Bible secrets preachers will never teach

Oh! what a tangled web we weave

When first we practice to deceive!

< W.S. >

JESUS IS 666!

< B.D. >

If you think W.S. is William Shakespeare, think again! If you think B.D. is bluffing, you may be surprised by what knowledge scribes had in order to write scripture. This blog is an endeavor to enlighten curious seekers with revelations that most theologians are unaware.

Everyone is familiar with books of numbered chapters and verses. What is obscured by the babble of translations is the structure of the Greek text where an immense wealth of information is hidden. Anyone can test this hypothesis with a few simple steps.

Verifying the validity of word order, we shall test two books to demonstrate the knowledge the authors had to write scripture. Our tools are one website and two programs (Word and Excel).

1. Go to greekbible.com and copy the first chapter of Luke.

2. Paste Special, Unformatted Text into Word. Find and Replace the word space with the paragraph mark to generate a vertical text of 1186 words.

3. Copy the Word text and Paste Special, Unicode Text into Excel.

Despite anomalies of style, this version of the Greek text places the word meaning "babe" as the 666th word of the book. Our working text is a privately published 1934 Numeric Greek New Testament and it places "Elizabeth" as the 666th word of the book. Notice that both identify a human being in the story.

Repeating these steps for Matthew of the first chapter and 13 verses of the second, the results are "Joseph" and "LORD." Which version is most likely to be "numerically" correct?

Also observe the thirteens of Revelation 13:18 and Matthew 2:13. In the last book, the revelation of The Beast as a man whose number is calculated to be 666, is identified in the first book. A handful of thirteens is evident in a book of 66 books: 39 Hebrew, 26 Greek, and all summed up with "the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Again, which has more veracity: John and Joseph, or the mother of the proclaimer and the one proclaimed?
