"The Heptadic Structure of Scripture"
Pastor Bob and Doves :
Thank you for mentioning Ivan Panin's amazing research. Shortly before
Panin died in 1942 it was noted that there is not only a single design
of the number "7" in every verse, both Old Testament and New Testament,
but that there was a "TRIPLE design of "7" in every verse.I am trying to
recall the Three designs ; Place Value, Order Value, and a Numeric
value, I think. Each calculation was independent, every Bible verse
contained all three.
This triple "7" verse design is in addition to all of the other designs
of "7" Panin detailed in his extensive writings. Some of Panin's classic
published works were : The Last Twelve Verses of Mark, Bible
Chronology, Bible Numerics, Genesis 1:1. I recall- the book is not in
front of me-- that the Last Twelve Verses of Mark contained some 60
pages of designs of "7". Panin was an amusing and interesting
writer, very skilled with words. Karl Sabiers also wrote a fascinating
book on Panin's findings titled , Astounding Bible Discoveries.
A German gentleman, Gustav Hoyer, had fled the Nazis in 1939 and moved
to the US. Mr Hoyer and his wife, Lydia, worked for two years with Panin
until 1942 and then continued the work in Chicago for many years after
Panin died. Hoyer died about 1992. I managed to meet Mr Hoyer
briefly in the 1980's in his Chicago home. Between Panin and Hoyer the
two had some 90 years combined research, tabulating letters,
words,gematria, etc. Some might say they had too much time on their
hands. I say they will be counted as mighty people in the Lord's eyes.
Like Mary, they desired to sit at His feet, to learn and search His
Word.
