Numbers In Scripture

These numbers and their meanings appear on the surface and also beneath the surface. This list of the numbers and their meanings have been tabled from F.C. Payne's text, The Seal of God.

They are as follows:

1. Unity or unit.

2. Separation or witness.

3. Divine perfection or Godhead.

4. Creative work or the world.

5. Grace (free gift of God).

6. Man (under sin).

7. God's seal, often called the perfect number.

8. Resurrection or new beginning.

9. Finality.

Greek Numbers

The system of counting with letters dates back to the second century BC. This system of counting was adopted as early as the third century BC.

The Greek alphabet and their numeric values:
α alpha 1, β beta 2, γ gamma 3, δ delta 4, ε epsilon 5, ζ zeta 7, η eta 8, θ theta 9,
ι iota 10, κ kappa 20, λ lambda 30, μ mi 40, ν ni 50, ξ ksi 60, ο omicron 70, π pi 80,
ρ rho 100, σ ς sigma 200, τ tau 300, υ ipsilon 400, φ fi 500, χ chi 600, Ψ psi 700,
ω omega 800

ϝʹ or ϛʹ or στʹ vau 6,

ϟʹ koph 90, &

ϡʹ sampi 900

These three ancient Greek (Phoenician) letters with the values 6, 90 and 900 are not

used in the New Testament and have become obsolete. 

The Seal of Seven

In this extract from The Seal of God in Creation F.C. Payne explains the significance of the number seven and its relationship to scripture.

It has long been known, and appreciated, by those who have studied the

Word, how the number seven has been used to convey a certain and specific

conclusion. It usually denotes God's fullness of purpose, or completion of a

specific period.

The leper was told to wash seven times in the Jordan. If he had stopped at six

he would not have been healed.

The children of Israel were commanded to march around Jericho seven times

on the seventh day, (no doubt with the inhabitants laughing at them), but at

the seventh time the trumpet sounded, the earth shook, and they laughed no

more.

There is NOTHING magical in the number itself. It is only the 'mark' of God's

Hand in the particular incident. His Signature, and we find it throughout the

Scriptures, this seal of seven.

The Bible itself is in seven distinct divisions. Just look at the last book,

Revelation, which is God's Book of climaxes, judgements, and

consummations.

This is what we find.

Seven Churches.

Seven Spirits of God.

Seven candle sticks.

Seven stars.

Seven seals.

Seven angels.

Seven trumpets.

Seven thunders.

Forty two months, six sevens.

Three and a half days with two witnesses.

Seven thousand men killed by earthquake.

Seven heads.

Seven crowns.

Seven plagues.

Seven mountains.

Seven kings.

A Beast with seven heads.

This is just an example of sevens on the surface, all in Revelation.

Here also in Revelation is a somewhat hidden example of sevens, that is, one

could pass over them many times and perhaps not notice seven connected

with them.

Revelation 5:12. Seven attributes of Christ.

Revelation 7:12. Sevenfold greeting to God by angels.

Revelation 5:14. Four beasts and four and twenty elders worship God.

The term 'blessed' is used exactly seven times, so also is the 'Book of Life'.

There are, in fact, over fifty occurrences of seven in Revelation alone.

Other patterns are present also, but the seal of seven is the most prominent in

these intricate patterns, and more easily discerned than those, many other,

designs.

Ivan Panin, who devoted much of his life to investigating and publishing these

things, publicly invited the finest brains, by means of a challenge through the

press, to prove that his facts were not facts, and gave three examples of these

numerics.

No one was able to refute those facts.

Eight, resurrection and a new beginning

Eight is the number which signifies new beginning. For example, there are seven whole notes in music, the eighth note is the octave. Seven days in a week, the eighth day being the first day of the new week. 

 
The Greek translation for Jesus is ιησους, its numeric value is:  
                       ι  10, η 8, σ 200, ο 70, υ 400, ς 200
                       10 + 8 + 200 + 70 + 400 + 200 = 888 or 37 x 3 x 8

The Greek words or translation for Christ χριστος,  its numeric value is:
                          χ 600, ρ 100, ι 10, σ 200, τ 300, ο 70, ς 200
                          600 + 100 + 10 + 200 + 300 + 70 + 200 = 1480 = 37 x 5 x 8 


The Greek translation for savior is σωτήρ, also a multiple of eight. Its numeric value is :        σ 200, ω 800, τ 300, ή 8, ρ 100
                     200 + 800 + 300 + 8 + 100 = 1408 or 176 x 8

 The Greek translation for resurrection anastasei, its numeric value is:
                    a 1, n 50, a 1, s 200, t 300, a 1, s 200, e 5, i 10
                    1 + 50 + 1 + 200 + 300 + 1 + 200 + 5 + 10 = 768 or 96 x 8
There are two other translations of this word and their values are not multiples of eight, αναστησεται and αναστασις.

The Greek translation for Lord κυριος, its numeric value is:
                      κ 20,υ 400, ρ 100, ι 10, ο 70, ς 200
                      20 + 400 + 100 + 10 + 70 + 200 = 800 or 8 x 100 
And two translations of this word, their values not being multiples of eight, κυριον and κυριε.

The Word of God 37

Key truethes when expressed in scripture, carry a numeric value to the third place, for example: 888, 666, and  999.

The number 37 unifies the product when multiplied by 3. For example, 37 x 3 = 111,
37 x 6 = 222, 37 x 9 = 333, 37 x 18 = 666, 37 x 24 = 888, 37 x 21 = 777. Furthermore, 37 is the only number which unifies the product.

John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, λoγoς. Its numerical value is as follows:
                             λ 30, o 70, γ 3, o 70, ς 200.
                            30 + 70 + 3 + 70 + 200 = 373 

The Greek words for image of God, Colosians 1:15, is image εικων and God θεoυ. And its numeric value: ε 5, ι 10, κ 20, ω 800, ν 50, θ 9, ε 5, o 70, υ 400.
                      5 + 10 + 20 + 800 + 50 + 9 + 5 + 70 + 400 = 1369 or 37 x 37

The Greek word or translation for Jesus is ιησους, its numeric value is:  
                       ι  10, η 8, σ 200, ο 70, υ 400, ς 200
                       10 + 8 + 200 + 70 + 400 + 200 = 888 or 37 x 3 x 8 a multiple of 37, 3 and 8
                        

The Greek words or translation for Christ χριστος,  its numeric value is:
                          χ 600, ρ 100, ι 10, σ 200, τ 300, ο 70, ς 200
                          600 + 100 + 10 + 200 + 300 + 70 + 200 = 1480 = 37 x 5 x 8 

Genesis 1:1 Fact or Fallacy

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.





Genesis 1:1


 This Hebrew sentence contains 28 letters and 7 words. The sum value being 2701. 

2701 = 37 x 73 and 37 is a reflective number of 73. Both numbers are prime numbers. 37 is the 12th prime number and 73 is the 21st prime number. 12 is the reflective number of 21. Furthermore, 1072 is the reflective number of 2701 and 2701 + 1072 = 3773 = 11 x 343 And 343 is the value of the phrase “And God said” in Hebrew. 343 = 7 x 7 x 7. The number 3773 can also be partitioned 37)(73.

The Greek word for Word is logos, John 1:1. The value of this word, using the ancient Greek numeric system, is 373. And 373 is a prime palindrome, reading the same forward as it does backward. It is the 74^th prime number. The neighbour of 73, it can also be partitioned 37(3 and 3)73.


The Greek word for Jesus is Ihsous and the value of this word is 888. The Greek word for  Christ Cristos  is 1480.
888 = 24 x 37 The number 8 signifies a new beginning. There are 7 whole notes in music: the 8th note is the octave.
1480 = 40 x 37 and 1480 is also a multiple of 8.
8 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 4 + 8 + 0 = 37

     2701    = 3.14, p the mathematical constant used to measure circles  
(3+7) x 86               86 is the value for the Hebrew word God.

As mentioned previously this sentence contains 28 letters and 7 words. 28 is the triangular number of 7 as illustrated beneath.

Two Universal Constants derived from Scripture

p and e = number of letters x their product  / number of words x their product 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1



This sentence contains 28 Hebrew letters and 7 Hebrew words.

28 x 90 x 200 x 1 x 5 x 400 x 1 x 6 x 40 x 10 x 40 x 300 x 5 x 400 x 1 x 40 x 10 x 5 x 30 x 1 x 1 x 200 x 2 x 400 x 10 x 300 x 1 x 200 x 2 = 28 x 2.3887872 x 1034
7 x 913 x 203 x 86 x 401 x 395 x 407 x 296 = 7 x 3.04153525784175760 x 1017.

28 x 2.3887872 x 1034 / 7 x 3.04153525784175760 x 1017 
= 3.1416 x 1017 written in standard form format

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

This sentence contains 52 Greek letters and 17 Greek words

52 x 5 x 50 x 1 x 100 x 600 x 8 x 10 x 8 x 50 x 70 x 30 x 70 x 3 x 70 x 200 x 20 x 1 x 10 x 70 x 30 x 70 x 3 x 70 x 200 x 8 x 50 x 80 x 100 x 70 x 200 x 300 x 70 x 50 x 9 x 5 x 70 x 50 x 20 x 1 x 10 x 9 x 5 x 70 x 200 x 8 x 50 x 70 x 30 x 70 x 3 x 70 x 200 = 52 x 8.43625145625911083008 x 1075
17 x 55 x 719 x 58 x 70 x 373 x 31 x 70 x 373 x 58 x 450 x 420 x 134 x 31 x 284 x 58 x 70 x 373
= x 9.4930224139983918429785786976 x 1035

52 x 8.43625145625911083008 x 1075/ 17 x 9.4930224139983918429785786976 x 1035
= 2.718 x 1040 written in standard form format

Once stripped of all their surplus zeros:

3.141 is the same string of digits as the mathematical and scientific constant p
2.718 is the same string of digits as the mathematical and scientific constant e

What is the probability that these 2 universal constants, both derived from scripture, and both appearing by mere chance? If we add both of these biblical values and compare them with sum of both mathematical values: the absolute error is 1/1000 of 1%.
