The Pure Language of God
Each word in both Hebrew and Greek has a numerical value determined by the value of each letter in the word. This is demonstrated below for the name of Jesus in Greek.
Jesus = Ἰησοῦς = Ἰ = 10 + η = 8 + σ = 200 + ο = 70 + ῦ = 400 + ς = 200 = 888.
I was first inspired to use gematria to evaluate a verse from Ezekiel which I had read several months earlier, and for some reason had stuck in my mind: And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. Ezekiel 34: 23. Jesus said that he is the good shepherd: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10: 11. Using the method which I have described, computing the numerical value of only the primary spelling of each word without consideration for how the word should be spelled according to proper grammar, the truth of the Bible in relation to the good shepherd is confirmed. (In the examples shown, the Strong's number of each word is indicated, and all numerical values shown are the total for each word. Take note that Hebrew is written from right to left.)
One (H259) shepherd (H7462) = אחד רעה
275 + 13 = 288
David, (G1138) the good (G2570) shepherd (G4166)= Δαβιδ καλος ποιμην = 21 + 321 + 258 = 600
One shepherd, David the good shepherd = 288 + 600 = 888
The one (H259) shepherd (H7462) God (H430) shall set up (H6965) over (H5921) the people (H5971) shall be (H1961) the Son (H1121) of God (H430).
אחד רעה אלהִים קוּם על עם הִיה בּן אלהִים
86 + 52 + 20 + 110 + 100 + 146 + 86 + 275 + 13 = 888
One (H259) shepherd (H7462) was promised (H1696) to come (H935) and feed (H7462) the people (H5971).
אחד רעה דּבר בּוֹא רעה עם
110 + 275 + 9 + 206 + 275 + 13 = 888
Behold (H2005) the good (H2896) shepherd (H7462) of Israel (H3478).
הן טוֹב רעה ישֹראל
541 + 275 + 17 + 55 = 888
In Ezekiel, the promise that God will send one shepherd is prophesied. In John, Jesus claims to be the Good Shepherd who gives His life for his sheep. The sheep for which the shepherd gives His life is all mankind. Gematria of root words confirms that Jesus is the shepherd who gives His life for all men.
I (H589) am the good (H2896) shepherd (H7462) and give (H5414) my life (H2416) as a sacrifice. (H2077)
אנִי טוב רעה נתן חִי זבח
17 + 18 + 500 + 275 + 17 + 61 = 888
The shepherd (H7462) shall give (H5414) His life (H2416) for all (H3605) men. (H120)
רעה נתן חִי כּל אדם
45 + 50 + 18 + 500 + 275 = 888
The Pure Language of God
Jesus 888
Isaiah prophesied of a coming Messiah: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9: 6.
The child (H3206) shall be (H1961) called (H7121) Wonderful, (H6382) Counselor, (H3289)the mighty (H1368) God (H410).
ילד הִיה קרא פּלא יעץ גּבּוֹר אל
31 + 211 + 170 + 111 + 301 + 20 + 44 = 888
The Prince (H8269) of Peace (H7965) himself. (H1931)
שֹר שׁלוֹם חוּא
12 + 376 + 500 = 888
The child (H3206) shall be (H1961)a son (H1121) and his name (H8034) shall be (H1961) called (H7121) Wonderful. (H6382)
ילד הִיה בּן שׁם הִיה קרא פּלא
111 + 301 + 20 + 340 + 52 + 20 + 44 = 888
Isaiah also prophesied that the Messiah would be conceived and born of a virgin, and his name would be called Immanuel: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7: 14.
A child (H3206) born (H3206) the Son (H1121) of God (H430) conceived (H2029) of a virgin (H1330) shall come. (H935)
ילד ילד בּן אלהִים הרה בּתוּלה בּוֹא
9 + 443 + 210 + 86 + 52 + 44 + 44 = 888
Behold, (H2009) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of the Lord (H136) God, (H3068) conceived (H2029) of a virgin. (H1330)
הנּה יחִיד בּן אדנִי יהוה הרה בּתוּלה
443 + 210 + 26 + 65 + 52 + 32 + 60 = 888
Virgin (H1330) conceived (H2029) Son (H1121) of God (H430) and Son (H1121) of man. (H120)
בּתוּלה הרה בּן אלהִים בּן אדם
45 + 52 + 86 + 52 + 210 + 443 = 888
Behold (H1887) the child (H3206) whose name (H8034) is called (H7121) Immanuel. (H6005)
הא ילד שׁם קרא עמּנוּאל
197 + 301 + 340 + 44 + 6 = 888
The only (H3173) Messiah (H4899) called (H7121) Immanuel. (H6005)
יחִיד משִׁיח קרצ עמּנוּאל
197 + 301 + 358 + 32 = 888
For (H3588) his name (H8034) shall be (H1961) called (H7121) Immanuel. (H6005)
כִּי שׁם הִיה קרא עמּנוּאל
197 + 301 + 20 + 340 + 30 = 888
With the method of gematria which uses the primary spelling of words, it is proven that Jesus is the child called Immanuel, the only Son of God, and He is the Lord God.
The child ( H3206) born (H3206) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God,(H430) the Lord (H3068) God,(H430) shall be (H1961) called (H7121) Immanuel.(H6005)
ילד ילד יחִיד בּן אלהִים יהוה אלהִים הִיה קרא עמּנוּאל
197 + 301 + 20 + 86 + 26 + 86 + 52 + 32 + 44 + 44 = 888
In the Gospel of Luke, regarding the story of Jesus' birth, it is written: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not:for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2: 11. When the truth that Jesus, the Son of God and Savior, was born in the city of David is proclaimed using Hebrew root words, confirmation comes from the gematria value of the sentence.
Unto (H413) you this (H1931) day (H3117) is born (H3205) in the city (H5892) of David (H1732) the Savior (H3467) of men, (H120) the Lord. (H3068)
אל הוּא יוֹם ילד עִיר דּוד ישׁע אדם יהוה
26 + 45 + 380 + 14 + 280 + 44 + 56 + 12 + 31 = 888
Born (H3205) in the city (H5892) of David, (H1732) a Savior, (H3467) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God. (H430)
ילד עִיר דּוד ישׁע יחִיד בּן אלהִים
86 + 52 + 32 + 380 + 14 + 280 + 44 = 888
The angel (H4397)said (H559)unto the shepherds, (H7462)Unto (H413)you is born (H3205)this (H1931)day (H3117)the Son (H1121)of God. (H430)
מלאך אמר רעא אל ילד הוּא יוֹם בּן אלהִים
86 + 52 + 56 + 12 + 44 + 31 + 275 + 241 + 91 = 888
Isaiah also prophesied that God would send a savior who would deliver the people: And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. Isaiah 19: 20. Through the method of gematria which I have been led to use, Jesus is confirmed as that Savior God promised to send, and it is also confirmed that the Savior is God's only Son.
A Savior (H3467) shall be sent, (H7971)and he shall deliver (H5337) them.
ישׁע שׁלח נצל
170 + 338 + 380 = 888
God (H430)shall send (H7971)a Savior, (H3467)His only (H3173)Son. (H1121)
אלהִים שׁלח ישׁע יחִיד בּן
52 + 32 + 380 + 338 + 86 = 888
Later in Isaiah it is written: Verily thou art God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. Isaiah 45: 15. When the same root words used by Isaiah are used in a sentence, Jesus is revealed as the one of whom Isaiah has written.
Verily (H403) thou (H859)art God, (H410) the Savior. (H3467)
אכן אתּה אל ישׁע
380 + 31 + 406 + 71 = 888
In the New Testament it is written that God sent His Son to be the Savior of the world: And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 1John 4: 14.
The Father (H1) sent (H7971) His Son (H1121) to be (H1961) the Savior (H3467) of all (H3605)men. (H120)
אב שׁלח בּן הִיה ישׁע כּל אדם
45 + 50 + 380 + 20 + 52 + 338 + 3 = 888
Truly (H389)the Father's (H1)Son (H1121)is the Savior (H3467)of the world. (H8398)
אך אב בּן ישׁע תּבל
432 + 380 + 52 + 3 + 21 = 888
The Lord (H3068)and Savior (H3467)of all (H3605)the world. (H8398)
יהוה ישׁע כּל תּבל
432 + 50 + 380 + 26 = 888
In the New Testament Jesus spoke of being the good shepherd, and gave the example of a shepherd seeking out his lost sheep to represent his purpose in coming. In the Old Testament the Word of God says that He will be like a shepherd: As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so I will seek out my sheep... I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 34: 12,15.
I am (H589) the only (H3173) Lord, (H3068) I (H589) will feed (H7462) my flock (H6629) and cause them to lie down. (H7257)
אנִי יחִיד יהוה אנִי רעה צאן רבץ
292 + 141 + 275 + 61 + 26 + 32 + 61 = 888
When I first began to use gematria in the attempt to prove the divinely inspired nature of Scripture, my only intention was to combine words consistent with what the Bible says about Jesus, with the goal of having the total numerical value of the words compute to that of the name of Jesus in Greek, which is 888. I had seen where others had demonstrated that by using a few words from Scripture related to the Messiah, the calculated total value of those words equalled that amount. This was done by using what is accepted as the exact spelling of Hebrew words as found in the established "original" translation. Since there are numerous different spellings for every word according to their use, and I am illiterate in the languages of the Bible, I simply used whatever spelling of each word was necessary to obtain the desired total numerical value. In this manner I found a few hundred phrases and sentences in both Hebrew and Greek which were consistent with Biblical claims concerning Jesus which computed to 888.
I realized that this could not be considered proof, as there was no consistency in the way the various spellings of words were used. As I did not know which spelling of each word was appropriate for the sentence, I then chose to use only the primary spelling for each word of a specific meaning; the root words according to Strong's Concordance, before the spelling is changed according to rules of grammar. It was through this method that I found Biblical truth can be confirmed by the numerical value of the primary spelling of each word. As noted on the home page, this method is considered invalid by experts in gematria because the exact words of the original Scripture, and the exact spelling of the words in the original translation is not used. Nevertheless, I feel it is only through the guidance of the Spirit that I was able to discover an amazing number of gematria correlations, which seem to be far too numerous to consider them a coincidence.
Jesus is the Spirit of God incarnate, He is one with the Father, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrew people. Throughout the Old Testament, the one God is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: ...I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob... Exodus 3: 6. Using only the primary spelling of each word, it is proven by the numerical value that Jesus is the one God.
The Son (H1121) of the Lord (H3068) God, (H430) the God (H430) of Abraham, (H85) Isaac, (H3327) and Jacob. (H3290)
בּן יהוה אלהִים אלהִים אברהם יצחק יעקב
182 + 208 + 248 + 86 + 86 + 26 + 52 = 888
Jesus is the King of Israel, and the Redeemer as told in Isaiah: Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts; I am the first and the last; and beside me there is no God. Isaiah 44: 6.
I am (H589) the Lord, (H3068) the King (H4428) of Israel, (H3478) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God. (H430)
אנִי יהו מלך ישֹראל יחִיד בּן אלהִים
86 + 52 + 32 + 541 + 90 + 26 + 61 = 888
I am (H589) the Lord (H3068)God,(H430)the King (H4428) of Israel,(H3478)the Redeemer (H1350) of all.(H3605)
אנִי יהוה אלהִים כמך ישֹראל גּאל כּל
50 + 34 + 541 + 90 + 86 + 26 + 61 = 888
This verse in Isaiah says that the Lord is the first and the last. A similar claim is made by Jesus in Revelation: I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last... Revelation 1: 11. This truth regarding Jesus is proven by the numerical value of a combination of Hebrew and Greek words.
I am (H589) the Lord, (H3068) the Alpha (G1) and Omega. (G5598)
אנִי יהוה / Α + Ω
26 + 61 + 1 + 800 = 888
In the Gospel of John, it is written that Jesus is the Word of God who came to dwell among men in the flesh: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1: 1. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us... John 1: 14. Jesus is the Word of God, and two simple words in Greek confirm this to be true.
The Word (G3056) is (G2076) = Λο̍γος ἐστι̍ = 373 + 515 = 888
Scripture says that the "Word was with God, and the Word was God." A simple statement of truth regarding Jesus is confirmed by the following gematria results.
God (H430) came (H935) to earth (H776) in the flesh. (H1320)
אלהִים בּוֹא ארץ בּשֹר
502 + 291 + 9 + 86 = 888
Jesus is the light of the world: As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:5. He is also the light of heaven in the description of the New Jerusalem given in the Book of Revelation: And the city had no need of the sun, neither the moon to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Revelation 21: 23. Gematria confirms that Jesus is the light of heaven and earth.
The light (H216) of heaven (H8064) and earth.(H776)
אוֹר שׁמִים ארץ
291 + 390 + 207 = 888
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and the only way unto the Father: I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. John 14: 6. When this verse is written in Hebrew using the primary spelling of each word, instead of Greek of the New Testament the truth is confirmed. (The two words which I used for "but by me" are the same one's used in Zechariah 4: 6 for "but by" and I noted that a word for "me" is usually not written in most instances.)
I am (H589) the way, (H0734) the truth, (H571) and the life: (H2416) no (H3808) man (H120) cometh (H935) to the Father (H1) but by me. (H3588) (H518)
אנִי ארח אמת חִי לא אדם בּוֹא אב כִּי אם
41 + 30 + 3 + 9 + 45 + 31 + 18 + 441 + 209 + 61 = 888
As noted, I did not use a word for "to" before Father, but this is often how it appears in Scripture. This is not the only gematria evidence, and in a number of different ways the proof that this verse refers to Jesus can be seen.
I am (H589) the way,(H1870) the truth, (H571) and the life, (H2416) the only (H3173) Lord (H3068) God. (H430)
אנִי דּרך אמת חִי יחִיד יהוה אלהִים
86 + 26 + 32 + 18 + 441 + 224 + 61 = 888
The only (H3173)Son (H1121)of the Lord (H3068)God (H430)shall come, (H935)the way, (H1870)the truth, (H571)and the life. (H2416)
יחִיד בּן יהוה אלהִים בּוֹא דּרך אמת חִי
18 + 441 + 224 + 9 + 86 + 26 + 52 + 32 = 888
Behold (H1887) I am (H589) the Son (H1121) of God,(H430) the way, (H1870) the truth, (H571) and the life. (H2416)
הא אנִי בּן אלהִים דּרך אמת חִי
18 + 441 + 224 + 86 + 52 + 61 + 6 = 888
I am (H595)the one (H259)Lord (H3068)and Redeemer, (H1350)the truth (H571)and the life, (H2416)the only (H3173)way (H0734)unto (H413)the Father. (H1)
אנכִי אחד יהוה גּלא אמת חִי יחִיד ארח אל אב
3 + 31 + 209 + 32 + 18 + 441 + 34 + 26 + 13 + 81 = 888
Surely (H3588)no (H3808)man (H120) cometh (H935)unto (H413)the Father (H1)but by (H3588) (H518)the way, (H0734)the truth, (H571)and the life. (H2416)
כִּי לא אדם בּוֹא אל אב כִּי אם ארח אמת חִי
18 + 441 + 209 + 41 + 30 + 3 + 31 + 9 + 45 + 31 + 30 = 888
The only (H3173)Lord, (H3068)the Son (H1121)of God (H430)shall come, (H935)the way, (H1870)the truth, (H571)and the life. (H2416)
יחִיד יהוה בּן אלהִים בּוֹא דּרך אמת חִי
18 + 441 + 224 + 9 + 86 + 52 + 26 + 32 = 888
According to Scripture, Jesus is the "bread of life": For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. John 6: 33. Jesus said: I am the bread of life. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 6: 48. 50-51 The truth of this Scripture, that Jesus is the bread of life, is proven by the gematria related to the primary spelling of Hebrew words.
The bread (H3899) of life (H2416) that (H3588) came down (H3381)from (H4480) heaven (H8064) a sin offering (H2403) for man.(H120)
לחם חִי כִּי ירד מן שׁמִים חטאה אדם
45 + 23 + 390 + 90 + 214 + 30 + 18 + 78 = 888
Behold,(H1887)the bread (H3899)that (H3588)came down (H3381)from (H4480)heaven (H8064)to sacrifice (H2076)His life (H2416)for men.(H120)
הא לחם כִּי ירד מן שׁמִים זבח חִי אדם
45 + 18 + 17 + 390 + 90 + 214 + 30 + 78 + 6 = 888
The bread (H3899) of life (H2416) that (H3588)came down (H3381)was (H1961)the flesh (H1320)of the Lord.(H3068)
לחם חִי כִּי ירד הִיה בּשֹר יהוה
26 + 502 + 20 + 214 + 30 + 18 + 78 = 888
The bread (H3899)of life (H2416) to come down (H3381)was (H1961)the body (H6106)of the Messiah.(H4899)
לחם חִי ירד הִיה עצם משִׁיח
358 + 200 + 20 + 214 + 18 + 78 = 888
Jesus is the Lamb of God: And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God. John 1: 36. Jesus is the Lamb that was slain: ...Worthy is the Lamb that was slain... Revelation 5: 12 Gematria by the method being used confirms that Jesus is the Messiah, the Lamb that was slain, and the Savior of men.
The Messiah, (H4899) the Lamb (H3532) that was slain.(H2026)
משִׁיח כּבשׁ הרג
208 + 322 + 358 = 888
Behold, (H2005)the Lamb (H3532)of God (H430)the Savior (H3467)of men.(H120)
הן דּבשׁ אלהִים ישׁע אדם
45 + 380 + 86 + 322 + 55 = 888
The perfect (H8549)Lamb, (H3532)the Lord (H3068)of all. (H3605)
תּמִים כּבשׁ יהוה כּל
50 + 26 + 322 + 490 = 888
It is Christian doctrine that salvation is possible only through the blood of the Lamb, the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. Gematria proves that salvation comes only through the blood of Jesus.
Salvation (H3444) shall come (H935) only (H3173) from (H4480) the blood (H1818) of the Lamb.(H3532)
ישׁוּעה בּוֹא יחִיד מן דּם כּבשׁ
322 + 44 + 90 + 32 + 9 + 391 = 888
In Isaiah, God is proclaimed as He who blots out the transgressions of man and through whom we are justified: I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Isaiah 43: 25-26. This OT promise is fulfilled in Jesus, by whose blood our sins are blotted out and we are justified in the sight of God as proclaimed in the NT: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26: 28. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him. Romans 5: 9. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Ephesians 1: 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1: 14. In the passage from Isaiah, God says that to be justified we must "put him in remembrance." In the NT it is written: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 1Corinthians 11: 24-25. Gematria confirms that it is through the blood of Jesus, the Son of God, by which our transgressions are blotted out, our sins are forgiven, and by acknowledgement and remembrance of His sacrifice we are justified.
I (H595) am the Son (H1121) of God, (H430) he (H1931) that blotteth out (H4229) thy transgressions (H6588) with (H5973) his blood. (H1818)

Eat (H398)this (H2088)bread (H3899)and drink (H8248)this (H2088)cup (H3563)in remembrance (H2142)of my sacrifice. (H2077)

17 + 227 + 86 + 12 + 405 + 78 + 12 + 51 = 888
I came across the following remarkable gematria confirmation of Biblical truth regarding Jesus when I read this verse: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15: 13.
Greater (H1419) love (H157) hath no (H3808)man (H376) than (H4480) this, (H2088) that a man (H120) lay down (H7901) his life (H2416) for his friends. (H157)

In Revelation it is said that only the Lamb is worthy to loose the seals of the book: Who is worthy to open the book, and loosen the seals thereof? ...behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and lo... a Lamb as it had been slain... came and took the book. And when he had taken the book... they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and open the seals thereof. Revelation 5: 2,5-9. Jesus is the Root of David, the Lamb, who is the only one worthy to loose the seals of the book.
For (H3588) the Lamb (H3532) is worthy (H2428) to loose.(H6605)
כִּי כּבשׁ חִיל פּתח
488 + 48 + 322 + 30 = 888
The Hebrew word for "loose" is also used for "open." If this meaning of the word is used, then it is again proven that only Jesus is able to open the book.
Able (H3201) to open (H6605) the book. (H5612)
יכל פּתח ספר
340 + 488 + 60 = 888
Jesus is the Messiah which was promised in Old Testament prophecies, the only Son of God, and He is King: Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth... John 18: 37.
The promised (H1696) Messiah (H4899) born (H3205) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God (H430) shall be (H1961) King. (H4428)

Jesus is the only Lord, and the name above all names: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him; and given him a name which is above every name. Philippians 2: 9.

26 + 20 + 340 + 50 + 100 + 340 + 12 = 888
Jesus is the name above all names, and the only name in which salvation can be found: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4: 12.
Salvation (H3444) comes (H935) only (H3173) from (H4480) the name (H8034) of the Lord. (H3068)
ישׁוּעה בּוֹא יחִיד מן שׁם יהוה
26 + 340 + 90 + 32 + 9 + 391 = 888
Salvation (H3444)of men (H120)shall come (H935)from (H4480)one (H259)name. (H8034)

Jesus said: Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matthew 5: 17. This truth is confirmed by the method of gematria that has been revealed to me.
When only some of the words from this verse "translated" into Hebrew root words are used, the message of the verse is first confirmed by the numerical value of the following root words.
Think (H2083)not (H3808) the Messiah (H4899) came (H935)

Jesus is confirmed as the Messiah who came to fulfill the law and the prophets.

The Messiah (H4899) came (H935) as a child (H3206) to fulfill (H3615) Scripture. (H3791)

422 + 55 + 44 + 9 + 358 = 888
The Messiah (H4899) fulfills (H3615)Scripture (H3791) as the one (H259) sacrifice (H2077) for sin. (H2403)
משִׁיח כּלה כּתב אחד זבח חטאה
23 + 17 + 13 + 422 + 55 + 358 = 888
The Messiah (H4899) came (H935) as the good (H2896) shepherd (H7462) of the people (H5971) to fulfill (H3615)prophecy. (H5016)

The child (H3206) born (H3205) the only (H3173)Son (H1121) of God (H430) came (H935) as a sacrifice (H2077) for the sins (H2399) of men (H120) to fulfill (H3615) the prophecy (H5016) in Scripture. (H3791)

422 + 64 + 55 + 45 + 18 + 17 + 9 + 86 + 52 + 32 + 44 + 44 = 888
Salvation through Jesus is possible because He was raised from the grave and has dominion over death: ...like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Romans 6: 4,8-9. The numerical value of words according to the method that has been revealed to me by the Spirit confirms that Jesus is the Son of God, the risen Savior.
The Son (H1121) of God, (H430) the promised (H1696) Savior (H3467) risen (H6965) to life. (H2416)
בּן אלהִים דּבר ישׁע קוּם חִי

The one (H259) and only (H3173) Lord (H3068) himself,(H1931)risen (H6965) from (H4480) death (H4194) unto (H413) everlasting (H5703) life.(H2416)

In John’s vision recorded in Revelation Jesus speaks to him: …Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death. Revelation 1: 17-18. The numerical value of Hebrew root words related to this passage of Scripture confirms the truth.
I (H589) am the Son (H1121) of God (H430) that liveth (H2416) and was dead (H4191) and I (H589) am alive (H2416) forever more. (H5769)

146 + 18 + 61 + 446 + 18 + 86 + 52 + 61 = 888
I (H595) am the Lord, (H3068) he (H1931) that liveth (H2416) and was dead, (H4191) and, behold, (H2009) I (H595) am alive (H2416) forever more. (H5769)

146 + 18 + 81 + 60 + 446 + 18 + 12 + 26 + 81 = 888
Not only does Jesus have dominion over death for himself, he gives dominion over sin and death to men: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8: 2,11.
The only (H3173)Son (H1121) of God (H430) has dominion over (H7287) sin (H2398) and death (H4194) for men.(H120)
בּן אלהִים רדה חטא מות אדם
45 + 446 + 18 + 209 + 86 + 52 + 32 = 888
Jesus came as the one sacrifice to fulfill the law: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; Hebrews 10: 12. The sacrifice of Jesus was for the sins of the whole world: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1John 2: 2. Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the one sacrifice for the sins of the world.
The Lamb (H3532) of God, (H430) the one (H259)sacrifice (H2077) for the sins (H2399) of the world. (H8398)
כּבשׁ אלהִים אחד זבח חטא תּבל
432 + 18 + 17 + 13 + 86 + 322 = 888
In the Book of Revelation Jesus is called the King of kings and Lord of lords: ...until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1Timothy 6: 15. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19: 13,16. In Hebrew the word most commonly used for Lord is the one from which the name "Jehovah" arises and is translated either "Lord" or "God." This is the proper name for the one God. Another Hebrew word "Adonay" also means lord and can refer either to God or a lord of men. I used this word, which seems more appropriate in the following.
I am (H589) the only (H3173) Son (H1121) of the Lord (H3068) God (H430) and shall be (H1961) called (H7121) the King (H4428) of kings (H4428) and Lord (H0136) of lords.(H0136)

65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 301 + 20 + 86 + 52 + 32 + 81 + 6 = 888
The Son (H1121) of the Lord (H3068) God (H430) shall be (H1961) the only (H3173) one (H259) worthy (H2428) to call (H7121) the King (H4428) of kings (H4428) and Lord (H0136) of lords.(H0136)
בּן יהוה אלהִים הִיה אחד חִיל קרא מלך מלם אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 301 + 48 + 13 + 32 + 20 + 86 + 26 + 52 = 888
The Son (H1121) of God (H430)shall come (H935)again (H3254) and the people (H5971) shall call him (H7121) the King (H4428) of kings. (H4428)
בּן אלהִים בּוֹא יסף עם קרא מלך מלך
90 + 90 + 301 + 110 + 150 + 9 + 86 + 52 = 888
The only (H3173)Son (H1121)of God (H430)the Father (H1)shall come (H935)and all (H3605)men (H120)shall call him(H7121)the King (H4428)of kings (H4428)and Lord (H0136)of lords. (H0136)
יחִיד בּן אלהִים אב בּוֹא כּל אדם קרא מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 301 + 45 + 50 + 9 + 3 + 86 + 52 = 32 = 888
Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, is the Savior that gives life to men.
Only (H3173) one (H259) King (H4428) of kings (H4428)and Lord (H0136) of lords (H0136) shall save (H3467) men (H120) from (H4480) sin. (H2398)

18 + 90 + 45 + 380 + 65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 13 + 32 = 888
For (H3588) salvation (H3444) is able (H3201) to come (H935) from (H4480) the blood (H1818) of the only (H3173) Son, (H1121) the King (H4428) of kings.(H4428)
כִּי ישׁוּעה יכל בּוֹא מן דּם יחִיד בּן מלך מלך
90 + 90 + 52 + 32 + 44 + 90 + 9 + 60 + 391 + 30 = 888
Salvation (H3444)shall come (H935) by grace (H2580) from the one (H259)sacrifice (H2077)of the King (H4428)of kings (H4428)and Lord (H0136)of lords. (H0136)
ישׁוּעה בּוֹא חן מן אחד זבח מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 17 + 13 + 90 + 58 + 9 + 391 = 888
The King (H4428)of kings (H4428)and Lord (H0136)of lords (H0136)is able (H3201)to give (H5414)life. (H2416)
מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי יכל נתן חִי
18 + 500 + 60 + 65 + 65 + 90 + 90 = 888
The only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God,(H430)the Lamb (H3532) of God,(H430)the King (H4428) of kings (H4428) and Lord (H0136) of lords.(H0136)
יחִיד בּן אלהִים כּבשׁ אלהִים מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 86 + 322 + 86 + 52 + 32 = 888
In the Book of Revelation it says that the one called The Word of God is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Returning to the different Hebrew words that can be used for "Lord" and "God," the word from which "Jehovah" arises can be used for either, as it is the proper name of the one God of the Hebrew people. Jesus is therefore not simply the "word" of any god, "Elohim" the most commonly used word for God, which can also be used for any god, but He is the Word of Jehovah, the one true God. This is confirmed by the following.
Men (H120) shall call (H7121) The Word (H1697) of God (H3069) the King (H4428) of kings (H4428) and Lord (H0136) of lords (H0136)
אדם קרא דּבר יהוה מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 26 + 206 + 301 + 45 = 888
The same passage of Scripture says that when Jesus Christ returns in the end He will have written on his vesture dipped in blood "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
The Lord (H3068) shall come,(H935) and on (H5921) his vesture (H3830) dipped (H2882) in blood (H1818) shall be (H1961) "KING (H4428) OF KINGS (H4428) AND LORD (H0136) OF LORDS."(H0136)
יהוה בּוֹא על לבוּשׁ טבל דּם הִיה מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 20 + 44 + 41 + 338 + 100 + 9 + 26 = 888
Jesus, the only Son of God, is the Savior, and the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
The beloved (H3039)only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God, (H430) the Savior, (H3467) the King (H4428) of kings, (H4428) and Lord (H0136) of lords. (H0136)
ידִיד יחִיד בּן אלהִים ישׁע מלך מלך אדנִי אדנִי
65 + 65 + 90 + 90 + 380 + 86 + 52 + 32 + 28 = 888
Throughout the NT, Jesus repeaptedly claimed to have been sent into the world by God the Father to do His will. Gematria confirms that it is Jesus who was sent by the Father into the world to die as the sacrifice for sins of men.
The Father (H1) sent (H7971) His only (H3173) Son (H1121) into (H413) the world. (H8398)
אב שׁלח יחִיד בּן אל תּבל
432 + 31 + 52 + 32 + 338 + 3 = 888
The Father (H1)sent (H7971) His only (H3173)Son (H1121)to die (H4191)as a sacrifice. (H2077)
אב שׁלח יחִיד בּן מוּת זבח
17 + 446 + 52 + 32 + 338 + 3 = 888
Throughout the Bible the phrase "it is written" is used to reaffirm what Scripture has proclaimed. A statement of what is written in the Bible confirms that Jesus is the only Savior of men.
It is written,(H3789) the only (H3173) Savior (H3467) of men (H120) shall come.(H935)
כּתב יחִיד ישׁע אדם בּוֹא
9 + 45 + 380 + 32 + 422 = 888
Gematria using the primary spelling of words as shown confirms the truth of Scripture regarding Jesus by the number 888. There are many more examples which I could give. It is difficult to believe that this could simply be coincidental. I believe it is a revelation from the Spirit that has come to me so that those who require evidence to believe what the Bible says might be convinced that the Bible is truly divinely inspired. The number 888 is not the only number which provides this evidence as subsequent web pages will demonstrate.
