Spiritual Ride in Bible Math

Come for a spiritual ride into the wonders of numbers in my free book Bible Math. I wrote it and illustrated it all from the warm environment of Southern California, where the climate--so I am told--has much similarity with many of the places where the Bible was written.

What follows is a small sample section of the book, Bible Math, including a few new updates.

Ephesians 1:18-21 Enlighten the Eyes of the Heart
[18] "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, [19] and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, [20] which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, [21] far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."

• This verse is addressed to those who are already Jesus' committed followers. Paul prays that these disciples who already know God will know him on an even deeper level.
• Enlightenment is one of the many benefits of great relationship with God.
• See the power for prayer; it can open up new abilities.
• The first step is to know God and be in a great relationship with him. Then know the depths of the inheritance which God calls his disciples to see. God makes more things clear as the relationship deepens. Therefore a great relationship with God produces an even greater relationship with him.
• In chemistry, the symbol → means "produces" or "yields."
• Great Relationship with God → Greater Relationship with God.
• Enlighten = to give light, shine, render evident, become clear, illumine.
• God = Enlightener.
• To know the depth of the inheritance which God calls his disciples to, God must first open up the eyes of our heart.
• To reach full functionality, we must first see our need for God, have relationship with him, and ask for depth of relationship.
• Disciple of Jesus + Prayer + God = Enlightened Disciple of Jesus.
• Without God, the eyes of our heart stay closed, unenlightened.
• For disciples to know God's incomparable power on a deep level, God must activate them on the inside.
• To know more about our own abilities, we need to know God.
• Know God = Access to God.
• Relationship with God = Access to Human Bonus Features, Activated by God.
• Don't know God = 0 Access to God.
• See your need for relationship with God to give life deeper meaning.
• Increasing relationship with God means increasing meaning.
• The math symbol "^" means "raised to the power of."
• Relationship with God^5 = Meaning^5.
• Our perception of the meaning of life is proportional to (∝) our relationships with God.
• Meaning ∝ Relationship with God.
• God's power is described as much greater than (≫) all other powers.
• Jesus ≫ Death, 100% of Other Rulers, Authorities, Dominions, Titles. This is for 100% of Time.

Exodus 8:16-19 The Plague of Gnats
[16] "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Tell Aaron, "Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground," and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats.' [17] They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats came upon men and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats. [18] But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. And the gnats were on men and animals. [19] The magicians said to Pharaoh, 'This is the finger of God.' But Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the LORD had said."

• For God, reprogramming objects to become alive is simply a matter of speaking it into existence. This event is also mentioned in Psalm 105:31, where the LORD "spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country."
• Dust + God = Life
• Creation is still happening.
• Without God, there is no life.
• 0 God = 0 Life
• Seek God's favor. Those unified with God benefit from his ongoing creations. Those opposed to God are more susceptible to plagues.
• Dust can be defined as bits of the earth or dead skin. Therefore it is possible that God resurrected dead skin (dust) to make the gnats. If the dust used by God was dead skin, then it is a foreshadowing of the resurrection. Death + God = New Life.

2 Corinthians 5:16 How to Think about People
[16] So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

• Worldly point of view refers to the flesh, the physical, the sensuous nature of people.
• Get to know people (regard them) from a spiritual perspective.
• Regard 0 people in worldly (fleshly) way.
• Doing this transforms how we think about humanity.
• Regard 100% of people as spiritual beings who need Christ.
• It takes constant mental discipline to transform how we see people.
• Start seeing 100% of people as spiritual souls who need Jesus.
