Make Heavy The Way Of The Sea
Introduction
In order of discovery, this is the third prophecy touching China. Isaiah's inspired prophecy is imbued with layers of meaning that reach through history. This isn't just a prophecy about China, but also about Israel, and all the world that walks in darkness. It gives a glimpse into what the near future might be like.
The prophecy begins in Isaiah 8:11, and ends in 9:8.
Isaiah 8:11's, For the LORD spoke thus to me—
provides a natural break and new opening from the previous verses. The natural end point for this section would seem to be Isaiah 9:7, but the numbers favour the next verse.
The Lord has sent a word against Jacob, and it will light upon Israel. (Isaiah 9:8)
What is this Word
that was sent against Jacob? It is everything before this point, from Isaiah 8:11-9:7. Everything after 9:8 is the result of this Word
being against Jacob, and is not the Word
. Thus Isaiah 9:8 is also a part of the prophecy, but to properly understand the prophecy, its consequences have to be considered (even though they are not part of the Word
). The consequences give perspective to the prophecy.
The prophecy is against those in Israel who proudly say they will build back better (Isaiah 9:9-10). Because they do not recognize God, God raises adversaries against them (verse 11). There are Syrians in the east, and Philistines in the west (verse 12). Verse 12 ends with, For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
This is only the beginning.1
Israel did not recognize God’s hand in what was happening (verse 13). Thus God destroyed their ruling class, prophets, young men, orphans, and widows, because all were godless and spoke evil (verses 14-17). Verse 17 again ends with, For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
Wickedness increases and spreads like a raging forest fire. It spares no one, not even the land. Ephraim fights Manasseh. Manasseh fights Ephraim. The two also fight Judah (verses 18-21). And again verse 21 ends with, For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
God pronounces Woe
on those who legalize wickedness, and oppression. They will be taken prisoner or be slain (verses 10:1-4). There will be no escape. And verse 10:4 once more ends with, For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
It is not over yet.
This is the Word
against Jacob that lights
on Israel. It is the other perspective for understanding the Word
itself. As glorious as Jesus' coming was, it brought about division and the rise and fall of many in Israel (Matthew 10:34-36; Luke 2:34). The prophecy has a bright side and a dark side. Isaiah's prophecy is a masterful inspired work of dual purpose and dual meaning.
Jesus is God’s word of creation and redemption. And the word came into the world (John 1:10), and lighted
upon Israel (Isaiah 9:8). Isaiah's own words describe what happened:
And he will become a sanctuary, and a stone of offense, and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many shall stumble thereon; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken. (Isaiah 8:14-15)
This reminds readers of the rejected corner stone, where Jesus also mentioned falling and being broken.
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Matthew 21:44 KJV)
It was during this incident, Jesus said, Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
(Matthew 21:43; See the section before the conclusion for more on the link between Matthew 21:43 and Isaiah 8:11-9:8.)
(The Greek word translated as "taken away" is αρθησεται, meaning, literally as lifting up something take up
, pick
, raise
. The Word that lighted
upon Israel is contrasted with the lifting up
or taking away of the kingdom of God.)
Since it is impossible to take away something that someone does not have, this means during Jesus' time on earth, the Jews had the kingdom of God. They had it ever since God made a covenant with them. However, having it did not mean entering it. Jesus warned everyone to make sure they entered (Matthew 5:20). And he blasted the Pharisees for preventing people from entering (Matthew 23:13).
Since Israel was imperfect when they had the kingdom of God, this is why it could be taken away and given to another imperfect nation. (Remember, having the kingdom of God is not the same as entering the kingdom of God.)
What does it mean to be an imperfect nation having the kingdom of God? At its simplest, a nation with no covenant would have a lesser level of the same benefits ancient Israel was to have after they received the covenant (Deuteronomy 28:1-13). The more that nation followed righteousness, the stronger would be the blessing. On the other hand, this nation would also be punished like Israel if they sinned. However, since there is no official covenant, punishment would be less than what Israel would have receivd.
All of this is actually covered in Isaiah's prophecy.
The Prophecy
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying 12 "Do not call conspiracy all that this people call conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the LORD of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a sanctuary, and a stone of offense, and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall stumble thereon; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken." 16 Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples. 17 I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 And when they say to you, "Consult the mediums and the wizards who chirp and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the teaching and to the testimony! Surely for this word which they speak there is no dawn. 21 They will pass through the land, greatly distressed and hungry; and when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will curse their king and their God, and turn their faces upward; 22 and they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be thrust into thick darkness. 9:1 But there will be no gloom for her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. 3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased its joy; they rejoice before thee as with joy at the harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Midian. 5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. 8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob, and it will light upon Israel; (Isaiah 8:11-9:8)2
Isaiah opens his prophecy with a unique qualifier, his strong hand upon me
, adding extra emphasis to a specific warning, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
In some sense, this also applies to the reader. This is a special prophecy that should not be read in the way
that the average person reads it. And it should not be interpreted
in the same way as most have interpreted it. Most explanations of these verses limit verses 9:1-2 to a time period not long after Isaiah and or stop with Jesus' first coming. This restricts the prophecy and misses the wider reach of God’s plan.
Do not fear what they fear.
Fear, like conspiracies
, are fads that come and go. There always is another one. There always will be another one. They are distractions from what really matters: fear God. This is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7, 9:10). A part of fearing God is to study and teach His word (Acts 6:2). This is keeping the word (Revelation 3:8, 10), and it will keep you from straying. To not fear God is to fall prey to the world's fears. The fear of man, or the fears of men, are snares (Proverbs 29:25). People end up following ancient Israel into stumbling and falling. It's not just a rejection of Jesus, but a rejection of God.
Isaiah's prophecy warns many shall stumble thereon; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.
The emphasis is on the many.
Jesus said the same with similar words (Matthew 21:44). The way to life is narrow, difficult, and few find it (Matthew 7:14). Entering is left unsaid because it is never a one time decision or accomplishment, but a lifetime of endurance. One can enter but still slip back.
Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples.
(Isaiah 8:16) Isaiah is aware believers are the minority. There is no point speaking to the majority. The majority consult world renown experts, mediums and the wizards who chirp and mutter
in jargon. They do not consult the living God. Surely for this word which they speak there is no dawn.
(Isaiah 8:20) There is only darkness. The majority fail, curse human government and God (Isaiah 8:21). They do not repent, and thus darkness only deepens (Isaiah 8:22).
There is a much more serious aspect to this darkness. God hides His face (Isaiah 8:17). The high priest's duty was to ask God to lift up His face
and let it shine
upon the people of Israel (Numbers 6:25-27). It was God who would bless, give peace, and grace. But here, Isaiah sees God has hidden His face. That is why there is no peace, and only darkness. Without God’s blessing, any prosperity is temporary and it is restricted.
When Israel failed and stumbled into three centuries of darkness and silence from God, God sent His son. Most of Jesus' ministry was in the Galilee area. This is where he did many of his miracles.
In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali—
The Hebrew word הראשון, is translated as former time
in the RSV.

The actual Hebrew meaning takes the reader back centuries to the time of Solomon. Solomon gave Hiram of Tyre 20 cities in Galilee for payment of the cedar to build the temple. As the king of Tyre, a merchant and sea faring city, Hiram was a sophisticated man who had seen great cities in Egypt and elsewhere. Hiram was not pleased with the tiny (limited; Cabul) backwards Israelite villages (1 Kings 9:13). From this point, Galilee became known as the backwater of Israel, and this label stuck for centuries. This incident opened Solomon's eyes to the undeveloped
nature of Israel, and he spent a good part of the rest of his reign building infrastructure.
Examining the meaning of the Hebrew words brings out different layers of understanding. The prophecy widens.
We reach the crux of the prophecy with –but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea—
. The Hebrew word והאחרון is translated as latter time
.

¤ 1) behind, following, subsequent, western 1a) behind, hindermost,

The meaning is very much the opposite of former time.
Latter time
with 2000 years hindsight after Jesus' coming, clearly shows part of the prophecy still waits to be fulfilled, or is still in the process of being completed. Yes, Jesus brought light to Galilee, but darkness swept in after he left (Matthew 12:43-45). Jesus warned the cities in Galilee they were going to be worse off than Sodom and Gomorrah. Capernaum, Bethsaida, and Chorazin all disappeared from history and even to this day archaeologists are uncertain of their exact locations (Matthew 11:21-24). Thus this cannot be make glorious the way of the sea.
God can get glory from punishing sin (Deuteronomy 29:25; Jeremiah 22:8-9), but it is obvious strangers and foreigners would never know the full circumstances behind such acts. This would not be the best witness for God’s glory. The living witness of believers would give God the greatest glory. Thus a more complete fulfillment of the prophecy has to be quite some time after Jesus.
This brings the prophecy to today (2023 A.D.), where for the past 400 years sea going trade has grown from a few ships each year to thousands of ships every day.
The Hebrew word הכביד, is translated as glorious
. Sometimes this words is translated as glorious
, but other times it is translated as heavy.
(Sometimes another Hebrew word is used for glorious
: נאדרי (Exodus 15:6).)

This word appears in these verses: 1 Kings 12:10, 1 Kings 12:14, 2 Chronicles 10:10, Isaiah 8:23, and Lamentations 3:7. In all these verses, the meaning is heavy
and not glorious
or honourable.
Here we see Isaiah's prophecy in the process of being fulfilled. The way of the sea
is heavy with cargo ships carrying thousand tonne loads.
Another reason why the meaning is heavy
rather than glorious
is because it is the opposite of the Hebrew word הקל, translated as contempt
.

Quite a number of the uses of this word have the connotations of being light
or slight
. This contrasts with heavy
and aligns with what Hiram said centuries before Isaiah.
The prophecy is filled with contrasts. Formerly contrasts with latterly. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali contrasts with the way of the sea. The slight on Galilee contrasts with the weight on the sea. This is not just a matter of poetry. Writing parchment was rare in Isaiah's time, expensive and time consuming to prepare. The prophet would not waste writing space just to sound poetic. As Jesus said, not a dot is to be ignored (Matthew 5:18). Thus all of Isaiah's words are important.
If Isaiah meant Galilee was made glorious, or important (heavy) because of Jesus' coming, he would not have wasted time writing the way of the sea.
Nor would he have included beyond the Jordan.
Each item has a part in the prophecy.
(All of this does not mean current interpretations and understanding of these verses are wrong. They are only incomplete. Isaiah is telling us a lot more than most people realize.)
In the latter days, God makes the way of the sea
important (heavy). This relates to the land beyond the Jordan
, which Isaiah inspired by the Spirit, wrote, Galilee of the nations.
As the Galilee of the Bible is in the north at the beginning of the Jordan, this discourages translating the land beyond the Jordan
as the land along the Jordan
. The majority of the tribes of Israel were west of the Jordan. From this perspective, the land beyond the Jordan
can only be a place to the east. Thus the placement of the words gives Galilee two uses and meanings. It is the land to the north at the headwaters of the Jordan. It is also a land in the east.
The word, Galilee
, occurs seven times in the Old Testament (Joshua 12:23, 20:7, 21:32; 1 Kings 9:11; 2 Kings 15:29; 1 Chronicles 6:76; Isaiah 9:1). Isaiah 9:1 has different vowels from the others. It is also the only one to stand alone without extra letters attached. One can only assume Isaiah wrote it this way to set it apart from the other occurrences and usages of the word.
Galilee isn't just a name identifying a place. The word has a separate meaning.

¤ the same as 01550;; n pr loc
¤ AV - Galilee 6; 6
¤ Galilee = "circuit, district" 1) a territory in Naphtali largely
occupied by heathen; a circuit of towns around Kedesh-Naphtali, in
which were situated the 20 towns given by Solomon to Hiram king of
Tyre as payment for his work in conveying timber from Lebanon to
Jerusalem
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers puts it this way, beyond Jordan, the circuit of the Gentiles.
The Pulpit Commentary: 'The word means circuit,
or ring.
' The JPS Tanakh (1917) reads in the district of the nations.
From this it is clear Isaiah is using Galilee for more than one purpose. His compact poetry identifies two different lands, and thus two different time periods. But different lands isn't the only thought conveyed by Galilee. It is a district, or a circuit. The circuit of nations today is the path on the sea. Water transportation is the cheapest and most efficient means of moving huge volumes of freight. This returns to the way of the sea being important.
When Jesus came, his teaching, miracles and presence brought light to a dark dark world. This made Galilee important. This same teaching brings light everywhere it goes. Thus in the future, when people walking in darkness accept the Gospel (Isaiah 9:2), they too will see the light. They too will relate to ancient Galilee. This is why in Isaiah 23:17-18, the new Tyre is willing to give up some profit in gratitude for God’s mercy and grace. This is why in Isaiah 18:7, an unknown nation brings gifts to God. These gifts will come by the sea (the circuit of nations), through the Suez Canal to Palestine.
Isaiah 9:3 begins with Thou hast multiplied the nation
. The Hebrew word translated as nation
is הגוי, with a definite article in front. Whereas verse 1 had Galilee of the nations
, here the word is singular, the nation
, a specific nation.

The word refers to a Gentile nation. It is a Gentile nation that has multiplied. The Hebrew word הרבית, multiplied
also has a definite article before it. This is not in the English because it doesn't make sense in English to say, You the multiplied the nation.
Isaiah is pointing out the uniqueness of this nation's population. This is not a small nation, but a very large nation.
For centuries, China has been the nation with the most people. Near the end of the Warring States period (300 B.C.), the large states were each fielding armies numbering in the hundreds of thousands again, and again, and again! Armies of comparable size in the rest of the world would not be seen until World War I. Only recently has India surpassed 1.4 billion to exceed China's population.
Not only has God increased the size of this nation, He also increased their joy, and productivity.
Increased joy is only possible when the benefits of productivity (harvest) are widely distributed. China is the only nation to have raised 800 million people from poverty to low middle income.
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Midian. (Isaiah 9:4)
Israel's great victory over Midian was in the time of the Judges. With God’s help, Gideon led a small force of 300 against 135,000 and he destroyed Midian (Judges 7:7, 8:10). Isaiah presents this picture as one of the reasons for this nation's joy.
After a century of humiliation, a small band of communists won the hearts of the Chinese people by resisting Japanese occupation. Their small force successfully withstood the nationalists who were better equipped, Western trained and financed. They were handed control of the Japanese trained Chinese auxiliaries in Manchuria when the Japanese troops there surrendered to the Soviets. By 1949 they had grown into an unstoppable force, sweeping the entire country. The unequal treaties imposed by European powers were abrogated. The foreign concessions were taken back. The flow of opium stopped.
Many nations can claim, in their history, a small group accomplishing great things. But none of them would be very populous, be east of the Jordan, and have an astonishing increase in productivity that was widely shared.
China is now the factory of the world. Her ships carry all sorts of goods everywhere. The nation has not been at war since 1979. In many aspects, China seems to be blessed.
In verse 6, Isaiah returns to his own people.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be calledWonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Ancient Hebrew poetry consisted to two lines with the second line repeating the sense of the first line in a different way. Thus, For to us a child is born
, and to us a son is given
could refer to Jesus being born. And yet at the same time, to us a son is given
could refer to a different person. For to us a child is born
indicates the child is Jewish, but to us a son is given
is a less definite lineage.
When Jesus first came, he did not come to rule (Luke 12:14). The government was not on his shoulders. The commander of heaven's armies, who is called The Word of God
is a ruler bearing the title King of Kings, and Lord of Lords
(Revelation 19:13, 16). [For reasons why this person is not Jesus, see: Armageddon & Afterwards.] Thus Isaiah 9:6 covers two people and two different times.
Jesus is clearly, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
with no end (9:7). The other is a partial fulfillment with an interruption from Magog (Revelation 20:8).
Isaiah's prophecy wasn't just a warning to Israel. It showed what would happen. Israel would lose the kingdom of God. Another nation/people would gain it. When that nation comes to know Jesus and or God fully, or when they recognize the commander of heaven's armies, they would honour God in Palestine, making Galilee in the north important once again.
Explanations can always be made for supporting an interpretation. The human mind was made to create connections. This is how people learn. But is this a figment of the author's imagination?
Matthew 21:43 is a very unique verse. It is the 23,870th verse in the Bible: 23870 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 31. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.
There are three main versions of the Bible in Chinese, one from the Catholics (CAT), one from the Protestants (CUV), and the Chinese New Version (CNV). Matthew 21:43 is presented from each version.
CAT 為此，我對你們說：天主的國，必由你們中奪去，而交給結果子的外邦人 CUV 所以我告訴你們 神的國必從你們奪去 賜給那能結果子的百姓 CNV 因此我告訴你們， 神的國要從你們那裡取去，賜給那結果子的外族人
None of the major Chinese Bible versions use 上帝, the proper Chinese term for God. None of these versions are divisible by 7 and or 13.
The Kuoyu Bible Shangti
Edition 1033, China Bible House, Hong Kong, 1953 replaces the word 神 with 上帝, and an amazing thing happens.

Total: 55770 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 11 x 132. There are two factors of 13, reminiscent of the value of God’s name in Hebrew.
Do the same with the CAT:

Total: 50001 = 3 x 7 x 2381. The result is a total divisible by 7.
And for the CNV:

| 542 | 634 | 923 | 810 | 4613 | 770 | 2445 | 24 | 1939 | 1659 | 3243 | 2351 | 3378 | 770 | 2445 |

Total: 58177 = 7 x 8311. Once again the result is a multiple of 7.
How is it possible a simple change to the proper Chinese term for God would work for all three versions? Is this chance or providence? The very curious part is that the CUV actually identifies which people receive the kingdom of God!
At the very end of Matthew 21:43 in the CUV, the kingdom is given to the 百姓. 百姓 is literally, The Hundred Surnames
. It refers to the common people, but the very term 百姓 is also synonymous with the Chinese people, the original one hundred families living in the Yellow River basin. Why was it translated this way when there were so many other ways of stating ethnic group
in Chinese? What moved the translators to use this term? There are no answers to these questions. What we are left with is another possible sign the kingdom of God was given to China.
What other evidence is there for saying this passage is about Israel and China? How can it be verified?
The evidence is in the numbers from the Hebrew text, and also in the numbers from the Septuagint.
Numbers From The Hebrew
Number of chapters: 2. Number of verses in passage: 20. Number of words in passage: 259. Number of letters in passage: 1035. Passage total: 67336.
The passage straddles two chapters as a hint of the dual nature in the prophecy. There are 20 verses, a multiple of two.
The Hebrew Bible has chapter 8 ending at verse 23. This is chapter 9 verse 1 in English Bibles. Chapters and verses refer to the structure of the passage, and sometimes are quite arbitrary, but words and letters are the actual text. Thus there is a change from an even number of chapters and verses to an odd number of words and letters.
The number of words in the passage is a multiple of 7: 259 = 7 x 37.
The number of letters is a multiple of 23, showing this passage is about people: 1035 = 32 x 5 x 23.
This is the first passage where the total is not divisible by 7 and or 13: 67336 = 23 x 19 x 443. However, the sum of the factors is divisible by 13: 468 = 22 x 32 x 13. And the sum of these factors is again 23, confirming the passage is about people.
Where is China in these numbers? It is in the total 67336.
China in Chinese is 中國. The numeric values of these two characters are 101 and 3243. The total for 中國 is 3344 = 24 x 11 x 19. Factors 11 and 19 represent China. (For the conversion of Chinese characters to numbers, see: A Chinese Coincidence and Chinese Character Number Convertor.)
It is a 1 in 19 chance that the total of the passage was divisible by 19, like the total for 中國. One in nineteen doesn't sound like much, but it is almost three times as difficult as obtaining a total divisible by 7.
Not only is the total of the passage divisible by 19, but it is also divisible by 2 three times. The total for 中國 is divisible by 2 four times. Thus the common factors between the passage and 中國 are 23 x 19, or 152. In other words a 1 in 152 chance. This is 22 times more difficult to achieve than a result divisible by 7. It is 11 times more difficult than a result divisible by 13.
As will be seen below, the numbers 11 and 19 continue to show up when the principle of complementary opposites is applied (Revelation 1:8). Complementary opposites are a sign of God’s handiwork in the prophecy. In this case, God is not signing His name with 7 and 13. He is pointing out the specific nation that the prophecy applies to.
If the Hebrew chapter and verse divisions are used, chapter 8 has a total of 41390, and chapter 9 has a total of 25946. The Hebrew results in two chapter totals that are even numbers. If the English chapter and verse divisions are used, chapter 8 has a total of 36607, and chapter 9 has a total of 30729. The English results in two chapter totals that are odd numbers. This once again shows the dual nature of the prophecy. (N.B. For this study, the Hebrew chapter/verse division is used.)
First and last verse of each chapter: 11270 = 2 x 5 x 72 x 23.
Total of the first and last letters of each chapter: 95 = 5 x 19.
With just two chapters, there's not much to see, except that the difference between the two chapters for the Hebrew chapter/verse division produces a number divisible by 13: 15444 = 22 x 33 x 11 x 13.
To see just how well the factors for China fit with the passage, see features 2.13, 3.7 and 4.5.

Total: 172676 = 22 x 72 x 881. Even though the total of the passage is not divisible by 7, God’s Hebrew name reveals His signature in the text.
1.2Only one pair of word groups can be found where the groups together and individually are divisible by 7, and the groups are symmetrically positioned from the beginning and end of the passage.

A ZTotal of Groups A + Z: 24157 = 72 x 17 x 29.
Total of Group A: 10808 = 23 x 7 x 193.
Total of Group Z: 13349 = 7 x 1907.
When one starts from the beginning or from the end, the first and last verse positions of the groups are 4 and 7. One of the factors for China appears when 4 and 7 are added: 11.
1.2.1The previous feature looked at verse groups at either end of the passage. How about groups in the middle? There is only one, the middle 16 verses.
2956 4327 1976 1932 2573 4718 3543 2840 2677 1680 4783 2613 4306 3126 3304 4434
Total: 51788 = 22 x 112 x 107. SF: 133 = 7 x 19. SF: 26 = 2 x 13. (First there are two factors for China. The sum of the factors produces a multiple of 7, and in the third level, the factor total is divisible by 13.
1.3Take every Nth verse. When N is 4 or 10, the result is a total divisible by 13. And of course 4 and 10 together is 14 (2 x 7).
1.4The following verses are odd positioned and odd valued:
7 9 11 13 19 2573 3543 2677 4783 6661
Total: 20237 = 73 x 59. (Three 7s make up for its opposite not having a feature.)
1.4.2The following verses are even positioned and even valued:
6 8 10 12 16 18 20 1932 4718 2840 1680 3126 4434 1502
Total: 20232 (nf).
1.4.3Thus the verses that are purely odd or even together total 40469 (11 x 13 x 283). A factor of 11 for China appears along with the factor associated with God’s name.
Note: Half of all the verses would be in odd positions, and half would be in even positions. Of the ten verses in odd positions, random chance would indicate half would be odd valued and half would be even valued. Chance would suggest only five verses would be purely odd (position and value). The same would apply for verses that are purely even. There would only be five. Thus of verses that are purely odd or purely even, there should only be ten in all. But there were twelve. Skeptics say this could still be coincidence. On the other hand is the possibility something is pushing just slightly beyond the odds.
1.4.3.1Skeptics cannot point to anything extra supporting their claim this slight difference between the expected odds and what was found as being just chance. On the other hand, there is something more that is not chance. Take the positions of the first and last verses that are purely odd and purely even, and add them. The total is 52 (22 x 13).
1.4.3.2The position of the first verse that is purely odd, and the position of the last verse that is purely odd total 26 (2 x 13).
1.4.3.3The position of the first verse that is purely even, and the position of the last verse that is purely even also totals 26 (2 x 13). There seems to be perfect balance here.
1.5.1Sixteen verses are not prime numbers:
1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 14 15 2372 5013 2956 1976 1932 2573 4718 3543 2840 1680 2613 4306 16 17 18 20 3126 3304 4434 1502
Total: 48888 = 23 x 32 x 7 x 97. (There is no corresponding feature with the verses that are prime numbers.)
1.5.1.1The positions of the first and last verses in the list above: 21 (3 x 7).
1.5.1.2The first and last verse totals in the list above added: 3874 = 2 x 13 x 149.
1.5.2Two verses are multiples of 13.
5 14 1976 2613
Their positions total 19, one of the factors for China.
1.5.3One verse is divisible by 19, a factor for China.
5 1976
This number also has a 13: 1976 = 23 x 13 x 19.

The total of the verse positions where cumulative total is divisible by 19: 46 (2 x 23). This is a prophecy about people.
The sum of these four verse totals: 11109 = 3 x 7 x 232. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.
Sum of the cumulative totals at those points: 153387 = 33 x 13 x 19 x 23. (The factor of 13 is an unexpected surprise, and 23 appears again.)

Sum of the positions (Nth + Nth last): 5720 = 23 x 5 x 11 x 13. SF: 35 = 5 x 7. Since there are 259 words, this means the Nth and Nth last always add up to a number divisible by 13 (i.e. 1 + 259 = 260). The 13 from 5720 can be ignored. However, the 11 (a factor of China) is unexpected, as is the sum of the factors.
2.2.2Find word pairs positioned Nth and Nth last that are together, and individually divisible by 13. There is only one.
Nth: 4 Value: 26 Nth last: 256 Value: 65 Sum: 91
The sum of the positions, is of course, divisible by 13: 260 = 22 x 5 x 13. The sum of the factors point to China: 22 = 2 x 11. SF: 13. The sum of the words is 91 (7 x 13). The factor of 7 is extra.
2.2.3Because this is supposed to be about China, find word pairs positioned Nth and Nth last that together are divisible by 19. There are ten of pairs.
Nth: 6 32 46 62 80 82 84 112 114 122 Value: 535 407 541 86 543 26 375 17 61 30 Nth last: 254 228 214 198 180 178 176 148 146 138 Value: 206 87 86 104 768 354 442 135 490 122 Sum: 741 494 627 190 1311 380 817 152 551 152
Total of the ten pairs together: 5415 = 3 x 5 x 192. An extra 19 points to China, and the sum of the factors shows the prophecy is about people (46 = 2 x 23).
2.3Rather than find word pairs that are Nth and Nth last, find groups of words paired Nth and Nth last that together and individually are divisible by 19.
a) 2 4 7 8 8 9 10 11 14 15 15
b) 99 124 52 41 55 120 114 91 76 21 23
c) 53542 64448 26676 19570 27873 60059 56449 45942 35644 4237 5339
a) 20 21 22 23 36 38 42 43 47
b) 64 63 23 51 70 78 55 123 129
c) 25612 24092 1102 16663 20140 23104 8303 41610 41686
a) 49 55 83 85 (Starting position of word group.)
b) 66 58 94 121 (End position of group.)
c) 10906 2622 5928 15960 (Total of both groups.)
N.B. Start position (a) of the first group is with the second word
from the beginning. End position of the first group (b) is
also from the beginning.
Start position (a) of the second group is the same number,
but from the end of the passage. End position of the second
group (b) is also from the end of the passage.
Total of the positions (a + b): 2478 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 59.
Total of all the groups: 637507 = 13 x 19 x 29 x 89. (The 19 could be discounted because everything was chosen to be divisible by 19. However, the surprise is the factor 13.)
2.4.1Beginning with the first word and taking every Nth word after, the following values of N produces totals divisible by 11.
Values of N: 4 8 15 30 39 41 46 52 55 79 125
Total of N: 494 = 2 x 13 x 19. The result is divisible by 13 and 19.
2.4.2Beginning with the first word and taking every Nth word after, the following values of N produces totals divisible by 209 (11 x 19).
Values of N: 15 125
Total of N: 140 = 22 x 5 x 7.
2.5.1There are 116 words that are odd valued. Their positions total 14478 (2 x 3 x 19 x 127). One of the factors for China appears.
2.5.2There are 143 words that are even valued (143 = 11 x 13), but their positions do not add up to anything: 19192 = 23 x 2399. One has to look to the sum of the factors: 2405 = 5 x 13 x 37. SF: 55 = 5 x 11.
2.6Similar to the verses, the words can be divided into four categories depending on their positions (odd/even) and their values (odd/even).
2.6.1Words that are purely odd (position and value):
a) 3 5 7 11 13 15 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 35 41 59 61 b) 241 41 19 115 271 697 251 17 407 31 37 401 499 307 133 485 611 a) 65 73 83 85 89 91 93 95 99 103 105 107 109 113 119 129 131 b) 715 105 499 207 101 31 37 435 31 73 495 521 31 501 455 175 291 a) 135 137 141 143 145 159 161 165 173 175 183 187 193 201 209 227 b) 339 201 31 531 35 73 115 207 617 31 59 401 311 117 491 211 a) 231 237 241 243 245 249 251 259 (Position.) b) 277 81 115 175 207 551 499 543 (Word value.)
Total of the positions: 6804 = 22 x 35 x 7. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
Total of the words: 15484 = 22 x 72 x 79.
2.6.2Words in odd positions but with even values:
a) 1 9 17 33 37 39 43 45 47 49 51 53 55 57 63 67 69 b) 30 490 80 820 460 474 396 412 118 348 362 252 564 116 454 452 532 a) 71 75 77 79 81 87 97 101 111 115 117 121 123 125 127 133 139 147 b) 60 500 26 612 150 36 42 514 226 36 278 26 282 166 60 66 102 562 a) 149 151 153 155 157 163 167 169 171 177 179 181 185 189 191 195 197 b) 296 302 276 224 272 330 322 566 58 358 190 402 360 98 54 8 76 a) 199 203 205 207 211 213 215 217 219 221 223 225 229 233 235 239 247 b) 30 572 114 426 30 44 52 86 550 366 346 176 500 412 190 106 80 a) 253 255 257 (Word position.) b) 408 338 184 (Word value.)
Total of odd positions: 16900 = 22 x 52 x 132.
Total of the words: 19306 = 2 x 72 x 197.
2.6.3Words in even positions but having an odd value:
a) 2 6 12 14 18 20 24 26 32 40 46 72 74 78 80 84 88 b) 25 535 17 31 501 115 253 617 407 89 541 81 501 837 543 375 257 a) 94 96 104 106 108 110 112 114 118 124 128 130 132 134 148 150 b) 189 109 31 641 41 257 17 61 7 681 141 37 31 295 135 95 a) 154 156 158 164 166 168 170 172 182 190 196 202 204 208 210 218 b) 41 55 269 207 43 293 207 155 521 407 813 111 381 615 301 421 a) 222 224 226 228 234 244 246 252 256 (Word position.) b) 317 111 31 87 61 431 515 775 65 (Word value.)
Total of the positions: 7674 = 2 x 3 x 1279.
Total of the words: 15726 = 2 x 3 x 2621.
2.6.4Words that are purely even (position and value):
a) 4 8 10 16 22 28 30 34 36 38 42 44 48 50 52 54 56 58 b) 26 336 226 600 600 776 26 18 18 26 332 390 482 586 42 172 468 296 a) 60 62 64 66 68 70 76 82 86 90 92 98 100 102 116 120 122 b) 454 86 56 146 182 36 40 26 156 510 414 110 52 76 508 278 30 a) 126 136 138 140 142 144 146 152 160 162 174 176 178 180 184 186 b) 98 196 122 30 196 236 490 570 64 110 24 442 354 768 180 30 a) 188 192 194 198 200 206 212 214 216 220 230 232 236 238 240 242 b) 100 366 358 104 50 96 44 86 500 100 376 550 100 14 536 406 a) 248 250 254 258 (Word position.) b) 146 26 206 166 (Word value.)
Total of all the even positions: 16770 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 43.
Total: 16820 = 22 x 5 x 292.
Out of eight totals, three were divisible by 7, and two were divisible by 13. The odds would have favoured at most two being divisible by 7, and one divisible by 13. As usual, the numbers are slanted just a little more than the odds. (If the two results divisible by 49 and the one result divisible by 169 are accounted for, this definitely pushes beyond the odds.)
2.7Word values that are prime numbers, and word values that are not prime numbers break down perfectly.
2.7.1Fifty-six words (23 x 7) have totals that are prime numbers. Their positions are a nice symmetrical total with a factor for China, 6446 (2 x 11 x 293).
2.7.2Two hundred and three words are not prime numbers (203 = 7 x 29).
2.8The factors for China (3344 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 19) filter the words of the passage.
2.8.1A hundred and forty-three words are divisible by 2. 143 factors as 11 x 13, showing one of the other factors for China, and the number associated with God’s name in Hebrew.
Words divisible by 2: 30 26 336 490 226 600 80 600 776 26 820 18 18 460 26 474 332 396 390 412 118 482 348 586 362 42 252 172 564 468 116 296 454 86 454 56 146 452 182 532 36 60 500 40 26 612 150 26 156 36 510 414 42 110 52 514 76 226 36 508 278 278 26 30 282 166 98 60 66 196 122 102 30 196 236 490 562 296 302 570 276 224 272 64 110 330 322 566 58 24 442 358 354 190 768 402 180 360 30 100 98 54 366 358 8 76 104 30 50 572 114 96 426 30 44 44 86 52 500 86 550 100 366 346 176 500 376 550 412 190 100 14 106 536 406 80 146 26 408 206 338 184 166
The sum of these words produces no new feature: 36126. It is divisible by 2, but that is to be expected. Their positions yield a series of 2s: 19192 = 23 x 2399. The sum of the factors goes back to God’s name: 2405 = 5 x 13 x 37. The sum of these factors goes to another factor for China: 55 = 5 x 11. The third level of factors is another series of 2s: 16 = 24. And the fifth level is once again another series of 2s: 8 = 23.
2.8.Eighteen words are divisible by 11:
a) 23 24 32 43 65 98 105 133 156 162 163 190 203 212 213 219 225 b) 407 253 407 396 715 110 495 66 55 110 330 407 572 44 44 550 176 a) 232 (Position.) b) 550 (Word value.)
The total of these words produces another 11: 5687 = 112 x 47.
2.8.3Eleven words are divisible by 19:
Position: 7 41 69 102 150 152 179 197 205 235 249 Word value: 19 133 532 76 95 570 190 76 114 190 551
This time the total of these words does not produce anything new: 2546 = 2 x 19 x 67. The feature is in the sum of the factors: 88 = 23 x 11. However, the positions of these words is another feature: 1586 = 2 x 13 x 61. SF: 76 = 22 x 19.
2.8.4Put the totals for 2.8.1, 2.8.2, and 2.8.3 together:
Feature: 2.8.1 2.8.2 2.8.3 Word total: 36126 5687 2546 Positions: 19192 2498 1586
Sum of the word totals: 44359 = 7 x 6337. The sum of the factors leads to 13: 6344 = 23 x 13 x 61. The second level of factors leads to a series of 2s: 80 = 24 x 5. The third sum of the factors goes back to God: 13.
Sum of the position totals: 23276 = 22 x 11 x 232. There are three of China's factors, and the two 23s indicate this is about people.
2.8.5Since the factor of 2 for China appears four times, include it a total of four times.
Feature: 2.8.1 2.8.1 2.8.1 2.8.1 2.8.2 2.8.3 Word total: 36126 36126 36126 36126 5687 2546 Positions: 19192 19192 19192 19192 2498 1586
Sum of the word totals: 152737 = 13 x 31 x 379.
Sum of the position totals: 80852 = 22 x 17 x 29 x 41. Two factors for China appear, and the sum of the factors goes further: 91 = 7 x 13.
2.9The middle N words are divisible by 11 when N is one of the following values:
255 199 183 169 167 137 127 109 107 95 83 67 57
Total of N: 1755 = 33 x 5 x 13.
2.10A hundred and thirty-one word values appeared the least (once). One word value appeared the most (10 times). The total of these words: 42511 = 7 x 6073. SF: 6080 = 26 x 5 x 19.
2.11When the words are added one by one and the cumulative totals tracked, eleven are divisible by 19. The total of the positions of these words 1267 = 7 x 181.
2.12Applying the principle of complementary opposites to various characteristics of the words uncovers eight features yielding the factors associated with China.
2.12.1.1Words where the first letter is in an odd position of the passage.
Total of the last letter of each word: 10450 = 2 x 52 x 11 x 19.
2.12.1.2Words where the first letter is in an even position of the passage.
Total of the last letter of each word: 8835 = 3 x 5 x 19 x 31.
2.12.2.1Words where the first letter is in an odd position of the verse.
These letters total 7201 = 19 x 379.
2.12.2.2Words where the first letter is in an odd position of the verse.
These letters total 3743 = 19 x 197.
2.12.3.1Words where the last letter is in an odd position of the chapter.
Total of these letters: 5738 = 2 x 19 x 151.
2.12.3.2Words where the last letter is in an even position of the chapter.
Total of these letters: 5206 = 2 x 19 x 137.
2.12.4.1Words where the last letter is in an odd position of the verse.
Total of these positions: 3729 = 3 x 11 x 113.
2.12.4.2Words where the last letter is in an even position of the verse.
Total of these positions: 4114 = 2 x 112 x 17.
2.13With this feature, we see how the passage takes after The Proclamation. God said He is the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:8). The totals of the first and last letters of each word are added up.
2.13.1The first and last letters of each word: 30229 = 19 x 37 x 43. SF: 99 = 32 x 11. The largest factor for China appears instantly. The sum of the factors leads to the second largest factor for China.
2.13.1.1Providentially, the total of the first and last letter positions of each word is also a multiple of 7: 14910 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 71. The sum of the factors leads back to one of the China factors: 88 = 23 x 11.
2.13.2What about the first and last letters individually? The total for the first letter of each word: 10944 = 26 x 32 x 19. The same factor of 19 appears.
2.13.3The total for the last letter of each word: 19285 = 5 x 7 x 19 x 29. Once again 19 appears for China.
There is perfect agreement in the first and last letters of each word. Together they are divisible by 19. Separately they are divisible by 19.
2.13.4.1This means the 517 letters (11 x 47) that are not first or last are also divisible by 19: 37107 = 32 x 7 x 19 x 31. SF: 63 = 32 x 7. SF: 13. They are also divisible by 7, and the sum of the factors is also divisible by 7. In the third level of factors the sum is 13.
2.13.4.2The positions of these 517 letters total 264024 = 23 x 32 x 19 x 193. SF: 224 = 25 x 7.
It would appear God has built the number 19 into the passage. Either that, or this is a one in 2,476,099 chance (195). Since the total of the passage is also divisible by 19, this would be 196, or a one in 47,045,881 chance. If we accept that 19 is a factor representing China, then God has written China into the prophecy.
The Letters
3The letter values of God’s name in Hebrew can be used to count through the letters of this passage. Curiously, running the name 7, 11, or 13 times produces nothing. Running the name 40 times to cover the entire passage also finds no result. However, running the name 19 times succeeds.

b) 468 478 483 489 494 (Count.)
c) 5 8 200 5 6 (Letter found in the passage.)
Total of the letters (line c): 5803 = 7 x 829. SF: 836 = 2 x 2 x 11 x 19. The result is divisible by 7. The sum of the factors has four of the six factors for China.
3.2.1One hundred and ninety-four letters are odd valued. Their total: 682 = 2 x 11 x 31. SF: 44 = 22 x 11.
3.2.2Eight hundred and forty-one letters are even valued. Their total: 66654 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 232.
3.2.3Odd and even valued numbers are determined by their last digit. Since there are more letters with values over 10 than there are letters with values under 10, odd and even create lopsided groups, one small and one large (as seen by the totals in the two previous features). This can be remedied by grouping using the first digit of a letter.
3.2.3.1First digit odd: 28262 = 2 x 13 x 1087. SF: 1102 = 2 x 19 x 29.
3.2.3.2First digit even: 39074 = 2 x 7 x 2791. SF: 2800 = 24 x 52 x 7. (Total of the positions of these letters: 243906 = 2 x 3 x 13 x 53 x 59. SF: 130 = 2 x 5 x 13. Unfortunately, this is not matched by the positions of the letters with a first digit that is odd.)
3.3.1The first and last letters of each word (feature 2.13) are special because they follow Revelation 1:8, but one could also be more flexible taking the Nth and Nth last letters and finding all those pairing to a multiple of 13.
a) Nth Letter: 18 20 58 71 84 107 139 160 172 233 250 281 291 b) Value: 100 5 30 5 6 90 20 90 2 6 2 70 6 c) Nth last: 1018 1016 978 965 952 929 897 876 864 803 786 755 745 d) Value: 4 8 100 60 20 300 6 300 50 20 50 8 20 e) Sum: 104 13 130 65 26 390 26 390 52 26 52 78 26 a) 296 308 361 396 447 478 483 517 b) 50 200 20 90 30 8 200 20 c) 740 728 675 640 589 558 553 519 d) 2 8 6 40 100 70 8 6 e) 52 208 26 130 130 78 208 26
Twenty-one pairs (3 x 7) are possible.
Sum of positions (Nth + Nth last): 21756 = 22 x 3 x 72 x 37.
Note: Since there are 1035 letters, this means the positions of the Nth and Nth last letters always total a multiple of 7 (e.g. 1 + 1035 = 1036 = 22 x 7 x 37). Thus it is no surprise 21756 is divisible by 7. The surprise is that it is divisible by 7 twice.
3.3.2Since this is about China, find letter pairs (Nth and Nth last) where they are multiples of 11. There are 56 of them (23 x 7 SF: 13).
a) Nth Letter: 2 3 5 9 15 30 36 51 53 63 70 73 b) Value: 10 20 1 5 20 30 20 40 6 200 40 5 c) Nth Last: 1034 1033 1031 1027 1021 1006 1000 985 983 973 966 963 d) Value: 1 200 10 50 2 300 2 70 5 9 70 6 e) Sum: 11 220 11 55 22 330 22 110 11 209 110 11 a) 78 87 103 110 113 114 119 128 129 132 144 156 158 169 197 199 206 b) 1 400 10 6 400 6 300 1 20 5 5 3 6 300 300 40 40 c) 958 949 933 926 923 922 917 908 907 904 892 880 878 867 839 837 830 d) 10 40 1 5 40 5 30 10 2 6 6 30 5 30 30 400 4 e) 11 440 11 11 440 11 330 11 22 11 11 33 11 330 330 440 44 a) 229 237 238 265 285 311 326 341 351 362 366 380 385 395 401 422 428 b) 50 400 70 5 100 50 6 5 20 10 200 1 1 40 40 10 4 c) 807 799 798 771 751 725 710 695 685 674 670 656 651 641 635 614 608 d) 60 40 40 6 10 5 5 6 2 1 20 10 10 70 4 1 7 e) 110 440 110 11 110 55 11 11 22 11 220 11 11 110 44 11 11 a) 432 436 439 444 455 473 480 489 490 500 b) 10 5 10 200 30 10 6 5 6 10 c) 604 600 597 592 581 563 556 547 546 536 d) 1 50 1 20 80 100 5 50 5 1 e) 11 55 11 220 110 110 11 55 11 11
Sum of positions: 58016 = 25 x 72 x 37. Once again there is an extra factor of 7.
3.3.3What about the other factor for China, the number 19? There are only 15 pairs.
a) Nth Letter: 17 22 37 63 182 260 294 312 398 410 413 443 449 b) Value: 7 4 5 200 8 10 5 30 90 30 70 6 70 c) Nth Last: 1019 1014 999 973 854 776 742 724 638 626 623 593 587 d) Value: 50 300 90 9 30 9 90 8 5 8 6 70 6 e) Sum: 57 304 95 209 38 19 95 38 95 38 76 76 76 a) 487 504 b) 100 6 c) 549 532 d) 90 70 e) 190 76
Sum of positions: 15540 = 22 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 37. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13. This time, the total only has one 7, but the sum of the factors goes further.
3.4Paired groups of letters can also be found that are positioned Nth and Nth last in the passage. The paired groups are divisible by 19, and the individual groups are divisible by 19. 353 pairs were discovered.

Total of N: 9254 = 2 x 7 x 661.
3.5.2Taking every Nth letter (i.e. not beginning with the first letter) the following values of N produce a list with a total divisible by 11:
8 12 14 18 31 44 53 65 96 101 105 121 123 136 140 144 168 171 181 183 190 194 203 204 211 227 239 241 246 249 251 256 265 267 292 342 358 371 381 384 390 405 408 409 411 452 461 511 516
Total of N: 11248 = 24 x 19 x 37. (Looking for totals divisible by 11, one of the factors for China, ends up finding the other factor for China.)
3.5.3Starting with the first letter and taking every Nth after, the following results in a total divisible by 19:
4 24 51 58 78 94 110 128 139 142 176 179 189 201 216 220 260 275 280 390 479 491 509
Total of N: 4693 = 13 x 192. (Using the other factor for China, 19, ends up finding 19 again along with the number associated with God.
3.5.4Every Nth letter can add up to a total divisible by 19:
43 79 85 95 131 139 174 188 277 305 316 322 336 338 369 388 389 392 492
Total of N: 4858 = 2 x 7 x 347. (Using 19 results with the other number associated with God.)
3.5.5Rather than looking for totals divisible by the factors for China, what about totals divisible by 7 or 13? Beginning with the first letter, these values of N will produce a list divisible by 7:
4 5 18 23 31 44 45 51 67 69 71 76 83 91 97 115 119 125 132 141 158 171 174 176 202 207 210 229 230 249 259 263 269 271 283 294 298 325 327 328 332 333 334 337 342 350 359 361 362 370 371 383 385 387 393 399 400 409 410 421 425 427 434 436 440 459 462 463 466 469 470 473 475 480 481 482 487 501 507 517
Total of N: 23122 = 2 x 11 x 1051. SF: 1064 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 19. (Aiming for something divisible by 7 ends up with a factor for China.)
3.5.6Taking every Nth, these values of N will also make a list divisible by 7:
5 7 15 20 22 23 30 36 38 43 55 60 72 75 85 93 95 96 114 129 130 133 134 141 146 148 155 164 170 181 219 226 228 233 236 237 238 241 242 262 271 278 286 300 301 304 306 315 320 321 332 335 346 347 360 365 368 382 391 396 400 403 410 417 428 438 440 442 449 450 451 468 472 475 479 480 484 489 508 509 515 517
Total of N: 21725 = 5 x 5 x 11 x 79. (Once again one of the factors for China appears.)
3.5.7Taking every Nth, these values of N produce lists divisible by 13:
4 7 8 11 23 33 70 78 80 93 111 113 119 153 164 166 182 193 221 260 263 280 299 306 317 319 323 328 335 367 476 478 486 488 504 512
Total of N: 8170 = 2 x 5 x 19 x 43. (Switching to the other number associated with God, 13, ends up finding the other factor for China.)
3.6.1A hundred and sixty-six letters have values that are prime numbers. The sum of these primes: 671 = 11 x 61.
3.6.2Eight hundred and sixty-nine letters are not prime numbers. Their total has no feature, but 869 = 11 x 79.
3.7.1This feature demonstrates how China is tied into the prophecy. As mentioned earlier, the characters for China, 中國 have a numeric total of 3344. Add up the letters one by one tracking the cumulative totals for each letter. At the 580th letter, the cumulative letter total is divisible by 3344: 36784 = 24 x 112 x 19. SF: 49 = 72. SF: 14 = 2 x 7. It is exactly eleven times 3344, and eleven is also one of the factors of 3344. The sum of the cumulative totals: 11595909 = 3 x 13 x 19 x 15649.
3.7.2The positions of the letters also converge at this point since all the positions from 1 to 580 add up to 168490 (2 x 5 x 7 x 29 x 83. SF: 126 = 2 x 32 x 7).
3.7.3Note that 1 + 580 = 581 (7 x 83). The factors of 581 add up to 90, and 90 is very much like 580 in that all the numbers from 1 to 90 are divisible by 7 and 13: 4095 = 32 x 5 x 7 x 13.
3.7.3.1The process repeats: 1 + 90 = 91 (7 x 13). The factors of 91 add up to 20, and 20 is very much like 90 and 580 because all the numbers from 1 to 20 are divisible by 7: 210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7.
3.7.3.2The process repeats again: 1 + 20 = 21 (3 x 7). The factors of 21 add up to 10, but this time, the end result is not divisible by 7 or 13. All the numbers from 1 to 10 add up to 55 (5 x 11). The process ends with one of the factors for China.
3.7.3.3If we try to continue, 1 + 10 = 11, and there are no other factors. The end result is the factor 11 for China.
3.7.4What is the 580th letter of the passage? It is the seventh letter of Isaiah 8:23 (Hebrew chapter/verse division; 9:1 English chapter/verse division) and it's value is seventy!
3.7.5Whether one uses the Hebrew or English chapter/verse division, this verse is the thirteenth verse of the passage.
3.7.6The 580th letter sits in the third word of Isaiah 8:23, the value of which is 196 = 22 x 72 (a perfect square).
3.7.7.1This is the word translated in the RSV as gloom.
Two Chinese Bibles translate gloom as 幽暗. It takes 22 (2 x 11) brush strokes to write 幽暗.
3.7.7.2These two characters fall under the radicals 幺 and 日, which take 3 and 4 brush strokes each for a total of 7.
3.7.7.3The numeric values of these two characters, 1942 and 4917, total 6859 (19 x 19 x 19). There are no other factors. Three times it points to China. The sum of the factors is 57 (3 x 19). The sum of these factors leads to the other factor for China: 22 = 2 x 11. The final sum of the factors is 13. One might say the nation in gloom somehow came to the light from God. (Note that the difference between these two characters is 2975 = 52 x 7 x 17.)
Suppose we continued from the 580th letter, adding letter by letter. The next letter where the cumulative letter total is divisible by 3344 would be the 625th letter. Unfortunately there are no features like the 580th letter. Perhaps this is because the 580th letter is closer to the middle of the passage just as 中國 means Middle Kingdom
even though it isn't really in the centre.
3.7.8There are 455 letters after the 580th letter: 455 = 5 x 7 x 13.
3.7.8.1The first letter after the 580th letter is 80, and the last letter is 30. Thus for the first and last of this remaining section: 110 = 2 x 5 x 11.4
3.8Shouldn't Hebrew letters be used rather than Chinese characters? In modern Hebrew, China is spelled with three consonants: סין (Syna). The values of these letters are 60-10-50. (N.B. Hebrew is read from right to left, but the numbers here are presented left to right.)
The Hebrew letters for China (60-10-50) can be used to count through the chapters and verses seven times. Since there are only 2 chapters and 20 verses, the count wraps around to the beginning several times for each letter value. The same chapters and verses are repeated multiple times. Thus using the Hebrew letters for China seven times naturally produces a total divisible by seven. Using the letters thirteen times naturally produces a total divisible by thirteen. (It would have been different if the Hebrew letters were smaller in value.) But while the chapters and verses can't really be said to work
it is different with the words and letters because there are more words and letters than the total of the Hebrew letters for China.
3.8.1The Hebrew letters for China are used seven times to count through the words of the passage.
a) 60 70 120 180 190 240 41 51 101 161 171 221 22 32 82 142 152 b) 454 36 278 768 407 536 133 362 514 115 58 366 600 407 26 196 570 a) 202 3 13 63 (Count adjusted to 259 words.) b) 111 241 271 454 (Word found.)
Total: 6903 = 32 x 13 x 59. SF: 78 = 2 x 3 x 13.
3.8.2The Hebrew letters for China count once through the letters of the passage. (It does not get very far into the passage.)
60 70 120 (Count.) 30 40 6 (Letter found.)
Total: 76 = 22 x 19. One of the factors for China appears.
3.8.3The Hebrew letters for China are used seven times to count through the letters of the passage.
a) 60 70 120 180 190 240 300 310 360 420 430 480 540 550 600 660 670 b) 30 40 6 30 10 4 5 400 6 10 8 6 90 200 50 40 20 a) 720 780 790 840 (Count.) b) 400 40 6 300 (Letter found.)
Total: 1701 = 35 x 7. SF: 22 = 2 x 11. SF: 13.
3.8.4The Hebrew letters for China are used twenty-six times to count through the letters of the passage.
a) 60 70 120 180 190 240 300 310 360 420 430 480 540 550 600 660 670 b) 30 40 6 30 10 4 5 400 6 10 8 6 90 200 50 40 20 a) 720 780 790 840 900 910 960 1020 1030 45 105 115 165 225 235 285 b) 400 40 6 300 1 4 1 10 2 40 6 400 300 100 6 100 a) 345 355 405 465 475 525 585 595 645 705 715 765 825 835 885 945 b) 2 200 5 200 30 6 200 5 10 5 1 400 6 5 6 4 a) 955 1005 30 40 90 150 160 210 270 280 330 390 400 450 510 520 570 b) 30 70 30 5 1 6 90 40 10 10 40 70 10 6 6 2 40 a) 630 640 690 750 760 810 870 880 930 990 1000 15 (Count adjusted.) b) 5 40 30 3 30 50 6 30 30 40 2 20 (Letter found.)
Total: 4508 = 22 x 72 x 23.
3.8.5Since the Chinese characters have the factors of 11 and 19, the Hebrew letters for China are used 11 and 19 times to count through the words and letters.
3.8.5.1The Hebrew letters for China are used 11 times to count through the words.
a) 60 70 120 180 190 240 41 51 101 161 171 221 22 32 82 142 152 b) 454 36 278 768 407 536 133 362 514 115 58 366 600 407 26 196 570 a) 202 3 13 63 123 133 183 243 253 44 104 114 164 224 234 25 b) 111 241 271 454 282 66 59 175 408 390 31 61 207 111 61 31 a) Adjusted count. b) Word found.
Total: 8785 = 5 x 7 x 251.
3.8.5.2The Hebrew letters for China are used 19 times to count through the letters.
a) 60 70 120 180 190 240 300 310 360 420 430 480 540 550 600 660 670 b) 30 40 6 30 10 4 5 400 6 10 8 6 90 200 50 40 20 a) 720 780 790 840 900 910 960 1020 1030 45 105 115 165 225 235 285 b) 400 40 6 300 1 4 1 10 2 40 6 400 300 100 6 100 a) 345 355 405 465 475 525 585 595 645 705 715 765 825 835 885 945 b) 2 200 5 200 30 6 200 5 10 5 1 400 6 5 6 4 a) 955 1005 30 40 90 150 160 210 (Adjusted count.) b) 30 70 30 5 1 6 90 40 (Letter found.)
Total: 4028 = 22 x 19 x 53. SF: 76 = 22 x 19. Providentially, 19 produces a multiple of 19 with a second level of factors also divisible by 19.
3.8.5.3Eleven and nineteen are only two of the six factors for the numeric value of 中國. Thus the two factors are multiplied together. When the Hebrew letters for China are used 209 times (11 x 19) to count through the words of the passage, the result is 165893 (7 x 13 x 1823; SF: 1843 = 19 x 97). It is almost as if the more thorough the attempt, the more pertinent factors are produced, 7, 13, and 19.
3.8.5.4When the Hebrew letters for China are used 3344 times (full numeric value of 中國) to count through the words of the passage, the result is 2610125 (53 x 7 x 19 x 157. SF: 198 = 2 x 32 x 11. SF: 19).
3.8.5.5And of course the Hebrew letters for China must be used 3344 times to count through the letters of the passage as well: 581245 (5 x 7 x 16607).
3.8.5.6The Hebrew letters for China (60-10-50) appear 7, 93 and 43 times respectively in the passage. Together, all these letters total a very nice round 3500 (22 x 53 x 7; SF: 26 = 2 x 13).
3.8.5.6.1Starting with the first letter of the passage, search for the letters that spell China in Hebrew: 60-10-50. Note the position of the first letter valued 60. From that point, search for the next letter 10. Note that position. And from that point, search for the letter 50 and record its position. Repeat the process starting from the last position. This can be done six times.
Position (a) 25 28 54 268 270 273 768 796 802 807 832 860 941 958 Letter (b) 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 50 60 10 a) 959 965 995 1019 b) 50 60 10 50
The positions of these letters: 11620 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 83. SF: 99 = 32 x 11.
These positions are unique in that they can be subdivided into groups that are complementary opposites.
3.8.5.6.1.1Positions with an odd valued first digit:
54 768 796 941 958 959 965 995 1019
Total: 7455 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 71.
3.8.5.6.1.1.1The odd valued positions from 3.8.5.6.1.1 (after using the first digit, now use the last digit):
941 959 965 995 1019
Total: 4879 = 7 x 17 x 41. SF: 65 = 5 x 13.
3.8.5.6.1.1.2The even valued positions from 3.8.5.6.1.1:
54 768 796 958Total:2576 = 24 x 7 x 23. SF: 38 = 2 x 19. SF: 21 = 3 x 7.
3.8.5.6.1.2Positions with an even valued first digit:
25 28 268 270 273 802 807 832 860
Total: 4165 = 5 x 72 x 17.
3.8.5.6.1.2.1Odd positioned from 3.8.5.6.1.2:
25 268 273 807 860
Total: 2233 = 7 x 11 x 29.
3.8.5.6.1.2.2Even positioned from 3.8.5.6.1.2:
28 270 802 832
Total: 1932 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 23.
3.8.5.6.2.1 In the previous features, six sets of the Hebrew letters for Syna (China) were found in a single pass through the text. What happens if a second pass was made, ignoring the letters already found? Only one more set of Syna can be uncovered in positions 811, 836 and 863. (Thus in total only seven sets of Syna could be produced.)
The sum of the positions for this set: 2510 = 2 x 5 x 251. The only factor of note is 2. But this is extremely weak since every other number is an even number. However, the sum of the factors in the second level once again reveals a 2: 258 = 2 x 3 x 43, and the sum of the factors in the third level produces four 2s matching China's 3344: 48 = 24 x 3. In the final fourth level of factors the result is 11 (another factor for China).
3.8.5.6.2.2 Add the positions of the seventh set to the previous six sets: 14130 = 2 x 32 x 5 x 157. SF: 170 = 2 x 5 x 17. SF: 24 = 23 x 3. Once again a long series of 2s appear.
3.8.5.6.2.3 After the seventh set of Syna letters have been removed, there still are quite a number of letters with the values of 10 and 50. There just isn't a letter 60 to go with them for another complete set. These letters are in the following positions:
2 8 14 21 24 27 64 88 98 103 118 143 154 155 170 171 174 175 190 194 209 212 217 223 229 254 258 260 262 274 278 280 287 289 293 296 298 301 304 309 311 313 314 329 332 340 352 357 359 362 363 370 388 391 392 400 407 420 422 431 432 439 457 473 474 486 496 499 500 524 528 541 543 547 571 575 600 612 618 622 629 633 639 645 648 651 656 665 681 684 697 702 708 713 732 733 743 749 751 763 786 801 804 810 813 852 853 856 864 866 868 873 886 896 908 934 935 992 1020 1022 1027 1031
Total of the positions: 58835 = 5 x 7 x 412. SF: 94 = 2 x 47. SF: 49 = 72. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
3.8.5.6.2.4 These are the letters that remain:
10 10 10 10 10 50 10 10 10 10 10 10 50 50 50 10 10 10 10 10 10 50 50 50 50 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 50 50 10 10 10 50 50 10 10 10 10 10 50 10 50 10 10 10 10 50 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 50 50 10 10 10 10 50 10 10 50 50 10 50 50 50 10 50 10 10 10 50 10 10 10 10 10 50 10 10 10 50 10 10 10 10 10 50 10 10 50 50 10 10 10 50 50 50 10 10 10 10 10 50 50 10 10 50 10
Total of the letters: 2660 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 19. (Three factors for China appear.) The sum of the factors: 35 = 5 x 7. SF: 12 = 22 x 3. SF: 7.
3.8.5.6.2.5 The seventh Syna spans 53 letters. The positions of these letters have no feature unless it is in following the sum of the factors to the end.

Total of the positions: 44361 = 33 x 31 x 53. SF: 93 = 3 x 31. SF: 34 = 2 x 17. SF: 19. It was a 1 in 19 chance of ending at 19, the largest factor in China's 3344.
The 53 letters themselves add up to a total divisible by 19:60 1 50 2 200 70 300 6 300 40 30 5 40 3 6 30 30 5 2 4 40 10 40 6 5 10 400 5 30 300 200 80 5 40 1 20 30 400 1 300 20 10 10 30 4 10 30 4 30 50 6 2 50
Total: 3363 = 3 x 19 x 59.
3.8.5.6.2.6 There are 810 letters are before the seventh Syna. Their positions have no feature, but the sum of the letters is 51632 = 24 x 7 x 461. There are four factors of 2, a 1 in 16 chance matching China's 3344. The next sum of the factors once again displays a factor of 7 and two 2s: 476 = 22 x 7 x 17. In the third level, once again there are two 2s and a 7: 28 = 22 x 7. In the fourth level, the sum of the factors is 11, another factor for China. (See the Septuagint version of this same feature but with a different total!)
3.8.5.6.2.7 There are 172 letters are after the seventh Syna. Once again the positions have no feature, but the sum of the letters is 12341 (7 x 41 x 43). The sum of the factors is 91 (7 x 13). [This feature can also be found in the Septuagint.]
3.8.5.6.2.7.1 Of the 172 letters after the seventh Syna, 95 letters have a first digit that is odd:
50 50 30 50 5 10 5 300 5 70 30 300 10 100 1 300 30 1 10 70 90 1 30 3 1 10 70 300 300 30 30 5 5 300 5 30 300 30 1 10 50 100 90 70 30 1 70 30 30 30 5 10 50 1 5 30 70 5 300 9 90 100 5 70 5 70 70 30 100 50 1 10 5 5 90 1 70 300 5 7 1 300 30 1 50 10 10 70 100 50 30 10 300 1 30
Total: 6041 = 7 x 863
3.8.5.6.2.7.2 Of the 172 letters after the seventh Syna, 77 letters have a first digit that is even:
400 6 6 400 40 200 20 40 6 6 200 40 6 80 6 2 6 200 2 4 200 6 40 40 200 2 40 200 6 6 40 20 60 4 6 4 6 40 40 20 400 6 20 400 6 60 4 2 40 80 6 2 4 40 400 6 4 6 40 400 6 2 6 400 400 400 4 2 200 8 4 2 2 6 80 2 200
Total: 6300 = 22 x 32 x 52 x 7.
3.8.5.6.2.8 The difference between the letters before and after Syna: 39291 = 3 x 7 x 1871. This is no surprise since both groups were multiples of 7. What is unexpected is the sum of the factors: 1881 = 32 x 11 x 19. Two of China's factors appear.
3.8.5.6.2.9 Add the letters before and after Syna: 63973 = 7 x 13 x 19 x 37. A factor of 13 appears along with a factor for China. The sum of these factors: 76 = 22 x 19. (Another factor for China.)
3.8.5.6.2.9.1 The odd valued letters of the combined lists (before and after): 651 = 3 x 7 x 31.
3.8.5.6.2.9.2 The even valued letters of the combined lists (before and after): 63322 = 2 x 7 x 4523. SF: 4532 = 22 x 11 x 103. The sum of the factors has 3 of China's six factors.
It would seem the letters for Syna have been strategically positioned in the passage.
3.8.5.7.1What about using Syna's letters, 60-10-50, to pull every 60th, 10th, and 50th word? This doesn't result in anything. However, the total of Syna, 120 can pull every 120th word from the passage. Applying the total of the word to the list of words is more of a one to one correspondence. This pulls only two words: 278, and 536. The total is 814 (2 x 11 x 37). Two of the factors for China appear.
3.8.5.7.2Syna's total was applied to the words. Now Syna's letters are applied to the letters.
Every 60th letter: 30 6 30 4 5 6 10 6 90 50 40 400 40 300 1 1 10 Total: 1029 = 3 x 73.

Total of all these letters: 8288 = 25 x 7 x 37.
3.8.5.7.3Note that the first letter of Syna, 60, appeared exactly seven times in the passage. Using this value to extract every 60th letter produced 3 factors of 7! This leads to examining the positions in the passage where this letter appeared.
25 268 768 807 811 941 965
Total of the positions: 4585 = 5 x 7 x 131. SF: 143 = 11 x 13. The positions are also a multiple of 7. (See also the link to Matthew 21:43 with the Greek letter 60.)
3.8.5.7.3.1From the list of positions, take the odd positioned numbers:
25 768 811 965
Total: 2569 = 7 x 367. SF: 374 = 2 x 11 x 17.
3.8.5.7.3.2Take the even positioned numbers:
268 807 941

3.8.5.7.3.3Take the odd valued positions:
25 807 811 941 965

3.8.5.7.3.7The letter 60 appeared first in the 8th word of the passage, and appeared last in the 243rd word of the passage. These two words have a total of 511 (7 x 73). Providentially, these two words are also individually divisible by 7. The 8th word has a value of 336 (24 x 3 x 7). The 243rd word has a value of 175 (52 x 7).
3.8.5.7.3.8The letter 60's first appearance is as the 25th letter. It's last appearance is as the 965th letter. Thus the positions, first and last total 990 (2 x 32 x 5 x 11).
It would seem the letter 60 has a very fundamental role to play in the structure of the passage. Is this because it is the first letter of Syna (China)? Unfortunately the same cannot be said of 50, the last letter of Syna, or the letter 10. This requires more checking.
3.8.6There is a Hebrew word in the Bible that prior to the 1900s, Western scholars believed referred to China. (See: Smith's Bible Dictionary.) This is the land of Syene.
Lo, these shall come from afar, and lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Syene. (Isaiah 49:12)
The Hebrew word for Syene is סינים (Sinim). The KJV transliterates this word as Sinim
following the Hebrew letters. Why did the modern translators change this to Syene
? This is like translating Rehoboam to Robert. Translating this Hebrew word as Syene hides the true word Sinim. Were they trying to hide something? (Note: Google Translate™ equates סינים with Chinese people.
[Accessed: June 28, 2023], as does the Fonolexika Langenscheidt Hebrew-English Dictionary compiled by Professor Karl Feyerabend, Ph.d, of Cothen, Germany, 3rd edition, Berlin-Schoneberg.)
This Hebrew word has the values 60-10-50-10-40. These letter values can be used to count through the words and letters.

The Link To Matthew 21:43
The numeric total of Matthew 21:43 is 6137 = 17 x 19 x 19. There are two 19s. The 19s match the largest factor in the numeric value of 中國, China (3344 = 24 x 11 x 19). The sum of 6137's factors is 55 (5 x 11). The 11 once again matches one of the factors of China. In the third level, the sum of 55's factors is 16, or 24, pointing to China once more.
There are 19 words in Matthew 21:43, and 91 letters (a neat reversing of the digits.) Even the place values for the Greek letters has something: 1079 = 13 x 83. The sum of these factors is 96, which factors into a series of twos like the total for China: 25 x 3. In meaning and numbers, Matthew 21:43 goes with Isaiah 8:11-9:8.
The 6137th character in Big5 is 泏. It describes the manner in which water flows out, its effusion, or run off. The character seems appropriate to the meaning of Matthew 21:43 in that the kingdom of God flows away like water from those who do not produce its fruit. It is impossible to hold.
Adding the total for Matthew 21:43 to the total for Isaiah 8:11-9:8 would produce a total of 73473 (3 x 19 x 1289; SF: 1311 = 3 x 19 x 23). The sum of the factors has an extra 19. (Curiously, the 1311th character in Big5 is 洋. It's meaning, ocean, vast, foreign
, and points to the way of the sea
).
In Greek, China is spelled Κινα. The Greek numbers for these letters: 10-9-40-1. It's total is 60, exactly half the total for China in Hebrew. This is a one in sixty chance.
The Greek letters for China, Κινα (10-9-40-1) reside in exactly 13 of the 19 words.
a) 1 4 5 6 7 8 10 b) 14 279 169 301 301 870 137 c) 2 3 15 16 19 20 27 28 29 34 37 39 42 43 d) 9 1 9 40 9 1 1 9 1 40 1 9 9 1 a) 13 14 15 16 18 19 b) 20 284 67 548 511 398 c) 51 52 53 61 62 65 67 70 73 75 80 81 87 d) 10 1 9 1 9 40 9 9 40 9 10 1 1 a) Word position. b) Word value. c) Position of Κινα letter. d) Κινα letter in word.
Total of these 13 words: 3899 = 7 x 557.
The total of the letters is a square number: 289 = 17 x 17. This total does not seem to have any bearing on China until the sum of its factors is followed to the end: 34 = 2 x 17. SF: 19.
Only the 10th word has the most letters of Κινα (4 of them). Four other words have the fewest Κινα letters (1 each): 5, 7, 8, and 19. Providentially, the most and the least: 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 19 = 49 (7 x 7).
The positions of the Κινα letters in the 10th word total 161 (7 x 23).
The four words with the fewest Κινα letters have something different.
a) 5 7 8 19 b) 169 301 870 398 c) 19 29 34 87 d) 9 1 40 1
The total of their word positions: 39 = 3 x 13. SF: 16.
The total of their values: 1738 = 2 x 11 x 79.
The total of the letter positions for Κινα: 169 = 13 x 13.
Words with no letters from Κινα have no feature in their positions or totals. This conveniently emphasizes the significance of these letters.
Previously, each word having a Κινα letter was only considered once, no matter how many letters it had. This time, each word sum is added depending on the number of Κινα letters within. Multiply the total of each word by the number of Κινα letters that it has:
14 x 2 = 28 279 x 2 = 558 169 x 1 = 169 301 x 3 = 903 301 x 1 = 301 870 x 1 = 870 137 x 4 = 548 20 x 3 = 60 284 x 2 = 568 67 x 2 = 134 548 x 3 = 1644 511 x 2 = 1022 398 x 1 = 398
Total: 7203 = 3 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7! (The 7203rd character in Big5 is 迵. It's meaning: to understand thoroughly; to see clearly.) Jesus' statement concerning the transference of the Kingdom of God is something to be understood thoroughly. His warning to his people was that they see clearly what was happening.
In Matthew 21:43, no word has a total of 60 (the total of Κινα), but the eleventh word is 360 (6 x 60). The eleventh word stands out because eleven is a factor of 中國.
Ten Greek letters in Matthew 21:43 have the value 60. These letters just so happen to sit in positions that total 480 (8 x 60). [See also feature 3.8.5.7.3 for the Hebrew letter with the value 60.]
All this establishes a link with China between Matthew 21:43 and Isaiah 8:11-9:8.
Is this all coincidence? In feature 3.8.5.6.1, the Hebrew spelling for China was found uniquely positioned within the text of Isaiah 8:11-9:8. This can also be done with the values of the Greek letters from Matthew 21:43.

The Greek alphabet has two letters more than the Hebrew. These values, 500 and 600, are ignored. Thus the list is shortened slightly.

Two complete sets of the 89 letters can be found in Isaiah 8:11-9:8 in these letter positions:
22 544 566 589 768 815 887 941 952 956 156 162 167 544 557 768 887 973 993 1028 16 17 99 104 116 124 544 566 584 585 590 640 1008 1012 1017 99 544 555 556 776 808 887 941 1013 1016 4 25 26 28 44 544 572 768 792 1008 99 104 116 124 544 546 553 557 564 776 816 941 973 25 26 29 55 544 563 768 815 899 908 933 972 981 25 26 99 101 127 147 467 508 572 776 808 887 941 1013 1024 25 31 37 156 162 167 544 557 768 887 973 993 1028 16 17 99 104 116 124 544 566 584 585 590 640 1008 1012 1017 99 544 555 556 776 808 887 941 1013 1016 4 25 26 28 44 544 572 768 792 1008 99 104 116 124 544 546 553 557 564 776 816 941 973 25 26 29 55 544 563 768 815 899 908 933 972 981 25 26 99 101 127 147 467 508
Both sets go through Isaiah 8:11-9:8 eight times each for a total of sixteen times. After this, the pattern repeats. Sixteen times does not seem significant until the numeric value of 中國 (China) is considered. 中國's numeric value of 3344 factors as 16 x 11 x 19. This is a one in sixteen chance, twice as rare as a 7, and slightly more rare than 13.
The total of the positions: 93142 = 2 x 7 x 6653.
These positions can be further categorized with complementary opposites.
Positions that are in the first or last verse of a chapter: 18293 = 11 x 1663.
Positions that are in the first or last word of a verse: 11893 = 7 x 1699.
Positions that are the first or last letter of a word: 41475 = 3 x 52 x 7 x 79. SF: 99 = 32 x 11. Related to this are all the positions that are not first or last in a word: 93142 − 41475 = 51667 = 7 x 11 x 11 x 61. (Two 11s, factors of China, appear.)
66 (6 x 11) of these positions are not first/last as a verse, word or letter. Total of these positions: 42371 = 7 x 6053.
As the entire total is divisible by 7, this means positions that are first or last of something are also divisible by 7: 93142 − 42371 = 50771 = 7 x 7253. SF: 7260 = 22 x 3 x 5 x 112. (Two factors for China, 2 and 11, appear twice.)
Three positions are in the first verse of a chapter, and the first letter of a word.
29 37 29
Total: 95 = 5 x 19. The result has one of China's factors.
Seven positions are in the last verse of a chapter, and the last letter of a word.
589 585 640 1016 585 640 1016
Total: 5071 = 11 x 461. The result is a different China factor.
These two categories come together as a total divisible by 7: 5166 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 41. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.
Take every other position. The odd positioned total 45927 = 38 x 7.
The even positioned total 47215 = 5 x 7 x 19 x 71.
Every 13th position from the list:
a) 13 26 39 52 65 78 91 104 117 130 143 156 169 b) 167 124 556 572 776 908 776 557 566 808 792 941 972
Total line a: 7 x 132 An extra 13 appears along with a 7.
Total of the positions (b): 8515 = 5 x 13 x 131
Every 11th position in the list:
a) 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 110 121 132 143 154 165 176 b) 156 17 1008 1013 1008 816 899 467 37 16 640 941 792 776 815 147
Total of the positions: 9548 = 9548 = 22 x 7 x 11 x 31.
Twenty-one positions are divisible by 13:
a) 11 24 30 48 52 57 61 70 83 90 100 113 119 137 141 146 b) 156 104 585 26 572 104 546 26 26 572 156 104 585 26 572 104 a) 150 159 172 b) 546 26 26
Total of the positions (b): 4862 = 2 x 11 x 13 x 17. A new factor of 11 appears.
Ten positions are divisible by 22 (two of the factors for China).
a) 1 34 50 52 54 90 123 139 141 143 b) 22 1012 44 572 792 572 1012 44 572 792
Total of the positions (b): 5434 = 2 x 11 x 13 x 19. Another factor for China appears along with a 13.
Twenty positions are first and last of a chapter, verse, and or word.
a) 1 31 33 34 35 44 46 49 50 55 95 120 122 123 b) 22 590 1008 1012 1017 1013 4 28 44 1008 1013 590 1008 1012 a) 124 133 135 138 139 144 b) 1017 1013 4 28 44 1008
Total of line a: 1651 = 13 x 127. SF: 140 = 22 x 5 x 7. SF: 16 = 24.
Total of line b: 12483 = 32 x 19 x 73. SF: 98 = 2 x 72. SF: 16 = 24.
(Notice how both lines end with four factors of 2 like China.)
When the 91 letters of Matthew 21:43 are arranged in a 13 x 7 rectangle, the letters for China in Greek, Κινα, can be found clustered as a triangle at the right hand edge of the block, vertically centred.

(Note: Most maps of the world display the Western hemisphere on the left, Africa and Europe in the centre, and Asia on the right because the vastness of the Pacific has little to show. It is an interesting coincidence that the letters for Κινα cluster on the far right. Being in the centre is also another coincidence as China is north of Indo-China, and south of Siberia. The table of letters coincides with what is seen in most world maps.)
The four letters sit in three rows and two columns, marking out a letter T on its side. The sum of all letters within this T: 3577 = 72 x 73. SF: 87 = 3 x 29. SF: 32 = 25 SF: 10 = 2 x 5. SF: 7. Although the factors break down after the pair of 7s, the next set of the factors still points to China, and continues on to end with 7.
The triangle points to or emphasizes the middle row. The sum of all letters in this row: 679 = 7 x 97. SF: 104 = 23 x 13. SF: 19. The factors end with the largest factor for China, a 19.
The apex of the triangle sits in the second last column to the right. The total of all letters in this column: 780 = 22 x 3 x 5 x 13.
Comparing the results for the middle row and the second last column, the difference (780 − 679) is 101, a prime number that visually presents the one God who is Alpha and Omega.
There are only two 10s (the first Greek letter for China) in the table. They mark off an inner rectangle. The perimeter of this rectangle: 1558 = 2 x 19 x 41. SF: 62 = 2 x 31. SF: 33 = 3 x 11. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
The second Greek letter for China is 9. Eleven of them mark almost every row except for the last row. The last row, conveniently has a total of 999, even though no 9 sits in this row. The six rows marked by the letter 9 total 5138 = 2 x 7 x 367.
The third Greek letter for China is 40. Four of them mark symmetrical rows 2, 3, 5 and 6. Total of the rows: 3097 = 19 x 163. SF: 182 = 2 x 7 x 13. SF: 22 = 2 x 11. SF: 13. This means the rows not marked would also be divisible by 19: 3040 = 25 x 5 x 19. SF: 34 = 2 x 17. SF: 19.
The letter 40 also marks three columns, 3, 8 and 13. Total of these columns: 1240 = 23 x 5 x 31. SF: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7. SF: 12 = 22 x 3. SF: 7.
The last Greek letter for China is 1. There are ten occurrences of this letter. They mark every row except the 6th row. Total of the rows marked: 5215 = 5 x 7 x 149. SF: 161 = 7 x 23.
The letter 1 marks 7 columns: 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13. Total of the column numbers: 48 = 24 x 3. SF: 11. Total of the columns marked: 3537 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 131. SF: 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7. SF: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Columns not marked total 2600 = 23 x 52 x 13.
Starting with the 8th letter of Matthew 21:43, add up all the letters to the end of the verse, and wrap around to the beginning of the verse to continue adding up all the letters until the 70th letter is included. This covers a total of 154 letters. (154 = 2 x 7 x 11. Two of these three factors are also in the factors for China.)
This seems quite arbitrary and contrived, until a few Chinese ideas are considered. Chinese people like the number eight because it sounds like increasing fortune. Thus starting the sequence of letters with the eighth letter rather than the first or seventh can be considered a sign for Chinese people. Ending the sequence at the 70th letter follows the same idea. The number 70, 七十 (seven tens) in Cantonese sounds similar to 出實, meaning out definitely
, as in definitely escaping. The number of letters covered, 154 in Chinese is 一百五十四 (one hundred, five tens, four). This sounds similar to 一發唔實死, meaning once fortunate not definitely dead
(once one is fortunate, death is not definite). For Chinese people, there can be meaning in how this sequence of letters was obtained.

Total of these 154 positions: 6643 = 7 x 13 x 73. Any seven or multiple of seven consecutive positions would naturally be divisible by 7. Thus the factor of 7 is not really a feature. What is not expected is the factor of 13. Factor 13 indicates there might be more than meets the eye. It is at this point that the positions converge with the values of the letters.

The total of these 154 letter values: 10032 = 24 x 3 x 11 x 19. This is exactly three times the value of 中國's 3344.
Smaller groups of letters can be found within the 154 that are symmetrically positioned Nth and Nth last. The Nth and Nth last groups together are divisible by 13. They are also individually divisible by 13.

[The start position for one group is counted from the beginning. The start position for the second group is counted from the end. This also applies for the end position.]
Total of the positions (a + b): 1470 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 72.
Precisely 60 letter values in the list of 154 are odd valued. (Sixty is the value of China as a Greek word.)

(This feature is also related to Matthew 21:43, where the kingdom of God is taken away and transferred to another nation.)
If coincidences keep happening, it is no longer coincidence. It would seem Matthew 21:43 is intimately connected with Isaiah 8:11-9:8 and China.
The Importance Of Jesus' Statement
The importance of Jesus' statement in Matthew 21:43 can be seen when it is translated into other languages, especially languages that might be considered far from Christian
Western Europe. This is God’s way of encouraging all nations to bear fruits of righteousness. If they do so, they have a chance of receiving God’s Kingdom.
Here is the Russian Synodal Bible's translation of Matthew 21:43. This is the interlinear version produced by Google™. (Conversion of Russian into numbers.)

Total: 28294 = 2 x 7 x 43 x 47. SF: 99 = 32 x 11. (The sum of the factors point to China.)
Odd positioned words: 10577 = 7 x 1511. = 1518 = 2 x 3 x 11 x 23. SF: 39 = 3 x 13. SF: 16. (The end of the factors points to China.)
Even positioned words: 17717 = 7 x 2531.
In Russian, China is Китай. The numeric values of these Russian letters: 30 10 200 1 20. Since the letter й does not appear at all in the verse, finding Китай within the text is impossible. However, the other letters for China can be found. These letters appear in the following positions of the Russian translation of Matthew 21:43.
8 24 45 47 65 3 19 22 27 31 39 56 9 13 16 33 36 49 58 30 10 10 10 10 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
The total of the positions: 600 = 23 x 3 x 52. This is ten times the value of the Greek spelling for China, and five times the value of the Hebrew spelling for China.
The total of the letters: 1477 = 7 x 211.
(If the alternate method of converting Russian to numbers is used, the total is 129213682. (2 x 132 x 53 x 7213. SF: 7294 = 2 x 7 x 521.) There are two 13s, and the sum of the factors is divisible by 7. The odd positioned words: 49456082 = 2 x 13 x 1902157. The even positioned words: 79757600 = 25 x 52 x 13 x 7669.)

Odd valued words: 10864 = 24 x 7 x 97. SF: 112 = 24 x 7.
Even valued words: 26586 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 211.
Unlike the Russian Synodal Bible, even the letters for China (Китай) have no feature in this version. Perhaps this is because this version was not done in Russia but in America.
A check with the Persian version shows numeric features. (Farsi translation is from the Wordproject, a registered domain of International Biblical Association, a non-profit organization registered in Macau, China. See this for converting Persian to numbers.)

The total: 94157 = 7 x 13451. SF: 13458 = 2 x 3 x 2243. SF: 2248 = 23 x 281. SF: 287 = 7 x 41. SF: 48 = 24 x 3. SF: 11. The link with China is at first very weak in the first sum of the factors. It strengthens in the second level. It becomes divisible by 7 in the third level. It matches the smallest factors for China in the fourth level, and in the fifth and final level ends with 11, another factor for China.
Words with an odd valued first digit: 66077 = 11 x 6007. SF: 6018 = 2 x 3 x 17 x 59.
Words with an even valued first digit: 28080 = 24 x 33 x 5 x 13. SF: 35 = 5 x 7. SF: 12 = 22 x 3. SF: 7.
China in Farsi is چین. The letter values from the Farsi: 7 5000 2000. Curiously, the total is 7007. (72 x 11 x 13. SF: 38 = 2 x 19. SF: 21 = 3 x 7. SF: 10 = 2 x 5. SF: 7.) There are two factors of 7, one factor of 13, and a factor of 11 matching one of the factors of China's 3344. The sum of the factors alternate between being divisible by 7 and not being divisible by 7. In the first sum of the factors, 19, the other factor for China appears.
Similar to the Russian Synodal Bible, only some of the Farsi letters for China can be found in the verse.

Total of the positions: 266 = 2 x 7 x 19. SF: 28 = 22 x 7. SF: 11. Once again one of China's factors appear with the factor 7, and 11 shows up at the end.
The total of the letters found doesn't seem to reveal anything until the chain of factors is followed to the end: 34000 = 24 x 53 x 17. SF: 40 = 23 x 5. SF: 11. It ends with one of China's factors.
(Note: The relationship between Persia and China actually goes back three thousand years to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.)
Even Matthew 21:43 in the Chinese Union Version (CUV) also has numeric features when 神
(yes there is a space included) is replaced with the proper Chinese term for the one supreme God, 上帝. (See: A Chinese Coincidence.)

China in Chinese consists of two characters, 中國. Only 國 appears in the CUV translation of Matthew 21:43. Providentially it is the eleventh character of the verse, matching one of the factors of 中國's 3344. Everything before this character totals 14875. (53 x 7 x 17. SF: 39 = 3 x 13.)
Note: Russian and Farsi were chosen because these nations succeeded two of the empires in Daniel's vision (Daniel 2:32). Chinese was chosen because China appears to be the subject in several of Isaiah's prophecies. (English, successor to the Roman empire, was not chosen because the current number system for English has no value for the first person singular.)
Out of curiosity, I considered the Korean for Matthew 21:43. (The source of this translation is also from the Wordproject.) Unfortunately, there is a difference in the arrangement of the alphabet between North Korea and South Korea. This forced me to consider using Unicode. Surprisingly it produced several results. (Note: Some of the Korean symbols are actually combinations of symbols, while others are stand alone symbols.)

(Since odd and even numbers are determined by the last digit, it is natural to consider the same for the first digit.)
First digit odd valued: 571935 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 419.
First digit even even valued: 1481543 = 7 x 113 x 1873.
Numbers From The Septuagint
Jesus' statement in Matthew 21:43 was about Israel losing the kingdom of God and another nation gaining it. This can be seen in the numbers from the Hebrew text of Isaiah 8:11-9:8 where 7 and 13 have been replaced in many numeric features with 11 and 19. Although 7 and 13 are in some features, they are not as plentiful as in previous studies. This is because the prophecy has shifted from Israel to another nation. The Greek text of Isaiah 8:11-9:7 (Hebrew chapter/verse division) in the Septuagint is divisible by 7, and 13 twice! When Revelation 1:8's principles of complementary opposites are applied, the Greek text consistently produces totals divisible by 7 and 13. It is as if the 7s and 13s were moved from the Hebrew to the Greek.
Are the Greeks the object of the prophecy? No. The meaning of the prophecy does not fit the Greeks. The Greek language is borrowed to illustrate the shift away from Israel.
CAUTION concerning the Septuagint: This is the first time text from the Septuagint is used on this web site for numbers. There are several reasons for this.
- God warned Judah never to return to Egypt, and that they would be cursed if they did so (Jeremiah 42:14-22). The Septuagint was written in Egypt.
- The Septuagint represents the understanding of the Jews of their scripture around 300 B.C. But if they did not understand or accept what the prophets had written, then translation to Greek would also be impaired.
- A comparison of the Hebrew and Greek for Isaiah 8:11-9:7 clearly shows the Greek is an interpretation, not a direct translation. Some details are completely missing. Other details in the Greek are not even in the Hebrew!
Despite these issues, Isaiah 8:11-9:7 in the Greek has numeric features. Why would an inferior Greek interpretation have numeric features? Perhaps it is to show that the Gentile nation receiving the kingdom of God knows even less about God than the Jews in Egypt. As the Apostle Paul noted:
When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. (Romans 2:14)
Since Israel was imperfect when they had the kingdom, then the Gentile nation could also be imperfect. However, not knowing the law, does not prevent them from doing what the law requires. And in doing what the law required, they would naturally produce the fruit that gives them the kingdom.
The Greek text used in this part is from Bibleworks 3.06, which contains the LXX Septuaginta edited by Alfred Rahlfs, copyright© 1935 by the Wurttembergische Bibelanstalt/Deutsche Biblegesellschaft, Stuttgart. (N.B. There is more than one version of the Septuagint. What follows below only applies to this version.)
4Total of Greek passage: 152607 = 3 x 7 x 132 x 43. The numbers have a very promising start even if the text is lacking compared with the Hebrew.
4.0.1Number of chapters: 2.
4.0.2Number of verses in passage: 20.
4.0.3Number of words in passage: 468 = 22 x 32 x 13. SF: 23. (In the Hebrew the number of words was divisible by 7. Here it is divisible by 13. This is almost twice as difficult to obtain as a 7.)
4.0.4Number of letters in passage: 2242 = 2 x 19 x 59. SF: 80 = 24 x 5. SF: 13. Even in the Greek, two of China's factors appear. The sum of the factors duplicates the four 2s. The sum of the second level factors ends up with 13.
There's less in the Greek chapter totals compared with the Hebrew.

4.1.1.4Three verses are divisible by 13.
Verse position: 3 5 18 Verse total: 2548 6578 9854
Total of the positions: 26 = 2 x 13. The positions point back to God’s name.
Total of the verses: 18980 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 73. SF: 95 = 5 x 19. The factor of 13 was expected. What was not expected was the factor of 19 for China in the next level.
4.1.1.5.1Verses with an odd number of words:

Total of the verses: 103792 = 24 x 13 x 499. SF: 520 = 23 x 5 x 13. (The positions of these verse have no feature like 4.1.1.5.2 below, but there is a second level of factors.)
4.1.1.5.2Verses with an even number of words:
Position: 3 5 6 10 11 12 14 15 Verse: 2548 6578 2747 6897 7743 6444 7063 8795
Total of the positions: 76 = 2 x 2 x 19. (A factor for China appears.)
Total of the verses: 48815 = 5 x 13 x 751.
4.1.1.6.1Only the last verse has a total that is a prime number: 2141. This means the positions of the 19 verses before it add to a total divisible by 19: 190 = 2 x 5 x 19. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
4.1.1.6.2The last verse, the 20th, is also the lowest valued verse: 2141. The highest valued word is the 13th verse: 14062.
4.1.1.6.2.1The lowest plus the highest: 2141 + 14062 = 16203 = 3 x 11 x 491.
4.1.1.6.2.2The positions of the lowest and highest verses: 20 + 13 SF: 33 = 3 x 11. The verses and their positions both have a factor of 11. The sum of the factors here is divisible by 7: 14 = 2 x 7.

Total of the words (line c): 25663 = 11 x 2333.
4.2.3Twenty-two pairs of words can be found that are positioned Nth and Nth last and together are divisible by 7. (22 = 2 x 11. SF: 13.)
Nth word: 2 11 13 14 16 17 22 41 47 53 84 97 110 Value: 42 324 281 720 272 196 46 210 20 205 460 295 675 Nth last: 467 458 456 455 453 452 447 428 422 416 385 372 359 Value: 84 250 559 183 680 651 360 84 197 901 86 20 263 Sum: 126 574 840 903 952 847 406 294 217 1106 546 315 938 Nth word: 111 132 175 188 194 195 197 223 231 Value: 200 1 199 485 50 823 690 204 104 Nth last: 358 337 294 281 275 274 272 246 238 Value: 1221 321 60 222 307 164 10 20 50 Sum: 1421 322 259 707 357 987 700 224 154
Sum of positions: 10318 = 2 x 7 x 11 x 67. Since there are 468 words, this means any pairing of N and Nth last produces a total divisible by 7. (1 + 468 = 469.) Thus it is no surprise the sum of the positions is divisible by 7. The real feature is the 11 in the factors, a factor for China.
The total of the sums is a surprise with an extra 13: 13195 = 5 x 7 x 13 x 29.
4.2.4Eighteen word pairs can be found that are positioned Nth and Nth last with totals together divisible by 13.

Total of the sums: 8996 = 22 x 13 x 173. SF: 190 = 2 x 5 x 19. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
4.2.5.1Beginning with the first word, take every Nth word after. The following values of N produce totals divisible by 13:
48 50 71 94 116 131 147 148 150 156 163 164 166 180 185 188 198 203 213 219 221
Total of N: 3211 = 132 x 19. An extra factor of 13 accompanies the factor for China.
4.2.5.2Take every Nth word. The following values of N produce totals divisible by 13.
46 86 87 89 120 134 150 151 158 162 163 178 179 191 192

The sum of the positions is a symmetrical number: 14441 = 7 x 2063.
The sum of these words produces nothing, but the cumulative totals at each point yield an extra 7: 4786810 = 2 x 5 x 72 x 9769. The sum of these factors points to China: 9790 = 2 x 5 x 11 x 89.
4.2.11.2Tracking cumulative totals divisible by 13 produces two results divisible by 11. This time there are 47 words where this is true.

B: Word value. C: Cumulative total.
Total of the positions: 10593 = 32 x 11 x 107.
Total of the words: 16775 = 52 x 11.
The sum of the cumulative totals is naturally divisible by 13: 3524729 = 13 x 17 x 41 x 389. The sum of these factors show this is a prophecy about people: 460 = 22 x 5 x 23.
4.2.11.3Refine the tracking for cumulative totals divisible by 7 and 13, or 91. There are only eight.
A B C 2 42 1092st 202 260 68159st 281 222 94640st 329 839 112294st 345 249 116935st 436 959 144053st 443 20 145600st 468 207 152607st A: Word position. B: Word value. C: Cumulative total.
Total of the positions: 2506 = 2 x 7 x 179.
Total of the words: 2798 = 2 x 1399. There doesn't seem to be anything with the words unless the factor of 2 is accepted because of China. The sum of the factors: 1401 = 3 x 467. SF: 470 = 2 x 5 x 47. SF: 54 = 2 x 33 SF: 11. The end result is 11.
Sum of the cumulative totals: 835380 = 22 x 33 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 17. SF: 55 = 5 x 11. SF: 16 = 24. (Four factors of 2 match China's 3344.)
4.2.11.4At the sixty-sixth word, the cumulative total has five of the six factors for China and a 13: 21736 = 23 x 11 x 13 x 19. SF: 49 = 72. SF: 14 = 2 x 7. Sixty-six is 2 x 3 x 11, and the sum of the factors is 24 (matching China again). The 66th word is found in Isaiah 8:14. It is the 20th word of the verse and has a value of 346 (346 = 2 x 173. SF: 175 = 52 x 7). The word is πετρας (petras; rock), the stone of offense and stumbling. Curiously, the numbers have selected the very reason for the kingdom of God being lost and transferred. The stone of offense and stumbling in the Chinese Union Version of the Bible is 絆腳的石頭跌人的磐石. It's numeric total: 31317 = 3 x 11 x 13 x 73. The sum of the factors is a perfect 100 (2 x 2 x 5 x 5. SF: 14 = 2 x 7).
N.B. In the original Hebrew, the result was exact to the word. Here in the Greek, the result is not as exact, requiring the phrase concerning the rock. This fits the inexact nature of the interpretation of Hebrew to Greek in the Septuagint.
4.2.12China, in Chinese is 中國. The values of the two characters are 101 and 3243 respectively. No word in Greek has a value of 3243, but there are three Greek words in the passage with a total of 101. These three words are the 130th, 227th, and 290th words of the passage. The sum of the positions of these Greek words is a prime number, 647. Since not much can be done with a prime number, and since the passage is all about God hiding His face from Israel, it would seem reasonable to turn elsewhere for the number 647. The 647th character in Big5 is 沖, half of which is exactly 中 in 中國.
The numeric value of 沖 is 1043, which incredibly factors as 7 x 149. The sum of the factors is a multiple of 13: 156 = 22 x 3 x 13. These features strengthen the idea that China is the subject of the text.
沖's meaning: (of water) to dash against; to mix with water; to infuse; to rinse; to flush; to develop (a film); to rise in the air; to clash; to collide with.
Might this be washing of water with the word
? (Ephesians 5:26) Many explanations could be made from the meaning of 沖.
4.2.12.1Seeing how words with the value of 101 worked so well, how about word positions of 101? Take every 101st word:
101 202 303 404 69 260 69 379
Total of the words: 777 = 3 x 7 x 37.
4.2.12.2The first and the last words from 4.2.12.1:
69 379
Total: 448 = 26 x 7.
4.2.12.3Words that are not last from 4.2.12.1:
260 69
Total: 329 = 7 x 47.
4.2.12.4Take every 101st word starting from the end of the passage:
202 701 1431 690
Total: 3024 = 24 x 33 x 7.
4.2.12.5From 4.2.12.1, the result was a total of 777. In Big5, the 777th character is 卦.
卦 [gua4] divinatory diagram; one of the eight divinatory trigrams of the Book of Changes 易經|易经[Yi4 jing1]; one of the sixty-four divinatory hexagrams of the Book of Changes 易經|易经[Yi4 jing1].
In the current context, the character could be considered as prophecy
.
From 4.2.12.4, the result was a total of 3024. In Big5, the 3024th character is 搬.
搬 [ban1] to move (i.e. relocate oneself); to move (something relatively heavy or bulky); to shift; to copy indiscriminately.
Thus 卦搬 could be prophesying a transfer or 搬卦 could be transferring a prophecy, which is what Jesus warned in Matthew 21:43.
4.2.12.6The difference between the results from 4.2.12.1 and 4.2.12.4: 3024 − 777 = 2247 = 3 x 7 x 107. The factor of 7 is natural and not a feature. However, the sum of the factors is something else: 117 = 32 x 13. And finally, the sum of these factors is 19, pointing back to China.
4.2.12.7If so much could be found for the character 中, what about the other character 國? No Greek word in the text has a total of 3243, but the cumulative totals of the words could be checked for factors of 3243 (3 x 23 x 47). At the 39th word (3 x 13; SF: 16), the word is 399 (3 x 7 x 19). The cumulative total is 11844 (22 x 32 x 7 x 47) having two of the factors for 3243. Three separate strands of data converge.
4.2.12.8This time try the two smaller factors of 3243, 3 and 23. The product is 69. Go through the cumulative totals for the words finding all those divisible by 69. There are 12 of them.
a) 64 65 112 162 171 172 225 260 295 346 b) 269 690 113 450 689 69 682 1385 171 20 c) 20700 21390 35259s 52026t 56373 56442 75141 86802 98877 116955 a) 413 432 (Word position.) b) 188 20 (Word value.) c) 137310 142209 (Cumulative total.)
Total of the positions (a): 2717 = 11 x 13 x 19. The factor for God appears with the two largest factors for China.
Total of the words (b): 4746 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 113.
Sum of the cumulative totals: 899484 = 22 x 3 x 23 x 3259. SF: 3289 = 11 x 13 x 23. SF: 47. Once again everything appears to converge when the cumulative total is related to China.
4.3Now we drill down into the letters of the Septuagint passage. Take every other letter. (Since there are over 2000 letters, the data will not be shown for many of these features.)
4.3.1The odd positioned letters: 76265 = 5 x 7 x 2179. SF: 2191 = 7 x 313.
4.3.1.1From the odd positioned letters, find all those whose first digit is odd. The result is a number with a factor of 19: 23883 = 3 x 19 x 419. SF: 441 = 32 x 72
4.3.1.2From the odd positioned letters, find all those whose first digit is even. The result is a number with the other factor for China: 52382 = 2 x 11 x 2381. The sum of the factors is once again divisible by 7, and also by another 19: 2394 = 2 x 32 x 7 x 19.
4.3.2The even positioned letters: 76342 = 2 x 72 x 19 x 41. SF: 76 = 22 x 19. (China shows up twice.)
4.3.3Odd positioned groups of 19 letters from 4.3: 75452 = 22 x 13 x 1451. (Why is it that only groups of 19 work? Because it points to China.)
4.3.3.1The odd valued letters from 4.3.3: 1924 = 22 x 13 x 37.
4.3.3.2The even valued letters from 4.3.3: 73528 = 23 x 7 x 13 x 101.
4.3.3.3Letters from 4.3.3 with an odd valued first digit: 25584 = 24 x 3 x 13 x 41. SF: 65 = 5 x 13.

4.3.4Letters where the first digit is even valued: 102284 = 22 x 7 x 13 x 281.
4.3.5Divide the letters into groups of 38 and add each group. Separate the groups by the odd or even value of the total.
4.3.5.1Odd valued groups of 38 letters: 64649 = 13 x 4973. This category of letters produces 83 additional numeric features.
4.3.5.2Even valued groups of 38 letters: 87958 = 2 x 13 x 17 x 199. SF: 231 = 3 x 7 x 11. SF: 21 = 3 x 7. This second category of letters produces 779 additional numeric features.
4.3.6A hundred and sixty-two letters are divisible by 7. Their sum produces an extra factor of 7: 5292 = 22 x 33 x 72.
4.3.7The middle N letters are divisible by 13 when N is one of the following values:
2232 2206 2160 2152 2126 2106 2054 2022 2008 2006 2002 1966 1956 1948 1922 1920 1914 1878 1840 1792 1734 1718 1696 1678 1652 1624 1618 1598 1584 1578 1570 1516 1496 1492 1474 1450 1418 1350 1226 1202 1172 1164 1144 1142 1118 1096 1072 1016 1006 972 922 912 886 878 826 822 820 806 800 794 746 688 658 634 632 630 538 532 518 502 496 492 444 418 408 396 326 312 302 264 242 238 234 224 214 196 190 164 98 76 48 16
Total of N: 102128 = 24 x 13 x 491. (Four factors of 2 match China's 3344.)
4.3.8.1The letters can be arranged in a 59 x 19 x 2 block. The perimeter of both levels of the block: 19552 = 25 x 13 x 47. SF: 70 = 2 x 5 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
4.3.8.2The perimeter on the surface block: 10241 = 72 x 11 x 19. SF: 44 = 22 x 11. (The perimeter on the other layer is 9311, a prime number with no features.)
4.3.8.3Odd positioned columns: 78421 = 7 x 17 x 659.
4.3.8.4Even positioned columns: 74186 = 2 x 72 x 757.
4.3.8.5Odd positioned rows: 78128 = 24 x 19 x 257. (No corresponding feature with the even positioned rows.)
4.3.8.6Five perimeters on both layers: 79112 = 23 x 11 x 29 x 31. SF: 77 = 7 x 11.
4.4When the letters are added up one by one, the cumulative total will occasionally become divisible by 209 (11 x 19; two of the six factors for China). This happens 16 times. (Sixteen is four 2s, the other four factors for China.'s 3344)

Total of these letters: 1534 = 2 x 13 x 59.
Sum of the cumulative totals: 837045 = 32 x 5 x 11 x 19 x 89. SF: 130 = 2 x 5 x 13.
4.5In Greek, China is spelled Κινα (Kina). These Greek letters have the values 10-9-40-1 for a total of 60, half the 120 value of the Hebrew סין (Syna). Go through the Septuagint passage looking for the letter Κ and record its position. Continue from that point searching for the next letter ι, followed by ν and α. By the time one reaches the 2240th letter position, which is the third last letter, one would have completed exactly 49 sets of Κινα!
The total of all 49 sets of Κινα would be 2940 = 22 x 3 x 5 x 72. This is not surprising since the value of Κινα was multiplied by 49. The surprise is in the resulting sum of the factors. The sum of the factors is 26 (2 x 13) a number equivalent to God’s name in Hebrew.
Forty-nine sets of 4 letters each would be a total of 196 letters or positions.

Extracting 49 sets of Κινα still leaves 47 occurrences of the letter Κ, 189 of the letter ι, 124 of the letter ν, and 212 of the letter α. The total of these remaining letters of Κινα: 7343 = 7 x 1049. The sum of the factors is 1056, and in turn it factors as 25 x 3 x 11, covering 5 of the six factors for China's 3344.
4.5.1Twenty-eight (22 x 7) of the positions of the letters in 4.5 are divisible by 7.
a) 2 20 29 33 38 44 59 64 71 77 88 89 96 97 102 b) 14 280 350 406 420 448 721 819 875 959 1057 1064 1120 1134 1162 c) 9 1 10 10 9 1 40 1 40 10 1 10 1 10 9 a) 112 129 141 162 163 165 178 180 187 192 193 195 196 b) 1232 1449 1596 1981 1988 2009 2086 2093 2142 2198 2212 2233 2240 c) 1 10 10 9 40 10 9 1 40 1 10 40 1 a) Position in the list of 196. b) Position in the passage. c) Κινα letter value.
The sum of the positions in the list of 196 (line a) points to China: 3102 = 2 x 3 x 11 x 47. SF: 63 = 3 x 3 x 7. SF: 13.
The total of line c: 344 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 43. Factors of 2 aren't very special, but three of them together would be half of China's six factors, a 1 in 8 chance. This is more than 1 in 7. SF: 49 = 7 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
4.5.2Sixteen (24 four of the six factors for China) of the positions of the letters in the passage in 4.5 are divisible by 13.
a) 3 16 36 64 85 90 111 116 134 136 151 157 164 180 b) 39 221 416 819 1040 1066 1222 1261 1521 1534 1794 1898 1989 2093 c) 40 1 1 1 10 9 40 1 9 1 40 10 1 1 a) 189 191 (Position in the list of 196.) b) 2171 2197 (Position in the passage.) c) 10 40 (Κινα letter value.)
The total (line b) is naturally 21281 = 13 x 1637. The sum of the factors points to China: 1650 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 11. The sum of these factors goes back to God’s name: 26 = 2 x 13.
The sum of the Greek letters for China (c): 215 = 5 x 43. There does not seem to be any link to God or China until the sum of the factors is considered: 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3. The sum of these factors is 11.
4.5.3Exactly fourteen (2 x 7) of the positions (column B) in 4.5 are divisible by 11 (a factor of China).
a) 1 10 17 37 53 80 87 112 115 133 146 148 173 195 b) 11 176 253 418 671 968 1056 1232 1254 1496 1705 1760 2057 2233 c) 10 9 10 10 10 1 40 1 40 10 9 1 10 40
However, the sum of line b produces nothing extra: 15290 = 2 x 5 x 11 x 139.
4.5.4Twelve of the positions in column B in 4.5 are divisible by 19.
28 37 42 70 89 100 103 115 141 153 158 170 342 418 437 874 1064 1159 1178 1254 1596 1824 1900 2033 1 10 9 9 10 1 40 40 10 10 9 9
Sum of line b: 14079 = 3 x 13 x 192. There is an extra 19 and a 13.
4.5.5Precisely 14 of the the positions in 4.5's column B are in the first word of a verse.
a) 173 176 178 534 536 733 984 986 1107 1109 1203 1601 2197 2198 b) 10 9 40 10 9 1 10 9 10 9 1 9 40 1 a) Position in the passage. b) Κινα letter value.
Total of line a: 13715 = 5 x 13 x 211.
Total of line b: 168 = 23 x 3 x 7. SF: 16 = 24.
Unfortunately there is no corresponding feature with positions in the last word of a verse.
4.5.6A hundred and fourteen of the positions in 4.5's column B are the first or last letter of a word.

Total of line a: 126139 = 13 x 31 x 313. SF: 357 = 3 x 7 x 17.
Total of line b: 1904 = 24 x 7 x 17. SF: 32 = 25.
4.5.7Ten of the positions in 4.5's column B are in the first or last verse of a chapter, and are the first or last letter of a word.

Total of line a: 12452 = 2 x 2 x 11 x 283.
Total of line b: 209 = 11 x 19. (Both lines have factors from China.)
4.5.8These 196 letters sit in 196 words. The words are listed below. Some are listed twice since they have more than one letter of Κινα.
449 449 492 225 307 91 307 561 399 399 399 401 20 20 46 901 20 20 676 676 229 622 45 96 20 20 45 330 178 178 45 502 20 20 575 575 20 20 828 828 20 20 419 20 20 20 675 1048 339 622 664 20 20 20 45 207 559 559 45 20 20 20 689 689 15 199 1339 561 527 527 527 84 664 50 50 50 270 244 244 685 20 20 41 327 20 20 200 682 20 20 779 779 20 20 147 711 20 20 1385 1385 20 20 242 20 410 151 151 20 270 438 45 1385 360 360 950 701 20 20 147 222 685 685 685 20 274 274 685 1081 20 20 410 410 220 20 941 941 20 20 100 507 321 182 941 20 263 449 202 20 253 734 734 20 829 829 193 20 20 20 191 191 20 20 267 901 20 20 238 561 270 244 244 218 20 20 147 177 959 959 348 20 430 430 430 20 239 239 280 20 559 559 250 250 449 449 80 207

The total of the set numbers (a) is naturally divisible by 7. In this case it is divisible by an extra 7: 196 = 22 x 72. Total of the positions (b): 36218 = 2 x 7 x 13 x 199. SF: 221 = 13 x 17.
4.5.9.4Every 11th set:
Set number (a): 11 22 33 44 Position total of set (b): 1766 4195 5817 8242
Total of the positions (b): 20020 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13.
4.5.9.5The values of God’s name in Hebrew count through the 49 set totals 7 times.
a) 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 b) 10 15 21 26 36 41 47 52 13 18 24 29 39 44 c) 10 15 21 26 36 41 47 3 13 18 24 29 39 44 d) 1694 2853 4013 4681 6459 7937 8548 706 2486 3522 4451 4993 7352 8242 a) 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 10 5 6 5 b) 50 6 16 21 27 32 42 47 53 9 19 24 30 35 c) 1 6 16 21 27 32 42 47 4 9 19 24 30 35 d) 111 1291 3197 4013 4788 5715 8061 8548 825 1644 3700 4451 5250 6301 a) Value from the Hebrew name. b) Count. c) Count adjusted to 49. d) Set total found.
Total: 125832 = 23 x 3 x 72 x 107. SF: 130 = 2 x 5 x 13.
4.5.9.6From the list in 4.9, find groups of sets Nth and Nth last that individually and together are divisible by 13.
Start position of group: 7 12 12 18 End position of group: 22 17 20 20 Total of both groups: 147940 55471 82849 27378
Total of the start and end positions of each group: 128 = 27. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
Sum of the pair groups: 313638 = 2 x 3 x 13 x 4021. The 13 was expected, but the sum of the factors is unexpected: 4039 = 7 x 577.
4.5.9.7.1From the 49 set totals, one could take every Nth set. The following values of N produce sequences divisible by 7.
5 6 7 11 15
Total of N: 44 = 22 x 11. (One factor for China shows up.)
4.5.9.7.2From the 49 set totals, beginning with the first set and taking every Nth set after, the following values of N produce a total divisible by 13. There is actually only one that works. This is when N is 11, a number from China's factors.
4.5.9.7.3From the 49 set totals, taking every Nth set, the following values of N produce totals divisible by 13.
7 11 20
Total of N: 38 = 2 x 19. SF: 21 = 3 x 7. (Factor 19 for China appears.)
4.5.9.8.1Exactly 28 of the 49 are odd valued. (Total of the set positions: 131486 [nf].)
4.5.9.8.2Precisely 21 of the 49 are even valued. (Total of the set positions: 94966 [nf].)
4.5.9.8.3The difference between the odd valued and even valued: 131486 − 94966 = 36520 = 23 x 5 x 11 x 83. SF: 105 = 3 x 5 x 7.
4.5.9.9.1Eight of the set totals are prime numbers:
Set number (a): 2 6 21 24 29 35 38 41 Total of positions (b): 461 1291 4013 4451 4993 6301 7151 7937
Total of line a: 196 = 22 x 72.
4.5.9.9.2Forty-one of the set totals are not prime numbers:
a) 1 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 b) 111 706 825 1067 1347 1435 1644 1694 1766 2168 2486 2716 2853 3197 a) 17 18 19 20 22 23 25 26 27 28 30 31 32 b) 3350 3522 3700 3854 4195 4291 4582 4681 4788 4880 5250 5337 5715 a) 33 34 36 37 39 40 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 b) 5817 6078 6459 6895 7352 7625 8061 8149 8242 8347 8481 8548 8740 a) 49 (Set number.) b) 8900 (Total of the positions.)
Total of line a: 1029 = 3 x 73.
Total of line b: 189854 = 2 x 7 x 71 x 191.
4.5.9.10.1When the set totals are added one by one, there are six instances where the cumulative total would be divisible by 7.
Set number: 16 29 30 36 37 41 Position total: 3197 4993 5250 6459 6895 7937 Cumulative total: 25767 81067 86317 122024 128919 158984
Total of the set numbers: 189 = 33 x 7. SF: 16 = 24.
4.5.9.10.2When the set totals are added one by one, there are only two instances where the cumulative total is divisible by 13.
Set number: 2 40 Position total: 461 7625 Cumulative total: 572 151047
Total of the set numbers: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7.
4.5.9.10.3When the set totals are added one by one, there is only one case where the cumulative total is divisible by 19. This is at the 30th set. The total of the positions is 5250 (2 x 3 x 53 x 7). At this point, the cumulative total is 86317 (7 x 11 x 19 x 59; SF: 96 = 25 x 3; SF: 13). It is divisible by 7 and 11, the other factor for China.
4.5.9.10.4When the set totals are added one by one, 26 cumulative totals are odd valued.
A B C A B C 1 111 111 19 3700 36339 4 825 2103 20 3854 40193 6 1291 4461 22 4195 48401 8 1435 7243 24 4451 57143 9 1644 8887 25 4582 61725 10 1694 10581 29 4993 81067 11 1766 12347 30 5250 86317 12 2168 14515 32 5715 97369 13 2486 17001 35 6301 115565 14 2716 19717 37 6895 128919 16 3197 25767 40 7625 151047 17 3350 29117 42 8061 167045 18 3522 32639 45 8347 191783 A: Set position.

Total of column A: 539 = 72 x 11. (There are two factors of 7, and an 11 for China.)
Total of column C: 1447402 = 2 x 112 x 5981. (Discounting the 2, there are still two 11s for China.)
4.5.9.10.5When the set totals are added one by one, 23 cumulative totals are even valued.

Total of column A: 686 = 2 x 73. (Three factors of 7!)
4.5.10As noted in the beginning of 4.5, extracting 49 sets of Κινα still leaves many occurrences of these letters in the passage. Suppose a second pass through the text was made searching for these letters again, but ignoring those that had already been selected in the first pass? How many additional passes might be possible? Nine more passes are possible. Forty-five new occurrences of Κινα are found. Including the first pass there would be a total of 94 (2 x 47. SF: 49 = 7 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7). The total of their positions: 429935 = 5 x 11 x 7817. SF: 7833 = 3 x 7 x 373.
First pass (49): 11 14 39 47 671 673 681 691 1184 1200 1201 1203 1898 1900 1912 1915 89 106 125 141 698 701 721 733 1207 1219 1222 1232 1979 1981 1988 1989 173 176 178 179 783 785 810 819 1238 1240 1254 1261 2009 2011 2019 2022 192 194 218 221 824 830 837 859 1304 1306 1319 1321 2029 2033 2034 2053 253 255 279 280 867 874 875 906 1328 1332 1336 1341 2057 2059 2062 2064 317 320 326 328 922 925 926 927 1412 1416 1439 1448 2077 2086 2091 2093 333 335 337 342 959 963 964 968 1449 1451 1458 1459 2116 2118 2122 2125 350 358 360 367 984 986 1019 1024 1496 1521 1527 1534 2129 2131 2142 2146 406 408 414 416 1040 1042 1056 1057 1570 1572 1574 1585 2171 2174 2197 2198 418 420 423 433 1064 1066 1080 1081 1596 1601 1626 1636 2212 2215 2233 2240 435 437 446 448 1107 1109 1115 1120 1695 1705 1735 1760 534 536 543 555 1134 1136 1153 1159 1773 1788 1794 1796 590 593 648 655 1160 1162 1178 1181 1824 1830 1840 1858 Second pass (22): 120 129 130 165 1431 1435 1444 1450 213 215 281 289 1453 1454 1487 1492 322 330 356 373 1519 1535 1537 1554 447 449 455 457 1627 1629 1632 1640 595 600 731 736 1702 1721 1741 1764 808 822 842 917 1795 1797 1807 1818 998 1004 1023 1041 1857 1859 1868 1872 1043 1051 1061 1063 1901 1905 1954 1964 1076 1078 1087 1089 2092 2094 2096 2100 1119 1133 1226 1239 2124 2126 2128 2133 1333 1342 1347 1355 2145 2147 2153 2154 Third pass (9): 270 276 382 383 1008 1010 1096 1100 1436 1471 1506 1520 598 605 737 751 1147 1149 1234 1272 1635 1637 1664 1669 828 832 848 945 1340 1351 1356 1360 1759 1761 1768 1772 Fourth pass (5): Fifth pass (3): Sixth pass (2): 338 340 391 394 646 656 776 781 654 661 779 784 628 630 744 758 895 909 918 979 1202 1204 1295 1299 845 865 882 973 1180 1182 1284 1297 1045 1090 1101 1104 1164 1173 1280 1288 Seventh pass (1): Eighth pass (1): Ninth pass (1): Tenth pass (1): 686 688 817 833 712 716 858 985 717 719 885 995 732 734 888 1002
4.5.10.1On the seventh pass, only one Κινα is found. This one is unique.
686 688 817 833
4.5.10.1.1Total of the positions: 3024 = 24 x 33 x 7.
4.5.10.1.2First and last positions of this Κινα: 1519 = 72 x 31.
4.5.10.1.3First position: 686 = 2 x 73.
4.5.10.1.4Last position: 833 = 72 x 17.
4.5.10.1.5The second position matches factors from China: 688 = 24 x 43.
4.5.10.1.6The third position also matches a factor from China: 817 = 19 x 43.
4.5.10.1.7The positions that are not first or last: 1505 = 5 x 7 x 43. SF: 55 = 5 x 11. SF: 16 = 24.
4.5.10.1.8The first and third positions yield no feature, but the second and fourth do: 1521 = 32 x 132. SF: 32 = 25.
4.5.10.1.9The first half of the positions: 1374 = 2 x 3 x 229. There is only one factor for China, and it is a weak two. The sum of the factors goes further: 234 = 2 x 32 x 13. SF: 21 = 3 x 7. SF: 10 = 2 x 5. SF: 7.
4.5.10.1.10The last half of the positions: 1650 = 2 x 3 x 52 x 11. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
4.5.10.1.11These four positions are the positions of these letters within the passage. They can also be referenced by their position within their respective verses.
66 68 86 102
Total of the positions: 322 = 2 x 7 x 23. SF: 32 = 25. (Four of China's factors.)
4.5.10.1.12.1 Providentially, the letters of this Κινα spans 148 letter positions (from 686 to 833). The total of these positions: 112406 = 2 x 72 x 31 x 37. SF: 84 = 22 x 3 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
4.5.10.1.12.2 The total of these 148 letters: 11235 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 107. SF: 122 = 2 x 61. SF: 63 = 32 x 7. SF: 13.
4.5.10.1.12.3 These 148 letters are in 31 Greek words, from the 19th word of Isaiah 8:18 to the 20th word of Isaiah 8:19. The words are listed below.
οικω Ισραηλ παρα κυριου σαβαωθ ος κατοικει εν τω ορει Σιων house Israel by Lord Hosts who dwells on the Mount Zion και εαν ειπωσιν προς υμας ζητησατε τους απο της γης And if they to you Seek those from the earth should-say φωνουντας και τους εγγαστριμυθους τους κενολογουντας οι εκ speak out and the ventriloquist the empty words which out loud familiar spirit της κοιλιας the belly
This is the reason why God turned away from Israel. This is why the kingdom of God was given to another nation. Rather than consult God, they turned to those who spoke loudly from the earth
(the dead, or just brash talkers?), strange experts (or familiar spirits) and vain words based only on the physical world.
The total of these thirty-one words: 11394 = 2 x 33 x 211. There doesn't seem to be any numeric feature here except for a single 2, which is extremely weak. However, if the factors are added, something else appears: 222 = 2 x 3 x 37. More 2s appear, though 222 only has 1 factor of 2. The third level of factors improves the situation: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7. Now there is a 7 along with the 2. The fourth level of factors yields two 2s: 12 = 22 x 3. And at the fifth and final level, the sum of the factors is 7. Basically there were four levels of factors where 2 appeared each time. This matches the four factors of two in China's 3344, a 1 in 16 chance.
4.5.10.1.12.4 This Κινα divides the passage into three parts. There is the section before Κινα , the Κινα section itself, and the section after. Since the Κινα section itself is divisible by 7, this means removing it from the passage would still leave a total divisible by 7: 141372 = 22 x 33 x 7 x 11 x 17. There are three of the six factors for China even when the Κινα section is removed. The sum of the factors is 48 with four of China's six factors, with the final level of factors ending once again with a factor for China (24 x 3; SF: 11). It is as if removing the Κινα (China) section from the text only strengthens the case for China.
4.5.10.1.13Amazingly, the 685 letters before this Κινα total 45528. (23 x 3 x 7 x 271. SF: 287 = 7 x 41. SF: 48 = 24 x 3. SF: 11.) [See the Hebrew version of this feature.]
4.5.10.1.14This means the 1409 letters after this Κινα total 95844 (22 x 3 x 72 x 163)! [See the Hebrew version of this feature.]
(N.B. This is not some freak chance. A similar feature appears in Isaiah 18, and in Isaiah 18-23.) There is even one for America (feature 1.28).
How is it possible that the original Hebrew and the Septuagint would have these exact same features based on their respective spellings of China? This cannot be coincidence. Only God, or an angel could have done this.7
4.5.10.1.15Since the sections before and after this Κινα are both divisible by 7, then comparing what was before and what was after, or taking the difference would also be divisible by 7: 95844 − 45528 = 50316 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 599. There is nothing new with the numbers other than the appearance of two factors of 2, which could point to China, but this is only a 1 in 4 chance and very common.
The curious coincidence is that the 599th Big5 character is 扭 ([niu3] to turn; to twist; to wring; to sprain). Since God is hiding
His face from Israel, and since Jesus said the kingdom of God would be taken away, this would seem to fit what happens before and after the Κινα section. God turns away (扭).
The sum of the factors of 50316 is a prime number 613. The coincidence is seen again in that the 613th character of Big5 is 改 ([gai3] to change; to alter; to transform; to correct).
This Κινα is perfectly positioned in the passage. One could almost believe there was some sort of refining process in passing over the text seven times, eliminating 90 sets of Κινα letters until this specific 91st (7 x 13) instance of Κινα was reached. (Note that 90 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5. SF: 13.)
4.5.10.2Since the first search was a perfect 49, it could stand on its own. The positions of the letters in these 49 sets total 226452 (22 x 3 x 113 x 167). Two factors of two isn't really much of a feature. The real feature is in the sum of the factors: 287 = 7 x 41. The sum of these second level factors is 48 (24 x 3). Four factors of 2 match four factors from China's total of 3344. This is a 1 in 16 chance.
4.5.10.3The positions of the letters in the 45 sets total 203483 (7 x 41 x 709). For the perfect set of 49, one had to look at the sum of the factors. Here, for the additional sets the factor of 7 appears immediately.
It would seem the Greek letters for Κινα (China) are an integral part of the text, placed in specific positions to generate many numeric features. How is this possible with a text that is inferior to the original Hebrew? This is a different type of inspiration.
Conclusion
Features 2.13 and 3.7 directly link Isaiah's prophecy and China. More than twenty-eight features in section 4.5 show how the Greek spelling of China (Κινα) is built into the text of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint. Numerous other numeric features flesh out the rest of the relationship. In meaning, current day China fits this prophecy's description. In numbers, China fits this prophecy with mathematical precision.
And now Isaiah's inspired genius becomes clear when chapter 18, and the prophecy on Tyre (Isaiah 23:17-18) are added to the picture with Isaiah 8:11-9:8. To Make Heavy The Way Of The Sea
is about people in darkness seeing a great light. Everything begins with the true religion. Once the foundation is laid, the events in chapter 18 can more easily unfold. A people very distant from Palestine come to honour God with gifts. The result is a political act of allegiance. When religion guides politics, the final step is natural. New Tyre sets aside her earnings for God (Isaiah 23:17-18). Economics is subordinated to politics, and politics is subservient to religion.
Notes
- The phrase,
For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still
occurs fives times in Isaiah (Isaiah 5:25, 9:12, 9:17, 9:21, 10:4). Why five times? Perhaps because there is God and the four living creatures around His throne (Revelation 4:7). Each has a part in judgment. The numbers for this phrase show God’s sovereignty. The total is 1066. (2 x 13 x 41. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.) - English reference quotes are from the Revised Standard Version, Thomas Nelson Inc., 1972.
- 5. English definitions of Hebrew words are from Bibleworks 3.2.009 by Michael S. Bushell, 1995.
- The beginning and end letters from the first section of letters (1 to 580) are 20 and 70 and do not add up to anything like the beginning and end letters from the second section. The passage is not about God. Some inconsistencies would be normal. Besides, the first section already had several amazing features.
- The Chinese New Version of the Bible has a different translation of Matthew 21:43. Replacement of

SF: 8318 = 2 x 4159. SF: 4161 = 3 x 19 x 73. SF: 95 = 5 x 19. Odd positioned characters: 34400 = 25 x 52 x 43. SF: 63 = 32 x 7. SF: 13. Even positioned characters: 23777 = 13 x 31 x 59. Odd valued characters: 38663 = 23 x 412. SF: 105 = 3 x 5 x 7. Even valued characters: 19514 = 2 x 11 x 887. SF: 900 = 22 x 32 x 52. SF: 20 = 22 x 5. - The seventh instance of סין (Syna in Hebrew) spanned 53 letters (feature 3.8.5.6.2.5). The 91st instance of Κινα (China in Greek) spanned 148 letters (feature 4.5.10.1.12.2). If these two are put together, the total number of letters covered is 201 (3 x 67). This does not seem to be a feature until the factors are added: 70 = 2 x 5 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7. Now the totals of letters covered by these two versions of China are put together: 3363 + 11235 = 14598 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 811. Once again there doesn't seem to be anything until the factors are added: 819 = 3 x 3 x 7 x 13. SF 26 = 2 x 13. Positions and letter values run parallel with each other in Hebrew and Greek.
- One can easily write a sentence in Chinese showing the kingdom of God has already been transferred to China:
上 帝 的 國 已 經 賜 給 中 國 24 1939 1659 3243 56 5160 6568 4474 101 3243 God's kingdom already given-to China
Total: 26467 = 7 x 19 x 199. SF: 225 = 32 x 52. SF: 16 = 24.
Odd valued characters: 10185 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 97. SF: 112 = 24 x 7.
Even valued characters: 16282 = 2 x 7 x 1163.
Difference between odd and even valued characters: 6097 = 7 x 13 x 67.
