Genesis 1:1 (the Protoverse) is the foundation of Theistic Mathematics. Its apparent simplicity belies an awe inspiring complexity. The seven words of the first verse has produced hundreds of pages of mathematical evidence.
Stephen's work on Genesis 1:1 is a fantastic demonstration of the depth of design of Biblical mathematics.
The Hexagram or Star of David is a primary template employed to decode the mathematics that underscore the Judaeo-Christian Scriptures.

One of Stephen Coneglan's most celebrated achievements is called the New Jerusalem Cube. It is perhaps the most advanced and complex configuration yet discovered.
New Jerusalem Cube Diagonal Pairs
New Jerusalem Cube Double Pyramid
The year and number 1776 is an important element in Theistic Mathematics. It is also incorporated in the New Jerusalem Cube.
Stephen finds fascinating connections in many of the fundamental symbols and icons of the modern world. Explore his discoveries on the pyramid.
Stephen's work concentrates on the 12 tribes of Israel. His discoveries are based on a 12-sided geometric figure called a Dodecagram.
Stephen has done some groundbreaking work on the lily or in Hebrew the Shushan. The lily is an important poetic symbol used in ancient Hebrew literature. Stephen's seminal work on this symbol is fascinating.
Stephen's scholarship in Hebrew is world class. Read his work on Zebulon, for the double plene spelling of the name.
The Star of Israel and the Wilderness Encampment
Discoverer: Stephen Coneglan
This discovery was made by Stephen Coneglan, but is presented on Vernon Jenkin's website. It is one of the most amazing configurations in all of Biblical numerics. It is found in the triangular matrix of the Star of David, the modern Star of Israel. Here in a dazzling display of mathematical virtuosity, the star shows how the tribes of Israel in the wilderness encampment, was in fact one enormous prophetic riddle about the coming of the Messiah, who would be called Jesus Christ.

Stephen Coneglan describes the New Jerusalem Cube
I've done what I can to make a PowerPoint for the New Jerusalem Cube.
Years of research went into it.
It deals with the stones of the tribes of Israel.
It postulates that these are the same stones covering the foundations of the New Jerusalem.
It deals with the gematria for the twelve tribes.
It postulates a cubic structure for the New Jerusalem.
It uses the tribal order from the last five verses in Ezekiel.
It assumes a composite nuclear point occupied by four tribes.
It places the remaining eight tribes at the eight vertices of the cube.
It follows a logical order at every step that is stunning in the symmetry it reveals.
It deals with the Mazzaroth signs for the twelve tribes.
These also display a logical ordering system that is beautiful in its symmetry and construction principles.
I've added notes beneath every slide to give a summary of their content.
You should be able to follow it easily enough over time.
I have only included the basics in the presentation.
- How to construct the cube
- How to place the tribes
- How the stones determine the tribal placements
- How a constant and unbroken flow of movement is created by the order of the stones
- How the Mazzaroth signs supplement the tribal placement with a complementary order
- How the key numbers are found
- How the Lord's Name appears as a gematrically-derived iota-chi monogram when the cube is viewed through one of its diagonals
I haven't explained many things.
- How the tribal stones were arrived at
- How the identities of the stones were arrived at
- How the tribes were placed with their Mazzaroth signs
I have left some stuff out altogether.
- The placement and alignment of the twelve apostles with the twelve tribes
- (Andrew = Reuben = Aquarius / Simon Peter = Simeon = Pisces / James = Gad = Aries / John = Joseph = Taurus, etc.)
- Nearly everything to do with the numerical wonders to be found in the cube
- None of the mathematical properties encoded, e.g. sqrt 3 and its roots, etc.
- None of the connections to Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1-5
- A million other things
I could cover all these things but it would take forever.
As far as I know, no one else has ever arrived at the systems I have unearthed from the relevant texts.
No one else has the tribal order as found in this presentation.
I can assure you that here it is faultless.
No one else has ever linked the tribes with the exact match of Mazzaroth signs as found in the presentation.
There have been some very near misses, however.
Bullinger transposed Issachar and Zebulun, and this threw me out for the longest time.
Eventually I figured it out, then everything fell into place after that.
But he was the closest, and yet his one error proved to be a major stumbling block.
I can assure you that here it is now faultless.
No one else has ever matched the tribes with the stones as found in this presentation.
Some good attempts have been made but none have ever been very close.
I can assure you that the match here is faultless, although the modern names are up for discussion.
We will never arrive with absolute certainty at the true identities of the stones, but what we have here is as close as possible.
I first started on this exactly 30 years ago.
I left off completely for 15 years, not long after finding the first minor breakthrough.
At that time there was no Internet and information came at a premium.
I slowly started again after coming across Vernon's work in 2002.
Once I got into the gematria thing, the discoveries came extremely thick and fast.
I worked on it, off and on, for a few years.
Then I stopped once I'd found everything.
That was ten years ago.
If you follow the PowerPoint very carefully, and read the notes, you will have a lot of questions.
But you need a tremendous amount of research behind you to follow certain placements.
You would be best advised to leave the heavier questions for later.
Just absorb what is going on and the superlative order that is in this construction.
I can confidently say you will have not come across anything like it before.
Please remember that this is just the beginning.
There is so much more stuff in there.
But even just what is found in the slides ought to leave you dumbfounded.
When you've absorbed it as best you can, you will appreciate more the connections that run like a web through the Bible.
How on earth did John organize his data so brilliantly?
He could not have known all the breastplate stones, let alone order them in cubic fashion.
It amazes me that he hints to us frequently that this city is kind of trans-dimensional and yet all models of the city miss this intuition.
I guess it's a real challenge to get a handle on what he was trying to describe, but it certainly wasn't of this world.
It amazes me, too, when I read the chapter sometimes and realize this city really could be a whole new universe.
Not some silly looking cube with twelve gates that humans walk through, as if a human city had some glitter thrown over it for special effects.
The New Jerusalem is something special and John did a magnificent job in having a crack at describing it.
His mastery of symbols and geometry blows me away.
This New Jerusalem Cube diagram does not capture the essence of John's description either.
But in its properties, I think it gives us a very brief glimpse, through a glass darkly at best.
The way the energy flows around the diagonals and repeats its journey, over and over.
To me, that speaks of eternal life without end, a deliberate tautology made for effect.
That the nucleus is made of the first tribe for each of the four gate structures at the end of Ezekiel, and that these combined tribes all sharing the nuclear vertex at the heart of the cube should sum to 888.
And even if you multiply the same four numbers forming the nucleus, you still get a multiple of 888.
And the way the number 888 figures with the eight vertices of the cube.
And that a cube can be imagined as six inverting pyramids sharing the same apex, which is the nuclear point.
And that paired with their opposites, these pyramids make three stylized forms of the number 8, kind of like three hourglasses.
And the 13 axes of symmetry that a cube has.
And the 26 points at which these 13 axes reach the surface of the cube and transmit the nuclear number 888 to the surface.
And 26 x 888 = John 1:2-5.
And the 9 planes of symmetry overwritten with the lines from the 13 axes of symmetry, forming a Union Jack shape on the surface of each plane.
And this same Union Jack pattern appearing on all six faces of the transparent cube, making 15 Union Jack formations when added to the 9 internal ones.
I could go on and on and on and on.
But that would take forever.
So here's the New Jerusalem Cube.
I think it's a cut above all the work I've ever done with the genetic code, which is also substantial.
And, of course, it also intersects with it in places.
But it is the best work I have ever done and you'll be hard-pressed to find anything else remotely like it.
And I'm guessing someone smarter than us all will find stuff in there that will really blow us all away.
(Some brain-box physicist with way too much time on his hand, as it probably will be a male.)
I hope so!
Shushan -The Lily
Stephen Coneglan believes that the Shushan (lily) שושן H7799, is the historical basis of the hexagram or 'Star of David'.
The hexagram is a primary coding template that we find again and again in the decodes of Biblical mathematics. Hit the link to see Stephen's slide presentation on the Shushan and read the copy below to learn more.
Click the Shushan to see the presentation:
It is my intuitive understanding that the shushan of the Hebrew Bible stands behind the hexagram.
The hexagram is referred to as the Star of David nowadays.
This is true at least for the hexagram which represents the nation state of Israel.
I came to this understanding regarding the shushan as hexagram through researching the lily.
It was the Zecharian corpus that initiated this investigation.
It has proven to be extremely fruitful.
The lily was a major design element in the First Temple.
The capitals of the twin pillars Boaz and Jachin were liliform.
These stood before the entrance to the Temple itself.
Bible translations do not capture the precise meaning of the Hebrew text.
They suggest that the capitals were adorned with lily-work.
This is not correct because the capitals were in fact themselves lily flowers.
The capitals are described as bowls not long after being described as lily-work.
I think the two descriptions are supposed to be read as informing one another.
What I believe the text is saying is that the capitals are in the form of bowl-shaped lilies.
See 1 Kings 7:19,22 where the text says that the capitals of the two pillars are fashioned as lilies.
See 1 Kings 7:41 where the text says that the capitals of the two capitals are bowls.
Splice these two descriptions together and we have two bowl-shaped lilies as capitals to the two pillars.
This would mean that the pillars themselves function similar to stalks.
Atop the stalks are the flowers.
The two pillars with their capitals may well be representative of two lilies.
The Brazen Sea is somewhat similar.
It is also described as being of lily-work.
Again I think that the translation has missed the sense of the Hebrew.
The description of the Brazen Sea says that its brim was like a cup.
It says also that the brim was of lily-work.
Again the descriptions are supposed to be spliced together.
See 1 Kings 7:26 for the description of the shape of the Brazen Sea.
The text describes the brim as like that of a cup and then like a lily flower.
The Brazen Sea was therefore in the form of a cup-shaped lily.
Lilies come in several recognised forms.
Bowl-shaped lilies are common.
Cup-shaped lilies are also common.
Ran Silberman is a tech worker who lives in Israel and is a official tour guide. His blog can be seen here:
https://ransilberman.blog/2017/01/
At all events Ran Silberman says that the capitals are in a geometrical form based on the lily.
He says the capitals are lily flowers and in this he is correct.
It remains to be seen what kind of lily was meant though I suspect lilium candidum is our lily of candidacy for the capitals.
The text says that the capitals of the pillars were bowl-shaped lilies.
This contrasts with the Brazen Sea which was in the form of a cup-shaped lily.
Cetainly the word shoshan is from the Hebrew (via Akkadian) word for the number six.
In conclusion I tentatively suggest lilium candidum as the model for the capitals of Boaz and Jachin.
I then suggest tulipa agenensis as the model for the Brazen Sea.
Remember King Solomon had advanced understanding in botanical matters and this includes flowers of the lily family.
Below is Stephen Coneglan's outline of the '6-around-1' concept of Scripture. This is the elemental basis of the hexagram, 6 points surrounding a 7th center, a structure that can be seen in the first verse.
The outline is fairly simple and symmetrical.
The structure functions in each case as 6-around-1.
Each successive structure is nested within its predecessor.
Allow me to give a brief outline.
Structure 1 has Seven Textual Units that function according to theme:
(1) Haggai 1:1-15 where the theme is expressed as Retrospect
(2) Haggai 2:1-23 where the theme is expressed as Prospect
(3) Zechariah 1:1-6 where the theme is expressed as Retrospect
(4) Zechariah 1:7 - 6:8 where the theme moves from Retrospect to Prospect
(5) Zechariah 6:9-15 where the theme is expressed as Prospect
(6) Zechariah 7:1-14 where the theme is expressed as Retrospect
(7) Zechariah 8:1-23 where the theme is expressed as Prospect
The Seven Textual Units figure as a 6-around-1 structure with Unit 4 at the centre.
Typically this set also groups into three sections:
A) Haggai 1-2
B) Zechariah 1-6
C) Zechariah 7-8
At the centre of the Seven Textual Units we see Unit (4) Zechariah 1:7 - 6:8.
This is by far the biggest of the Seven Textual Units and features the Seven Visions of Zechariah.
This forms Structure 2 which is already nested within the first (verse notation from the Hebrew Bible):
(Vision 1) 1:7-17 with the horses and the rider having a cosmic/worldly mise-en-scene
(Vision 2) 2:1-4 with four horns and four craftsmen having the land of Judah vis-a-vis the world as mise-en-scene
(Vision 3) 2:5-17 with the man and a measuring line having Jerusalem as mise-en-scene
(Vision 4) 3:1-10 with Joshua the High Priest having the Divine Council as mise-en-scene
(Vision 5) 4:1-14 with the lampstand and two olive trees having Jerusalem as mise-en-scene
(Vision 6) 5:1-11 with the flying megillah and the flying ephah having the land of Judah vis-a-vis the world as mise-en-scene
(Vision 7) 6:1-8 with the four chariots and horses having a cosmic/worldly mise-en-scene
The symmetry is obvious and has been amply covered by scholarship.
The only major point missed is that Vision 6 is a single composite vision and not two separate visions.
Scholarly by and large acknowledges the close relationship of both parts but mistakenly splits them.
This is an error that requires rectification.
The Seven Visions figure as a 6-around-1 structure.
Once again it breaks down into sets of three:
(a) The three Divine Council genre visions: 1, 4 and 7
(b) The three Purgation and Elimination visions: 2, 4 and 6
(c) The three Eye of Yahweh visions: 3, 4 and 5
Vision 4 at 3:1-10 is at the centre of the 6-around-1 structure.
At Zech 3:9 we encounter the first mention of the number seven in the "one stone seven eyes" set before Joshua.
The Hebrew numerical root sheba meaning "seven" occurs earlier at Zech 1:12 but in the dual form shebaim meaning "seventy."
At all events the occurrence of the numerical root sheba at Zech 3:9 is the first time the word occurs in the singular as "seven."
These facts are extremely important for the next structure.
This structure is called the Seven Sevens.
Structure 3 is built on the fact that Zechariah uses the numerical root sheba meaning "seven" exactly seven times.
Haggai never uses the root.
As before Zechariah creates a symmetrical structure in the way he utilises the numerical root sheba.
He does this in two ways.
First he uses mirrored orthography in the spelling of the root sheba.
Second the referents he uses in sequence are mirrored and symmetrical.
The technical term used by scholars to describe this symmetry is chiasmus.
Structure 1 and 2 are both constructed in this manner.
The Seven Textual Units exhibit reflexive symmetry as do the Seven Visions.
In fact both structures are even more complex in their symmetry.
They both attain an iota-chi form and are better described by the coined term iota-chiasmus.
The same applies too in the next nested structure which also exhibits iota-chiasm in a 6-around-1 form.
Structure 3 is therefore the iota-chiasmus of the Seven Sevens in their consecutive occurrences:
(1) 1:13 Seventy Years = shebaim shaneh
(2) 3:9 Seven Eyes = shebah ayinim (dual/plural)
(3) 4:2 Seven Lamps = w'shebah neroth (defective)
(4) 4:2 Seven Openings = shebah mutsaqoth
(5) 4:2 Seven Lamps = w'shebah neroth (plene)
(6) 4:10 Seven Eyes = shebah ayini (plural)
(7) 7:5 Seventy Years = shebaim shaneh
The structure takes a 6-around-1 form with the referent mutsaqoth alone appearing just the one time.
These mutsaqoth as Seven Openings are at the centre of the Seven Sevens
The numerical root sheba occurs nowhere else in the Haggai - Zechariah 1-8 corpus.
As usual the text exhibits symmetrical sets of threes in addition to the sevens:
a) The exact spelling shebah occurs at positions (2), (4) and (6) only
b) The three central occurrences are all tightly grouped in a seven word block at 4:2
The three central occurrences all describe the structure atop the lampstand at 4:2.
Importantly occurrence (4) and (5) are yoked together as shebah w'shebah.
These describe the number of mutsaqoth for each neroth.
This refers to the number of openings in each lamp.
The mutsaqoth become therefore the final structure.
They have an exponential function.
They indicate that each of the Seven Lamps has Seven Openings.
The purpose of each opening is to shine forth light.
These Seven Lamps are related to the Seven Eyes of Yahweh.
They watched over the people during their Seventy Years in exile from the land of Judah.
They now watch over the land/world at 4:10 once the people have returned to their homeland.
The mutsaqoth are seven in number on each of the Seven Lamps.
This places the mutsaqoth at the centre of the Seven Lamps as well as upon each of them.
They are the Seven Eyes on each of the Seven Lamps.
They also function as an exponent indicating increase and reproduction.
These ideas are critical to the Shushan PPT.
The Haggai - Zechariah 1-8 corpus has the following four nested 6-around-1 structures:
[1] Seven Textual Units, at the centre of which we find,
[2] Seven Visions, at the centre of which is Vision 4 where we meet,
[3] Seven Eyes, which lead us to the Seven Sevens at the centre of which are,
[4] Seven Openings, which are upon all Seven Lamps as Seven Eyes giving us seven times seven lights
The Shushan PPT needs to reflect this structure if it aims to be an analogue for the Haggai - Zechariah 1-8 corpus.
There needs to be therefore a further 6-around-1 structure prior to the final one at the Embryo Sac.
The Embryo Sac is the layer at which reproduction takes place.
The mutsaqoth level has this function at the centre of the Seven Sevens.
It is the place where reproduction occurs.
The Seven Openings are reproduced upon each of the Seven Lamps as Seven Eyes.
I went looking for this extra 6-around-1 structure in the lily.
I found it where I expected it would be between the Androecium Structure and the Embryo Sac.
The Gynoecium becomes the site of this further 6-around-1 structure.
It transpires that the Pistil Structure of the lily divides into three parts.
These are the stigma, the style and the ovary.
They are the three parts of the entire pistil.
Moreover these three parts divide into a seven part structure.
The pistil evolved from three carpels that fused during the process of evolution.
Technically this is referred to as a syncarpous pistil.
The result is that the lily has three stigmas that are fused at the top of the pistil.
The styles completely fused during evolution resulting in just a single style rather than three for the lily.
The ovaries fused to form a structure at the bottom of the pistil.
This structure has three chambers called locules.
The ovules reside within these locules.
So the pistil of the lily is composed of seven parts:
1) Three stigmas fused at the top in the form of a three-lobed stigma that receives the pollen
2) One style through which the pollen tunnels to reach the ovary
3) Three locules at the base in which the ovules reside
The three-lobed stigma is where the pollen settles to begin the process of fertilisation.
It is at the top of the Pistil Structure.
The style is at the centre of the Pistil Structure.
It is the stalk-like structure that the pollen must tunnel through in order for fertilisation to occur.
At the end of this structure are the ovules within the three locules at the base of the Pistil Structure.
This is the site where fertilisation occurs and reproduction takes place.
This final structure is the Embryo Sac.
This is the fourth and final 6-around-1 structure.
The four 6-around-1 nestedstructures of the lily are:
[1] The perianth and reproductive whorls, at the centre of which are,
[2] The reproductive whorls, at the centre of which is,
[3] The Pistil Structure, at the base of which we enter,
[4] The Embryo Sac
The likeness is so extraordinary as to make one consider contemplatively the counsel of Christ himself:
"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
(Matthew 6:28,29)
