The Mnemonic Bible - - - Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3

Good morning,

Before we begin more journeys let us spent the day going over another type of overview. This overview is a flat based, non imaginative, 2-dimensional type. The patterns and conventions here are important for some who are thus oriented.

But before that i feel it is important to give you a general warning. The enemy of our soul is indeed subtle and has been spotted in places where the nether world intersects with our thoughts. He is able to twist the wick burning the candle of truth, that is, to make wick head any true knowledge, labor, or experience if we allow it. Here then is the warning and flat overview.

WARNING:
- - - 1. Knowledge puffs up _ _ _ _ _ even Bible knowledge
- - - 2. The letter kill, but the spirit gives life _ ___ _ _on the surface we are dealing with letters
- - - 3. There is the written word and the Living Word _ _ _ _ _ the one testifies of the other
- - - 4. God's Word is a two edged sword _ _ _ _ _ handle carefully

FLAT OVERVIEW:

The word 'mnemonic' is a Greek word and means - to assist the memory. By the use of the term 'Bible Mnemonics’' i mean - the use of a Biblical memory system as a frame of reference to assist one in memorizing anything, including the Bible. Bible Mnemonics’ is a comprehensive inward Bible knowledge building tool. By the use of the terms 'mnemonic bible, mnemonic book, mnemonic essay, ect.', i mean - a bible, book, or essay organized ideally and inwardly, for the purpose of total recall of the actual Bible, book, or essay.

The Bible has 66 books, however, in order to represent every verse of the Bible with a 6 digit number (example, Rev 22:21 as 662221), the Psalms must be divided into two books because of the high chapter count, and Psalms 119:100-176 also must be divided out into a book because of the high number of verses.

The divisions are as follows:
Psalms 1:1 - 99:9 is the 19th book of the Bible represented as 190101 - 199909
Psalms 100:1 - 150:6 is the 67th book of the Bible represented as 670001 - 675006
Psalms 119:1 - 119:99 is in the 67th book of the Bible represented as 671901 - 671999
Psalms 119:100 - 199:176 is the 68th book of the Bible represented as 681900 - 681976
All other books of the bible hold their regular sequential order 1 - 66.
The Bible has 66 books, plus the 2 books from the divisions above, making a total of 68 books.

The following is a list of books by ten with their 6 digit numerical representations:
1 Gen. 1:1 through 1 Sam. 31:13 _ _ _ _ 010101 - 093113
2 2 Sam 1:1 through Psalms 99:9 _ _ _ _100101 - 199909
3 Prov 1:1 through Joel 3:21 _ _ _ _ _ _ 200101 - 290321
4 Hosea 1:1 through Mal 4:6 _ _ _ _ _ _ 300101 - 390406
5 Mat 1:1 through Eph 6:24 _ _ _ _ _ _ 400101 - 490624
6 Phil 1:1 through James 5:20 _ _ _ _ _ 500101 - 590520
7 1 Pet 1:1 through Psalms 119:176 _ _ _ 600101 - 681976

The last number 681976 (representing Ps 119:176) is the highest number, the numerical boundary of all numbers involved in the Book-chapter-verse scheme, a representation of the entire list, and therefore also represents the entire Bible. Now all of the 31,094 verses of the Bible can be represented with the six digit numbers; 010101 through 681976.
The number 681976 also represent the full list (see above) of the Bible by books of 10. The first two digits of the right side of the above list (09,19,29,39,49,59,68), allow for an easy sequential remembrance of the list with the aid of phonetic/numeric peg-words.

Each number in the list also represents the final and largest Book-chapter-verse for each set of 10 books. By finding the sub-list of each list, and sub-list of each sub-list, one can construct a way to remember how many chapters are in each book, and how many verses are in each chapter.

What remains is to associate one key word or idea from each verse represented, to the 6 digit number of the verse, and then one has the tools to remember the Bible verse by verse, in and out of order. One approach is to use all of the key words that only occur once in the scripture thus locking in and separating thousands of verses.

By carrying this one step farther with this cumbersome Book-chapter-verse scheme one can tag on one more 6 digit number to remember every original word that is related to each verse. For example the last Greek word in Rev. 22:21 (662221) is 100281, 10 for the tenth Greek word in the verse, and 0281 for the strong's number of the original word.

Another 6 digit number can easily be constructed to tie everything to the page numbers of your personal bible if you so desired and also the type-set graphics.

Once we get a handle on the Book-chapter-verse numbering system of the Bible and the above method, we find ourselves involved at the word and thought level of the Bible.
The best way to potentially remember the Bible word for word (in and out of order) is to number each word.

By numbering each word, and because this gives each word a 6 digit number, and because of our base 10 counting system, we create a mnemonic bible based on multiples of 10. The book-chapter-verse system and mnemonic bible system intersect and network to create a wealth of material for free form associations, numeric/phonetic peg-word/phrase conversions, and recall. The Bible is found to have 789,656 words. Note the following display of a mnemonic bible:

The mnemonic bible ["Amen" (.789656 million words)] has 8 mnemonic 100,000 word books as follows:

book # text word # (Note: 5 decimal points - 0.00000, mark the word number as a book

1 that _0.99999
2 the _ 1.99999
3 all _ _2.99999
4 with _3.99999
5 hath _4.99999
6 the _ 5.99999
7 that _ 6.99999
8 Amen 7.89656
(note: all these 6 digit numbers require a personal numeric/phonetic peg-word/phrase)

Each mnemonic 100,000 word bible book, has 10 - 10,000 word mnemonic essays, for example lets look at the mnemonic book 'that 6.99999' from #7 above, made as follows:

essay # text word # (Note: 4 decimal points – 00.0000, mark the word number as an essay)

1 his _ _ 60.9999
2 and _ _61.9999
3 of _ _ _62.9999
4 unto _ 63.9999
5 from _ 64.9999
6 they _ 65.9999
7 And _ _66.9999
8 man_ _67.9999
9 officers 68.9999
10 that _ 69.9999

Each 10,000 word mnemonic essay is made up of 10 - 1,000 word mnemonic chapters, for example lets look at the 10,000 word mnemonic essay 'that 69.9999' from #10 above, made up as follows:

chapter # text word # (Note: 3 decimals – 000.000, mark the word number as a chapter)

1 Pavement 690.999
2 Jesus_ _ _691.999
3 me _ _ _ _692.999
4 the _ _ _ _693.999
5 leaping _ _ 694.999
6 that_ _ _ _695.999
7 in _ _ _ _ _696.999
8 land_ _ _ _697.999
9 heard_ _ _ 698.999
10 that _ _ _ 699.999
(note: all these 6 digit numbers require a personal numeric/phonetic peg-word/phrase)

Each 1,000 word mnemonic chapter is made of 10 - 100 word paragraphs, for example lets look at the 1,000 word mnemonic chapter 'that 699.999' from #10 above, made up as follows:

paragraph # text word # (Note 2 decimals – 0000.00, mark the word number as a paragraph)

1 clothes 6990.99
2 great 6991.99
3 healed 6992.99
4 men 6993.99
5 Ghost 6994.99
6 may 6995.99
7 And 6996.99
8 he 6997.99
9 him 6998.99
10 that 6999.99

Each 100 word mnemonic paragraph is made up of 10 - word lists of 10 words each, for example lets look at the 100 word mnemonic paragraph 'that 6999.99' from #10 above, made up as follows:

list # text word # (Note: 1 decimal – 00000.0, mark the word number as a list)

1 came 69990.9
2 here 69991.9
3 And 69992.9
4 thou 69993.9
5 Jesus 69994.9
6 the 69995.9
7 into 69996.9
8 baptized 69997.9
9 the 69998.9
10 that 69999.9

Each word list has ten words in numerical and incremental sequence, for example lets look at the 10 word list of 'that 69999.9' from #10 above, made up as follows:

word # text word # in context (Note: no decimals – 000000. marks the word level)

1 water 699990
2 the 699991
3 Spirit 699992
4 of 699993
5 the 699994
6 Lord 699995
7 caught 699996
8 away 699997
9 Philip 699998
10 that 699999
(note: all these 6 digit numbers require a personal numeric/phonetic peg-word/phrase)

Now that we have displayed a sample of the book-chapter-verse Bible number system and the mnemonic bible (based on a word count), we are ready to show the intersection and netscape of the two.

Let's take the word "astray" (Ps 119:176) from the phrase "I have gone astray like a lost sheep". This is our choice of a word or concept to make an association with the last verse of our 68 book Bible. The book-chapter-verse number is 681976. Associating "astray" with this number will give us an important idea for this important verse. "Astray" is the 416,136th word of the Bible. These two numbers come together from the two different numbering systems. Word number 416136 is contained in verse number 681976, so one can make the peg-word/phrase associations for future recall. 681976 has a unique position in the total book-chapter-verse number system.

416136 has a unique position in the total mnemonic bible as follows:

Mnemonic bible
- - - the word ‘astray’ 416136 is the seventh word in word list ‘lost’,
- - - the word list ‘lost’ 41613.9 is the forth list in the paragraph ‘of’,
- - - the paragraph ‘of’ 4161.99 is the second paragraph in the chapter ‘gate’,
- - - the chapter ‘gate’ 416.999 is the seventh chapter in the essay ‘to’,
- - - the essay ‘to’ 41.9999 is the second essay in the book ‘hath’,
- - - the book ‘hath’ 4.99999 is the fifth book in the mnemonic bible ‘Amen’
- - - the mnemonic bible ‘Amen’ .789656.

Book-chapter-verse system
- - - 681976 is the seventh set of 10 books in the Bible
- - - 681976 is the 68th book (the last two books are by division)
- - - 681976 represents the 1st divided chapter of a set of verses in Psalms 119
- - - 681976 represents the last verse of Ps 119:100-176

Let's take the word "know" (James 5:20) from the phrase "Let him know, that he which converteth...". This is our choice of a word or concept to make an association with the last verse of our 59th book. The book-chapter-verse number is 590520. Associating "know" with this number will give us an important idea for this important verse. "Know" is the 769,890th word of the Bible. These two numbers come together from the two different numbering systems. Word number 769890 is contained in the verse number 590520, so one can make the peg-word/phrase associations for future recall. 590520 has a unique position in the total book-chapter-verse number system as follows.

769890 has a unique position in the total mnemonic bible as follows:
Book-chapter-verse system
- - - 590520 is the sixth set of 10 books in the Bible
- - - 590520 is the 59th book of the Bible
- - - 590520 is the last chapter of James
- - - 590520 is the last verse of chapter 5

Mnemonic bible
- - - the word ‘know’ 769890 is the first word in word list ‘error’
- - - the word list ‘error’ 76989.9 is the tenth list in the paragraph ‘error’
- - - the paragraph ‘error’ 7698.99 is the ninth paragraph in the chapter ‘an’
- - - the chapter ‘an’ 769.999 is the tenth chapter in the essay ‘an’
- - - the essay ‘an’ 76.9999 is the seventh essay in the book ‘Amen’
- - - the book ‘Amen’ 7.89656 is the eighth book in the mnemonic bible ‘Amen’
- - - the mnemonic bible ‘Amen’ .789656.

Like "astray" and "know" in the examples above, any and every word has a number and location (in a verse and list) that intersect to form a network of intersections that are useful for learning, knowing, and remembering the Bible.

Not only can numbers be converted to meaningful sounds, for example;
- - - Gen. 50:26 - the 01 (first) book, 50th chapter, 26th verse
- - - 01 50 26 - finding a numeric/phonetic peg-word/phrase we use saddle cinch=01 50 26, but any text can be converted to numbers, for example;
"In the beginning God created the"=219771

So instead of using a peg-word, a 6 word biblical phrase can be used as a substitute such as; "saw the holy city new Jerusalem"= 015026.

And so we see that every word of the Bible has a number, location, and number for the 6 word phrase that it begins. The number of the word and the location of the word belong to two different intersecting numeric systems. The 6 word phrase that the word begins generates a 6 digit number that can be used as a numeric/phonetic peg-phrase.

Furthermore a 6 digit number can be tagged onto every verse, this number counts and identifies every word in the original language. Another 6 digit number can be tagged onto various words to identify their page number and literary information if so desired.

Here is the complete set of all of these 6 digit numbers:
- - - Book-chapter-verse 010101 - 681976
- - - word number 000001 - 789656
- - - 6 word phrase 000001 - 999999 (intermittent)
- - - original language --0001 - --xxxx (dependent on verse)
- - - page in Bible 001--- - 926--- (depends on book)

These all can be valuable for peg-word/phrase formation, free form association, sorting (for sequence and patterns), and total recall for all information and relationships involved.

As a side note there is one convention i noticed throughout the universes in general; In the book-chapter-verses system, when peg words are used, two three-word combinations are used for chapter boundary verses, and three two-word combinations are used for the rest of the verses, for example: for Gen 50:26, the peg word is saddle cinch, and for Gen 50:25 or less the peg word takes this shape - sud lace nail. However, there are many exceptions and in the development of each travelers skills anything that works and is pure (remember the enemies’ devises) is full of joy.

And so we end a full day of meditation concerning this type of overview. Enjoy the rest of the evening.
