator of the Universe! OUR INTENT IN THIS REPORT It is not the desire of this report to provide anything other than an insight into the immeasurable intelligence that produced the Bible. The same intelligence that produced the limitless stretches of space, that produced the smallest one cell creature, the same one that created it ALL, is the only source that could have produced the Bible as it presently stands When you see God through mathematics, you will truly appreciate the fact that our God is The Master Mathematician in all the universe. The number seven is a number of divine perfection or completion, but if you have never had a day when you repented and trusted in Christ, your end will be anything but perfect. You still have the wrath of God to face, so if you don t have Jesus own righteousness imputed on your behalf -(2 nd Corinthians 5:21), then your eternity will be spent outside of the presence of God and be forever separated from any chance of repentance and eternal life. You can only be complete before God in Christ, so if you have never been born again, then today is the day for you to be saved -(2 nd Corinthians 6:2) because tomorrow may be too late. Dr. Dave Reagan has a great statement that I love: Jesus is either your best friend or your worst nightmare! The Apostle Paul s letter to the Colossians lists Seven Characteristics of Who Is Christ? 1. The visible image of the invisible God 1:15 2. Existed before God made anything 1:15 3. He is the one through whom God created everything 1:16 4. He is the head of the body, the church 1:18 5. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead 1:18 6. All God's fullness lives in him 1:19 7. Through Christ, God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things 1:20 The Letter to the Hebrews tells us what Jesus did to our sins. When we confess a sin to God, He forgives and forgets it because of Jesus' sacrifice. We never need to remember or confess that sin again. When God forgives a sin, it remains forgiven forever: He took them away 2:17 He forgot them 8:12; 10:17 He freed us from sin's penalty 9:15 247

17 He removed sin's power from us 9:26 He offered himself as a sacrifice 10:12 He offered himself as an offering 10:18 He forgives our sins 10:19 The sidereal year of the Earth is 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, 9 seconds, or 31,558,149 seconds, which is 7 X 4,508, (Sidereal is a time-keeping system that astronomers use to locate celestial objects) If that does not surprise you, consider the following: Mercury turns on its axis in 86,730 seconds, which is 7 x 12,390 The diameter of the Moon is 2,163 miles which is 7 x 309 The mean diameter of the earth is 7,917 miles which is 7 x 1,131 The diameter of Venus is 7,630 miles, which is 7 x 1,090 The diameter of Mars is 4,998, which is 7 x 714 The diameter of Jupiter is 89,769, and of Saturn is 73,044. Added together, they equal 162,813 miles, which is 7 x 23,259. Jupiter turns on its axis in 35,721 seconds, which is 7 x 5,103. The Moon is the sole satellite of the Earth. Added together, the sum of their diameters is 10,080 miles, which is 7 x 1,440. This would not be notable, except that the interval between the Temple dedication in 3,024 and the Crucifixion in 4,032 is 1,008 years or 7 x 144. Further, the Numeric Value of 'Aaron' in Greek is 1,008, or 7 x 144. This is the first earthly high priest who gains access behind the veil -- the type of the One Heavenly High Priest now within the Veil for His people [Jesus Christ]. The story of the Birth of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:18-25 is a good example of using numerics to prove or disprove textual differences. The number of words in verses are 161, or 7 x 23; their Greek vocabulary has 77 words, or 7 x 11; their forms have 105, or 7 x 15; the numeric value of the entire passage is a multiple of seven. But, if you omit the name of "Jesus" from this section -- as the Roman Catholic Community does -- the entire numeric pattern is totally destroyed. This is extremely important to understand. The [Heptadic structure will validate the genuine Word of God and invalidate all the other counterfeits]. Keep this in mind, as Pope Francis has claimed the Lord s Prayer should be changed to new language. Leave it to an Antichrist pope to change the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. The definition of Antichrist is: One who comes as a substitute or in place of the real Christ! While many dispute this, including the corrupt pagan Roman Catholic Church, along with its daughter churches, the date of the Messiah's birth date as detailed in Dr. Ernest L. Martin's book, 'The Star That Astonished The World', remains as the most documented and accurate book ever published establishing the earthly date of Jesus Christ's birth date. Readers can read the book FREE online at - the book was originally published 248

18 back in Over the years, I have read numerous different studies and reports prepared by people recognized as well-known reputable theologians. Now deceased, Dr. Martin offered the most credible work on this topic, in my opinion, and no others, to my recollection, have ever addressed the astronomical evidence that corroborates his work. Biblical Numerics can settle questions of interpretation. In Luke 23:43, some modern versions have placed a comma after the word today, implying that Jesus' was telling the thief he was speaking to him "today". Place the comma before the word, today and the meaning changes dramatically. With the comma before the word today, the Heptadic Design Feature s [ 7 ] numeric structure holds perfectly; however, if you place the comma after today, all the heptadic numeric structure disappears - every bit of it. What did Jesus say? "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." -(Matthew 5:18). The numeric structure can even correct spelling errors found in manuscripts. If the word is misspelled in a copy or in the original Greek or Hebrew, the numeric structure is destroyed. Dr. Panin said: "So frequent is the number 7 that its presence anywhere may be taken as a signal that elaborate Numerics are about", -( Basic Understandings, pg. 81). For me, searching the Heptadic Design Feature has been a special task over the past forty+ years. An important book that has expanded, not just my knowledge of the patterns of seven, but all of Scripture, is the book Teach Us To Number. Less than 3% of Christians have ever read the Bible from front to back, Genesis to Revelation. Dr. J.G. Williams published his book Teach Us To Number, in Its sub title is Williams Exhaustive Concordance of Bible Numbers. Four years ago, I highlighted each titled block with a seven in it, and later extracted every number that had a seven in it and compiled an Excel spread sheet. To give you an idea of how extensive this concordance is, the following is the breakdown of the sevens in Dr. Williams concordance of numbers: 7 Sevens 341X 77 2X 7-1/2 Years 3X 7 Seventh 115X 77 Seventy-Seven 1X 70 Cubits 1X Sevenfold 5X 700 7X 7 Days 151X 7-1/2 3X 777 1X 7 Lambs 15X Seventeen 17 6X X 7 Months 17X Seventeenth 17 6X X 7 Rams 7X 70 Seventy 48X 70,000 5X 70 Shekels 12X X Seven Times 36X 7 Sons 9X 74 2X 7 s Sevens 2X 7 Times 35X 75 2X 7 Years 48X Grand Total 892X I can confirm that Dr. J.G. Williams Teach Us To Number is by far the largest, and most comprehensive detailed Concordance of the Biblical Numbers ever compiled by any researcher. 249

19 Dr. Williams does not account for what I refer to as the hidden seven themed occurrences, which I estimate to be in excess of In coming chapters more of these will be presented and illustrated. The obscure or hidden sevens reflect the multi-dimensional nature of the Creator s ingenious application of the Heptadic Design Feature. 1 st John 4 presents seven signs of the cults that Christians need to be aware of. Following are some common characteristics of the teachings of cults that attack Christianity. Knowing about them will help Christians stand firm against such teachings: 1. A central authority makes the decisions Cults find their authority not in the Bible but in a powerful and dictatorial leader. 2. Special prophets or special revelation show that the cult has "new truth" Because of so-called "problems" in the Bible or in Christian doctrine, cults appeal to new authorities or new spiritual revelation to counter Christianity. 3. Attacks on the Christian church Cults take great pains to show that Christian denominations show the disunity of the Christian church. The cult may point out immorality, observance of pagan days, racism, and hypocrisy in the Christian church in order to "prove" that it is not the true church. 4. Attacks on Christian doctrine To establish their authority, cults try to prove the "unreasonableness" of Christian doctrine. They especially attack the doctrine of the Trinity and of the deity of Christ. 5. Undermine Scripture Cults will twist the Scripture's grammatical or textual background, or string together unrelated verses, in order to "prove" some way-out viewpoint. 6. Promote salvation by works Cults stress actions meetings, training, doing the work of the group as essential to acceptance by God. 7. Undermine the assurance of eternal life in God's grace Cults teach that salvation exists in adherence to their teaching and practice, not in the merciful love of God through Jesus Christ. The work of Ivan Panin and the group Computers for Christ clearly demonstrated that the numerics upon which the Bible is constructed proves an intricate design -- an elaborate design. And, where you have an elaborate design, you must have a sophisticated Designer of incredible intelligence. AMEN - This word is a word of finality. Its actual meaning is "so be it." Christ takes this name to indicate the permanence of His decisions, the certainty of His program, and the finality of His judgment. The angels sang a song which begins and ends with this word. It is found in Revelation 7:12. There are seven glories in this prayer or song, and these describe 250

20 the perfections of God. Nothing can be added to this revelation, and certainly nothing may be taken from it. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and 12 the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. -(Revelation 7:11-12). The word Amen is found seven times in Paul s Epistle to the Romans. Maranatha, Lord Come, Pastor Bob Evanteachr@aol.com 251
