None of them. Trying to find hidden meaning in a Bible that has been translated from Hebrew, to Greek to Hebrew to English is flawed from the beginning. Let’s not forget, in the 8th century when the Jews retranslated the Septuagint back into Hebrew, they changed many things to fit their anti-Christian stance that developed during their time in Babylon. Numerology in the KJV is flawed from the start. It needs a fixed original text and an alphabet whose letters carry agreed numeric values. You’ve got neither. For the Old Testament, gematria works with Hebrew letters, not English. The KJV is English, and our alphabet doesn’t have numerical values. Any “pattern” found in English is random noise caused by translation. The KJV follows the Masoretic Text, standardized centuries after Christ with added vowels and editorial notes. The early Church used the Greek Septuagint, which in many cases differs from the Masoretic. If your supposed “code” changes depending on which text you use, it’s not divine; it’s a human patchwork. The Masoretes added vowels, accents, and marginal readings that change how words are written and counted. The chapter and verse numbers people use for patterns were added in the medieval and early modern period—hundreds of years after the texts were written. On top of that, the KJV translators routinely supplied extra words and shifted phrases for English readability, killing any claim that the exact wording or letter counts were inspired for numerology. The New Testament has the same problem. The KJV relies on the Textus Receptus, a late medieval compilation of Greek manuscripts that differ in many places from earlier sources. The earliest Greek manuscripts had no spaces, punctuation, or verse numbers; all those were later editorial additions. Even between the 1611 KJV and later revisions, wording changes exist. Which edition are you basing your math on? Any shift in spelling or word order breaks the supposed pattern instantly. And even if you somehow nailed down one text, English letters don’t have numeric values like Hebrew or Greek do. The whole enterprise collapses as soon as you move away from the original language. The bigger issue is this: Scripture was never meant to be a self-contained codebook. St. Paul told Timothy to hold fast to the traditions passed on “whether by word or by letter.” St. Peter admitted that some of Paul’s writings are “hard to understand.” If one Apostle found another confusing, the answer wasn’t numerology or private revelation—it was the Church’s living interpretation. If “Bible alone” and “the Holy Spirit tells me what it means” really worked, there wouldn’t be over 30,000 Protestant denominations all contradicting each other while claiming that same Spirit. Numerology in the KJV isn’t divine insight. It’s pattern-hunting on a translated, edited, and evolving text. If you want the real meaning—the one preserved by those who wrote, copied, and prayed these words since day one—go to the Orthodox Church. The Scriptures belong to the Church that gave them to the world, not to codebreakers trying to turn them into a math puzzle. Fun fact, you can do the Bible code on Moby Dick. It’s been proven.
