Isaiah 43:9
THE BIBLE WHEEL CHALLENGE asserts that the Christian canon is truly perfect
in the twofold sense that 1) no rearrangement of its books would improve
upon the patterns discovered on the Bible Wheel, and 2) any rearrangement would cause an obvious degradation of existing patterns.
The challenge is for the opponent to suggest a rearrangement and present arguments for why such a change would produce patterns
equal to or superior to those presently seen in the Bible Wheel. This challenge simultaneously proves the invincibility of the
Bible Wheel even as it demonstrates the vacuity of the skeptics canard that
"patterns mean nothing because they can be found in anything." It is an extremely powerful challenge because it
can not be refuted without interacting with the data, and the data is the touchstone
that proves the Bible Wheel.
The simplest alteration would be to shift a single book. For example,
an opponent on an internet forum once asserted that the order of the
canon was wrong because Lamentations is an acrostic poem and so should be classed with the
other books of Poetry and Wisdom. He gave no support for
his suggestion other than appealing to its genre. Here is a short list of the
most significant patterns that would be destroyed by his suggestion:
- Moving Lamentations to the Poetry/Wisdom division would cause there to be six books in that division, and this
would completely destroy the sevenfold symmetric perfection of the Canon Wheel
which depends on the repeated pattern of 5 - 12 - 5 books.
This is an example of how the large-scale sevenfold symmetry serves as a kind of "seal" on the whole structure. Any change
other than rearranging the books within their own divisions destroys the top-level symmetry that is the first and
most obvious sign of divine design. It is very difficult to imagine any change on this level that would be broadly acknowledged as
an "improvement."
- Moving Lamentations would cause Isaiah to be displaced from its position on Spoke 1, which is easily proven to
be optimal as discussed in Isaiah: The Supreme Prophet of the Sovereign Lord.
It also would destroy the alignment of Isaiah with Romans, another obvious degradation as discussed in
Isaiah: The Romans of the Old Testament.
- Moving Lamentations to the end of the Poetry/Wisdom books would be a minimal change since it would leave the other books in
that section in
their tradition position. In this case, the book of Romans (known as the Cathedral of the Christian Faith),
would not only be dissociated from Isaiah (known as the Romans of the Old Testament)
but also would be aligned with Lamentations, the most pathetic
(i.e. pathos saturated) book in the Bible!
- Moving Lamentations to the Poetry/Wisdom division would break its many associations
with the third letter Gimel and
the books of Leviticus and 2 Corinthians on Spoke 3 without replacing them with any equivalent or superior
associations with Aleph, Genesis, and Romans on Spoke 1.
This list shows the kind of challenge presented by the Bible Wheel. Remember, this is just the short list.
I could have also listed the destruction of patterns on Spoke 2 involving
Exodus and Jeremiah, and so forth.
The Bible Wheel is truly an invincible witness of the divine design
of the Holy Bible. All the parts are
synergistically interlocked with each other. They form interwoven patterns that reinforce each other
on mulitple levels. Changing any one part affects all the other parts, and since the three books on each Spoke are
integrated not only with each other but also the corresponding Hebrew letter and the corresponding
Alphabetical Verses, the
the possibility of finding a superior rearrangement is not merely slight, it is reduced to nothing.
My great confidence in the invincibility of the Bible Wheel comes from two sources. For years I have
been presenting this information on
very hostile internet forums where every attempt was made to destroy the proclamation with no success whatsover
(e.g. JP Holdings Failed Attack). This is
coupled with the completion of the Bible Wheel book which documents the supernatural integration of all 66 books
with the 22 Hebrew letters. I know with absolute certainty that no rearrangement of the 66 books could
ever improve the overall design of the Bible Wheel. The proof is final and complete. Praise God for the revelation of
the divine perfection of His Holy Word!
I am very interested in any attempts to meet the Bible Wheel Challenge. If you think you can present a successful
argument, please email it to me and I will post it on this site. I also will allow rebuttal of any points I make in response to
your arguments.
