Original Bible FAQ
We have scientifically determined that words and verses in the original Bible are coded with social and scientific information that are more advanced than today’s science. As such, it can’t be a document created by a mere human in a cave. Therefore, the original Bible was created by a super-intelligent entity named in the original Bible as “GOD אלהים” and “YHWH יהוה” (known as Lord). Only the “GOD” entity can describe the genesis period with the encoded mathematical formulas.
Logically, believers who think that the original Bible was created by humans, assembled over time, are praying on a history book and guiding their lives based on an archeology book. Logically, if you believe that GOD created the universe, GOD can also make the Bible appear without the need for “inspiring human writers” to write it.
While the original Bible was created by GOD and is encoded with messaging to humanity on four different levels, any human translation becomes merely a “story of the Bible” written based on a human understanding and interpretation of the complex, coded original Hebrew Bible. Since only the Hebrew letters, words, and parables are embedded with the code, any translation will lose any divine messaging and become merely a story, as understood by a mere human.
Can a human interpretation, or mistranslated book, like KJV, be really holy? Is that the Word Of GOD or the word of another man?
GOD (Elohim אלהים coded 86) is not necessarily the same as Lord (YHWH יהוה coded 26). While GOD is a classification (like saying human, animal, or plant), YHWH is the name of the entity. The YHWH name is the combination of the words: past (היה), present (הווה), and future (יהיה).
We can scientifically determine, with the highest certainty, that YHWH is the creator of:
- The 22 Hebrew letters
- The Hebrew language, and
- The original Bible
It is highly likely that YHWH brought into existence earth and life forms. It is likely that YHWH was brought the universe into existence. There is also a high probability that GOD is directly or indirectly, responsible for our daily lives, events, and what humans consider to be random, unknown, uncertain, or simply, luck.
We are researching the scientific difference between GOD and YHWH. For now, we assume the term “GOD,” which can be anything and everything, from a particle to the entire nature, or the universe.

Haggai Book FAQ
The book of Haggai, also called “The Prophecy Of Aggeus”, is the 10th of 12 Old Testament books that bear the names of the Minor Prophets. Haggai helped mobilize the Jewish community to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem after the Babylonian Exile and prophesied the glorious future of the messianic age.
The book consists of four prophecies delivered over a four-month period in the second year of the reign of the Persian king Darius I the Great. Haggai’s oracles show his concern for the immediate reconstruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. He believed that the people’s economic distress was caused by their negligent delay in starting the construction and that Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah under Darius, was God’s chosen Davidic representative.
Haggai reported that three weeks after his first prophecy the rebuilding of the Temple began “They came and began to work on the house of the LORD Almighty, their God, on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the King.” (Haggai 1:14–15) and the book of Ezra indicates when it was finished: “The Temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.” (Ezra 6:15)
In the book of Haggai, Zerubbabel laid the foundation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. According to the biblical narrative, he was a governor of the Achaemenid Empire‘s province Yehud Medinata and the grandson of Jeconiah, the penultimate king of Judah. Zerubbabel led the first group of Jews, numbering 42,360, who returned from Babylonian captivity in the first year of Cyrus the Great, the king of the Achaemenid Empire.
In all of the accounts in the Bible that mention Zerubbabel, he is always associated with the high priest who returned with him, Joshua son of Jozadak. Together, these two men led the first wave of Jewish returnees from exile and began to rebuild the Temple. Appointed by Darius I, Zerubbabel was governor of Yehud province. It was after this appointment that Zerubbabel began to rebuild the Temple.
Of Davidic origin, Zerubbabel is thought to have originally been a Babylonian Jew who returned to Jerusalem at the head of a band of Jewish exiles and became governor. Influenced by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, he rebuilt the Temple. As a descendant of the House of David, Zerubbabel rekindled Jewish messianic hopes.
Apart from Obadiah, Haggai is the shortest book in the Old Testament, but its teachings are nonetheless significant. Haggai clearly shows the consequences of disobedience (1:6,11; 2:16-17) and obedience (2:7-9,19). When the people give priority to God and his house, they are blessed rather than cursed (Lk 12:31). Obedience brings the encouragement and strength of the Spirit of God (2:4-5).
In chapter 2, God gives great encouragement to those laboring under difficult conditions to rebuild his temple by assuring them that the future glory of the modest temple they are able to build will be greater than that of the temple Solomon had built in the time of Israel’s greatest wealth and power.
The Jews in Judah may now be a much-reduced community and under the hegemony of a powerful world empire, but the Lord will shake up the present world order and assert his claim to all the world’s wealth so that the glory of his future temple will be without rival. “The desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory” (see 2:6-7).
Apart from Obadiah, Haggai is the shortest book in the Old Testament, but its teachings are nonetheless significant. Haggai clearly shows the consequences of disobedience (1:6,11; 2:16-17) and obedience (2:7-9,19). When the people give priority to God and his house, they are blessed rather than cursed (Lk 12:31). Obedience brings the encouragement and strength of the Spirit of God (2:4-5).
The Davidic line from Jeconiah had been cursed by Jeremiah, saying that no offspring of “Coniah” would sit on the throne (Jeremiah 22:30). However, Zerubbabel was of the main Davidic line through Solomon and Jeconiah. The prophets Zechariah and Haggai both give unclear statements regarding Zerubbabel’s authority in their oracles, in which Zerubbabel was either the subject of a false prophecy or the receiver of a divine promotion to kingship.
He could also be viewed as a governor of a state within another nation and thus technically “not on the throne” of a nation. Either way, he was given the task of rebuilding the Temple in the second year of the reign of Darius I, along with the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak.
Meshullam, the son of Zerubbabel, succeeded him as Exilarch and was followed by another son Hananiah. His other sons were Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed (1 Chronicles 3:20). He also had a daughter called Shelomith (1 Chronicles 3:19). Zerubbabel may have had a Babylonian-style name because of his interaction with the Babylonian court.
Sheshbazzar; The book of Ezra begins with Cyrus the Great entrusting the Temple vessels to Sheshbazzar; this apparently important figure disappears from the story entirely after being named in Ezra 1:8 and Ezra 5:14, and Zerubbabel is abruptly introduced as the main figure. Both are called governors of Judah and are both credited with laying the foundation of the Temple.
Haggai 1:4: “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”
Haggai 1:5-6: “Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.'”
Haggai 1:13: Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with you,” declares the Lord.
Haggai 2:5: “As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!”
Haggai 2:9: “‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty.”
The Second Temple, also known in its later years as Herod’s Temple, was the reconstructed Jewish holy temple that stood on the Temple Mount in the city of Jerusalem. It replaced the First Temple (built at the same location during Solomon‘s reign over the United Kingdom of Israel) that had been destroyed by the Neo-Babylonian Empire during its conquest of the Kingdom of Judah.
The fallen Jewish kingdom was subsequently annexed as a Babylonian province and part of its populace was held captive in Babylon. Construction on the Second Temple began sometime after the conquest of Babylon by the Achaemenid Persian Empire, following a proclamation by the Persian king Cyrus the Great that enabled the Jewish return to Zion. The completion of the Second Temple in the new Achaemenid province of Yehud marked the beginning of the Second Temple period in Jewish history.
According to the Bible, the Second Temple was originally a rather modest structure constructed by a number of Jewish returnees to the Levant from Babylon under the Achaemenid-appointed governor Zerubbabel. However, during the reign of Herod the Great over the Herodian Kingdom of Judea, it was completely refurbished and the original structure was totally overhauled into the large edifices and façades that are more recognized in modern recreated models.
The Book of Haggai includes a prediction that the glory of the Second Temple would be greater than that of the first. Some of the original artifacts from the Temple of Solomon are not mentioned in the sources after its destruction and are presumed lost. The Second Temple lacked the following holy articles:
- The Ark of the Covenant containing the Tablets of Stone, before which were placed the pot of manna and Aaron’s rod
- The Urim and Thummim (divination objects contained in the Hoshen)
- The holy oil
- The sacred fire
In the Second Temple, the Holy of Holies (Kodesh Hakodashim) was separated by curtains rather than a wall as in the First Temple. Still, as in the Tabernacle, the Second Temple included:
- The Menorah (golden lamp) for the Hekhal
- The Table of Showbread
- The golden altar of incense, with golden censers
The Second Temple also included many of the original vessels of gold that had been taken by the Babylonians but restored by Cyrus the Great. According to the Babylonian Talmud however, the Temple lacked the Shekhinah (the dwelling or settling divine presence of God) and the Ruach HaKodesh (holy spirit) present in the First Temple.
The main theme in the Book of Haggai is that the people had been blessed, but in their blessing had forgotten God. It does not make sense to us that we will actually gain from putting something else first. In our natural logic, ‘looking out for number one’ is what gets us the best result, but that is the opposite of what we read in Haggai.
Haggai explains to us that although God’s math sometimes doesn’t make sense to us, the reality is that the more we trust in God the more blessed we will become. In Haggai, we learn “the best news in the world is that God’s ultimate aim to be glorified and man’s aim to be satisfied are not at odds.”
The failure to complete the temple (1:1-15): Haggai accuses the people of not finishing the work they began, and this accusation prompts them to return to work on the Temple. This is also documented in Ezra 5:1-2.
The new temple is not as glorious as the first (2:1-9): In chapter two, the first temple was considered a wonder of the ancient world, so it is no surprise that within a few short weeks the people become discouraged that the new temple would fall short of the glory that was Solomon’s temple. Haggai encourages them that the glory of this temple will actually surpass the glory of the former temple through its key role in God’s future plans.
The blessings of obedience (2:10-19): The people of Israel are making themselves impure, so whatever they build will be impure as well. Haggai reminds them that only by true confession and repentance will they find success and peace.
A future hope (2:20-23): Haggai assures the people that God has not forgotten His promises to them, and he will overthrow the disobedient nations, and restore the Davidic Kingdom.
The prophet Haggai urges those who have returned from Babylonian exile, including Joshua the high priest, and Zerubbabel the governor, to rebuild the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem. Haggai blames their lack of prosperity on the fact that the temple still lies in ruins while they themselves live in paneled houses.
The people are moved by Haggai’s prophecy to start rebuilding the temple. Through Haggai, the Lord promises to be with the people and to make this second temple greater than the first. Haggai’s book ends with a prophecy for Zerubbabel, a descendant of David. When the Lord defeats the nations, Zerubbabel will become like a “signet ring” on God’s hand; he will be the Lord’s chosen ruler
Haggai 1: Through Haggai, the Lord chastises the people for caring more about the condition of their own homes than that of the Lord’s temple. He explains that their poor crop conditions are a result of their failure to rebuild the temple. He exhorts them to renew their efforts in building the temple.
Haggai 2: The Lord commands Haggai to speak to the people and exhort them to be strong as they rebuild the temple. He prophesies that the Messiah will come to his temple and bring peace.
