The First Prime: 1 or 2?

[Megiddo]

... the question regarding: 1 being the first prime ...

But here's another reason: Genesis 1:1 = 37 x 73, a pair of mirrored primes (God is a big fan of symmetry, which is fundamental to the laws of nature that He designed). When 2 is counted as the first prime, then the indexes of 37 and 73 are also 12 and 21, which are also mirrors of each other. This feels deep, especially when we recall that the numbers 37 and 73 are a hex/star pair created by the symmetric self-intersection of tenth triangle T(10) with it's mirrored inverse of itself:

Good points Richard! 

One thing I would add is that when 2 is the first prime, the prime orders of the mirrored Genesis 1:1 primes (37/73) follow the SAME pattern. That is, they repeat the same reflective symmetry of the prime factors and this reflective symmetry breaks down when 1 becomes the first prime. This would change 37 to the 13th prime and 73 to the 22nd prime. Yes, one can go searching for OTHER connections to 13 and 22 (or any other number for that matter), but that would force us to ignore the clear and obvious symmetry of 12/21. 

A mathematician wouldn't care about 13 and 22 as it relates to 37/73, but they would certainly notice the symmetry of 12/21 as it relates to 37/73 (and God is the supreme mathematician).

The symmetry is also threefold: 

● 37 = P(12) and 12^2 = 144 
● 73 = P(21) and 21^2 = 441

My own research also demonstrates conclusively that P(1) = 2. For example, the Triple Repdigits form a logical set of palindromic numbers tied to 37 (the key Genesis 1:1 prime): 

111 / (1 + 1 + 1) = 37 
222 / (2 + 2 + 2) = 37 
333 / (3 + 3 + 3) = 37 
444 / (4 + 4 + 4) = 37 
555 / (5 + 5 + 5) = 37 
666 / (6 + 6 + 6) = 37 
777 / (7 + 7 + 7) = 37 
888 / (8 + 8 + 8) = 37 
999 / (9 + 9 + 9) = 37 

P(111) = 607 
P(222) = 1399 
P(333) = 2239 
P(444) = 3119 
P(555) = 4019 
P(666) = 4973 
P(777) = 5903 
P(888) = 6907 
P(999) = 7907 

Total sum = 37073 

Triple Repdigit sum = 4995 

37073 - 4995 = 373 × 86 

"LOGOS" (SG) = 373 
"THE LOGOS" (SG) = P(86) 

"ELOHIM" (SH) = 86 

Notice that the Triple Repdigits themselves are SELF-REFLECTIVE (i.e. their mirrors yield the same value). This same prime indexing code applied to the Genesis 1:1 word values reveals the very same mirroring pattern of 37/73: 

P(913) = 7127 
P(203) = 1237 
P(86) = 443 
P(401) = 2749 
P(395) = 2711 
P(407) = 2797 
P(296) = 1949 

Total sum = P(2161) 

2161 + 1612 = 3773 

Genesis 1:1 (SH) = 2701 = 37 × 73 

2701 + 1072 = 3773 


There's also the phenomenon of semiprime encoding, which also depends on 2 being the first prime (since the entire order of semiprimes would be turned upside down if 1 were counted among the primes): 

"Jesus Christ" (SG) = 2368 

2368 + SP(37) + SP(73) = 37 × 73 

2368 + (115 + 218) = 37 × 73

Grok told me this about those three word combinations made up of 894.
I told it to compare that finding to the 21 multiples of 37 in the 120 possible word combinations of Gen 1:1 when not including the individual word values.

. Correct probability / rarity calculation
The proper baseline is the actual range of all 120 sums:
Minimum sum = 289
Maximum sum = 2701
Number of possible integer values in this range = 2701 − 289 + 1 = 2413
If the 120 sums were randomly and independently distributed across these 2413 possible values (a standard neutral “null model” for assessing surprise), then:

Expected number of subsets per specific sum value (e.g., per fixed number like 894) = 120 / 2413 ≈ 0.0497

For the observed value 894:

Expected occurrences: ≈ 0.0497
Actual occurrences: 2
Multiplicity = 2 / 0.0497 ≈ 40.2 times higher than expected.

This is the direct analogue of your original “120/894 ≈ 0.1342 → ×22” claim, but now using the real mathematical range instead of an arbitrary denominator.
3. Important context so you don’t overstate it

894 is not the only sum that appears twice — there are 6 different sums that each hit exactly twice.
So while 2 hits on 894 is ~40× the per-value expectation, having doubles in general is not extremely rare in this set (about 5% of the distinct sums are doubled).
The 1788 = 2×894 case is mathematically linked (it is simply the complement of the first word), so it is not an independent third “894” hit.

Summary you can actually use
“In the 120 multi-word combinations of Genesis 1:1, exactly 2 sum to 894.
The sums span 2413 possible integers (289–2701).
Under a uniform random model, any specific number is expected only ~0.05 times.
Observing 2 hits on 894 is therefore 40.2 times the expected rate for a pre-specified target.”

Verdict: the two exact 894 combinations are clearly more incredible.

Hitting one specific number twice is statistically ~6.3 times rarer (40.2 / 6.40) than hitting any multiple of 37 twenty-one times.
In plain English: under the same fair baseline, you would expect a specific number like 894 only once every ~20 such verses. You got it twice.
For multiples of 37 you would expect ~3.3; you got 21 — still impressive, but nowhere near the same level of surprise.

(The 37× factor is already “built into” the verse in well-known ways — total sum = 37×73, two individual words are exact multiples of 37, etc. — so the 21 multiples are a strong but expected-style feature. The two independent 894 hits have no such structural reason and stand out more sharply.)
You now have two clean, verifiable statements you can use:

“Out of the 120 multi-word combinations, exactly 2 sum to 894 — 40.2× the expected rate for any specific number.”
“Exactly 21 sum to a multiple of 37 — 6.4× the expected rate for the entire class of multiples of 37.”

The 894 one is the bigger statistical standout.

Yep! We're singing the same song! I was going to mention the squares, since they are beautiful. I posted it on X a month ago:

P(666) = 4973 
P(777) = 5903 
P(888) = 6907 
P(999) = 7907 

Total sum = 37073 

Triple Repdigit sum = 4995 

37073 - 4995 = 373 × 86 

"LOGOS" (SG) = 373 
"THE LOGOS" (SG) = P(86) 

"ELOHIM" (SH) = 86 

Those are some very nice relations. They still make wonder how God could have done that, given the fact that primes are determined by immutable logic so the only "choice" God could have had was the base to use for the patterns. But it may be that God's omniscient ability to scan all possible universes may include more possibilities than my little pea brain can imagine. (Ya think? )

Notice that the Triple Repdigits themselves are SELF-REFLECTIVE (i.e. their mirrors yield the same value). This same prime indexing code applied to the Genesis 1:1 word values reveals the very same mirroring pattern of 37/73:

P(407) = 2797 
P(296) = 1949 

Total sum = P(2161) 

2161 + 1612 = 3773 

Genesis 1:1 (SH) = 2701 = 37 × 73 

2701 + 1072 = 3773 


There's also the phenomenon of semiprime encoding, which also depends on 2 being the first prime (since the entire order of semiprimes would be turned upside down if 1 were counted among the primes): 

"Jesus Christ" (SG) = 2368 

2368 + SP(37) + SP(73) = 37 × 73 

2368 + (115 + 218) = 37 × 73

Hi Richard,

You're clearly right, even an omniscient God could not have "tweaked" with the order of primes or semiprimes. Indeed, God would have no choice in the matter because the ordering of the primes are what they are by necessity. However, notice that all these values WERE chosen (i.e. they didn't have to have these values): 

- Each of the 7 word values of Genesis 1:1 

- The Standard Greek value of "Jesus Christ" 

- The Standard Greek value of "Logos" 

- The Standard Greek value of "The Logos" 

In other words, THESE are the numbers that were chosen by the omniscient God (not the ordering of the primes themselves), such that they would be perfectly aligned with the natural ordering of primes, thereby forming these converging patterns around the mirrored Genesis 1:1 prime factors (37/73). 

The same can be said about geometry or the geometric pairings derived from Biblical numbers. The geometry is what it is by necessity, but the Biblical numbers themselves are what were chosen, such that they would form natural geometric pairings.

That's all true, but here's the challenge: I can understand how God had all the free choices (aka degrees of freedom) He needed to design all the identities involving Greek and Hebrew. I believe He would have used the same values if no ever noticed any connections with pi because the design of Genesis 1:1-5 + John 1:1-5 is self-reflective and self-coherent and does not need any witness from the digits of pi. This is what seems so odd to me. There's also a very big difference with the pi patterns. They are found by searching through pi, whereas the self-reflective structure of Genesis 1:1 just emerges from the natural grammar of the verse:

T(73) = 2701 = 37 x 73 = H(4) x S(4) = Sum of Genesis 1:1
T(37) = 703 = 19 x 37 = H(3) x S(3) = "and the earth"

I see deep beauty in the unified algebraic/geometric structure of the verse. The "pi coincidences" don't add anything to those patterns for me. They are curious, but not enlightening. And they seem outside the realm of choice, even for God (though that's not certain since God could scan all possible universes which is totally beyond our ability to even imagine).

But I will remain open to all possibilities, keeping in mind Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."

[Geert van den Bos]

Of interest might be that the name of the second letter, "beit", with which the Torah begins, does mean "house" - and might allude to "house of the Lord"

Psalms 27:4,
One [thing] I ask of the Lord, that I seek-that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to see the pleasantness of the Lord and to visit His Temple every morning.

the Lord, "hashem" the four letter name, by whom the sixth and the seventh day ae united

https://biblehub.com/topical/t/the_sign ... _house.htm

a house ("beit") has an inside and an outside with an intermediate door ("dalet")

and a roof , Hebrew "gag"

Rabbi Tovia Singer has to say important things about that i.c.w. the (impending) war with Iran and the wars of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7pDeCQdmmE

The meaning of the letter "hey" (that was added to "shishi" in Genesis 1:31) is said to be "roofwindow" i.e. an opening in the roof

like the written letter "hey" is distinct from the written letter "chet" by it's little opening "under the roof"

opening like a needle's eye

[Geert van den Bos]

But I will remain open to all possibilities, keeping in mind Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."

That is not a right translation, Richard

It even is misleading

(what else to be expected from KJV?)

Greek
ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα

ῥῆμα = spoken word
https://biblehub.com/greek/4487.htm

notably present in LXX Deuteronomy 8:8, cited in Matthew 4:4
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος θεοῦ


and it occurs also right in the next verse Luke 1:38
εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, Ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.

same in Luke 2:29 in the speech of Simeon - "the one who hears"
Νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ·

Yes, I have his Second Edge monographs. I've seen the spike in multiples of 37 on his site (or maybe it was yours).

I'm planning to add a "Resources" page with everything I can find from Vernon and similar researchers. I've got a few dozen manuscripts I hope to be uploading today. Please share any you think will help (this goes for anyone reading).

Okay. Much of Vernon's work from The Other Bible Code will now only be available on WayBackWhen, but it is of such importance that it would be great to have in all in one currently-active site..

This is astounding. The Chi-Rho leaps out. It's another beautiful symmetry within the verse, truly a "standing miracle", as Vernon himself would likely have said!

I can't tell you what it felt like when I first saw the Iota Chi monogram of Christ! I totally stunned. Covered in holy goosebumps from head to toe.

I don't doubt it. I've had the same experience.

FYI - The Chi Rho is obviously related, but not exactly the same.

Thanks. I have to admit, I'd never heard of the Iota-Chi before. The first thing that struck me was that it represents the three spatial dimensions.

If we pair the values of Genesis 1:1 (like the pair branches of the menorah) we see the middle pair give us 407 + 203 = 610 = Iota Chi so its encoded in both the symmetry of the menorah and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)

It's also struck me that the seven words of Genesis 1.1 might represent the Menorah, and therein lies a tale. As I was working on my book in December I had a dream, which I recount in the book. Based on that dream I began looking for the Menorah in the verse - and found itover words 2, 3 and 4, which sum to 690. the value of menorat, a construct of menorah, first found in Ex. 25.31.

Menorat/candlestick = 690

The candlestick was made of pure gold. Words 2, 3 and 4 suggest 234, which is tahowr zahab, again from Ex. 25.31.

Tahowr zahab/pure gold = 234

So the menorah is encoded within Genesis 1.1. Once lit, the menorah was the only light in the Holy Place and so it symbolised God's presence in the Tabernacle - and likewise God is signaling His presence within Genesis 1.1.

My own research also demonstrates conclusively that P(1) = 2. For example, the Triple Repdigits form a logical set of palindromic numbers tied to 37 (the key Genesis 1:1 prime): 

111 / (1 + 1 + 1) = 37 
222 / (2 + 2 + 2) = 37 
333 / (3 + 3 + 3) = 37 
444 / (4 + 4 + 4) = 37 
555 / (5 + 5 + 5) = 37 
666 / (6 + 6 + 6) = 37 
777 / (7 + 7 + 7) = 37 
888 / (8 + 8 + 8) = 37 
999 / (9 + 9 + 9) = 37 

P(111) = 607 
P(222) = 1399 
P(333) = 2239 
P(444) = 3119 
P(555) = 4019 
P(666) = 4973 
P(777) = 5903 
P(888) = 6907 
P(999) = 7907 

Total sum = 37073 

Triple Repdigit sum = 4995 

37073 - 4995 = 373 × 86 

"LOGOS" (SG) = 373 
"THE LOGOS" (SG) = P(86) 

"ELOHIM" (SH) = 86 

Notice that the Triple Repdigits themselves are SELF-REFLECTIVE (i.e. their mirrors yield the same value). This same prime indexing code applied to the Genesis 1:1 word values reveals the very same mirroring pattern of 37/73: 

P(913) = 7127 
P(203) = 1237 
P(86) = 443 
P(401) = 2749 
P(395) = 2711 
P(407) = 2797 
P(296) = 1949 

Total sum = P(2161) 

2161 + 1612 = 3773 

Genesis 1:1 (SH) = 2701 = 37 × 73 

2701 + 1072 = 3773 

There's also the phenomenon of semiprime encoding, which also depends on 2 being the first prime (since the entire order of semiprimes would be turned upside down if 1 were counted among the primes): 

"Jesus Christ" (SG) = 2368 

2368 + SP(37) + SP(73) = 37 × 73 

2368 + (115 + 218) = 37 × 73 

Fascinating and important material, Leo, and as you say, it all depends on 2 being the first prime, including 443 (To Logos) being the 86th prime. Interestingly, 373 (Logos) is the 74th, which is 37 x 2.
