In + The + Beginning + Jesus 77,777x

Summary

When we combine the first 3 words of the Bible are “In the beginning…” with the name above every name, who created all things, Jesus, we get a total of 77,777 mentions. Note- we do not include the all UPPERCASE mentions of “THE” with the logic of there being no UPPERCASE mentions of “IN” nor “BEGINNING” in the Bible.

In the Entire Bible (Case-sensitive)

In / in = 12,674x
The / the = 64,024x 
Beginning / beginning = 106x
Jesus / JESUS = 973x

Total Mentions: (12674 + 64024 + 106 + 973) = 77,777x of (In + The + Beginning) + Jesus in the Entire Bible.

A very interesting note about this search is that it produces 913 verses when we narrow down the search scope to Same Chapter. If you aren’t familiar with Same Chapter patterns, you are missing out on some of the most mind-blowing patterns in the Bible.

913 is notorious in Bible numerics for one thing: “IN THE BEGINNING”

The very first word of the Hebrew Bible (בראשית) translates to “In the beginning” and it has a standard numeric value of 913.

More explanation on this can be found in the pattern: The 7^7 Elton Anomaly Embedded in the First Word of the Hebrew Bible (913) and the Golden Ratio?

Let’s return our minds to the 77,777 count at hand. One logical objection that could be raised is the use of “JESUS” (UPPERCASE) but not “THE“. Here is where it gets interesting. There are 17 mentions of “THE” (UPPERCASE) in the Bible, as well as 17 mentions of “in the beginning” (as a whole phrase) in the Bible.

Intererestingly, if we were to include “THE” (UPPERCASE) in the count, and conjoin all “in the beginning” phrases into 1 mention (instead of 3 separate mentions of In + the + beginning), we would get a perfect 77,777 count with “Word” (Capitalized) and all mentions of Jesus* included in the search.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3

Here is the breakdown:

In the Entire Bible

“In the beginning” = 17x
In = 12,674x (-17x)
the = 64,041x (-17x)
beginning = 106x (-17x)
Word (Capitalized) = 7x
Jesus* / JESUS = 983x

Total Mentions: [17 + (12,674 – 17) + (64,041 – 17) + (106 – 17) + 7 + 983]  = 77,777x of (In + the + beginning + Word + Jesus*) Conjoined “In the beginning”

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Ephesians 3:9

And the 913th mention of (Jesus* + word) lands us exactly on the first mention of capitalized “Word” in John 1:1.
