Nothing like a false prophet justifying his wickedness and disobedience by twisting scripture and by claiming it is acceptable to G-d because G-d created it. Using this faulty reasoning, you could claim that it is acceptable to G-d to study signs in the sun, moon, and starts (astrology) because G-d created the heavens! I cannot believe the false prophets claim numerology is acceptable to G-d just because G-d created numbers. G-d said to not be involved in numerology. G-d did not give the verse numbers or gematria in scripture - they were made up later and gematria was made up to divine special "interpretations" from scripture.
G-d commanded Moses to read Torah to the congregation every year so THEY could understand it.
2 Peter 1
20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Kind of strange that false prophet Wade Balzer is quoting scripture that G-d is against the practtices he is defending - although in his original post, he only hilights about the numerology and does not hilight the part that it is practices by Israel's enemies and G-d is warning against it.
You can find a "word study" books to say what you want it to but the question is what does G-d say about it? If G-d was behind the numerology like false prophet Wade Balzer is claiming, then why are all the false prophecies and dates the false prophets conjure up always WRONG??? If they still claim G-d is behind it, then the "god" they serve is satan.
If the false prophets think G-d is pleased with all their false prophecies and false rapture dates, then they are definitely deluded. G-d is not blessed when false prophets make prophecies in His name when He did not give them the prophecy.
If numerology is from G-d He would not have condemned it and it would NEVER be wrong. ALL of the false prophets numerology has benn 100% WRONG so that is proof G-d did not invent numerology even though He did invent numbers. He knew satan would pollute His inventions so He carefully warned us to not get involved in occult numerology practices.
G-d did not give us chapter or verse numbers. He did not invent gematria. satan is using them to gain followings into the occult. G-d is allowing it as a test to see who will obey Him and who will follow the false prophets and their wicked ways:
Deuteronomy 13
1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. 5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 "There shall not be found among you anyone who uses divination or who practices witchcraft or one who interprets omens or is a sorcerer or who casts a spell or is a medium or a spiritist or who calls up the dead. For whosoever does these things is detestable to the Lord."

Wade Balzer (31 Jan 2009) "Interpreter of Omens and Observation of times..."
Dear all,
There is someone who has brought this to my attention, and I wish to understand what is being said here.
The accusation is that I am using practices that are forbidden in scripture in my interpretation of the scriptures, namely interpreting omens, and the observation of times.
Here is the verse:
Deu 18:10-12
10 There shall notH3808 be foundH4672 among you any one that maketh his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to pass throughH5674 the fire,H784 or that usethH7080 divination,H7081 or an observer of times,H6049 or an enchanter,H5172 or a witch,H3784
11 Or a charmer,H2266 H2267 or a consulterH7592 with familiar spirits,H178 or a wizard,H3049 or a necromancer.H1875 H413 H4191
12 ForH3588 allH3605 that doH6213 these thingsH428 are an abominationH8441 unto the LORD:H3068 and becauseH1558 of theseH428 abominationsH8441 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth drive them outH3423 (H853) from beforeH4480 H6440 thee.
For the sake of understanding what this word is, here it is found in other contexts?
Gen 9:14 And it shall come to pass,H1961 when I bringH6049 a cloudH6051 overH5921 the earth,H776 that the bowH7198 shall be seenH7200 in the cloud:H6051
Lev 19:26 Ye shall notH3808 eatH398 any thing withH5921 the blood:H1818 neitherH3808 shall ye use enchantment,H5172 norH3808 observe times.H6049
Deu 18:14 ForH3588 theseH428 nations,H1471 whichH834 thouH859 shalt possess,H3423 (H853) hearkenedH8085 untoH413 observers of times,H6049 and untoH413 diviners:H7080 but as for thee,H859 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath notH3808 sufferedH5414 thee soH3651 to do.
Jdg 9:37 And GaalH1603 spakeH1696 againH3254 and said,H559 SeeH2009 there come people downH3381 H5971 byH4480 H5973 the middleH2872 of the land,H776 and anotherH259 companyH7218 comeH935 along byH4480 H5973 the plainH436 of Meonenim.H6049
2Ki 21:6 And he made(H853) his sonH1121 pass throughH5674 the fire,H784 and observed times,H6049 and used enchantments,H5172 and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizards:H3049 he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 to provoke him to anger.H3707
2Ch 33:6 And heH1931 caused(H853) his childrenH1121 to passH5674 through the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of Hinnom:H2011 also he observed times,H6049 and used enchantments,H5172 and used witchcraft,H3784 and dealt withH6213 a familiar spirit,H178 and with wizards:H3049 he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 to provoke him to anger.H3707
Isa 2:6 ThereforeH3588 thou hast forsakenH5203 thy peopleH5971 the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 becauseH3588 they be replenishedH4390 from the east,H4480 H6924 and are soothsayersH6049 like the Philistines,H6430 and they please themselvesH5606 in the childrenH3206 of strangers.H5237
Isa 57:3 But draw nearH7126 hither,H2008 yeH859 sonsH1121 of the sorceress,H6049 the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whore.H2181
Jer 27:9 Therefore hearkenH8085 notH408 yeH859 toH413 your prophets,H5030 nor toH413 your diviners,H7080 nor toH413 your dreamers,H2472 nor toH413 your enchanters,H6049 nor toH413 your sorcerers,H3786 whichH834 H1992 speakH559 untoH413 you, saying,H559 Ye shall notH3808 serveH5647 (H853) the kingH4428 of Babylon:H894
Mic 5:12 And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine hand;H4480 H3027 and thou shalt haveH1961 noH3808 more soothsayers:H6049
From my WordStudy dictionary:
H6049
ָעַנן
‛ānan: A verb meaning to practice soothsaying, fortune-telling, divining, magic. While it is clear from the contexts and the versions that this term is used for some type of magic or witchcraft, its etymology is unclear. Therefore, the specifics of the practice it connotes are equally unclear. However, it is clear that it was strictly forbidden, and the one who practiced this act was detestable to God (Deu_18:10, Deu_18:12). Isaiah appears to use the term figuratively to demean the idolatrous Israelites (Isa_57:3).
Obviously, I have NEVER in my life considered that trying to understand scripture based on numerical data would EVER be a forbidden practice. I reasoned that God created NUMBERS. We have a book called “Numbers”. Daniel was told by the angels information concerning observation of the number of days between until the Messiah would come. Furthermore, he was told about the 2300 days, 1290 days, and the 1335 days. Ezekiel was told about the days being a prophetic shadow of the years that he was prophesying about. How many times in the scripture does it say something about the “self-same day”? Did not someone “observe the times”?
My point is this? this particular word H6049 must have a meaning that different and separate from the experiences that Daniel had or any other Saint that God gave specific instructions concerning time, measurement, or numbers. How about the scripture:
Rev 13:18 HereG5602 isG2076 wisdom.G4678 Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 theG3588 numberG706 of theG3588 beast:G2342 forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a man;G444 andG2532 hisG848 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and six.G5516
Would God tell us to count the number of the beast (if you have understanding) if the practice of counting numbers is a FORBIDDEN practice in and of itself?
I know the scripture is clear? LET HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING? in other words? ?? if you don’t have understanding? maybe you should NOT be counting the numbers, because YOU will make a mess if you try and interpret what you don’t understand.
Let’s focus on this verse here, because the same word used that is forbidden H6049 is used of God?
Gen 9:14 And it shall come to pass,H1961 when I bringH6049 a cloudH6051 overH5921 the earth,H776 that the bowH7198 shall be seenH7200 in the cloud:H6051
I think the key to understanding this, is that H6049, is something that is reserved for God’s purpose. If it comes to be any other purpose than it is designed for, it is sin. Again, I am just trying to understand, and if someone has specific insight, I am listening. Perhaps it is like cults who use the Bible to promote their twisted and false doctrines. The Bible is not sinful, but their use of the Bible to promote their false religion is sinful. Does that make sense?
I cannot find anywhere in the Bible that says that Gematria, or looking at a Verse number is in and of itself sinful, or a demonic practice. Yes, gematria does play a huge part in Mystism, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and occultic practices, but those who use Gematria that are into Mystism, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and the Occult, are they using something that God created for an evil purpose? I am convinced that is the case. If I am wrong, please help me understand.
So that the purpose of God can be manifest, I will declare to you a mystery hidden within this verse. I JUST NOW HAVE SEEN IT. In fact, I am COMPLETELY amazed that God is able to hide this mystery here:
Do you know the woman of Revelation 12? Do you know the mystery of the manchild? Have you heard of the “Cloud of Witnesses”? I find that very interesting the writer of Hebrews would used such a term, “CLOUD of WITNESSES”. Last night my pastor took of his shoe and threw it at the man speaking in our youth service because what the man said “blessed his socks off”. (Actually I was thankful it was only his shoe!!! LOL)
In the very first translation of the bible in the English language in 1382 contains what I believe is the name of that Woman with child in Verse # 6051. No? I am sorry? ? if you are that interested, you can do the research yourself. Since the 1382 version is extremely difficult to find online, even though you can find the 1395 version fairly easily, I don’t know that I should even point it out. I will explain what I have seen without specific details.
Do you know of the law of loosing the shoe and spitting in the face? John the Baptist said, “who’s sandal’s I am unworthy to loose.” That reference that John made was a back reference to the law of loosing the shoe. For the sake of the reader, I will say nothing more other than the BOW H7198 that is seen in the CLOUD H6051 declares this mystery. It is even more amazing that the picture I have seen in the spirit is embedded in the language and structure of the Bible.
Verse # 7198
Rth 4:7 Now thisH2063 was the manner in former timeH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerningH5921 redeemingH1353 and concerningH5921 changing,H8545 for to confirmH6965 allH3605 things;H1697 a manH376 plucked offH8025 his shoe,H5275 and gaveH5414 it to his neighbour:H7453 and thisH2063 was a testimonyH8584 in Israel.H3478
Verse # 6051 = Book 6:9:13
Jos 9:13 And theseH428 bottlesH4997 of wine,H3196 whichH834 we filled,H4390 were new;H2319 and, behold,H2009 they be rent:H1234 and theseH428 our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH4480 H7230 journey.H1870
Have you not read that wisdom is not found in the land of the living?
2Ki 13:21 And it came to pass,H1961 as theyH1992 were buryingH6912 a man,H376 that, behold,H2009 they spiedH7200 (H853) a bandH1416 of men; and they castH7993 (H853) the manH376 into the sepulchreH6913 of Elisha:H477 and when the manH376 was let down,H1980 and touchedH5060 the bonesH6106 of Elisha,H477 he revived,H2421 and stood upH6965 onH5921 his feet.H7272
Anyhow? you can chase the rabbit trails, and this picture is repeated over and over again in the scripture. One more note? isn’t it interesting that Jesus referred to the wineskins in a parable declaring the mysteries of old?
Mar 2:22 AndG2532 no manG3762 puttethG906 newG3501 wineG3631 intoG1519 oldG3820 bottles:G779 elseG1490 theG3588 newG3501 wineG3631 doth burstG4486 theG3588 bottles,G779 andG2532 theG3588 wineG3631 is spilled,G1632 andG2532 theG3588 bottlesG779 will be marred:G622 butG235 newG3501 wineG3631 must be putG992 intoG1519 newG2537 bottles.G779
Mark 2:22 could be written NT 2:2:22.
Do you know that G2222 = LIFE (Zoe)
Do you know that Verse # 5707 has a gematria of 2222?
Do you know that Strong’s H5707 = witness?
Can you see the connection?
Gen 2:22 And(H853) the rib,H6763 whichH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 fromH4480 man,H120 madeH1129 he a woman,H802 and broughtH935 her untoH413 the man.H120
Isa 22:22 And the keyH4668 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will I layH5414 uponH5921 his shoulder;H7926 so he shall open,H6605 and noneH369 shall shut;H5462 and he shall shut,H5462 and noneH369 shall open.H6605
You either see it, or you don’t!!!
