Bible Numerics?

While we have never accepted the Bible Code, for many years we thought that there was something in Bible Numerics.

Although it has never formed part of our statement of beliefs, our thoughts at that time were that numerics was one of the proofs for the divine authorship of the Bible. We did note, however, that no doctrinal point should rest solely on Bible Numerics. As it turned out, that was a wise approach.

Following further study, and while still noting that many numbers as used in the plain text of the Bible obviously have significance (e.g. the repeated use of 7 in the Bible, the 40 years in wilderness etc.), the thought that there are intricate numerical patterns hidden within the Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible can actually be proven to be true for any text, in any language, including this morning's newspaper. Such proof (for any text) is mathematically proven, demonstrable and irrefutable.

Revival Centres International has never used Bible Numerics to "prove" a particular doctrinal point of view. As numerical patterns can be found for any number that is looked for, in any text, those that have used numerics as "proof" of their particular point of view about the meaning of any scripture are in error.

Our previous use of Bible Numerics was undertaken in good faith, and not promoted heavily. Nevertheless, since then our understanding has grown. All of the foregoing of course in no way lessens our respect for the Bible as the infallible Word of God. We know the Bible is true because we met the Divine Author when we were filled with the Holy Spirit.

God, who created the universe and all of its laws, is obviously a consummate mathematician. The astounding mathematical complexity and elegance that underpins the natural creation gives us yet another reason to return praise to God.
