The Revelation of God

Even if you already believe numbers in the Bible have spiritual meanings, we encourage you to read this section carefully. We start by broadening our minds as to the ways God communicates truth to man. As we prove below, Scripture itself attests there are other witnesses of God than Scripture.

It is a good thing, because prior to Moses there was no Scripture at all. After Moses the distribution of Scripture was limited to very few people. It was only 1,450 years after Christ before the Bible was printed for the masses. The Bible is still being translated into the tongues of ethnic groups. God has never been limited by the distribution of Scripture to get His message out. All things, including Scripture, which are witnesses of God are the direct result of His design and have come into being by the power of His might.

The witnesses outside of Scripture

1. Creation

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. — Romans 1:19

2. The stars

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they pour forth knowledge. — Psalm 19:1-2

3. Time

A farmer looks at a seed of wheat in his hand. He knows exactly how that seed will grow, what the plant will look like, and when it will bear fruit for harvest. God is the farmer and the seed in his hand are the words he has spoken from eternity. Time is merely the unfolding of God's prophetic word.

4. Conscience

For when the Gentiles, who do not have the [Mosaic] law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness. — Romans 2:14-15

Our God-given conscience tells us: (1) there is right and wrong, (2) wrong is sin against our Creator, and (3) sin merits punishment. Conscience is the one witness of God that travels everywhere there is a human being. We have given this witness a dedicated study page: the doctrine of conscience across Scripture, the number grid, and every PDF in the library .

5. Miracles, judgments, mercies, personal revelation, and the great pyramid

Each of these is a witness of God in its own right. The full introduction is preserved on this site — the short version is that God has many ways of speaking, and Scripture itself names them.

Numbers as a witness

Do you believe in numbers? Are you sure? You can't see them. Yet, most of us assume numbers exist. We have used numbers all our lives to tell the time, to pay our bills, to measure our height, to make phone calls. Yet, numbers are spiritual in their very nature: they exist but you can't see them. Numbers are also perfect — what they say is exactly what they mean. There is no deviation or decay in the meaning of a number over time. Numbers are everlasting, from age to age the same.

God is spiritual. He exists, but you can't see Him. God is perfect. There is no fault or imperfection in Him. God is everlasting. He always has been and always will be. How appropriate would it be for God to use something spiritual, perfect, and everlasting, like numbers, to describe for us other things that are spiritual, perfect, and everlasting. We believe that is precisely what God does.

Hidden manah

To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. — Revelation 2:17

The Hebrew word for the manna of Exodus 16 is composed of two letters: Mem and Nun. The next word in the lexicon, "Manah", adds the letter He — and means "count" or "number". The two words sound almost the same, and we believe the hidden manna is exactly what the Greek text suggests: number meanings — spiritual food for the over-comer in Christ.

When we see the wonderful meanings of the numbers of God, the sublime patterns, the way the numbers are consistently used through all Scripture, and the way the meanings build on each other to calculate the meanings of larger numbers, we recognize that only a mind with unlimited capacity and foresight, such as the mind of God, could have arranged these things for our benefit.
