Readers -

I've been mulling over this for years but see enough of it to think it is valid.

God's Word is a cohesive whole, spoken by God Himself, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that sooner or later all numbers in the Bible dovetail - though we might be discovering this into well into Eternity.

I think that there is another Bible - one that operates under a Logic that is tied to the numbers that may even not be readily discerned, nor make sense at first reading of a text, or even further readings for that matter - but God is behind it.

This involves alignments of Book, Chapter and Verse as well as gematrias, and even Strong's numbers as I have tried over the years to present.

Here's an example -

The number 1241 appears as a single word gematria, but it also appears as the total verse gematria of certain verses.

There are seven unique words that have that value - and they appear in various places - but .....

Four of the seven appear in the Book of Acts. The rest are found in separate books.

I was chasing another number the other day, which I cannot resurrect now, but in searching Bible Wheel for which words and verse have that as a gematria total, a long list of candidates appeared - it was probably a three digit number.

There in the list you saw another example of this - the Book of the Bible that had the most "hits" (matches) was Matthew. It had about eight verses with words in it that were the same value as the search number - far greater than any other book in the Bible - even Psalms, the longest book.

There's a Logic behind this that will probably take Jesus Himself to explain face to face.

Using these two examples alone, it appears that the search number is associated with that particular book - not just the verse.
I've done searches for the last six weeks on certain umbers in a variety of number systems, and have landed specifically in 2 Samuel chapter 23 over and over again. This is the chapter about David's mighty men.

I've also done searches the last 3 weeks that have landed me in Proverbs chapter 7 several times. The "beware of the harlot" chapter.

In the past I've written about how many times, after doing a search for some number, I have ended up in Genesis chapter 30, where Jacob removes his "hire" from Laban the Syrian's flocks - the speckled, spotted and brown animals - which I conjecture is the Catching Away.

Strong's numbers find their match many times in the chapter or in the verse, though those the Strong's numbers themselves might appear to be irrelevant. Topically they might match - i.e. the subject matter of the verse or the chapter.

This appears that this is the way the Lord matches words and themes together (also by gematria base numbers, of course). There might not be a number to number exact match every time within Strong's simply because there are more hebrew words than greek  words (8674 vs 5624).

If when following a particular "branch" of thought, and a certain number that you consider to be associated with this topic, but you are not searching for that number specifically - but it shows up in the verse anyway - that appears to be a sort of confirmation that this verse belongs to the branch - i.e. it is a vine off of the branch. These numbers can be from any number system: Strong's, Scripture reference numbers, total word or verse gematrias etc.

imho

I sincerely hope that we will know whether these things are really true or not, in short order - amen!

Jesus is Lord.
