1-22-2020 – A Word to the Wise – Genesis one reveals that the Lord’s plans for the universe is founded on the seven day week. The number seven seems to be important throughout scripture. While the Genesis passage is the beginning point of the universe. Romans 12:4-7 sets out that all mankind in the universe receives one of seven gifts. These gifts each have a list of several traits that may be evidenced in the human race.
But another set of sevens like Genesis one is to be discovered in the first book of the New Testament. What is important about Matthew 1: 1-16 is the impossibility for a person to accomplish in written form what the gospel writer accomplishes.
I was first introduced to this passages several years ago by RVL in one of his seminars. Doing what he suggested by taking the original Greek text of this passages and back translating it into the Hebrew text in which it was originally composed allows one to behold nothing short of a miracle.
If you look at Matthew’s genealogy and translate from the Greek back into the Hebrew look what happens:
1. Number of words in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
2. Number of letters in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
3. Number of words beginning with vowels in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
4. Number of words beginning with consonants in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
5. Number of words used more than once in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
6. Number of words used only once in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
7. Number of nouns in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
8. Number of non-nouns in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
9. Number of proper names in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
10. Number of each name beginning with the letter of the alphabet in the genealogy is divisible by seven.
11. Add up all of the values of the numbers if assigned a number divisible by seven.
Just a little something for those who crave support for the inspiration of the scriptures.
