spirals use to widen out
if you begin with Revelation Genesis would be somewhere in outerspace ...
and shouldn't you begin with the last verse, last word , even last letter of Revelation?
Maybe better vice versa, the letter "bet" of "bereishit in the center and as tip of the tail the letter νυ
o but wait, you work with KJV, ain't it?
Yes, I agree that a spiral opening outwards is a wonderful way to represent the Bible Wheel. As I explained, that wouldn't change anything about the relation of the three books on each spoke with each other and the corresponding Hebrew letter.
I think it is an excellent way to look at it because it gives that expansive sense of opening unto the infinite and that is its fundamental purpose: to reveal the UNITY of Grand Gospel Narrative of the whole Bible.
The demonstration of its UNITY is also a proclamation of its message, which is the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, SAVIOR OF THE WOLRD.
Scripture repeatedly declares: "that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established." Matthew 18:16
God fulfilled this principle by giving us many witnesses of His Gospel. The first is the unity of the whole Bible. Even skeptical secular Jewish literary critics see the grand design of God's Word. Here's how Gabriel Josipovici put it in his The Book of God: A Response to the Bible:
Gabriel Josipovici wrote:
It's a magnificent conception, spread over thousands of pages and encompassing the entire history of the universe. There is both perfect correspondence between the Old and New Testaments and a continuous forward drive from Creation to the end of time: "It begins where time begins, with the creation of the world; it ends where time ends, with the Apocalypse, and it surveys human history in between, or the aspect of history it is interested in, under the symbolic names of Adam and Israel." Earlier ages had no difficulty in grasping the design, though our own, more bookish age, obsessed with both history and immediacy, has tended to lose sight of it. Neither theologians nor biblical scholars have stood back enough to see it as a whole. Yet it is a whole and quite unlike any other book.
And what is this grand narrative? It is very easy to state:
- Original Creation
- The Fall
- The Giving of the Law
- History of Israel under the Law
- The Gospel Goes Forth!
- The Spirit is Given, the Church is Born
- New Heaven and Earth
Now here is the miracle of God. The Book of Isaiah follows exactly the same "grand narrative". Not just in general, but in the specific details of those seven points.
And not just the specific details, but the actually coordinates of the location of those details in His Word! There is a mathematically precise correlation between the 66 chapters of Isaiah with the 66 books of the Bible. Let's review:
- Isaiah 1: Genesis begins with "Hear O heavens, give ear O earth, for the Lord has spoken".
- Isaiah 1: Says "My children have rebelled against me" just as they did in Genesis.
- Isaiah 2: Speaks of God giving the law on a mountain, which actually happened in Exodus.
- Isaiah 1-39: speaks of Israel under the Law
- Isaiah 40: THE GOSPEL GOES FORTH! (Matthew 3:3)
- Isaiah 44: GOD POURS OUT HIS SPIRIT (Pentecost/Acts)
- Isaiah 66: New Heaven and New Earth (Revelation 22)
These are the same seven points, in the same order as the Grand Gospel Narrative of the whole Bible. God has fulfilled His own Word by confirming the Gospel from Aleph to Tav within the pages of the Bible. Isaiah is an image of the Bible within the Bible. It tells the same "Grand Narrative" that UNITES the whole Bible, so now we have a double proof of a proof that stands on its own merit.
Jesus explained: :Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he." John 13:19
For what reason? So that ye may know and believe that HE IS GOD as He declared in Isaiah 43:10 -

This was done so that YOU may "know and believe" that Jesus Christ is He who spoke to and through the Prophet Isaiah (see John 12:36-41). God has fulfilled His Word yet again:
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-1
God did it! He has declared "the end from the beginning" in the Book of Isaiah. And he encoded it all in Isaiah's name and the position of his book in the canon:
Isaiah = Book 23 = 1 (Aleph) + 22 (Tav)
Isaiah = Yeshayahu = 401 = 1 (Aleph) + 400 (Tav)
And of course the number of chapters in Isaiah matched the number of books in the Wheel = 66 = galgal.
And the Grand Narrative is centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ which itself is centered on the cross atop Golgotha, the place of the skull, spelled in Hebrew NT as gulgoleth with an alpha appended, so it spelled with the same letters as galgal (wheel) + Aleph Tav and that describes perfectly how God sealed His Word from Aleph to Tav with the Wheel.

No one who knows God "worships" the Wheel. But we do worship God for the glory of His Word, as have all believers since the beginning, long before anyone knew anything about the Wheel. Here are a few reminders of what real believers say about God's Word:
- “Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89)
- “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)
- Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
And speaking of the "lamp" - we know that God designed His Word upon the pattern of the Menorah, which is the pattern of the 6+1 days which is an unfolded centered hexagon and this is the mathematical pattern of his design of Genesis 1:1 = 2701 = T(73) = 37 x 73 = H(4) x S(4) etc., etc., etc.

The Bible is a PORTAL into the Mind of God. Praise His Name now and forever.
