The Bible Wheel forum is where its at! (July 25, 2007)
I don't think I'll be updating this page anymore. All the activity is happening on the Bible Wheel forum.
The Bible Wheel Forum is growing fast! (June 9, 2007)
Come on over. Don't be shy. The forum is free to use and
registration is simple and fast.
Don't underestimate the value of your contribution. All kinds of voices are needed, and all kinds of voices are welcome,
believer's and unbelievers alike! The only requirement is mutual respect and common sense.
The Bible Wheel Forum is now Online! (June 4, 2007)
I just got the forum software yesterday, so there are many things I need to do to get its "look and feel" set up. But it is
fully functional and ready for discussion. It is an open forum, all are free to join. Here's the
link.
Encouraging letter from a Reader (5/24/2007)
Praise be to God who imparted in you such kind of understanding. The Bible Wheel is phenomenal!
I am amazed at the degree of completeness and accuracy God's word reveals when seen from the "realm of heavens" perspective.
I have always been convinced of a unity in God's word that the self-centered or unspiritual man seldom never grasps.
Your work is a scourge to theological mediocrity, and a parable to those that always seek to find a reason to
disclaim God's word or to misconceive it. It traverses natural conception of time, space and event because,
rather than depend on history, it shows God's eternal purpose, the Divine cause of/for things,
dispensational unfoldings, and the consummation of it. The Bible Wheel, like a spectrogram, brings forth
a dimension of God's word that is not common to our traditional, rudimentary thinking. Deut29:29 shows that
God encrypts his [Will] mind [within LOGOS], so that by his Spirit, the illumination and resounding of His will,
is harmoniously and straight forwardly dispensed into the hearts of his covenant-sealed people.
You have given us a valuable substance that, besides showing the greatness of God's wisdom, also demonstrates
that the veil [that mystified Him] in the temple was truly torn apart [as reflected in the Spirit Born] through
the mediation of Christ. Althgough some parts are very complex, I hope to give some review [as a layman]
as I learn more. For now, God's grace abound to you. You have my prayers. In Christ, Shallom. David E.

All praise to God who has given us His most excellent Word!
A new Repunit Theorem (5/20/07)
For many years I have had a nagging intuition that there was some fundamental connection between the Holographic Generating Set
and repdigits such as 111, 888, 99999999. I am happy to announce that my hunch proved to be correct.
You can read about the many amazing connections in my new article Repdigits and the Holographic Generating Set.
The article also includes a new Repunit theorem. Here is the proof and the story of how I discovered it.
I was reading a message  on the Fivedoves site
by Ian Mallet who noted an interesting property of the Number 37 which he explained as follows:
Some years ago, I made
an amazing discovery concerning the number 37,
the key number of Genesis 1:1 and of the names of Jesus Christ. I found that any multiple of
37 can be split into two separate numbers and then
if each new number is cubed and both results are added together, the result is
still a multiple of 37. For example,
let's look at the number 37 itself: The
number 37 splits into 3 and 7. Cubing the
figure 3 (3 x 3 x 3) results in 27 and cubing the figure 7 (7 x 7 x 7) results
in 343. The sum of 27 + 343 is 370 or 10 x 37. This works for all numbers having a factor of
37.
Ian's discovery intrigued me, so I wrote a quick little bit of computer code to test his assertion.
And while I was at it, I thought I would see if the same pattern would work with other numbers and other powers.
The results were quite surprising. I found that the same pattern worked for all multiples of 41 with the 5th power,
and all multiples of 53 with the 13th power. Since I had been meditating on repdigits for a number of years,
I immediately recognized these numbers as
prime factors of repunits with the power
corresponding to the length of the repunit:
R3 = 111 = 37 x 3
R5 = 11111 = 41 x 271
R13 = 1111111111111 = 53 x 20964360587
The hypothesis then states that:
37 divides R3 so 37 also divides 33 + 73 = 370 = 37 x 10
41 divides R5 so 41 also divides 45 + 15 = 1025 = 41 x 25
53 divides R13 so 53 also divides 513 + 313 = 1222297448 = 53 x 23062216
I tested my hypothesis with the free online GMP software that computes number theoretic
functions for integers of arbitrary length.
The hypothesis tested true for any multiples of repunit divisors, such as 6519 = 123 x 53.
Here are the three possible splits:
| 613 + 51913 = | 53 x 3740242686654128652727975169311275 |
| 6513 + 1913 = | 53 x 6975860965185939625428 |
| 65113 + 913 = | 53 x 71166725190969215362417677468826260 |
Alternately, we could use the fact that 123 is a multiple of 41 which divides
R5 and test the hypothesis for that pair:
| 65 + 5195 = | 41 x 918444531375 |
| 655 + 195 = | 41 x 28360164 |
| 6515 + 95 = | 41 x 2851813275300 |
A similar pattern works for repunits with an even number of digits, the only difference being that we
need to subtract rather than add the exponentiated parts.
For example, 137 divides R8.
Here are the three ways to split its multiple 3699 = 27 x 137:
| 38 - 6998 = | -137 x 416003360415093472320 |
| 368 - 998 = | -137 x 67333035287385 |
| 3698 - 98 = | 137 x 2508940500319632960 |
I continued testing the hypothesis with very large numbers and found it always worked.
I shared my idea with a friend Bruno Curfs, and he noted that we could attain a very simple proof
if we wrote the number to be split in the form y = a10k + b.
Theorem: Suppose d divides Rn. Let y = md be any multiple of d.
Write y = a10k + b, with 0 < k < log10(y).
For example, if y = 2368, and k = 2, then a = 23 and b= 68.
The theorem asserts: an - (-b)n = 0 mod d.
Proof:
From the definition of y we have: (y - b)n = an10nk mod d.
Now by assumption, d divides Rn = (10n - 1)/9 so 10n = 1 mod d.
Therefore an10nk = an mod d and we have (y - b)n = an mod d.
Using the Binomial Theorem
we find (y - b)n = yP(y,b) + (-b)n where P(y,b) is an integer polynomial
made up of Binomial Coefficients and powers of y and b.
Therefore an = (y - b)n = yP(y,b) + (-b)n = (-b)n mod d, and we have the result desired.
QED
This proof can be easily extended to any base. I am not certain if this is a new theorem. It could exist somewhere in the
vast realm of mathematical literature, but if so, I have never seen it. In any case, it shows how the study of the alphanumeric
structure of Scripture can lead to new mathematical insights. Praise God, our Guide and Teacher!
Interesting Floor Plan (3/20/2007)
A reader sent me a link to this floor plan of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as it was described by the
Jerusalem Pilgrim known as the Bishop Arculf in the seventh century.
You can read about it here .
Of particular interest is the correspondence between the architecture and the Bible Wheel. Both are based on
a pattern of three concentric circles, with the symmetry broken at three (not four) points.
The three altars correspond to the three rays of the Bible Wheel, and both echo the
traditional tri-radiant cruciform halo used in ancient Christian iconography (as shown on the banner bar above). Here is
Arculf's description of the ancient sanctuary (emphasis added):
And certainly this very great Church, the whole of which is of stone,
was formed of marvellous roundness in every part, rising up from the foundations in three walls,
which have one roof at a lofty elevation having a broad pathway between each wall and the next;
there are also three altars in three dexterously formed places of the middle wall.
This round and very large church, with the above-mentioned altars, looking one to the south,
another to the north, a third towards the west, is supported by twelve stone columns of marvellous size.
This is a good example of how humans use geometry to convey theological truth. There can be little doubt that the three
circles and three outer altars were meant to suggest the doctrine of the Trinity, one of the most fundamental doctrines of
the Christian Faith. Furthermore, the cruciform pattern recalls the Cross and the fundamental doctrine of the Work of Redemption
wrought by Christ. The pattern exhibits an extremely profound theology of the Cross, the Trinity, and the Deity of Christ.
Now it is extremely important not to misunderstand this correspondence. Nobody is suggesting that the architect of the
church had the Bible Wheel in mind. On the contrary, I would be shocked to find that the pattern was explictly known back then, since there
is no record of it before its discovery in 1995 AD. The implications flowing from this correspondence run much deeper than a
conscious human choice. We have a threefold convergence of 1) the fundamental theological doctrines
the Cross, the Trinity, and the Deity of Christ, 2) the architectural design of the the Church which is also known as
the "House of God", and 3) the geometric design of the Word - also a kind of "House" of God - in the form of the Bible Wheel.
This shows that God designed the Bible as a great masterpiece of theological art (see
ART > For Glory and for Beauty).
Of course, the same tri-radiant pattern is displayed in Ezekiel's prophetic Temple,
which was designed by God as a prophecy of pattern of
His Word - which is His "House" - in the form of the Bible Wheel. Whether or not the architect of the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre consciously designed that building on the tri-radiant pattern of Ezkeiel's temple I do not know, but I do know that
the convergence of all of these theological ideas and geometric patterns goes well beyond any possibility of "mere coincidence."

website and would like to meet for coffee, give me a call on my Bible Wheel Mininstries phone line: 509-961-0911. Also, I brought a bunch of books with me, so
if you live in the Seattle area and would like an autographed copy and a conversation with the author give me a call. Meeting my readers is a real joy.
Wheels within Wheels: Isaiah 42 linksymbol Book 42 (Luke) (1/9/2007)
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth,
ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit:
let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Isaiah 42:10-12 (Inner Wheel: Spoke 20, Cycle 2)
I'll be in my old home town of Seattle for a couple days, doing some research in the many theological libraries there - many more
than Yakima, anyway. I'm currently digging into the formation of the Canon. I managed to put out one article today before leaving (it's now
8:11 AM, and I wanted to leave by 8:00 AM). Its on the correlation between Book 42 (Luke) and Isaiah 42 based on the
verse "Sing unto the LORD a new song" (Isa 42:10). Luke's Gospel is famous, of course, for the
five songs he gave to the body of Christ, such as the Magnificat and Gloria in Excelsis.
Farar called him "the first Christian hymnologist." The image is from the CD cover of
"An Oratorio Based on the Infancy Narrative of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke" by
Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam which also explains his
inspiration as follows:
Cyprian has created a brilliant new musical setting of Luke’s familiar infancy narrative.
"What I have always loved about the Gospel of Luke," he explains in the program notes,
"is that everyone seems to burst into song. There is a tradition that Luke may
have been an artist, perhaps even the first iconographer, since he paints such stunning tableaus with
his words, but most assuredly he was a poet and singer. That was my first inspiration to
write The Song of Luke."
Here is the article.

Fulfillment of Ezekiel's Prophecy of a "Wheel within a Wheel" (1/4/2007)
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims,
one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the
colour of a beryl stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness,
as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:9ff
Ezekiel's Vision interpreted as the Old and New
Testaments by Fra Angelico (1455 AD) |
The study of
the Bible Wheel has yielded a continuous outpouring of new insights into Holy Scripture nearly every day since I
first discoverd it in 1995. One
of the most stunning discoveries came while I was completing Part III of the Bible Wheel book
called "The Divine Seal and Capstone of the Holy Bible." While researching how previous scholars had interpreted
Ezekiel's vision of the wheels, I stumbled upon an interpretation of his vision painted by
Fra Agelico in the year 1455 AD. I was stunned. The
idea that Ezekiel's Wheels represented the two Testaments was not new. Not by a long shot.
I quickly was able to confirm that the Latin
text on the upper left scroll in the image was from Ezekiel 1 in the Vulgate, and that the two rims were inscribed with the text of Genesis 1:1-5 and
John 1:1-3. But I was stumped by the scroll on the upper right. I maginified the
text and sent it to a few Latin scholars but received no replies, except one that said he couldn't read it. So I
drove 150 miles to the University of Washington in Seattle and searched through various libraries until I found a commentary
in an old book in the Art department that noted the text was from
the Homilies on Ezekiel written by
Gregory the Great (the Bishop of Rome) in the year 593 AD.
Unfortunately, the book did not translate the text, which I felt compelled to include in the Bible Wheel book. So the search
continued, and I found a copy of the Homilies in an Orthodox Church in Seattle. So I took another drive across the
mountains and I finally had all the documentation I needed for the book.
Here is what Gregory wrote some fourteen hundred years ago concerning the "wheel within the wheel" of
Ezekiel's vision:
The wheel within the wheel is, as we said, the New Testament within the Old Testament,
because what the Old Testament defined the New Testament showed forth. ... Therefore, the wheel is in the midst of
a wheel because the New Testament is encompassed by the Old. And, as we have often said already,
what the Old Testament promised the New showed forth, and what the one covertly announced the other openly
proclaimed manifest. Therefore, the Old Testament is the prophecy of the New, and the New is the exposition of the Old.
Gregory wrote in the sixth century, and Fra Angelico painted his picture in the fifteenth. That's a span of about
nine hundred years. This means that we have an ancient and long-lived tradition that identifies the "wheel within a wheel"
with the Bible, and we now see Ezekiel's prophecy fulfilled right here before our eyes in the Bible Wheel.
See Fulfillment of Ezekiel's Prophecy of the Wheels for a more complete discussion of
Fra Angelico's art and Gregory's comments.
New Format for the Inner Wheels and Cycles
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims,
one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was
as the colour of a beryl stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness,
as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:9ff (Spoke 4, Cycle 2)
One of the most challenging (and endlessly fascinating!) aspects of the Bible Wheel is the study of the
Inner Wheels and Inner Cycles. The problem is that it is very easy to lose track of which
level of structure is being discussed. I have therefore begun doubly marking all the Inner Wheel and Inner Cycle
articles with an icon on the upper left and right of the page. The icons are hyperlinked to a new introduction
I have written on the subject called, appropriately enough, Inner Wheels and Alphabetic Cycles.
The Inner Wheel articles are therefore easily distinguished
from the Spoke articles, which are marked in the upper right corner with a Bible Wheel that has the corresponding
Spoke highlighted, as shown here for Spoke 1.
Yet more on the Spoke 8 link between Chet and Amos (1/2/2007)
The LORD hath purposed (chashav) to destroy the wall (chomah) of the daughter of Zion:
he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he
made the rampart and the wall (chomah) to lament; they languished together.
AV Lamentations 2:8
More
than six months after writing the two articles - Fire on the Walls and
The Lord Standing upon a Wall -
about the emphasis on walls in Amos, I reviewed the Chet Verse of AV Lamentations 2:8 and found to my surprise (and delight) that the
primary KeyWord at the beginning of the verse - chashav (to purpose) - is
followed by two occur- rences of the secondary Chet KeyWord chomah (wall). This phenomenon of two KeyWords in
a single Alphabetic Verse is common, as seen, for example, in the Peh Alphabetic Verses.
The fact that I wrote the Synopsis of Spoke 8 in the Bible Wheel book without noting this extremely obvious correlation
only goes to show how huge the task really is. It also shows how the whole process of learning the Bible Wheel goes in
layered cycles. One first needs a basic overview to get the "big picture." This involves studying the whole Bible.
Then you go over it all again, and notice connections that you
couldn't see before. And then you do it all over again, now discovering many features to be obvious that once were completely
invisible. And so it goes as we dive ever deeper into the never-ending tapestry of Divine Wisdom that God has given
us in His Holy Word.
Also, if you are watching TV in eastern Washington tomorrow morning, you can catch me talking about the
Bible Wheel at 5:15, 5:45, 6:15, and 6:45 AM on Kapp 35 TV.
Here's a pic from the Book Signing at Borders
That's my wife Rose and me in Borders. Note the open Bible. We have a great time sharing the Word of God.
Happy New Year! (1/1/2007 11:17 PM)
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:5
I have a wonderful sense of this upcoming year! So much is happening. Many doors are opening for the proclamation of
the glory of God's Word and Gospel. The book-signing at Borders went very well. Border's bought 20 copies and we sold
13 of them while I was there. I met many wonderful brother's and sisters in
Christ who rejoiced to see a little more of the wonder of God's Word, and to hear it proclaimed so boldly in a secular bookstore.
My favorite comment, which I heard more than once, was "This makes so much sense!"
Many folks expressed interest in a weekly study of the Bible Wheel. We are deciding on the schedule right now. It will be
either Friday or Saturday evening, from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. Send me an email with the time you would prefer. Only those who vote will
have a voice. (There's a lesson in that, I think.)
A reader from Seattle began a blog today for study of the Bible Wheel - you can find it here:
http://biblewheelstudy.blogspot.com/ .
I plan on frequently answering questions on her blog, and will use the input I get there to
help me understand what updates are needed on this site.
I updated the Spoke 8 article called The Lord Standing on a Wall
with an old woodcut depicting Amos 7:7. I had been searching for such images for a long time because
I was really struck by the "coincidence" of the vision (unique in all the Bible) of the
Lord standing on the Chet KeyWord Chomah (Wall) on Spoke 8. Here's one of the images I found:
Well, that's it for the first day of the New Year. I need to get some sleep. A local TV station (KAPP 35) saw the article in
the Yakima Valley Business Times and invited me to present the Bible Wheel on their morning show. So I'm going in for an interview tomorrow,
and the show will be Wednesday morning (1/3/07). Please pray as the Lord leads! Many doors are opening.
Book Review in the Yakima Herald-Republic (12/30/06 8:35 AM)
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isaiah 40:9
Once again, I am freshly amazed at the simplicity and beauty of God's Word. The reporter Adriana Janovich, who interviewed me
only once for about an hour, did an excellent job. She fully captured the surprising simplicity and amazing grace of
the divine design of the Holy Bible.
The full article can be read on the
Yakima Herald-Republic website. Here is a digital shot of
the front page of the printed edition to give a sense of layout that is missing from the online version. Readers in the
greater Yakima area are invited to the book signing at Borders bookstore at 1700 East Washington Ave, Union Gap,
today and tomorrow, 12:00 - 4:00 PM.
So why did Gabriel strike Zacharias dumb? (12/29/06 8:32 PM)
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. And the angel answering said unto him,
I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,
until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words,
which shall be fulfilled in their season. ...................................................................................Luke 1:18-20
Gabriel speaking to Zacharias in the Temple |
I was walking this afternoon with my wife Rose on our usual three-mile loop
and we were talking about why I had suffered such a serious writer's block and I half-jokingly suggested it was to keep me from
writing things I might later regret (because of my great frustration with the godless behaviour of some
professing "Christians" on internet forums).
It then occured to me that this may be why Gabriel struck Zacharias dumb. Years ago I read something by a Jew who rejected
Luke's account because "an angel would not punish someone for asking a question." He thought it was entirely out of keeping with the
general tone of Scripture. His argument bothered me because I agreed very much that it is a good thing to ask questions.
So for years I've had this little tickle of discomfort around this event. The problem is that I did not
realize his hidden assumption that Zacharias was struck dumb as
punishment. Does the text say anything about punishment? What if it wasn't punishment?
What if it was a gift to both Zacharias and his community that saved him from uttering, and them from hearing, months of
faithless blather about an unbelieved divine promise of the coming forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Now this is something to which the text actually does speak! Indeed, it states explicitly that
Gabriel struck Zacharias dumb "because thou believest not my words." This is to be contrasted with
Mary's encounter with Gabriel. She too asked a question, but her heart was filled with faith, a fact acknowledge explicitly
by Elizabeth when she said "blessed is she that believed" (Luke 1:45). So it was not
the act of questioning, but the
lack of faith that caused Gabriel's seemingly "negative" response. This is a satisfying solution to
because it is based on faith. But as I wrote this, another view came to mind.
Even if one agrees that Zacharias was struck dumb as pubishment, the question remains "punished for what?"
The skeptic asserted he was struck dumb for "asking a question" when in fact the
text says that he was struck dumb for unbelief - an event perfectly consistent with every page of the Holy Scripture.
It is grace alone that saves us from such a fate!
So we have a wonderful wrap-up: Gabriel's action may not have been punishment at all,
and if it was punishment, it was punishment for the sin of unbelief. Zacharias was not punished for "asking a question."
I don't recall where I first encounted this argument against Luke's Gospel.
I took a quick spin through cyberspace to see if
I could find anyone presenting it, but found nothing. If you know of a page presenting it, please send me the link.
Thanks!
The image is from the wonderful World Missions Clip Art
site that proclaims "We want to help you publish the good news about Jesus Christ!" on their home page.
Well, praise God for that! They have scanned the images of Julius
Schnoor von Carolsfeld's Das Buch der Bücher in Bilden. I plan on using this resource to illustrate many pages on this site.
Well now, this is what a blog is supposed to be! A place for me to quickly share
things I learn, questions I have, and what the Lord is doing each day in my life. Finally, things are beging to roll.
I even need to time-stamp the postings since they are going up more than one a day.
Saturday article in the Yakima Herald Republic (12/29/06 1:00 PM)
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isaiah 40:9
The image is a scan of this morning's (Friday's) front page of the
Yakima Herald Republic .
It is the largest newspaper serving Yakima County in
Washington State, with a circulation of 28,104 (weekdays) and 40,018 (Sundays).
The notice is about the Bible Wheel book review
that will be published in tomorrow's Faith section. This is very exciting, coming as it does on the heals of the
review in the Yakima Valley Business Times (reproduced here on this site).
Pray the Lord will cause His Word to go forth and flourish!
There also will be a book signing at the Borders bookstore at 1700 East Washington Ave, Union Gap,
both Saturday and Sunday, 12:00 - 4:00 PM.
If you are anywhere near Yakima, come and get your signed copy. I would love to meet you!
Oops! This was supposed to be a blog ... (December 28, 2006)
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness
arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Malachi 4:2
Seems like I didn't quite get the "blog" thing ... I haven't posted anything here for months! The thing is that I have had
a very difficult case of writer's block; nothing I wrote "felt right." It didn't matter if I was writing my next book or a
simple article for this website. Anything I wrote felt "wrong" in some sense - like there was "something missing" that I could
not put my finger on. It's a strange malady that I was hoping to overcome with the
blog, but I never got the rhythm going and just sorta forgot about it. So to get things rolling again, I thought I would
start with another item from my "Bible Wheel Art" collection that I made a couple years ago. It seems appropriate right now because there
are a lot of doors opening for the dissemination of this knowledge.
The burden can be great at times. Please pray our Lord
give me strength and grace to finish the course He has set before me.
