    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    Before I can show you more I have to make a staggering claim: the modern English language is also encoded. In fact my initial calling was to find information within the NIV '84 in British English (I'm a Scot), although the US edition contains nearly all of it too. With new revisions, such as the...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    Well, as a Messianic Jew you might especially appreciate my next construction. It isn't found in the Hebrew Bible but the full Hebrew name and title equivalent to 'Jesus the Messiah' is Yehoshua HaMashiach. The value of these words is 754 and this number of counters forms a triangle of...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    I can't do multiquote yet, soforgive the block reply here I'm no theologian and I suspect this is more your territory. I have a geometric answer to your point, several triangles that are composed of the names of the Trinity. But to give it would put this out of sequence, like giving an answer...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    I found what was buried in the Bible by its Creator. Some would rather it stayed buried, but it is a gift to us all, buried not in the spirit of a pirate burying treasure, but of a loving Father wrapping gifts for his children who have come of age. Everything about these codes suggests the...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    I agree. How's this for a rock then? This is the Trinity in Greek and Hebrew as strata within the rock that is triangle 6328, formed by summing the values of Genesis 1.1 (2701) and John 1.1 (3627) and a suitable metaphor for the eternal Trinity.

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    I understand and certain numbers have consciously been inserted into the text by the writers, the many instances of the number seven in Genesis being a well-known example. But this is mathematics, not Kabbalah, a Divine watermark through the text, not numerology (except in the broadest sense)...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    It's an interesting question, whether or not God created mathematics, which is a purely formal system of ideas and could in principle be worked out by anyone at any time. You could argue He did not create mathematics - it simply IS. 1+ 1 = 2 and all else follows. That doesn't restrict God in...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    The positions of each letter in the Hebrew Bible's opening verse have been arranged so as to encode the title 'The LORD God'. The Hebrew equivalent title is YHVH Elohim and it has been inserted into Genesis 1.1 in a remarkable way, employing the Hebrew letter Aleph. This is the first in their...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    You're most welcome. This information is there to be shared. In fact the pleasure of sharing it as much a part of what makes it worth while as discovering it. This is nothing less than a frozen miracle, there for all to witness and a testament to God's infinite power and the truth of His Word.

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    We can indeed find fractals in nature, which is why these fractals and many more are found in the prologues of Genesis and John, which deal with creation by the word of God. Incidentally, man's works tend to be Euclidean. The difference between God's creation and man's creations is the...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    God is beyond any description and I did not mean to suggest He is nothing more than a set of equations. Not at all. But just as we humans use language to communicate our thoughts, so God uses the universal language of mathematics to communicate His thoughts, coupling it toour own languages via...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    It has several related themes, although I can only give the briefest of overviews here. Firstly, it says that the original writers could not have encrypted these numbers. Neither could later editors have inserted them, because large portions of the scriptures and certainly the first verses of...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    A fundamental element of the mathematical code in the Bible is fractal geometry, unknown to the ancients but recently understood to influence natural forms, from snowflakes to clouds to life itself. This is encoded as the first steps towards the creation of the Koch snowflake and antisnowflake...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    Vernon was head of mathematics and computing at the University of South Wales, so it's possible they did know each other. As far as I am aware, though, Lennox argues for faith on the basis of its rationality. Vernon found solid evidence that the Bible contains mathematics, much of which was...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    He did (and by happy coincidence my middle name is Newton), although he worked with equidistant letter sequences, prefiguring the well-known Torah codes. This information is new, highly geometric, and essentially began with the work of the late Vernon Jenkins in 1979. Vernon was a Welshman and a...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    Yes, this information is mainly for people who already have faith, to edify and inspire them. I believe it can also be of help to those who are falling away from faith and those who are ready to take the leap of faith, but just need a little push. It may even cause a crack in the wall of denial...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    That's helpful for me to know. We get so engrossed in our work we can leave the layman behind, as I suppose, theologians can leave the average Christoan behind. I'm not a mathematician, although I do have a science background, so it's difficult to know how much people can absorb. Much of the...

    The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics

    I wasn't sure where to post this information, but it's a kind of apologetic, so hopefully it'll be acceptable here. The Bible is built on the solid rock of mathematical truth, and not, as doubters claim, the shifting sands of man's hopes, fears and prejudices. This level of information upholds...

    God heals people miraculously thru spiritual and physical means

    Having experienced a healing miracle myself, a manifestation and heard the testimony of a friend who told me her polio-damaged leg literally grew an inch during a healing prayer in front of her husband and the minister, I know miracles are real. I would postulate that, firstly, there are...

    Math Proves God Exists

    The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this Law. Deuteronomy 29.29, NIV It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. Proverbs 25.2, NIV...
