John the Baptist Testifies about Himself
The Sacred Geometry
Story
The author of this gospel narrates how John the Baptist was interrogated in Bethany by the Pharisee Priests and Levites sent by the Temple authorities out of Jerusalem. The gospel author records John's testimony to these Jewish authoritis word for word. John testifies about Jesus Christ, the Law of Moses, Truth, Grace, and God the Father. John testifies that he is not the Christ, Elias, or the prophet Isaiah. Every word of testimony said to, from, or about John the Baptist produced seventeen gematria diagrams in this pericope. When John's 45 words of testimony is laid out row by row the result is amazing, it perfectly fills the hexagram made from 12 equilateral triangles. The first phrase in this story tells the reader that what follows is the testimony of John. The last phrase tells the reader that John's testimony has ended. When the author's 19 words of narration is laid out word by word, row by row, tangent to the 45 words of testimony, the result is equally amazing.
