Who Is The Foundation?

 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

Genesis 1:1

The first eleven chapters of  Genesis are often seen by many (including many "theologians") as nothing more than an interesting collection of ancient Hebrew creation myths, fables, or fairy tales.  Yet, the Bible itself reveals that these first chapters are actual historic records.  Of course Genesis 1:1 is the beginning of those "mythological" chapters and has been the focus of the last 5 posts.  So who was the genius that put this verse together?  We still have not come close to all that is below the surface here in this one astonishing verse. 

Most understand that Moses was the writer, but the truth of scripture is that the entire text of the 66 books of the Bible were divinely inspired.  Like Jesus, they appear to be the work of a man but are also the very Word of God.  Like Jesus, one might ask?  Is He not wholly man yet completely God.  Wasn't that the very message of the Gospel of John?  Did John not start his Gospel to sort of mirror the incredible first verse of the Bible? Though John did write the account, God, Himself, autographed these two symmetrical and complementary verses, Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 as shall be seen (and what will be shown is only a small fraction of the Divine watermarks these two verses hold.)

In the first post in this LONG series on Genesis 1:1, A Prime Example of Inspiration, it was noted that the value of the first verse of the Bible was 2,701.  This value was then noted to be the product of the palindromic primes, 37 x 73. There was much more insight there in that post so it might be important to hit the link and read it again. 

What wasn't mentioned is that these two special prime numbers are also known as star numbers.  This means that the values of these numbers can be arranged to form a star pattern that looks like a Chinese checkerboard or a Star of David. This pattern is also known as a centered dodecagonal number.  Is it by random chance that this happens?  Is it an accident that the 3rd star number is 37 and the 4th star number is 73? Doesn't the sum of their positions in the set of star numbers equal God's perfect number 7?  Of course, we expect all of our myths, fables, and fairy tales that claim to be the work of a Divine mind to have complicated hidden mathematics embedded in the text like this, right? Again for emphasis, WE STILL HAVE NOT COME CLOSE TO ALL THAT IS HIDDEN HERE IN THIS ONE ASTONISHING VERSE.

Being the product of  primes, 2,701 stands out a bit for that alone, but there is another interesting fact about this number.  It is in another subset of special numbers known as triangular numbers. If you had 2,701 cans of beans, they could be arranged to form an equilateral triangle.  Wouldn't that be neat as the endcap of a grocery store?  That is the definition of a triangular number, a group of items or dots that can be arranged to form an equilateral triangle.  Interestingly enough, 2,701 is the 73rd triangular number.  Being the 73rd triangular numbers means that the foundation row on your store endcap would have 73 cans. Furthermore, the 37th triangular number, 703, fits perfectly inside the triangle formed by 2,701 and divides that larger triangle into 4 equilateral triangles. Coincidence still?  Why does 37 and 73 repeat over and over again?

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
John 1:1

As alluded to above, Genesis 1:1 has a purposeful New Testament counterpart, John 1:1, and literally 20 posts or more could be written on that passage as well. For example, space and time forbid us to see that both verses have the numeric value of pi embedded in them, but alas...

Like Hebrews, Greeks also used their letters as numbers.  The value of the letters in John 1:1 equals 3,627. At first glance it seems there is not much there (though there is).  For sake of space, the two verses are complementary.  If you add the value of Genesis 1:1 to John 1:1, the sum is 6,328.  6,328 just happens to be a special number--A TRIANGULAR NUMBER.  It is the 112th triangular.  That means if we stack up 6,328 cans of beans on our endcap it would have 112 on the bottom.

112?  The total 112 just by random chance (yeah right!), is the  value of the names YHWH (26) + Elohim (86), or the LORD GOD.  Who is the foundation of all there is? God the LORD.  It is more than evident that the Holy Spirit wrote these two verses to make these patterns happen.  The only other option is that you must believe that a princely sheepherder and a fisherman working hundreds of years apart in two different languages randomly made these and the many other similar patterns in the two verses to appear. Of course, the overall work of the Holy Spirit is to make us see the only means of Salvation, Jesus.  He even "autographed" the verses to make sure you don't miss out on the only means of salvation--Christ's cross. Turn to Jesus today as He is truly Soon2Come.
