After the Reformation, the grammatico-historical interpretation was preferred over other approaches. This article questions whether interpreting the Bible only by the grammatico-historical approach, to discern the meaning of original human authors, is sufficient for hermeneutics.

that the DNA molecule consists of four chemical bases abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, and that each has a particular shape:6

As a first approximation, one can therefore think of DNA as instruc- tional script, a software program, sitting in the nucleus of the cell. Its coding language has only four letters (or two bits, in computer terms) in its alphabet. A particular instruction, known as a gene, is made up of hundreds or thousands of letters of code. All of the elaborate functions of the cell, even in as complex an organism as ourselves, have to be directed by the order of letters in this script. Due to the unique molecular shapes of the bases, A can only fit tightly with T, and C only with G in the double helix of DNA, thereby enabling reproduction with the availability of a master copy or template. Collins explains that genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA to ribosome for translation into a chain of amino acids called protein, and that there are 64 (note the alphanumerical-equivalent for sophia as mentioned above) 3-letter combinations (codons) of the four bases, but only 20 amino acids because of built-in redundancy. This “genetic code” is universal in all known organisms. “No tower of Babel was to be allowed in the language of life”. 6 Vladimir I. shCherbak of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University reports in Biosystems that 37 is the common factor in the arithmetic inside the universal code. 7 In other words, this is a signal from an intelligent source rather than from random natural evolutionary processes (the null hypothesis) because the statistical p-value < 10-13 or the probability of less than 1 chance in 10 trillion. 8 For instance, amino acids translated from codons beginning with A and G are grouped under the purines heading, and those from codons beginning with U (RNA’s demethylated version of T) and C are grouped under the pyrimidines heading in Table 1. Table 1. The numbers of nucleons are listed for the side-chain (R) and backbone (B) of the amino acids. Codon is a 3-letter combination of the four bases in RNA. The 20 amino acids are encrypted by 64 codons with built-in redundancy. The nucleon sums are all divisible by 37.

New Testament Greek from the nucleon sums: Here are the decrypted words in New Testament Greek from the nucleon sums:629 = 17 x 37 “loved by God or loves God” Θεόφιλε (Theophile from Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1) 629 = 17 x 37 “loved by God or loves God” Θεόφιλε (Theophile from Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1) ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Iēsous 888888 = = 24 24 xx 3737 “Jesus” (Iēsous)) 814 = 22 x 37 “Holy” as in the Holy Spirit ἁγίῳ (agiō) For the purines: 629 + 888 = 1517 ἀποκαλύψεις (apokalypseis) from 2 Cor 814 = 22 x 37 “Holy” as in the Holy Spirit ἁγίῳ (agiō) 12:1, which means unveiling hidden secrets or revelations. For the pyrimidines: 814 + 814 = 1628, two highly relevant words for this generation of Christians: προσευχομένηFor the (proseuchomenē) purines: 629 + 888from = 1 1517Cor 11:5, ἀποκαλύψεις which means(apokalypseis keep praying:) from 2 Cor 12:1, which

4 5 means unveilingEvery manhidden who prays secrets or prophesies or revelations. …., butFor every the pyrimidines: wife who prays 814 + 814 = 1628, two or prophesies …,

and προφητευομεν (prophēteuomen) from 1 Cor 13:9, which means we prophesy:

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. The word “holy” (814) appears twice, which means husband and wife are equal in Christ (Gal 3:28), and are created in the image of God, imago Dei (Gen 1:27). Each spouse is to keep the marriage bed undefiled (Heb 13:4), and is devoted to prayer (1 Cor 6:12–7:12). Like a master painter, the triune God signed his masterpiece “the creation of life” using the amino acids. However, the nucleon sums (629 + 888 + 814) is only 63 × 37. Thus an additional 37 is required to complete the name of Jesus Christ (64 × 37). Acts 4:12 (ESV) says that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved”. The rhēma (ῥῆμά) of Christ must thus be the hidden 37, the gematria value for rhēma based on positions of the Greek alphabets, and the word “saves” all of those that missed the mark (Rom 10:8–10, 14–15 ESV):

8 … “The word (rhēma) is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word (rhēma) of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Even when the total nucleons of purines and pyrimidines (1517 + 1628) in Table 1 are added together to equal 85 × 37, this brings us back to Gen 1:1, where it all began. The 3rd word among the 7 words (note the 3 and 7 again) in the Hebrew text of Gen 1:1 is God, Elohim, of which the standard gematria value is 86. The needed 37 to complete 86 × 37 is the power and the wisdom of God, Christ Jesus (1 Cor 1:23–24) and Wisdom (Prov 9:3–6, ESV):

3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, 4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says, 5“Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.” A final question: Why did the Apostle John use the word logos (λόγος) instead of sophia or rhēma in John 1:1? One possibility is that logos is a mas- culine grammatical term to match the incarnate male Jesus; whereas, sophia and rhēma are feminine and neutral, respectively. John instead wrote logos, of which the numerical-equivalent 373 is the concatenate of 37 and 73 of hokmah, so that the natural exponential e is encoded into John 1:1. It is unlikely that John was aware that he encrypted the value of e (2 Pet 1:20–21, ESV):

20knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible declares its divine inspiration (2 Tim 3:16–17, ESV):

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. A definite article is not used with pasa graphē in 2 Tim 3:16, and it is this writer’s interpretation that the Apostle Paul intended to mean that every word is divinely inspired to make us “wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15). Thus, the Bible is useful for all aspects of spirituality, morality, and wisdom.
