Thanks to the sterling work of characters like fundamentalist preacher Brandon Peterson and renegade philosopher Nick Land, the notion that the King James Version Bible is written by some extra-terrestrial intelligence is coming into vogue.
For centuries, the Christians have had to play second fiddle to the Jews and the Greeks when it came to claiming divine intervention in their principal literary work – The Bible. All of us who are vaguely in the mystical scene know well that the Torah (first 5 chapters of the Old Testament) and the Greek New Testament are riddled with bizarre numerical correspondences that indicate, for all but the most skeptical among us, the presence of divine guidance.
For example, the letters in the opening passage of Genesis in Hebrew famously sum to the number 2701. Numerous writers in the recent era, from Ivan Panin to Vernon Jenkins, have created literally reams of insights as to the mathematical significance and wider implications of what is going on with this number in this context. Meanwhile, back in the Victorian era, Thomas Simcox Lee and Frederick Bligh-Bond wrote of similar discoveries, in the Greek New Testament, in their book Materials for the Study of the Apostolic Gnosis.
But the Bible, in good old English? It has long been dismissed as a mere translation, done entirely by human hands and thus of little interest to the true mystic.
But no more! We are starting to dig into the text of the KJV 1769 edition, the classic Oxford‑standardized KJV, and find all sorts of exciting things. These days, you can even download an app to help you pursue this quest.
However, a problem arises in this travail; one that affects especially the more Christian-minded researcher… isn’t gematria and mystical numerology the work of the Devil? Indeed, to many traditional Christians, it is just that.
Brandon Peterson, clearly not wishing to find his followers one day pointing the finger at him, has restricted his researches to examining only the numbers of instances of certain words and their verse numbers in the 1769 KJV, all 31,102 verses of it. But, even so restrained, he has had incredible results. Yes, to my mind, he does take a few liberties here and there but I still find his work stunning.
I am quite a newcomer to KJV numerology but, not being aligned with any religion, I feel free to utilise traditional numerology techniques unrestrained.
The correspondences found in the Torah and the Greek New Testament revolve around the standard mechanism for converting Hebrew and Greek letters into numbers. But which means of performing the same conversion for EN should I pick to investigate the KJV?
I think the first thing is to set down the purposes that, say, an extra-dimensional intelligence would have in littering any text with indicators as to its presence.
Firstly, I think there can be a tagging thing going on – a “Kilroy was here” kinda thing, pretty much the same as the tags that graffiti artists use to show their authorship.
Secondly, the numerical correspondences are sometimes used to indicate equivalences between words, ones that are often elucidated by further introspection upon them. For example, in Hebrew AChaD, meaning One, gives 13, as does AHeBaH, meaning Love.
Thirdly, the words and numbers chosen are often geometric numbers, that’s to say those numbers which can be arranged into regular geometric shapes such as triangles, squares or hexagons. These numbers also serves as tags and are no doubt popular because geometry is evident to us in a manner which words and numbers aren’t.
Finally, and a little more speculatively, spending lengths of your time introspecting on number patterns may cause actual physical changes inside of you, allowing your body to perhaps process light differently or develop extra-sensory powers. This is indeed a popular concept in some schools of Western Qabalah.
So, where to start? No place like the beginning. In KJV, that means Genesis 1:1. Let’s take a look:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
I took this line and inputted it into an online numerology searcher, telling it to output results in all cyphers
And what do we see there for Reverse Ordinal, one of the most basic of EN cyphers? 777 – literally the number most associated with perfection in the whole Christian religion! In fact, all of the numbers in the series 111 to 999 have high mystical significance as they are used to represent rungs of the ladder of ascension between different earthly and mystical states. Because of this, the number 37 has high significance too, being the highest prime factor of all the numbers in the sequence.
So that was an indicator to me to start by examining the KJV with this Reverse Ordinal cypher (RO). Let’s take a quick look at it.
It’s pretty simple, huh? z=1, y=2 and so on until you get to a=26.
So that was an intriguing start. Now, how else might our extra-dimensional agent go about adding more hints that the KJV translation was their work, albeit done through human hands? I decided to search for other instances of the number 777 in the KJV using the EO cypher. I got Notepad++ to run through all 30k plus verses, placing a numeral value, attained by EO, at the end of the line in square brackets. For sure, there must be more 777s in such a long text, I figured.There were. It came up with 15 in total:
Line 1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.: [777]
Line 660: Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.: [777]
Line 2701: The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,: [777]
Line 8339: But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.: [777]
Line 14075: The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.: [777]
Line 15038: Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.: [777]
Line 15125: And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.: [777]
Line 15628: He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:: [777]
Line 16332: They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;: [777]
Line 16355: He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.: [777]
Line 16585: In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:: [777]
Line 16769: Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.: [777]
Line 17189: As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.: [777]
Line 22787: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.: [777]
Line 23929: Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.: [777]
Line 29727: But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.: [777]
What jumped out at me straight away were the line numbers of the first two instances after Genesis 1:1. They are 660 and 2701. 2701 is of course the central number slobbered over by retired maths professors who become obsessed by Bible numerology (you’d be surprised how many of them there are!).
2701 is a triangular number that also neatly contains three other triangles – 3 of 666 and 1 of 703, see below.
666 is the thirty-sixth triangular number and 703 is the thirty-seventh (that number again). In addition, 2701 is 37 x 73 (yes, and again). That Apostolic Gnosis book referred to above actually contained some 500 examples of divine names of Christ, from the Greek New Testament, that were multiples of 37.
Okay, so 2701 is a big deal. But what about 660? What’s exciting about that? Surely it would be much cooler if it were 666 instead? But it isn’t. Well, something distinctly cool about the number 660 is that it’s also the Reverse Ordinal value of the final line of the Bible – Revelation 22:21.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.: [660]
Okay, nice. So we have the first three instances of the number 777, in the RO analysis of the KJV Bible, all hooked up to the first and last lines of that same work.
As a final note, I will just throw in that 777 has prime factors 3, 7 and 37. Yup, we’re not escaping that number anytime soon in our supposedly non-mystical KJV.
This article is of course just a few steps into the terrain of the mystical KJV and I’m putting them out such that others might feel intrigued to keep digging. The truth, as they say, is out there.
