"Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks
he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a 'fool' so that
he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's
sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and
again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile. "
This being the fourth printing of this report, we have
modified the content by the addition of much more information that we have
been able to develop through the past 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.
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 the value of 666, which is the number of the final
anti-christ; however, such methods are DESIGNED to produce this result
and are not an "INHERENT" feature of the English language.
Although we have a great deal of phenomena discovered,
we will concentrate on the number SEVEN, as this is the number attributed
to God. (Created the earth in SEVEN days etc. ) In this document you will
read 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 other comparisons of
other writings alleged to be God's scripture.
In this age, there seem to be many "intellectuals" both
in the Christian community and outside it that disclaim the inspiration
of the Bible by God 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, and dedicate this writing to
his memory and to glory of our mutual savior, Jesus Christ.
It should be mentioned that Dr. Panin issued much the
same challenge as we issued in the preface, back in 1940. No one ever took
up the challenge, and we still await our first challenge after three years...
It is our 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 that have accepted Jesus Christ as
savior, is the God of nature, God of the universe, and by the proofs
evident in this document, 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 other 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 teachings that ADD or SUBTRACT from the 66
books of the Bible are not of God, the Author of these 66 books. Jesus
Christ commanded that "Not one dot 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 evidence being
presented in this report, it is imperative that we provide in explanation
of the INHERENT factors of the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages. They
languages are unique in that they did not have a set of characters to
represent numbers as our present 1,2,3 ect. Instead, the Hebrew language
made use of the letters of the alphabet; so that the first letter of the
alphabet stood for 1, the second for 2, the third 3 ect. until the
eleventh letter represented 20, the twelfth 30 ect. through 800. (The
Greek language also had this feature). Thus each letter had a numeric
value. In this manner, each word can be given a value by adding the
cumulative total value of each of the letters. Additionally, each letter
was assigned a PLACE value. If we were to apply the same factors to the
English language by ignoring numerical characters, we would do it like
this:
PLACE VALUE
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30 40 50 60
NUMERIC VALUE
The difficulty in translating the scriptures, de in
part by these numeric methods, was also due to the fact that these
languages did not have punctuation. Sentences were run together without
spaces, commas, or any other separation. In English this would be done in
this manner:
To break this down, we read the above sentence thus:
THIS IS A SAMPLE SENTENCE IN THE FORM OF GREEK ARAMAIC AND HEBREW
Using the numeric factors of the languages, we note the
chart above that the first ten letter PLACE values and NUMERIC values are
the same. At the eleventh letter the numeric value begins to increase by
ten, until the value of 100 is reached, and then each letter would be
increased by 100.
Now that we have explained the difficulties of these
languages, we will now proceed with the "narration" of the first lead that
we received in our investigation to ascertain if there were any basis for
"scientifically" proving the Bible.
The bible begins with "In the beginning God created the
heavens and the Earth." The number of words in the original Hebrew (the
language of the Old Testament) is SEVEN.
These seven words have 28 letters(4X7). These 28
letters are divided like this: The first three words (containing the
subject and the predicate of the sentence-"In the begging God created"-)
have 14 letters (2X7); The last four words (containing the object of the
sentence-"the heavens and the earth") also have 14 letters(2X7). The last
four words are thus subdivided: The fourth and fifth words (containing one
object-"the heavens") have 7 letters. In relation to the importance of
the words themselves, the 28 letters are thus divided: The three leading
words God the subject, heaven and earth the two objects, have 14 letters
(2X7).
The numeric value of the first, middle and last letters
of this sentence is 133 (19X7), while the numeric value of the first and
last letters of all seven words in this verse is 1393(199X7). The first
and last letters of the first and last words have 497 (71X7); the
remaining words (between the first and the last) have 896
(2X2X2X2X2X2X2x7). 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 and earth have 14 letters (7X2). The numeric value is 777
(111X7). The one verb, created, has 203 (29X7).
In this verse of only SEVEN words there are some
repetitions. The untranslatable particle ETH occurs twice and the article
THE also occurs twice. The numeric value of these repetitions is 406 (58X7).
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 remain forever
the same.
We then conclude that:
(1) If God is the same at all times and, by His word,
does not change, then the numeric phenomena, briefly shown above, should
be a measure of whether God wrote the remainder of Genesis, the Books of
Exodus, Jonah or any other Old testament book or phrase
(2) It would also hold true for the New Testament (even
though this was written in Greek) in identical patterns.
(3) We can also use the progressions of numerics as a
test of other texts that have been claimed to be a revelation from God.
If the original language is not Greek, Hebrew or
Aramaic then sufficient kinds of numerical structures will be evident in
as much as that language will permit. We ask that you take any of these
texts and test them against these structures. If they contain any multiple
of numerics shown here, we would like to have you communicate them
immediately by directing a copy of the text, source of the text, and your
name, address and phone number.
Now with this "Key" provided in Genesis 1:1 , we
proceeded to analyze the WHOLE BIBLE. Keep in mind that there are an
excess of three million words, or twenty million characters, in the 66
books of the Bible. Keep in mind also that the evidence we are about to
present would be null and void, in most cases, if EVEN 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
that languages 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 ALL 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 GENERATION FROM ABRAHAM TO JESUS will
divide evenly by SEVEN.
23. The BOOK OF REVELATION outlines SEVEN JUDGMENTS
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.
Note that in the case of number 9 it was impossible
compute the mathematical probabilities at that phenomena. (Note how many
came after that!!!) We had to suspend our investigation until we could
provide some basis of relating the probabilities, with some term that
could convey the extant of this matter. Upon conferring with the math
department at Stanford University, we were advised that the term is called
a GOOGOL (some spellings are "Gugle") which is one billion to the one
billionth power. The term googolplex, then, is a googol to the power of a
googol, and this is what is reached at the occurrence we have noted at #9.
A googol is the number of it would take a bird, pecking just once a year
to reduce a mountain made of diamond the size of mount Everest down to sea
level.
We wish to restress the fact that if EVEN ONE CHARACTER
was changed, added or subtracted to the 66 books of the bible, 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 extant 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 in the
Bible and it is inconceivable that God can make an error.
The issue of cnspiracy is put to rest by showing that
ONLY GOD could have put the characters together over a period of fifteen
hundred years, through three different languages, and through the use of
several different men of widely different back grounds. Some epistles were
written in a single sitting in a matter of minutes. The number of hours
it would have taken for the writers to CONSPIRE to created these
harmonious features is beyond any belief. It is to be noted 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 them wrote their book LAST!
Translations and Bibles of Less than or More Than 66 Books
Although the phenomena we discovered only occur 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"
sciptures far better than we could), we feel it necessary to state that
translations DO NOT CONTAIN many of the phenomena. The doctrines of the
Bible, however, do hold consistent, and should be the most important
feature of any translation. The phenomena must occur in a natural feature
of the language in which it was written, and translations 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,
(Number of Proper Names, Number of Words in the Alphabet, ect. ) remains
when these books are considered, AND not one of these books contains ANY
of the 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 the they should not be
considered scripture.
As for "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 of a "correct"
version.
As we completed these investigations, we then focused
our attention on the writings alleged to be "additional" sciptures, such
as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Koran, Doctrine and
Covenants of the Mormon Church and Commandments of the Mormon Church, as
well as writing 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 "Sciptures" failed
on 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 the phenomena of Number of letters
or words in the alphabet, consonants and vowels, number of proper names,
ect. could be found if from God. Any phenomena found was sporadic, not
consistent, and therefore 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. As far as the number of books being
incorrect or incomplete, we look at the following.
Computer Analysis of the Order and Number of Books in
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 12)Isaiah 23)Zepaniah
34)Esther 45)James 56)Ephesians
2)Exodus 13)Jeremiah 24)Haggai
35)Daniel 46)I Peter 57)Philipians
3)Leviticus 14)Ezekiel 25)Zechariah
36)Ezra 47)II Peter 58)Colossians
4)Numbers 15)Hosea 26)Malachi
37)Nehemiah 48)I John 59)I Thessalonians
5)Dueteronomy 16)Joel 27)Psalms
38)I Chronicles 49)II John 60)II Thessalonians
6)Joshua 17)Amos 28)Proverbs
39)II Chronicles 50)III John 61)Hebrews
7)Judges 18)Obadiah 29)Job
40)Matthew 51)Jude 62)I Timothy
8)I Samuel 19)Jonah 30)Song of
Solomon 41)Mark 52)Romans 63)II Timothy
9)II Samuel 20)Micah 31)Ruth
42)Luke 53)I Corinthinans 64)Titus
10)I Kings 21)Nahemiah
32)Lamentations 43)John 54)II Corinthians 65)Philemon
11)II King 22)Habakkuk 33)Ecclesiastes
44)Acts 55)Galatians 66)Revelation
(Original means the Oldest or most original that were
known in the world, at this time.)
Some of the books assign themselves, either totally or
in part to a particular scribes name, while others are anonymous. The
books which reveal (in part or totally) the scribe's identity are:
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, 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 the Song of Solomon ascribe themselves to Solomon,
Ecclesiastes ascribes itself only the "son of David" which most believe to
be Solomon. Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah ascribe themselves to these
respective scribes. James, 1 and 2 Peter, and Jude bear the name 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 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Job, Ruth, Lamentations, Esther, 1
and 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, 2 and 3 John, and Hebrews.
Moses has 4, Solomon 3, Peter 2, Paul 13, and the other
unidentified scribes have one book each.
The number 66 is 6-11's (Feature 1). The anonymous
books are 22 or 2 11's. The non-anonymous books are 44 or 4-11's (Feature
2). Of these 44, 22 (or 2-11's) belong to writers of more then one book
and 22 (again 2 11's) belong to writers of only one book (Feature 3). The
sum of the 66 numbers is 2,211 or 201-11'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 115-11's) (Feature 4).
Of these 66 books, 21 are Epistles. Their numbers are
(James to Philemon) 45 to 65. The sum 2,211 for the 66 books can be
divided between Epistles and non-Epistles. The Epistles have 1,155 (or
105-11's) and the non-Epistles have 1,056 (or 96-11's) (Feature 5).
Moses, 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 book is 132
(or 12-11's) (Feature 6).
The Numeric Values of the Bible Writer's names are:
The total sum of these is 7,931 which is 11 X 7 X 103.
This can also be expressed as 721-11's, while the sum of the factors 7, 11
and 103 is 121 or 11-11's. (Features 7 and 8)
There may be some that may claim that this could be by
accidental or by design. That the number of books in the Bible 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 an accident. However, the Chance is 11 in 11 times 11 or one 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
accident is one in 11 times 11 times 11 or one chance in 1,331.
Using a 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 being 7,931 is a multiple of
seven (Feature 9) as well as a multiple of eleven. Of this number, the
21(3 X 7) writers of the Old Testament 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 is 345 and 1069 which equal 1414 or 202-7's (Feature 14).
The Bible begins with the Hebrew word "beginning" and
ends with the word "saint". The Hebrew word occurs in the following books:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 1 Samuel, Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Psalms, Proverbs, Job,
Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Nehemiah and 2 Chronicles. The Greek word occurs in
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, Romans, 1
Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ephesians, Philemon and Revelation. These books
total 42 or 6-7's. Take the number of these books in order of their
respective place and the sum is 1575 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
times 214,358,881 or one in one thousand million millions!(Or one in
1.231 X 10 raised to the 15th power.)
It would be impossible, therefore, to claim accident or
cnspiracy in the phenomena indicated. The above clearly demonstrates the
design of:
1. The number and order of the books as received.
2. The proportion between anonymous and non-anonymous
books.
3 and 4. The proportion between books written by an
author of a single book and those written by authors of more than one
book.
5. The proportion between Epistle and non-Epistle
books.
6. The number of Old Testament writers quoted in the
New Testament.
The Bible was written by some thirty different writers
from many different walks of life over a period of 1600 years between its
first and last writers. If we assume that it was exclusively written by
HUMAN hands, we cannot account for the mathematical phenomena
demonstrated. If we assume that a Superior Mathematical Mind (The
Mathematical Author of Nature) has planned these phenomena, then we are
provided with an immediate and rational explanation of these phenomena and
others found in the Bible.
The Genealogy of our Lord Jesus
The genealogy of Christ as found in Matthew 1:1-17
consists of two main divisions: Verses 1-11 cover the period from Abraham,
the father of the chosen people, to the captivity, when the jews stopped
being an independent people. Verses 12-17 cover the period from the
captivity to the promised Messiah, The Christ.
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 a consonant.
Seven (1 X 7) words end with a vowel and 42 (6 X 7) end with a consonant.
These 49 words consist of 266 letters (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
If we take a look at the birth of Jesus in verses 18-25, we find:
The Number of words is 161 (23 X 7)
Their Numeric value is 93,394 (13,342 X 7)
The Number of Vocabulary is 77 (11 X 7)
The Numeric value of the Vocabulary is 51,247 (7,321 X
7)
There are six words found no where else in Matthew:
- Their Numeric Value is 5,005 (715 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 (9,347 X 7)
In these 105 forms there are 35 verbs (5 X 7)
There are seven proper names (1 X 7)
The Number of letters in these proper names is 42 (6 X
7)
One word "Emmanuel" is used nowhere else in the New
Testament and has a numeric value of 644 (92 X 7)
(add the figures 6 4 4 together for 14) (2 X 7)
The number of forms exclusive to this passage by
Matthew is 14 (2 X 7)
The angel uses 28 of the 77 vocabulary words (4 X 7)
The numeric value of all the angel's words 21,042 (3006
X 7)
The angel use 35 forms (5 X 7)
These 35 have 168 letters (24 X 7)
The numeric value of these letters is 19,397 (2,771 X
7)
The angel does not use 49 vocabulary (7 X 7)
The angel does not use 70 forms (10 X 7)
The chance of this being an accident or by human design is 1 in
206,000,000,000,000,000,000 (206 quintillion- 21 digits)
Our Intent With This Report
It is not the desire of this report to produce anything
other than an insight into the immeasurable intelligence that produced the
Bible. The same intelligence that produced the limitless stretched of
space, that produced the smallest one cell creature, the one that created
it ALL, is the only source that could have produced the Bible as it
presently stands.
