Pattern Analysis: September 23, 2025 Update

A first draft of 28,600 (92%) of the Bible's 31,100 verses has been completed using the Pattern Analysis methodology. During the last three weeks, the book of Ezekiel was finished&mash;a challenging yet very rewarding book. The strong consistency seen in the previous months has continued. Every verse fits this methodology—there are no extraneous verses.

While I still hope to complete this analysis of the Bible by April 2026, I am being encouraged to submit an article about Pattern Analysis to a scholarly journal. If accepted, my desire is to gain wisdom from people with experience in this area. Click here to read more about Pattern Analysis.

I suggest that the implications associated with Pattern Analysis are significant. If one consistent yet complex model for Genesis to Revelation can be shown, that strongly suggests One underlying source behind the entire work, not forty individual authors. This is evidence, not proof, for One inspiration. Therefore we should not be picking and chosing what we like or dislike in the Bible, but instead we should come to grips with what that original source intended, the God who loves us so very deeply.

Comments, questions, and words of encouragement are appreciated.

It is possible that this analysis of the Bible will be completed in April 2026, ten years after it was started. Two manuscripts are being written: Pattern Analysis Methodology, a detailed description of this approach for a more scholarly audience, and Evidence of Holy Spirit Inspiration for those in the congregations and beyond.
