The Gospel of John and the Ephraim Ratio

By Forrest Snavely

This is a book about the numbers in the gospel of John. The pairs of twos show Jesus' life will become more complicated. I try to show that the gospel story follows the ratio of the Tribe of Ephraim population loss between census 1 and census 2 in the book of Numbers but alas the gospel of John doesn't quite fit the ratio of Ephraim population loss but it is close. I offer an explanation for the days before Passover when Jesus was anointed which took place 6 days before Passover in John but 2 days before Passover in Matthew's and Mark's gospels. I show a mathematical relationship between the 153 fish of John and the First Born Sons of Israel who lost out on 1500 shekels because the Levite census is rounded to the nearest thousand in Numbers 3 using the Protestant Bible as the reference and the 6 days before Passover when Jesus was anointed in John.

The hidden bible math came to me after I had a confrontation with a bible teacher that was staunchly amillennial. He believed the book of Revelation was for the encouragement of the believers in the first century A.D. but not prophecy for the end of the age before Jesus returns. I believe part Divine Inspiration and effort on my part (some of my math errors pointed me to more hidden math). Having written the books a few years ago has given me perspective on what's important. There are 2 views of the Godhead in the New Testament. One is Paul's who believes that Jesus is the firstborn (chosen) Son. The other is John's who believes that God cannot be tempted and Jesus is the Word who is God and is with God. Recently I read a book titled "Ivan Panin's Numerics in Scripture." Ivan worked out the numbers to make a correct translation of the Bible. My paraphrase of his translation of John 3:16 is Jesus was with the God and is God. "the God is the proper translation and shows up through out the New Testament. Either Paul or John is right but both views of the Godhead lead to salvation. The Trinitarians have decided that no one can be saved unless they believe in the Trinity. The apostles didn't explain the divine and human natures of Jesus an exception is Paul in Romans 1:3-4 and John 1:1 wrote that Jesus was God from the beginning (the beginning of creation week). Paul and John needed to show a united front. John wrote after the other apostles had passed on. First John 2 and 3 explains John's views. My paraphrase is "There is Father and Son. The Son had a human body. If you don't believe this then you are antichrist. The begotten of God (King James Bible) did not sin."Newer translations translate 'begotten' to apply to the rebirth of the believer (those born from above).

The 153 Fish in the Gospel of John

By Forrest Snavely

Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana on the third day in John 2:1.

That means that the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove on day zero in John 1:32.

The Jewish leaders asked John the Baptizer if he was the Messiah on day previous to the day zero which makes that day -1 in John 1:19.

John announces the Lamb of God causing 2 of his disciples to follow Jesus starting around the 10th hour of the day 1 in John 1:36-37. There are 12 hours in a day (John 11:9). Their day starts at our 6 am. It ends at our 6 pm. One of the disciples is Andrew who tells his brother Peter.

Jesus choses Philip who tells Nathaniel that they have found the Messiah on day 2 in John 1:43. Jesus sees Nathaniel under a fig tree by remote viewing before Philip finds Nathaniel. John’s gospel doesn’t count this as a miracle. The first two miracles that Jesus does for others are numbered by John. Jesus dismissed his spirit on the cross. This is not a miracle that is done for
