  • Gematria is a practice of assigning numerical values to letters and words in ancient texts. Some researchers have dubbed this phenomenon the "fingerprint of God" when found in the Bible due to the intricate numerical patterns observed. Harvard mathematician Ivan Panin and authors Vedder and Thompson have identified complex numerical patterns in the first 17 verses of Matthew, all centered around multiples of seven. These patterns involve word counts, letter counts, and gematrical values. The complexity of these patterns has led some to suggest that they are evidence of divine authorship rather than mere coincidence.
