Why Did God Rest On The Seventh Day



Why Did God Rest On The Seventh Day?
"..., does God get tired"?

Here is the biblical evidence
God Himself answers the question
Genesis 2:2

So, what's going on? As you can see the Hebrew text is intact - letter by letter. Yet running right down the center of this one, simple, verse in the creation story, is God's Own encrypted answer to the question, "Why did God Rest on the Seventh Day?"
It is the phrase, "... and I was weary".



All that was done was to 'see' this amazing teaching was 'box aligning' the text rather than presenting it in the 'usual' layout. Pretty incredible isn't it? So now we ask , 'is this a legitimate thing to do - that is, to box align the text?' Is this a proper way to handle scripture?

The only way to answer this question is to define what we mean when use the word legitimate. I think all would agree that it is perfectly fine to box align the text if God Himself deliberately encrypted the phrase into the text; so that, only by handling the text in this manner does the teaching (which is actually a new revelation) emerge. In other words, if God put this revelation in the text and we observe it at this moment in time, He obviously wants us to 'see what is there'.
But
How can we determine is God encrypted this phrase into the tex vs. the phrase showing up just accidentally , by random chance?
The solution to this problem is not as difficult as it may seem. All we have to do is to rule out any possibility that random chance had anything to do with this phrase being found in the text.
If you know how to do basic probabilities you'll know this information is correct.
The probability that the letters which comprise the phrase translated as, 'and i was weary' just accidently existing, neatly stacked one upon the other by pure coincidence is one chance in 5,153,632 against! Now, to find this phrase in a text which speaks of God being tired and thus begging the question 'can God tire?' pushes the probability of chance luck having any thing to do with it well out past infinity.
So the conclusion is this: God Most certainly did insert this phrase into the text.
God in some impossible to understand manner does and did tire. In fact the Hebrew phrase implies tiring to the point of utter exhaustion.
The theological implications of this are astounding! God Himself settles a question sages and theologians have been arguing about for millennia. God indeed did 'rest'. Also it mathematically proves the existence of God since the finding of a legitimate encryption proves the existence of an encryptor.
