#888 = Number of Jesus name - both JESUS & YHVH

I've posted a series of tweets (www.twitter.com/amazingword) that show how #888 calculates to be the number of Jesus name for both the spelling JESUS and YHWH. The Bible Wheel website documents this well (http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/gr_888.asp). The Bible's amazing God inspired numbering seems to line up perfectly to verify both the symbolism of #888 and the supernatural DNA like Bible numbering.

I've just copied my tweets below which contain the evidences...

#888 = name of JESUS & YHVH - The 10,888th #bible verse; 1Chr 17:24 "Let Your name be established and magnified forever...The LORD of hosts"

#888 = JESUS & YHVH - 30,888th verse - Rev 11:15 loud voices in heaven "The kingdom of the world..the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ"

#888 = name of JESUS & YHVH - The 28,888th #bible verse = 2Cor 5:10 we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ

#888 = name of JESUS & YHVH - The 29,888th #bible verse (KJV & similarly numbered) 2Tim 4:17 ..the Lord stood with me and strengthened me

#888 = name of JESUS & YHVH - The 888th #bible chapter; Amos 9, v1 says "I saw the Lord standing beside the altar.."

#888=JESUS&YHVH - 26,888th ver/88th NT chap John 20:20 He showed His hands/His side-they rejoiced when they saw the Lord


There is a supernatural numbering of all the Bible's books, chapters, verses that even includes all cross Bible sequence numbers in virtually every way I find them. I call it the DNA of God's Word. Praise Jesus.

Bible's Symbolism #23 = God With Us; "where 2 or 3 are gathered, I am in their midst"

Theme for 23 - "God is with Us" - For example:
in Matthew 18:20 it declares "where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

Number 23 is broadly about things being together, but it is very often related to scripture telling us God is with us. The evidence for the theme for 23 is one of the strongest number evidences seen.

The best evidence is the 23,000th verse of the Bible telling us in the last days people will seek out the Jews because God is with them.
Incredibally, every 1000th verse of the Bible has very special meaning associated with the number. The 23,000th verse helps us understand the symbolic meaning for number 23. We confirm our understanding of the 1000 verse symbolism through a preponderance of other numeric evidences that also confirm the same meaning.
  • Zechariah 8:23 "...ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." 

 

Other scriptual evidences that reveal this God with you theme for #23 are;

    • The 23rdPsalm -- the Lord is our shepherd - v4 I fear no evil, for You are with me;..;  
    • Matthew 1:23 ...THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."; 

See any bible passages that have the numbers 2 and 3 in the text. Also watch any verses with chapter or verse numbering of 23 - especially verses with both chapter and verse 23 (23:23). Verses about two or three people such as "where two or three believers are", God is in the midst -
      • Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."
      • Ecc 4:12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three is not quickly torn apart.
      • Matt 20:30 ("23") And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!" (ref 20:30=23, and the 23823rd Bible verse) (Two blind men with Jesus in their midst)
      • 2Kin 9:32 Then he lifted up his face to the window and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" And two or three officials looked down at him. (Interesting this is the 322nd chapter and is verse 32. In Gematria the orders of numbers is not important)
      • Amo 4:8 "So two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink water, But would not be satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD. 

 

Verses with like chapter and verse (23:23) 

      • Exodus 23:23 "For My angel will go before you..." and 
      • Jerimiah 23:23 "Am I a God who is near," declares the LORD, "And not a God far off?"
      • Acts 23:23 ..."...Get two hundred soldiers ready by the third hour of the night
      • 1Sam 23:23 ..learn about all the hiding places where he hides himself and return to me with certainty, and I will go with you;

 

For those who like the even more curious examples look at

      • The 23233rd Bible verse: Matt 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom
      • Malachi 3:2 which is the 23123rd verse and the 33rd verse (two threes) of Malachi, and whose text speaks directly of Jesus return "But who can endure the day of His coming?". 
      • 23 and "NOT with JESUS"? Mrk 14:30 And Jesus *said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."  (see also Mark 14:72, 14:30)
      • Speaking in tongues (God with them?) - 1Cor 14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;
      • 2Cor 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.
      • Luke 11:23 "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters. (notice this verse #23 speaks of Jesus and two others)
      • Matt 4:22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him. -- (Interesting this is the 23232nd Bible verse in the 933rd chapter [33=2 3s]).
When you run across the number 23 in scripture be watching for this important theme. Also consider this theme for the number 32 which is directly related to 23.

EVIDENCE #1: Bible Discovery will challenge your mind--Psalms 117

What do you think about coincidences? Here's some evidence for the supernatural God authorship of the Bible. Curiously, I rarely get an answer to this question...it is usually avoided because it puzzles people. They can't believe it is coincidence but they also can't believe what it implys if it is not coincidence...

Psalms 117 is the shortest and only two verse chapter in the Bible. It is also the 595th and exact middle chapter of the Bible.

Do you believe this is coincidence?


Psalms 117...
v1 Praise the LORD, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples!
v2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!


How did this very special two verse chapter find itself to the very special centerpoint position of all Bible chapters? If you think this is coincidence, are you sure? If no, then the only other answer is that God supernaturally placed it at this location. If you are like most others, this is a real brain twister because it presents evidence for what we believe is not possible.

One of thousands of pieces of evidence for supernatural inspiration and perfection/inerrancy of God's Word--The Bible

Imagine-if this is not coincidence:

  • God really did write the Bible- precisely, not a general inspiration

  • **The Bible has all the correct books and chapters and seemingly in the right order.

  • The Old and New Testaments are two parts of one inseparable volume. Otherwise this verse will not be found in the middle position.

** Using the King James Bible and like structured decendent Bibles -- having 31,102 verses, 66 books, and 1189 chapters.

NOT Amazing but wrong - Beware "The Center of the Bible"

Many have probably seen the web mails going around that present apparently incredible evidence that God wrote the bible using the center chapter of the bible as proof. It goes like this:

The Center of the Bible

  1. Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire bible.

  2. Psalm 117, right before Psalm 118, is the shortest chapter in the bible.

  3. Psalm 119, right after Psalm 118, is the longest chapter in the bible.

  4. The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118.

  5. If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters. ( Psalm 118, 1188 chapters...see the resemblence?)

  6. Plus, if you split the number 1188 into 118 and 8, you get 118:8. Well, it just so happens that Psalm 118:8 is the very middle verse of the entire bible.

  7. Also, Shouldn't the middle verse of the whole bible bring the whole bible into the main theme? Well, it does.
    It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. [Psalm 118:8]

Is this central verse not also the central theme of the entire Bible?


The center chapter of the bible is actually Psalms 117 and it truly is very interesting that it is the shortest chapter in the bible. I actually believe there is something very special about this location and that it does help demonstrate that only God could have authored the bible. But the facts above are incorrect and God's word is perfect. We need to get this right.

I suspect the author of this miscounted or was using an unpopular translation of scripture that was at least a little off. So pass on to your friends that this email is well intended but incorrect. At the same time we can find some amazing things using Psalms 117 and 118 as example chapters.

Psalms 117 (the 195th chapter of the bible)
The mere fact that the middle chapter of the bible is also the shortest chapter is quite interesting. The two verses in Psalms 117 can be seen as a very basic message to all people. This is special!

v1 Praise the LORD, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples!
v2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!


Psalms 118:8
It is also interesting and no coincidence that the 8th verse of Psalms 118 seems to be a theme verse. I do believe it is the theme verse for the chapter.

Psa 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man.


Some other real Evidence for God's authorship of the bible - chap 11 ver 8
There is a numeric pattern to how God structured his word. Every book, chapter and verse number in the bible is inspired by God and these numbers all have a pattern of meanings associated with them. Since like numbered verses have like numbered meanings, we can take any set of like referenced verses and discern a common theme from them. This is more than an interesting exercise. By understanding how to use the number patterns we have an additional tool to help us understand difficult to discern scripture. When you don't understand a verse it can sometimes be helpful to check out other like referenced verses to see if a common theme for verses might help lead you to understand the one you are examining.

Following are 14 of 33 verses in the bible having the same reference of chapter 11 verse 8. These are the 14 verses in the set of 33 having a negative slant to them. Each number in the bible has both a positive and negative theme. The 19 verses I have excluded from this list have a similar theme but stated in a positive way.

Note how the below 14 verses all show some confusion of mind. Some given by God and some on the part of the people. It is no coincidence there 14 verses having this overlapping theme. God's word is perfect and we can always find the number pattern that is in every part of his amazing word.

Like referenced 11:8 verses from the bible...
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.

Lev 11:8 'You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.

Josh 11:8 The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, so that they defeated them, and pursued them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim and the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they struck them until no survivor was left to them.

1Kin 11:8 Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

Isa 11:8 The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.

Job 11:8 "{They are} high as the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol, what can you know?

Prov 11:8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place.

Ecc 11:8 Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come {will be} futility.

Jer 11:8 'Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked, each one, in the stubbornness of his evil heart; therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded {them} to do, but they did not.' "

Hos 11:8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.

Zech 11:8 Then I annihilated the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was weary of me.

Rom 11:8 just as it is written, "GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."

Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies {will lie} in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.


Praise God for the perfection of his word. Leave a comment praising God if you see the common theme across these verses. Note, the verses don't have the same meaning, they simply have some part of them that contains the common theme.

Proof of the Trinity in the Bible

Where's the Trinity mentioned in the bible?

Scholars can't find a direct reference to the trinity in the bible...I think I've found one...


Some give verses such as the following ones as evidence for the trinity in the bible but these are not generally accepted as proof of the trinity because they refer to three different things and not necessarily as a single God with three aspects to him.

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit [Matthew 28:19].

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all [2 Corinthians 13:14].

To God’s elect. . .who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood [1 Peter 1:1-2].

Proof of the Trinity in the Book of John?

Following are the ten "I am" declarations Jesus made about himself in the book of John. These well known passages are very direct statements about who he is. Jesus is telling us he is all of these things:
  • #1 John 6:35 "I am the bread of life..."
  • #2 John 6:41 "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."
  • #3 John 6:51 "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven"
  • #4 John 8:12 "I am the Light of the world...
  • #5 John 8:18 "I am He who testifies about Myself"
  • #6 John 10:7 "I am the door of the sheep."
  • #7 John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd..."
  • #8 John 11:25 "I am the resurrection and the life...
  • #9 John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, the life...
  • #10 John 15:1 "I am the true vine..."

This list of ten things follows a common pattern God has placed in scripture that repeatedly tells us his plan of salvation. I'll discuss this more on other posts on this blog. These are not casual statements by Jesus but he's telling us exactly who he is. For this blog post let's concentrate on the first three items.

The first three statements Jesus makes of himself all indicate that he is bread and specifically the Bread of Life. But he also said he is the Bread that came down out of heaven and that he's also the Living Bread that came down out of heaven. Why did he make these three seemingly repetitive statements about himself? I believe he's telling us about the Trinity. He's directly stating he is all three parts of the trinity.


BREAD OF LIFE - GOD

It all starts with God who is telling us he's the source of all life. Bread is the common statement made about each part of the trinity and that Bread can be thought of as God the Father.

THE BREAD THAT CAME DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN - Jesus

Jesus came to earth to teach us who he is and to give himself as sacrifice for our sins. Thus he is the part of God (Bread) that came down out of heaven to visit us.

THE LIVING BREAD THAT CAME DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN - Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the aspect of God that comes down and lives inside us once we receive Christ as our savior and redeemer. Thus he is the "Living Bread" who comes down to us and lives inside us each day.

CONCLUSION

These statements indicate that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one. For those that believe the bible is the word of God, this statement should be enough evidence for them about the trinity. If this statement is not enough evidence then you need to go back and work on an even bigger question you have...is the bible the actual word of God and do I believe it?

Until next time...
