The Third Day Bible Code

[i]The Third Day Bible Code[/i] examines a third day motif that occurs in some of the most important events in the history of Israel recorded in the Bible. Whether one agrees with the author's sensational thesis about the timing of Christ's return, this book will serve as a strong apologetic for Jesus' resurrection and strengthen Christians in their faith.

This book attempts to solve the Samaritan riddle that is the focal point of the Dunn Debate. Dr. James D. G. Dunn's first book, Baptism in the Holy Spirit (1970), claims the New Testament says baptism in the Holy Spirit always occurs simultaneously at conversion-initiation. In contrast, classical Pentecostals contend that Spirit baptism always occurs subsequent to conversion and is evidenced by tongues-speaking. They mostly cite Acts 8:4-25 for "subsequence." It says Philip preached to the Samaritans and they "believed," but they did not receive the Spirit until Peter and John came days later and laid hands on them. Dunn says these Samaritans and Jesus' 120 Jewish disciples in Acts 2 were not "Christians" until they were baptized with the Holy Spirit. Zarley agrees with Pentecostals about subsequence in both cases. But he claims these Samaritans and the Gentiles in Acts 10 were Spirit baptized due to Peter's presence, using his metaphorical "keys of the kingdom" Jesus had promised to give him in Matt 16:19. After Peter opened kingdom doors for all three of these biblical classifications of people, all people afterwards are Spirit baptized simultaneously upon conversion, as Paul teaches and Dunn says, except for the Ephesians anomaly in Acts 19:1-7.

This book is the first major study to investigate Jesus’ resurrection using a memory approach. It develops the logic for and the methodology of a memory approach, including that there were about two decades between the events surrounding Jesus’ resurrection and the recording of those events in First Corinthians. The memory of those events was frequently rehearsed, perhaps weekly. The transmission of the oral tradition occurred in various ways, including the overlooked fourth model—“formal uncontrolled.” Consideration is given to an examination of the philosophy and psychology of memory (including past and new research on (1) the constructive nature of memory, (2) social memory, (3) transience, (4) memory distortion, (5) false memories, (6) the social contagion of memory, and (7) flashbulb memory). In addition, this is the first New Testament study to consider the insights for a memory approach from the philosophical considerations of (1) forgetting and (2) the theories of remembering and from the psychological studies on (1) memory conformity, (2) memory and age, and (3) the effects of health on memory. It is argued that Paul remembers Jesus as having been resurrected with a transformed physical body. Furthermore, the centrality of Jesus’ resurrection in Paul’s theology suggests it was a deeply embedded memory of primary importance to the social identity of the early Christian communities. New Testament scholars and students will want to take note of how this work advances the discussion in historical Jesus studies. The broader Christian audience will also find the apologetic implications of interest.

The Bible's number code is authentic! Using all new material and the latest research on Gematria, researcher Bonnie Gaunt delves into the fascinating new patterns of time and number that reveal the master plan of the 'Great Mathematician' to create the Kingdom of God on Earth. Gaunt's exciting research confirms the time of 'Kingdom Come' by the Number Code and the beautiful Golden Proportions. Chapters include: Finding a New Method: Why 6,000 Years?; The Years 1999 and 5760; The Pilgrim Festivals; Confirmation of Time Blocks; Jubilees: a Countdown; Seven Times(The Amazing Golden Proportion).

Researcher Bonnie Gaunt continues her search on Gematria and Bible codes. In this book, Gaunt makes a new discovery of the numeric patterns in the Gematria of the Bible and their relationship to the 3:4:5: triangle, the earth, moon and sun, presents an exquisite display of evidence of the magnificent Author of Creation and His time-line for the blessing of man. Using the Number Code, it is found that the parable of the Good Samaritan is, in fact, a time prophecy, telling the time of Jesus' return. His miracles of healing and of turning water into wine have been encoded with evidence of the time and the work of the beginning of the great 'Third Day'. The Number Code takes us on a journey from Bethlehem to Golgotha, and into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God and the building of the New Jerusalem.

The book is an intriguing study of four books of the Bible where the author shows how a series of symbols created from biblical stories can be used to uncover hidden numerical patterns that translate from language to language. Amongst other things, he shows that 1 Chronicles can be manipulated by an algorithm to produce the bloodlines of Jesus as they are in Matthew and Luke.

God's Day Code is one of the most prominent and significant features of the Bible. It is based on the principle that God views a thousand years as but one Day in His sight. Since so much of end-time prophecy is written from this heavenly perspective, this key unlocks the true meaning of many prophecies concerning the Lord's return. Learn how the plan of redemption is based on a great Week of thousand-year Days and how this marks our generation for Christ's return. Learn why the Church has always lived in "the last Days," why Jesus compared our time with the days of Noah, and how to reserve your own chariot of fire for the rapture.
