Although the majority of the gematria cited is based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, there is ample evidence that the King James translation is also an inspired work. The word and letter count of the first and last verses from the KJV, and their relation to 1 John 5:7 is one example. This verse is disputed by biblical scholars, and is generally agreed not to have been part of John's original letter. The evidence suggests that the words were inserted into Greek texts from Latin in the late Middle Ages. Some Bible translations, such as the New International Version and recent editions of the Greek NT, omit the words in brackets:
'For there are three that bear record in heaven, (the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.)'1 John 5:7
The connection between 1 John 5:7 and the Alpha and Omega is amazing. The first and last verses in the King James Bible total 22 words and 88 letters, which is the same word and letter counts in the Greek texts of 1 John 5:7
'οτι τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες εν τωι ουρανωι ο πατηρ ο λογος και το αγιον πνευμα και ουτοι οι τρεις εν εισι' 1 John 5:7 (22 words, 88 letters)
Whether this can be counted as a proof text, or evidence of deliberate manipulation, is debatable. If it's the latter, then the question remains, who were the manipulators? The Latin scribes of the late Middle Ages, the compilors of the King James Version, or was there a divine guiding hand?
