INNER CONVICTION

A further look at the miracle of Genesis 1:1

Introduction

The potentially-explosive significance of the Aleph-Tau Phenomena (ie the intricate numerical structures underlying the opening words of the Hebrew Bible) rests upon the clear understanding that these are the work of an exceedingly able and purposeful mind. It is argued elsewhere that they represent a message from The Creator – one that is particularly relevant to this generation. Without doubt, the train of logic that leads inexorably to this conclusion will tempt many to dismiss the features as fortuitous. It is the purpose of this paper, therefore, to counter any such claim by presenting further independent evidence of intricate design. In particular, it reveals that the individual words are related numerically; and that they appear to have been carefully selected so as to maintain the momentum of our interest and wonder – notably, in generating the many multiples of 37 that permeate the opening verse, Genesis 1:1.

2 – Genesis 1:1 as a rectangle

It has been demonstrated in earlier pages that the characteristic value (ie the sum of its 28 letters, read as numerals) of this 7-word verse is the large triangular number, 2701 – product of the mutually-reflective prime pair, 37 and 73. This implies that the verse may also be realised as a 37×73 rectangle, thus:

It will be observed that the outline of this figure comprises 216, or 6.6.6 units.

3 – Its components

We further observe that within this structure words 6 and 7 may be represented as rectangles of the same height, for both are multiples of 37: thus, 407 = 11 x 37, and 296 = 8 x 37. Remarkably, the differences between each of the remaining words and nearest multiples of 37 form a coordinated set of multiples of 6, as here revealed:

Furthermore, all word-values lie relatively close to a multiple of 100. Both features extend beyond Genesis 1:1 to the next word. This – as has already been demonstrated – functions also as a perfect numerical plinth for a triangular representation of the opening verse.

These features lead to two formal descriptions of Genesis 1:1 and following word.

4 – An interlocking set

The catalogue of elementary rectangular panels contained within Genesis 1:1-as-rectangle is presented below. It reveals that the first five words give rise to two mutually-exclusive pairs of composite units – referred to as (A,B) and (A’,B’). The rectangles associated with words 6 and 7 are designated C and D, respectively. Word 8 – first of Genesis 1:2 – is also depicted (in combination with word 4). The resulting rectangle is designated E.
