Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare:
before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isaiah 42:9
The true joy of producing this website, which contains over 850 pages at the time of this writing,
is that the more I research and discover new things about God's Word, the more the old things posted long ago are confirmed and amplified.
All the pages on this site are strongly interlinked with each other. It would be absolutely impossible to continue adding
more pages and interlinking them with the rest of the site if they contradicted what was already here. The miracle of God is
that no contradiction ever appears! All the new results continue to
build coherently upon all those that went before, giving us an ever deepening appreciation of the never-ending wonder that is
the Word of God. Everything reinforces everything else. Wonders I saw ten years ago
seemlessly integrate with things I discover today, and this has been going on almost every day for over a decade!
The discovery of Alphabetic KeyLinks is another stunning example of how the Divine Coherence of this revelation
never ceases to deepen and expand. During most of the past ten years of research,
I have understood that God designed the Alphabetic Verses as a general template for
the large-scale geometric and thematic structure of His Word [see the online version of Chapter 1
of the Bible Wheel book]. This site is filled with hundreds of examples of the profound correlation between the meanings
of the Hebrew Letters and the content of the Books on their corresponding Spokes. But up until just last year (2004), I had only a
hint of the true significance of what God had accomplished when He designed the Alphabetic Verses. As it turns out,
the Alphabetic Verses are not merely a general template for the Bible Wheel;
they contain unique links to specific details found only in Books on their corresponding Spokes! A few
of the more stunnning examples are reviewed below. A table of the alphabetic structure of the entire Bible Wheel is found
here.
Ayin: The Eyes of the Lord
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
AV Ps 34:15
 | Spoke 16 Alphabetic KeyLink |
| The Eyes of the Lord are on the righteous |
Ayin Verse (Ps 34:15) 1 Peter 3:12 |
Until just last year (2004), I knew of only one example of an Alphabetic KeyLink. It is based on
the Ayin verse of AV Psalm 34 quoted above. [AV stands for Alphabet Verses].
The name of the 16the Letter Ayin literally denotes an Eye, which is how it is used in this alphabetic passage.
This is an example of how God revealed the names and meanings of the 22 Letters within the text of the Bible itself, thereby establishing
an everlasting foundation for the large-scale structure of His Word. But there is much more going on here.
This verse is quoted in one and only one Book of the Bible - 1 Peter 3:12 - which resides on Spoke 16, corresponding to the
16th Letter Ayin [see The Eyes of God].
It is an Alphabetic KeyLink that shows that the exact placement of 1 Peter in the canon was prophetically anticipated a thousand years before
advent of Christ! [Note that the Ayin verse is numbered "15" because the Vav verse is absent in Psalm 34.]
Shin: He Keepeth All His Bones
The discovery of the above Alphabetic KeyLink prompted me to look for more, but a superficial
reading of the Alphabetic Verses didn't
yield any immediate results and I had many other areas to work on that I knew would be fruitful, so I put the idea on the shelf.
It wasn't until I was under the intense pressure of trying to faithfully produce a complete Synopsis of the 22 Spokes for the
Bible Wheel book that I was forced to look much more intently at the Alphabetic Verses. I recalled the KeyLink to 1 Peter, and so I began with
AV Psalm 34. When I came to the verse corresponding to Shin, I was simply dumbstruck! How could I have missed it?
Here is the verse:
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
AV Psalm 34:20 (Shin Verse)
The Shin KeyWord is shamar (keepeth). This verse is cited in one and only one book of the Bible, the Gospel of John on
Spoke 21! And not only that, but the verse is a prophecy of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the central event of all Scripture, the very axis of the Wheel!
Here is the passage from John's Gospel:
For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
John 19:35f (Spoke 21, Cycle 2)
| Spoke 21 Alphabetic KeyLink |
| He keepeth all His bones, not one is broken! |
| Shin Verse (Ps 34:20) John 19:36 |
This KeyLink is documented on page 361 of the Bible Wheel book. It is
reproduced for this site here.
With the discovery of this KeyLink, I now had two verses from a single alphabetically structured passage that
are uniquely linked to Books on their corresponding Spokes! I knew there would be more. So I went back to
the beginning of AV Psalm 34 ...
Aleph: I will bless the Lord!
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
AV Ps 34:1
This verse opens with the Aleph KeyWord avarakah (I will bless), which is formed from the root
barak, (to bless) prefixed by an Aleph
to indicate the first person imperfect, the idea of "I will." This is an example of the beautiful self-coherence of Hebrew
as a building-block language. As the first of the Letters, Aleph signifies the intent to act, the idea of "I will." This role
of Aleph in Hebrew grammar is discussed in the analysis of the first verse of AV Psalm 145.
The exact form of the KeyWord avarakah is very rare. It is suffixed with the 5th Letter Hey to indicate the
"cohortative" form which is the Hebraic way of adding emphasis, like saying "I really mean it!" This exact form appears
only two other verses in the Bible. We find it once as a secondary KeyWord in the opening passage of AV Psalm 145 linked above.
And the one other occurrence? It is found in the Blessing of Abram in Genesis on Spoke 1,
corresponding to Aleph! And its not in just any old verse. It is in the very
verse in which God began His whole Gospel program with the initial calling of Abram! A closely related form avarekekah (I will bless thee)
that is formed by suffixing a Kaph (the sign of you or yours) also appears in this passage:
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee (avarekekah), and make thy name great; and thou shalt
be a blessing: And I will bless (avarakah) them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:1ff (Spoke 1, Cycle 1)
| Spoke 1 Alphabetic KeyLink |
| I WILL BLESS! |
| Aleph Verse (Ps 34:1) Genesis 12:3 |
We have therefore a third Alphabetic KeyLink from AV Psalm 34 to a corresponding Spoke of the Wheel! The discussion
of this KeyLink fills pages 128-130 in the Bible Wheel book. It is impossible to explain what it
was like to make these discoveries after so many years of research. How did I miss them? I don't know,
but I suspect that God just chose to open my eyes in His own time. Praise His name!
Resh: The Beginning of Wisdom
| Spoke 20 Double Alphabetic KeyLink |
| The Beginning of Wisdom (Reshith Chokmah) |
| Resh Verse (Ps 111:10a)Prov 4:7, 9:10 |
As a final example - perhaps the most significant of them all - we have the
unique appearance of the phrase
Reshith Chokmah (Beginning of Wisdom) found only in the Resh verse of
AV Psalm 111 and the Twentieth Book, Proverbs,
the premier "Book of Wisdom" to be found in the Bible. It is actually a double Alphabetic KeyLink,
as discussed at length in the Synopsis of the
Twenty-two Spokes in the Bible Wheel book and on this site in the Spoke 20 article
The Beginning of Wisdom.
These four examples should be enough to convince any one of the Divine Design of the
Bible in the form of the Wheel. But there are many other Alphabetic Links and KeyLinks that I have documented
in the Bible Wheel book. I will move them to this website as I find time. In the meanwhile, you can read about them
either in the eBook or in the hardbound version.
Definition: AV is used throughout this site to refer to Alphabetic Verses, that is, passages that God designed on
the pattern of the Hebrew Alphabet. E.g. AV Psalm 119.
