ALPHA-GEMATRIA

The Bible teaches that God spoke creation into being. This ancient text (the most read document in human history) was originally revealed to the Jews, who themselves have an ancient tradition that God created the universe through the permutation of the 22 divine letters of the Hebrew alphabet. For example, we read the following in the 2,000 year old Jewish work called the Sefir Yetzirah:

"The foundations are the twenty-two letters; He hath formed, weighed, transmuted, composed, and created with these twenty-two letters every living thing"

The Biblical canon is divided into two major sections: The Old Testament and the New Testament. Remarkably, each of these two divisions were revealed in ancient alphanumeric languages. That is, Biblical Hebrew (the primary language of the Old Testament) has the property whereby each letter in its alphabet has a distinct numerical value. Likewise, Biblical Greek (the primary language of the New Testament) has the same alphanumeric property as Biblical Hebrew. Thus, by simply adding up the letter values within a given Hebrew/Greek word in the Bible, the Biblical Hebrew/Greek words have distinct numerical values that are essentially set in stone.

It is a known fact that this alphanumeric property of Biblical Hebrew/Greek is an ancient system of both Hebrew and Greek (i.e. it is not some modern invention). There are two primary methods of assigning numerical values to the letters of the Hebrew/Greek alphabets: The Standard method and the Ordinal method.

Here are the Standard values of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet:
