Objective: Discern the meaning in fractal patterns
A fractal pattern has the characteristic that it repeats in smaller and larger portions. When looking at the bookends, each idea was seen in a verse. A pattern was discerned on the same level of communication.
The fractal pattern will be established at different levels of meaning. It will connect the idea expressed in a single letter, with the idea expressed by a single word. It will then be seen in a single verse, and a single chapter. If you are familiar with the whole Bible, the same idea can be seen expressed by the whole.
This pattern begins with א, expands into בראשית, and is repeated in Ge 1:1, and in Ge 1. At various places in scriptures, the pattern can be discerned in smaller parts as well; diving back into the depths of the fractal pattern.
You may wish to stop here and study on your own to see if you can discern the pattern.
The first part of the pattern starts with an invisible aleph:
∞ The invisible aleph א
Pre Gen 1:1 - The ancient riddle asks why Genesis 1:1 starts with the second letter of the alphabet ב rather than the first א. For the riddle to be asked, these things must be presumed:
- That there is an order to the letters. In fact, each letter is also a number.
- That there is meaning to each letter. In fact, the letter derives it's meaning from the strokes which form it.
- That God has a purpose in the things he doesn't say. It is foreign to the Greek mind. The things that are not said can be interpreted by the same rules which guide interpreting the things that are said.
The aleph is a silent letter. It's formation is "God spoke and created the heavens and the earth". In Genesis 1:1 it is also an invisible letter. It is invisible and silent to say that when God spoke and created the heavens and the earth, there was no one there to see or hear him do it.
The second part is found within the first word of Ge 1:1 בראשית.
- ב-ר-א-ש-י-ת - a revelation to man ב it is revealed ר that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth א his word did not return void ש his plan for creation י was finished ת
The third is the first verse:
Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The fourth is the first chapter which tells how God created the heavens and the earth in six days.
Each day of creation also points to one of six sections of the Bible, which tells us that God is the creator.
Summary
This fractal pattern which explodes from an invisible aleph to a word, to a sentence, to a chapter, to a book, tells us that God is the creator. It permeates all of scripture. God even tells us that it makes him angry if we don't acknowledge him as the creator.
This is the first and most important doctrine of the Bible.
It is not uncommon to find the same idea expressed in a letter, word, and sentence, but usually they are not as ordered as this.
