Scripture for the Day Oct 18th 2020: Faith Builder, Proof of Intelligent Design
Devotional
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:”
When I became a Christian on Feb 19th 2011, my analytical mind craved proof that the bible was true. Back then, I didn't yet understand that Faith is based on the decision we make to apply the little faith we have to the entirety of God's word. Here is another faith builder, which comforts me every time I think about it.
Crypto in the Bible
The Bible contains many secrets. But did you know, it also contains supra-natural cryptology? Right from Genesis... and throughout the entire book.
Today, we will discover one of the simplest forms of cryptology- and one of the oldest - right here, in the Bible.
But is this proof of God's existence? We will look at the first five books of the Bible and decode a message hidden in plain sight.
Let's get started...
Tav | ת |
Vav | ו |
Resh | ר |
He | ה |
The first five books in the Bible were written by Moses. They are called the Pentateuch, or Torah. The correct Hebrew transliteration for the Torah is: TORH: תּוֹרָה - meaning: instruction, teaching.
There are four letters in Hebrew that spell the word Torah: ... see right table
Before we can crack our first amazing cipher, though, we want to understand a little about the method of encryption. I promise you, it's not boring or difficult at all.
Let's have a quick peek at:
It is a sequence of letters that form a cipher when counting the characters at an equal distance within that message. It is the embedding of a hidden message inside an open message.
Let's have a look:
It's a terrible way of hiding messages, because it is so easily deciphered. But it is a way to communicate a hidden message.
Here is an interesting fact:All languages flow toward Jerusalem.
All nations east of Jerusalem go from right to left (Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Sanskrit, Chinese, etc.)
All nations west of Jerusalem go from left to right. (English, Latin, Cyrillic, etc)
Decoding the Message
Please note: All pictures were taken from my Hebrew Readers Bible. However, any online Hebrew Bible that is true to original scripture will give the same results.Genesis
That's interesting! Could be by chance, no?
OK - let's see what happens when we do the same in Exodus:
Exodus
Again, every 49th letter, starting with the first Tav, spells TORH!
Another coincident? Whatever the mathematical probability was in Genesis, it just squared...
Alright then - how about Leviticus?
Leviticus
We apply the samemethodology and...
...nothing happens. It is almost a relief - and, well, a disappointment!
Maybe it was all wishfulthinking after all?
Well, let's have a look at Numbers:
Numbers
OK...
But what's this? That's odd! We get:
HROT = That's TORH backward!
Hmm...
And Deuteronomy?
Deuteronomy
We get HROT, TORH backward.
Genesis | ---> TORH |
Exodus | ---> TORH |
Leviticus | ---> ? |
Numbers | HROT |
Deuteronomy | HROT |
That leaves the question..
What about Leviticus?
Leviticus Revisited
Let's revisit and try something diffent...
If we try to the take the root of 49, which is 7, we get something different
Transl HebrewYod | י |
He | ה |
Vav | ו |
He | ה |
What does that mean?
It literally means:
The Torah always points to YHWH.
This is not a coincident. This is Proof of intelligent design.Implications
Let's consider the implications of that design:
If this cipher here was just one character off, if it was off just by an iota, it would fall apart. Much like if we type markdown formatting and forget an "*", (it happens all the time to me!) our formatting would be off throughout our entire article.
Moses received the commandments and all laws for men on Mount Sinai not by inspiration or fantasy as someargue, he received the TORAH, Letter By Letter.
In fact, when Moses went up the Holy mountain, God wrote the commandments with His Own finger - burnt the letters, one by one into the tablets.
The original scriptures in Hebrew and Aramaic are in my view evidence of the existence of God. It is testimony that the Word of God was indeed: God breathed.
What an amazing way for God to remind us that the Bible is multi-dimensional - the message itself coming from outsideour space-time domain. Don't you agree?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life Lord. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Now, help me to live for You the rest of this life.
In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
