EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE
While some claim the Bible is the most important book on Earth, since its author is God, our Creator, others believe the Bible is at best fiction, and at worse an evil document that deceives people. The Voice of the Martyrs organization sites 52 countries where the Bible is illegal or highly restricted as of 2020. If you have any doubt that the entire Bible is from God, then this book is for you.
Irrefutable Evidence is a must-read book for any skeptic of the Bible. Whether you have no belief in God or religious views outside of the Bible, this book proves the Bible is absolutely divinely inspired. You will discover in this book:
· Hidden in the Hebrew and Greek words and sentences of the Old and New Testaments is a mathematical phenomena that is undeniably designed and not coincidental.
· The numbers associated with the main verses concerning creation have a direct link to numbers derived from the 20 common amino acids in the DNA of all living things.
· The Bible is filled with prophecies that have been fulfilled, including Israel becoming a nation again after over 2000 years.
· Miracles do exist today with documented proof of modern-day miraculous healings similar to miracles documented in the Bible.
No prior knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, Chemistry or Math beyond addition is necessary to understand the facts presented in this book. The Bible is our most direct link to the One who created the earth, the universe, and each of us. It is crucial the world understands that the Bible is from our Creator God.

“For decades I have known and preached on the significance of numbers in the Bible. Irrefutable Evidence opens a whole new dimension of God’s numerical design in the Scriptures. The numerical connection of the living and active Word of God to the DNA of all living things is incredible. Everyone who reads this book will probably say the same thing: ‘Wow!’”
- Troy Brewer, Senior Pastor at Open Door Church in Burleson, Texas and author of over ten books including Numbers that Preach and Redeeming Your Timeline
“This amazing book offered to me a new realm of evidence that the Bible is divinely inspired. It presents the astonishing mathematical design behind the Scriptures—an intelligent design which cannot possibly be attributed to mere coincidence. Along with the evidence of countless fulfilled prophecies from Scripture as well as miraculous healings, any skeptic who seeks out the truth based on these facts will be convinced that the Bible is from the One True God.”
- Pastors William & Lucille Lau, Founders of The Elijah Challenge and authors of Dancing on the Edge of the Earth
“If the Creator of the universe can create the heavens and the earth out of absolutely nothing, and speak it into existence, then it makes sense that He has the creative genius and power to orchestrate the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures into a creative, mystifying marvel of wonder. Donna Caster’s Irrefutable Evidence provides a wonder of God’s gifting in her volume providing one with a reason to believe. I encourage anyone to read this revelation who would question the Bible’s accuracy, inspiration and reliability. Numbers keep us honest.”
- Dr. Dennis Lindsay, President Christ for the Nations Institute and author of over 20 books including Nature Speaks of Intelligent Design
“Irrefutable Evidence will help anyone with misconceptions about the Bible to know that indeed it is from God. I believe that this book will help people of many different countries to look at the Bible in a different way. The fact that the Bible has mathematical design is of supreme importance for skeptics to understand the truth about our Creator. The evidence presented in this book proves the Bible is trustworthy as coming from the heart of God, not from the hearts of man. It is the written Word of God. I whole heartedly endorse this book and encourage people everywhere to examine the evidence.”
- Katherine Hines, Hines Ugandan Ministries and author of They Call Me Momma Katherine
“Irrefutable Evidence is a stunning revelation of the intricate mathematical design of both the Old and New Testaments. People all over the world need to know the truth presented that the Bible is not only about God, but from God.
We read in the Bible that Wisemen from the east followed the star to come and worship Jesus, and Shepherds got the message of Jesus’ birth through an angel and they went to see Jesus. This tells us that God loves both the intellectuals and the common men, and He communicates His love to everyone in a way that they can understand.
Irrefutable Evidence will convince many intellectuals and common people around the world that the Bible is not only about God, but from God Himself. I was blessed and challenged by the personal experiences and testimony of the Author in the last few chapters. I’m sure people from various nations, including India, will find this book very interesting and empowering. I appreciate Ms. Donna Caster for her hard work and deep research she has done in various fields to write this amazing book. I whole-heartedly endorse this book and encourage people everywhere to examine the evidence.”
- Dr. Jebasingh Dhanaraj, India
“As a Muslim Background Believer, I recognize that many people around the world believe that the Bible has been corrupted. However, anyone who reads Irrefutable Evidence will be unable to deny the intentional mathematical design of both the Old and New Testaments. Along with other evidences presented of prophecy and miracles, one will be able to see that the Bible is a gift to us from our Creator God. If anyone reads Irrefutable Evidence with a pure heart, they will discover the Truth of the Word of God and the Hope of Eternal Life through Jesus Christ.”
- Saleim Kahleh, SKMinistries.org
“Donna Caster lays out the case why the Bible is not just a book about God, but is divinely inspired by God and should be taken seriously. If you’re a doubter, a skeptic, or already a believer who just wants the added assurance of how God did and still works things together according to His wisdom and purpose, read this book. Examine the facts, hear the witnesses, and be persuaded by Irrefutable Evidence.”
- Justin Oneacre, Senior Pastor, Freedom House and author of A Champion’s Path
“The numerical evidence, prophetic evidence, miraculous evidence and personal testimony in Irrefutable Evidence is overwhelmingly convincing that the Bible is indeed inspired by God. It is my prayer that this book will ignite a curiosity in all nations to discover the truth of the Bible.”
- John Lewis, Founder of Ignite Ministries, www.igniteministry.org
Introduction
Section 1 - Mathematical Design in the Scriptures
Chapter 1: Original Languages of the Bible
Overview of Hebrew and Greek languages of the Bible and how the letters of these languages also correspond to numbers. No knowledge of these languages is necessary to understand this book.
Chapter 2: Genesis 1:1
The most significant verse of the Bible numerically. Unique numeric and mathematic revelations presented will convince you that the letters and words of this verse, which states the creation of the heavens and the earth, have amazing intelligent design.
Chapter 3: John 1:1
John 1:1 is the New Testament verse that most directly connects to Genesis 1:1. When you see the mathematical similarities and intentional design, you will be convinced that the New Testament is just as inspired from God as the Old Testament.
Chapter 4: DNA Link
Incredibly the numbers associated with Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 correlate directly with the numbers derived from DNA amino acid molecules. Little knowledge of Chemistry is needed and I explain every step of this correlation at a Junior High School level.
Chapter 5: Genesis 1:14
This verse continues to show the mathematical signs God has hidden in His Word with undeniable links to Genesis 1:1 and the DNA in all living things.
Chapter 6: Created in the Image of God
The creation of mankind in the image of God stated in Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:23 has incredible connection to our DNA and the number of chromosomes in human beings. Undeniable evidence of intelligent design in these scriptures.
Chapter 7: DNA Link to Key New Testament Verses
Key New Testament verses that claim “in Him all things hold together”, “sustaining all things by His powerful Word”, “not the smallest letter of the Word will disappear until everything is accomplished” and others are shown to have direct correlation with our DNA.
Chapter 8: The Gospel Message
This chapter is devoted to John 3:16 and the amazing mathematical connection to Genesis 1:1 and our DNA.
Chapter 9: I AM Statements in the Bible
The mathematical phenomena of the I AM statements in the Old Testament and the New Testament give surprising evidence that the entire Bible is inspired by God.
Section 2 - The Evidence of Prophecy
Chapter 10: Prophecy of Kingdoms from the Babylonian
Empire to the Time of Christ
Astounding detailed prophecies about coming kingdoms, political alliances and marriages from the time of the Babylonian Captivity until nearly the time of Christ, a period of about 600 years, all prophesied in Scripture and reviewable from Historical Record outside the Bible.
Chapter 11: Prophecies of Jesus’ First Coming as Personal
Savior of Our Sins
The major prophecies of Messiah as the Suffering Servant and Savior of our Sins is revealed in comparison with Old Testament Prophecies and New Testament fulfillment.
Chapter 12: Return of Jews to Israel
The amazing prophecies scattered throughout the Old Testament that the Jewish people would be restored to their Promised Land in Israel after being scattered to nations all over the earth. These prophecies from over 2400 years ago are being fulfilled right now in our life time!
Section 3 - The Evidence of Miracles and Personal Testimony
Chapter 13: Evidence of Miracles
A look at several modern-day documented miracles that indicate the miraculous, supernatural events recorded in the Bible are not fiction, but actual miracles.
Chapter 14: The Evidence of Personal Revelation
Personal Testimony of miraculous workings of God in my life through divine intervention, personal Word from God through the Bible, angelic help, supernatural miracles, overcoming demonic attack and peace in difficult trials.
Chapter 15: Conclusion
Putting it all together, this book demonstrates irrefutable evidence that the Bible is not only a book about God, but from God.

Chapter Notes
A couple of years ago I happened to see an article on the Internet that Genesis 1:1 has a mathematical pattern of sevens discovered by a man name Ivan Panin.1 Ivan immigrated to the United States from Russia in 1877 when he was 22, and earned a Master’s Degree from Harvard University in Literary Criticism. He was a firm agnostic, but after discovering some numerical patterns in the Hebrew scriptures of the Old Testament and the Greek language of the New Testament, he became a believer in God. He realized that the numerical patterns were designed and hidden into the scripture, not circumstantially random. His conversion to Christianity at the age of 35 made newspaper headlines. He shared his findings and con- version to Christianity in his book, The Structure of the Bible: A Proof of the Verbal Inspiration of Scripture, published in 1891.2
The article I stumbled on shows that Genesis 1:1 in the original Hebrew has a designed structure of “sevens”. There are seven Hebrew words in this verse, 49 letters and 30 different combinations of “sevens” that Ivan discovered in the one verse. He presented his findings to the Mathematics Department at Harvard and challenged the professors to creatively design a sentence in the English language on any subject that would have similar patterns of sevens. They could not do it. This discovery of numerical design in Genesis 1:1 led Ivan to spend the next 50 years of his life researching the mathematical patterns imbedded in the Scripture which reveal intelligent design of the Bible.
The mathematical and numerical design in the Bible is intriguing due to factual numbers that correspond to the text as I will show, step by step. The mathematical phenomena are not something that could have been designed by the human writers of the Bible, as you will see. Since Hebrew and Greek letters correspond to numbers, it is possible to see numerical design and mathematical formulas that link verses from the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament with undeniable precision and intentional, intelligent design.
Additionally, by breaking down the DNA molecules of all living things into the number of protons and neutrons in each molecule, there is astound- ing correlation between the numbers associated with DNA and numbers associated with numerous verses throughout the Bible. The correlation is so solid and clear, it is undoubtedly the result of intelligent, intentional design. The mathematical and numerical patterns and data I will show you are irrefutable evidence the Bible is divinely inspired. It is not only a book about God, but a book from the Eternal God.
Although the numerical evidence is the heart of this book, I will also highlight three groupings of prophecies in the Old Testament (Tanakh) that have already been fulfilled:
1) Prophecies in Daniel concerning world history from the time of the Babylonian Empire to the time of Jesus Christ,
2) Prophecies throughout the Old Testament concerning the coming of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, in his role as Savior of mankind from sin, and
3) Prophecies throughout the Old Testament concerning the resto- ration of Israel as a nation.
Prophecy is supernatural and is another evidence the Bible is divinely in- spired. The detail and clarity of fulfilled prophetic words written hundreds and thousands of years beforehand in the Bible is amazing.
Some people discredit the Bible as fiction because of the miracles re- corded in it. I also have devoted a section to modern-day, documented, undeniable miracles that can be examined. I have selected miracles with de- tailed, documented data that can be investigated: miraculous instantaneous healings, incredible stories of survival, and other examples of Biblical-type miracles happening today. Since miracles still happen today, they certainly happened, as recorded thousands of years ago in the Bible.
Finally, I will share my own personal testimony how I have experienced the Bible as a supernatural book, experienced miracles in my own life, and have connected with our Creator in so many wonderful ways.
For those interested in a few basic facts about the Bible:
· The Bible consists of 66 books written by 40 persons (30 in the Old Testament and 10 in the New Testament) over 1500 years, from mid-14th century BC to first century AD.
· The thread of the Bible is consistent even though written by 40 different people over 1500 years.
· The 66 books of the Bible are referred to as the “Canon”, the books regarded as inspired by God. (See biblica.com FAQ #7 for more information on how the Canon was chosen.)
· Jesus referred to the Old Testament books as “scripture”, which means “inspired”. He quoted verses of scripture from 24 books of the Old Testament.
· 99.6% of the New Testament has been corroborated by other his- torical documents.3
· The Bible has been translated into more languages than any other book. According to Wycliffe Global Alliance, as of October 2020 the complete Bible has been translated into 704 languages, the New Testament into 1551 languages and at least some Scripture has been translated for 3415 languages.4
Getting to know the heart of God through the reading of His Word has been the highest blessing of my life. It is my earnest desire to help others recognize truth, the Bible is God’s love letter to humanity. For some people, understanding God did give us a hidden mathematical code in the Scripture, is just what they may need to believe the Bible is from the Creator-God, not human origin.
In order to look at the mathematical evidence of intelligent design of the Bible, you have to look at the original language. The Bible is made up of two main sections: the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament. The Old Testament was written predominantly in Hebrew, and the New Testament was written in Greek. Please see more detailed information about the original languages of scripture in Appendix 1.
Hebrew and Greek Letter and Number Equivalents
The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters of consonant sounds. Five of the letters have a modified form when the letter ends a word. There is not an upper-case and lower-case form of the letters. Hebrew is different from English since it is written from right to left.
The Greek alphabet has more similarity to English in that it has 24 letters, (26 characters in the English alphabet), with upper and lower case letters, and is written from left to right. The earliest Greek manuscripts of the New Testament were written with all upper-case letters.
Both Hebrew and Greek alphabets represent numbers and letters. Prior to the usage of the numerical digits—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0—numbers were assigned to the specific letters of the alphabet. Numbers as we use them today originated in India about the 6th century and were introduced to Europe through the writings of Middle Eastern mathematicians about the 12th century.1 But before that, letters of the alphabet were used for both letters and numbers.
Table 1. Hebrew Letter and Number Equivalents
If you notice the final form of the last five letters in Table 1 have two different numbers that they can represent. For the purposes of the mathematical intelligent design I will show of the scriptures in this book, I use the same number equivalent for the letter whether it is used at the beginning or within a word, or as a final form. For example, the letter Kaf is equivalent to 20 whether it is used at the beginning, middle or end of a word.
In Table 2, you may notice there is no letter equivalent for the number 6 or the number 90. In ancient Greek, there used to be a letter in the Greek alphabet called wau or digamma which represented the number 6, but it was later dropped from the alphabet in the Byzantine era.2 Likewise, the Greek letter Qoppa (upper case Q) is also an obsolete letter of the Greek alphabet which became extinct by pre-Classical times (800-500 BC).3
Since the letters also represent numbers, it is possible to assign each word an equivalent number by adding up all the individual letters of the word. This practice is called gematria. The gematria of each word or phrase can be significant, as well as the gematria of an entire verse. With this foundation let’s get started to understand the mathematical evidence of divine inspiration of the scriptures. And the best place to start is, “in the beginning.”
With the background of the previous chapter, we are now ready to begin our journey of discovery. Beware, be prepared to be blown away! The Bible is organized by books, chapters and verses. The very first book of the Old Testament is Genesis. Genesis has 50 “chapters,” and each of these chapters is made up of verses. So, whenever anyone refers to a particular verse of the Bible, it is the Book, ChapterNumber: VerseNumber. So, the first verse of the Bible is
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”1
– Genesis 1:1
This verse tells us that we have a creator, God. The heavens, the earth, all of the elements that make up the earth, our atmosphere, and every living thing on the earth was intricately created by God. What I’m going to show you is the verse itself, in Hebrew, has definitive, intelligent, mathematical design that could not just be coincidental or even orchestrated by the human being, Moses, who wrote the words.
First, let’s look at the structural phenomena of “sevens” in the verse. Figure 1 shows the Hebrew letters and words of this verse. Remember that Hebrew reads right to left.
Figure 1. Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew and English with letter and word count.2
There are seven key structural elements of the verse that reveal a pattern of sevens through the word and letter combinations:
There are seven Hebrew words that make up the verse.
There are 28 Hebrew letters that make up the verse, a multiple of seven (7x4).
The third and fourth words combined have seven letters.
The fourth and fifth words combined have seven letters.
The sixth and seventh words combined have seven letters.
The first three words have 14 letters, which is a multiple of seven (7x2).
The remaining four words have 14 letters.
Figure 2 shows the numerical equivalents of each letter and the associated gematria of each word, by adding up all the letters of each word. The top number is the gematria of the word, and the numbers immediately above the letters are the numbers associated with each letter. Remembering that Hebrew is written from right to left, the first word is on the far right and the seventh word of this verse is on the far left.
Figure 2. Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew and English showing the numerical
equivalents of each letter and word.
By assigning the numerical equivalent to each letter and determining the gematria of each word, there are some additional structural elements of sevens:
· The numeric value of the second word is 203, which is a multiple of seven (29 x 7).
· The sum of the first and last letters of all seven words is 1393, which equals 199 x 7 (2+400 + 2+1 + 1+40 + 1+400 + 5+40 + 6+400 + 5+90).
· The sum of the first and last letters of the first and last words is 497, which equals 71 x 7 (2+400 + 5+90).
Before moving on, I’d like to share a little bit about the number seven and how it is significant in the Bible. The number “7” is significant because it represents spiritual perfection and completeness. There are seven days in a week. As recorded in Genesis 2, God created the world in six days, rested on the seventh, and blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
– Genesis 2:2-3
To debate whether these days are literal 24-hour days or seven periods of time is not the purpose of this book. However, it is a stumbling block to some and the Bible is immediately discredited as fiction since it is believed in the scientific community that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. It is important to get over this stumbling block because the important truth is that God created us, the heavens and the earth. The literal amount of time it took is not relevant. I believe that time in eternity is completely different than time on earth. Also, keep in mind that there are an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1. There is 1/0.9999999999 and on to infinity, as well as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and on to infinity. Time, as we know it on earth is most likely not the same as time when God created the heavens and the earth. The intricate details of how God created the world is not disclosed in the Bible. What is hidden in the first verse of the Bible is that the sentence has a structural component of sevens, purposefully designed into the verse.
There is much more mathematical phenomena hidden in Genesis 1:1. Moving on, if you add all the words together, you get the gematria of the entire verse which is 2701.
Here is where things start getting interesting. At first glance, there is noth- ing seemingly special about the number 2701. However, let’s dissect this number. The factors of 2701 are 1, 37, 73, 2701. Some interesting phenom- ena of the number 2701 are listed below:3
Figure 3. The first four triangular numbers.
· The 73rd triangular number is 2701.
Genesis 1:1 also has a triangular symmetry with the 37th triangular number.
37triangular number and make one large triangle that is equivalent to a base of 73, the 73rd triangular number, which equals 2701.4 It’s confusing to describe in words, but picture it below in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Triangular structural unity in Genesis 1:1.
There is mathematical structural unity to Genesis 1:1 with these triangular numbers that come from the gematria of the verse.
I recognize “666” is the number of the AntiChrist (Revelation 13:18). May this book help people discover the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ and have nothing to do with the AntiChrist. I include the geometric structure of Genesis 1:1 with three triangles of “666” simply as a geometrical phenomenon of the verse.
Another interesting triangular number that is in Genesis 1:1 is the 7th triangular number. The 7th triangular number is 28. Genesis 1:1 has 7 words and 28 letters.
There is additional geometrical structural unity in this verse as well with hexagonal numbers. Figure 5 shows the first four hexagonal numbers.
Figure 5. The first four hexagonal numbers.
The first hexagonal number is one. The second hexagonal number is six because there are six points in a hexagon. The third hexagonal number consists of two hexagons sharing one point with additional points midway between the first hexagon. Adding up all the points comes to 15. The formula for hexagonal numbers is n(2n-1). Plugging in 37 for n gives 2701.
· The 37th hexagonal number is 2701.
There is also structural unity with the numbers 37, 73 and 2701, the gematria of Genesis 1:1, with star numbers. Figure 6 shows the first four star numbers.
