Chapter and Verse

The image above is specifically labeled the 'Original Christian Bible', not because I'm Catholic or Eastern Orthodox (I'm neither). Rather the title is simply a historical fact. Prior to the Protestant Reformation, all Bibles contained 73 books based on a canonization centuries earlier.

Unless then you believe that Christianity was born exclusively with Martin Luther and the advent of the printing press, then you must give some credence to the original catalog of the historical Christian Church.

The Mosaic of the Synoptic Gospels

Some have questioned whether the verses of the Bible are sacred or simply an addition of man. More and more evidence is mounting that even the verse system may be holy. The three synoptic gospels, those gospels that had a common source, known as Q, display a startling pattern in their verses. All three together have exactly 2,900 verses.

THE GOSPELS OF MATTHEW & MARK & LUKE = 2,900 verses

The key to this grand puzzle is of course found in the name of Jesus.

The Hebrew name of Jesus (spelled correctly) shows the pattern of the Three Seven Fractal, that runs all throughout the scriptures. By using the pattern of the squares of the three and seven we can make an all too regular grid of the very verses themselves.

TITLES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

Many of the authors of the New Testament were themselves Apostles of Christ. If we take the index of a standard Greek New Testament and list the names of the books, in Greek, without repeating any of the names we find another triangular formation of letters.

This triangle (T17, the 17th triangle) is compelling because it has 153 letters. Much has been written about the number 153 and just why it was singled out in the New Testament, with the 153 cited fish pulled in from the net of the Disciples.

NO REPEATED TITLES

The ordinal sum of this triangle is 1875. The name that is obviously missing is that of Jesus Christ (also in the ordinal).

Jesus Christ (o) = 205

1875 + 205 = 2080

Perimeter of Genesis 1:1 Letter Triangle = 2080

2080 = 64th Triangle

If we try this again, now using all the titles of the New Testament, including repeated names, we have another triangle or T20.

Here again when we add the ordinal sum of Jesus Christ, BUT NOW in the Hebrew, we find an exact match with the primary verse of Biblical mathematics, the protoverse

210 Letters of New Testament Titles = 2586

Jesus the Messiah (o) = 115

2586 + 115 = 2701

Genesis 1:1 = 2,701

CONTENT TABLE OF THE MODERN GREEK NEW TESTAMENT

The way modern publishers listed the books of the Bible varied from how the ancient books were codified by the scribes and scriptoriums of the monastaries of the Church. Above is listed a standard form of the index. Another common form, in a modern Greek New Testament is listed below. Modern Greek New Testament Index:

ΤΑ ΒΙΒΛΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΙΝΗΣ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗΣ

(The Books of the New Testament)

ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ Γ

ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΙΟΥΔΑ

ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ (The Apocalypse (Revelation) of John)

As with the other index, should we remove the ordinal markers for the second and third letters (i.e. 1st John, 2nd John, etc.), a puzzle reveals itself. The number of letters without the ordinal markers is 361. This is of course, 19 squared and as we are learning more and more and again and again, squares are the way that God ever so subtlety indicates that the contents are true. This is suggested and confirmed by the fact that the two words for Truth in Biblical Greek and Hebrew are both squared numbers.

It is further confirmed by the fact, that sum of this entire configuration is 4,635 which happens to be a perfect square of the English Jesus.

Jesus (English) = 515

515 x 9 = 4,635

JESUS JESUS JESUS

The number of letters in this configuration is 361. Most propitious indeed! For 361 is the sum of the Hebrew HaNotzri, that is: The Nazarene, which in Hebrew can be translated as the The Christ. In other words, the sum of the Content Table of the New Testament is equal to the Christ. How appropriate.

The Christ (Nazarene) הנוצרי = 361

The fact that this word is in the Hebrew should not trouble us at all. In fact, it is far more common that these sorts of puzzles are solved by the opposite language or the opposite Testament. This is the meaning of 37x73, everything in opposition, that is, the answer is always in the mirror....

Indeed, looking at the sum of the cross of this configuration, we see that it comes to 470, which is the same sum of the Hebrew word Tanakh, meaning the Old Testament.

תנך Tanakh (The Old Testament) = 470

Cross of the Contents of the New Testament = 470

THE GOSPEL AUTHORS

If we take the names of the authors of the four gospels we find another surprising connection in the ordinal.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John

Ματθαιος Μαρκος Λουκας Ιωαννης

83, 73, 85, 75 = 316

It is unknown whether or the writers of the New Testament were aware or employed the ordinal numeration. However, looking at the pattern of the four numbers (83, 73, 85, 75) we see a semi regular pattern: AC, BC; AD, BD.

Like a fractal, these four names that start the New Testament seem to anticipate the eventual whole of the New Testament. The writers of these early works, could not of course be aware of the eventual make up of the cannonized New Testament, God however, could and it would be just like God to leave a hint in the spellings of their names. For when we count the letters of these four names, we find. like the number of the books of the New Testament, it is a cube.

Μ Α Τ

Θ Α Ι

Ο Σ Μ

Α Ρ Κ

Ο Σ Λ

Ο Υ Κ

Α Σ Ι

Ω Α Ν

Ν Η Σ

The Cube of the Gospel Authors

(Each letter square represents a layer of the cube)

What is fantastic about this cube of 316, that could be called the Cube of Yeshu-Jesus, is that when we subtract the center of the cube (the letter Sigma or 'S') the remainder, or skin of the cube comes to 298, both ordinal.

Cube's Exterior = 298

Genesis 1:1 = 298

The meaning of this to me is plain. It is saying: "The author of Genesis 1:1 is the author of the names of the four authors of the Gospels."

THE CROSS OF HEAVEN

The number of books of the Bible and their respective chapters has long been standardized, but has never been considered, necessarily, part of the Bible’s Holy Inspiration. We now have evidence, however, that even the chapter and verse of the Bible was not left to chance, but was meticulously engineered by the hand of the Most High.

The meaning of this rebus puzzle should be obvious to any Christian.

CROSS = HEAVEN

ANSWER: Belief in the saving power of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross gets you to HEAVEN!

The graphic above displays how God often encodes multiple puzzles in the same work.

THE FIRST LETTERS OF THE BIBLE

God has called himself the first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega. It is through this understanding that we can search for puzzles in the first letters of the books of the Bible. Such a puzzle would not span centuries but continents, cultures and people. Only the God of the Bible could possible arrange such a feat. It would seem a Christian would leave an all too Christian puzzle, one that revealed His Triune nature.

THE CROSS OF PAUL

The authorship of the New Testament book of Hebrews has recently been questioned. Traditionally it is held to be written by Paul. God anticipates such controversies and highlights them through time with Biblical mathematics. The chapters of Paul’s writing reveal a long hidden secret.

The meaning of this puzzle is similar to the Heaven Puzzle:

CROSS = LIFE

ANSWER: Belief in the sacrifice of the cross merits Eternal Life!

A TRINITY OF STARS

There are 39 books in the Old Testament. That number may look random at first but in it resides the Trinity. The name Jesus Christ in Greek has exactly 13 letters which form the first real mathematical Star of David.

3 x 13 = 39

In Hebrew Gematria, the number 39 has one correlation that stands above all the others in its Biblical and theological importance. We found it in the most holy prayer of Judaism and that commandment which Christ cited as the greatest of commandments.

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear o Israel, the Lord Your God is One

יהוה אחד = The Lord is One = 39

The culmination of this most holy of Jewish prayers turns out to be nothing less than a confirmation of the Trinity of God.

THE CUBE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

The canonization of the books of the New Testament is nearly as ancient as the writings themselves. The basis of that canonization was the provenance of the text and the theology of its composition. It has never been suggested that it had anything to do with figurative mathematics.

We can also peer into this cube by analyzing the first letters of these New Testament books. When we do so we find a preponderance of the letter ‘P’ the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. We can thank this preponderance of P’s to the first letter of the names of Paul and Peter, by which they start all their epistles.

THE PYTHAGOREAN PRIME OF THE LORD

The four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are the foundation of the New Testament. Altogether they have 89 chapters. This long overlooked fact hides a hidden puzzle, the key to this puzzle, naturally enough, is the Hebrew name of Jesus.
