You say my preacher's a wacko? Wow.

"Genesis 1:1 has 10 words in it. Revelation 22:21 has twelve words in in. Remember that.

"Count the number of letters in Genesis 1:1. There are 44. Count the letters in the last verse. There's 44.

"How would you figure the first verse and last verse have the same number of letters? But it gets better.

"Count the number of vowels in Genesis 1:1. There's 17. Count the number of vowels in Revelation 22:21. There's 17.

"If you go to Genesis 1:1 and count the number of consonants there are 27. You know how many there are in the last verse? 27.

"Your Bible starts out with, 'In the beginning God created,' and it ends with, 'the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.'

"It starts out with creation and it ends with grace; God's redemption of His creation. Now, that's only true in a King James Bible.

"What does all that mean? There's something otherworldly even about that translation.

"Now, to understand who God is you need a verse in the Bible that's left out of other translations. I John 5:7. Every Bible except the King James leaves this verse out.

I John 5:7: [7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

"That's the great trinitarian statement. Any time you look at a doctrinal statement and it starts out talking about, 'We believe in one God,' and they'll have a statement about God, look at the verses they list. They almost never list that verse. Because they don't think it should be in the Bible. 

"If you count the letters in that verse, how many are there? There are 88. If you counted the vowels in that verse, how many do you think there are? It wouldn't be 17; it would be 34, which is twice. If you did the consonants it would be 54, which is twice 27.

"The first verse in the Bible has 10 words in it and the last verse has 12 because the God that created and the God that redeems--10 is the number of Gentiles and twelve is the number of Israel. The Gentiles and Israel get light out of that Book. The words of that Book are what provide light to the world.

"Now, I say that and you guys can appreciate that, but if I got on the radio and started teaching that, you know what people would do? Cuckoo, cuckoo.

"If you share the tape of this you know what they're going to go? 'Man, your preacher's a wacko!' And yet you see that and you say, 'Wow.'

"Now, I'm not going to make something out of it that's not; I'm not trying to be superstitious and that kind of stuff. I'm just saying there's things about your Bible, when you believe it . . . 

"Somebody says, 'Well, it's not true in another language.' I'm not speaking another language."
