rosie girl, I hear that quite often in the religious forum, and ran into it again in this thread.
I know that book was inspired by God, and under the direction of His Holy Spirit, because I know man can not write in the same manner. For one, we suck at predicting the future, and two, there are so many codes, that those who penned it would not have been aware of. To make that Bible work, all forty writers would have had to be in the same room, conferring constantly to try to make it gel. There are numeric codes, computer codes, scientific codes...
The genealogy of Christ was written in a way no human can duplicate, even if they made up a pedigree to fit the guidelines the Holy Spirit used.
Here are a few of the easy ones. All multiples of seven. The hard guidelines concern vowels and consonants. Impossible for made to even imitate.
Number of words is 161 (23 X 7)
Their Numeric value is 93,394 (13,342 X 7)
The Number of Vocabulary is 77 (11 X 7)
The Numeric value of the Vocabulary is 51,247 (7,321 X 7)
There are six words found no where else in Matthew:
Their Numeric Value is 5,005 (715 X 7)
These six words have 56 letters (8 X 7)
The 161 words occur in 105 forms (15 X 7)
The Numeric Value of these forms is 65,429 (9,347 X 7)
In these 105 forms there are 35 verbs (5 X 7)
There are seven proper names (1 X 7)
The Number of letters in these proper names is 42 (6 X 7)
One word "Emmanuel" is used nowhere else in the New Testament and has a numeric value of 644 (92 X 7)
(add the figures 6 4 4 together for 14) (2 X 7)
The number of forms exclusive to this passage by Matthew is 14 (2 X 7)
Their numeric value is 8,715 (1,245 X 7)</ul>
