76 Generations of Jesus

The following information reveals unknown correspondence between the arrangement of verse divisions within the KJV bible, the form and design of the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle and the counting of the generations of man between God the father and his son Jesus Christ.

These examples are intended to suggest a small part of a perfect design hidden within "all" God's creation to the testimony of Jesus Christ as our saviour, where the following is an imperfect attempt to reveal this design.

The arrangement of the verses define the form and measures of the Holy of Holies

The arrangement of verses from Luke 3:23 to 3:38, where the generations of Jesus are listed in the King James bible, gives 3 names in verse 23, then 5 names per verse from 24 to 37 and 3 names in verse 38, this is 76 men born from Adam to and including Jesus, which is 75 men born between God and Jesus Christ. This gives a total of 77 persons including God and his son as the first and last.

The grouping of names in verses 24 through 37 defines 70 names, 14 x 5 = 70. If this is multiplied by the 3 names of verse 23 and then by the 3 names of verse 38, as 70 x 3 x 3 = 630, this defines the volume of a 28 board measure perimeter of the Holy of Holies in cubic cubits. According to the square board theory, each board of the Tabernacle was 1.5 x 1.5 x 10 = 22.5 cubic cubits in volume and there were 22 boards surrounding the Holy of Holies with a 6 board measure entrance area, for a total perimeter of 28 board measures, so 28 x 22.5 = 630 cubic cubits. If these same values are compared, as 3 + 3 x 70 = 420, this is = to the measure of the 28 board measure perimeter x the height of the boards, according to 28 board measures x 1.5 cubits per board x 10 = 420. The grouping of the names above also define the number of boards measured in the perimeter, there are 2 verses having 3 names each and 14 verses having 5 names each, if these values are compared, as 2 x 14 = 28, this is the total number of board measures of the perimeter. Similarly, 3 x 5 = 15, this is the square surface area of 1 board face, according to 1.5 cu. width x 10 cu. height, as 1.5 x 10 = 15. So defined in the grouping of the generations from God to Jesus Christ, as described in the gospel of Luke from the KJV, is the form of the 28 board measure perimeter of the Holy of Holies, according to the measure of this 28 board perimeter x its' height and the volume of this 4 sided perimeter, ( see illustration, "28 Board Measure Perimeter" ).

If the 630 cubic cubit volume of this perimeter is divided by the number of men born between God and his son and then multiplied by the height of the Tabernacle it defines the number of times the title "Lord Jesus Christ" is written in 22 books of the KJV new testament, as 630 / 75 = 8.4 x 10 = 84. What is most interesting about this is the fact that the complete form of the 28 board measure perimeter of the Holy of Holies is actually defined by 22 boards. These 22 boards determine the location and volume of the entrance area, or "door", which completes the 4 sided, 28 board measure perimeter as mentioned above, Jesus Christ "is" the door.

Added support for this perspective comes from the fact that the inner + outer measure of the 28 board perimeter actually does define the number of times the title "Lord Jesus Christ" is used in the 22 new testament books of the KJV. The inner measure is = to 24 board measures of 1.5 cubits, as 24 x 1.5 = 36 cubits, the outer measure is = to 32 x 1.5 cubits, as 32 x 1.5 = 48 cubits, then 36 + 48 = 84.

Conclusion: the number and grouping of names listed as the generations between God and Jesus, as listed in the KJV bible, define the 28 board measure perimeter of the Holy of Holies, which has an inner and outer measure in cubits = to the number of times the title "Lord Jesus Christ" is written in 22 books of the KJV new testament. This in turn relates to 22 of the 28 boards which set the form of and locate the entrance to the Holy of Holies, ( see, "4 Sided Perimeters 84" from illustration, "Holy of Holies, 36, 48" ). This perspective is also mentioned in a similar context later, which further validates the example.

If the verse numbers 24 to 37, where the 70 names are listed, are multiplied, as 24 x 37 = 888, this is "Jesus" in Greek. Then 888 x the first 3 names of verse 23, as 888 x 3 = 2664, this is "ark" of the covenant, then 2664 x the last 3 names of verse 38, as 2664 x 3 = 7992, this is the area of ground of the nation of Israel in square miles. ( see "Israel", Webster's New World Dictionary, third college edition )

If the first verse number is multiplied by the last verse number, as 23 x 38 = 874, then if the value for the word "covenant", 558, is subtracted as 874 - 558 = 316. As a scripture reference, John 3 : 16 agrees with this example since it describes our covenant, which is God's promise of eternal life through faith in his son Jesus Christ,

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God gave his son Jesus after the passing of the generations, which are recorded between verses 23 and 38 of Luke chapter 3, were fulfilled.

The arrangement of the verse divisions define a first and last verse of 3 names each with 14 verses of 5 names each between them. Notice that the difference between 888, from 23 x 38 the first and last verses and 874, from 24 x 37 to represent the 14 verses in between, as 888 - 874 = 14, this is = to the 14 verses between the first and last verses where "Jesus" is defined as 888.

Another very unusual perspective regarding the KJV verse arrangement defines the 22 boards of the Holy of Holies, the distance from the entrance of the sanctuary to the entrance of the Holy of Holies and the ark of covenant. The example is as follows, the first and last verses name 3 persons each, viewed as 33, this is the measure in cubits of the 22 surrounding boards of the Holy of Holies, mentioned above, as 22 x 1.5 = 33 cubits. There are 14 verses in between the first and last verses, there are 14 board measures from the entrance of the sanctuary to the entrance of the Holy of Holies. There are 70 persons named in the 14 verses, 70 is equal to the sum of the number of board measures of the 4 sided perimeter + the measure of this perimeter in cubits, according to 28 board measures + 1.5 x 28, as 28 + ( 28 x 1.5 ) = 70. This value corresponds through a Gematria value to a Hebrew word for "boy child", Jesus was born a boy child after the fulfillment of the generations.

Interestingly, the sum of the 33, 14 and 70 values also corresponds to a Gematria value of another Hebrew word for "boy child", as 33 + 14 + 70 = 117. This 117 value is in turn equal to the outer surface area of the ark x its number of sides, as ( 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 ) + ( 1.5 x 2.5 x 4 ) x 6 = 117.

The fact that these values are derived from the verse numbers where the generations from God to the birth of Jesus Christ are described, which in part defines a Gematrtia value that corresponds to "boy child" along with their correspondence to the form and measures of the Tabernacle and the ark of covenant itself, is an example of our covenant through God's son Jesus Christ, represented here in the measures of the ark of covenant itself.

Altogether this perspective defines the 14 board measures from the entrance of the Tabernacle to the entrance of the Holy of Holies, the 33 cubit measure of the 22 surrounding boards, the 42 cubit measure of the 4 sided, 28 board measure perimeter of the Holy of Holies and the 117 form value from the ark of the covenant, based on its surface area x its' number of sides.

The ark was placed at the center of the Holy of Holies. Notice that the 117 form value defined above for the ark, actually defines the center chapter number of the KJV bible, which is Psalm 117. ( see "Bible as 594 and 594" ).

An interesting note from the comparison of the same set of verses from the American Bible Society's "Good News" bible. In Luke 3, verses 23, 24 through 37, and 38, where the KJV lists 3,70 and 3 men's names as the generations of Jesus, the ABS lists 2,71 and 3 names. The value defined by the verse numbers 24 and 37 is the same as the KJV, as 24 x 37 = 888, Jesus in both bibles, but if 888 is multiplied by the number of names in the first and last verses, as with the KJV example above, there is an interesting difference.

The values from the KJV arrangement are, 888 x 3 = 2664, this is "ark" of covenant, then 888 x 3 x 3 = 7992, this is the square area of the nation of Israel in square miles. Compare the KJV values with the following ABS values, 888 x 2 = 1776, the difference between the KJV and ABS value, as 2664 - 1776 = 888, the value for "Jesus" is missing from the ABS value. Then 888 x 2 x 3 = 5328, the difference at this point between the KJV and ABS is 7992 - 5328 = 2664, the value for "ark" of covenant is missing. Altogether the value of "Jesus" and "ark" are missing from the verse / text arrangement in the ABS as compared to the KJV.

Jesus is the word and the ark is where the word is kept, it is interesting that these are the missing values in the ABS version in light of other information regarding the new bible versions, which can be found at www.avpublications.com, see for yourself and be informed.

In the first and last verses of the record of the generations of Jesus in the KJV, the names of 3 men are listed. The 14 verses between the first and last verse list 5 names each. The 3 and 5 persons mentioned compare to the arrangement of the boards of the Tabernacle which defined 3 walls but 5 distinct surfaces, 1 surface on either side of the entrance facing the East, 1 surface facing North, 1 surface facing South and 1 surface facing West, this corresponds to the 3 and 5 names listed in the verses of the generations. Also notice that 3 x 5 = 15, the surface area of any 1 side of the boards = 15 sq.cu. With the idea of these surfaces in mind, the 1, 14 and 1 verses of the listing of the generations define the location of the entrance area of the Holy of Holies from the entrance of the Tabernacle, from either of the surfaces facing East, representing 1 and 1 board measures, to the entrance of the Holy of Holies is 14 board measures, ( see "3 walls and 5 surfaces" from illustration, "Tabernacle, 98 Board Faces" ).

In the first and last verses of the record of the generations in the KJV, the names of 3 men are listed. If any 3 consecutive numbers are added, their sum is 9 greater or 9 less than the sum of the 3 numbers before or after them, respectively.

Example: 4 + 5 + 6 = 15 and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, the value of 6 is 9 less than15 and 7 + 8 + 9 = 24, the value of 24 is 9 greater than 15. There is a difference of 9 between the sum of any 2 consecutive sets of 3 consecutive numbers added.

The verses between the first and last verse list 5 names each, if any 5 consecutive numbers are added, their sum is 25 greater or less than the sum of the 5 numbers before or after them, respectively.

Example: 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 40, then 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 and 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 65, There is a difference of 25 between the sums of any consecutive set of 5 consecutive numbers.

The comparison of these values defines the total number of exposed board faces of the Tabernacle according to, 3 x 9 = 27 and 5 x 25 = 125, then 125 - 27 = 98. There are 52 exposed board faces on the outside of the Tabernacle and 46 on the inside, 52 + 46 = 98, ( see illustration, "Tabernacle, 98 Board Faces" ). Only square shaped boards in the arrangement described in Exodus 26 is able to conform to such an example, no other form or arrangement of the 48 boards could define this perspective.

The values of 3, 25 and 9, derived from the verse divisions as described above, also correspond to both the generations of Jesus and the Holy of Holies of the tabernacle in another way, according to the following comparison.

The 75 generations between God and Jesus can be divided into 25 groups of 3 numbers, which separates Jesus from the rest of the generations. The width of each of the 3 walls of the outer perimeter of the Holy of Holies can be defined by 25 equidistant points, this defines a separate measure for the Holy of Holies from the rest of the tabernacle, ( see "3 Walls of 25 Points" from illustration, "Holy of Holies, 3 of 25" ). An example of counting the generations by 3 can be seen in the text of the KJV with the use of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which is referred to many times through out the bible.

There is a difference of 9 between each of the 25 groups of 3 numbers in the generations as described above. This is = to the distance between each of the 25 points defined in the width of the 3 walls of the Holy of Holies of 9 units.

The 25 groups of 3 numbers define 24 measures of 9, this is according the difference between the added values of each successive group of 3 numbers through out the 25 groups. The 25 points located on each of the 3 walls of the Holy of Holies outer perimeter define 24 measures of 9 units as the difference between each successive point through out the 25 points.

If these 24 measures of 9 are added, as to define the total measures of 9 through out the 25, 3 number groups of the generations, as 9+ 9 = 18 + 9 = 27 + 9 = 36... is equation A, the total of equation A = 216. This is a measure from Adam to Jesus based on the count of the generations, as shown above and defines the word "light". This agrees with the fact that Jesus is the "light" of the world, John 8 : 12,

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

The value 216 is also the outer measure of the Holy of Holies in units. This agrees with the fact that the appearance of fire set on the tabernacle at night,

Numbers 9 : 15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. ( see "25 Points, 24 Measures of 9" from illustration, "Holy of Holies, 3 of 25" ).

Then if the sum of each addition of 9 added, as 9 + 18 + 27 + 36... is equation B, the total of equation B = 2700, this is the total inner volume of the Tabernacle in cubic cubits, 9 x 30 x 10 = 2700.

The values 2700 and 216 divided by the original value of 9, as 2700 / 9 = 300 and 216 / 9 = 24. The total of 300 + 24 = 324, this is = to the inner width and length of the Holy of Holies in units, as 162 + 162 = 324 units.

The difference between 2700 and 216, as 2700 - 216 = 2484, this is = to 1170 + 1314, "son of God" + the location of the entrance area of the Holy of Holies as joints 13 and 14, as 1314. As the son of God Jesus is the entrance of the Holy of Holies in Heaven, he is the "door". The value 1170 is also = to the 594 unit measure + the 495 cubic cubit volume of the 22 surrounding boards of the Holy of Holies + the 81 square cubit area of ground they encompass, as 594 + 495 + 81 = 1170, so that the very form and measures of the Holy of Holies define the words "son of God". The value 1314 locates the position of the entrance area of the Holy of Holies. There is more regarding joints 13 and 14 as the whole number 1314 and the entrance area in the next example.

The 22 boards of the 3 sided measure of the Holy of Holies, mentioned above, actually define 3 inner and 3 outer walls. The position of the first 2 of the 22 boards in the North and South walls define the location of side 4 of the inner and outer perimeters as the entrance to the Holy of Holies. In 22 of the 27 books of the KJV new testament, from the example above, there are 84 references to the title "Lord Jesus Christ". If these 22 books are compared to the 22 boards of the Holy of Holies, then the 84 references of the title "Lord Jesus Christ" in these 22 books literally define the 4 sided inner and 4 sided outer perimeter measures of the 22 boards, according to the following example below.

The 4 sided inner perimeter is = to 24 board measures of 1.5 cubits, as 24 x 1.5 = 36 cubits. The 4 sided outer perimeter is = to 32 board measures of 1.5 cubits, as 32 x 1.5 = 48 cubits, then 36 + 48 = 84. ( see "4 Sided Perimeters 84" from illustration, "Holy of Holies, 36, 48" ). If 84 is divided by the 3 walls of the 22 boards, as 84 / 3 = 28, this is the number of board measures required to define the full, 4 sided perimeter measure of the Holy of Holies, according to the 22 board measures of the 3 walls + 6 board measures of the entrance area, which is located by the position of the first 2 of the 22 boards.

Also consider that 22 and 27 from the 22 books where the 84 references are found and 27 from the total books of the KJV new testament actually define a center line measure of the 22 boards, according to 22 books x 27 books, as 22 x 27 = 594, this is the actual measure of the 22 board perimeter of the Holy of Holies in units, each board is 1.5 cu. x 18 units per cu., as 1.5 x 18 = 27, then x 22 boards, as 27 x 22 = 594 units.

The location of the entrance of the Holy of Holies is defined by the position of the first 2 of the 22 boards as described above, this happens to be board 14 in the North and South walls from the entrance of the Tabernacle. Board 14 is between joints 13 and 14 of the 2 walls, which is being viewed as the whole number 1314 x 2 walls, as 1314 x 2 = 2628. The values of 14 and 2628 align perfectly with the generations of Jesus based on God's promise of a child and the messiah and the building of his house by Solomon, according to the following perspective.

The promise given to Abraham regarding a son was fulfilled with the birth of Isaac, likewise the promise given of a messiah was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus. If 26 generations are counted forward from the first generation after Isaac, ( who was the fulfilling of the promise of a son ), then 28 generations are counted backward from the first generation before Jesus, ( who was the fulfilling of the promise of a messiah ), the counting of the 2 values of 26 and 28 converge at generation 14 after David, who's son God said should build him a house. Notice how this corresponds to the form of the Tabernacle and the position of the entrance of the Holy of Holies by the following comparison.

1. The location of the entrance of the Holy of Holies is between joints 13 and 14 of the North and South walls of the Tabernacle, viewed as 1314 per wall x 2 walls = 2628 total. This corresponds to the 2 counted values of the 26 and 28 generations, viewed as 2628 total / 2 counted values = 1314 per counting, which is being viewed as a representation of joints 13 and 14 in the North and South walls.

2. The location of the entrance area of the Holy of Holies between joints 13 and 14 defines the placement of board 14 in the 2 walls. This location of board 14 corresponds to the location of generation 14 after David since it is defined by the 2 countings of 26 and 28 generations, viewed as 2628, as shown above, ( see illustrations, "76 Generations, Entrance" and "Holy of Holies, 76 Generations" ).

This is to say that in the generations of Jesus the entrance of the Holy of Holies is literally defined and was configured in the design of the Tabernacle. The purpose of the work of Jesus was to allow us access into the true Holy of Holies in heaven, as is evidenced by the renting of the veil of the temple at the death of Jesus on the cross, Jesus said he is the "door",

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

The entrance area at board 14 is the door of the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle

Another fact is that the 22 boards of the 3 walls of the Holy of Holies + the 18 board measures of the 3 sided inner perimeter + the 6 board measures of the width of the entrance of the Holy of Holies x 27 units, which is the width of 1 board, as 22 + 18 + 6 = 46 x 27 = 1242, this corresponds to the word "cornerstone", ( see illustration, "76 Generations" ). This is interesting since the volume of the 22 boards + the inner volume of the Holy of Holies, as 495 + 810 = 1305 cubic cubits, this is = to 639 + 666, "Yeshuah Messiah" + "covenant", which truly is the cornerstone of God's Tabernacle. The number 1242 as 12 and 42 also defines the 12 generations from Jacob to David and the 42 generations from David to Jesus.

The dividing of the 75 generations shown above, defines the values 3, 25 and 9, according to 3 names per group, 25 groups and a difference in added values of 9 between each group.

As 3 x 25 x 9 = 675, this is = to 117 + 558, "boy child" + "covenant". Jesus was born a boy child and our covenant is through him. Notice that if 117 is added to 675 instead of subtracted, as 675 + 117, "boy child", = 792, this is "Jesus" in Greek. Keep in mind that all the values in this example are derived from the counting of the generations of Jesus according to their arrangement in the KJV bible.

The numbers 117 and 558 also correspond to the Holy of Holies and the bible. The Holy of Holies contained the word of God as our covenant. The KJV bible also contains the word of God as our covenant.

The center of the Holy of Holies is also defined by the number 117 according to the surface area of the ark of covenant x its 6 sides, according to 1.5 x 2.5 x 4 + 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 19.5, then 19.5 x 6 = 117. The actual center of the KJV is defined by the number 117, as Psalm 117.

The Holy of Holies had a measure of 594 units, according to its 22 surrounding boards of 27 units each, as 22 x 27 = 594. The boards measured once at the floor and once at the ceiling, as the limits of its volume, accounts for 2 measures of 594, having the ark of covenant with its value of 117 as the center. The KJV bible also accounts for 2 measures of 594 at the limits of its volume with its center defined by the value 117, according to 594 chapters before and 594 chapters after its center chapter of Psalm 117.

The 2 measures of 594 define the limits of the volumes of the Holy of Holies and the KJV bible with 117 as the definition of their centers, as mentioned above. In each case the volumes being measured contain God's word as our covenant. The birth and purpose of Jesus is the fulfillment of these words, which agrees with Psalm 40 : 7, "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,". Notice that this scripture refers to the volume of the book, the design of the KJV is fashioned after the measures of the Holy of Holies.

The difference between Psalm 117 and Psalm 40 is 117 - 40 = 77, this is the total generations counted from God to Jesus. In Psalm 40 the Lord said he is coming, Psalm 117 says to praise him,

Psalm 40 : 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

Psalm 117 : 1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

So from the time of the telling of the Lords coming, in Psalm 40, to the praising of him, in Psalm 117, defines the number of generations from God to the birth his son Jesus. Notice that this praising was first fulfilled by the multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, to the witness of the shepherds who were abiding in the field, according to Luke 2:8 - 13,

Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

There are 77 persons listed in the generations, God and 75 men and Jesus. This means that there are 76 measures of time defined by their counting. If the generations, from God to Jesus, are added as 1 + 2 + 3 + 4... to 76, = 2926, then this divided by 2, as the beginning and end of the generations as 2926 / 2 = 1463. This compares to the form of the Tabernacle according to the following example.

There are 14 board measures to the entrance of the Holy of Holies, which locates side 4 of the 28 board perimeter, mentioned above. The square area of ground covered by this perimeter = 63 square cubits, 14 and 63, viewed as 1463, this is = to the value determined from the counting of the 77 generations. If 14 is subtracted from 1463 as 1463 - 14 = 1449, this is = to 1350 + 99, "Christ" + "truth". If 63 is then subtracted from 1449, as 1449 - 63 = 1386, this is "Messiah". These values represent the very person born at the end of the 77 generations which were counted. Notice that the values of 14 and 63 themselves = the total generations from God to Jesus, as 14 + 63 = 77, ( see "Added Total 1 Through 76" from illustration, "76 Generations" ). Note, the value of 1449 as 1440 and 9 defines the outer volume and inner width or length of the Holy of Holies, as 12 x 12 x 10 = 1440 cubic cubits and 9 cubits inner width or length.

As a type of confirmation of the above example, where the number 14 from 1463 defined the location of side 4 of the 28 board measure perimeter and 63 defined the square area of ground covered by the perimeter. Then as ( 1463 - 14 ) - 63 = 1386, defined the word "Messiah". If 1386 is divided by 495 cubic cubits, which is the volume of the 22 boards that make up the 3 walls of the 28 board measure perimeter and multiplied by the height of the boards of 10 cubits as 1386 / 495 = 2.8 x 10 = 28, the value defines the total board measures of the 4 sided perimeter.

The total square area of ground covered by the Holy of Holies is an area of 12 x 12 = 144 sq.cu. If the square area of the 28 board measure perimeter of 63 sq.cu. is subtracted, as 144 - 63 = 81 sq.cu., this is the inner square area of the Holy of Holies. If the total and inner square areas are added to the value of "Messiah", as 1386 + 144 + 81 = 1611, this is "Israel" and the date of the printing of the KJV, ( see "Total Square Area" from illustration, "Holy of Holies, 36, 48" ).
