- 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 12.Isa 23.Zep 34.Esth 45.James
- 2. Exodus 13.Jer 24.Hag 35.Dan 46.I Peter
- 3. Lev 14.Ezek 25.Zech 36.Ezra 47.II Peter
- 4. Numbers 15.Hosea 26.Mal 37.Nehem 48.I John
- 5. Deut 16.Joel 27.Psa 38.I Chr 49.II John
- 6. Joshua 17.Amos 28.Prov 39.II Chr 50.III John
- 7. Judges 18.Obad 29.Job 40.Matt 51.Jude
- 8. I Sam 19.Jonah 30.Song 41.Mark 52.Romans
- 9. II Sam 20.Micah 31.Ruth 42.John 53.I Cor
- 56. Eph 62.I Tim
- 57. Phile 63.II Tim
- 58. Col 64.Titus
- 59. I Thes 65.Phil
- 60. II Ths 66.Revelation
- 61. Hebrews
-
- * 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 and 2 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 and
- 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Job, Ruth, Lamentations, Esther, 1 and 2
- Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 2 and 3 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 non-anonymous 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 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 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
- 105-11'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:
-
- Moses 345 Isaiah 401 Jeremiah 271
- Hosea 381 Joel 47 Amos 176
- Jonah 71 Micah 75 Nahum 104
- Zephaniah 235 Zechariah 242 Malachi 101
- Solomon 375 Daniel 95 Ezra 278
- James 833 Haggai 21 Peter 755
- Paul 781 John 781 John 1069
- Ezekiel 156 Obadiah 91 Habbakuk 216
- David 14 Nehemiah 113 Jude 685
-
- 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 721-11'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 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 CHANCH OF ACCIDENT IS 1 IN 11!
-
- That this number can be divided between anonymous and non anonymous
- books in such manner as to be multiples of 11 could also be accident;
- However, THE CHANCH IS 1 IN 11 TIMES 11 or ONE CHANCH 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 chanch for it being accident is ONE IN 11
- TIMES 11 TIMES 11 or ONE CHANCH IN 1,331.
-
- If we carry out the progressions through the eight occurances proven
- above, we concede that each one could be accidental; However, the
- chanch for them all being so becomes ONE CHANCH IN 11 TO THE EIGTH
- 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 7931 is a multiple of seven (Feature
- 9) as well as leven . 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,
- 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 1069 equal 1414 or 202-7's (Feature 14)
-
- The Bible begins with the Hebrew word "beginning" and ends with the
- Greek 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, Jude,
- Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philemon and
- Revelation. These books total 42 or 6-7's. take the number of these
- books in the 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 occuring together is ONE IN 5,764,801 TIMES 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 mathmatic phenomena
- demonstrated. If we assume that a SUPERIOR MATHMATICAL MIND (The
- Mathmatical Author of Nature) has planned these phenomena, provides an
- immediate and rational explanation of these phenomena and others found
- in the Bible.
-
- 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.
