Spoke 20 - Resh - The Friend of God

Spoke 20

Proverbs, Luke, III John

It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Luke 1.2f

The name Theophilus, to whom Luke addressed his Gospel, means Friend of God. This links directly to the Hebrew KeyWord , (Rayah, Friend).

This also clearly manifests in the tiny book of III John. Just as it opens with reference to the Resh-theme word health, so it closes with doubled reference to the Resh-theme word Friend, saying "Our friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name." Both instances of friend in this verse are translations of the Greek Philos, the root used in the name Theophilus.

The dominance of this theme can be mathematically measured by examining the distribution of words related to friend throughout the King James Bible. The result is unmistakably obvious:

The average number of "hits" per Spoke is 4.9, with a Standard Deviation of 8.4. This means that the maximum value of 39 hits on Spoke 20 is more than FOUR Standard Deviations above the average.

Calculating the Coefficient of Correlation between the distributions on Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (red and blue) yields a value of .78! Again, we have clear, unambiguous, and mathematically measurable evidence of the divine design of the entire body of Scripture in accordance with the pattern of the Wheel.
