Daniel 12:4 – "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
Here is undeniable proof, the third in the series, that every word, every letter, and every punctuation mark in the Bible text was put there by the inspiration of God. It gives new meaning to the words "increase knowledge." It's just one of the many signs, and without a doubt, the most exciting revelation that God said He would reveal to man in the "end time."
As you will see, God has put His signature throughout the Bible, has revealed history before it ever happened, all through hidden codes that were supernaturally placed into text that was written over 2,000 years ago, which could only be found with today's computer technological advances. The codes are found in what scholars call "Equidistant Letter Sequences" or ESL. That is, each sequential letter in an encoded word or phrase was found at the same distance apart numerically, the exact interval designed by God.
Actually, the discovery of hidden codes in Scripture dates back to before WWI, and it was not until 1988 that the use of computers was able to detect a significant amount of coding in Scripture. Since then, the research that Grant Jeffrey and others have done has just exploded, and new discoveries are happening every day.
Here is a summary of what has been found and outlined in Grant's book, referenced above. It is my understanding that he is in the process of writing another book to tell what he has found subsequent to "The Signature of God."
Luke 21:15 – "For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay (refute) nor resist."
Proverbs 25:2 – "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter."
The Signature of God
What follows is what most of the human race would find hard to believe. It is unfathomable to think that the Hebrew Bible, containing 304,805 Hebrew letters, written by 40 individuals, could contain hidden messages that if one letter was taken out of the text, one word was removed, the hidden message could not be revealed... yet the message has been sustained for over 2,000 years and has been revealed to man just as Jesus said it would be. Jesus has actually placed His name and other messages about Himself into text, which proves He is the creator of all, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
God's Signature
God has personally signed Scriptures throughout the Old and New Testaments in various ways. For example, in the Old Testament, He has encoded His name, Jesus, in the following Scripture:
- Genesis 1:1 – Beginnings with the 5th letter in the first word (B'raisheet) — "In the beginning" — the 5th letter and each 521st letter thereafter spell out "Yeshua Yakhol," which translates "Jesus is able."
- Isaiah 53:10 – Beginning with the second Hebrew letter "yod" that appears in the phrase "He shall prolong" and counting every 20th letter, you find the phrase "Yeshua - Shmi," which, when translated, means "Yeshua (Jesus) is my name."
- Genesis 3:20 – Beginning with the last Hebrew letter "heh" and counting every 9 letters, you will find the word "Yoshiah," which means "He will save" (This is coded backward).
- Genesis 3:21 – Beginning with the letter "ayin" in the Hebrew word for "coats of skin" and counting forward every seventh (7) letter, you spell "Yeshua" (Jesus).
- Zechariah 12:10 – Beginning with the letter "chet" found in the phrase, "an only son", and counting every 38th letter, it spells the word "Messiah."
- Leviticus 21:10–12 – Beginning with the first Hebrew letter "Heh" and counting every third (3rd) letter, it spelled out the phrase "hain dam Yeshua," which means "Behold! The blood of Yeshua."
- Zechariah 11:12 – In the story of Jesus's betrayal: Beginning with the letter "yod" in the phrase that reads "My price" and counting forward every 24th letter, you find the word "Yeshua."
- Ruth 1:1 – When counting every fifth (5th) letter from right to left, it spells the name of "Yeshua".
