1,495

The total value of the Hebrew Alphabet is, 1,495; and a remarkable fact is bound up in this number.

To establish the years of the duration of the lav/ of Moses, it is necessary to consider carefully, Paul's statement in Galatians 3:17. He says, in effect, that the "covenant" was "confirmed" and that the "law" came, 430 years after that event.

If we can determine the date on which this covenant was confirmed, we would then know the date given as the commencement of the law.

Most chronologers give this date as A.M. 2083 which corresponds with Abram's 75th year and Genesis 12, where God made certain promises to him. However, these"promises" which were part of the "covenant" were not confirmed until Genesis 17, when Abram was nearly 100 years old. Not until the 17th chapter is Abram called Abraham and the covenant confirmed, and it is to this date that we must add the 430 years in order to establish the date of the commencement of the "law." The date is A.M. 2107, add to it the 430 years and we find that the date in which the law became operative was A.M. 2537. We know that the law terminated with the rending of the Vail of the Temple and this happened in the A.M. year, 4032. The duration of the law then, was exactly 1495 years—the EXACT value of the Hebrew Alphabet.

God revealed Himself to man in the Hebrew language, but only to Hebrews or Hebrew proselytes, until the time of Jesus. Near to the time determined for the law to terminate, Jesus, the light of the Gentiles was born and another language was chosen, that God may be revealed to those Gentiles. The new language was the Greek and the very first chapter of this new revelation begins with the account of the birth of Jesus. This momentous occasion took place in the A.M. year, 3999. The total value of the letters of this new language of revelation is EXACTLY 3999.

The mass of numerical evidence already presented has completely eliminated chance,or co-incidence and if these things are not emplanted in the scriptures by chance or co-incidence, they must have been placed there by DESIGN and if a design, then

we must needs have a designer. The only one capable of such tremendous knowledge is that Mighty Mathematician—The Lord God. We now conclude with a very profound statement from Dr. Ivan Panin.

"No mortal in 100 years could possibly have carried out the design found in a single book of the Bible if he devoted the entire 100 years to the task. It must be remembered that with each additional sentence the difficulty greatly increases, and owing to the limitations of human intellect, soon becomes hopeless."

Many capable scholars have set out to accomplish a similar pattern in secular writings and each in turn has failed. In contrast there is not a single chapter of the Bible that is not locked together with this pattern of seven. This interlocking from Genesis to Revelation is super oroof that God alone is the author and every word can be relied upon with complete confidence. This fact is born out in the following quotations: 2 Timothy 3:16, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect3 throughly furnished unto all good works."

2 Peter 1:21, ''For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.' Romans 11:33-36, "0 the depth of the riohes both of the wisdom and knowledge of God', how unsearchable are his judgments^ and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who have been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and to him, ai>e all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Please note: It must be kept in mind that Bible numerology only applies to the original text of both Greek and Hebrew.
