Three discoveries about Luther’s 95 theses
 

Frank Jakubowsky made three amazing discoveries about Martin Luther’s 95 theses. The 95 theses were written in the counterclockwise, and clockwise, and number patterns. Those three patterns were described after finding those patterns in Jesus parables.

The counterclockwise pattern is the pattern as Luther himself numbered his 95 theses. It has an extra part that I call "self" which is between the part of action and the part of enlighten. It is written in a cycle of eleven parts.

The clockwise pattern is a grouping of a few theses. It is one and a half cycles with ten parts. For example, theses 82 through 89 end with a question mark. These eight theses were assigned to the part of communication. In Jesus parables the question mark occurred 55 times in the communication part out of a total of 184. Also theses 42 through theses 51, the theses starts with: "Christians should be taught" nine times. Those were assigned to the inadequacy part.

The number pattern divides the parts into short phrases. It is in a cycle of ten parts. It has 25 cycles, 250 parts. The sequence of the number pattern is: spiritual, fruitful, action, enlighten, communication, reject, sociable, inadequacy, expansive, authoritative.

According to my count the 95 theses word count was 2,547 words, with a vocabulary of 665 words. Word counts on the three tests yield positive results. Matching the individual words for the three tests got 215 correct matches. The chance expected value is 187.

In the statistics test I marked with an asterisk those words I believe related to the part assigned. Since the vocabulary was 665 words and the chance is one in ten, then 66 words would be expected. But there is an overlap of meanings of the ten parts, so it isn’t a scientific test. These are the number I marked for the three tests: counterclockwise-132; clockwise-151; number-193. It does show that the number pattern yields more words that match the quality of the key word for the part.

For counterclockwise and number pattern I highlighted words that I believe indicates the quality for its part. That gives evidence for the individual part relating to the key word.

Since the sequence for the three tests are exact and the chance is one in ten, then the probability is astronomical. For the number test there is 250 correct matches. That is like guessing the correct sequence of serial numbers on a couple dozen of dollar bills.
