God's Mighty Power

And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Deuteronomy 4:37ff (Spoke 5, Cycle 1)

The numerous links from this little passage of Deuteronmy to the Books of Daniel and Ephesians on Spoke 5 are astounding to behold. For example, there are four KeyLinks connecting the above passage to Ephesians 1.15f:

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Ephesians 1.15f (Spoke 5, Cycle 3)

As an aside, note how the prayer that we recieve "the spirit of wisdom and revelation" integrates with the Spoke 5 theme of the revelation of secrets. Likewise, the reference to love in both passages links back to the article called Holy, Chosen and Loved. This is an example of how difficult it is to expound on Scripture - the superabundance of riches makes it impossible to even point to all the wonders, let alone expound on them! We will have to wait for some sort of multi-dimensional glorification of our minds to even begin to appreciate what God has done! Glory!

In the interest of brevity, I will simply list the four search strings that select these two passages (and only these passages) from the King James Bible. They are all based on the phrase "his mighty power" withing a few verses of some other common term, such as 'his mighty power' within one verse of inheritence, or 'his mighty power' within four verses of "love*". Since there are so many links, I will simply use the following shorthand to represent them:

	Spoke 5 KeyLink Set: 'His Mighty Power' near (Inheritance, Love*, Great*, Heaven*)
	DeuteronomyEphesians

The dominance of this theme on Spoke 5 becomes evident when we search the entire Bible for all verses containing the words based on might* and power* (i.e. all words like might, mighty, power, powerful,etc.) yields the following distribution:

Note that all three books from Spoke 5 contibute to the peak. Likeswise, all three books contribute to the secondary maximum on Spoke 1 which gives rise to relatively large value for the cc between each pair of Cycles:

Cycles 1 and 2: CC12 = .33
Cycles 1 and 3: CC13 = .64
Cycles 2 and 3: CC23 = .66

These numbers are simply to large and consistent to be attributed to chance. The evidence for the divine design of the Bible in the form of the Wheel is overwhelming. A similiar distribution is found when we search the entire KJV for all verses containing the phrase "mighty hand":

The blue bar on Spoke 5 represents the single hit found in Daniel:

And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

Daniel 9:15 (Spoke 5, Cycle 2)

This phrase is found in ten verses of Deuteronomy, most notably Deuteronomy 9:26:

I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Deuteronomy 9:26 (Spoke 5, Cycle 1)

Putting it all together: Now that the themes are evident, the task is to meditate on the meaning revealed in the structure God has designed. I leave that as an exercise ...
