And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ ...

Ephesians 4:11ff

One of the greatest joys of being a preacher and teacher of God's Word is to see the fruit of edification and encouragement in the lives of other believers. Below are a few of the responses I have received during the years since I first published the Bible Wheel on the internet on Februrary 11, 2001. Both the subject line and the text of all the messages posted below are exactly as I received them except for some ellipses (...) and some hyperlinks to articles on this site that may have been referenced in the message.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our God and Father for the incomparable gift He has given us in His Written Word. Any good thing on this site is a gift from Him. I am utterly indebted to His everlasting Grace, Mercy, Love, and Guidance. I hate to even mention myself, but due to the magnitude of the revelations, I feel I must remind the reader that none of this has anything to do with me. If left to myself, I doubtless would be dead or wandering lost in this dark and sinful world. I am nothing but a sinner saved by grace who has been blessed by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with the most wonderful task of proclaiming the Divine Glory of His Everlasting Word. It is of utmost importance to remember that any praise in the messages below is due solely and entirely unto the Lord God Almighty who has given this knowledge unto His children. Any praise misdirected towards me is really a praise of God who lifted me from the dunghill of my own corruption, cleansed me by the Blood of His Cross, filled me with His Holy Spirit, and equipped me to serve Him in the edification of His Body, the Church. I pray that everything posted on this site will bring glory to His Name, "the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God"! Amen.

Subject: The Beauty of God's Word Received 2/7/2002 What beauties the wheel contains, what wonderful symmetry the christian cannon has when viewed in this way. It has truly given me a heretofore unknown love for the sublime and eternal word of God. Thank you for your tremendous hard work (and well developed web site I might add), you have opened a wonderful door through which I can explore the wonders of "the Garden" of scripture. A thousand thanks and blessings upon you in this endeavour... Mark D.

Subject: Wow!! Received 11/22/2002 I have been hungering and thirsting for this kind of information. Your site is incredible. Forgive me if I am a little over enthusiastic but your site confirms many of the things I have discovered in my own study. Sometimes I have been unsure if what I was seeing was really there. But your site has given me the confirmation I have been looking for. Is there any way I could receive a wall chart of the bible wheel so I could put it on the wall of my study? Thanks for sharing the truths that you have discovered in God's Holy word. Your friend in Christ, Gus O.

Subject: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received 2/8/2003 "Wow!!! Wow!!! All I can say is WOW!!!" (Steve Martin, from The Jerk ... . But my sentiments too!) What a wonderful discovery! I feel so celebratory within my spirit for you - like I'm rejoicing with you that the experiences and cumulative knowledge, desires, and pursuits of your life have led to this discovery! Praise God for you and the gifts and talents he's given you that you've been faithful to search out, refine, and then give such a beautiful gift back to the body of Christ. I pray that many will discover this and be blessed, changed, and awed at our Lord through it. I am just astounded as I start to delve through this material ... to see some of the patterns that I've also personally "accidentally" discovered come together in such a logical, intricate design is just "blowing my mind." Now it further grounds my own revelations & theories because the links I had established as revealed to me through the Word by the Holy Spirit are also supported by "proof" of this type -- a mathematical genius extraordinaire -- the incredible awe-inspiring mind of God behind it all as an additional witness. And it inspires me to seek out some other personal links to see if they fit within the wheel's various structures. This makes revelation almost not revelation anymore - but I can't really put in words yet what that means to me! I have always loved His Word and the truths contained therein - and I've been in awe of His mysteries within creation, although I've had little understanding of the science behind it. Now I wish I had taken math and physics more seriously! And this certainly compels me to dive into that a bit more. This is so beautiful - elegant, indeed - you must have said "Eureka!" when it all came together! I can imagine Father God being so pleased to see you at that moment (or series of moments). It also reminds me of John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind" - you have discovered an "original idea." Kudos! (**doing cartwheels**). And you know what I really like about it all? ... the picture with you & your son - showing you're just an "average Joe" like the rest of us, and the humility woven between the words of your pages, and giving our Lord tremendous honor and glory throughout. And you didn't even go to seminary (what's up with that?? ;-0)...but you are contrite and humble of spirit - one who trembles at His Word -- at that's who He really uses! Yea God for choosing someone like you for this!!! I also love the integration with the arts - e.g. Blake's Tyger!, Tyger! reference and Zee's Fearful Symmetry notes ... . I believe you're pioneering in that manner, too ... well, actually redigging some old wells, but pioneering for our generations nonetheless! Wow. I believe this discovery at this time is a piece of evidence that we're in the time of the end Daniel predicted - with knowledge increasing & secrets revealed that have been hidden for ages. And it's a key -- that He's given you, and now us--a key to the kingdom ... because I sense there's so much to unlock through this. As I navigated through the pages, I was excited about it, but I also sensed there was much more awaiting behind it - for me personally, and for the body at large - like I'm right on the verge of an "aha" moment - beyond even the "aha" of the design - like there are blueprints, or something, within this, for building the church. Not to mention an excellent teaching and evangelistic tool. "It's the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to search it out"! (Proverbs 25:2). Wow. I would love to be a pioneer navigator through this - hopefully I can be involved in contribution in some way. I will see where this leads me, with time constraints and all (3 month old, 20 month old, 14 yr old, 15 yr old, ministry, etc., ... .!). I'll obey Him in whatever! Major blessings to you!! And thanks!!!! Deb Z.

Subject: Where no man has gone before Received 1/2/2002 What an awesome work you have accomplished through all of the revelation that you have discovered here! I am amazed at how the Lord's Word is so profound. I don't doubt for a minute that you have only scratched the surface as to all the Word of God has to show us!!! But you have definitely gone "where no man has gone before' so to speak!' Thank you very much for all of this EXCELLENT work! Michele K.

Subject: Your totally awesome website Received 9/5/2003 Hello Richard: Thank you so much for your awesome website. As a student of mathematics of 2-D and 3-D figurate numbers since I was a child, your site is an oasis of life in the vast internet desert of ignorance and mediocrity! It really is true that THE KEY (528) + LOVE (13) is the nation of ISRAEL (541)! And at the Heart of the nation of ISRAEL is LOVE the ONE (13) who is the GOD-MAN Messiah Yeshua!!! Words cannot describe the incredible joy I feel at finding your site and the incredible beauty of God's Word visually displayed in mathematical form. I do believe that we are moving into this new era characterized by the numbers 7 and 3. As the evangelist Jesse DuPlantis says, "Our God is too much"! A big Amen to that. Sincerely, Stephen E.

From the online Feedback Form Received 7/14/2004 I am overwhelmed and awed by your web-site. I have understood that there have been many connections and corelations within the word of God, but what I have found are as crayon drawings and filthy rags compared to the riches which you have set forth here. I am truly and exceedingly awed, words fail to express the impact of what you have revealed. What I am also overwhelmed by is the praise and glory that you give the the Lord our God. I know that what has been revealed is through God for no one can praise Him like this as a matter of form. I do not say these thiings because you need to hear them, but because I feel, in many ways, that this web site has been like meeting God Himself and I am still bowled over by it. I have nothiing to add to what you have been doing, but I also know, after reading your resume, that God also uses men and women of intelligence and intellect, not just base and foolish, and that gives me hope. This web site has and is truly a blessing and I look forward to spending time studying it. Thank you ~ you are indeed a well of refreshing in the desert. Deborah O.

Subject: The Bible Wheel Received 8/04/2004 Richard, What you have done is remarkable (well, okay - let's give all the credit to God and the Holy Spirit as we should...what He has revealed through you is REMARKABLE.) Thank you! Sharon P.

Subject: Your Website Received 8/9/2003 I just want to thank you for such a wonderful and interesting website. In Keyword I typed Passages in the Bible that have the number seven and your website came up as a link. I must say I found it very informative. Mrs. Nancy S.

Subject: AWESOME INSIGHT! Received 2/18/2002 WOW! AWESOME INSIGHT! PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOUR DETERMINATION TO STUDY AND KNOW THE SCRIPTURES!!! Todd B.

Subject: BibleWheel Site Received 1/8/2003 Awesome! Its just to browse your page almost as it is to study God's revelation! I've never seen nor heard of your views of the Word before until now and it so different and makes so much sense, it comforting to study. May God richly bless you and yours Dayeton L. PS: When your work is at a stage of completeness where you can conclude at a chapter or partition that would operate from a CD-ROM... let us know where we might be able to buy a copy!

From the online Feedback Form Received 10/24/05 Wow, I am so blessed. I love the revelation God has given you about the Biblewheel. I use it so much. It's so cool. For over a year I have, over and over again, received revelation about what God is doing in my own region-with much help from the Biblewheel. I love it soooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take notes during our prayer meetings and also of the messages preached on Sunday. It's awesome to hear and see what God is prophetically doing in timings and words He has for us here. Thank-you so much for all the work you have put into the Biblewheel and for making it available to us. I'm sorry I haven't Emailed you sooner. God bless Valerie R.

From the online Feedback Form Received 1/29/05 Richard, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because this site in itself is wonderful. I am looking at it all. My children are also in awe. Many blessings to you. Elizabeth C.

Subject: AWESOME!! Received 12/24/04 Your bible wheel is one of the most interesting things I have seen in quite a while. I have always loved the Word of God and have known for many years that there is a supernatural design to the bible. Your wheel is unlike anything I have ever seen before. It will be fascinating to explore the many ways this can be utilized to unlock the many wonders of God's written word. ... Thank you for making your fascinating discovery available for us to enjoy. Please notify me when your book is complete. God Bless. David A.

Subject: Bible Wheel Book? Received 12/24/04 Hi Richard; It is about 3:30 A.M... and I found your site, when I should have gone to bed at 11 pm. There is SO much to digest... and my spirit is on such a high... I wonder IF I will ever sleep! I was wondering about the Bible Wheel Book. Have you been able to get it published. I sure would like a copy of it!!! Brenda from Canada

Subject: thank you Received 1/23/04 Hello I cannot begin to tell you what your site did for my spirit. I thank Almighty God for His revealing to you and to you for putting this down so that I, an uneducated Grandma, can comprehend most of it. I do not have a printer, and so am copying parts, turning pages often and generally getting muddled. Do you have this material in a book or notes that I could purchase? the photo of you and son shine is indeed as I would expect you to be. Shalom
