This review is from: Biblical Mathematics: (Paperback)

It's very honest of the author to admit several times that he hadn't finished studying this topic before publishing his book, but this doesn't help my confidence in what he had to share!

I do believe that Biblical numbers serve a secondary purpose, and I think the author has some excellent points with regard to the single-digit numbers. But he has some very vague and confusing things to say later on: "When TWENTY-THREE for DEATH is added to THIRTY for BLOOD of Christ, the sum is FIFTY THREE. When THIRTY-SIX for the ENEMY (the one overcome) is subtracted from FIFTY-THREE, the remainder is SEVENTEEN for VICTORY." Huh?! (Capitalization is the author's, and it gets very annoying throughout the text).

And sometimes, when he can't find what he wants in the Bible, he just counts the number of times a word or a name occurs, for example, "The number THIRTY-TWO is associated with a COVENANT. The THIRTY-SECOND time Noah's name is found is where God made a COVENANT with him." The modern-day arrangement of the Bible is not chronological ... and so the "nth" occurance of any specific word or name is really more coincidence than anything else.

Sometimes he counts the number of words in a verse using either the Greek/Hebrew or the English translation, whichever will serve his purpose and make his point. I'm very disappointed in what feels like a forced conclusion to his theory on numbers in the Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Bible numerics made straightforward!, February 7, 1999

This review is from: Biblical Mathematics: (Paperback)

Dr. Vallowe has suceeded in making numerics accessible to and meaningful for Bible students. This book not only presents God's use of key numbers in the Bible in layman's terms, but also provides a basis for further investigations. Although one may disagree with Dr. Vallowe's conclusions about the meaning of certain numbers, his methods derive solidly from the Biblical context in which the numbers are used. Through this timely book, God releases a long-awaited blessing to His people so that in these last days His Word may be understood in greater fullness and detail. Move over, E. W. Bullinger; Ed Vallowe has written the seminal introduction to the subject of Biblical numerics.

5.0 out of 5 stars God as the Author Revealed, August 6, 2002

This review is from: Biblical Mathematics: (Paperback)

The recent passing of Dr. Vallowe was a sad day for many people who knew him. I was glad over the years to be able to sit and talk to this God fearing man. If you have ever doubted the true validity of who the author is of the Bible, you will not doubt that God is the Author and the only Author of the Bible. I have studied his mathematics for years, and it is breath taking. For example, look at page 43 the last two paragraphs. The number 1 is used 1898 times. Add these numbers together and you get 26. 26 means the Gospel of Christ. I have used Dr. Vallowe's numbering in the last chapter of my book entitled Who is Running America Today? and it scares me to see just how Gods hands are on America too. If you don't shout "Thank You God" after studing this book with the Bible, check your pulse, you might just be dead already.
