Thank you for your research and reply. It seems that you ate the only one that has intelligence and common sense.
Most people believe that Gematria is the same as bible code or numerology. But all three are actualy not related.If you do the research you will find out that each one is different .
Very good research on the history of Gematria but still incorrect. I will explain. Gematria has been Commonly used to encryp words or names in ancient times as you have explained, but not a complete ancient book like the bible. The only ancient book that exists with complete 100% Gematria Is the bible, proven
fact by Mathematicians.
Maybe that's because Bible is the only book to survive this long. There may have been many more books in Gematria.

This is the Fibonacci series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. It is very simply explained as each number in the series being the sum of the previous two numbers. The ratio of each successive pair of numbers (starting with 3/2) in the series approximates phi (i.e., 8 divided by 5 is 1.6). Why is this important? Because the Fibonacci series is the basis of the spiral patterns common in nature: in shells, hurricanes, whirlpools, spiral galaxies, DNA, and plant life. Phi is all around us. For example: the ratio of scales in the opposing spirals around a pine cone are 5:8; bumps on a pineapple are 8:13; seeds in a sunflower are 21:34. All of these ratios are adjacent pairs in the Fibonacci series.
What does this have to do with the Bible?
