home 2005 Gen.1:1. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” Genesis 1:1 expresses the first visible acting of God. A Creation appears. When a human creates something he is doing that with his hands. The bible tells us that we are created in the image of God. That is why I thought that this acting would express itself in one or an other way in the first bible verse. That's the reason I looked at the anatomical structure of our hands and arms and counted the parts of the skeleton. The resemblance with the verse is striking. To make this visible the values of the seven words of Gen.1:1 have to be counted till their reduced number. I will show that from example with the first word ‘In the beginning’, berashit: In
the beginning= 9+1+3=13 1+3=4 So the reduced number of the first word is 4. Then we proceed to count in the same way the six other words till their reduced number: The reduced number 4 of the first word happens to be the number of our fingertips, whereby we should realize that the thumb has one bone less and gets counted in the following sequence (see the picture). This counting is going well with all the other words and bones until we reach the upper arm (out of sight) The upper arm has only one bone, and the basic number of ‘the earth’ is 8. What is going on here? Well, imagine you are in a grocery shop and there are standing some articles on the counter. The grocer types the amounts on the cash desk. To control if he has done well, the grocer counts the number of amounts and the number of articles. When the numbers are corresponding, then he didn’t overlook something. In my point of view the bible writer did so. There are seven sequences to be counted, and this number is added to the ‘one’ of the upper arm bone. I think it is coded in this way, and this is probably (one of) the reason(s) that the basic number of ‘the earth’ is 8. But there are other reasons for adding the seven to the one. The 6-1 patron of the six days of creation and the seventh as rest day (Shabbat) is also present. To the seventh day God adds something extra. That day He blessed and sanctified it. But later more about this issue. Counting numbers till their basic or reduced number is mathematical or practical seen of course nonsense. But, if done consequent, it can function as a code. Nothing is wrong with that. But a coding that holds in one case does not necessarily have to hold in an other case. There are variations possible like flowers in the field. The total sum of the reduced numbers of the words of Gen.1:1 is: 4+5+5+5+8+2+8=37. Because we do not have one but two arms, this number will be doubled. This needs to be done symmetrically like our hands mirror themselves, so we find 37-73. The activity of Gods acting, creating heaven and earth, is expressed by the multiplication of these two numbers. It appear to be the factors of the number value of Gen.1:1, for 37x73 is 2701: Gen.1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”
296 + 407 + 395 + 401 + 86 + 203 + 913 = 2701 The
11th letter of the alphabet, the kaf,
The
plural form of hand is kefim,
Foundation of the earth=
foundation (mosad)=
The
original letter symbols in old Hebrew of the word kaf, 37x73 expresses Gods acting, and 37x37 expresses the activity of Gods Spirit (Ruach Elohim).
The connection
between thoughts (spirit) and acting is speaking. With the 22nd
word of the bible in Gen.1:3 starting on the 81st letter, God
speaks for the first time in the bible. 81 is the number
value of the name of the 17th letter of the alphabet, the peh/feh, Like the number values of the words of Gen.1:1 can be counted to their smallest reduced number, so they can be reduced to their smallest basic prime. Primes are the smallest dividers of whole numbers and they can only be divided by themselves or by one. I call it numbers that cannot ‘lie’. They are good nor bad, but they can't deny what they represent. Therefore they represent the truth. Also the counting till the smallest prime has again a remarkable result. I will show from example with the first word how to count: In
the beginning= 9+1+3=13 Should 13 be counted further then is the result: 1+3= 4, and 4 is not a prime. 4 is the first composite number. So at 13 we stop counting. Although the fourth word with the value 401 is already a prime, it can be counted until 5 as smallest prime: 4+0+1=5. The sum of
these smallest reduced prime basics is: 13+5+5+5+17+2+17=64.
This is the number value of the plural form for an other word for hands,
jadim (Isa.13:7): In Greek gematria the number value of the word truth is 64: truth:
αληθεια Together with the common reduced number 37 of Gen.1:1 it contributes to a remarkable possibility. The multiplication of 64 and 37 is: 64x37=2368 the Greek gematria of Jesus Christ: Ιησους
Χριστος (10+8+200+70+400+200)+(600+100+10+200+300+70+200)= 888+1480=2368 So seems Gen.1:1 to hide the activity of God by mean of Jesus Christ. This is very remarkable when we do realize that Genesis is written about 1450 before Christ. So has the first bible writer Gods Plan hidden in the first verse. John 1:3 states in fact that Jesus has participated in the creating process:
And about the truth said Jesus about himself: ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life’:
If we see this and can accept it, God can place the light in our live, for Gen.1:3 begins on letter 81 and on the 22nd word, there where God begins with the making of the light. When we look further, we see that the 64th word of the bible the first word of Gen.1:7 is:
If we take this saying by Isaiah from Isa.46:10 seriously, than we don't have to be surprised that we can find Jesus Christ hidden and coded in Gen.1:1. Incidentally, the introduction to this statement in the previous verse Isa.46:9 has the number value 2024, which is the 3D number of 22. 22 is the size of the alphabet. The ratio between the number of words and letters is 11:44 or 1:4.
