THE IMAGE OF GOD (Part 1)
By Leo Tavares
The central name of God in Hebrew is "YAHWEH". Genesis 1:1 is semantically related to both YAHWEH and ADAM (Genesis 1:1 introduces the Biblical creation account, which culminates in the creation of ADAM). I will demonstrate from Genesis 1:1 that the mathematical signature of YAHWEH (26) is deeply connected to the mathematical signature of ADAM (45), who is the Biblical progenitor of the human family. I will also demonstrate how the Genesis 1:1 Triangle (T73) is alphanumerically encoded with the numerical signature of Jesus Christ. In Part 2, we will expand on this by looking at further geometric proofs for the Deity of Jesus Christ.
The Old Testament of the Bible was revealed in Hebrew and the New Testament of the Bible was revealed in Greek. Biblical Hebrew and Greek are both ALPHANUMERIC LANGUAGES. That is, every letter in their alphabets is also a number (thus, every word in Hebrew/Greek also represents a numerical value by simply adding up the letter values in a given Hebrew/Greek word). It is important for the reader to keep in mind that this ancient Hebrew/Greek system of "Gematria" is not some modern invention. It is an ancient feature of BOTH the Hebrew and Greek alphabets. In fact, Hebrew and Greek (the two Biblical languages) happen to be the two languages with the greatest tradition of assigning numerical values to the letters of their alphabets.
There are two primary means of assigning numerical values to the Hebrew/Greek alphabets: The STANDARD value and the ORDINAL value. To get an idea of what is meant by the "Standard" value, here are the Standard values of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet ...
