The Truth Regarding Creation
The Bible is the only source of absolute truth regarding God and His relationship to man. I accept the Bible as inerrant. However, as someone with significant education in biological science, I have interpreted the Genesis story of creation in such a way to accommodate what is known through science.There is sufficient scientific evidence to support some form of evolution as the way all life upon earth, including man, came into being. As a Christian, I firmly believe that this process was controlled by God, the Creator of all things.
There is a method by which both the inerrancy of the Bible, and what is known through science regarding creation, can both be proven. The way in which to demonstrate this proof is through gematria. Gematria involves the use of the numerical value of words in the attempt to find hidden truth in Scripture. This is made possible by the fact that both Hebrew, the language of the OT, and Greek, the language of the NT, use characters of the respective alphabets for numbers. Therefore, every word has a numerical value as well as a specific meaning. Tables showing the numerical values for each letter in Hebrew and Greek alphabets are shown below.

It has been postulated that words and phrases of the same numerical value are associated. This supposition is confirmed by the association of words which have the same numerical value as that of sentences composed of root words in Hebrew which are consistent with what is written in Scripture and which have the same numerical value as certain words in Greek. Experts in this method insist that the exact words from Scripture be used for gematria to be valid. I am not an expert, and have only a basic understanding of gematria. I am also illiterate in Hebrew and Greek. However, I was inspired in a supernatural way to use only root word spellings for each word instead of the proper spelling according to rules of grammar.
It may be difficult for the reader to believe, but the gematria findings related to creationwhich willbe shown, came to me in just a matter of days. I did not attempt to arrive at specific numerical values, and in almost every instance I did not know what words would have the calculated value of the sentence. For each sentence the root words as indicated in Strong's Concordance will be identified by its Strong's number, and the gematria value of every word and the total for the sentence will be shown. (Note that Hebrew is written from right to left.) The individual words having the same value as that for the sentence are often alternate spellings of the word of that particular meaning.
Is there an Almighty God who created all things? There is some debate among physicists concerning the origin of all matter. Some believe that there is a cycle of expansion and contraction of matter to account for the "creation" of the universe. To Christian believers there was nothing which existedbefore God created everything. The method of gematria which I have used confirms that God created the universe from nothing.
The Father (H1) created (H1254) heaven (H8064) and earth (H776) from (H4480) nothing. (H369)
61 + 90 + 291 + 390 + 203 + 3 = 1038
CREATOR (G2939) = = 1038
As a Christian believer,I haveno doubt that in whatever way life came about, and man came into being, God is the Creator of all things, and gematria gives confirmation of that truth.
God (H430) created (H1254) heaven (H8064) and earth (H776) and all (H3605) life. (H2416)
18 + 50 + 390 + 291 + 203 + 86 = 1038
CREATOR (G2939) = = 1038
Surely (H389) God (H430) created (H1254)) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures (H5315) of earth.(H776)
291 + 430 + 18 + 50 + 203 + 86 + 21 = 1099
CREATE/CREATOR (G2936) = = 1099
Throughout the Bible, the one true God is proclaimed as"the God ofAbraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." This is the one true God, and the Creator, as proven by the gematria value which proclaims this truth.
The God (H430) of Abraham, (H85) the God (H430) of Isaac, (H3327) and the God (H430) ofJacob, (H3290) the Creator. (H1254)
203 + 182 + 86 + 208 + 86 + 248 + 86 = 1099
CREATE/CREATOR (G2936) = = 1099
The Bible says that man and the beasts of earth were created from dust of the ground. From a scientific point of view, everything in the universe, and indeed all life, is made of atomic elements, the "dust of the ground." And the Lord God formed man of dust from the groundGenesis 2: 7. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as one dieth, so dieth the other; yea they all have one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above the beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 3: 19-20. Gematria proves the truth that all living creatures including man were created by God from the dust. (Two Hebrew root words can be used for "ground." Although the root wordused in the following is usually used for "earth," it is also frequently used for "ground.")
God (H430) created (H1254) life (H2416)of dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground. (H776)
291 + 90 + 350 + 18 + 203 + 86 = 1038
CREATOR (G2939) = = 1038
All (H3605) living things (H2416) were formed (H3335) of dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground. (H776)

CREATE/CREATOR (G2936) = = 1099
God (H430) created (H1254) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures (H5315) of dust. (H6083)
350 + 430 + 18 + 50 + 203 + 86 = 1137
CREATE/CREATOR (G2936) = = 1137
The Father (H1) formed (H3335) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures (H5315)ofdust. (H6083)
350 + 430 + 18 + 50 + 300 + 3 = 1151
CREATE/CREATOR (G2936) = =1151
Four different spellings, each with a different gematria value, for the Greek word that means "create or creator,"have givenconfirmation of what the Bible says about the creation of men and beasts from dust. God formed living creatures of dust from the ground giving life to inanimate dust.
God (H430) the Father (H1) created (H1254) the living (H2416) creatures (H5315) of earth. (H776)
291 + 430 + 18 + 203 + 3 + 86 = 1031

God (H1) formed (H3335) creatures (H5315) from (H4480) dust. (H6083)

QUICKEN/GIVE LIFE/MAKE ALIVE (G2227) = = 1256
An all powerful God created life on earthof "dust" from the ground. A variety of statements related to the creation of living creatures from dust are proven true by gematria values which equal that for alternative spellings of the words that mean, "beast, a living being, an animal," or" creature, creation, anything created."
Surely (H389) God (H430) created (H1254) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures. (H5315)
430 + 18 + 50 + 203 + 86 + 21 = 808
BEAST/A LIVING BEING/AN ANIMAL (G2226) = = 808
All (H3605) living things (H2416) were formed (H3335) from (H4480) dust. (H6083)
350 + 90 + 300 + 18+ 50 = 808
BEAST/A LIVING BEING/AN ANIMAL (G2226) = = 808
God (H430) created (H1254) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures (H5315) of dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground. (H127)
50 + 90 + 350 + 430 + 18 + 50 + 203 + 86 = 1277
BEAST/A LIVING BEING/AN ANIMAL (G2226) = = 1277
God (H430) formed (H3335) the bodies (H6106) of all (H3605) living (creatures) (H2416) upon (H5921) earth (H776) from (H4480) the dust (H6083) of the ground. (H127)
CREATURE/CREATION/ANYTHING CREATED (G2937) = = 1535
Each of the sentences regarding creation and the associated words found for the total gematria values have thus far been completely consistent with the literal interpretation of Genesis. There can be no doubt that God is the Creator of all living creatures, but the abundant variation of species found in nature does not require a method of creation that cannot be explained from a scientific standpoint, and still maintain the inerrancy of the Bible. The pure language of God, the language of numbers, reveals that God used the laws of nature to create all life on earth and in the sea.
The Lord (H3068) God (H430) created (H1254) the earth (H776) and all (H3605) life (H2416) upon (H5921) the earth (H776) and in the sea. (H3220)
NATURE/NATURAL/THE NATURE OF THINGS/THE FORCE, LAWS, AND ORDER OF NATURE (G5449) = =1115
Life upon earth did not simply arise by chance; it was created by the Almighty God. But does creation of each individual species of life from dust mean it was the result of a specific, distinct, miraculous act of God for every creature? When God created the universe, the perfect laws of nature were also created, which influenced the development of all life forms. This truth, which eliminates the conflict between faith and science, is proven by gematria.
God (H430) the Father (H1) created (H1254) all (H3605) living (H2416) creatures (H5315) of earth (H776) and sea. (H3220)

350 + 90 + 291 + 18 + 50 + 203 + 86 =1188
God (H430) the Father (H1) formed (H335) living things (H2416) of the earth (H776) of dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground. (H127)
50 + 90 + 350 + 291 + 18 + 300 + 3 + 86 = 1188
NATURAL/PRODUCED BY NATURE (G5446) = = 1188
As itis written in Ecclesiastes, man has no preeminence above the beast; both are of dust and will return to dust.
Man (H120) was formed (H3335) of dust (H6083) and will return (H7725) to dust. (H6083)
350 + 308 + 350 + 300 + 45 = 1353
THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO THIS LIFE (G982) = = 1353
Could it be that God first created man a living creature without a spirit like all other creatures?
God (H430) created (H1254) the flesh (H1320) of men (H120) upon (H5921) earth (H776) from (H4480) dust. (H6083)

Mankind, created by God, and born in the flesh, is nothing more than a beast.
God (H430) formed (H3335) man (H120) born (H3205) in the flesh. (H1320)
502 + 44 + 45 + 300 + 86 = 977
BEAST/AN ANIMAL/A BESTIAL MAN (G2342) = = 977
Before man received a spirit from God, his body of flesh was "formedof dust from the ground."
Before (H2962) the body (H6106) of man (H120) received (H3947) a spirit, (H7307) God (H430) the Father (H1) formed (H3335) man (H120) of dust (H6083) from (H4480)the ground. (H127)
The spirit given to man which gives understanding of God and our relationshipto Him,was meant to allow mankind to have control over his natural animal instincts.
God (H430) created (H1254) man (H120) the only (H3173) living (H2416) creature (H5315) with (H5973) an everlasting (H5769) spirit. (H7307)

HAVE POWER OF/TO BE MASTER OF THE BODY/TO HOLD THE BODY UNDER ONE'S WILL (G1850) = = 1284
In Genesis it states that God "breathed into the nostrils of man the breath of life." Instead of the traditional interpretation of this passage to mean that man was created a living being, does this mean that there was a miraculous transformation of man, who God had already created a physical being, into a being with an everlasting spirit?
After (H310) God (H430) breathed (H5301) into the nostrils (H639) of man (H120) the breath (H5397) of life, (H2416) all (H3605) men (H120) were born (H3205) with (H854) a spirit. (H7307)
God (H430) formed (H3335) the flesh (H1320) of man (H120) of dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground (H127) and then (H227) man (H120) received (H3947) a spirit. (H7307)
God (H430) formed (H3335) the body (H6106) of man (H120) of dust (H6083) from (H4480) theground (H776) and then (H227) man (H120) received (H3947) a spirit (H7307) from (H4480) God.(H430)
The flesh of man was created by God through the laws of nature established by the Creator at the foundation of the universe, as all other creatures were created. However, man is the only living creature to receive a spirit from God.In Scripture, the Hebrew word for "with," is somtimes implied but not written. Whether or not the root word for "with" is used in the following sentence, it is confirmed that God used the perfect laws of nature which He established to create man.
God (H430) created (H1254) man (H120) the only (H3173) living (H2416) creature (H5315) with both (H8147) a body (H6106) of flesh (H1320) and a spirit. (H7307)
NATURAL/HAVING THE NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF BREATH/THE PRINCIPLE OF ANIMAL LIFE WHICH MAN HAS IN COMMON WITH THE BRUTES (G5591)= = 1738
Although the physical body of man was created like other creatures, man alone was then transformed into a spiritual being.
Man (H120) shall be (H1961) the only (H3173) living (H2416) creature (H5315) of earth (H776) with (H5973) a spirit. (H7307)

NATURE/NATURAL/MANKIND/THE NATURE OF THINGS (G5449)= = 1160
God (H430) gave (H5414) an everlasting (H5769) spirit (H7307) to the living (H2416) creature (H5315) called (H7121) man. (H120)

Man was created by God to be above all other creatures of earth: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1: 26. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1: 28.
God (H430) ordained (H7760) man (H120) shall be (H1961) the one (H259) living (H2416) creature (H5315) to receive (H3947) a spirit. (H7307)
God (H430) the Father (H1) created (H1254) man (H120) the only (H3173) living (H2416) creature (H5315) with (H5973) a body (H6106) and a spirit. (H7307)
LIKENESS/MADE LIKE TO/IMAGE/THAT WHICH HAS BEEN MADE AFTER THE LIKENESS OF SOMETHING (G3667)= = 1341
The image of God in which man has been created is that of a spirit, and the spirit was imparted into the flesh of man when God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life."
After (H310) God (H430) created (H1254) the flesh (H1320) of man (H120) He breathed (H5301) into his nostrils (H639) the breath (H5397) of life, (H2416) creating (H1254) man (H120) in His own image. (H6754)
LIKENESS/MADE LIKE TO/IMAGE/THAT WHICH HAS BEEN MADE AFTER THE LIKENESS OF SOMETHING (G3667)= = 1332
Gematria confirms that when God "breathed into the nostrils of man the breath of life" man received an everlasting spirit, an eternal soul, with knowledge and understanding of God as his Creator.
God (H430) created (H1254) man's (H120) body (H6106) of flesh,(H1320) and then (H227) breathed (H5301) into only (H3173)his nostrils (H639) the breath (H5397) of life. (H2416)

After (H310) man (H120) was formed (H3335) of the dust (H6083) from (H4480) the ground (H127) he received (H3947) an everlasting (H5769) spirit (H7307) from (H4480) God. (H430)
SOUL/THE BREATH OF LIFE/A LIVING BEING/THE SOUL AS AN ESSENCE WHICH DIFFERS FROM THE BODY AND IS NOT DISSOLVED BY DEATH (G5590) = = 1901
Is there any way that the words which have been identified for the gematria values of the sentences related to creation could have come about merely by chance? Every sentence composed with the primary spelling of Hebrew words is consistent with Biblical truth. The words associated with the numerical value of the sentences not only confirms that Godcreated the universefrom nothing, andcreated all life, but alsothat man is the only creature to have been created in the image of God by having received a spirit.It also confirms that God used the perfect laws of nature which He established at the moment of creation to form all creatures, including man, "of dustfrom the ground."
I also composed sentences using root words in Hebrew that were notdirectly related to what is written in Scripture, but according to what Ifelt was a revelation of truth from the Spirit ofGod. One should certainly be skeptical of such a claim, but observe the following gematriafindings which came to meas I simply composed sentences according to the way I have interpreted the Genesis story in accordance with what is known through science regarding the existence of physically modern man for >150,000 years. I made no attempt to arrive at a specific numerical value, and had no prior knowledge of the words that have the gematria values that were calculated for the sentences.
God (H430) gave (H5414) all (H3605) men (H120) a spirit (H7307) a long (H7227) time (H4480) (H3117) after (H310) He created (H1254) man (H120) a living (H2416) creature. (H5315)
Many (H7227) thousand (H505) years (H8141) after (H310) living (H2421) without (H3808) a spirit, (H7307) man (H120) received (H3947) a spirit (H7307) from (H4480) God. (H430)

Whatever one believes concerning the origin of man is inconsequential in regard to one's salvation, but would it not be appropriate for all Christians to refrain from insistence upon the traditional literal interpretation of the creation story, and rejecting from the body of believers thosewhose knowledge of science leads them to interpretthe Biblein light of that knowledge. A scientific explanation for the origin of mankind's physical body does not diminish the truth found in Scripture. In fact, Scripture tells us that it is God's intention that men should know that they are beasts: I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and they might see that they themselves are beasts.For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; one thing befalleth them: as one dieth, so dieth theother; yea, they all have one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above the beast; for all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 3: 18-19. When the same root words from this passage of Scripture are used, gematria confirms thatGod has manifest to man thatbecause of the laws of nature which God has established,man's physical body has no preeminence above the beast.
Concerning (H5921)men, (H120)God (H430) has manifest (H1305) that they (H1992)might see (H7200) that they (H7945) themselves are beasts, (H929) and that which befalleth (H4745) the sons (H1121) of men (H120) befalleth (H4745) beasts. (H929)
NATURE/MANKIND/THENATURE OF THINGS, THE FORCE,LAWS, ORDER OF NATURE (G5449) = = 2105
But Scripture also makes it clear that we are more than simply beasts; God gave man an everlasting spirit with understanding of his spiritual nature so that we might be able to control our animal nature, and have fellowship with our Creator. It is impossible for man to completely overcome the animal instincts of our flesh, and that is why God came to earth in the flesh to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our salvation. The reality of that truth is also confirmed by the method of gematria to which I have been led by the Spiritin relation to everything which Scripture proclaims regarding Jesus.
