Gematria

"In this book on gematria the author has given statistically based evidence that a number of standardised gematria has been used in the Creation stories of Genesis. Simple and consistent rules have been found which transform these stories into evangelical parables."

H J Edwards

Gematria is an in-depth look at the first four chapters of Genesis: a search for a promised one through standard gematria. The book looks at the background tradition: how standard gematria may have been lost and how they came to be found. Isaiah's repeated telling of a plan laid down from beginning of Creation. Introduction to the standard numbers (name-signifiers) and their meanings. The early appearance of gematria from Day One of Creation and beginning of time. Each number is examined systematically in its separate chapter with probability of occurrence for each standard number. The appearance of the numbers in other books of the Bible. Prophetic allusions to the life of 397.
