Since receiving what can only be described as a supernatural inspiration to use gematria to confirm the truth of Scripture, I have been led by the Spirit to use the numerical value of words in a way that is not accepted by authorities in gematria. I am illiterate in Hebrew and Greek, and I was inspired to use the root word spelling for words according to Strong's Concordance instead of the correct spelling according to rules of grammar in Hebrew and Greek. Using this method, I have been led to hundreds of gematria confirmations of Biblical truth. One such truth is the number 3168 in association with what is claimed in Scripture regarding Jesus.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginnning with God. John 1: 1-2
If root words in Hebrew are used to proclaim this Biblical truth, the identity of the Word is confirmed. (Strong's number indicated for each word)
In the beginning (H7225) was (H1961) the Word, (H1697) and the Word (H1697) was (H1961) with (H5973) God, (H430) and the Word (H1697) was (H1961) God. (H430) The same (H1931) was (H1961) in the beginning (H7225) with (H5973) God (H430) and was (H1961) the Son (H120) of God. (H430)
ראשִׁית הִיה דּבר דּבר הִיה עם אלהִים דּבר הִיה אלהִים הוּא הִיה ראשִׁית עם אלהִים הִיה בּן אלהִים
86 + 52 + 20 + 86 + 110 + 911 + 20 + 12 + 86 + 20 + 206 + 86 + 110 + 20 + 206 + 206 + 20 + 911 = 3168
Lord Jesus Christ = Κυ̍̍ριος ̔’Ιησοῦς Χριστο̍ς = 800 + 888 + 1480 = 3168
In the New Testament, the word "rhabboni" is used only twice, both times in regard to Jesus.
Jesus (G2424) is (G2076) the only begotten (G3439) Son (G5207) of God, (G2316) Rhabboni. (G4462)
̔’Ιησοῦς ’εστι̍ ὁ μονογενης Υιος Θιος Ραββονι = 888 + 515 + 70 + 496 + 680 + 284 + 235 = 3168
I have recorded several hundred such gematria confirmations as well as more controversial findings. For anyone interested, some of what has been revealed to me can be found @:
http://www.thepurelanguageofgod.comAlthough the method that I have used is unconventional to say the least, and is rejected as invalid by those knowledgable in gematria and the languages of the Bible, it is not something to which I had given great deliberation, but simply what I felt guided to do by the Spirit. I will leave it up to those who review what I have recorded to decide for themselves if it is a revelation of truth or a coincidence of unprecedented proportions.
