The Gospel
The numeric patterns detailed on this site cannot save you from your sins. They simply point us to the God who can: the Author of the Bible. He is the true and living God who created all things, and is above all, longsuffering in mercy, eternal, invisible, immortal, and holy in all His being. He created you and He loves you. That was proven ~2000 years ago when the Word became flesh so that He would be crucified at the cross of Calvary, as a sacrifice for all, when he took all our sins and bare them in his own body, cursed, and hanging on the tree in our place. Many people think their good deeds will be good enough to outweigh their bad on the day of judgment. What a terrifying day that will be, as they enter the presence of the Most Holy, having trusted their own goodness and the work of their own hands instead of those blood-drenched hands that were nailed upon the cross. We have all sinned. We are all guilty. We have all come short. The good news is that Jesus, the Son of God, tasted death in our place. Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Cor 15:3-4 How do you escape damnation? Call upon the Lord in sincerity. Stop trusting your own hands, and take His. 🤝 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Visit truthischrist.com/grace for more information.
God Speaks 7x7x7 Words in Genesis 1

And God said…
Genesis 1:3
Summary
In Genesis 1, God speaks a total of 343 words. We are counting all words actively and personally spoken by God (E.g. “Let there be light“).
Day 1 = 4 words
Day 2 = 20 words
Day 3 = 45 words
Day 4 = 49 words
Day 5 = 44 words
Day 6 = 181 words
Day 7 = 0 words (Genesis 2)
Total words spoken by God in Genesis 1 = 343 words = 7×7×7 words
Coherence
We do not include the following words as being actively spoken by God: Day, Night, Heaven, Earth, and Seas. These are not actively spoken sentences, but rather titles that God has assigned. We know this because it reads, “And God called the dry land Earth…” Notice how there is no comma before “Earth.” In the grammatical structure of the King James Bible, quotations always follow commas (E.g. “And he said, What hast thou done?”).
Therefore, a clear distinction is made between God “calling” or assigning a 1-word title to something in contrast to the active voice of God (And God said, …). The same type of thing happens in Exodus 16:31, where it says, “And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna…” We don’t interpret this as the children of Israel all shouting in unison, “Manna!” It’s simply giving us the name they assigned it.
The twin to this pattern is in Matthew 1 where God personally speaks a total of 7×7 words.
Genesis 1 = 7×7×7 words spoken by God
Matthew 1 = 7×7 words spoken by God

(In Gen 1:11, “it self” conjoined into “itself” in 1762)

Mat 1 = 50 words
ESV

Thank you for visiting KJV Code in its early launch. If you see a pattern that lacks completeness, that’s because it is still a work in progress. The search result itself should be accurate, but we have yet to add exhaustive summaries and other details to each pattern. Thank you for your patience as we continue to build and improve the site over time. Be sure to check out the FAQ page for hard-to-answer questions and our YouTube channel (@KJVCode) to see when new Pattern Audios are uploaded.

What version of the KJV are you referring to? The original 1611 did not have a comma before every spoken word. It was fairly common and expected, used as a marker for the reader to expect a spoken word, but it was not universal in every single circumstance. Every known printing since 1769 contains 343 spoken words by God in the first chapter of Genesis, but the original 1611 contained 344 (Genesis 1:11). It is a difference in the modernization of the English language, “it selfe” being compounded today as “itself.” A minor issue, some might say, but when talking about “inspiration,” the details matter. So should I conclude that only editions from 1769 onward were inspired, and not the earlier ones? This would contradict many of the other KJV Codes, making for an inconsistent theory, resulting in cherry-picking the data.
