- Professional Review: Cindy Snider of the Yakima Valley Business Times wrote an excellent review of
the Bible Wheel Book and Book House.
- J. P. Holdings Failed Attack: I reworked the entire article, doubling it in size.
This was necessary because in my first draft, I snipped out some of Turkel's most egregious errors because they were
so ugly I thought it would be better to just bury them. But Turkel presents himself as a "Christian apologist"
and his articles, which are read by many,
are designed to deceive so it is my Christian duty to help protect others from his errors. On the upside, I coined an apt
rubric in the process - Turkelian Hermeneutics.

- The Bible Wheel Challenge: This article formulates my challenge to
any and all who would deny that the Bible Wheel proves the divine design of the Protestant canon.
I am very interested in posting any and all serious attempts to meet the challenge.
- J. P. Holdings Failed Attack: Though his attack fell flat,
it achieved much in the larger scheme of things by setting the stage for yet another
effortless demonstration of the invincibility of the Bible Wheel. Thanks Bob!

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. -- Proverbs 8:8-9

- Samek: The Symbol of Help and Support: This article explains the symbolic meaning of
the Fifteenth Letter Samek, and reviews a few of its primary Alphabetic KeyWords.
- Ezra the Helper: This is one of most amazingly obvious correletions between the alphabet and
the Canon: the name of the Fifteenth Book, Ezra, is based on ezer, a synonym of samak, the root of the name of the Fifteenth Letter!
- Ezra: Three Decrees of Support The great theme of Ezra fully integrates with the
symbolic meanings of Samek as "help and support."
I also added an article in the Gematria Reference on the Number 60, the value of Samek, the Fifteenth Letter.

New book published by Bible Wheel Book House!
 I am very
pleased to announce that Anne McEwen's new
book Pocket Tools in Assisted Living is now available from her website
www.FrogsToday.org (The acronym F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Relying On God).
From the back matter:
Who can benefit from reading Pocket Tools?
- Families with members diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, and other debilitating diseases of the mind and body
- Families dealing with the reality of the disease and its unforgiving advance
- Care-givers involved in dementia care (home care and those in assisted living, residential care)
- Facility administrators and staff
- Ministers, caring workers involved in ministry to the elderly and their families
- Social workers assisting families stricken with Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders
- Health care professionals
Pocket Tools is different than your average weighty technical book on Alzheimer's:
- It demonstrates the realities of Alzheimer's Disease and dementia without drowning in heavy words. 'Techno speak' has its place, but that place does not involve the heart and soul of the afflicted person.
- It endeavors to help the reader touch the spirit of the Alzheimer's victim.
- It emphasizes the fact that, although the dear one you knew as Mom, Dad, or Granddad seems to be gone, they are still in there, desperately wanting you to find them.

It unites the geometry, semantics, and theology. This article is essentially identical to Chapter 4 of the Bible Wheel book.
- [Art] > Artistic Applications of the Bible Wheel: This page displays some of

New and Updated Articles
- Spoke 20 - Resh - Proverbs: The Beginning of Wisdom: Perhaps the most stunning of
all Alphabetic KeyLinks, the Resh verse in AV Psalm 111 uses the
phrase "Reshith Chokmah" (Beginning of Wisdom). This phrase is found in one and only one other Book of the Bible
- Proverbs - which is the first Book on Spoke 20, the Spoke that corresponds to Resh!
- Spoke 17 - Pey - The Mouth of God: This article is from the Synopsis
of Spoke 17 in the Bible Wheel book. It lays the foundation for the primary themes linking all three Books on Spoke 17.
- Spoke 17 - Pey - Esther: The Hidden Face of God: This article is also from
the Synopsis of Spoke 17 in the Bible Wheel book. It discusses the profound link between the name of Esther, the
Pey KeyWord panim (face), and the near universal understanding of Esther based on the Hebrew phrase "Hester Panim" (The
Hidden Face). It lays the foundation for the proof that the apocryphal additions to Esther must be excluded as
non-canonical, as discussed in the next article.
- [Canon Studies] > Apocryphal Additions to Esther Refuted: All the apocryphal additions to Esther
explicitly mention God in complete contradiction to His absence in the canonical version. This contradiction proves
that the additions spurious.
- Spoke 22 - Tav - Sealed with the Sign of the Cross: I updated this
article with content from the Bible Wheel book. It lays the foundation for the symbolic meaning of the last Letter, and
how it relates to all three Books on the last Spoke.
- Spoke 22 - Tav - Consummation of God's Plan of the Ages: This article
gives a quick overview of the relation between the symbolic meaning of Tav and the three Books on Spoke 22.
- Spoke 22 - Tav - Fulfillment of the Entire Revealed Word of God:
This article is drawn from the Bible Wheel book. It reviews comments from famous theologians who have understood
the symbolic meaning of Tav and relates their comments to the geometry of the Holy Word.
- Spoke 22 - Tav - The Marriage Song - Union of Christ and His Church:
This is a very large article (seven printed pages) drawn from the the Bible Wheel book.
It proves the canonicity of the Song of Songs and shows how
God placed it as a seal that consummates the first Cycle. It also discusses the hermeneutical implications of the
integration of content and form revealed by the Wheel. This is one of the most significant aspects of the Bible
Wheel, which will be discussed at length in forthcoming articles in the new Hermeneutics and Theology section.
- [Apologetics] > Can't you find Patterns in Anything?: This is my first article
in the new Apologetics section written to refute false arguments against the Bible Wheel.
New Sections
I have added three new sections, and have many articles "in the works" that I hope to add to them soon.
- Hermeneutics and Theology: The Bible Wheel has many ramifications on
I have been looking forward to adding for a long time. The Bible Wheel has endless implications for these topics.
- Apologetics: The Bible Wheel is the most powerful Christian
apologetic ever revealed by God. This section will present information on how to use it to preach the Gospel and to
prove the Divine origin of the Holy Bible.
- FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions. This section is under construction. Please email any
questions you would like to see answered.
Navigation Updates
I updated the banner bar for clarity, and to add the new sections. I moved the links to the articles on
World History and Inner Wheels to the bottom of the sidebar
of the Topics section since they could
easily stumble a reader who has yet to understand the basics of the Bible Wheel. I also moved the link to
the Collaboration articles
to the bottom of the sidebar in the Research and Reviews section.

The Bible Wheel in Action - Tested by Fire!
The Bible Wheel is the single most powerful Christian apologetic ever revealed by God. It proves the Bible
even as it preaches the Gospel. It reveals the incomparable Wisdom of God that turns "the wisdom of this
world" on its head (1 Corinthians 1:20-21).
The true invincibility of the Bible Wheel is demonstrated with utmost clarity when it is brought
under the fire of incorrigible skeptics and doctrinaire atheists.
It was for this reason that I presented
the "Bible Wheel Challenge" on the "The Beast Movie Forum" which was created to discuss Brian Flemming's
forthcoming pseudo-documentary that would supposedly disprove everything about Christ, the Gospel, and the Bible.
Flemming intended to release "The Beast" on 6/6/06. Thank God he failed. He is continuing
the project under the name "Danielle."
The thread now contains over 250 posts in which every form of attack has been attempted and refuted. I opened the
thread by challenging them to find any fundamental assertion I make about the Bible Wheel that can be
proven to be factually false. As yet, no one has come even close to succeeding.
Here is the link to the
The Bible Wheel Challenge .

Sowing the Word ...
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
The sower soweth the word. ... And these are they which are sown on good ground;
such as hear the word, and receive it,
and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. --- Mark 4:13ff
The Lord raised up a brother who contributed $400.00 for the distribution of 30 books to leading
pastors and teachers. I give the report in my blog where also I list the names of
those who will be receiving books so that intercession can be made on their behalf, that God
would give them "the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him" and that "the eyes of [their]
understanding [would be] enlightened" to receive the revelation of the Bible Wheel. I added a "Donate" button
to the bottom of the free eBook page to facilitate the transfer of funds.
You can use that button if you feel led of God to contribute to this work in
general or if you want to specify that the funds be used to send out books to pastors of your choice.
I will send a book (in your name or with a cover letter you have written if you so request)
to any minister in the USA for only $15.00 per copy, which includes
the cost of shipping and handling. Just send me an email with the names of the ministers to whom you want to give the books.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. - Proverbs 27:17
Internet forums are a mixed bag. Their downside is that they open you up to mindless abuse by really nasty people. But the
upside is that there are other Christian folks out there to help you sharpen your "iron." Philip commented on the
thread called The Canonization of Maccabees and found a very silly error in
my calculations. I had inadvertantly left out an elementary factor in one of the equations, so I updated the
article. But the thrust of the
argument remains untouched, and Philip seems like a very smart guy, so it will be interesting to see how he will respond once we
get the numbers all squared away and mutually agreed upon.

The Probability of the Old Testament Symmetry
In a thread called The Canonization of Maccabees on www.ChristianForums.com I argued for the traditional 39 Book Old Testament Canon by
asserting that the astounding three levels of symmetry of the Old Testament is evidence of divine design.
My argument was challenged, so I calculated the probability that the three level symmetry could have happened by chance. The results astounded me.
There is exactly one chance in 34,871,760 48,433 that the structure of the Christian Old Testament would appear as it is by accident.

Kept by God the Father for His Son Jesus Christ
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are
sanctified by God the Father, and preserved (kept) in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you,
and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 1f (Spoke 21, Cycle 3)
One would think perhaps that the light could get no brighter, but in truth there is no limit to the glory God has
revealed in His Holy Bible. The great theme of the John's Gospel, based on the Shin KeyWord shamar, is also the defining
theme of the little Book of Jude! Furthermore, its opening verse links directly to the Shin verse of AV Psalm 145:
The LORD preserveth all them that love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
- AV Ps 145:20
There are two Greek words corresponding to shamar, and both are used in Jude and in Christ's
High Priestly prayer in John ... [Read more ...]
The Last Supper: St. Jude asks a Question
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:22f (Spoke 21, Cycle 2)
In this day when blasphemies and lies against the Holy Word are flowing like a flood from the Dragon's mouth
- one of the most prominent being named after the treacherous apostate Judas - it is a
joy inexpressible to behold the Divine Perfection of the Holy Word. This article is based on a
question asked by
the Apostle Jude at the Last Supper in John on Cycle 2 of Spoke 21, and the answer He gave which establishes the theme of
the little Book of Jude on Cycle 3! And not only that, but the theme of the Question and Answer is itself based
on the fundamental Shin KeyWord shamar (to keep) that plays such significant role throughout Spoke 21!

Kept in the Name of the Father
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee.
Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one,
as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou
gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:11ff (Spoke 21, Cycle 2)
This is the third article from the Bible Wheel book (pg 360) that integrates with the two listed below. Read it
here. I hope to get the
pages from Jude published tomorrow. They are just as astounding as all the others and fully integrate with everything else
on Spoke 21. There is no end to the simplicity of this revelation and glory it reveals concerning the Word of God. Praise
His Name now and forever!
Sent in the Name of the Father
But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
- John 14:26f (Spoke 21, Cycle 2)
I just finished converting a section (pp 358-359) from Spoke 21 of the Bible Wheel book to html. It is called
Sent in the Name of the Father. It shows how God designed the Gospel of John on a
whole set of Shin KeyWords that He established three thousand years ago in the Alphabetic Verses. It also
lays the foundation for the KeyWord shamar (to keep) that figures so
prominently in the astounding Alphabetic Keylink called
He Keepeth All His Bones.

Another Revelation - Alphabetic KeyLinks!
During the first five years that I worked on this site, I thought that God's primary purpose for His design of the
Alphabetic Verses was to give us a storehouse of Alphabetic KeyWords to teach us the meaning of the Hebrew Letters so we would
know how they relate to the themes of the corresponding Books. While this is
certainly true, I discovered an even deeper Divine Purpose in their design - they prophetically anticipate the
entire thematic flow from Genesis to Revelation! I have discovered a whole new class of KeyLinks called
Alphabetic Keylinks that
form unique links from the Alphabetic Verses to specific content in the Books on the corresponding Spokes!
It is a true wonder to behold the perfect Wisdom of Almighty God!
The Sacrifice of the Lamb of God
One of the most stunning Alphabetic Keylinks that God showed me during the writing of the
Book is based on the Shin verse of AV Psalm 34:
He keepeth (shamar) all his bones: not one of them is broken.- AV Psalm 34:20
As most folks probably know, the fulfillment of this prophecy of the Lord's Crucifixion is recorded in one and only one Book,
which "just happens" to be the Gospel of John on Spoke 21, corresponding to the 21st Letter Shin! Praise the Lamb that
was slain from before the foundation of the world, and the Book God has given us that He designed in eternity! It is a particular joy
to share this revelation at the time we all are remembering the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world.
And on a more mundane note ...
I moved the "What's New" link to the top of the right-hand menu bar so it is easily accessible
from any page on the site. I felt this was important because the updates are coming fast and furious. I also
updated the sidebar menus in the Topics and Gematria Reference sections so
they now show all the articles. They used to hide the links under the subsection titles until you
clicked on one, but I got some feedback that that made navigation more difficult. If you folks have any other ideas of possible improvements

The Floodgates are Open!
Looking down the list of updates on this page, you will note that there were none between February 3, 2004 and December 22, 2005 when I finished
the book. This was because I had to devote all my time and attention on the book project. But now I am free to update the site, and believe
me, I have much to share! It is not an overstatement when I report that the Lord taught me more in the last 22 months of writing
the book than in all the years preceeding. So check

Online (html) version of Chapter 1 of the Bible Wheel Book
I felt a strong need to get the first chapter of the book online (html format so you don't have to download the 7.3MB eBook),
because it shows the simple beauty of the origin of the
Bible Wheel. When writing the book, I struggled for some time to find an introduction to the Wheel that would make it intuitively
obvious I had not "done anything" myself to produce the pattern. The solution came when my wife Rose was meditating on
the "book sealed with seven seals" (Revelation 5:1) and noticed a footnote that said the "book" was probably a scroll.
The Lord quickened her imagination,
and she saw the Bible "roll up like a scroll" in her mind's eye. This then became a beautiful and simple introduction to
the Bible Wheel. You can read it here.
