4 About the Book Cover The picture on the front cover is a photograph of a statue of Friar Diego José mounted in the public Park Genovese at Cadiz, Spain, where he was (cover 1) born. The statue was sculpted by present day sculptor Paco Parra. Diego José de Cadiz was a Spanish Capuchin friar who lived from 1743 to He preached throughout the Spanish region of Andalusia from 1766 to Diego was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in Diego was assigned to one of the teams of friars who preached missions to people of isolated, rural villages of Spain. Congregations marveled at the tender love he displayed to the cross he would hold while preaching. The power of his words moved his audiences and left an impression on their lives. He wandered the rural region of Andalusia on foot carrying the cross, preaching in this way to the various communities he encountered on the road. Three miraculous events are recorded in Diego s life. Once, a heavy rainstorm hit the city of Cadiz. The square, where Diego happened to be preaching at the time, was the only spot on which no rain fell. Another time, he was able to save the life of a man who had fallen off a roof by stopping his fall with one hand. All miracles that occurred with Diego (cover 2) took place in the main square of Cadiz.

7 iii FORWARD "A picture is worth a thousand words" The above popular phrase conveys the notion that a complex idea can be communicated simply with a single still image. The maxim also characterizes one of the main goals of visualization assimilation of large amounts of information quickly. The two most important types of learning are auditory and visual. Jesus always said he who has an ear better listen. So, Jesus was most effective to auditory learners. But Isaiah said one must both see and hear the message from God in order to understand.(isaiah 6:9,10) Although the Bible is an instruction manual for the spirit of man, there are unfortunately no pictures in the bible to maximize understanding scripture. The cover of this book shows an 18th century Spanish friar, Diego José de Cadiz, who picked up the cross to use as a visual aid when preaching. It pictures the Tree of Life with mankind represented at its foot (holding the base of the cross), who must find four steps around it for life hereafter. The back cover pictures a dove bearing a cross in her beak. These are the first two of 114 pictures of the cross in this book that, not only define God of the Cross, but also teach scripture in a visual manner. The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy challenges the doctrine of today's Church that worships a non-biblical Trinity-god. The challenge is made with the visual aid of the cross, that teaches a non-traditional path to God by revealing the foundational truth of the Creation and its numbers. Biblical numbers from the foundational Creation structure all scripture, and anchor the validity of God of the Cross as the complete and only God of the Bible. Since interpreting the Bible through the foundational window of the Creation is new and not traditional, there are two sections: (1) a pithy tutorial for Creation-Based Bible Interpretation (CBBI), and (2) fifteen chapters of the Lausanne Covenant with observations and interpretations for each chapter.

8 iv The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy

9 v PREFACE It was with good intentions that a committee of 2700 worldwide Christian leaders from over 150 countries met at Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974 to define various areas of Christian unity in order to promote worldwide evangelism. The meeting concluded with a written agreement for the following 15 areas of common belief called the Lausanne Covenant. 1. The Purpose of God 2. The Authority and Power of the Bible 3. The Uniqueness and Universality of Christ 4. The Nature of Evangelism 5. Christian Social Responsibility 6. The Church and Evangelism 7. Cooperation in Evangelism 8. Churches in Evangelistic Partnership 9. The Urgency of the Evangelistic Task 10. Evangelism and Culture 11. Education and Leadership 12. Spiritual Conflict 13. Freedom and Persecution 14. The Power of the Holy Spirit 15. The Return of Christ The Lausanne Covenant is a synthesis of unified beliefs from various Christian denominations spawned in the name of cooperation. In other words, Christianity was synthesized into a new generic man-made doctrine. In effect, however, this covenant has become a convenient tool for maintaining conformity to rigid dogma. It is the first sentence of the first Chapter of the Lausanne Covenant, The Purpose of God, where God is defined as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as a complete male-male-sexless triune God commonly known as the Trinity. But the word Trinity is not written in any Bible.

10 vi The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy Instead, what is written in the Bible s first six sentences defines God of the Four-way Cross as EVEning, Morning, Light, and DAY daughter (Eve; mother of all living humanity), Son (bright morning star), and Day, where Day is both Mother Holy Spirit of Light, and Eternal Father. These are the four dimensions (breadth and length and height and depth) of the cross of God as a family in heaven referred to by the Apostle Paul. (Eph 3:14-18) It is interpreted here that the God of Time introduced His image in terms of time in Genesis I (And there was EVEning, and there was morning, the first day), SIX times for God s likenesses of reason. Only SIX questions of reason exist: WHO, WHY, HOW, WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE ordered with a seventh question for choice: WHICH path (EVEning or Morning). This is why there are seven days in the creation of the Reason Creature: man. There are some image-of-god related problems with the Lausanne Covenant. The Lausanne Covenant denies the male and female image of God by substituting a mono-sexed Trinity in place of the true God of Creation, despite the fact that on the sixth day of Creation God created man in His own image and likeness, both male and female. This is the greatest hypocrisy of all time. It is hypocrisy because the Lausanne Covenant uses the cross as its symbol, but denies the existence of the complete God of the 4-way cross the same God whom Jesus knew.

11 In Chapter Four of the Lausanne Covenant is the one whom Jesus knew: Jesus still calls all who would follow him to deny themselves, take up their cross, and identify themselves with his new community. This statement is hypocrisy because the Lausanne Covenant uses the words of Jesus to identify itself with the cross, yet denies God of the Cross by substituting the non-biblical Trinity as a complete God. Written in Chapter Six of the Lausanne Covenant is this: But a church which preaches the cross must itself be marked by the cross. This statement is hypocrisy because the Lausanne Covenant s church does not preach the biblical God of the Cross. So how can this disconnect between Christianity and the Bible s foundational Creation exist for 2000 years? Many people are likely familiar with the story about boiling the frog. If you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will jump right out. But if you place the frog into a pot of lukewarm water, he will be comfortable and not move. If you very slowly turn up the heat, the frog will lie comfortably still until terminated. You soon have a pot of frog stew. A similar story is taking place right now with Christianity. Christians, who do not seek the face of God in the Bible, and instead, only want the comfort of man-made theology, are being slowly cooked into eternal death, where salvation is but an illusion, or rumor at best. Although new methods of biblical analysis with computer programs have now been available, and modern scientific numbers now line up with biblical numbers, there has been no advance in understanding the Bible s Creation. The Creation, and God of the Cross have been abandoned. One exception to this is Against Heresies written by early Church Father Ireneaus, who influenced the canonization of the four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. vii

12 viii The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy From this it is clear that the Word, the artificer of all things, being manifested to men gave us the gospel, fourfold in form but held together by one Spirit. From this it is clear that the four gospels are arranged in perfect salvation order clockwise around the 4-way Cross of God: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The very first page of the Bible provides explicit instruction to count the six days of Creation by example. When this is done, the count for EVEning, Morning, and Day count 666 on the sixth day when man was created. This number occurs again in Revelation 13:18: Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. (ASV) Only a beast marked 666 in the Creation would ignore God s beautifully complete spiritual introduction in the Beginning, and instead, invent a mono-sexed triune God. Only a beast would conclude that this is human numerology, that has nothing to do with God s message to humans. The answer to this is that numbers in the Bible have everything to do with God s message to humans. In this book there is a list of scripture verses cited in each Lausanne Covenant Chapter. When these verses are interpreted through the Genesis I Window, using four authorities of interpretation (the cross, the image of God, the likeness of God, and the numbers of God), the Cross of God appears again and again until there is no question that the Bible s message of the cross is true. The only excuse not to believe God s message of the cross is if one does not believe the Bible is the literal written Word and Numbers of God.

13 ix INTRODUCTION After many months of searching the entire Bible for the answer to Revelation s calculation of the beast, it happened in the middle of the night. My search led me to an impasse in the Genesis I Creation. I had counted 6 evenings and 6 mornings on the sixth day, but where was the third six? Several months transpired. Then in the middle of the night a voice in my dream called out my name and instructed me to count the day as the third six in the Creation s phrases of evening, morning, and day. I woke up startled and stunned. I cannot describe the combination of goose bumps and euphoria as the realization of the first calculation for the 666 beast sunk in. That event changed my life. During the ensuing months I struggled to maintain my objectivity. I am an engineer who learned to think in a logical, dispassionate way, where everything must be proven logically. So I set out to prove to myself this calculation was nothing more than a coincidence. What I found brought me to my knees. Was this the God of Time who introduced His image on the face of the Bible in terms of time past, present, future as evening, morning, and day? I began to realize that my dream in the night was like Daniel's secret vision of 2300 evenings (pg 109) and mornings. As my research continued, the numbers of Bible scripture connected with the foundational numbers of evening, morning, and day in the Creation. I realized, of course, this was the true God of the Creation the true God of salvation, where man is born in the flesh and blood of evening, who always leads to darkness. Of course, man must find the morning; the bright morning star, who always leads to Light, who is the Holy Spirit of Light in the new DAY of the Eternal Father. This was revelation of the Creations Secret. Of course! With this discovery came a sense of responsibility. Surely, I thought,

14 x The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy this would be easy for any Christian to understand salvation in its most succinct three-way progression man, Jesus, God, (1,2,3) just as salvation must pass through three stages of time past, present, future just as there is EVEning, Morning, and Day image for the creation of body, soul, and spirit of man just as the 666 number of a man must transform to 777, just as the Bible s mathematics confirm thousands of times. In 2007 I published my first book, The RC666 Bible Code, a 460-page mind dump that brings together the numbers in the Bible with the numbers of science to proclaim the validity of the Word and Numbers of God. The RC666 Bible Code authenticates the authority and power of the Bible s foundational Creation, and exposes the purpose of God s numbers. However, on a need-to-know basis there was too much information. So, I reorganized and condensed it with my next book, The Genesis I Window in But discovering this knowledge was comparatively easy. How could I ever convey this astonishing revelation that numbers in the Bible reconcile human salvation to the non-traditional image of God in the Creation? I wrote the The Genesis I Window with the subtitle, Reveals the Mathematics of the Bible. It is a 410-page dissertation and my magnum opus, but few people are interested in Bible numbers. Fewer read dissertations for entertainment. I authored and published a dialog in 2010 titled, The Creation of Man. Although it debunked the idea of a six-solar-day creation of a physical earth, and instead, defined the Creation as the spiritual creation of man, like my previous books, it did not address the critical message from the Creation true salvation in the image and likeness of God. With the subtitle (The Shocking Secret of the Creation) Daniel s Secret was my next book published in late The book is a dialog that reveals the perfect salvation as a clockwise progression around the four-way cross of God. The title of this book comes from the Bible s 2300 days of evenings and mornings in the Book of Daniel, where Daniel was instructed to keep his vision secret until the end times. Science proves that 2300 days of evenings and mornings are exactly 77 moon apogees. These 77 evenings and mornings are the same evenings and

15 mornings in the Creation counted 77 generations (ASV) on the seventh day. Since the genealogy of Jesus in Luke totals 77 patriarchs, and the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew totals generations it should be interpreted that the count of 77 evenings and mornings in the Creation is the pre-incarnation of Jesus who is the Face of God. It is a fact that Seek My Face is written three times in the Old Testament. A true student of Jesus must know the same God that Jesus knew. Otherwise, he or she will exit this world without salvation IN and WITH the image and likeness of the true God of the Bible. Salvation in its most succinct form is a three-way progression man, Jesus God, where Jesus is the connector bridge to God. However, when one does not know the same God who Jesus knew, the Jesus-bridge is a bridge to nowhere. A Christian preacher read my previous book Daniel s Secret and had reservations about my interpretation of the Genesis I Creation as a spiritual creation, rather that a physical creation of the world in six solar days, even though it is written there was not a man to till the ground in Genesis 2:5. His words were I could not make that leap of faith. When asked why, he answered, Maybe the man did not know how to farm. I responded, that he couldn t farm because it is written in Genesis 2:5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth. Again he said, I still could not make that leap of faith. I detected the presence of a WALL. As a member of Linkedin, I became involved in an exchange of ideas with Christian Professionals Worldwide Deeper Life Bible Discussions The Nature and Attributes of God. Here is an excerpt after my God of the Cross was labeled a Quadrinity. Moderator -: Wow! You include as part of your Godhead, the first human sinner! Unbelievable! Let me ask, did you make this up, or did you learn it from someone else? I have been around for quite a while and have never heard anything like this before. Wow! I can easily cite Bible verses that ascribe Godhood to the Father, Son xi

16 xii The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy And Holy Ghost. Please present some Bible verses that similarly and clearly ascribe godhood to Eve. If such passages do not exist then your theory is flawed and qualifies as heresy. My answer -: We humans were made in the image and likeness of God, so like it or not, God is in us and part of us while we are living. Verse 1 - Genesis 3:20 ASV And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Because Eve is a human and the first sinner, Eve is the mother of all living sinful humans in the world at the bottom of the cross. She is our mother on earth. Because humans were created for the world in Genesis 1:26,27, and Eve is the mother of all humans in the world, by necessity, Eve must exist in the Creation. Because Eve is a proper name of a specific first physical human on earth and the Creation is a generic spiritual creation, the English language abbreviates evening to Eve. Eve (eve) and evening are written the same way in the Hebrew language. In other words, eve and evening is the same word in Hebrew. Because eve is a period of time preceding an event, such as the darkness of night, and evening is also a period of time preceding the darkness of night, eve and evening are synonymous. Because the Creation is a spiritual creation, and evening leads to the darkness of night in the world, then evening leads to spiritual darkness, just as Eve led Adam to the spiritual darkness of sin. So how does all this pan out? Who do humans belong to if they are sinners and do not return to God through the cross? Answer: Humans still belong to God as sinners at the bottom of the cross, because we are in and of the image and likeness of God who created us that way. Jesus described the cross of God this way: (Mat 28:19) Go ye therefore, and teach all (men on earth who are sinners

17 xiii at the bottom of the cross), baptizing them in the name of (record in heaven) the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost (Spirit). ASV My answer was never posted. The moderators sequestered my answer and reminded me that any posts to the forum must conform to the beliefs manifested in the Lausanne Covenant. I detected the presence of a Lausanne Covenant WALL as a tool of hypocrisy. There is a WALL in the mind of the forum moderators and the previous preacher, who are wired to think like humans. A type of intellectual dishonesty is present in a human with three truth-blocking psychological factors: confirmation bias, cognitive dissidence, and herd mentality. It is confirmation bias that causes a human not to see all humans on earth at the bottom of the cross in Matthew 28:19 as part of God in the spirit of EVEning, mother of all living humans. It is cognitive dissidence that causes a human to read Genesis 1: 26,27 and not accept the male-female image of God from whom humans were created both male and female. It is cognitive dissidence that causes a human to think that God would have a Son without a mother. It is the comfort of herd mentality that causes a human to believe in a mono-sexed Trinity as the complete God of the Bible and reject the God of the Cross. It is hypocrisy to use the cross as a symbol of belief, and yet reject the God of the Cross, the same God whom Jesus knew. So, how is this WALL brought down, and who can do it? In Joshua 6 are written the numbers for the encirclement and fall of the wall of Jericho. (Joshua 6:3-21) 6 Encirclements first 6 days 7 priests, 7 trumpets = 77 6 Encirclements 7th day 7 priests, 7 trumpets = 77 1 Encirclement 7th day 7 priests, 7 trumpets = 77 The last encirclement around the wall of Jericho is 77 on the 7th encirclement, just as evening and morning are counted 77 on the 7th day of the Creation, just as the genealogy of Jesus in Luke totals 77 patriarchs. The triple 77 count for priests and trumpets matches the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew that totals generations. Therefore, the Bible s answer to who can bring down the wall blocking God of the four-way cross is

18 xiv The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy Jesus. But how can Jesus do this? Jesus spoke in figurative language about EVEning, mother of all living flesh and blood, when He said love your God and each other even as I have loved you. Jesus spoke figuratively about morning and day when He said I and the father are as one. Jesus spoke figuratively about the Holy Spirit of Light in heaven when He came that he might bear witness of the Light. (John 1:8 ASV) When Jesus figurative language is arranged on the Cross, it is apparent that Jesus sits on the right hand side of the Father, the Most High Holy Spirit of Light sits at the top, and humans at the foot of the cross are directed to love each other. These things I have spoken to you in figurative language: an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father. (John 16:25 NASB) One way Jesus plainly described God 4- ways for the cross was when He prayed that God s kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven in the Lord s Prayer Matthew 6:13: For thine is the (1) kingdom, (2) power, and (3) glory (4) forever. (Mat 6:13 KJV)

19 xv Jesus plainly described four steps of salvation clockwise around the cross when He spoke to Nicodemus on the rooftop. (John 3:5-6 ASV) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus explained that one must be (1) born of the flesh, (2) born of water, and (3) born of the spirit to (4) to enter the kingdom of God. The mono-sexed triune God of the Lausanne Covenant is clearly not the same God of the foundational Creation whom Jesus knew. This disconnect from the Bible s foundation is plainly described in four steps around the cross by Jesus in the Luke 8:5-8 parable of the farmer. Only the parable s fourth step reveals the requirement for understanding the foundational soil of the Creation, where the seed is planted. Only the fourth step on the cross with understanding of the seed sown on good foundational ground can bear fruit. Because the mono-sexed triune God of the Lausanne Covenant fails the previous tests of scripture, it is not the biblical God of the Cross whom Jesus knew and taught about. There can be no 4-way salvation fulfillment on the Cross of God with a false god. There is no 4-way progression like the progression of 4 days before raising Lazarus from the dead, or no completion of four months until the harvest, or no fourth step salvation with entry into the kingdom of God. Instead, with the religious hypocrisy of the Lausanne Covenant, there is only death like a 3 year old fig tree, cut down in a fourth fruitless year. Jesus always said he who has ears better listen. Jesus never said Do you see what I mean, until he demonstrated what he meant, when he died stretched 4 ways and nailed onto the Cross of God.

20 xvi The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy The Abandoned Window This book was half finished. I was on a sabbatical in Spain, complements of my daughter, Donna. Continuous research and writing had worn me down. I needed a break. While jogging on a lonely section of the Spanish coast, I looked up and saw an old abandoned structure on the top of a high bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Covered with tangled vines and surrounded by high weeds, nature had reclaimed this old house. I scaled the bluff and struggled through protective brush until an opening with a concrete stairway to the upper level appeared. Up there I was confronted with a great window overlooking the face of the earth, and the vast face of the waters. As I marveled at the view from this abandoned window, it occurred to me that this was like the Creation s window into the Bible that unlocks its secrets and mysteries a window long ago abandoned by humans.

23 Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xix CREATION-BASED BIBLE INTERPRETATION OVERVIEW There are many Christian viewpoints, dogmas, doctrines, and traditions all claiming allegiance to the Bible, because of a plethora of interpretations that lack a consistent foundational methodology. A recent book, The Bible Made Impossible by Christian Smith, identifies Pervasive Interpretive Pluralism (PIP) as a significant obstacle to the way many Christians view the clarity and authority of scripture. Problems exist with biblical interpretation because: Humans missed the point of God s beginning introduction of His four attributes on the Cross Evening, Morning, Light, and Day. Humans missed the point of God s 3-way consolidation into terms of time as EVEning, Morning and Day in the beginning sixth sentence repeated for six tenets of reason in six days so that the human image of body, soul, spirit (Pg xxii) could be created in the same image and likeness of God on the sixth day. Humans do not understand how the likeness of God s mind reveals itself with the Creation s seven days for six tenets of ordered reason that end with a seventh choice for either the path to EVEning and darkness, or morning s path to Light and God s eternal new Day. Humans have traditionally ignored the numbers in the Bible, particularly those numbers from the Creation that structure scripture. The argument for Creation-Based Bible Interpretation (CBBI) will proceed with introduction of a Creation-based foundation of biblical understanding that reveals God s introductory cross, image, likeness, and numbers, as four authorities of interpretation. There will be validation of how CBBI reconciles scripture to the divine order of the Creation, reconciles numbers of science to numbers in the Bible, reconciles the Trinity to the four-way Cross of God, and reconciles the image of man (body, soul, spirit) (pg xxi) to the perfect salvation (man-jesus-god) to the perfect image of God Evening, Morning, and Day. CBBI is based on the following non-traditional premises.

24 xx The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy The Creation (Gen 1:1 2:5) is not a description of a physical creation of the world. Instead, the Creation is a spiritual foundation of life on earth that radiates towards the creation and purpose of mankind. The numbers in the Bible originate in the Creation, and structure all scripture as the Bible s foundation. Biblical numbers are independent of human language differences, but are common to three realms: material, spiritual, and time. Because numbers are common to each realm, biblical numbers bind the three realms together. Biblical numbers are spiritually unique in that 18 and 666 are synonymous, as are 14 and 77, as are 21 and 777, as are 7 weeks and 77. Operations of addition or multiplication are insignificant, ie 7+7 is 77. 7x7 is 7. CBBI requires an understanding and acceptance of divine equivocation, where God uses an animal, object, or number in the material or time realm to symbolize a spiritual concept in the spiritual realm, such as equating 666 to a beast, or a lamb to Jesus, or a golden calf or heifer to an unclean man, or the parts of a solar day to the image of God, or to the generations of Jesus, or 777 to the numbered image of the destination heaven, or a name God of Your Fathers to Joseph the fourth patriarch of Israel, or the number 40 to fulfillment. The Cross is more than just a symbol of sacrifice. The cross symbolizes all four attributes of the biblical God of Creation The reality of what God is communicating through His literal word, numbers, and foundational Creation can be found without human speculation. Its method of interpretation is CBBI-generated reason that mirrors the likeness of God s mind His ordered reason. In this way God interprets His own Bible. We gain knowledge through observing the consistency of how all scripture is formed through the lens of the foundational Creation. We confirm what we have observed by testing each result with reconciliation to the numbers of God until we understand what we see. CBBI Inductive and Deductive Logic Before discussing the Creation in a logical sense it is necessary to present the CBBI mental process as inductive and deductive reasoning, which are the same mental tools for discovery in science.

25 Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xxi Inductive reasoning is the CBBI process of reasoning from specific to general. Inductive reasoning is supported by inductive logic, for example: From specific proposition: This is a man who was born from his mother. To general rule: All men are born from a mother. Deductive reasoning is the CBBI process of reasoning from the general to the specific. Deductive reasoning is supported by deductive logic, for example: From general rule: All humans are born from a woman.. To specific proposition: This is a man. Therefore he is born from a woman Deductive observation: From generalized foundational scripture: Gen 2:5 (ASV) And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground: From general rule: Man was counted with the six days of Creation, but not created as a mortal human in (Gen 1:1 Gen 2:5). To specific proposition: The Creation is a spiritual creation of things in heaven, which are measured with spiritual numbers. Deductive observation: Gen 3:20 (ASV) And the man called his wife s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.: From general rule: Eve is the first mother of all living humans in the world, who led Adam to the darkness of sin, and whose son, Cain, inherited the same darkness of sin, and murdered his brother Abel. To specific proposition: Cain was a human. Therefore he inherited the same darkness of sin of the first human woman, Eve. Deductive observation: In the original language of Hebrew both evening and eve are written the same way as ערב. Eve is written differently in Hebrew because Eve is the proper name of a mortal person. Evening of a day, and eve of another day, and Eve all lead to darkness: From general rule: Eve, who leads to darkness, is the mother of all living mortal humans. To specific proposition: Since all humans were created spiritually in

26 xxii The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy the Creation, mortal Eve, as the mother of all living humans, who leads to darkness, must exist in the Creation descendent from spiritual evening, which also leads to darkness. The scientist uses inductive reasoning, when he collects results from a series of experiments, and extracts a general rule. For example in a series of scientific observations it was discovered that the human heart starts beating 18 days after conception. (C1-1) It is a reasonable conclusion through inductive logic, that all human hearts start beating 18 days after conception. Since 18 and 666 are synonymous in the Bible, another reasonable conclusion is that all mortal humans are marked incomplete before birth in time with 666. In like manner inductive reasoning is applied to scripture to collect results from a series of observations, particularly foundational scripture, to establish a general rule. Inductive observation: Creation's mark 666 for incompletion of man : From specific proposition: The Genesis 1:1-2:5 seven day spiritual Creation instructs the reader by example of counting each day to count the evenings and mornings with the days, so that the count in time on the incomplete sixth day is 666, when man was created. To inductive general rule: All mankind is marked spiritually incomplete in the Creation with the number 666. Observation 1: The Creation marks the 666 attribute on mankind. Observation 2: Revelation 13:18 marks the 666 attribute on a man ( man is anthropos in Greek, which is all mankind). Inductive observation: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 identifies three spiritual attributes for members of the Thessalonian church. "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (WEB) From specific proposition: Three spiritual attributes of the Thessalonians are spirit, soul, and body that conform to the three digit format for 666 on mankind. To inductive general rule: Thessalonians are men. Therefore all mankind has a set of three spiritual attributes spirit, soul, and body marked spiritually incomplete in time as 666 in the Creation. So, what does the Bible mean with body-soul-spirit, and mind? The mind

27 Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xxiii represents all three body-soul-spirit components together as one mind. Expressed on the Cross of God there is body (flesh) at the foot of the cross. Clockwise next is the soul. At the top of the cross is spirit. These three together in one mind is the fourth step on the cross. Inductive observation: Creation's mark 777 for completion of man. From specific proposition: The Genesis 1-2:5 seven-day Creation instructs the reader by example to count the evenings, mornings and days so that the count in time on the complete seventh day is 777. To inductive general rule: All mankind is marked incomplete in time before the seventh day with number 666, and therefore must transform three attributes of body, soul, and spirit to 777 completion and salvation for the seventh day of God. Deductive logic is a method of logic in which a scientist proceeds from a few basic theories or principles and argues logically that similar results must follow. So if the scientist reasons that there are only three universal realms, (material, spiritual, and time), and that time most succinctly is before, now, hereafter (past, present future), and knows that the spiritual attributes of a human is body, soul, spirit, and understands that salvation s path is most succinctly man-jesus-god, and evening, morning, and day perfectly fit all of these criteria for God, then he would know God in the Creation. In science the greater number of experiments that corroborate the conclusion, the greater is the reliability of the result, the more accurate is the conclusion. In like manner the greater number of observations that corroborate the conclusion of an interpretation of scripture, the greater is the reliability of the result, the more accurate is the conclusion. Like science the truth is in the numbers, because unlike the words in the variable languages of men, numbers cannot lie. That is why they are there. Following is a list of biblical numbers interpreted with CBBI that reveal and validate a perfect Holy Trifecta for three realms. On the next page are a few of the many hundreds of examples in succinct outline form that are further explained in my books, Genesis I Window, The Creation of Man, and Daniel s Secret. Although it is not necessary to read all these books, it is suggested that the reader review all of the CBBI section before reading the fifteen chapters of The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy.

29 THE BEGINNING Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xxv According to the Masoretic text and the Jewish Publication Society 1917 Edition of the Hebrew English Bible, the beginning six sentences of the Bible (Gen 1:1-5) end with a special Hebrew punctuation mark called a PetuHah. Written in the English version as {P} it indicates the end of a Paragraph and start of a new line. It occurs seven times in the Creation after each count of evening, morning, and day in Genesis 1, and after the seventh day of Creation in Genesis 2:5. Observation: Like the Bible s beginning six sentences, there are only six tenets of reason. WHO, WHY, HOW, WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE are six analytical questions of reason stepped in divine order that are fulfilled with the first six sentences in the Bible the Beginning. 1. WHO created heaven and earth? God created the heavens and earth. 2. WHY did God create heaven and earth? The earth was waste and void, 3. HOW did God create it? And God said, Let there be light 4 WHAT did God create? God divided the light from the darkness. 5. WHEN did God create order? God called the light Day * 6. WHERE was God? And there was evening, and there was morning, one day. (C2-1) {P} (ASV) (*) God called the light daytime. (The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible Gen 1:5) It is interpreted that Day-light is the Holy Spirit of Light and that Daytime is the Eternal Father together as one day. Interpretation: The first day can only be interpreted as a spiritual beginning, not material. When the earth is formless waste and void it cannot be a material earth. There can be no first day solar evening without the sun, since the sun is placed into the sky later on the fourth day. When there is no plant or herb on earth, or no rain, or no man, after the seventh day of Creation in Genesis 2:5, then the beginning first day, and even the sevenday creation of God must be a spiritual creation. And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground; (Gen 2:5 ASV)

30 xxvi The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy Therefore it is interpreted the Creation s light is spiritual Light. When God called the Light good it was therefore holy. There was, then, the Holy Spirit of Light called by God to Himself together named Day. On the first Day of the Beginning there was God of the Cross when the Holy Spirit of Light and the Eternal Father begot two offspring: a daughter EVEning and a Son Morning to complete the family in heaven on the 4-way breadth and length and height and depth cross of God. (Eph 3:15-18) It is interpreted that this is the Tree of Life shaped like a cross. On the first Day of the Beginning there was the image of God EVEning, Morning, and Day like a Holy Trifecta in terms of time. (Gen 1:5) On the first Day of the Beginning there was the six-way likeness of God s reason. (Gen 1:1-5) (C2-1) On the first Day of the Beginning there were the beginning foundational numbers of God 4-way cross, 3-way image of God, a 6-way likeness of God, and an implied 7th-way likeness of God for choice to morning and a new day, rather than EVEning to darkness. It is interpreted that God s consolidation of four attributes into an introductory three-way EVEning, morning, and day image has reasons. One reason for consolidation from four to three is that God of the four-way cross is eternal, where time eternal most succinctly is 3- ways before, now, hereafter like this: And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. (Rev 4:8 ASV) Another reason for consolidation from four to three in the Creation is that the purpose of God s creation is to create humankind in a timeless image (body-soul-spirit) (Pg xxii) from God s timeless image of EVEning Morning and Day so that man can return to Him in that

31 Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xxvii same timeless image. In this way there was evening for the body of man who leads to darkness, And there was morning for the soul of man who leads to Light in the spirit of man in the day: that timeless Day of God. Another reason for consolidation from four to three is that God as EVEning, Morning, and Day acts through three realms material, spiritual, and time, like a Holy Trifecta. 1. Material Realm: EVEning, mother of all living humans, in the material world. 2. Spiritual Realm: Morning, the Bright Morning Star who is the spiritual bridge to heaven. (Rev 22:16) 3. Time Realm: Day is That Day when Jesus returns and everything comes together in the End Times. A trifecta is a wager, which requires the selection of all three winning horses in exact order. The word comes from another betting term: perfecta. In horse racing the perfect trifecta has a much bigger payoff than just picking a single winning horse. The Holy Trifecta is about the race to life hereafter. You have only one lifetime to find the Face of God, and get it right.

32 xxviii The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy THE CREATION God is a supernatural spirit, and the Bible is a supernatural instruction manual for man's spirit to return to God after creation. The Genesis I Creation reveals seven steps of reason to build a tree of knowledge of good and evil in order to learn how to transform from 666 to 777 and return to God through the Tree of Life shaped like a cross. However, man is not wired to think in terms of the supernatural. In order to overcome this deficiency in man, the Creation exemplifies six tenets of analytical reason plus a seventh step of choice for man to take God s 3-way image to salvation. Explicit instructions by example are written to count God s reasoned days. However, because of an inherent supernatural deficiency, humans have been unable to interpret the following questions about the Creation. Observation: How can evening and morning exist at the same time and place in a solar day? Interpretation: Evening and morning cannot exist at the same time and place in a solar day, because they occur at different times. However, they do exist at the same time as the Face of God for each day of the Creation. Observation: The morning always comes before evening in a solar day. So, why does evening come before morning in the counting of the days of Creation? Interpretation: EVEning, Morning and Day is the eternal image of God in the order of salvation man, Jesus, God, so that man may return to God in the same eternal image in which he/she was created. Observation: A complete solar day includes night. Where is night in the counting of the days of Creation? Interpretation: Night is not part in the days of Creation, because God s attributes for the path of salvation do not include the darkness of night. Observation: Since everyone knows that an evening and a morning exist in each and every day, repetition of evening and morning six times is superfluous. Why repeat the existence of an evening and morning for each day of the Creation?

33 Creation-Based Bible Interpretation xxix Interpretation: It is necessary to repeat the image of God and count the days in order to generate the numbers of God, reason, man, the Son of Man, and heaven (generations) for scripture so that man may interpret, understand, and validate God s true message for salvation. Observation: Written in the Creation is that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but there are no definitions of image and likeness? Interpretation: The image of God of Time (before, now, hereafter) is EVEning, Morning, Day. The likeness of the God of reason is exemplified with six steps of reason plus a seventh step for decision and rest. Observation: Any book for instruction, like the Bible, should have an unambiguous introduction of its author in order to determine author credibility and authorization to write. Where is this is in the Bible? Interpretation: The author of the Bible is the Eternal God of Time who differentiated His eternal nature from other gods, including ancient triune gods, by introducing His attributes with the following terms of time: And there was evening, and there was morning, one day. {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a second day. {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a third day. {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day. {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day. {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day. (C2-2) {P} And there was evening, and there was morning, a seventh day. {P} seventh day seventh day seventh day And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. {P} (Gen 2:2-3 ASV) (C2-3) The Hebrew special punctuation marker, {P}, separates the paragraphs of evening, morning, and day 6 times with a count total of 666 on the

34 xxx The Lausanne Covenant Hypocrisy sixth day when man was created in the image and likeness of God. The PetuHah also ends the seventh paragraph after a count of 777 for heaven on the seventh day totaled and written seventh day, seventh day, and seventh day. With seventh day written three times in the seventh day paragraph, once for evening, once for morning, and once for day, there is again implicit instruction by example to count each evening, morning, and day for each day of the seven day Creation. The Creation s numbers plainly present the numbers of man 666 and the numeric progression for mortal man to heaven 666 to 777. That is to say a human created and marked incomplete 666 on the sixth day of creation must finish and transform to 777. Otherwise, the Creation s mark of 666 remains on man from the foundation of the world as confirmed in Revelation 13:18, 8. (C2-4) Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. Rev 13:18 (ASV) And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him (the beast), every one whose name (numbered 666) hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that has been slain. Rev 13:8 (ASV)
