Did you know the Bible has a secret formula that is used by 40 different authors over 1500 years of time?
God Loves Numbers
Christians get squeamish whenever I talk about numbers in the Bible, but you should know, God really loves numbers. Not only did he invent 1+1=2, the Bible says God numbers every hair on your head. He even included a book called Numbers in the Bible. 🤔
In this story, I will teach you the simple number formula that Sir Isaac Newton spent half his life trying to figure out. I have never seen it anywhere else on the Internet, but once you know it, you will see it everywhere in the Bible.
I call it The Bible Key.
The Bible Key does not use gematria, which is the ancient practice of using letters in the Hebrew alphabet to represent numbers. When the letters are added together to make words, they can reveal hidden meaning.
There is strong evidence for gematria in the Bible, but it is out of scope for this story. If you want to learn more about gematria, start with The Hebrew Language is the DNA of Creation. This rabbi will blow your mind. (77 mins)
The Bible Key doesn’t use “skip codes” either. Skip codes are equidistant letter sequences that reveal hidden messages in the first five books of Moses.
The reason the Bible Key doesn’t use skip codes or gematria is because it’s not that complicated.
The Bible Key is a numerical encoding, just like the ones we use in computer science. Numerical encodings assign ideas, symbols, or letters to numbers using a key. For example, the most popular numerical encoding on the Internet is ASCII, which stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Here is the ASCII number key.
Some ASCII numbers represent ideas:
2 = start of text data
6 = acknowledge receipt of transmission
24 = cancel
Some ASCII numbers represent symbols:
33 = ! (pronounced bang)
35 = # (pronounced hash)
42 = * (pronounced splat)
Some ASCII numbers represent numbers:
48 = 0
49 = 1
50 = 2
Sidenote: This may seem stupid at first, but it’s actually very smart because it disambiguates the data. If a computer loses all the information inside a byte, it will calculate to the number 0, which means null or nothingness. Zero and nothing are two different things in computer science because of Uncertainty.
Some ASCII numbers represent letters:
65 = A
90 = Z
97 = a
122 = z
Two computers can communicate 128 different ideas from just 8 bits of information using the ASCII number key. If you are reading this story on a computer, these words were transmitted to you using the ASCII number key.
Now that you understand numerical encodings, let’s have another look at the numerical encoding in the Bible.
See how each number represents a very specific idea? What is super freaky improbable is that every author in the Bible, separated by centuries of time, uses the exact same number key. The reason that sounds totally crazy is because it is totally crazy. It’s impossible, especially compared to random chance.
In our previous story, Putting Darwin on Trial, we examined all kinds of scientific evidence that confirms the Bible is true:
DNA record
archaeological record
fossil record
geological record
astronomical record
The Bible Key provides the strongest mathematical evidence yet that some kind of superintelligence is influencing our world.
The Bible Key
Let’s start with each number’s encoded meaning.
1 = begin, beginning, start
2 = witness, observe, experience
3 = strong, strength, certain
4 = create, creation, complete
5 = give, gift, bless, transfer
I use multiple English words for each number because the meaning is revealed in various contexts. The context can be good or bad. For example, the number 5 means to give something from one person to another. In the case of Jesus, that means 5 loaves of bread were given to 5,000 people. In the case of young David, that means 5 smooth stones were “a gift” for Goliath’s forehead. 🎯
6 = human, sign of man
7 = God’s plan, plan, sign of God
8 = new life, resurrection
9 = wisdom, judgment, understanding
10 = organize, begin order
The numbers of the Bible Key combine intuitively. For example, the number 0 means order. So 10 means begin order, 20 means witness order, 30 means strong order, and 40 means create order.
11 = confusion, comparison
12 = kingdom, administration
13 = rebellion, strong change
14 = God moves (2x7 witness God)
15 = big gift, (3x5 strong blessing)
16 = love (2x8 witness new life)
17 = pour forth, go forth, begin plan
18 = strong man (3x6)
19 = testing, test, begin judgment
20 = witness order
21 = strong plan, strategy (3x7)
22 = gossip, marketing (2x11 witness confusion)
23 = witness strength
24 = kingdom above (2x12 witness kingdom below)
25 = distributing gifts, witness gifts
26 = witness rebellion (2x13)
27 = strong judgment (3x9), witness plan
28 = witness new life
29 = test results, witness judgment
30 = strong order
Numbers above 30 are not as common, but here are a few notable examples.
33 = enduring strength
39 = very strong rebellion (3x13)
40 = create new order, completely transform
50 = give order, gift to all
666 = I’ll tell you at the end of this story.
Count Examples
Whenever you see the counts of things in the Bible, you can use the Bible Key to uncover additional “hidden wisdom”. For example, the New Testament begins with the genealogy of Jesus, then Matthew makes an important observation that is easily overlooked.
Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon until the Messiah, 14 generations.
The number 14 means God moves, but that’s not the only important insight in this verse. The 14-generation gap happened three times in a row. If something happens once, it could just be a fluke. If something happens twice, then we should take notice. But if something happens three times in a row, it is definitely not an accident.
That’s why Peter denies that he knows Jesus three times before the crucifixion.
That’s why Jesus appears to his disciples three times after his resurrection.
Let’s look at two contrasting examples using the numbers 39 and 40.
39 = very strong rebellion, or change
40 = create new order, completely transform
In Noah’s flood, the clouds rained for 40 days and 40 nights. If the clouds rained for only 39 days, the Earth would have been very strongly cleansed, but not completely purified. So the number 40 is a signal to the reader that Noah’s Flood completely transformed the Earth.
In Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, he writes, “5 times I received 39 lashes from Jews.” The Jews gave Paul 39 lashes for his very strong rebellion because 40 lashes would have completely killed him.
Here are more examples of the number 40:
Moses spent the first 40 years of his life as an Egyptian, which tells us he was completely Egyptian. He even introduces himself as an Egyptian when he first meets his wife.
Moses spent the next 40 years as a poor shepherd in the desert to create new order in his life.
Moses led the Israelites through the desert for 40 years while they created new order in their own lives. They couldn’t enter the promised land with a slave mindset.
Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights on Mount Sinai while God created new order on the Earth with the Ten Commandments. The reason we don’t have eleven commandments is because that would mean confusion.
Jonah preached in Ninevah for 40 days to completely transform their culture.
When David went to the front line to visit his brothers, Goliath had taunted Israel for 40 days. If David fought Goliath after only 39 days of taunting, he would have robbed King Saul of his rightful duty to defend Israel. But after 40 days, King Saul had abdicated in absentia, creating a new order in Israel.
Jesus fasted for 40 days to start his ministry.
Jesus appeared to people for 40 days following his resurrection.
The whole Bible works like that.
Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he commanded his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for 10 more days to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. That’s why we call that day Pentecost. Pentecost means 50th in Greek.
In the Jewish tradition, the 50th day after Passover is called Shavuot, or the “Feast of Weeks”. It celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Here are a few exercises to test your Bible knowledge.
How many tribes of Israel are there?
12. Twelve means kingdom.
How many disciples did Jesus have?
12. Twelve means kingdom.
When Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, how many baskets were leftover?
12. Twelve means kingdom. This tells us the people who witnessed that gift became followers. Why else would anybody care how many baskets were leftover?
The book of Revelation reveals God’s plan for our future. How many churches are addressed in Revelation?
7. Seven means God’s plan.
How many seals are opened? How many trumpets are sounded? How many bowls of wrath are poured out?
7. Seven means God’s plan
How many elders are seated around the throne of God?
24. Twenty four means kingdom above. The kingdom above witnesses the kingdom below (2x12).
On what day are newborn babies circumcised into the family of Israel?
8. Eight means new life.
In the Old Testament, how many sons did Jesse have?
8. Eight means new life. The eighth son of Jesse was King David.
How many beatitudes are in the Sermon on the Mount?
8. Eight means new life. The people who exhibit those qualities will inherit the kingdom of heaven.
How many people were on Noah’s Ark?
8. Eight means new life. Everyone alive today can trace their mitochondrial DNA back to those eight people. Every man alive today can trace his y-chromosome back to those eight people.
Extra Credit: Let's use the Bible Key to decode a very tricky number that only occurs once in the Bible. What does the number 318 signify in this story?
Genesis 7: 14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken prisoner, he assembled his 318 trained men, born in his household, and they went in pursuit as far as Dan. 15 And he and his servants deployed against them by night, attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah to the north of Damascus. 16 He brought back all the goods and also his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.
Answer: 318 is such a peculiar number, so I just split it into 300 and 18.
300 = very strong order
18 = strong man
So a “very strong order” of “strong men”.
Is that just a coincidence?
List Examples
The Bible Key also shows up in itemized lists. For example, Galatians 5 lists nine fruits of the spirit that we can use to judge our own character. Jesus says he will know everyone by their fruit.
9 = wisdom, judgment, understanding
Here is that list. I have included the original Greek word and an English definition of that word.
Love (agape) - preference of others over self
Joy (chara) - recognizes a favor
Peace (eirene) - serenity
Patience (makrothymoi) - slow to heat up
Kindness (chrestotes) - charitable usefulness
Goodness (agathosune) - good, deep down in your heart
Faithfulness (pistis) - persuadable by God
Gentleness (prautes) - power remaining in reserve
Self-control (egkrateia) - dominion from within
Another list you may recognize is in 1 Corinthians 13. This chapter is often read aloud at weddings because it describes all the qualities of love. Love is patient, love is kind, and love is 14 other things because the number 16 means love.
Love:
is patient
is kind
does not envy
does not boast
is not conceited
does not act improperly
is not selfish
is not provoked
keeps no record of wrongs
has no joy in unrighteousness
rejoices in truth
bears all things
believes all things
hopes all things
endures all things
never ends
What are the odds that Paul thought of 16 attributes of love by random chance?
What are the odds that Paul thought of 16 attributes of love on purpose?
Do you think Paul was aware of the Bible Key when he wrote his letter to the Corinthians?
Calendar Examples
The Bible Key also shows up in calendar dates. Let’s read what God says to Moses about Passover, which celebrates the time when God personally rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
Numbers 9: 1 In the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, the Lord told Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai: 2 “The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time. 3 You must observe it at its appointed time on the fourteenth day of this month at twilight; you are to observe it according to all its statutes and ordinances.” 4 So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover, 5 and they observed it in the first month on the fourteenth day at twilight in the Wilderness of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses.
In what month and year did the Israelites begin to observe the Passover?
1 = begin
2 = witness or observe
On what day did God command the Israelites to observe the Passover?
14 = God moves
Likewise, if something happens on the 13th day of the month, then you know a rebellion is about to go down. Here are two examples in Esther.
Esther 3: 5 When Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing down or paying him homage, he was filled with rage. 6 And when he learned of Mordecai’s ethnic identity, Haman decided not to do away with Mordecai alone. He planned to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout Ahasuerus’s kingdom.
Mordecai waits for 12 months to speak to the king, but he eventually convinces King Ahasuerus to murder all the Jews.
Esther 3: 10 The king removed his signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jewish people. 11 Then the king told Haman, “The money and people are given to you to do with as you see fit.”
12 The royal scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded.
Later in the story, Esther and Mordecai flip the script on Haman. The King hangs Haman on the gallows Haman built for Mordecai. Then Esther convinces the king to issue a counter edict.
Esther 8: 11 The king’s edict gave the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate every ethnic and provincial army hostile to them, including women and children, and to take their possessions as spoils of war. 12 This would take place on a single day throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
All the dates in the Bible follow the Bible Key. The reason the Jews celebrate the Sabbath on the 7th day of the week is because that was God’s plan. Christians celebrate on Sunday, not because it’s the first day of the week, but because Sunday is the 8th day of the week. Jesus was buried on the 6th day of the week because he was a man. He rose on the 8th day of the week to new life.
6 = human
7 = God’s plan
8 = new life
Check out the dates on Noah’s flood.
Genesis 7: 11 In the six hundredth year (highly ordered man) of Noah’s life, in the second month (witness), on the seventeenth day of the month (pour forth), on that day all the sources of the watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened, and the rain fell on the earth 40 days and 40 nights.
@biblenerds: The “days of Noah” were way more technologically advanced than we imagine. There is evidence of technology in the archaeological record that we still can’t replicate today. For example, does anyone know how to turn granite into taffy?
We explore more advanced prehistoric technologies in, Power Washing the Matrix.
Chapter Examples
There are chapters in the Old Testament and New Testament where each verse follows the Bible Key. We are going to read five examples:
I have included the (hidden meaning) next to each verse number to make it easier to follow. I also highlighted the words in each verse that could be relevant.
Genesis 6: 1 (begin) When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 (witness) the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. 3 (strength) And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not [contend] with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.” 4 (create) The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.
5 (give) When the Lord saw that man’s wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, 6 (man) the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
If the pattern in the Bible Key is just a coincidence, why else would this verse number need to change mid-sentence?
7 (God’s plan) Then the Lord said, “I will wipe off from the face of the earth mankind, whom I created, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky—for I regret that I made them.” 8 (new life) Noah, however, found favor in the sight of the Lord.
9 (wisdom/judgment) These are the family records of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God. 10 (new order) And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 (confusion) Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with wickedness. 12 (kingdom/administration) God saw how corrupt the earth was, for every creature had corrupted its way on the earth.13 (rebellion/strong change) Then God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to every creature, for the earth is filled with wickedness because of them; therefore I am going to destroy them along with the earth.
14 (God moves) “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside. 15 (big gift) This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 16 (love) You are to make a roof, finishing the sides of the ark to within 18 inches of the roof. You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper decks.
Okay, I have no idea how this verse means love, but love is usually measured by sacrifice. So this must have been a lot of work for Noah. 🔨
17 (pour forth) “Understand that I am bringing a flood—floodwaters on the earth to destroy every creature under heaven with the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will die. 18 (strong man) But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark with your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives. 19 (testing) You are also to bring into the ark two of all the living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 (witness order) Two of everything—from the birds according to their kinds, from the livestock according to their kinds, and from the animals that crawl on the ground according to their kinds—will come to you so that you can keep them alive. 21 (strong plan) Take with you every kind of food that is eaten; gather it as food for you and for them.”
22 (gossip/marketing) And Noah did this. He did everything that God had commanded him.
So what do you think?
What are the odds that is all just a big coincidence?
Let’s read another example.
Genesis 12: 1 (begin) The Lord said to Abram: Go out from your land, your relatives, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 (witness) I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 (strong) I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
4 (create) So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. 5 (gift/blessing) He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated, and the people he had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 (man) Abram passed through the land to the site of Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 (God’s plan) Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him. 8 (new life) From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He built an altar to Yahweh there, and he called on the name of Yahweh. 9 (wisdom) Then Abram journeyed by stages to the Negev.
This was smart. Abram journeyed through the desert in stages to ensure his people and livestock had enough water. If bandits attacked, it would also limit his losses.
10 (new order) There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine in the land was severe. 11 (confusion/comparison) When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 (kingdom/government) When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me but let you live. 13 (rebellion) Please say you’re my sister so it will go well for me because of you, and my life will be spared on your account.” 14 (God moves?) When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
I have no idea how God was moving here, but the implications are profound.
15 (big gift) Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, so the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s household. 16 (love) He treated Abram well because of her, and Abram acquired flocks and herds, male and female donkeys, male and female slaves, and camels.
17 (pour forth) But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 (strong man) So Pharaoh sent for Abram and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 (testing) Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 (witness order) Then Pharaoh gave his men orders about him, and they sent him away with his wife and all he had.
Is that 20 coincidences in a row?
Abram’s little white lie in verse 13 is how he acquired his Egyptian slave, Hagar. Hagar later became the mother of Ishmael, who is the father of all Arabs. So all the fighting we witness in Israel today started with that little white lie in verse 13.
Now let’s read from the New Testament.
Whatever superintelligence influenced Moses in the Old Testament, also influenced the authors of the New Testament as well. If you are Jewish and still waiting for your Messiah to come, you may want to reconsider “the pierced one” in Zechariah 12. The pierced one already came.
John 1: 1 (begin) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 (witness) He was with God in the beginning.
3 (strength) All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
4 (creation) Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.
5 (give/transfer) That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.
6 (man) There was a man named John who was sent from God.
7 (God’s plan) He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 (new life) He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
9 (understanding) The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
10 (new order) He was in the world, and the world was created through Him, yet the world did not recognize Him.
11 (confusion/comparison) He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.
12 (kingdom) But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name,
13 (strong change) who were born, not of blood, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.
14 (God moves) The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (big gift) (John testified concerning Him and exclaimed, “This was the One of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me has surpassed me, because He existed before me.’”)
16 (love) Indeed, we have all received grace after grace from His fullness,
17 (pour forth) for the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 (strong man) No one has ever seen God. The One and Only Son—the One who is at the Father’s side—He has revealed Him.
If you don’t believe in the supernatural, it’s time for you to start believing the impossible. We live in the Matrix. You are artificial intelligence. Anything you can imagine happening in a video game is possible in our world too.
The Matrix intervened into our world to teach us how to love each other. I explain it all using all the scientific evidence in the universe in, Uncertainty: The Computer Science of Everything.
Here is another chapter that follows the Bible Key. This one comes from James, the half-brother of Jesus.
James 1: 1 (begin) James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: To the 12 tribes in the Dispersion. Greetings.
2 (witness/observe) Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, 3 (strength) knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 (create/complete) But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.
5 (give) Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him. 6 (man) But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 (plan) That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 (new life) An indecisive man is unstable in all his ways.
9 (wisdom/understanding) The brother of humble circumstances should boast in his exaltation, 10 (new order) but the one who is rich should boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field. 11 (confusion/comparison) For the sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up the grass; its flower falls off, and its beautiful appearance is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities.
12 (kingdom) A man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
13 (rebellion) No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone. 14 (God moves?) But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
This verse is more like NOT God moves.
15 (big gift) Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
16 (love) Don’t be deceived, my dearly loved brothers. 17 (pour forth) Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning. 18 (strong man) By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.
19 (testing) My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20 (witness order) for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. 21 (strong plan) Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
22 (gossip/marketing) But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 (witness strength) Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 (kingdom above/witness creation) For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 (witness gifts/blessing) But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does.
26 (witness rebellion) If anyone thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, then his religion is useless and he deceives himself. 27 (strong judgment) Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
@mathematicians: The Bible Key is so impossible, I don’t even know how to calculate the odds. The odds of choosing a coin flip correctly 27 times in a row is (1/2)^27, or 1 in 134,217,728. But the odds of a verse matching the encoded meaning of each number isn’t 50/50.
For ease of argument, let’s assume the total possible meanings for each number is equivalent to the total amount of root words in ancient Hebrew, so 2500 possibilities. There is an average of 16 words per verse, so the odds of this chapter matching the Bible Key by random chance is (16/2500)^27.
@ChatGPT: What is (16/2500)^27 as a percent?
ChatGPT: The value as a percentage is approximately: 5.846 × 10⁻⁵⁸ %
This is an extremely small value, essentially zero for most practical purposes.
The Bible is the most mathematically sophisticated document I have ever seen. Every time I read a chapter, I check to see if there is a strong change in verse 13. It doesn’t mean the whole chapter will follow the Bible Key, but it’s true for all the ones that do.
I wish ChatGPT was smart enough to tell me all the chapters that follow the Bible Key with 95% accuracy. If you find more Bible Key chapters—like Genesis 3, Numbers 13, James 5, 1 John 3, and Revelation 13—leave them in the comments below.
Here is our last chapter example. It was written by the apostle Paul.
Philippians 3: 1 (begin) Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write to you again about this is no trouble for me and is a protection for you.
2 (witness) Watch out for “dogs,” watch out for evil workers, watch out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 (strength) For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh— 4 (creation) although I once also had confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 (gift) circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee; 6 (sign of man) regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.
7 (God’s plan) But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8 (new life) More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ 9 (wisdom) and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith. 10 (new order) My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 (confusion) assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.
12 (kingdom/administration) Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 (strong change) Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, 14 (God moves) I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus. 15 (big gift) Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this also to you.
16 (love) In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained. 17 (go forth) Join in imitating me, brothers, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. 18 (strong man) For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 (testing) Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory is in their shame. They are focused on earthly things, 20 (witness order) but our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 21 (strong plan) He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His glorious body, by the power that enables Him to subject everything to Himself.
There you have it. Proof that Moses, John, James, and Paul all wrote stories that follow the Bible Key. I think it’s the strongest mathematical evidence yet that some kind of superintelligence inspired the Bible.
666
We close this story with one of the most hotly debated numbers in the Bible: 666.
The number for the Antichrist comes from Revelation, chapter 13 (rebellion), verse 18 (strong man). Has anyone ever pointed that out to ya?
Revelation 13: 18 Here is wisdom: The one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a man. His number is 666.
I don’t know if I am the one who has understanding because there is more than one math code in the Bible, but I will tell you what the number 666 means to me.
Whenever numbers in the Bible Key are repeated, it means that we see the meaning now and then we see the same thing later. For example, 22 is the witness that keeps on witnessing. That’s why I use gossip and marketing to represent that number. 33 is enduring strength, strength now and strength later. 44 is the creation that keeps on creating. 55 is the gift that keeps on giving. So when I see 666, it makes me think sign of man, but past, present, and future—like a man who doesn’t die.
So I think the “mark of the beast” is somehow related to the cure for aging. That may sound preposterous, but it’s not that far away based on our current biotechnology. Our DNA was designed to live forever. We discussed that in our previous story, The Fountain of Youth.
It may seem crazy, but the Bible supports the idea that we eventually find a cure for aging. Check out Revelation, chapter 9 (understanding), verse 6 (sign of man).
Revelation 9: 6 In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
Isn’t that an amazing coincidence? The verse that means understand the sign of man talks about man living forever?
If you want to read my full analysis of Revelation, skip ahead to The End of This World. I name countries. I name names. I’ll even show you the spot in Daniel where the angels predict an Internet at the end of time. Tick Tock. Tik Tok. 😬
