Introduction
(Jer 33:3 !"all unto #e$ and I %ill an&%er thee$ and &ho% thee great and #ighty thing&$ %hich thou 'no%e&t not.! 2 am determined that this boo* 1ill start 1ith a AbangB and end 1ith a AbangB. 4he in9ormation you are about to read could very 1ell change your li9e$ as 1ell as your thin*ing 9orever$ so it is important to me that you *no1 e;actly 1hat this boo* is all about$ right 9rom the start. What 9ollo1s is a series o9 verses that have been selected 9rom the Scriptures. 4hey all deal 1ith the same themeI all *no1ledge and 1isdom comes 9rom Eod$ and He 1ants to put that *no1ledge in our hearts. He reveals things to us through His Word. 29 1e 1ill study His Word and see* 1isdom 9rom it$ He 1ill sho1 us mighty things that 1e never *ne1 be9ore. 2t is His promise. 'ead the 9ollo1ing verses care9ully. :ou 1ill see the common theme in each one o9 them. By the 1ay$ 2 have also ta*en the time to highlight a number that is common in each re9erence. 2 1ill then sho1 you 1hy this number stands out in each verse. J7er 33:3K < all unto me$ and 2 1ill

ans1er thee$ and show thee great and mighty things$ 1hich thou *no1est not.< J?@e* 33:33K <And 1hen this cometh to pass$ Jlo$ it 1ill come$K then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.< J7ob 33:3K <My 1ords shall be o9 the uprightness o9 my heartI and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.< J7ob 33:33K <29 not$ hear*en unto meI hold thy peace$ and I shall teach thee wisdom.< J7ohn 3:3%K <And 1hat he hath seen and heard$ that he testi9iethH and no man receiveth his testimony." J7ohn 3:33K <He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that Eod is true.< JDeu 33:3K <:ea$ he loved the peopleH all his saints are in thy handI and they sat do1n at thy 9eetH every one shall receive of thy words.< J7er +%I33K <And they have turned unto me the bac*$ and not the 9aceI though I taught them$ rising up early and teaching them$ yet they have not hear*ened to receive instruction.< J2sa 33I-K <And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability o9 thy times$ and strength o9 salvationI the 9ear o9 the ,O'D is his treasure.< JProv 3:3K <,et not mercy and truth

9orsa*e theeI bind them about thy nec*H write them upon the table of thine heartI< J% or 3:3K <(orasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us$ 1ritten not 1ith in*$ but 1ith the Spirit o9 the living EodH not in tables o9 stone$ but in fleshly tables of the heart.< JPsa 33I""K <4he counsel of the L !" standeth 9or ever$ the thoughts of his heart to all generations.< 2t 1ould appear that there is a deliberate pattern to be 9ound in the Scriptures that relates to the Wisdom o9 Eod. :ou can probably see that all o9 these verses are associated 1ith the number 33. 4his number is 9ound several times in the Scriptures. 7esus 1as 33 1hen he 9inished his teaching and healing ministry$ died$ and then rose again on the 3rd day. 2 do not believe that this 1as by accident. Our Eod is a Eod o9 order. Nature and the la1s o9 science declare it to be so. And$ i9 everything in Eod5s creation is ordered per9ectly by Eod$ then it stands to reason that His Holy Word must also be a boo* o9 order. 2n 9act$ the Bible itsel9 declares that it is a boo* o9 order. J" or "=I33K <(or Eod is not the author of confusion$ but o9 peace$ as in all churches o9 the saints.< 2t is interesting$ but understandable$ 1hy

these e;act 1ords 1ere used in the Scriptures. A9ter all$ it 1asn5t really Paul5s 1ords to the orinthians$ it 1as Eod5s. He and He alone is the Author o9 the Scriptures$ and they$ even in their current 9orm$ have Him as their origin. 4hat is the purpose o9 this boo*H to provide undeniable evidence that the Bible is Divinely inspired in all its details$ and to gain understanding o9 the prophetic principles contained in the Scriptures. Many say that the Bible is 0ust a boo* 1ritten by men. As you read this$ you 1ill understand that it cannot be so. Many say that the Bible may have been inspired many years ago$ but 1e really do not have His Word preserved per9ectly 9or us today. As you read the evidence contained in this boo*$ you 1ill also see that Eod has absolutely preserved His Word 9or our use and understanding. As 1e ma*e our entrance into a ne1 millennium$ Eod5s Word is more po1er9ul and relevant than it has ever been in all o9 history. And one more thingH as 1e understand that spiritual insight must come 9rom Eod Himsel9$ it is no mystery then$ that 1e 1ould 9ind the 1ord AsightB e;actly 333 times in the Scriptures. We 1ill deal more 1ith this later on.

There is no reason for Christians to doubt the credibility of these Books (of the Bible), because there are testimonies in our books out of almost every one of them, the same as they are found in the Hebre ! "or did Christ, hen He re#roved many thin$s in the teachin$s of the %a , and in the &harisees of His time, ever accuse them of falsifyin$ the Books of 'oses and the &ro#hets, or of usin$ su##osititious or altered books! And it can never be #roved, or made credible, that after Christ(s time the )cri#ture should be corru#ted in anythin$ of moment, if e consider ho far and ide the *e ish nation, ho every here ke#t these Books, as dis#ersed over the hole orld!+ Hu$o Grotius, The Truth of the Christian ,eli$ion

#hat is the $ing %ames Code&

4his boo* came as )uite a surprise to me. 2t 1as originally intended to be 0ust one chapter in a much larger boo* on Bible prophecy. 2 had already gathered a small amount o9 in9ormation 1hen 2 began 1riting the chapter$ and as 2 sat do1n and began 1riting these things$ the ,ord literally began sho1ing me ne1 and e;citing codes nearly every single day. Many times 2 1ould sit do1n to 1rite out some things that 2 had discovered the day be9ore$ and could never get to them because the ,ord 1as sho1ing me brand ne1 patterns that 2 had never seen be9ore. 4his is ho1 this boo* came

about. 29 2 had to describe the 6ing 7ames ode in a nutshell$ 2 1ould do it this 1ay. 4he 6ing 7ames Bible contains a system o9 numbers that are consistently lin*ed 1ith 1ords or phrases in the Scriptures. 2t is understood that the Bible can be comprehended on many levels. 4he more you study the Scriptures and become accustomed to them$ the more you understand the Divine symbols o9 certain passages that you never sa1 be9ore. 4hese must al1ays come as a product o9 Divine 'evelation. ertain 1ords and phrases ta*e on a 1hole ne1 meaning$ never contradictory to any other passage in the Scriptures. As you study$ you also begin to see that numbers seem to have a certain relevance in the Bible. ?ach number 1ill have its o1n symbolic meaning. 4hings associated 1ith completion or per9ection 1ill be lin*ed 1ith the number '. 4hings associated 1ith the sin9ulness o9 man 1ill be associated 1ith the number ($ and so on. What 2 have discovered$ or rather$ 1hat the ,ord has revealed$ is that 1ord and phrase occurrences$ as 1ell as chapter and verse divisions in the 6ing 7ames Bible 9ollo1 this same pattern. 29 a 1ord or a phrase is added or omitted$ this ruins the pattern. ould it be that this is 1hy Eod commanded us not to add to or ta*e a1ay 9rom His Word> JDeut. =I%$ 'ev. %%I".$"#K Please read these pages care9ully and 1ith an open mind. 2t may bene9it you to ac)uire some *no1ledge o9 the use o9 numbers in the Bible$ but a mastery o9 the sub0ect is not necessary. (or those 1ho are not 9amiliar at all 1ith the usage o9 Bible

numerics$ 2 include a re9erence guide in the ne;t chapter. Numbers are one o9 the 9e1 things in this 1orld that can truly re9lect the nature o9 Eod in several 1ays. (irst$ numbers are in9inite. We 1ill never count the last number$ because it does not e;ist. Not only are they in9inite in positive 9orm$ but in negative 9orm as 1ell. 4his per9ectly describes a Eod 1ho is eternalH a Eod 1ho al1ays 1as and al1ays shall be. Numbers are constant. 4hey never change. 2n this 1orld$ languages have changed$ people have changed$ the 1orld itsel9 is in a constant state o9 change$ but numbers remain the same. %L% al1ays e)ual = and al1ays 1ill. 4here is no 1ay it 1ill change. Numbers are one o9 the 9e1 things$ according to 'evelation %"$ that 1ill accompany us 9rom this 1orld to the ne;t. 4hey are as eternal and in9inite as our Mighty Eod is. 4he *ey principle that the 6ing 7ames ode is based upon is the principle o9 counting. 2n ?cclesiastes the Bible gives us the 9ollo1ing doctrinal truth. J?ccl MI%F3%MK A2 applied mine heart to *no1$ and to search$ and to see* out 1isdom$ and the reason o9 things$...N%MO Behold$ this have 2 9ound$ saith the preacher$ counting one by one) to find out the account:B We are also told in 'evelation "+ that

1isdom and understanding can be gained by counting. J'ev "+I".K <Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number o9 the beastI 9or it is the number o9 a manH and his number is Si; hundred threescore and si;.< :ou 1ill see the correlation bet1een these t1o passages later on in this boo*. As 2 continue to study these various numerical patterns contained in the Scriptures$ 2 reali@e that their purpose is t1o9old. Aside 9rom the idea o9 shedding ne1 light on the argument over the inspiration and preservation o9 the Holy Scriptures$ 1e also 9ind that they seem to be prophetic and interpretive in nature. As you study the numbers and the patterns contained in this boo*$ you 1ill see more o9 1hat 2 mean. 4he very nature o9 any pattern is that there is al1ays a consistency to them. Once you recogni@e that something is done in a consistent pattern$ you can then ta*e the ne;t logical step and be correct. As it relates to Bible prophecy$ once 1e clearly see ho1 Eod has consistently per9ormed things in the past$ 1e understand that that is ho1 He is going to do things in the 9uture. 4he numbers that are used in the Scriptures are there 9or a very important reason. 4he patterns that are based upon these numbers appear to be deliberate as 1ell. Once 1e begin to study them and use them as a principle 9or interpretation$ the Scriptures reveal to us that 1e

1ill gain spiritual 1isdom and understanding. Please read the 9ollo1ing pages care9ully. All o9 this research can be easily replicated using a Bible search program. 2 recommend using Puic*8erse +.& 9or Windo1s. 2t is the program that 2 used in gathering this in9ormation. Puic*8erse 1ill allo1 you to search 9or a 1ord or phrase$ and then list e;actly ho1 many times that 1ord or phrase is 9ound$ and sho1 you ho1 many verses in 1hich it is 9ound. Not all Bible search programs 1ill do this. Also$ Puic*8erse comes 1ith a master list o9 all the 1ords in the Authori@ed 8ersion JA8K$ along 1ith the number o9 times each 1ord is 9ound in the te;t. As 2 said earlier$ this in9ormation came on me rather )uic*ly. Although 2 have made several attempts at proo9reading and double3chec*ing the various patterns 9or accuracy$ there may be an occasion 1here 2 have made an error. ,et me assure you$ that any errors in this boo* are merely the result o9 human 9railty and not sinister manipulation. 2 1elcome any response you may have a9ter revie1ing this in9ormation. My address is given at the 9ront o9 the boo*. 4han* you and may the ,ord bless you.

,isted belo1 is a )uic* re9erence guide to the symbolic meanings o9 various numbers that are used in the Bible. 4his is not an e;haustive list$ nor is it meant to be totally comprehensive as to their meanings. 2 have selected certain o9 these numbers to 9ocus on in this boo*$ and their meanings 1ill become apparent. 2 recommend purchasing at least one$ i9 not several$ boo*s 1ritten by di99erent authors on the sub0ect. 4his list is compiled 9rom t1o o9 these boo*s$ plus my o1n research into Biblical numbers. 2n a 9e1 instances$ 2 depart 9rom previously published material on Bible numerics$ as to meaning and usage o9 certain numbers$ but 9or the most part$ there is a general agreement concerning a ma0ority o9 these numbers. 2 also recommend using this list and the research contained in this boo*$ to advance your o1n study. 4he Word o9 Eod 1ill be your authority and the Holy Spirit 1ill guide you into all truth.

Here are a 9e1 principles to *eep in mind 1hen it comes to understanding certain numbers in the Bible. O9ten$ numbers above "% 1ill carry several di99erent meanings$ usually dependant on

the conte;t o9 the verse or chapter they are located in$ or by 1hat numbers they are compounded$ or by 1hat they are the sum o9. (or instance$ the repeated numbers$ %%$ ++$ ==$ FF$ --$ etc..$ are used either as repeated numbers$ giving them a compounded meaning o9 the main number$ or sometimes they carry 1ith them the identi9ication 1ith the number ""$ % Q ""$ + Q ""$ etc. Numbers that are multiples o9 "&$ may carry their o1n signi9icance$ or carry the idea o9 the root number being compounded$ JF$ F&$ F&&$ F&&&$ "$ "&$ "&&$ "&&&... and so on.K 2n several cases$ as 1e 1ill see$ the number o9 times a certain 1ord or phrase is 9ound in the Scriptures$ gives that number its meaning$ or is associated in some 1ay 1ith a meaning already established. As you are reading through your Bible$ ta*e note o9 ho1 certain numbers are used$ consult the meaning o9 that particular number$ and as* the )uestion$ AWhat principle or doctrine is being taught by this number as it relates to the conte;t o9 the passage.B (or instance$ in Eenesis %=$ 1hy did Abraham5s servant ta*e ten camels 1ith him to 9ind a bride 9or 2saac> 2n the story$ he ta*es ten camels to search 9or a 1i9e 9or the only begotten son o9 Abraham Jtype o9 hristK. When he 9inds 'ebe*ah$ she is carried bac* to 2saac riding on the camelsG Why> Because *+) in this case$ represents the 4estimony o9 the 1ritten Word o9 Eod$ i.e the 4en ommandments$ and Eod5s Word tells us that 1henever Eod issues 9orth His Word$ it never comes bac* empty handed$ but al1ays accomplishes that 1hich it 1as sent out to doG J2sa FFI""K <So shall my 1ord be that goeth 9orth out o9

my mouthI it shall not return unto me void$ but it shall accomplish that 1hich 2 please$ and it shall prosper in the thing 1hereto 2 sent it.< 4hat is 0ust one instance o9 ho1 to use the numbers o9 the Bible as a tool 9or interpretation. 2t cannot$ at least 9or no1$ be proven that every single number in the Bible has any great signi9icance. Many are$ ho1ever$ 9inding out more and more o9 the mysteries o9 the Scriptures in these last days. 2t is the opinion o9 this author that to omit or other1ise change any o9 the numbers 9ound in the Scriptures is a mista*e that should be avoided at all costs. 4he problem that many o9 the modern translations have is that they have$ in many cases$ changed the numbers$ usually by converting 1eights and measures into current standards$ or by completely omitting a number$ replacing it 1ith an invented paraphrase. Allo1 me to give one e;ample o9 this. 2n 7ohn -$ the story o9 the 9eeding o9 the 9ive thousand is given. 2n the Authori@ed 8ersion$ verses F through M are recorded as 9ollo1sI J7ohn -IF3MK <When 7esus then li9ted up his eyes$ and sa1 a great company come unto him$ he saith unto Philip$ Whence shall 1e buy bread$ that these may eat> N-O And this he said to prove himI 9or he himsel9 *ne1 1hat he 1ould do. NMO Philip ans1ered him$ ,wo hundred penny1orth o9 bread is not su99icient 9or them$ that every one o9 them may ta*e a little.<

Notice the di99erence bet1een this and its corresponding verses 9rom the N28. J7ohn -IF3MK AWhen 7esus loo*ed up and sa1 a great cro1d coming to1ard him$ he said to Philip$ <Where shall 1e buy bread 9or these people to eat>< J-.K He as*ed this only to test him$ 9or he already had in mind 1hat he 1as going to do. JM.K Philip ans1ered him$ <-ight months. wages 1ould not buy enough bread 9or each one to have a biteG< Not only has the number been omitted$ but a paraphrased interpretation has ta*en its place. 4he phrase Aeight months5 1agesB is not contained in any o9 the Eree* te;ts. 2 am curious as to ho1 the regular student o9 the Bible is supposed to 9ind out that t1o hundred penny1orth is the e;act amount that a person 1ould be e;pected to earn in eight months5 time. 2s this idea or e)uation located in the Bible any1here> 4he ans1er is no. 2 do not doubt that someone has done some digging into ancient history and discovered something$ some1here that told him that a man earned t1o hundred penny1orth in eight month5s time. But isn5t this a case o9 relying on man5s *no1ledge and not Eod5s> 4hose 1ho translated this passage obviously made the assumption that Eod really intended to tell 7ohn to 1rite it do1n as eight month5s 1ages$ but never got around to it$ until the N28 1as published. Please$ don5t do Eod any 9avorsG As you can probably tell$ 2 am a stic*ler 9or

leaving the Bible the 1ay it is. :ou 1ill see 1hy 2 9eel this 1ay as you read through this boo*. Although 2 may not have a 9la1less apologetic 9or the 6ing 7ames 4ranslation$ 2 am content 1ith leaving it intact$ not ma*ing any changes to any portions o9 it$ and letting Eod supply the interpretation He 1ants.

The Books of )cri#ture illustrate and e-#ound each other. as in the mariner(s com#ass, the needle(s e-tremity, thou$h it seems to #oint #ur#osely to the north, doth yet at the same time discover both east and est, as distant as they are from it and each other, so do some te-ts of )cri#ture $uide us to the intelli$ence of others, for hich they are idely distant in the Bible!+ ,obert Boyle, )ome Considerations Touchin$ )tyle of the Holy )cri#tures

oming 9rom a person 1ho hated mathematics in grade school$ the study o9 Bible numerics has been a 9ascinating adventure into Eod5s Word 9or me. 2 am ama@ed each day as 2 open up Eod5s Word and uncover the hidden treasures that are contained in the Authori@ed 8ersion. By studying Eod5s plan 9or America$ 2 reali@ed very early that Eod had placed a very special anointing on this boo*. 4hat anointing has been apparent 9or almost =&& hundred years no1. 2 believe in my heart that it is the 8ery Word o9 Eod. What 2 1ill sho1 in this boo* are the te;tual and numerical patterns that are contained in the Authori@ed 8ersionH patterns that are not replicated in the modern translations. 2 1ill sho1 that not only is Eod5s signature on the te;t$ but on the chapter and verse divisions as 1ell. No1$ 2 reali@e that this

statement 1ill almost immediately be re0ected by many 1ho read this. 2t 1ill there9ore not be my intention to try to convince anyone o9 this principle. 2 am already convinced. 2 1ill only sho1 you the pattern and let you be the 0udge. 4he 9irst such pattern is 9ound in the boo* o9 Eenesis. As you 1ill see$ many$ i9 not all Jthis study is on3goingK$ o9 the chapter divisions in Eenesis 9ollo1 their numerical e)uivalent in the theme o9 each chapter. hapter ". One is the number 9or Beginnings and Dnity. 4he theme o9 Eenesis " is the beginning o9 the creation o9 Eod. Also$ 1hen 1e see the phrase$ A,et us ma*e..B 1e are reminded that A4he ,O'D our Eod is one ,O'D.B Deut. -I= hapter %. 41o is the number 9or division and union. 4he theme o9 Eenesis % is ho1 Eod separated or divided man by removing a rib 9rom him$ creating the 1oman$ and uniting them together in marriage. hapter +. 4hree is the number 9or resurrection and Divine completeness. 2n Eenesis +$ 1e 9ind a microcosm o9 Eod5s plan 9or the ages$ i.e. the 9all 9rom grace$ man5s sin9ul nature$ the Seed o9 the 1oman 1ho is to come$ die 9or sin$ and be resurrected on the third day in order to put do1n the serpent. 2t 1as intended 9or man to live 9orever.

8arious Numerical Patterns 2n this section$ 2 1ill share 1ith you the incredible numerical and te;tual patterns that are contained in the Authori@ed 8ersion.

As you can see$ three being placed into one is )uite a common thing in the Scriptures.

Study and see ho1 many signi9icant things happened on the third day in the Scriptures. No1 9ollo1 1ith me very care9ully. Dnderstanding the principle o9 a Aday e)uals a thousand yearsB$ 1e see that it is appointed 9or this earth a total o9 ( days$ or (+++ years 9or 1or* and 9or sinning.

We are nearing the third day as 1ell. 4he third day and the seventh day are the same day. Here are 9e1 verses that illustrate this.

One o9 the *ey rules 9or correctly identi9ying the various patterns$ 1ord occurrences and so on$ is that the number must match the te;tual use o9 a particular phrase or 1ord. (or instance$ a 1ord or phrase may be 9ound ( times in the Bible or section o9 the Bible$ but may be related to the e)uation o9 353$ giving it an association 1ith per9ection or resurrection in some 1ay$ rather than being related to the number ($ the sin9ulness o9 man. Also$ the particular number that is associated 1ith each pattern is best de9ined by its #robable de9inition rather than all its possible de9initions. As you 1ill see in this boo*$ 2 have made every attempt to

adhere to these rules. 4his chapter on the number ( deals 1ith 1ords or phrases that are associated in some 1ay 1ith man and the sinfulness of man!

We call them Afire and brimstoneB preachers. 2ndeed$ the Bible does reserve fire and brimstone 9or men 1ho are unrepentant and re9use to turn 9rom their 1ic*ed 1ays. 4he phrase Afire and brimstoneB is 9ound e;actly ( Jthe number 9or manK times in the 6ing 7ames Bible. 4he 9irst occurrence o9 this phrase denotes that it is used 9or the 0udgement o9 man. 2t is 9ound in Psalms chapter ** J0udgement and disorderK verse (. 4his chapter has ' verses. 4he entire **th Psalm deals 1ith Eod5s 0udgement on 1ic*ed man. JPsa **:(K <Dpon the wicked he shall rain snares$ fire and brimstone$ and an horrible tempestI this shall be the portion o9 their cup.< 4he (th time this phrase is used$ it spea*s o9 the eternal punishment o9 the 1ic*ed. 2n this passage$ you 1ill notice that there are 1 J/53K

o99ences mentioned. As you 1ill see 9rom the conte;t o9 the verse itsel9$ this pattern is not only associated 1ith the number / J orldlinessK$ but also the number 1 Ja ne be$innin$K. 2n this case$ all that have died in their transgressions$ 1ho have been thro1n into Hell$ are no1 cast into the ,a*e o9 (ire and Brimstone$ the Second Death. Here is the (th occurrence o9 this phrase. J'ev %"I1K ABut the fearful$ and unbelieving$ and the abominable$ and murderers$ and whoremongers$ and sorcerers$ and idolaters$ and all liars$ shall have their part in the la*e 1hich burneth 1ith fire and brimstoneI 1hich is the second death.B ,et us consider a certain city that 1as destroyed by fire and brimstone as an e;ample. 4his city 1as called 6omorrah. 2t 1as the sister city o9 Sodom. Eod sa1 that its 1ic*edness 1as e;ceedingly great$ and had to destroy its 1ic*ed people. 4his city is mentioned e;actly 3/ times in the 6ing 7ames Bible. 4his is the number 9or the sin9ulness o9 man J (K multiplied by the number 9or 1orldliness J /K. 2ncidentally$ it is never mentioned 1ithout being mentioned along 1ith Sodom. Sodom is mentioned e;actly /0 times. 4his is '5'. Does this have anything to do 1ith Eod or per9ection> Hardly. But it does have everything to do 1ith Eod5s completed 1or*.

Notice ho1 Sodom is depicted in the 9ollo1ing verses. J7er /0I".K AAs in the overthro1 o9 4odom and Eomorrah and the neighbour cities thereo9$ saith the ,O'D$ no man shall abide there$ neither shall a son o9 man d1ell in it.B J7er F&I=&K A8s 6od overthrew 4odom and Eomorrah and the neighbour cities thereo9$ saith the ,O'DH so shall no man abide there$ neither shall any son o9 man d1ell therein.B J% Pet %I-K AAnd turning the cities o9 4odom and Eomorrha into ashes condemned them 1ith an overthro1$ making them an ensample unto those that a9ter should live ungodlyHB As you can clearly see 9rom these verses$ Eod utterly destroyed Sodom. Sodom is an e;ample to us to ma*e sure that our lives match up 1ith the per9ect Word o9 Eod. Another 1ord that is 9ound 3/ J(5/K times in the scripture is the 1ord groves. ?very occurrence o9 this 1ord points to the sin9ulness o9 man.

When you multiply the number 9or division 1ith the number 9or the creation$ you reali@e that there 1ill be 3 creations$ the old and the ne1. 4his is the essential idea behind being born again. 4he number 1 is also the sum o9 2 and 3.

(irst$ 1e notice that both o9 the main 9igures in these stories are 1omen. 2t is clearly indicated in the Scriptures that 1omen are usually a typological representation o9 the hurch in general. 2t is a 1oman 1ith *3 stars 1ho appears in 'evelation *3. Ne1 7erusalem in 'evelation %" is 9igured as a bride. 4he very 1ord itsel9$ woman$ is 9ound e;actly 3(+ J*353+K times in the Scriptures. 29 you are at all 9amiliar 1ith the 7e1ish calendar$ you 1ill recogni@e that the Old 7e1ish calendar is based upon a 3(+ day year$ *3 months o9 3+ days apiece. 4his particular 1oman has a problem. Her menstrual 9lo1 1ill not cease. Does this have any spiritual signi9icance> See 1hat the Bible has to say.

J2sa +&I%%K A:e shall de9ile also the covering o9 thy graven images o9 silver$ and the ornament o9 thy molten images o9 goldI thou shalt cast them a1ay as a menstruous clothH thou shalt say unto it$ Eet thee hence.B J,am "I"MK ASion spreadeth 9orth her hands$ and there is none to com9ort herI the ,O'D hath commanded concerning 7acob$ that his adversaries should be round about himI %erusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.B 4he Scriptures teach us that this is symbolic o9 sin and uncleanness. All o9 the 1orldly help she could buy 1as not helping her$ but rather ma*ing her 1orse. 2t 1asn5t until she touched the Master5s clothes$ the robe o9 righteousness$ that she is healed. An honest evaluation o9 the hurch today 1ould reveal that hristianity today is in bad shape and getting 1orse. As the 1orld leans closer and closer to Hell$ the gap bet1een the hurch and the 1orld should have 1idened. But it hasn5t. 4he hurch has actually moved closer to the 1orld and hell than it ever has. We have 9orsa*en the Holy 4ruth contained in the Scriptures and clung to doctrines o9 devils. We need a touch 9rom the Master. 2n the second story$ the 1oman depicted is young$ a damselH and she is dead. We have already read about the dry bones that are brought bac* to li9e in the last days. 4his damsel is 2srael$ 1ho lies dormant$ sleeping$ until a1a*ened out o9 the grave by the coming o9 7esus hrist.

Pay attention to the details o9 every passage in 1hich you come across the number *3. 4he secrets o9 Eod are contained in them$ and they 1ill reveal things about the hurch that desperately needs to be *no1n. Our Saviour revealed a 9e1 secrets about the Eentile hurch and the 7e1ish hurch 1hen he made this statement. J7ohn ""I#3"&K A7esus ans1ered$ Are there not twelve hours in the day> 29 any man 1al* in the day$ he stumbleth not$ because he seeth the light of this world. N"&O But i9 a man 1al* in the night) he stumbleth$ because there is no light in him.B 4he Eentiles are the children o9 the day because 1e 1al* in the light o9 this 1orld$ 7esus$ the $reater li$ht depicted in Eenesis ". 4he 7e1s are currently 1al*ing in dar*ness$ because 7esus is not a light to them. 4heir ruler is the lesser li$ht that rules over the dar*ness$ Satan. 4he boo* o9 Ealatians reveals the 9ollo1ing very important symbolic representations and gives their true meaning.

Hagar$ the mother o9 2shmael$ represents the Old 4estament hurch that is still under the la1$ even today. Sarah represents the Ne1 4estament hurch that is under grace. Notice 1hat it says about Sarah. She represents Heavenly %erusalem$ 1hich is the mother o9 us all. Do you remember 1hat the Bible said about Sarah> JEen "MI"-K AAnd 2 1ill bless her$ and give thee a son also o9 herI yea$ 2 1ill bless her$ and she shall be a mother of nations7 kings of people shall be of her.B Are you beginning to see something you never sa1 be9ore in the Scriptures> 4his representation 1as passed on to Sarah5s daughter3 in3la1$ 'ebe*ah.

One more item o9 interest as it pertains to the Antichrist. 2n 'evelation *3 7ohn sees this beast rise up out o9 the sea. 4here 1as a 9amous god in the Old 4estament 1ho had the li*eness o9 a hal9 man$ and hal9 sea creature. 4his god5s name 1as "agon.

name. His name 1as ;aal. Eod5s people 1ere repeatedly lured into 1orshipping ;aal. 2 believe that ;aal is a ty#e o9 the antichrist. Accordingly$ you 1ill 9ind all the mentions o9 ;aal e;actly *3+ J*35*+K times in the 6ing 7ames Bible. 2n Mar* M$ 7esus gives us a list o9 things that de9ile a man.

4here is another thing that is symbolic o9 de9ilement. 2t is the 1ord palsy. 4his 1ord is 9ound *3 times in the Bible. 4his ma*es the Biblical sic*ness o9 palsy a symbol o9 sin and depravity.

We have already mentioned that Psalm ""# is divided into 33 sections$ each section corresponding to a consecutive Hebre1 letter. 4he theme o9 the entire ""#th Psalm is the ma0esty and 9inal authority o9 the Word o9 Eod. 2t is the Word that sheds light into a 1orld o9 dar*ness. J7ohn "I"3FK A2n the beginning 1as the #ord$ and the Word 1as 1ith Eod$ and the #ord was 6od. N%O 4he same 1as

NFO 8nd the light shineth in darkness7 and the darkness comprehended it not.B 2t might also be mentioned that as there are 33 letters in the Hebre1 alphabet$ so also 1e 9ind that there are 33 boo*s called the letters or e#istles in the Ne1 4estament. 4hey reveal to us the doctrines and the 9uture o9 the hurch. 2ncidentally$ the 1ords AletterB or AlettersB are 9ound a total o9 33 times in the Ne1 4estament$ each one being 9ound e;actly ** times. onsider 1hat 1as said about 7esus. J 7ohn MI"F3"-K <And the 7e1s marvelled$ saying$ Ho1 knoweth this man letters$ having never learned> N"-O 7esus ans1ered them$ and said$ By doctrine is not mine) but his that sent me.< As 1as previously mentioned$ 1e 9ind the A33B pattern in the boo* o9 ,amentations. 2n each chapter$ the verses are divided according to their corresponding Hebre1 letter$ the 9irst Hebre1 1ord in chapter one$ verse one$ begins 1ith ale#h$ the 9irst 1ord in verse % begins 1ith beth and so on. 2n chapter three$ the verses are spaced by three5s so that every third verse begins 1ith its corresponding Hebre1 letter. We notice also that there are 9ive

chapters in the boo* o9 ,amentations. A )uic* study o9 the Hebre1 alphabet reveals that along 1ith the original 33 letters there are 2 letters that are slight variations o9 the originals that are used at the end o9 a 1ord$ giving a total o9 3'. Also$ along 1ith the 33 epistles$ there are 9ive boo*s in the Ne1 4estament that detail the li9e o9 hrist and the 1or*s o9 the early hurch. learly$ this is by Providential design. 2n *eeping 1ith the theme o9 light and revelation$ it is important to note that the Boo* o9 'evelation contains 33 chapters. Here$ at least in this instance$ it becomes obvious that Eod has placed this pattern into the chapter divisions o9 the Bible. ,et5s loo* at a 9e1 e;amples o9 the number 33 in chapter occurrences$ 1hich reveal to us the great mystery o9 Eod. 2n Eenesis 33$ 1e 9ind the great story o9 Abraham o99ering 2saac on the altar. 4his chapter is a complete detail o9 ho1 Eod the (ather 1as going to o99er up His only begotten Son as a sacri9ice$ including the phrase$ AEod 1ill provide Himsel9 a lamb.B 2t is a typological story that reveals to the reader ho1 Eod5s redemptive plan 1as going to be carried out. 4here are many important symbolic details 9ound in this chapter$ including a time prophecy 9or the 9ul9illment$ or antitype$ o9 this story. 2n verse =$ Abraham is given spiritual eyes to see into the 9uture. JEen %%I=K <4hen on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes$ and saw

the place afar off.< 4he ability to AseeB in the Scriptures has everything to do 1ith understanding spiritual things including$ but not limited to$ prophetic things. ,i*e1ise$ the ability to Asee a9ar o99B$ is the ability to see into the prophetic 9uture$ and its usage in the Scriptures al1ays indicates a 9uture prophetic event. Notice the usage o9 the phrase Aa9ar o99B in Peter5s epistle. J% Pet "I#K <But he that lac*eth these things is blind$ and cannot see afar off$ and hath 9orgotten that he 1as purged 9rom his old sins.< As you study the Scriptures$ ta*e special note o9 ho1 this phrase is used$ understanding that it spea*s o9 last days events$ and you 1ill be ama@ed at 1hat you 1ill 9ind. Abraham traveled 9or t1o days to get to the place 1here Eod 1anted him to be. On the third day$ he sa1 it. 4here is not one but t1o passages in the Scriptures that reveal to us that a AdayB 3 1hen used apocalyptically 3 e)uals "&&& years. JPsa #&I=K <(or a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday 1hen it is past$ and as a 1atch in the night.< J% Pet +I.K <But$ beloved$ be not ignorant o9 this one thing$ that one day is 1ith the ,ord as a thousand years$ and a thousand years as one day.<

4here are those 1ho argue that this is not to be understood as a literal time 9rame that Eod 1ill use$ or that it is not given as a prophecy. Ho1ever$ the entire conte;t o9 this chapter points us to the last days. 4hose 1ho say it is not prophetic must e;tract it$ conte;tually$ 9rom the rest o9 the chapter in order to be correct. 2t 1as literally At1o daysB or t1o thousand years 9rom the time that Abraham sa1 Mt.

JEen %%I"=K <And Abraham called the name o9 that place 7ehovah0irehI as it is said to this day$ 2n the mount o9 the ,O'D it shall be seen.< 4his clearly indicates to the reader that Eod 1anted to reveal His Son through this passage 9or all eyes to see. Since this story is a story about Abraham the 9ather and 2saac the son$ it might interest you to *no1 that those t1o phrases$ the father and the son) are 9ound together in the same verse e;actly 33 times in the Ne1 4estament$ including the 9ollo1ing verses.

(rom the various patterns 1e have loo*ed at so 9ar$ and 9rom the 9irst chapter o9 the boo*$ it appears that the number 33 and the number 33 have a similar meaning. 4he best e;planation that 2 have 9or this at this time is that both numbers are 9actors o9 (($ the number o9 boo*s in the Bible. More 1ill be noted later on the number (($ and 1hy the Bible has that many boo*s in it. One o9 the occurrences o9 the 1ord sight is 9ound in the 333rd chapter o9 the Bible$ verse 3.

When 1e loo* 9or it in the 9irst 33 boo*s o9 the Bible$ Eenesis through the Song o9 Solomon$ 1e 9ind that it is mentioned in 333 verses o9 these boo*s.

4he number 33 is the number 9or death. We sa1 in Eenesis 33 the story o9 the death and burial o9 Sarah. No1 let5s loo* at a 9e1 te;tual patterns that are related to the number 33 and the theme o9 death. 2n the boo* o9 Eenesis$ 1e 9ind that the 33rd time >oah is mentioned or re9erred to is located in Eenesis M verse 33. Here is 1hat it says. JEen MI33K <And every living substance was destroyed 1hich 1as upon the 9ace o9 the ground$ both man$ and cattle$ and the creeping things$ and the 9o1l o9 the heavenH and they 1ere destroyed 9rom the earthI and >oah only remained alive$ and they that 1ere 1ith him in the ar*.< 4his verse spea*s o9 Eod ta*ing the li9e o9 everything on the earth. 2t is the design o9 Eod that this pattern 1ould be preserved 9or us.

When 1itnessing to a person about their lost position and their need 9or hrist in their li9e$ many use 1hat is called A4he 'omans 'oad o9 Salvation.B 4he 9irst t1o verses used in this plan are the verses that re9er to the death o9 the sinner. J'om +I33K <(or all have sinned$ and come short o9 the glory o9 EodH< J'om -I33K <(or the 1ages o9 sin is deathH but the gi9t o9 Eod is eternal li9e through 7esus hrist our ,ord.< At this point$ 1e then sho1 that the sinner can have ne1 li9e in hrist. We sho1 them this in the 9ollo1ing verse. J7ohn 3I*(K <(or Eod so loved the 1orld$ that he gave his only begotten Son$ that 1hosoever believeth in him should not perish$ but have everlasting life.< Notice that 1e are in chapter 3 JresurrectionK and verse *( J.;%$ ne1 li9eK. As 2 1as pointing out these patterns to a 9ello1 minister$ he )uestioned 1hether or not this pattern 1ould be present in Psalm 33.

JPsa 33I=K <:ea$ though 2 1al* through the valley of the shadow of death$ 2 1ill 9ear no evilI 9or thou art 1ith meH thy rod and thy sta99 they com9ort me.<

2n the very ne;t boo* o9 the Bible$ the boo* o9 Proverbs$ 1e also 9ind the theme o9 death mentioned in chapter 33. JProv 33I"+3"=K <Withhold not correction 9rom the childI 9or i9 thou beatest him 1ith the rod$ he shall not die. N"=O 4hou shalt beat him 1ith the rod$ and shalt deliver his soul 9rom hell.< No1 1e shi9t our 9ocus to the Ne1 4estament. 4he ultimate death o9 the Ne1 4estament 1as the death o9 our Saviour$ 9ound in the 9our Eospels. 4he e;act 1ord used 9or this death is the 1ord crucified. 4his 1ord is 9ound e;actly 33 times in the 9our Eospels$ including the 9ollo1ing verses. Notice the chapter and verse re9erences. JMat %MI33K <And the governor said$ Why$ 1hat evil hath he done> But they cried out the more$ saying$ ,et him be crucified.< J,u*e 33:33K <And they 1ere instant 1ith loud voices$ re)uiring that he might be crucified.

When 1e search 9or all occurrences o9 these t1o 1ords$ and count to the 33rd location o9 either o9 these t1o 1ords$ 1e 9ind that it is located in the 9ollo1ing place. J,u*e 33:33K <And they 1ere instant 1ith loud voices$ re)uiring that he might be crucified. And the voices o9 them and o9 the chie9 priests prevailed.< 2n relation to the theme o9 hrist5s death on the ross$ Paul reveals to us ho1 1e may 9ollo1 hrist in his sacri9ice.

Here is 1hat 2 9ound. 4his is the /(th occurrence o9 the devil.

No1$ loo* closely at

the previous verse. 2t says that death and hell 1ere also cast into the la*e o9 9ire. 4he 1ord hell is 9ound e;actly 33 times in the Ne1 4estament. 4he 33rd time is 'evelation %&I"=. 4he 1ord death is 9ound e;actly *31 J335(K times in the Ne1 4estament. 4he very last time death is mentioned is in 'evelation %&I"=. 2 am convinced that the number 33 is the number 9or death. When 1e loo* at the 33rd occurrence o9 the 1ord death in the Ne1 4estament$ here is 1hat 1e 9ind. J,u*e "IM#K <4o give light to them that sit in dar*ness and in the shadow of death$ to guide our 9eet into the 1ay o9 peace.< 2 am sure you recogni@e this phrase. 2t is 9ound in Psalm 33. 2t does obviously appear that things 1ere placed in the Bible in a particular order and in a particular 9ashion. 4he theory that says that Eod only inspired the original autographs o9 the Bible does not allo1 9or these patterns to e;ist$ and yet they do.

As you 1ill plainly see$ the number (( is a number that represents the earthly House of 6od. (rom our study on the numbers 33

and 33$ 1e can certainly see ho1 Eod 1ould 1ish to associate His people$ the earthly House o9 Eod$ 1ith spiritual insight$ revelation$ and *no1ledge. Some 1ould say that since this number consists o9 a double ($ that it carries a negative connotation$ and is someho1 an evil number.

4he number /++ is the number that represents Eod5s absence and is similar in meaning to the number /+. We illustrate the use o9 this number by remembering the statement that Eod made to Abraham. JEen "FI"+K <And he said unto Abram$ 6no1 o9 a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs$ and shall serve themH and they shall a99lict them four hundred yearsH< Eod prophesied and revealed to Abraham that his seed 1as going to be in bondage 9or /++ years. 4his too* place at the very last o9 the boo* o9 Eenesis$ as 7acob brings his 9amily do1n to the land o9 Eoshen. :ou might notice that during their stay in this land$ there is no 1ord 9rom the ,ord.

Moses does not record anything happening during this time. Eod is absent 9rom them 9or /++ years. 4his is very similar to the period o9 time 1e call the 0nter8testamental &eriod. (rom the time o9 Malachi$ the last boo* o9 the Old 4estament$ to Matthe1$ the 9irst boo* o9 the Ne1 4estament$ is a period o9 /++ years. Our current canon o9 Scriptures indicates that Eod did not spea* and 1as absent during this time. 4hose boo*s that 1ere 1ritten during this time period could never ta*e their place along side the truly inspired boo*s o9 the Protestant anon. 2n 2 6ings ".I"# 1e 9ind that the number o9 prophets o9 the groves 1ho eat at 7e@ebel5s table is /++. 4ruly$ Eod is not 1ith them either. 4here are only t1o 1ords in the Scriptures that are 9ound e;actly /++ times. 4he 9irst one is the 1ord AfearB. Notice its usage and see ho1 it re9lects this pattern. JEen %-I%=K <And the ,O'D appeared unto him the same night$ and said$ 2 am the Eod o9 Abraham thy 9atherI fear not) for I am with thee$ and 1ill bless thee$ and multiply thy seed 9or my servant AbrahamCs sa*e.< J?;o "FI"-K <@ear and dread shall 9all upon themH by the greatness o9 thine arm they shall be as still as a stoneH till thy people pass over$ O ,O'D$ till the people pass over$ 1hich thou hast purchased.< JDeu %&I+3=K <And shall say unto them$ Hear$ O 2srael$ ye approach this day unto

J?;o "=I"-K <But li9t thou up thy rod$ and stretch out thine hand over the sea) and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea." J?;o "FI"K <4hen sang Moses and the children o9 2srael this song unto the ,O'D$ and spa*e$ saying$ 2 1ill sing unto the ,O'D$ 9or he hath triumphed gloriouslyI the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.< When 7onah 1as thro1n into the sea$ this is 1hat he prayed. J7onah %I%K <And said$ 2 cried by reason o9 mine a99liction unto the ,O'D$ and he heard meH out of the belly of hell cried 2$ and thou heardest my voice.<

J'ev "+I"K <And 2 stood upon the sand o9 the sea$ and sa1 a beast rise up out of the sea$ having seven heads and ten horns$ and upon his horns ten cro1ns$ and upon his heads the name o9 blasphemy.< J'ev %"I"K <And 2 sa1 a ne1 heaven and a ne1 earthI 9or the 9irst heaven and the 9irst earth 1ere passed a1ayH and there was no more sea.< As you scan over the uses o9 the A seaB in the Scriptures$ you 9ind that it is representative o9 the many things over 1hich Eod has had the victory. 7esus did not leave Peter in the A seaB to dro1n$ but reached do1n$ gave him the victory$ and saved him 9rom the AseaB.

2 have decided to save the best 9or last. :ou may have$ by no1$ seen some things you have never seen be9ore$ but it hasn5t been enough to put you over the edge o9 belie9 0ust yet. What 9ollo1s in this last chapter is$ 1ithout a doubt$ the most incredible set o9 codes and patterns that you have ever seen. 4he number ' is Eod5s very o1n number. 29 His Word is going to have an association 1ith any number$ it 1ould be this one. Please read very care9ully$ and let the Spirit guide you into all 1isdom and *no1ledge. 4he number ' is associated 1ith Eod$ and 1ith Divine completion and per9ection. 2t has become apparent to most 1ho read the Scriptures$ that the number ' is the most signi9icant number in all o9 the Scriptures. 2t is the number most o9ten mentioned 1hen you as* someone to give them a number out o9 the Bible. As a person reads the Bible$ they o9ten encounter this number and conclude that there must be some very special signi9icance to the use o9 this number in the passage

that they are reading. With that in mind$ it stands to reason that there must be some e;tremely important patterns that are associated 1ith the number '. As you read through this section$ you 1ill understand that the use o9 the number ' in the 6ing 7ames 8ersion is 1hat sets it apart 9rom the other ?nglish translations. Here are many o9 the various patterns associated 1ith the number '. 4he entire Bible is based upon the things that Eod Almighty has said to his servants the prophets. 4hey in turn$ 1rote these things do1n e;actly as they had received it. 4hat is 1hy the Bible is such a per9ect boo*. 2t comes 9rom a per9ect Eod$ 1ho is ordered in all His 1ays. A common phrase that is 9ound in the Old 4estament is a phrase that reveals to us that Eod has indeed given us the very 1ords that have come directly 9rom His mouth. 2t is the phrase A ,hus saith the Lord of HostsB. Since it came 9rom His mouth$ and is recorded in His Word$ it is per9ect and cannot be changed. 4his phrase is 9ound e;actly '+ J'5*+K times in the 6ing 7ames Bible. 4his 1ord$ as 1as mentioned be9ore$ 1as delivered to a special group o9 people the Bible calls Ahis servants the prophetsB. 4his phrase$ since it came 9rom Eod5s mouth is also per9ect$ and should not be changed. 4his phrase is 9ound ' times in the Scriptures. Here is a list o9 its uses. J% 6i "MI%+K <Dntil the ,O'D removed 2srael out o9 his sight$ as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So 1as

2srael carried a1ay out o9 their o1n land to Assyria unto this day.< J% 6i %"I"&K <And the ,O'D spa*e by his servants the prophets$ saying$< J% 6i %=I%K <And the ,O'D sent against him bands o9 the haldees$ and bands o9 the Syrians$ and bands o9 the Moabites$ and bands o9 the children o9 Ammon$ and sent them against 7udah to destroy it$ according to the 1ord o9 the ,O'D$ 1hich he spa*e by his servants the prophets.< J7er %FI=K <And the ,O'D hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets) rising early and sending themH but ye have not hear*ened$ nor inclined your ear to hear.< JDan #I"&K <Neither have 1e obeyed the voice o9 the ,O'D our Eod$ to 1al* in his la1s$ 1hich he set be9ore us by his servants the prophets.< JAmos +I'K <Surely the ,ord EOD 1ill do nothing$ but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.< J'ev "&I'K <But in the days o9 the voice o9 the seventh angel$ 1hen he shall begin to sound$ the mystery o9 Eod should be 9inished$ as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.< Notice that on the last t1o instances o9 this phrase$ the ,ord chose to place it in the 'th verse$ so that 1e 1ould *no1 that it has a special meaning. 2n each case$ 1e 9ind that the prophets are

the recipients o9 the Word o9 Eod. We also reali@e that the Bible itsel9 is a boo* o9 prophecy. J% Pet "I"#K <We have also a more sure 1ord o9 prophecyH 1hereunto ye do 1ell that ye ta*e heed$ as unto a light that shineth in a dar* place$ until the day da1n$ and the day star arise in your heartsI< 4he 1ord prophecy is 9ound 3* J'53K times in the Scriptures. 4he 3*st occurrence o9 this 1ord reveals something that should ma*e us very cautious about ho1 1e handle the Word o9 Eod. J'ev %%I"#K <And i9 any man shall ta*e a1ay 9rom the 1ords o9 the boo* o9 this prophecy$ Eod shall ta*e a1ay his part out o9 the boo* o9 li9e$ and out o9 the holy city$ and 9rom the things 1hich are 1ritten in this boo*.< 29 1e isolate our search 9or 0ust the phrase servants the prophets$ 1e 9ind it mentioned *' times in the Old 4estament$ only t1ice in the Ne1 4estament. 4he number *' is related to the number '$ in that it is the 'th prime number. When 1e e;amine the Scriptures 9or this number$ 1e 9ind the relationship bet1een ' and *' is apparent. 2n Acts %$ there are *' groups 1ho hear the disciples preach about the 1onder9ul works of 6od. 4his phrase is used e;actly ' times in the Scriptures$ the 'th time being 9ound in Acts %. According to Eenesis ' the 9lood began to cover

the earth on the *'th day o9 the second month$ and did not abate until the *'th day o9 the 'th month. 4he *'th time Noah5s name is mentioned is in Eenesis 'I#$ 1hen it says that all the animals came to Noah to be put into the ar* as the %ord commanded$ sho1ing the completion o9 Eod5s Word. 4he *'th time 7esus5 name is mentioned is in Matthe1 ' verse 31 J'5/K. 4his is the only time 7esus5 name is 9ound in this chapter. JMat ':31K <And it came to pass$ 1hen %esus had ended these sayings$ the people 1ere astonished at his doctrineI< 4he *'th time 6od is mentioned is in Eenesis "I*'. 4he very 9irst version o9 the 1ritten Word o9 Eod 1as a little$ t1o 3 tablet boo* commonly called 4he 4en ommandments. 4hey are the basis o9 the la1s that govern this great nation. 4he devil is increasing his attac* on the 4en ommandments because o9 1hat they represent. Eod has placed a very important value on the 4en ommandments$ 9or$ 1e 9ind them located in the '+th chapter o9 the Bible$ ?;odus %&. 4he Bible mentions that they 1ere 1ritten on Atables of stone.B 2n 9act$ the Bible mentions */ J'53K times that they are 1ritten on tables of stone. 2ncidentally$ but not accidentally$ you 1ill 9ind the very 9irst miracle that 7esus per9ormed in the '+th chapter o9 the Ne1 4estament$ 7ohn %. 4he t1o tables of stone 1ere placed

into a very special place called ,he 8rk of the Covenant. 4his represented the throne o9 Eod Himsel9 and the seat o9 His mercy. 4he 8rk of the Covenant is 9ound e;actly /3 J'5(K times in the Old 4estament$ only once in the Ne1 4estament. 2n 9act$ all the speci9ic re9erences to the Ar*$ such as$ ark of the covenant) ark of the L !") ark of the testimony) ark of the 6od of Israel$ etc. are to be 9ound 01 J'5'53) /053K times in the Bible. ?ven the very mention o9 the 1ord ark itsel9$ including the ark o9 Noah$ contains this pattern$ 9or 1e 9ind the 1ord ark mentioned in the Old 4estament e;actly 33/ J'533K times. As 2 mentioned earlier$ it is very clear that the 1ords$ phrases$ verses$ chapters and boo*s o9 the Scriptures have been arranged in a per9ect order. 2t 1ould be impossible 9or men to manipulate a group o9 documents in this manner$ especially men 1ho$ in many cases$ lived thousands o9 years apart. One pattern that 2 discovered about the Divine arrangement o9 the Scriptures 1as revealed to me as 2 read Eenesis "I". 4his verse details the beginning o9 the creation o9 Eod. Notice it is in the first boo* o9 the Bible$ the first chapter$ the first verse. 4he first things al1ays belong to Eod. 2 remembered that there 1as another place 1here there is a similar passage. 2t is in 7ohn *:*. Notice that it also begins 1ith AIn the beginningB$ that it is in chapter *$ and verse *$ but 1hat about the boo*>. 2t is not the 9irst boo* o9 the Ne1 4estament.

J,ev %FI.K <And thou shalt number seven sabbaths o9 years unto thee$ seven times seven yearsH and the space o9 the seven sabbaths o9 years shall be unto thee forty and nine

years.< Since this number 1as so important to Eod$ it is very reasonable to assume that His Word and His Son should be associated 1ith this number. 2t reveals to us in these last days$ e;actly 1ho His Son is$ and no1 reveals to us 1hich Bible is His truly inspired Word. 4he Bible itsel9 states that the Word o9 Eod is a boo* o9 parables. 4he 1ord A parableB is 9ound /0 times. 4he 1ord AparableB is 9ound ' times in the boo* o9 >umbers. All o9 them are 9ound in chapters %+ and %=$ and all o9 them are spo*en by Balaam$ the 9irst time being 9ound in verse ' because..$ JNum %+IF3MK <...the L !" put a word in BalaamCs mouth$ and said$ 'eturn unto Bala*$ and thus thou shalt spea*.

And 1e also see ho1 these various patterns can and must be used to gain a better understanding o9 the Scriptures. Since 1e do see a relationship bet1een the church and the sacri9ice o9 the passover$ 1e are not surprised to 9ind that the symbol o9 our sacri9ice$ 1hen 1e 1ere baptiHed is also similarly related. :ou 1ill 9ind all the 9orms o9 the 1ord baptiHe e;actly '' times in the Scriptures as 1ell.

Many hristians believe in the translation o9 the hurch at 1hich time the hurch$ as the Bride$ 0oins 1ith hrist$ the Bridegroom$ and they t1o 1ill become one. Much speculation about the timing o9 this translation$ or ra#ture$ centers around a particular ' year time period. Some say that the hurch 1ill either be raptured hal91ay through this ' year period or at the end o9 it. 2$ along 1ith others$ believe that this occurs at the beginning o9 this ' year period. ,u*e chapter % gives 0ust a 9e1$ yet very important details about a prophetess named 8nna.

Allo1 me to end this boo* 1ith a little storytelling. A long time ago$ the story goes$ a tiny group o9 people 1as being held in bondage. 4he tyranny o9 the day 1as great and their burdens 1ere heavy. 4hey cried unto Eod 9rom their chains$ and Eod heard them. He sent them a leader$ a man that He had specially prepared$ to ta*e them out o9 this land o9 bondage$ and ta*e them to a ne1 landH a land 9lo1ing 1ith mil* and honey. 4his leader secured their 9reedom and led them across the sea to their ne1 home. Ho1ever$ be9ore Eod allo1ed these$ His people$ to come into this Promised ,and$ He had to ma*e a 9e1 special arrangements 9or them. (irst$ He 1anted to establish them in His truth and not someone else5s$ so He gave them a copy o9 His 1ritten ,a1s$ to establish His truth in all that they did. 4hen$ He made sure all the prior inhabitants o9 the land 1ho *ne1 not Eod 1ould never be a threat to His people. Once this 1as done$ Eod brought His people into this ne1 and 1ondrous place. Eod blessed them in this ne1 land$ 0ust li*e He promised$ and once they 1ere settled$ 9inally established them as His Peculiar People. He used these people in this special land to spread His Eood Ne1s to the 1hole 1orld$ 0ust li*e He promised

their 9ore9athers. He established His covenant 1ith them and said that as long they served Him$ He 1ould 9avor them and bless them. 4he story o9 the ?;odus 9rom ?gypt and the establishment o9 Eod5s people in the Promised ,and is one o9 the greatest stories that can be told. But$ the story 2 0ust told you is not the story o9 the 2sraelites$ it is the real story o9 the establishment o9 America. 4he similarities$ indeed$ are great. Eod has used 2srael as a mirror in the hurch Age to establish a people that 1ould accept His covenant and establish themselves as Eod5s people 9or the purpose o9 spreading the Eospel to the entire 1orld. Our 9ore9athers$ the Pilgrims$ *ne1 this$ and let this calling be their constant incentive to establish a hristian nation$ and allo1 Eod to re9orm His hurch 9rom the bondage o9 the government controlled churches o9 ?urope. And 0ust as sure as Eod delivered His Word in the 9orm o9 the 4en ommandments to the 2sraelites as they established themselves in the Promised ,and$ Eod also delivered His Holy Word to those Puritans and their 9ollo1ers in the 9orm o9 the 6ing 7ames$ or Authori@ed 8ersion o9 the Bible. America is$ and 1as intended$ to be a nation o9 people that 1ere Agathered out o9 many nationsB. All 1ho have come to her shores have be9ore them the greatest opportunity ever 3 the opportunity to become part o9 the Ereat 6ingdom o9 Eod. 4here is no other nation on this planet 1here the Eospel is so 9reely accessible. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that

accompanied the Puritan leader 7ohn Winthrop and '++ settlers 1ho came to the Ne1 World in "-+&. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that 1as used to establish the 9irst churches in America. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that 1as used to establish the 9irst civil governments in the olonies. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that led those brave Patriots in rebellion against the tyranny o9 6ing Eeorge. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that 1as the basis o9 our great la1$ the onstitution o9 the Dnited States. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that our 9irst President$ Eeorge Washington$ laid his hand upon$ to s1ear an oath to preserve and protect the onstitution. 2t 1as open to Deuteronomy %.. Jread it to 9ind out 1hyK 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that used to be taught in our public schools. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that literally millions o9 Americans learned ho1 to read and 1rite 1ith. 2t 1as the 6ing 7ames Bible that 1as the centerpiece o9 the common American home 9or hundreds o9 years. 2t is still the 6ing 7ames Bible that succeeding presidents lay their hand upon to s1ear the same oath. 2t is the 6ing 7ames Bible that many o9 our citi@ens have s1orn upon to tell the truth$ the 1hole truth$ and nothing but the truth. 2t is the 6ing 7ames Bible that is distributed by the millions every year$ 9ree o9 charge$ to military personnel$ chaplains$ prisons$ hospitals$ nursing homes$ hotels and motels$ and schools all across this land. And no1$ 9or some reason$ the 6ing 7ames Bible is not good enough anymore. 4his most sacred o9 all boo*s 1as intended to be Eod5s true shining light 9or all ?nglish

spea*ing peoples all over the 1orld. 4here is no greater representation on earth o9 the beauty o9 the ?nglish language. But no1 1e are trading this Wondrous Wor* in 9or lesser versions 1here the language$ and might 2 say$ the doctrines$ are more modern than elo)uent. So no1 1e understand that the Authori@ed 8ersion has held a revered place among our people 9or nearly =&& years. 4here is no good reason to abandon it$ or trade it in 9or something o9 lesser value. We have 9ound it to be a boo* o9 superior ?nglish$ poetry$ science$ math$ history$ doctrine$ morality$ prudence$ virtueH a boo* o9 the superior ,ove that Eod has 9or all man*ind. 2t certainly 1ould never be my intention to o99end anyone 1ho does not revere the 6ing 7ames 8ersion the 1ay 2 no1 do. 2t is$ ho1ever$ my hope that each one 1ho reads this boo*$ and comprehends this in9ormation 1ould go bac* to the Bible that 1as given to our 9athers$ study it a9resh$ ma*e it a part o9 his daily study$ and let Almighty Eod 9ill his heart 1ith the 1onder9ul truths that are contained in its pages. As 2 re9lect on ho1 all o9 these 1onder9ul things came to my attention$ it 1as the ,ord 1ho reminded me o9 a simple prayer that 2 had prayed in the summer o9 "##.. 2 as*ed the ,ord to sho1 me something special$ something uni)ue about the 678 that no other boo* contains.
