About the Developer

I'm Wade Balzer — a Tulsa native, programmer, VFX artist, producer, screenwriter, musician, TARDIS owner, minister, and a dad.

Born in 1969 in the heart of downtown Tulsa, I grew up in Broken Arrow and was raised in a Mennonite home... not Amish. It was more modern... similar to a Baptist. I accepted Christ at the age of 5, baptized as a teenager, but even at a young age, I was drawn to understanding the Bible and had a passion for creativity. Art, music, and band were my life outside of church. Just before my senior year of high school, I sought to be filled with the Holy Spirit because of a deeper hunger for God.

I was married for 16 years and had five children, but in 2005, I was blindsided by a treacherous divorce that shattered my family and left me estranged from my kids. It was a devastating blow, but I chose to forgive and seek healing through the church family. It was a dark season, but it was at this time that I began noticing numbers. They weren't saying words that I understood, but they would catch my attention like a flicker of light. It was almost frustrating because I would recognize the hand of God in the orchestration, but it was silence except for the numbers. I was familiar with E.W. Bullinger's book, Number in Scripture, but the numbers I was noticing weren't in there. I was aware of Jewish mysticism and the Kabbalah, but I had no interest in any of that. I wanted true answers... not from mysticism or new age... just God.

The Encounter

On October 23, 2006, while I was at work pondering all of my experiences, I was drawn into Scripture, and as I was reading, I heard a voice. It wasn't audible, but it was clearly an otherly voice distinct from my own thoughts. I freaked out, not because I thought it was God… I had a VOICE in my head speaking to me that was foreign and contrary to everything I believed God would say to me. I didn’t believe God would pick me for anything, because I failed at everything. I’m the last person God should trust. At that point, I resolved that I was either speaking to a Satanic entity masquerading as an “angel of light,” or I had just suffered a mental breakdown of my own conscience because I could no longer determine what were my own thoughts from a mental illness of possible schizophrenia. It was extremely scary. As I argued to try and determine if the voice was an angel of light or the onset of mental illness, I held up an argument why I could not be a person in ministry, and the number I had been seeing for several months popped back in my mind, but this time with a book, directing me to a book of the Bible with that chapter and verse, and it was a direct answer to my objection.

That answer took me by surprise, but it begged another question. Like the first, the answer came in the form of a different book, with the same chapter and verse, and it was a direct answer to that question. I asked another question, and the same thing happened... different book, same chapter and verse, and it was a direct answer to that question. It was as though I was having a conversation with the Author of the Book who knew me so well that He arranged time and history and Scripture to answer the objections to what He had planned to reveal to me during the conversation. This seemed like TOP SECRET, never to be repeated... not because I couldn't, but because I had no tangible evidence that anything I heard was in Scripture.

God never gave me directions to build a website or start a ministry. I had acquired NewJerusalem.org in the 1990s because it was available, and I thought it would be a cool domain name even though I knew nothing about web design or web programming. But the encounter with God in 2006 was the beginning of a journey of discovering the "backside" of Scripture. Armed with resources like BlueLetterBible.org, a spreadsheet, and a calculator, I began unlocking the hidden treasures of Scripture just waiting for someone to discover. It was rewarding, but tedious. Finally, in 2009, after gaining competence in web design and programming, I transformed NewJerusalem.org into a search engine that allowed anyone to search the Bible by its structure and easily uncover the same hidden treasures that I was finding.

While I get labeled as a "numbers guy", I'm really not. That would be like calling a home builder a "tape measure guy" assuming they have a fascination with tape measures and ignoring the fact that a home is being built to spec. Numbers are a utility to the end goal, not the goal itself. We are told in Revelation 13:18,...

Let's pause right there. The goal isn't about figuring out who the "Antichrist" is, but rather to gain understanding first. That is called wisdom. You can't know what the counterfeit is until your understanding has a tangible grasp on the real thing.

World Traveler

Did I mention that I owned a TARDIS? — Shhhh!!!

In November 2024, I began a journey over the next year of traveling to the 7 continents, beginning a trip to Saudi Arabia to see the real Mt. Sinai, Elijah's Cave, the Split Rock of Horeb, and the Red Sea Crossing site. We took the scenic route there and back, stopping first in Dubai, and afterward in Egypt, then London, and Iceland, before returning home.

In January 2025, the journey to Antarctica took me through Argentina in South America. In August 2025, I helped a brother from Canada out by splitting the cost of a cruise from Iceland to Norway to Netherlands, Belgium, Southampton, Stonehenge, back to London, then Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria, back to Zurich, then home.

In October 2025, I went with an evangelist from my church to the Philippines for a ministry opportunity, taking the scenic route through Melbourne, Australia for my seventh continent before flying to Cleveland, Ohio for a conference that I was playing keys at, before heading home. — Whew!!!

Funny, but the structure of the Bible has an unusual picture...
