Hi Richard. I believe strongly that this year God is taking back and preparing His people. I myself just gave my life fully back to the Lord (Nov 7, 2025) as I had backslid for, ironically, ~14 years or so and not followed Him as I should have. In my case I came across an NDE testimony online that completely turned me 180 and convicted my heart strongly. The last four months have been an amazing transformation as He delivered me from my past and brought me closer to Him as I have ever been.

Since the start of 2025 I've had a strong feeling in me that there has been a divide forming between light and dark and with the light becoming brighter and the dark becoming darker. This is evident in the world events of this year and in general the people around us daily in our towns and cities.

As most here are deep into Bible mathematics I believe God speaks to us in our daily lives through the numbers revealed in his Word. We know that God likes to sign his work with his name numerically where possible. When I realized that the current Gregorian year 2026 and current Hebrew year 5786 both contain God's names, 26 (YHWH) and 86 (Elohim), I knew there was something very special about this year and as I thought that the phrase "Gods year" came to mind.

Our God is not a God of coincidences. Everything is planned and set out in perfection for His glory. I believe He is doing a great work this year for his kingdom but also the enemy has taken notice and is trying diligently to push it's agenda in the world.

Let's look at the years a bit more:

• If we sum the digits of the current Hebrew year 5786: 5 + 7 + 8 + 6 = 26 . Interesting we have both YHWH (26) and Elohim (86) numerically in the same year.

• If we sum the digits of both years together: (2 + 0 + 2 + 6) + (5 + 7 + 8 + 6) = 36 . We know that 36 = Ha'El (God or The God) [Is. 42-5]. Interesting we have another form of God's name.

• If we take the product of the Hebrew year 5786: (5 x 7 x 8 x 6) = 1680 we find the prime factors are 2^4 x 3 x 5 x 7 but more interestingly we see the factors 15 x 112 = 1680. As we know 112 is 26 + 86, YHWH Elohim and 15 is the value of the contracted form of God's true name, Yahh [Exo 15:2]. If not amazing in it self you may have also recognized 1680 as the value of Christ in the Greek. So putting this all together we can alternatively write out the product of 5786 as being:
  
  (5 x 7 x 8 x 6) = 15 [Yah] x (26 [YHWH] + 86 [Elohim]) = 1680 [Christ]

Maybe I am putting to much meaning into the numbers but then again when coupled with the times we are currently living I do not feel these are mere "coincidences". Many are and will be coming back to God this year. Glory to the Lord God almighty.

Hello Kyle!

Welcome to our forum. I'm really glad you found your way here and shared what God has been doing in your life. When you mentioned "ironically, ~14 years or so" I'm guessing you're talking about the fact that I too was backslidden and "eating grass" like Nebuchadnezzar for 14 years. I tell this story of how God woke me up and restored my faith and my soul and my understanding of His Word in this post.

Chuck Missler always liked to say that the word "coincidence" is not kosher. I agree. God definitely speaks through "coincidences". But yes, people can take it too far and make themselves believe something that's not really true or of God. Personally, I like to err on the side of caution, since it keeps things real, but on the other hand, we should never forget that God is the Source of all reality and He is living and active and powerful and nothing is impossible to Him. Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible".

The Name YH = 15 is significant. The challenge is that it's a very small number (the product of the second and third primes 3 x 5) so it can show up in many places that have nothing to do with that name. It takes a lot of work to discover the principles that God used in the numerical design of His Word. The most significant use of 15 (off the top of my head) is it's recursive appearance in John 1:1-5 (along with 137):

"All things were made by him" = 2055 = 15 x 137
Sum of John 1:1-5 = 26715 = 13 x 2055

This is the core of the Creation Holograph that unites with Genesis 1:1-5 and the Shema (which reveals the meaning of 13 as ONE = 13 = LOVE (AHAVH) and THE LORD IS )NE (YHVH echad) = 39 = 3 x 13 = 3 x ONE => TRINITY.

Thanks again for sharing the good news of your return to God.

When you mentioned "ironically, ~14 years or so" I'm guessing you're talking about the fact that I too was backslidden and "eating grass" like Nebuchadnezzar for 14 years. I tell this story of how God woke me up and restored my faith and my soul and my understanding of His Word in this post.

Yes this is exactly what I was referencing. I was following your work around 2011 and at the time when you fell away from God I was confused as to why and saddened at the same time. However after reading your recent story it has brought great joy to hear about your return.

Also thank you for the further connections with the number 15. The way I was looking at it was from the point of view that God takes every form of His name as significant and often weaves his name as a signature in His creation. You are right though that many words in scripture sum to 15 and really it is not unique in it self. However we could say the same for 26 and 86 as there are ~6569 occurrences of the number 26 and ~1689 occurrences of 86 in the entire Bible. With that said though the top occurrences of 26 in the Hebrew is YHWH and the top occurrences of 86 in the Hebrew are Elohim. If we apply this same logic to 15 the top occurrences in the Hebrew is YH.

I've always struggled with finding the absolute significance of certain numbers in God's mathematics as there seems to be an underlying structure connecting everything together with many connecting parts. Numbers such as 26, 86, 27, 37, 73, 373, etc. once examined in scripture are self promoting in significance and can stand alone however numbers such as 15 or say 113 still puzzle me.

Edit:
The above got me thinking about the significance of top occurrences of number values and I came across this. The number 73 occurs 377 times in the Hebrew and the top occurrence is the word for wisdom (choch-mah / hokmah) which occurs 51 times out of the 377 occurrences of 73. I thought this interesting as it directly relates to your page on the number 73 and it's relation to wisdom. https://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_73.php

Kyle,

It's a bittersweet blessing to hear your story. It's hard knowing that I failed the Lord so dramatically, and may have caused doubt in the hearts of those who saw me fall away so publicly. But God is faithful and I know He had a purpose when He sent me out to "eat grass" for 14 years. He taught me a lesson I doubt I'll ever be able to forget. I feel like Nebuchadnezzar:

Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

It is indeed difficult to discern the "absolute significance" of certain numbers. One thing I try to remember is that if there is any meaning intended in a number, it will depend also on context, just like the meaning of words. But some numbers have an innate archetypal meaning that is easy to discern. For example, I think of the Number 2 as the numerical category that subsumes the concepts of duality, division, image, reflection. Thus we see God divided the waters on the 2nd day and again in the second book (Exodus). And the second horseman was given a great sword (instrument of division) to cause war (social division). And the second commandment prohibits graven images. Similar simplicity seems common in the numbers up to 10, though there is a lot of confusion about 6 because it is simultaneously the number of day's God worked to produce His "very good" creation, but also the number of man who mucked it all up.

Some numbers larger than ten (e.g. 12, 40, 70, 1000) are used with sufficient clarity in Scripture to make it pretty easy to discern their meaning. But others have no clear attestation. Take for example, the number 13. It seems many people have mapped the common distrust of that number onto its "biblical" meaning. That is a great error. The meaning of the number is established by its use in the Shema and the primary name of God, YHVH. Look at these nested identities (see The Unity Holograph):

13 = Echad (one)
13 x 2 = 26 = YHVH
13 x 3 = 39 = YHVH echad = The LORD is ONE = 3 x 13 (ONE) => Trinity
13 x 86 = 1118 = Sum of Shema and so sum reiterates the whole message 1118 = 13 (ONE) x 86 (GOD).

Then then next verse commands we must LOVE (AHAVAH) the LORD and LOVE = 13 = ONE and that's the nature of love as we all know. And then God memorialized these facts in the famous LOVE CHAPTER = 1 Corinthians 13 which has 13 verses with the last verse being structured on three (faith, hope, love) and one (but the greatest of these is love. This is why I call these structures HOLOGRAPHS. Each part reflects, amplifies, reinforces and echoes every other part. This is how I know the meaning God intended. Jesus and the Jews agree that the Shema is the "Greatest Commandment."

Edit:
The above got me thinking about the significance of top occurrences of number values and I came across this. The number 73 occurs 377 times in the Hebrew and the top occurrence is the word for wisdom (choch-mah / hokmah) which occurs 51 times out of the 377 occurrences of 73. I thought this interesting as it directly relates to your page on the number 73 and it's relation to wisdom. https://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_73.php

When you say "the number 73 occurs 377 times in the Hebrew" what do you mean exactly? Did you search the entire Hebrew text for all words that have the value 73? On my search page, I only list the number of unique values for each word, not the total number of times they all occur. I plan on updating it with full search capability that would enable that, and make it fully interlinear too (as time permits).

Great chatting Kyle! I am so glad you came and shared your story and are growing in the Lord once again.

God bless,

Richard

I feel as if all believers go through these sort moments in their lives in some way or another. It's all part of the journey with God and like you said there is always a purpose. I have learned from many testimonies of others that once we give our lives to God we can not easily be taken out of His hand. He will pursue us to the end of the earth to bring us back to Him because through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ our past is washed clean and our sins forgiven as if they had never happened.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9

For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more.
- Hebrews 8:12

God's love for us is boundless, infinite in His very nature as He is love and true love is Him.

I too like your self have a background in IT and computer science. I have coded my own tools for investigating the mathematics of the Bible. The older tools my self but lately I have found AI can speed up coding these sort of tools quite a bit. See the screenshot below. To answer your question, yes, I used my software to search the entire Old Testament Hebrew text for all words with the value 73 then grouped the results by English word and then ordered the results from highest occurrence to lowest. The Hebrew text I am using is the WLC. Right now I am trusting the results with caution as I do not have any other sources to compare the results too minus counting them all by hand which time won't allow for right now

Good wisdom, my friend! The greatest act of faith is to believe God when He tells us He loves us and fill our hearts with boundless love and joy. Looking back in regret is a necessary part of repentance and entrance into the life of Christ, but once accomplished, it is folly to focus on that which Christ died to redeem us from.

Awesome! It's great to meet a fellow tech bro. I use AI all the time to create handy little tools built with html/js. I'm also working with ThreeJS in VS Code to create 3D interactive animations of the holographs, numerical geometry, etc. And I really want to create a new gematria DB using the critical text available in machine readable form from the STEP Bible project in Github (https://github.com/STEPBible). If you have any ideas, or would like to help, let me know! It would be great to collaborate. Do you have a website?

Here's a pic of an animation that shows how a 3D cube projects onto a square or hexagon in 2D:

I've been doing much the same. Actually that tool I screenshotted in my last post is a .net web application written in C# with a html, css, js front end. Sadly I can not say I coded it as I used AI mostly on it. There would of been a day where I would of spent months coding a tool and perfecting it however I just don't have the time now with work and all and AI offers a nice quick and dirty get it done and get the results now sort of thing.

That pic of the 3D cube hexagon projection is really a cool idea. Reminds me of your write up on cubic projections: https://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_HexProjections.php . Great way to visualize it.

As for the database this has been a challenge for me as well. There are many machine readable texts out there but very few that include the strongs, morphology, transliteration and original text all in one. I've tried to reverse engineer how applications like eSword do it but it's all propriety binary files. Right now I built a small app to parse biblehub and store each individual word in an sqlite database. It works great for the Hebrew text as their source is the WLC but the Greek is all over the place. They merged a few different Greek texts and so some verses match up with the Nestle–Aland and some the Textus Receptus. Taking a quick look at the STEPBible repo this looks promising. I'll give a closer look at it when I have some time on the weekend. Honestly, and I hate to promote AI so much, but I bet you could provide a snippet of the STEP text file and tell it to write a parser and output in what ever database format you want.

As for website no I do not have one. Well at least not a personal one. I've never been much into web coding. The design aspect of it I always lacked in.
