indivisible, and by impl. exceedingly minute; ἐν ἀτόμῳ, i.e. χρόνῳ, in an indivisible point of time, in an instant or moment

Might it mean the same as ἐν ἀρχῇ ?

"In an inivisible moment of time was the word and the word was directed towards God and God was the word. This was in an indivisibel moment directed towards God"

Yes, correlation has always been there, It's so interesting, I just was revisiting the use of number related to YHVH name in hebrew =26 it's also 913 in another form with the use of my numbers 1529...
197+264+320+330+418.

400 + 10 + 8, 100 + 90 + 7, 200 + 60 + 4, 300 + 20, + 300 + 30 = 1529

If we take big numbers like tav =400 + next one big number to form 418...
קץז רסד שכ של תיח it give you that correlation, I haven't find any correlation for the letters use at this point of time.
= 197 ordinal value (45th prime number)
197 is also gematria shemi of קץז

3139 gematria shemi, or 43 * 73
2701 if we subtract 18, or 6 * 73… from 400 + 10 + 8 in shemi by transformation…but no correlation actually with genesis 1:1 I'm still searching!
157 (37th prime number) in ordinal from the given names 1111.

Just the usual name/first name = 1201 shemi, or the 197th prime number from 615 gematria (normal=197+418)
Where 1201 corresponds to the position of the center of gravity of 2701 within an isosceles right triangle (73 points), counting from any vertex towards the center. The center of gravity is analogous to the center of gravity or equilibrium point of a triangle.

197+264+320+330+418=1529
56+109+112+390+505=1172
GRAND TOTAL 2701.

17+12+5+6+13 reduced > 1+7+1+2+5+6+1+3=26 YHWH=26
bereshit in another form given in shemi gematria by the numebrs transform to equivalent in hebrew letters:
26std_hebrew > 913shemi=> 1+7+1+2+5+6+1+3=913= אזאבהואג ...by the letters in hebrew gematria.

One correlation i like very much:

1*7*1*2*5*6*1*3=1260 just as 1*5*2*9*1*1*7*2=1260
1260-913=347
347 number first appearance at 1092nd digit followed by 913 number...

1529-1172=357 famously known by the free-masons when they put numbers between sun and moon but I'm not here for that thinhg.

Even 2 is unique in that it is even, setting apart from every other prime. Geometrically 1 and 2 are the only non-figurate numbers, unless you count digons as figurate. 1 begins every sequence of figurate numbers, but is of course formless, every figure and none, a symbol of Unity and Divine potential.

The number 2 is the only even prime, which make it odd relative to the other primes.

I think it is also significant that nearly all the fundamental numbers that can be extracted from Genesis 1.1, 2701, 37, 73, 28, 298, 82, etc, can be reduced to 1 by cross adding the digits until only a single digit is left.

So 2701 gives 2 + 7 + 0 + 1 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1.

The number 1 has honors enough in Genesis 1.1 and in mathematics and doesn't require to be added to the list of primes!

I agree. The digital sums related to Genesis 1:1 nicely reflect its singular nature as the all encompassing declaration of God's creation of all things in the first verse of the first chapter of the first book. The verse is a divine number theoretic jewel on many different levels.

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

The digital sum of each of those numbers is unity. As an aside, this is an example of the nested self-similarity of Genesis 1:1. It's a triangle within a triangle, where the triangles are products of consecutive hex/star pairs H(n) x S(n) which are themselves generated by self-intersection of the 7th and 10th triangles T(7) = 28 and T(10) = 55. The latter is particularly intriguing because everything reduces to 1:

1 = d(10) = d(T(10)) = d(55) = d(37) = d(73) = d(2701)

This all follows from the fact that the digital sum of a product ab is the same as the digital sum of the product of the digital sums of a and b, i.e.

d(ab) = d((d(a) x d(b))

Therefore: if d(a) = 1 and d(b) = 1 then d(ab) = 1.

I think it's important to use proper mathematical notation like d(2701) = 1 rather than "2701 = 1" as many do. Otherwise, the meaning of the equal sign becomes ambiguous, which is a fundamental violation of mathematical aesthetics which delights in precision, accuracy and truth. Any discussion of divine mathematics must honor God through total devotion to truth.

And on that note, let us dive deep into what digital roots are "really all about" from a mathematical perspective. The digital root is really a ring homomorphism from the integers ℤ to the integers mod 9

d: ℤ → ℤ/9ℤ given by d(n) = n mod 9

The digital root d(n) is the canonical projection, aka "reduction modulo 9". It is a ring homomorphism because it has the following properties:

• Additive: d(a + b) = (a + b) mod 9 = (a mod 9 + b mod 9) mod 9 = d(a) + d(b)
• Multiplicative: d(a × b) = (a × b) mod 9 = (a mod 9 × b mod 9) mod 9 = d(a) × d(b)
• Preserves 1 (the multiplicative identity): d(1) = 1
• Preserves 0: d(0) = 0

I'm bringing this up because we need to understand the ℤ/nℤ notation to study the modular structure of Genesis 1:1. When n is prime, ℤ/nℤ becomes a mathematical field, which mean it also has inverses (unlike a typical ring). God designed Genesis 1:1 using the modular field ℤ/37ℤ. It is common knowledge that Genesis 1:1 is very unusual because it has a very large number of subsets of the seven word values that sum to multiples of 37. There are 127 possible combinations of the seven words of Genesis 1:1. To find 23 that are multiples of 37 (i.e. congruent to 0 mod 37) is exceedingly unusual. Here's the graph from my page on the Number 37: The Heart of Wisdom:

I believe Vernon Jenkins, the great pioneer of Biblical mathematics, was the first to publish this fact in his booklet The Second Edge (available on my site here).

In another publication called Genesis 1:1 - The Parametric Equations and Beyond, Vernon parameterized the values in Genesis 1:1 using this equation: 37n + 6k

His results were astounding. He parameterized all the values and reveals an underlying modular structure (though he didn't mention that fact):

On New Years Eve last year, the Lord led me to expand Vernon's analysis using a Discrete Fourier Transform, which revealed an underlying unity to the entire set of 127 sums derived from the seven words. With a random set, the numbers would be uniformly distributed across all 37 possible residues (remainders mod 37). The vertical spike at 0 mod 37 represents the 23 values divisible by 37. The other arms represent the residues of the other sums. They are obviously NOT random as would be expected by a random set.

They are highly constrained and there is a mathematical theorem called Ruzsa's Theory which says "if the sumset is small and symmetric, the set must be arithmetic-progression-like."

Here's Grok's explanation:

Here is a compact explanation of **the Iota Chi** and **Ruzsa's theorem** in the context of Genesis 1:1:

### Iota Chi
The Iota Chi (ΙΧ) is the striking **cross-like pattern** that appears when you perform a **discrete Fourier transform (DFT)** on the seven gematria values of Genesis 1:1 reduced modulo 37.

- The residues are {25, 18, 12, 31, 25, 0, 0}.
- The DFT computes how well these points align at each frequency k = 0 to 36 on the unit circle (using 37th roots of unity ω = e^{2πi/37}).
- The resulting magnitude spectrum |F(k)| forms a **vertical spike** (strong k=0 component) crossed by **diagonal arms** (symmetric peaks at paired frequencies k and 37−k).
- Visually, this superimposes the Greek letters Ι (vertical Iota) and Χ (diagonal Chi), the ancient monogram for **Χριστός** (Christ).
- The pattern arises because the residues are highly structured (duplicates, zeros, multiples of 6), confining most energy to a few dominant Fourier modes rather than spreading uniformly.

In short: the Iota Chi is the **visual signature** of the verse’s numerical harmony projected onto the cyclic group ℤ/37ℤ via Fourier analysis.

### Ruzsa's Theorem
Ruzsa's theorem (and related inverse results) is a cornerstone of **additive combinatorics**. One of its key forms states:

**If a finite set A in an abelian group has a small difference set |A − A| ≤ K |A|, then A is contained in a generalized arithmetic progression of bounded dimension and size depending only on K.**

- In Genesis 1:1, the difference set A − A has size 11 (the 11 occupied residues mod 37), while |A| = 7 → K ≈ 1.57 (very small).
- Ruzsa's theorem therefore predicts that A must be **highly structured** — specifically, close to an arithmetic progression.
- Indeed, the residues {0, 0, 12, 18, 25, 25, 31} lie almost entirely on the arithmetic progression with difference 6: {…, −18, −12, −6, 0, 6, 12, 18, …} mod 37.
- This structure explains the **sparsity** (only 11 occupied residues) and the **symmetry** (S = −S) of the subset sums, which in turn produce the sharp, concentrated Iota Chi spectrum.

In essence:
Ruzsa's theorem tells us why the subset sums are so sparse and symmetric — the generating set A is forced to be almost an arithmetic progression — and that low-dimensional structure is exactly what concentrates the Fourier energy into the cross-shaped Iota Chi pattern.

Together, they form a beautiful loop: inverse additive combinatorics explains the structure of the sumset, which explains the Fourier spectrum, which reveals the Christ monogram. A remarkable convergence from one verse.

To find 23 that are multiples of 37 (i.e. congruent to 0 mod 37) is exceedingly unusual.

1.“God and Aleph Tav” = 894
2.“created the heaven the earth” = 894
3.“God created the heaven and the earth” = 2x 894
The expected rate of word combinations made up of 894 (7+37+73+777) in this verse is 120/894 ≈ 0.1342.
Finding three combinations made up of 894 is right over x22 times the expected rate!
1342 = 1000 + perimeter added of Triangles ordered at 7, 37 & 73 --- 22 = Pri-o(73 “wisdom” חכמה)

Hi Alex,

How are you calculating those values? It would help a lot if you explained or at least posted a link to your explanation. I thought you might be using English gematria, but that gives “God and Aleph Tav” = 841 and "created the heaven the earth" = 1507 (standard values). Of course, you were free to add another "and" between Aleph and Tav to get "God and Aleph and Tav" in which case the value is 896 (very close! But now cigar). This is why I doubt such cherry picking brings any glory to God. He doesn't seem to be involved with it at all. Anyone can find anything they want if they use a dozen different gematria methods plus arbitrary phrases like "God and Aleph Tav" not found in the Bible.

Now as for your statistical claim that "Finding three combinations made up of 894 is right over x22 times the expected rate!" That's not true. There is no "expected rate" for finding numerical values of arbitrary phrases like "God and Aleph Tav". But you can do statistics on the words given in the KJV like the second two examples, but to do that, I'd need to know your methods of gematria that gave those values. Please share them.

Great chatting! Thanks for throwing some grist into my mill.

Yeah it was copy-paste from my book and it's more obvious there that it is in Hebrew Gen 1:1

אלהים ואת את "God and Aleph Tav" = 7+37+73+777
ברא השמים הארץ "created the heaven the earth" = 7+37+73+777
ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ "God created the heaven and the earth" = 2x(7+37+73+777)
The expected rate of word combinations made up of 894 (7+37+73+777) in this verse is 120/894 ≈ 0.1342.
Finding three combinations made up of 894 is right over x22 times the expected rate!
1342 = 1000 + perimeter added of Triangles ordered at 7, 37 & 73 --- 22 = Pri-o(73 “wisdom” חכמה)

Now I am not 100% sure if the x22 part is correct as 894 is not prime. That is really the only thing that can make this finding invalid.
I checked with Gemini and it straight up reject this way of finding the expected rate. It requires a "large-scale statistical simulation".
So it is good that I never focused too much on word combinations and the expected outcome in my book.
But I would love to hear your judgment on this.

For me, we can't build all numbers (of genesis) taking 1 as first prime as it is an isolated number in the creation patterns of genesis and so: life in general it's all start with a beth, or bereshit...
I know also, aleph +1, is a big "deal" for some who are fans of adding a kolel to everything to reveal some so called, essence but I dislike this point of view.

It's like if I suppressed from 2701 1 to each digit it give you 1690, +1 to each digit, it's 3812. and we can't verify this useful use/valdiate.. in pi as pi is related to Yhwh formulation.

residues total: 25+18+12+31+25=111...that's interesting for me^^ אָלֶף=aleph lamed peh. or 1 if you prefer!
i'll study the work of Vernon Jenkins again, especially if it speaks of DFT, I wasn't aware of that!

Is all build from nothing or "one only"?
It's like taking two numbers but not randomly select...:
1529 minus 1 each digit = 0418 1172 minus 1 each digit =0061= אָנִי all or nothing...61+418=479 prime number, gematria of HaDaat ...הדעת or 4+7+9 reduced =2+0=2. in wisdom he created the world it's how it is related by these numbers...
if we add +1 to 2701 =3812 composed of 3 primes 2*2*953 primes.

if we add +1 to 1529=2640, for 1172= 2283 no serious correlation of these numbers to used it...
i prefer the first methodic and realist point of view: there is nothing so hidden, God speak in numbers and parabales but if numbers need to be "changed" there is a big problem!

As you talk about Vernon Jenkins great work:
I can't find the works of Vernon Jenkins about gematria number 3139 and related to abram and abraham page on the web, I supposed it was him but i don't remember well, it was on a .nl website, if you can help me on this point?

[girardlys]

I find it again:
https://bijbelcode.nl/index.htm it wasn't vernon website...

I think you can find other information about 37n + 6k and it's use.

https://bijbelcode.nl/abramabraham.htm
https://bijbelcode.nl/Wortel_5_en_phi.htm

in his calculations about numbers and gematria he found (gematria of genesis 17:5)
about 3139 and 6*73 + 37*73
3139=2701+438 where the use of 438 or 6*37 is justified by בית יהוה or house of yhwh I find this information so precious.

For my own reminder...
write this down, here, sorry. (at least it won't be wasted)
קץז רסד שכ של תיח
3139 gematria shemi: 43*73
2701 if we substract "18", 6*73…of 400+10+8 in shemi_gematria by transformation…
and yet it was by number 1529=530 or 53, 1+9+7+2+6+4+3+2+3+3+4+1+8 where 53 is P17.

In another publication called Genesis 1:1 - The Parametric Equations and Beyond, Vernon parameterized the values in Genesis 1:1 using this equation: 37n + 6k

His results were astounding. He parameterized all the values and reveals an underlying modular structure (though he didn't mention that fact):

Yes, I'm familiar with it. It's another improbable structure within the verse. Vernon laid the foundations for much later work, which I see below you have built upon!

On New Years Eve last year, the Lord led me to expand Vernon's analysis using a Discrete Fourier Transform, which revealed an underlying unity to the entire set of 127 sums derived from the seven words. With a random set, the numbers would be uniformly distributed across all 37 possible residues (remainders mod 37). The vertical spike at 0 mod 37 represents the 23 values divisible by 37. The other arms represent the residues of the other sums. They are obviously NOT random as would be expected by a random set.

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!

They are highly constrained and there is a mathematical theorem called Ruzsa's Theory which says "if the sumset is small and symmetric, the set must be arithmetic-progression-like."

Here's Grok's explanation:

Here is a compact explanation of **the Iota Chi** and **Ruzsa's theorem** in the context of Genesis 1:1:

### Iota Chi
The Iota Chi (ΙΧ) is the striking **cross-like pattern** that appears when you perform a **discrete Fourier transform (DFT)** on the seven gematria values of Genesis 1:1 reduced modulo 37.

- The residues are {25, 18, 12, 31, 25, 0, 0}.
- The DFT computes how well these points align at each frequency k = 0 to 36 on the unit circle (using 37th roots of unity ω = e^{2πi/37}).

e^{2πi/37}) This is derived from Euler's famous identity: e^πi = -1, yes?

The resulting magnitude spectrum |F(k)| forms a **vertical spike** (strong k=0 component) crossed by **diagonal arms** (symmetric peaks at paired frequencies k and 37−k).
- Visually, this superimposes the Greek letters Ι (vertical Iota) and Χ (diagonal Chi), the ancient monogram for **Χριστός** (Christ).
- The pattern arises because the residues are highly structured (duplicates, zeros, multiples of 6), confining most energy to a few dominant Fourier modes rather than spreading uniformly.

In short: the Iota Chi is the **visual signature** of the verse’s numerical harmony projected onto the cyclic group ℤ/37ℤ via Fourier analysis.

Yes! I can see that. And all in verse written 500 years before The Incarnation. This is a glimpse into the Mind of God, supremely logical and reminiscent of Plato's realm of Ideal Forms in fact. At this level it is beyond the manipulations of men and is pure, pristine and as beautiful and intricate as a snow crystal.

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).

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.

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

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)

And here's an ancient ring from Smyna with the Iota Chi (I think it's second or third century)

Exactly! It's call the 37th root of Unity! UNITY! GOD created everything as ONE. Genesis 1:1 is a direct revelation from the mathematically perfect Mind of God. There is no end to the glory revealed in it.

Yep! The hexagonal structure is in both the surface text of Genesis (six days of creation, surrounding the seven unmoving day of rest) and in the underlying alphanumeric structure (Iota Chi) monogram of Jesus Christ and AGAIN in the projection of our 3D coordinate system onto 2D:

And this is just a hint of what God encoded in His Word. Just a hint! I can't wait to share more! Praise God now and forever! Let your heart rejoice in the glory of His Word!
