THE INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES SCIENTIFICALLY DEMONSTRATED

[Waggles]

by Ivan Nikolayevich Panin (1855–1942)

Who was a Russian emigrant to the United States, and who achieved fame for the discovery of math numerical patterns in the text of the Hebrew and Greek Bible and for his publications about this.
Panin's conversion occurred in 1890 when his attention was caught by the first chapter of John, in which the article ("the") is used before "God" in one instance, and left out in the next:
"and the Word was with the God, and the Word was God."
He began to examine the text to see if there was an underlying pattern contributing to this peculiarity.
Making parallel lists of verses with and without the article, he decided that there was a system of mathematical relationships underlying the text.
This led to his conversion to Christianity, as attested to by his publication in 1891 of “The Structure of the Bible: A Proof of the Verbal Inspiration of Scripture.”

Letter to the New York Sun newspaper – 21st November 1899 - [abridged for TJ]

For some months preceding Sunday, November 19, 1899 the New York Sun had been devoting the better part of a page of its Sunday edition to the discussion of the truth of Christianity.
On that date it printed a letter from one W.R.L., in which he denounced Christianity, using the old oft-refuted "arguments," and challenged "some champion of orthodoxy to come into the arena of the Sun,"
and give its readers some "facts" in defence of the Christian religion.
The writer [Ivan Panin] had not seen the N.Y. Sun for years; but on his way from South Framingham to Grafton, Massachusetts, a copy of the Sun of that date, left on a vacant seat in the train, 'fell into his hands.'
The following letter met that challenge.
The letter was reprinted by the writer himself in a pamphlet of some fifty pages with the Greek text of Matthew 1, 1-17 and the vocabularies thereto, enabling the scholarly reader to verify his statements for himself.

The first 17 verses of the New Testament contain the genealogy of the Christ. It consists of two main parts: Verses 1-11 cover the period from Abraham, the father of the chosen people, to the Captivity, when they ceased as an
independent people.
Verses 12-17 cover the period from the Captivity to the promised Deliverer, the Christ.
Let us examine the first part of this genealogy.
Its vocabulary has 49 words, or 7×7. This number is itself seven (Feature 1)
sevens (Feature 2), and the sum of its factors is 2 sevens (Feature 3).
Of these 49 words 28, or 4 sevens, begin with a vowel; and 21, or 3 sevens, begin with a consonant (Feature 4).

Again: these 49 words of the vocabulary have 266 letters, or 7×2×19; this number is itself 38 sevens (Feature 5), and the sum of its factors is 28, or 4 sevens (Feature 6),
while the sum of its figures is 14, or 2 sevens (Feature 7).
Of these 266 letters, moreover, 140, or 20 sevens, are vowels, and 126, or 18 sevens, are consonants (Feature 8).
That is to say: Just as the number of words in the vocabulary is a multiple of seven, so is the number of its letters a multiple of seven; just as the sum of the factors of the number of the words is a multiple of seven,
so is the sum of the factors of the number of their letters a multiple of seven.
And just as the number of words is divided between vowel words and consonant words by sevens, so is their number of letters divided between vowels and consonants by sevens.

 

[Waggles]

Again: Of these 49 words 35, or 5 sevens, occur more than once in the passage: and 14, or 2 sevens, occur but once (Feature 9); seven occur in more than one form, and 42, or 6 sevens, occur in only one form (Feature 10).
And among the parts of speech the 49 words are thus divided: 42, or 6 sevens, are nouns, 7 are not nouns (Feature 11).
Of the nouns, 35, or 5 sevens, are Proper names, seven are common nouns (Feature 12). Of the Proper names 28 are male ancestors of the Christ, and seven are not (Feature 13).
Moreover, these 49 words are distributed alphabetically thus. Words under ‘alpha – epsilon’ are 21 in number, or 3 sevens; ‘stigma – iota’ 14, or 2 sevens; ‘lambda – upsilon’ also 14.
No other groups of sevens stopping at the end of a letter are made by these 49 words, the groups of sevens stop with these letters and no others.
But the letters, alpha, epsilon, stigma, iota, lambda, upsilon, are letters 1, 5, 6, 10, 12, 22 of the Greek alphabet, and the sum of these number (called their Place Values) is 56, or 8 sevens (Feature 14).
This enumeration of the numeric phenomena of these 11 verses does not begin to be exhaustive, but enough has been shown to make it clear that this part of the genealogy is constructed on an elaborate design of sevens.

Sounds like the D'vinci code.
I dont put a lot of stock in numbers.
Some indeed may have meaning,and i am not trying to ugly,just stating my personal opinion. But i can take every "whatever" number,say every 5th word of every chapter of the bible,multiply it by 12 and devide that 9 and maybe come up with Judas being a horse.
If i misinterpreted your post i most humbly apologize.

Let us not turn to the genealogy as a whole. I will not weary your readers with recounting all the numeric phenomena thereof: pages alone would exhaust them.
I will point out only one feature: The New Testament is written in Greek.
The Greeks had no separate symbols for expressing numbers, corresponding to our Arabic figures, but used instead the letters of their alphabet: just as the Hebrews, in whose language the Old Testament is written,
made use for the same purpose of theirs.

 

[Waggles]

Every Greek word is thus a sum in arithmetic obtained by adding the numbers for which its letters stand, or their numeric values.
Now the vocabulary to the entire genealogy has 72 words. If we write its numeric value over each of these 72 words, and add them, we get for their sum 42,364, or 6,052 sevens,
distributed into the following alphabetical groups only: alpha–beta have 9,821 or 1,403 sevens; gamma–delta, 1,904 or 272 sevens; epsilon–stigma, 3,703 or 529 sevens; theta–rho, 19,264 or 2,752 sevens;
sigma–chi, 7,672 or 1,096 sevens.
But the numeric value of the 10 letters used for making these groups is 931 or 7×7 x 19, a multiple not only of seven but of seven sevens. [931 divided by 49 = 19]
