First & Last Words of First & Last Verses 77,777x

Summary

Imagine that every time you see the words “in” or “the” or “earth” or “Amen” in the Bible, you are microscopically zoomed into a signature that God has intricately woven throughout 25,000+ verses of scripture.

After you step back far enough, you start to see something you never noticed up close. A picture emerges that can only be seen from a distance: All of those words (In + earth + The + Amen) add up to precisely 77,777 mentions across the entire Bible.

And furthermore, you realize those words are not at all random. They are literally the first and last words of the first and last verses (Genesis 1:1, Revelation 22:21).

Not something random like 21,252 mentions, or 98,962, or 65,016. Not even something like 44,444. But rather: 77,777 mentions! God’s own number of perfection- repeating in magnificent scale: five sevens in a row.

This is not science fiction… it’s real.

And only in our generation, with the help of computers, could we ever have discovered this “Alpha and Omega” superstructure that mathematically exists in “the book of the LORD” (Isaiah 34.16).

In the King James Bible, the first and last words of the first and last verses (In, earth, The, Amen) produce a total sum of 77,777 mentions when the last words are case sensitive.

Now, the case-sensitivity setting is not a “gimmick” or a parlor trick to get the number we want; it is the key that is turned by the last word of the Bible.

🔑 “Amen” = 77 mentions (case sensitive)

Without case sensitivity, Amen is mentioned 78 times (there is one lowercase mention of “amen” in Numbers 5:22). And without case sensitivity, the first and last words of the first and last verses would produce 77,780 mentions, (which closely reflects the 78 mentions of Amen/amen).

But when we turn case sensitivity on for Amen, we get the total of 77 mentions, and applying that case sensitive logic congruently to earth, (the last word of Genesis 1:1), unlocks the grand total of 77,777 mentions for the entire Bible.

Two sevens for the key; Amen by itself (77x), and five sevens for the whole pattern (77,777x)… leaves us with a total of seven sevens.

The first and last words of the first verse of the Bible are: In… earth (Genesis 1:1).
The first and last words of the last verse of the Bible are: The… Amen (Revelation 22:21).

In the Entire Bible
In = 12674x
earth = 985x (Case sensitive)
The = 64041x
Amen = 77x (Case sensitive)

Total (12,674 + 985 + 64041 + 77) = 77,777 mentions of (In + earth + the + Amen) the first and last words of the first and last verses in the Bible.

Notice how there are not just five sevens in this pattern (77,777). There are seven sevens, because Amen itself is mentioned 77 times (case sensitive). In fact, the pattern gets its congruency from Amen being case sensitive, because there is 1 lowercase mention of “amen” in the Bible:

Amen = 78x
In + earth + The + Amen = 77780x

Amen (case sensitive) = 77x
In + earth (case sensitive) + The + Amen (case sensitive) = 77,777x

Thus, the pattern features a total sum of 77,777x (five sevens), with the last word mentioned 77x (two sevens), leaving us with seven sevens altogether.

Furthermore, 7 of the 77,777 mentions are in Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21. Count the bold and underlined words below:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 (5 mentions)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:21 (2 mentions)

Total (5 + 2) = 7 mentions in Genesis 1:1 & Revelation 22:21.

This pattern was originally discovered because both the first and last words of each verse consist of a combined 7 letters:

• The first and last words of Genesis 1:1 (I + n + e + a + r + t + h) = 7 letters
• The first and last words of Revelation 22:21 (T + h + e + A + m + e + n) = 7 letters

If that were not enough confirmations, there are 7 case sensitive words in the 77,777 count:

1. In (case sensitive) = 336x
2. in (case sensitive) = 12,338x
3. earth (case sensitive) = 985x
4. The (case sensitive) = 1851x
5. the (case sensitive) = 62,173x
6. THE (case sensitive) = 17x
7. Amen (case sensitive) = 77x

Total Mentions (336 + 12338 + 985 + 1851 + 62173 + 17 + 77) = 77,777x

And finally, while this may appear sophisticated at first, it’s worth noting for anybody interested in a deeper layer of confirmation. When Jesus (case-sensitive) appears in the same verse any of these 77,777 mentions, the total count within those verses comes out to 7x7x7x7. See the following pattern for screenshots and details: (In + earth + The + Amen + Jesus = 2401x = 7x7x7x7 when Jesus (case sensitive) is in the verse)

In the Scriptures

In the first and last chapters of Revelation (1:8,11, 22:13), the Lord calls himself by the following titles:

• Alpha and Omega
• The First and the Last
• The Beginning and the End

And of course, anybody familiar with the Bible knows that “seven” is God’s number of perfection.

• Seven days of creation (Gen. 2:2-3)
• Seven pillars of wisdom (Pro. 9:1)
• Seven times compassing Jericho with seven priests, seven trumpets, on the seventh day (Jos. 6:13-15)
• Seven feasts, the seventh in the seventh month, with seven young bullocks offered in the seventh day of the feast (Num. 29:32-34)
• etc. (…this list would go on for a very long time)

In Revelation, Jesus is presented as a Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God, who stands as “Alpha and Omega” in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, holding seven stars in his right hand, proclaiming his word unto the seven churches. (Rev. 5:6, 1:11-17).

Jesus is not only the Word of God (John 1:1,14), Jesus is the Amen. (Rev. 3:14)

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Revelation 3:14

Not only is Amen mentioned 77 times in the King James Bible (case sensitive), Jesus used the word “Amen” in Greek (Ἀμήν) in 77 instances in the Gospels.

So when we see this 77,777 anomaly in the first and last words of the first and last verses of the word of God, with logic that rests on “Amen” being a perfect 77 mentions, the implications are clear: God has placed his signature on this Bible.

Jesus Christ is the first and the last. And this book is his testimony to the seven churches, and to whosoever will take the water of life:

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18

Coherence

One of the most asked questions about this pattern usually goes something like this: Why is the “Case Sensitive” setting not consistent for all four words? It would seem to be consistent one way or the other.

Whether sincere or critical, this is an excellent question. Here is our sevenfold answer:

First, this pattern does not work with case sensitivity applied to all four words, but it is 100% congruent. It receives its congruency specifically from Amen the last word of the Bible being mentioned 77x Case Sensitive by itself, or 78x Any Case.

Amen = 78x
In + earth + The + Amen = 77780x

Amen (cs) = 77x
In + earth (cs) + The + Amen (cs) = 77,777x

Notice how the pattern not only receives its case sensitive logic from “Amen” (77 → 77,777), it also reflects “Amen” without case sensitive settings applied (78 → 77,780).

Incongruent searches (it would be “a stretch” if one of these searches produced 77,777x and was set forth as a pattern)
In (cs) + earth (cs) + The + Amen (cs) = 65,439x
In + earth + The (cs) + Amen (cs) = 15,589x
In (cs) + earth + The + Amen (cs) = 65,441x
In (cs) + earth + The (cs) + Amen (cs) = 3251x
In (cs) + earth (cs) + The (cs) + Amen = 3250x
In (cs) + earth (cs) + The + Amen = 65,440x
In (cs) + earth + The + Amen = 65,442x
In + earth (cs) + The (cs) + Amen = 15,588x
In + earth + The (cs) + Amen = 15,590x
In (cs) + earth (cs) + The + Amen (cs) = 15,587x

Congruent searches (with Amen (cs) 77x)
In (cs) + earth (cs) + The (cs) + Amen (cs) = 3249x
In + earth (cs) + The + Amen (cs) = 77,777x

Second, if you were to make the words case sensitive to get the 77,777 count, you would need 7 words:

1. In (case sensitive) = 336x
2. in (case sensitive) = 12,338x
3. earth (case sensitive) = 985x
4. The (case sensitive) = 1851x
5. the (case sensitive) = 62,173x
6. THE (case sensitive) = 17x
7. Amen (case sensitive) = 77x

Total Mentions (336 + 12338 + 985 + 1851 + 62173 + 17 + 77) = 77,777x

Third, the two patterns together have a total of seven 7’s.

Two Sevens: Amen (cs) = 77x
Five Sevens: In + earth (cs) + The + Amen (cs) = 77777x
Total of Seven Sevens between both patterns: 77…77777

Fourth, the “Amen” pattern has several sister patterns that bear witness to its intentionality. Examples:

• In + Amen = 777x in Gen/Rev
• Last words of Genesis and Revelation are both 77th Mentions (Egypt & Amen, case sensitive)
• The + Amen, First and Last Words of the New Testament 980x in the N.T. which is how many times the name Jesus* shows up in the N.T. (Pure Mentions). 980 = (70×7) + (70×7) The number 70×7 according to Jesus himself represents complete forgiveness of sins (Matthew 18:22).

Fifth, there are 7 capitalized words in the first and last verses (In, God, The, Lord, Jesus, Christ, Amen), which have a 77 pattern of their own: The 7 Capitalized Words of the First & Last Verses Mentioned 205×77 in the Bible (Jesus Christ = 205 Greek Ordinal)

Sixth, if we were to make them all case sensitive, we get a somewhat interesting result:

In (cs) + earth (cs) + The (cs) + Amen (cs) = 3249x
3249 = 57 × 57

Its digits 5 and 7 are fascinating as they relate to the 77,777 pattern, since 77,777 contains five sevens. It would be nothing if it were 57 multiplied with a random number. The interesting aspect is that it’s 57 multiplied by itself.

Seventh, God himself does not do things 100% consistently in prophecy or other parts of the Bible. He has his own mysterious ways of doing things. As mentioned in point number 1 above, the 77,777 pattern bears congruency according to the word Amen, and we know that Jesus is the Amen. Everything in the Bible points to Jesus, including this pattern.

Probability and Statistics

As seen in this video [The KJV: God’s Miracle on Your Bookshelf, Timestamp 3:00], a Ph.D. engineer (who goes by Dr. Jones) used a tool called MATLAB to determine the chances of 4 words randomly producing 77,777 mentions. With MATLAB, Dr. Jones analyzed the entire King James Bible and ran 1,000,000,000 trials, picking 4 random words in each trial. If the 4 random words produced 77,777 mentions, it counted as a success. Out of 1 billion trials, there were 999,990,122 failures, and only 9878 successes, which is roughly a 1 in 100,000 chance.

Since the initial 1 billion trials, Dr. Jones has run several more tests, and worked out multiple methods of finding the probability for this pattern, which breaks down to three particular methodologies:

A. 4-Word Shuffle: Randomly picking 4 words that produce 77,777 mentions;
(P ≈ 1 in 102,000)

B. Qualified 4-Word Shuffle: Randomly picking 4 words that produce 77,777 mentions AND have correct case-sensitive settings to be first and last words of two verses;
(P ≈ 1 in 368,000)

C. All Verse Pairs: Randomly picking 2 verses where their first and last words produce 77,777 mentions;
(P ≈ 1 in 396,000)

Dr. Jones suggests Method C (Verse Pairs) as the most reliable, where the odds are calculated by selecting two random verses and checking if their first and last words add up to 77,777 mentions. It would require 400,000 rounds of randomly picking two verses in order to get just 1 successful verse pair. To see Dr. Jones’ data, sources, and explanation, scroll to the top of this page and click the “Probability” button.

And we should also note that the Probability methods above do not take into account the fact that Amen by itself is mentioned 77 times (which has a 1 in 1,868 chance of random occurrence). When we combine both odds (1 in 396,000 * 1 in 1,868), the total probability yields a ~1 in 740 million chance.

Capitalization Logic Interlocks with Jesus

If we were to apply capitalization logic to Earth (rather than case sensitive logic), with the rationale of Amen being capitalized 77x in the Bible, then we could once again reach a total of 77,777 by including all mentions of the name of Jesus(‘) in the King James Bible.

In the Entire Bible
In = 12674x
Earth = 2x (Capitalized)
The = 64041x
Amen = 77x (Capitalized)
Jesus* = 983x

Total (12,674 + 2 + 64041 + 77 + 983) = 77,777 mentions of (In + Earth + the + Amen + Jesus) the first and last words of the first and last verses in the Bible together with the name of Jesus.

Note – there are no UPPERCASE mentions of “AMEN” in the King James Bible.

Conclusion

Not only is the last word of the King James Bible “Amen” mentioned 77 times (case sensitive). With congruent case sensitive settings, the first and last words of the first and last verses (In + earth + The + Amen) are mentioned 77,777 times combined.

How could this happen randomly in the most printed Bible in history? Today, English is the most spoken language of the world, spoken by over 2 billion people. But in 1611, English was only spoken by about 5 million people. That means the total number of English speakers from 1611 to today increased by ~1,995,000,000 souls (+39,900%). No man in the 17th century could have known the reach and influence that this Bible in English would exercise. Yet here we are.

By all rational means, we are witnessing either one of two things:

a) An “accident” of miraculous proportions; perfectly interwoven with the identity of Jesus Christ in scripture, in the most printed Bible of the world, in the most spoken language in history
b) The hand of almighty God

It is a plain scriptural fact that Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John 1:1), the Amen, (Revelation 3:14), is called the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13). And in Revelation, he is revealed as a Lamb with seven horns, and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God, who takes the book with seven seals. He stands as Alpha and Omega in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, holding seven stars in his right hand, proclaiming his word unto the seven churches. (Revelation 5:6, 1:11-17).

This pattern is not a “fun fact that can be found in any large body of text.” It features God’s number of perfection in extraordinary magnitude (77x, 77,777x) in the first and last words of the first and last verses of the Bible. It stands in faithful and true alignment with Jesus Christ himself: the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the author and finisher of our faith, the Amen.

Love it, hate it, or pay no heed. You cannot change that it exists.

The Gospel

If you have not been born again and washed in the blood of the Lamb, please know that these numbers cannot save you from your sins. They simply point us to the one who can: Jesus Christ.

~2000 years ago, God was manifest in the flesh, so that he could offer himself a sacrifice for the sins of every man. After pleasing God’s wrath on the cross, and after 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth, Jesus rose again the third day according to the scriptures, and is alive for evermore, seated at the right hand of God.

Will you humbly come to the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and everlasting life in the kingdom of God? He died for us. And the Bible says he “is rich unto all that call upon him.”

Have you ever done that? Have you ever called upon him?

If you haven’t, you don’t need to attend a church, or repeat a prayer, or confess your sins to a priest.

You need to enter your closet. Shut the door. And pour out your heart unto Jesus.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:9-13

And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
John 11:26
