Those authors were scattered throughout various countries of the world and from widely different backgrounds. The 66 books of the Bible 39 in the Old and 27 in the New were written by 33 different people. This complex system of numbering visibly and invisibly saturates every book of the scriptures emphasizing certain passages and illustrating deeper or further meaning in types and shadows. These created such a stirring in the heart of the Russian that he dedicated 50 years of his life to painstakingly comb the pages of the Bible.

It was curiosity that first caused Panin to begin toying with the numbers behind the texts. The numeric value of a word is the sum total of all its letters. In the original languages of the Bible, mostly Hebrew and Greek, there are no separate symbols for numbers, letters of the alphabet are also used to indicate numbers. Panin found his proof in the oldest and most accurate manuscriptsthe Received Hebrew Text and the Westcott and Hort Text. This was the first of the discoveries that led to his conversion and uncovered the extensive numeric code. In examining the text he became aware of a number relationship. Panin was curious as to why the Greek word for 'the' preceded the word 'God' in one case and not the other. He was casually reading the first verse of the gospel of John in the Greek: 'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was God.' It was in 1890 that Panin made the discovery of the mathematical structure underlining the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament. Panin was known as a firm agnosticso well known that when he discarded his agnosticism and accepted the Christian faith, the newspapers carried headlines telling of his conversion.

And after spending a number of years studying in Germany, he went to the United States where he became an outstanding lecturer on literary criticism. He was a mathematical genius who died a Harvard scholar and a citizen of the United States in 1942. As a young man he was an active nihilist and participated in plots against the Czar and his government. Ivan Panin was born in Russia on December 12, 1855. Vital research on this numeric seal was completed by a native of the world's most reknowned atheistic nation, Russia. Bible numerics appears to be God's watermark of authenticity. It would seem the divine hand has moved to prevent counterfeiting in the pages of the Bible in a similar manner to the line that runs through paper money. The authenticity of the Holy Bible has been attacked at regular intervals by atheists and theologians alike but none have explained away the mathematical seal beneath its surface.
