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
The one (H259) shepherd (H7462) promised (H1696) shall come (H935) to 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) gives (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 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, the only thought was to combine words consistent with what the Bible says about Jesus, with the goal of having the total numerical value of the words equal to that of the name of Jesus in Greek, 888. I had seen where others had demonstrated that by using a few words from Scripture related to the Messiah, the numerical values computed to 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 significant manipulation of the words. As I did not know which spelling of each word was appropriate for each 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
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
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, and so there is a legitimate concern that this may not be valid. However, this is not the only proof, 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 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)
דּבר משִׁיח ילד יחִיד בּן אלהִים הִיה מלך
90 + 20 + 86 + 52 + 32 + 44 + 358 + 206 = 888
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.
The only (H3173) Lord, (H3068) the name (H8034) above (H5921) all (H3605) names.(H8034)
יחִיד יהוה שׁם על כּל שׁם
340 + 50 + 100 + 340 + 26 + 32 = 888
The one (H259) name (H8034) above (H5921) all (H3605) names (H8034) of men.(H120)
אחד שׁם על כּל שׁם אדם
45 + 340 + 50 + 100 + 340 + 13 = 888
That (H1931) name (H8034) above (H5921) all (H3605) names (H8034) shall be (H1961) the Lord's.(H3068)
חוּא שׁם על כּל שׁם הִיה יהוה
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)
ישׁוּעה אדם בּוֹא מן אחד שׁם
340 + 13 + 90 + 9 + 45 + 391 = 888
One (H259)name (H8034)is able (H3201)to save (H3467)all (H3605)men. (H120)
אחד שׁם יכל ישׁע כּל אדם
45 + 50 + 380 + 60 + 340 + 13 = 888
Only (H3173)one (H259)name (H8034)is able (H3201)to save (H3467)the life (H2416)of men. (H120)
יחִיד אחד שׁם יכל ישׁע חִי אדם
45 + 18 + 380 + 60 + 340 + 134 + 32 = 888
Salvation (H3444)is found (H4672)in the name (H8034)of the Lord. (H3068)
ישׁוּעה מצא שׁם יהוה
26 + 340 + 131 + 391 = 888
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.
The Son (H1121) of God (H430) himself (H1931) shall come (H935) to fulfill (H3615) the law (H8451) and the prophets.(H5030)
יחִיד בּן אלהִים הוּא בּוֹא כּלה תוֹרה נבִיא
63 + 611 + 55 + 9 + 12 + 86 + 52 + 32 = 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
18 + 146 + 380 + 206 + 86 + 52 = 888
The only (H3173) Son (H1121) of God,(H430) the Lamb (H3532) of God,(H430) risen (H6965) to eternal (H5769) life.(H2416)
יחִיד בּן אלהִים כּבשׁ אלהִים קוּם עוֹלם חִי
18 + 146 + 146 + 86 + 322 + 86 + 52 + 32 = 888
The one (H259) and only (H3173) Lord (H3068) himself,(H1931)risen (H6965) from (H4480) death (H4194) unto (H413) everlasting (H5703) life.(H2416)

The only (H3173) Lord (H3068) God,(H430)the one (H259) risen (H6965) from (H4480) death (H4194) unto (H413) life.(H2416)
יחִיד יהוה אלהִים אחד קוּם מן מות אל חִי

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.(H3068) 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
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.
