| Bible Codes. | |
| By: Edwin. Date: February 24, 2013, 4:30 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I am not an expert on Bible Codes, but I know that they do | |
| exist, unfortunately a lot of nonsense has been put forward as | |
| coming from Bible Codes , and has given the subject a bad name. | |
| I hope that what follows will go some way to redress the | |
| balance. | |
| There are at least 3 different Codes that I know of, they are | |
| ELS, Equidistant Letter Spacing, NS, Numeric Substitution, and | |
| FLS, First Letter Selection. | |
| I will try to give examples of all 3, but firstly the correct | |
| approach to Scripture is required. You must not go looking for a | |
| revelation to support your own private view, but rather thank | |
| the Lord in advance for just what He will reveal to you as you | |
| study His word. | |
| You may feel that Bible Codes are something that has only | |
| recently been discovered. Such is not in fact the case, they | |
| were certainly known about 2000 years ago. | |
| Let me now give you an example of FLS from John's Gospel.. Read | |
| Ch 19 vs 19-22. Why were the chief priests so concerned, they | |
| had got what they wanted, Jesus was on the cross, He would most | |
| certainly die, what did it matter what was written above His | |
| head?.. | |
| What had they seen, that others would also be able to see.. Well | |
| in Aramaic when a word is qualified by an article, a new single | |
| word was formed ie "The Jews" became "thejews" (no capital | |
| letters in Aramaic). | |
| If you take the most likely form that the original inscription | |
| took, and then translate it back into English, you would get | |
| "jesus nazareth andking thejews" ie 4 words. | |
| If you use FLS, then you get the most holy name of Almighty God | |
| as revealed at Ex Ch 3 v 14. This name was considered so holy, | |
| that Jews were forbidden to speak it out loud when reading | |
| scripture in public. | |
| The clearest indication possible that this man below the | |
| inscription is non other than The Lord your God. Now do you | |
| understand why they wanted it to read "He said that He was". | |
| Another code is "Numeric Substitution". It is normally concluded | |
| that Codes can only be found in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or | |
| Greek, this is not in fact the case, as you can also find a | |
| completely new set of information in a translation ie English. | |
| Take for example the First verse of the First Chapter of the | |
| first Book of the Bible. | |
| Have a look at the action word "Created". Now in Hebrew this | |
| word is made up of 4 letters, whereas in English it is 7 | |
| letters. Now the No 7, and it's multiples are very important | |
| numbers in Scripture. | |
| The 3 Bible languages do not have a separate table of numbers as | |
| we do in English, in their case a=1, b=2, c=3, and so on, we | |
| don't have this, but if we did then the first letter of created | |
| would =3, and the last letter would =4. | |
| God said "I am the first, and the last" so what happens if we | |
| add the first to the last, we get 7 again, but this is not all | |
| if we add up the numerical equivalents of all the letters of | |
| created we get a total of 308, a number which can be divided | |
| exactly by 7 with nothing left over. | |
| Three different lots of sevens in one word, Coincidence? I | |
| think not. | |
| How does one arrive at a total of 308? J=10, but K=20, L=30, | |
| until you get to 100, and then the next letter is 200, and so | |
| on. | |
| 7 goes into 308, 44 times. If you add 4+4, you get 8 which means | |
| �fresh start, new beginning� | |
| This is the 3rd part of my message on Bible Codes, and deals | |
| with Equidistant Letter Spacing. | |
| Firstly look at that wonderful love story, The Book of Ruth, and | |
| Ch 4 where we are told that Boaz married Ruth, and that She bore | |
| Obed,who fathered Jesse, who fathered David. | |
| Now read v 12, and ask yourself why the Holy Spirit caused the | |
| name of Tamar to be included? What is the connection between | |
| Tamar, and Ruth? Well firstly both of them are involved in a | |
| Levirate Marriage (see Deut Ch 25 vs 5-10), but this is not the | |
| only connection. | |
| Turn now to Gen Ch 38 where Tamer is found, and in the original | |
| Hebrew, take every 49th letter (7 times 7)and to your amazement | |
| you will find that the following 5 names appear in their correct | |
| order of descent BOAZ RUTH OBED JESSE DAVID. | |
| Yes Bible Codes are real, but be careful what you go looking | |
| for. The Lord our God is Awesome enough, without you trying to | |
| make Him more so. | |
| May He bless you all. | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| The Biblical significance of the number eight | |
| Which means. Fresh start, new beginning. | |
| Our Lord Jesus was raised on the first day of the following | |
| week, or if you like the eighth day of the previous week. | |
| It could be argued that there are only seven days in a week, | |
| this of course is true, but the expression, "the eighth day", | |
| occurs in 23 verses in the NKJV, nine of which are found in one | |
| book alone, namely Leviticus as below, | |
| Lev 9:1 It came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called | |
| Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. | |
| Lev 12:3 And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall | |
| be circumcised. | |
| Lev 14:10 "And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs | |
| without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, | |
| three-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a | |
| grain offering, and one log of oil. | |
| Lev 14:23 He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day | |
| for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, | |
| before the LORD. | |
| Lev 15:14 On the eighth day he shall take for himself two | |
| turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD, to | |
| the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the | |
| priest. | |
| Lev 15:29 And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two | |
| turtledoves or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, | |
| to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. | |
| Lev 22:27 "When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be | |
| seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and | |
| thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to | |
| the LORD. | |
| Lev 23:36 [For] seven days you shall offer an offering made by | |
| fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy | |
| convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the | |
| LORD. It [is] a sacred assembly, [and] you shall do no customary | |
| work [on it]. | |
| Lev 23:39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when | |
| you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the | |
| feast of the LORD [for] seven days; on the first day [there | |
| shall be] a sabbath-[rest], and on the eighth day a | |
| sabbath-[rest]. | |
| The number of persons saved from the flood was eight as Peter | |
| said twice, | |
| 1Pe 3:20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine | |
| longsuffering waited* in the days of Noah, while [the] ark was | |
| being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved | |
| through water. | |
| 2Pe 2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, | |
| [one of] eight [people], a preacher of righteousness, bringing | |
| in the flood on the world of the ungodly; | |
| In the verse below, why are told that it was the seventeenth day | |
| ? Add 1 to 7 and what do you get? Also what is the number of | |
| the Chapter in which we are told this? | |
| Gen 8:4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the | |
| seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. | |
| Seven also means, �Divine perfection, completion. | |
| And what about, "The New Covenant", | |
| Jer 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I | |
| will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the | |
| house of Judah-- | |
| What do you get when you add 3+1+3+1 ? | |
| And when it is repeated in the NT, it is found at, | |
| Hbr 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the | |
| days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant | |
| with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-- | |
| And finally, how many NT verses mention, "eight days", in | |
| connection to Jesus? | |
| There are only three, that is a Trinity of verses referring to | |
| Jesus, | |
| Luk 2:21 And when eight days were completed for the circumcision | |
| of the Child,* His name was called JESUS, the name given by the | |
| angel before He was conceived in the womb. | |
| Luk 9:28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these | |
| sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the | |
| mountain to pray. | |
| Jhn 20:26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, | |
| and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and | |
| stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" | |
| Well that's enough for now, but before I go let me ask you a | |
| question. | |
| How many books of the Bible have the same number of Chapters as | |
| the Bible has books, and why am I asking this question.? | |
| Every blessing. | |

| Riana, you say, | |
| Patrick IS a number freak! | |
| That being the case, he might like this. | |
| In Matthews account of the Genealogy of Jesus, there are 42 | |
| generations, which is 6 times 7. Now 6 is the Biblical number | |
| for humanity, and 7 = Divine perfection completion, in other | |
| words we have our attention drawn to the Divine perfection of | |
| Jesus, and His humanity. | |
| Now why do you think that Matthew having just given us the | |
| Genealogy of Jesus from Abraham, should then give us, | |
| Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were | |
| fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to | |
| Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to | |
| Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. | |
| Notice 3 lots of 14. 3 draws out attention to the Trinity, and | |
| 14 is twice 7. Now 2 speaks of Jesus being the second person of | |
| the Trinity, and 7, is once again, Divine perfection completion. | |
| 14 is also the numerical equivalent of the three Hebrew letters | |
| that form the name David, and of course Jesus was indeed the Son | |
| of David, | |
| Mat 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be | |
| the Son of David?" | |
| Luke however, has 77 Generations, Which is 7 times 11. 7 = | |
| Divine perfection completion. Two sevens, and two ones both draw | |
| our attention to the second person of the Trinity. | |
| Those interested in Biblical numerology will Know that the | |
| number 8 refers to "Fresh start, new beginning" | |
| In other words a New Covenant, and where do we find that ? | |
| Jer 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when | |
| I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the | |
| house of Judah, | |
| Now, what total do we get if we add, 3+1+3+1 ? | |
| And when this verse is repeated in the New Testament, we find it | |
| at, | |
| Hbr 8:8 For he finds fault with them when he says: "Behold, the | |
| days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new | |
| covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, | |
| Wow, how about that then ? | |
| Every blessing. | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| And yet another. | |
| The Bible as we have it today is exactly, and precisely how God | |
| intended it to be in the first place, that is, no missing books, | |
| and no additional books, Now if you ask me to provide chapter, | |
| and verse for this then I can't, but for those who are prepared | |
| to accept subliminal messages, then I think I can. | |
| Firstly the OT we have is the same as the Jews had 2000 years | |
| ago, however, there are two differences, firstly they had 36 | |
| books, we have 39, but this is only due to the fact that Samuel, | |
| Kings,and Chronicles are for them just 3 books. We have divided | |
| each into 2 parts making 6 books. Secondly their last book is | |
| the one we call 2nd Chronicles, and not Malachi. This book is | |
| included but is inside, not at the end. | |
| Now have a look at Matthew Ch 23 v 35, and compare with 2nd | |
| Chron Ch 24 vs 20-22. This can be seen as Divine approval of all | |
| the 36 books the Jews considered as Holy Scripture, As Abel is | |
| killed in Ch 4 v 8 of the first book, whilst Zechariah was | |
| killed towards the later part of what was then the last book. | |
| This Divine approval can also be seen in Luke Ch 24 v 27 & v 44. | |
| The Jews considered there to be 3 levels of inspiration, Moses | |
| (The first 5 books) to be the most inspired, the Prophets, | |
| slightly less inspired, and the Psalms (Sometimes called the | |
| writings) least inspired of all. Jesus it would seem is saying | |
| that all Scripture is inspired to the same extent. | |
| Now the Bible as a whole has 66 books. I wonder if I can find a | |
| book of the Bible which has 66 Chapters. Yes I can and there is | |
| only one Isaiah. I wonder what I will find if I examine Chapters | |
| 39 & 40 the chapters that should correspond with the last book | |
| of the OT, and the first book of the NT. | |
| So now read the last Chapter of 2nd Chron vs 17-21, and compare | |
| with Isaiah Ch 39 vs 5-7, and see if you think that there is a | |
| strong similarity. How about Prophecy and Fulfilment. In other | |
| words Ch 39 of Isaiah indicates the end of the OT.. Now how does | |
| Ch 40 start, v 1 Comfort, comfort my people says your God. To | |
| whom do you think God is speaking? Can't be the Jews, must be us | |
| the Gentiles. | |
| Now have a look at Matthew Ch 3 v 1, and see who we are | |
| introduced to then cf with Isa Ch 40 v 3. Coincidence?, I | |
| wonder. What about John Ch 10 vs 10-11. The Good Shepherd, now | |
| look at Isa Ch 40 vs 10-11. Not another coincidence surely. and | |
| finally Ch 63 yet future the second coming part 2. Need I say | |
| any more. | |
| God bless you all Edwin. | |

| man's motives in canonizing the Bible may not always have been | |
| pure, God, nonetheless has had His hand over the outcome and is | |
| ever in control. I believe that, through the Holy Spirit, God | |
| can speak to us through many varied sources, but best of all | |
| through Scripture.[/font] | |

| keep em coming | |
| the generation line that leads to 77 however is in luke though | |
| matthew---------------------------------luke | |
| david ----------------------------------- david | |
| through solomon----------------------- through nathan | |
| leads to jospeph------------------------ leads to mary | |
| and jesus @64 ------------------------- and jesus @77 | |
| so if we take david as #36 in these lines | |
| abraham as 22 +14 = david @36 | |
| i know much explanation is need to secure these positions of | |
| abraham 22 ((who are the 24 elders) | |
| and then david as #36 ( the lost generationof Jesus ;the TAMAR | |
| story | |
| but if we push through that point for a minute we get | |
| that generation #37 | |
| now numerically we say god is {1} and zeros don't count | |
| so 100 is saying the same thing here ( its a math usesage ; like | |
| a slide rule ) | |
| back to matthew and the line to JESUS by way of joseph | |
| this represents the old testament | |
| whereas luke and the line to Jesus by way of mary | |
| represents the new testament | |
| the above information then gives us two equations that look like | |
| this | |
| Gods old testament plan ------ = JESUS and with david | |
| 100 ----------------------------- = 64 &(+) 36 | |
| Gods new testament plan ------ = JESUS and with ------"x" | |
| 100 ------------------------------ = 77 &(+) | |
| "who" -----23 | |
| if we are to seek out the who --------"x" | |
| mathematicaly they need to be seen in terms of "23" | |
| expounded numbers | |
| simple gematria ; seen in the equation | |
| n + n squared | |
| ------------------ = the number of 1 + 2 + 3 .... up to n | |
| 2 | |
| thus; if n= 4 | |
| then the exponded number of 4 = 10 | |
| as seen by | |
| 4 + (4x4) | |
| ----------- = ten | |
| 2 | |
| the number 23 expounded is 276 | |
| who has a 276 in their story | |
| have you picked your canidate yet? | |
| we know the story of noah and those eight souls onboard ; but | |
| maybe what we should see was 4 married couples | |
| and now that (3) JESUS has (9) manifacation or APPEARENCE | |
| MAYBE WE TOO NEED TO GET ON THE BOAT | |
| ACTS 27:6 Paul gets on a boat | |
| ACTS 27:37 276 SOULS ARE SAVED | |
| SO THOSE EQUATIONS NOW READ ( mathematically) | |
| Gods plan = OT ; JESUS & DAVID = NT; JESUS AND PAUL | |
| 100------- = 64 + 36 = 77 + | |
| 23 | |
| LOL; JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A NUMBER FREAK who seeks to see the | |
| bible story | |
| so keep em coming | |
