(It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.)
Amen.
Amazing, Elmer! Thanks for sharing that!
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Isaiah 29:13
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Matthew 15:8,9
"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD,
"I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Jeremiah 31:33

Wow, thanks Elmer! That's really cool and I love stuff like this!! Just proves that God is the Great I AM, including the Great Mathmatician. Like that is just a coincidence? Please. Every single word in the Bible is there by Supernatural design. There are so many interlocking things in the Bible, and numbers are one of the most overlooked. There are a lot of hidden things in numbers.
I heard some teaching one time on the Torah code.
It seems that if one applies a certain pattern to all five books...
The first two spell “Torah” – the last two spell it backwards.
The center book, Leviticus, spells “YHWH”.
Myths like this try and bolster confidence in the inerrancy of a book, much like the 'Bible code' which has also been proven a hoax.
The bible is in many many ways AWESOME, but it is not a 'magic divine book' (so to speak) as many adhere to. Just like the myth of Papal infallibility, this myth was the new one (to replace the old one when the reformers exposed the old one).
It is the natural urge of man to want something perfect and divine to place their physical hands on. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately) the closest thing we have on earth to a pure representation of divine perfection resides within the human heart.

It's called "love".
I'm not espousing the Bible code or any other code.
'Merely saying that I had heard a teaching on it once.
There were similarities to the OP.
There are no secret messages of salvation or loopholes hidden in the letters. It has all been spelled out.
But I think it's not beyond God's capability to have a bit of "fun" in the construction of His Word.
