For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice,
and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes
of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Zechariah 4.10
A fractal is an object that looks like itself at different scales,
or levels of magnification. This is called self-similarity over scale. There are
numerous sites with tutorials and examples - just search for fractal and tutorial and you will
find more information than you could ever need. For example, here's a good one with a tutorial:
Amazing Seattle Fractals .
This idea is extremely useful because the Bible is a divine fractal revelation
of the Mind of God. Similar alphabetic patterns appear at all levels. This is similar to the
way information is stored in a Holograph, which is one of the reasons I chose that word to
describe the integrated alphanumeric structures such as the
Unity Holograph and the
Creation HyperHolograph.
I actually prefer that term because of the wholeness it implies, and its orginal meaning as
a document written wholy in the hand of the Author - God!
The Holy Word is infinitely deep
with endless wheels within the wheels but there
are three fundamental levels that clearly reiterate the alphabetic structure of the Whole. These levels
are simply axes of the Bible when viewed as a
three dimensional object. Each verse may be located by three numbers: Book Number, Chapter Number, and
Verses Number. This means that every verse in the Bible corresponds to a point in three dimensional
space - (x, y, z). This is defined and discussed with examples in the
Projective Links article.
Three Levels:
- Level 1: This is the basic Bible Wheel level, defined by
the ordinal position of each book. Links and KeyLinks on this level are between elements
of Books on the same Spoke.
For example, seaching the entire KJV for the phrase
Israel shall be saved yields exactly two
verses, Isaiah 45.17 and Romans 11.26. Both Isaiah and Romans are on Spoke 1, so
we represent this KeyLink by simply linking the names:
KeyLink Phrase: Israel shall be Saved | IsaiahRomans |
Alternately, we might want to emphasise the Spoke Number, so we could use modnotation to
write 23 = 12 to refer to Book 23 (Isaiah) that resides on Spoke 1, Cycle 2 and
45 = 13 to refer to Book 45 (Romans) that resides on Spoke 1, Cycle 3. Using this
notatation, coupled with gnotation to represent these numbers as geometric points, we
write:
| KeyLink Phrase: Israel shall be Saved | PBible( 13 ) PBible( 13 ) |
The subscript tells us which object contains the point.
- Level 2: This is the level of the Inner
Wheels and Cycles when we
look at the sequence of chapters. For example, the phrase "Israel shall be Saved" is found in Isaiah 45
which corresponds to the ordinal postition of Romans as Book 45 on the Bible Wheel. This means
that the KeyLink exists on two levels. The internal structure of the
66 chapters of Isaiah being self-similar to
the sequence of books of its parent object - the Bible. In this situation, the
gnotation is very helpful, and we represent this KeyLink as:
| KeyLink Phrase: Israel shall be Saved | PIsaiah( 45 ) PBible( 45 ) |
Remember - this is the day of small things. Take a close look at this KeyLink. The only difference is
is the subscript "Isaiah" on the left and "Bible" on the right, which reveals the geometric self-simlarity
of the Inner Wheel of Isaiah wiht the Bible Wheel. This KeyLink the Bible Wheel (Level 1) and the Inner
Wheel of Isaiah (Level 2).
- Level 3: At this level we examine the sequence of the verses in a chapter. This is particularly
significant because of the Alphabetic Verses where God encoded the fundamental themes of the Bible Wheel
(Level 1)! For example, the Letter Ayin signifies an Eye. God used the name of this letter as
a KeyWord in the Ayin verse of the alphabetic Psalm 34:
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
This verse is quoted in one an only one Book of the Bible - I Peter on Spoke 16, governed by the letter Ayin!
Thus we have a KeyLink between the Ayin verses of Psalm 34 (Level 3) and the Bible Wheel (Level 1)! We could
write this a number of ways. For example:
KeyLink Quote: The Eyes of the Lord are on the Righteous | Psalm 34.AyinI Peter |
Or alternately:
| KeyLink Quote: The Eyes of the Lord are on the Righteous | PPsalm 34( 161 ) PBible( 163 ) |
Again, take a close look at the subscripts. This KeyLink reveals the Alphabetic sequence of Psalm 34
to be self-similar to the large scale structure of the Bible Wheel. This is a KeyLink between Level 3
and Level 1.
At each level,
we move down to a deeper structure - not unlike first viewing an object, then the
molecules that make it up, and then the atoms that constitute the molecules. Thus we see God's
Word exhibiting the same reiterative
strucuture as the rest of Creation - all to His Glory. This is but a
glimpse of the infinity of
perfection that is the Living Word of God!
Admittedly, it requires a certain mental displine to trace the threads through all
the different Inner Cycles and
Alphabetic Verses without getting lost. This is why understanding the idea of levels is so important.
For an application of these ideas with a graphic of what is going on, check out my
article exploring Spoke 12 of the Inner Cycle of Psalms
Psalm 34: I will Teach.
