Bible Exposed - 7

In the last post I gave some reasons why I believe the number and cycle of 28 figured highly in the theories of Biblical philosophy and now I propose to provide an even more convincing argument why this number would have been so highly regarded.

There are two mysteries which I have found to be highly annoying because I was unable to provide a sensible, satisfying answer to either one of them. They are:-

1. If you accept the proposition that the books of Moses were arranged by man into so-called Holy Cycles, then how could I explain why there were a total of 187 chapters in the Torah? I say that when these books were being "designed" choices had to be made regarding the structure of the Holy Scriptures, so it would seem sensible that the choices were not random but meaningful. So what was the meaning of the 187 chapters?

2. In the Torah Moses designated Aaron and his sons to serve God and to organise the holy rituals in the temple. Chapter 24 of 1 Chronicles gives a much more detailed explanation of how the ritual (cycle) operates. There are 24 priests who each takes it in turn to spend one week of their time in the temple and so therefore a total of 168 days pass by before the first priest has to perform his service again. Once more I was at a loss to provide any sensible reason for this timespan. Why 24 priests? Why 7 days each? It is amusing to think of the people who argue that any number can be fiddled to be made important if enough effort is devoted to the task. Well I have tried in the past and completely failed until now.

Right, enough of these ramblings - let's cut straight to the chase and put forward my explanation:-

187 x 168 = 31416

Recognise this? Of course you do - it is the world's most famous number. It is the ratio of the circumferance of a circle to it's diameter. A circle with a circumferance of 31416 units has a diameter of 10,000. How wonderfully perfect is God's work! Do you think that everything I have stated in this blog and others could be just random or are these deliberate devices inserted by numerologists? Of course it is deliberate and this represents just one aspect of a conspiracy of which Dan Brown would be proud. The theory may not be as colourful as the Da Vinci Code but it certainly has to be taken seriously as the implications for the true believers could be devastating as they begin to understand that their religion hides within a rotten and maggoty pseudo-science which should have no place in the thoughts of intelligent and rational people.

So, just to finish:-

168 = 24 x 7 or 168 = 28 x 6
