NUMBERS IN SCRIPTURE

According to Ray Knight:

-"Dr. E. W. Bullinger was a direct descendant of the Bullinger of the Swiss Reformation. He lived from 1837-1913 and was a mighty spiritual man as well deep into the Word of God. He discovered numerical patterns in scripture and creation which led him to believe that His God had purposely placed it there for a reason. His insight to creation and the numerical patterns in God’s Word are especially precious."

-"Dr. Ivan Panin, a converted Russian Nihilist, later a Harvard Scholar, professor, and mathematician … he once tutored Albert Einstein … learned Greek and Hebrew in four years. He then added Aramaic to his skills. He, quite separately from Bullinger, discovered the mathematical construction of scripture as seen in the two languages used … Hebrew and Greek."

-"These two men of God spent many years recording their works and we have access to their findings today and are sincerely blessed by the insight that they have shown us. The “seal of sevens” on all scripture of our Bible was mind boggling … Panin and his assistant WERE CONVERTED THROUGH THEIR DISCOVERY! Panin died in 1942 after spending the remainder of his life in the Word unveiling its mighty treasures." ( The above information is from: Bible Numbers Are Mighty, Ray Knight )
