Hidden code in Genesis 1:1
Hidden code in Genesis 1:1
There are no numerals in the original text of the Bible.
Not in the Hebrew of the Old Testament, and not in the Greek of the New Testament.
And there is a good reason for this. Numerals (figures for numbers, such as 1,
C2, 3, 4 etc) only came into being about 400 years after Jesus was on earth. Numerals were developed by mathematicians in India.
They came long after the canon of the Old and New Testament Scriptures were finalised.
Wherever you find a number mentioned in the original text of the Bible, it is spelled out.
Take an example ... in 2 Chronicles 26 it says, “Judah had an army of 307,500 ...” Your Bible almost certainly has this number in figures (numerals).
That is easy for us to follow. But the original Hebrew text says, “Shalosh meot elef ve’shivaat alefim ve’chamesh meot”. Translation ... “three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred”.
In Bible days, people counted with the “tally system”.
One, two, three, four scratches (that is as many as the eye can take in and separate easily) ... then cross them out.That indicates a total of five. A second group of five, and you have a “set” of ten. And they would use an abacus.
Many ancient cultures ... the Persians, Egyptians, Romans, Greeks and, of course, the Chinese, made rapid calculations using an abacus, or counting frame with beads. A set of ten, in Hebrew, they say “eser”. In Greek, “deka”. But it is useful to have a symbol.
So the Hebrew ancients and the Greeks used their alphabets, and the letters of the alphabet were each allocated a numeric value.
The Romans used letters out of the Latin alphabet to indicate numbers, but only seven of those letters were used ... In Hebrew and Greek every letter of the alphabet has a numeric value. So, looking at the Hebrew alphabet: ALEF, the first letter, has a numeric value of 1, and has had as far back as anyone knows. BET 2 ... GIMEL 3 ... DALET 4 .. HEH 5 ... VAV 6 ... ZAYIN 7 ... CHET 8 ... TET 9 .. YUD 10 ... KAF 20 ... LAMED 30 ... MEM 40 ... NUN 50
.. SAMECH 60 ... AYIN 70 ... PEH 80 ... TSADI 90 ...KUF 100 ... RESH 200 ... SHIN 300 ... TAV 400 Of course, the letters KAF, MEM, NUN, PEH, and TSADI have a different shape ... a final form ... when the letter appears at the end of a word. But that doesn't affect its numeric value.
What about Aramaic? There is a little Aramaic in the Old Testament ... in the book of Daniel, and in the book of Ezra. About 10 chapters in total.
It is phonetic Aramaic. Hebrew letters are used, and each of those letters has a numeric value. With that in mind, and believing we can see God’s hand of design in the Scriptures,
let us look at the first verse of the Bible. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” In Hebrew ... “Bereshit bara Elohim et ha’shamayim ve’et ha’aretz”.
In Session 3 of this video seminar series on “Design in the Torah”, we looked at prime numbers. The first four prime numbers – single-digit prime numbers – are 2, 3, 5 and 7. A prime number is a number that is divisible
by 1 and by itself only. Now, in Genesis 1:1,
the middle word has two letters. That is the first prime number and it is a unique prime number, because it is the only prime number that is an even number. There are three words on each side of this middle word. Three is the second prime number. There are seven words in total. That is a prime number.
There are five letters in the third word, to the right of the middle word. and five letters in the fifth word, to the left of the middle word.
Five is a prime number. Add the two letters of the middle word to the five letters of the word on the right and we get seven.
Add the two letters of the middle word to the five letters of the word on the left and we get seven. Seven is a prime number.
There are three letters in the second word, and three letters in the sixth word.
Three is a prime number. Now let us work out the numeric value of each word. bereshit: BET (2), RESH (200), ALEF (1),
SHIN (300), YUD (10), TAV (400). Total ... 913 bara: BET (2), RESH (200), ALEF (1).
Total ... 203 Elohim: ALEF (1), LAMED (30),
HEH (5), YUD (10), MEM (40). Total ... 86 et: ALEF (1), TAV (400). Total ... 401
ha’shamayim: HEH (5), SHIN (300), MEM (40), YUD (10), MEM (40). Total ... 395
ve’et: VAV (6), ALEF (1), TAV (400). Total ... 407 ha’aretz: HEH (5), ALEF (1), RESH (200), TZADI (90). Total ... 296
The total value of all the letters in all these words is 2,701.
And that breaks down to 37 times 73. 37 is a prime number, and 73 is a prime number. Do you see how the numbers reflect each other? That seems to be by design, doesn't it? Note how it matches in with the middle five of the seven words. Three, and three letters. Seven, and seven letters. Seven, and seven letters. Three, and three letters.
That's clever. 37 is the twelfth prime number, and 73 is the twenty-first prime number. Note how these two numbers reflect each other ... 12 ... 21. Let us make a number by combining the figures of 37 and 73 ... 3773. That breaks down to 7 x 7 x 77.
I don't think that any of this is by accident. Now, let us work out the value of word one and word three ... Bereshit and Elohim.
913 + 86 = 999. That's an interesting number. Break it into its prime numbers and it comes to 37 x 3 x 3 x 3. 37 is prominent again.
Words two, four and five ... bara, et, and ha'shamayim. 203 + 401 + 395 ... adds up to 999 again. Divisible by 37. What about the three leading words in the sentence? The words for God, the heavens, and the earth ...Elohim, ha’shamayim and ha’aretz ... the third, the fifth and the seventh words ... Add the value of these three words. It comes to 777. (37 x 7 x 3)
3 7 ... 7 3 And words three, five and six ...Elohim, ha'shamayim and ve'et ... 86 + 395 + 407 = 888 (which is divisible by 37).
One set of words adds up to 777 Another set adds up to 888 And two different sets add up to 999 What genius created a meaningful, significant sentence, a theological truth like this and designed it with such amazing numeric features?
Now, to end this session, let me show you two more things and we are done.
The Hebrew word for “forever” is “ad olam”. The numeric value of “ad” is 74 (which is 37 x 2). And the numeric value of “olam” is 146 (which is 2 x 73). Interesting to see the reflective
image again. (37 x 2 ... 2 x 73) God wants us to think about "forever" And, lastly, in Session 4 of this series, “The letters of the Hebrew alphabet”, I made the point that there are 22 letters in the alphabet, with 5 final forms.
The first letter of the alphabet is ALEF. The middle letter of the alphabet is MEM. And the last letter is TAV. And that spells “emet”, and the numeric value of “emet” is 441, which breaks down to 3 x 7 x 7 x 3.
3 7 ... 7 3 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life ...” "Truth" in Hebrew is “emet” It all points to Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; and no one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6).
