"The Golden Chapters & Verses"

Dear doves,

The Golden Rectangle and the Golden Cross discovered by Bob Ware prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is the Wonderful Numberer (see link). Mario Livio, the writer of the book, 'The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, The World's Most Astonishing Number', was probably right when he wrote, "In fact, it is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics."

Some call the Golden Ratio the golden proportion or the divine proportion. The latter name appears to be right on target. In this article, I want to show how the Almighty testifies to His divinity using the Golden Ratio in the Golden Chapter -- the famous antichrist chapter -- 2 Thess 2!

The Golden Chapter could well be called the Divine Chapter despite the fact that the antichrist is getting all the undeserved attention in this chapter. It turns out the real focus is God Himself! The chapter order number of 2 Thess 2 is 1118 -- the Hebrew gematria of the SHEMA, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD." (Deut 6:4) -- a prayer that is at the very heart of Judaism, the fervent declaration of the Unity or Oneness of God. (See link.)

While the Golden Ratio does not divide a line at the CENTER, curiously the Golden Chapter occupies the CENTER position in more ways than one. The book of 2 Thessalonians is the MIDDLE book of the New Testament (book 14 of 27 books). 2 Thess 2 is the MIDDLE chapter of the book of 2 Thessalonians (2nd chapter of 3 chapters); it is also the MIDDLE chapter of Cycle 3 of the Bible Wheel (72nd chapter of 143 chapters)! 2 Thess 2 is also at the EXACT MIDDLE between the MIDDLE chapters of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of the Bible Wheel! (See illustration below)


Truly, 2 Thess 2 is the MIDDLE of MIDDLES. God is at the CENTER of all things. Little wonder He chose to reveal Himself in this chapter that is at the CENTER in such intriguing fashion.

Let us now introduce the notion of the Golden Ratio. Two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio between the sum of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller. The golden ratio is approximately 1.6180339887 or its inverse 0.6180339887.

The golden section is a line segment sectioned into two according to the golden ratio. The total length a+b is to the longer segment a as a is to the shorter segment b.


or              b÷a = 0.6180339887


Arrange the 22 books of the third cycle of the Bible Wheel as a straight line. The 22 books are 22 epistles from Romans to Revelation. The Golden Chapter is PRECISELY 2 Thess 2!

To section the row of 22 books such that it becomes a golden section, the two segments must be 13.59674774 + 8.403252264 = 22 books (0.618033988 × 22 = 13.59674774). Take the shorter segment and compute its position from the first book of Cycle 3 of the Bible Wheel, i.e. the book of Romans.

8 books into Cycle 3 we come to the end of the book of 1 Thessalonians. A further distance of 0.403252264 books into the next book, the book of 2 Thessalonians, we land on the SHEMA chapter!

To compute the Golden Verse, multiply 0.403252264 by the three chapters of the book of 2 Thessalonians: 0.403252264 × 3 chapters = 1.209756792 chapters; this is chapter two verse four (0.209756792 × 17 verses = 3.565865464 verses = the 4th verse).

The Golden Verse is 2 Thess 2:4, "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

The word GOD appears a total of four times in this verse! The phrase 'he is God' can be found five times in the Old Testament; it refers exclusively to the Lord God (Deu 4:35, 4:39, 7:9; Jos 2:11; Ps 100:3). In the New Testament, its sole occurrence is found in 2 Thess 2:4, the Golden Verse, where it is applied to the God impostor, who will stage the ultimate rebellion. The antichrist has the  audacity to usurp the position and title of the Creator. God must be laughing in Heaven at such a puny pathetic attempt to claim equality with Him. Perhaps He is demonstrating absolute control by slipping in a piece of perfect math in the Golden Verse to show the evil one just Who the real God is.

In the illustration below, the top bar shows the MIDDLE position occupied by the book of 2 Thessalonians in the New Testament. The bar below it represents the 22 Epistles of Cycle 3 of the Bible Wheel from Romans to Revelation; this bar is sectioned according to the Golden Ratio.



The two chapters that join the two segments of the golden section are 2 Thess 1 (1117th chapter) and 2 Thess 2 (1118th chapter; the SHEMA chapter). Both chapters are Golden Chapters. Bob Ware discovered that stone 1117 in the Genesis 1:1 Pyramid is the intersection of two lines that join Jesus (888) & Christ (1480) and Christ (1480) & Jesus Christ (2368)!




There is no way chance has anything to do with it. Bob's red line joining Jesus (888) and Jesus Christ (2368) points to year 2008. Bob's red line joining Christ (1480) and Jesus Christ (2368) intersects stone 1117 with my blue line joining Jesus (888) and Christ (1480).

The 1117th chapter of the Bible is the 2008th chapter of the New Testament! (2008 = 7 × 260 + 188; the 188th NT chapter is 2 Thess 1)

The heart of the Golden Cross is stone 2008 in Bob's 3-D Genesis 1:1 Pyramid. The Golden Chapter (one of two) of the New Testament is the 2008th chapter!

Jesus points to the year 2008 using the gematria values of His Name and the Golden Ratio in such precise manner as to rule out man-made contrivance. 

But that is not all.

The number 1117 is the 188th prime number, counting 1 as prime. The 188th chapter of the New Testament is the 1117th chapter of the Bible! This chapter is the ONLY NT chapter where the Bible-NT chapter order pair matches a prime number and its order!

And yet there is more.

2 Thess 1 is ordered four different ways chapter wise:

The chapter order total is 1814 (71+188+438+1117). The blue stone numbered 1814 in the Genesis 1:1 Pyramid is the red stone numbered 888!

The Golden Chapter (2 Thess 1), the 2008th NT chapter (1117th chapter of the Bible), is marked by JESUS (888)!

The Golden Chapter is an intriguing rapture chapter. The phrase 'he shall come' was uttered by Jesus four times in the Gospel of Luke. It appears no where else in the New Testament except the Golden Chapter, verse 10, "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."

The usage found in Luke is clearly in the rapture context, especially Luke 12:38, 40, "And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. ... Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."

It is revealing Paul admonished the Thessalonians twice to be accounted worthy in 2 Thess 1: "that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God" (v5) and "Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling" (v11). The latter verse reminds us of Jesus' warning in Luke 21:36, "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."


Lord Jesus Christ & the Golden Ratio

Roughly speaking, the Golden Ratio divides a line into 62% and 38%. Here we find an unmistakable trace of the Master. The Greek gematria of JESUS CHRIST, 2368, is composed of the four digits of the percentage numbers! The more precise Golden Ratio figures are 0.6180339887 and 0.3819660112. Take the first two decimal digits of both figures and combine to form a number, 3168. This is the Greek gematria of LORD JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS must be the One who came up with the idea of the Golden Ratio!

Want more evidence? The first four non-zero digits of the Golden Ratio, 0.6180339887, are the digits of the Greek gematria of LORD JESUS CHRIST, 3168! Better still, their digit order in the Golden Ratio points PRECISELY to the Golden Verse!

The digit order numbers of '3', '1', '6' & '8' are 5, 2, 1 & 3 respectively. The Golden Verse -- 2 Thess 2:4 -- is 52 books into the Bible, 1 chapter into the book of 2 Thessalonians and 3 verses into the Golden Chapter!

Clearly, the Golden Verse is ordered by Jesus in His Book to testify to the Oneness of God. The Hebrew gematria of 'echad' (one) and 'ahavah' (love) are both 13. The SHEMA, 1118, is ELOHIM x ONE/LOVE, or 86 × 13. LORD JESUS CHRIST (3168) shows up once again!

SHEMA = 1118 = 86 × 13             [ 8613 : mirror is 3168 LJC]
LORD JESUS CHRIST = 3168

The gematria value of Lord Jesus Christ, 3168, is intimately connected with the SHEMA. The number formed by its first two digits, 31, is the Hebrew gematria value for EL, God in the singular; its last two digits, 68, when reflected (86), form a number that is the Hebrew gematria value for ELOHIM, God in the plural!

The position occupied by the Golden Verse amplifies the Oneness (13) of God; 52 chapters = 13 + 13 + 13 + 13; one chapter & three verses = 1+3.

Lord Jesus Christ (3168) fully reveals the Triune God in the 1118th chapter (86×13) of the Bible; He ordered the Golden Verse using the Golden Ratio, 0.6180339887. Truly, ".... in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." (Col 2:9)



Hapax Legomenon

A hapax legomenon is a word which occurs only once in the written record of a language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. There is a hapax legomenon found in the Golden Chapter. This by itself is not extraordinary. What is astonishing is that this special word is found in the Golden Verse of the Golden Chapter!

The hapax legomenon of 2 Thess 1 is endeigma, translated as 'manifest token' in the KJV, which means plain evidence or indication. Verse 5 reads, "Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer."

The Golden Verse is computed this way: 12 verses × 0.618033988 = 7.416407856 verses; 12 - 7.416407856 = 4.583592144 = verse 5, that is, the Golden Verse.

An unexpected number shows up in the computation. The first four digits of the number 7.416407856 are 7416. This is the circumference of the circle Bob discovered that contains the Golden Rectangle with length 2008 and width 1241 (Greek gematria of PENTECOST)! This number is also the sum of two gematria values of LORD JESUS CHRIST: 7416 = 3368 + 4048!

The Golden Verse of the Golden Chapter (2 Thess 1:5) and Bob's Golden Rectangle are the work of the Master Mathematician, even the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Golden Rectangle Golden Verse
7416 = Circumference of Circle that contains the Golden Rectangle 7.416 verse from the end of the Golden Chapter (2 Thess 1)
2008 = longer side of Golden Rectangle 2008 = chapter order of the Golden Chapter


Surprisingly, the Golden Verse  is deeply connected to the CLOCK phenomenon. The 7.416th verse from the end of the Golden Chapter (12 verses), is the 8th verse. Hence, the number 8 divides a set of 12 numbers according to the Golden Ratio. The clock time 20:08 hours is PRECISELY 1208 minutes! The 5768th minute (5768 is the corresponding Hebrew year for 2008) is 12:08 AM after four days!

Golden Verse CLOCK Time
12 verses (Golden Chapter)
8th verse (Golden Verse)		 1208 minutes = 20:08 hours
12 verses (Golden Chapter)
8th verse (Golden Verse)		 12:08 AM (Day 5) = 5768th minute


Lest we forget, the 7416th minute (Golden Verse is verse 7.416) is (2008+5768)th minute when read as a Jewish time! The numbers are all connected!


The Golden Verse of the Gospel of John

There are 879 verses in the Gospel of John. In view of what we have found above, isn't it astonishing that the Golden Verse of John's Gospel is John 12:8 (the longer side)? In this verse, Jesus speaks of Himself, "For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always."

John 12:8 is verse 336 counting from the last verse of the Gospel of John. The number 336 links right back to 7416 (and hence 2008+5768) since the 7416th minute is 3:36 AM on day six! This was the time at which the Lord woke me up two Sundays ago! (See end of this link.)

John 12:8 is verse 3444 of the New Testament. The number 3444 is the sum of two golden segments of 2008 and 5768!

Golden Section: 2008 = 767 + 1241
Golden Section: 5768 = 2203 + 3565
Golden Verse: 3444 = 1241 + 2203 !!!!

The FIRST intimation of Jesus in Hebrew, YEHOSHUA (gematria 391), appears in Gen 49:18, "I have waited for thy salvation [YESHUAH; gematria 391], O LORD." This verse is also the FIRST scripture with gematria value 1388, the Greek gematria value of LORD JESUS!

The Hebrew for 'salvation', YESHUAH, is listed as H3444 in Strong's Concordance! The verse number, 4918, sections the New Testament (7957 verses) into a golden section!

Golden Ratio is the KEY that links all the numbers!

The Golden Ratio (3444; 4918; John 12:8) is used by Jesus (YEHOSHUA; 'Me' of John 12:8) to point to 2008 (1208 minutes) and 5768 (12:08 AM on day 5)!

Gen 49:18 is no ordinary scripture. The Wonderful Numberer is hidden in the verse total, 1388 (LORD JESUS), and the Hebrew word for salvation, Yeshuah (H3444).

The sum of both Golden Ratio segments, 4918 & 3444, is 8362 -- an anagram of 2368 (JESUS CHRIST). Section the total 8362 according to the Golden Ratio; the longer segment is 5168.000208. The decimal digits 208 relates to the CLOCK time 2:08 -- the time that broke the LORD's TIME code.

But the clincher is this: the number 5168, as minutes of day, is 2:08 PM on day four! When read as Jewish time from 6 pm sundown the day before, 2:08 PM is 20:08 hours!

JESUS keeps pointing to 2008!

John 12:8 is another extraordinary scripture. It is the Golden Verse of John's Gospel. If 7416 (sum of two Greek gematria values of LORD JESUS CHRIST: 3368 & 4048) is the circumference of a circle, the Golden Rectangle inside it has sides 2008 & 1241. This was previously noted. The new astounding information is this: if 2008 is the circumference of a circle, the Golden Rectangle inside it has sides 336.02 and 543.69 (or 544); the sum of the two sides is slightly in excess of 879 -- the total number of verses in John's Gospel. The Golden Verse of John's Gospel is John 12:8 -- verse 336 counting from the end and verse 544 counting from the start!

John is pointing to 2008!

This is the YEAR of our redemption!
