| Number Substitution If numbers replace the Hebrew and Greek letters, interesting patterns start to appear that are not duplicated in any other Hebrew or Greek writings. Here are some examples (from the Greek except where noted): Jesus 888 8 x 111 (8 the number of resurrection) Christ 1480 8 x 185 Savior 1408 8 x 176 Lord 800 8 x 100 Messiah (Heb) 656 8 x 82 Son of Man 2960 8 x 370 Way 344 8 x 43 Truth 64 8 x 8 Life See below * True Light (Jn. 1:6) 1728 8 x 216 (or 8 x 8 x 3 x 3 x 3 or 12 x 12 x 12) NB: The Word (Logos) adds up to 373 and so is not a multiple of 8. This helps demonstrate that the Word in John 1:1 is the purpose or plan of God and not Jesus (who was part of that plan.) In fact 373 is a prime number, relating back to the unity of God. Applying the same technique to the Hebrew words in the first verse of the Bible reveals these interesting facts from Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God" = 999 (absolutely the last word) "God, Heaven and Earth" (the three nouns of Gen.1:1) = 777 (absolutely complete) __________________________ * The Hebrew word for life and the symbol for life = 8 |
