The
Bible has God's own
signature written into the original texts just like the
watermark on a sheet of
stationary, or a bank note filigree.

The text is divided into seven paragraphs corresponding to the seven days of the week of creation. In each paragraph the important words are used seven times. Therefore, when light is created, this word, with its variants, appears 7 times; it is the same for the fourth day, with the creation of the heavenly lights.
In the second and sixth paragraphs the word "water" appears 7 times.
Still in the second paragraph the word "sky" appears 7 times as well as in the fourth paragraph.
In the whole of the text, the word "earth" appears 21 times which is 3 X 7.
In the fifth and sixth paragraphs the word "animal" appears 7 times.
The first verse in Hebrew seven words of 28 letters which is 4 X 7, the second verse has 14 words which is 2 X 7.
The end of the text on the Sabbath comprises 35 words: 5 X 7 (as many times as the name of God appears in the whole of the story of creation).
In the last paragraph there are three sentences of 7 words where occurs the thought that God blessed the seventh day.
One can reveal in this text many other phenomena of this type of which the enumeration would be fastidious, but these phenomena form a veritable interlock, and it is clear from this listing that there is a real mathematical harmony that links all parts of the text together.
What is true for Genesis is true for the entire Bible and in all the texts. The Israeli scientists have deduced three laws: In each text comprising a whole the name of the principal person in the story or the important subject of the account appears 7 times or in a multiple of 7.
When the necessities of the text require that these names be mentioned more than seven times, theBible changes words, grammatical form, or style in order to respect the "law of seven". The "law of seven" concerns not only words but also entire sentences. This explains the changes in style in the Bible.
These laws cover the whole of the Pentateuch (TORAH or first five books of the Bible) in particular and show its unity.
Let´s take a few examples: In the account of the flood, the principal theme is the revolt of humanity against God, which theBible sums up by the expression "ALL FLESH" which is then the important word. The other theme of the account is the salvation of Noah and his family by the ark. The second important word is then the word "ARK".
