The New Beginning - Hidden Parallels in Genesis 1:1 and 8:14

Updated: Dec 8, 2022



Obviously, this verse is The Beginning:

Genesis 1:1

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ

This verse consists of Seven Hebrew Words - Total Gematria Value: 2,701




After HaShem destroyed the Earth with the flood, this verse represents The New Beginning:

Genesis 8:14

“In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out.”

ובחדש השני בשבעה ועשרים יום לחדש יבשה הארץ

This verse consists of Eight Hebrew Words - Total Gematria Value: 2,701



The total gematria value for both of these verses is 2,701.

2,701 = 37 x73

37 and 73 not only mirror one another, they are also both prime numbers (Star Primes to be Exact – Look into those for a whole new level of understanding).

Not only that, 37 is the 21st prime number and 73 is the 21st prime number, so again, these mirror each other as well.

If we combine these two numbers together, we get 3773 which is 7x7x77.

111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888 and 999 are all perfectly divisible by the number 37.


We can see another divine occurrence of this 37 fingerprint in The Word itself.

The Word in Greek is λόγος (Logos)

The Greek Isopsephy of The Word ( λόγος ) is 373



"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glry as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." - John 1:14


37 are G*d’s Fingerprint that can be observed throughout scripture. I made a huge post, which I just keep adding to, that goes in depth about this.


You can find that one here:



First, let’s briefly review the significance of the number Seven:


There are 7 layers of the skin (2 outer and 5 inner), ocean waves roll in sevens, the rainbow has 7 colors, sound has 7 notes, there are 7 directions, The Jewish Menorah has 7 candles, there are 7 holes in your head, the earth was created in 7 days (including a day of rest), a cube has 7 dimensions (including the inside), the male body has 7 parts, the number 7 is used 735 times in the Bible. Seven is the number of completeness and physical perfection. It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God’s creation of all things.


The word 'created' is used 7 times describing God’s creative work (Genesis 1:1, 21, 27 three times; 2:3; 2:4). There are 7 days in a week and the Sabbath is on the 7th day. There are 7 deadly sins, 7 virtues, 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, 7 wonders of the ancient world, etc. This just goes on and on.


Now, we will go into the significance of the number Eight:


While seven represents the perfection that is achievable via physical means, the number eight symbolizes a higher level of perfection that is beyond the physical realm. Eight would be symbolic of an entity that is one step above the natural order, higher than nature and its limitations; and no doubt about it, this is Yeshua. Even the symbol for infinity, that we're all familiar with, is the number "8" sideways. This seems to be fitting for the infinite nature of G*d.


There are several instances in which the Bible mentions the Eighth Day, pointing to the ultimate culmination of G*d’s plan, the resurrection and judgment of the world. This day will bring the destruction of death and the fulfillment of G*d’s plan of salvation for all mankind.

The Eighth Day, which is specified as being kept at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles in Leviticus 23:33, is the culmination of all the Holy Days. Following the description of the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, it says: “Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.” So the Eighth Day here is separate and distinct from the Feast of Tabernacles.

We can refer to the covenant of circumcision with Abraham (Genesis 17:10-11), which is to take place when the baby is eight days old. Being circumcised on the eighth day was symbolic of being in complete submission to G*d. Today, we know physical circumcision is not required for salvation for all people (Acts 15), but it is also true that circumcision is a symbol of our spiritual commitment and focus; so we must circumcise our hearts. Paul wrote, “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God” (Romans 2:28-29). Paul is talking about righteousness, and being in complete submission to G*d.

Another example of the number eight is with Noah. In his second book, Peter writes to the Church, warning them about false preachers. He makes the point that each individual will be responsible for their own salvation, and he uses Noah as an example: “And [God] spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly” (2 Peter 2:5, KJV). Noah was saved because he was in complete submission to G*d. Seven other people were saved on the ark but not because of their own righteousness; only the eighth was saved because of righteousness. Peter’s point is that in the eternal judgment, each of us will be saved in response to our own righteousness, not anyone else’s, like the other seven in the Ark.


Yet another example of the number eight is in Exodus when G*d told Israel: “You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me” (Exodus 22:29). But when did He say to give these? The next verse reveals: Likewise you shall do with your oxen and your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.” (Exodus 22:30) The first seven days were for preparation, counting toward and looking forward to the eighth day, when the offering of the firstborn was to be given to G*d. But it was not only on the eighth day that the firstborn offering could be made, it was from there on after (Leviticus 22:26). From eight days onward, the sacrifice could be made. Likewise, the fulfillment of the Eighth Day shows that G*d’s Kingdom will be eternal. It will begin, but never end.

As we know, G*d will build another temple complex in Jerusalem during the Millennium (Ezekiel 40 begins the description of that vision). In that vision, G*d explains what it will take to purify the altar before sacrifices can be made: seven days worth of offerings for sin offerings for the priests and for the altar (Ezekiel 43:18-27). Only then—on the eighth day—will the altar be consecrated and G*d will accept the burnt offerings and peace offerings made there. There is a similar seven-day period of consecration for the priests described in Leviticus 8, where Moses first prepared Aaron and his sons for their service as priests to G*d at the tabernacle. After being washed, clothed in the priestly garments, and sprinkled with blood, they stayed in the tabernacle for seven days. “And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you” (Leviticus 8:33). After this, they came out on the eighth day and made a sin offering for the people. The seven days were the time of preparation so that on the eighth day they could begin to fulfill what they had been prepared to do.

Even the Gematria of HaShem and Yeshua both reduce to the number eight...this is no accident.

יהוה (LORD or HaShem meaning (THE NAME) = 26

(when reduced 2+6)

(2+6) = 8

ישוע (Yeshua) = 386

(when reduced 3+8+6 = 17)

(1+7) = 8

HaShem ( יהוה ) is The Father that Yeshua always referred to; or in Hebrew Abba ( אבה ).

( אבה ) Abba or (Father) = 8

There's no doubt it, Yeshua ( ישוע ) truly was The Son of G*d and the human manifestation of our LORD ( יהוה ).

"Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?" - John 14:9


Yeshua also revealed himself alive eight times after his resurrection from the dead:

1) His first appearance alive was to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9 - 11).

2) He then showed himself to two disciples traveling to Emmaus (Luke 24).

3) Next, he appeared to all the disciples except Thomas (John 20:19 - 24)

4) A week later to all of them when Thomas was present (John 20:26 - 29).

5) Yeshua was also seen by 500 believers at one time (1Corinthians 15:4 - 7).

6) Yeshua also met his disciples at the appointed place in Galilee (Matthew 28:16 - 17)

7) Then and on Galilee's shores (John 21:1 - 24).

8) His final meeting was on the Mount of Olives, where he gave his followers instructions before ascending to heaven (Acts 1).

Ιησούς Χριστός = Jesus Christ

Ιησούς = 888

( 888 = 37 x 24 )

So, as we see above, when we take out the 37, then we are left with 24

( 24 = 3 x 8 )

Χριστός = 1480

(1480 = 37 x 40 )

So, as we see above, when we take out the 37, then we are left with 40

( 40 = 5 x 8 )

*Now let’s the 3 away from (3 x 8) and 5 away from (5 x 8) and check it: (3 + 5 = 8)

Know that Yeshua is Salvation and that The Word is The Highest Truth!

The number 8 also corresponds to Baptism, which is required for us to reach the highest level of spiritual perfection. Just as there were 8 people saved from the flood, baptism in water also saves us.


Peter explains this in great detail for us:

"because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ," - 1 Peter 3:20-21

The ultimate meaning of the eight day is the eternal reign of Yeshua, our LORD and Savior; establishing heaven on earth, with all mankind having the opportunity to have been purified and set apart to live forever. What a "great and terrible day" this will be! Great for the believers who are ready for it and terrible for those who aren't.

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:" - Malachi 4:5

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come." - Joel 2:31

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:" - Acts 2:20
