First And Last
This is a new way of applying Revelation 1:8 to Exodus 34:6b-7. God said He is the Alpha and the Omega. As these Greek letters are at the beginning and end of the Greek alphabet, they point to what is first and last. But first and last does not necessarily have to be restricted only to what is at the beginning and end, but can also mean a word or letter's first and last appearances. In this sense, they can also divide a passage into two complementary but opposing sections: a) what is between them, and b) what is not between them. (What is not between them includes this word/letter.) This applies Revelation 1:8 in two different ways at the same time.
| 317 | 26 | 26 | 31 | 254 | 120 | 221 | 131 | 208 | 72 | 447 |
| 340 | 72 | 191 | 351 | 126 | 456 | 29 | 161 | 31 | 165 | 184 |
| 126 | 409 | 100 | 102 | 106 | 62 | 102 | 100 | 680 | 106 | 322 |
The second and third words are the two occurrences of the Divine Name. There are no other words in the passage with the value 26. As a result, the first occurrence and last occurrence are their first and last appearances. As they stand right next to each other, nothing is between them. The total of what is between their first and last occurrences is zero. Zero is divisible by 7 and 13 (and every other number).
What is not between the two 26s (including themselves) is the entire verse, the total of which is 6174 (2 x 32 x 73, as seen on the previous page).
There is only one other word in the passage that follows this rule: 102. Providentially, it first appears as the 26th word (2 x 13), linking it to the value of God's name in Hebrew. It last occurs as the 29th word.
The words sandwiched between the first and last occurrences of 102 total 168 (23 x 3 x 7).
The words not between the two occurrences of 102: 6006 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 13.
Why are 26 and 102 the only words where this rule applies? Perhaps because 26 + 102 = 128 (27). The total of the two words is not a multiple of 7 or 13, but to the power of seven.
Perhaps this is all some sort of freaky fluke, but it isn't. The same principle applies to the letters.

The principle is applied to the first and last appearances of the letter 6. Between them: 5740 = 22 x 5 x 7 x 41. Not between them: 434 = 2 x 7 x 31.
The next letter where the principle applies is the letter 2. Between them: 4718 = 2 x 7 x 337. Not between them: 1456 = 24 x 7 x 13. SF: 28 = 22 x 7.
The final letter is 300. Between them: 2590 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 37. Not between them: 3584 = 29 x 7.
The principle does not work for any of the other first and last appearances of the other letters. Why these three letters? 6 + 2 + 300 = 308 (2
Now the principle is extended to the second and second last occurrences of a letter. Two letters succeed.
The letter 10. Between them: 5369 = 7 x 13 x 59. Not between them: 805 = 5 x 7 x 23. SF: 35 = 5 x 7.
The letter 200. Between them: 1393 = 7 x 199. Not between them: 4781 = 7 x 683.
Why do these letters succeed? 10 + 200 = 210 (2 x 3 x 5 x 7).
Stretch the principle to the fifth and fifth last occurrences.
The letter 6. Between them: 2758 = 2 x 7 x 197. Not between them: 3416 = 23 x 7 x 61. (The difference: 658 = 2 x 7 x 47. SF: 56 = 23 x 7. SF: 13.)
The letter 1. Between them: 882 = 2 x 32 x 72 Not between them: 5292 = 22 x 33 x 72.
And once again 6 + 1 = 7.
Now one may ask, What about the third and third last appearances of a letter?
Or, What about the fourth and fourth last appearances?
And of course, since the letter 6 appeared sixteen times in the passage it would have been possible to go as far as the eighth and eighth last
appearances. Only one of these other possibilities work with this principle in dividing the passage into what is between and not between.
This time letter 6 stands alone. No other letter falls in this category. It is its third and third last occurrences. Between them: 3724 = 22 x 72 x 19. Not between them: 2450 = 2 x 52 x 72. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
As the letter 6 stands alone in this case, there is no other letter to add to it to produce a multiple of 7. But this case does have its own unique characteristic to make up for the lack
. What is between and what is not between are both multiples of 7 twice in perfect balance. The difference between them is also a multiple of 7 twice. And not only is it divisible by 49, it is also divisible by 13: 1274 = 2 x 72 x 13.
The results are amazingly consistent when this principle is applied to the words and letters. When one remembers there were also numeric features with the first and last letters of each word (together and separately), with every other letter, and with the rest of the Bible, one cannot help but think the text was designed by a super intelligence.
