Readers -
Ever since the Lord Jesus mandated that I work on these Bible numbers, starting in December 1997, I hoped and believed there was a predictable way to navigate the Bible via Strong's numbers. Yes, I've posted for years about alignments or "matches" that show up in the studies, and yes I have some success in predicting what will appear when a number search is undertaken in the Bible texts. Still, it has been hit or miss.
This issue may have ended with this material, and the Lord Jesus may have shown a master key to this endeavor.
It's based on "Doubling" numbers - mostly Strong's numbers. I hope you can follow this - it's actually pretty simple.
It started with a search for patterns between Old & New Testaments using the number 120. I wondered if matches would exist between the 120 of Genesis 6:3, and the 120 of Pentecost, the approximate number of people in the upper room.
Genesis 6:3"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
Acts 2:1"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."
(yes, I know that Acts 1:15 is the verse where the Bible text sites the number 120, but just bear with me and I'll get to that.)
After about an hour's worth of work, I hadn't made any progress, in that I hadn't come up with a tie between Acts and Genesis, - so I decided to chase the thread on the basis of dividing 2804 by two - and that is the process, dividing by two or multiplying by two the target number.
The total verse gematria for Genesis 6:3 = 2804.
Switch number systems:
Strong's 2804 greek appears three times, ALL IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. Acts 11:28, Acts 18:2, Acts 23:26
2804 /2 = 1402
Bible verses with a total verse gematria of 1402 happens in three verses, TWICE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. Acts 5:33, Acts 7:10
switch number systems
Strong's 1402 greek appears in eight verses, FIRST VERSE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. Acts 7:6
1402 /2 = 701
Strong's 701 greek appears four times, TWICE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. Acts 6:2. Acts12:3
(special note: Strong's 701 hebrew appears one time, IN 2 SAMUEL 23, 2 Samuel 23:35, David's mighty men)
multiply 2802 x 2 = 5608
Strong's 5608 greek appears ONCE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. Acts 7:16
*****
I hoped you followed that -These numbers based on doubles of the base prime number 701 predominantly appear in the book of ACTS. That seems to tie Genesis 120 to Acts.
Further proof:
Genesis 6:3 = Bible verse 141
Acts 2:1 = Bible verse 26939
I subtracted the two to come up with the difference, anticipating that the difference would be based on the prime number 701.
26951 - 141 = 26810
This proved to be INCORRECT, it is not based on 701. 26810 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 383
BUT ! .....
The total verse gematria for the Bible verse 26810, which is John 18:24... IS BASED ON 701 !
John 18:24 total verse value = 4907
4907 = 701 x 7 !
Genesis 6:3 and the 120 years appear tied together. This appears true EVEN THOUGH I have no idea what the verses mean nor the Strong's words - what I know is that they are IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. That is some kind of theology statement in and of itself that The Lord God made when He wrote His Book, and hopefully, further study will reveal it.
Know this though - the Church Age started in Pentecost - and every circle gets closed where it starts.
******
Special note: I did not use the Acts 1:15 that specifically sites the number 120 in the text, because I thought the word Pentecost, and the first appearance of the word (Strong's 4005 greek) might be more important, as people's names and location names seem to be most important. This proved to be correct, as using the Acts 1:15 Bible verse did not produce a 701 based number.
That's all I have for now on this material.
Jesus is Lord.
Amen.
