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 (4x7).

 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 (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 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 (2x7); the four words have also
14 (2x7).

The Hebrew language was 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.

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 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, earth, have 14 letters (2x7). 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 tommorrow" 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 and 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 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 text 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, phone information.
