Center Of The Bible

Did you know . . .
1) Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible?

2) Psalm 117, before Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter in the Bible?

3) Psalm 119, after Psalm 118 is the longest chapter in the Bible?

4) The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118?

5) If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters?

6) 1188 or Psalm 118 verse 8 is the middle verse of the entire Bible?

Should the central verse not have a fairly important message? "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." - Psalm 118:8

Is this central verse not also the central theme of the entire Bible? This is not a coincidence. God is in complete control.

I wonder what happens when you use different numbering systems, different translations, original languages, different manuscripts?

:P

It's not true in KJV or the Douay Rhiems or the New American Bible... etc...

Just spam that has been floating around for years.


God Bless,

This is very cool I think, how those three chapters are the very center of the Bible. speaking of which I read part of the longest chapter in the Bible Last Night [b](PSALMS 119: 1-25); I didn't finish it, theres like 176 verses in chapter 119 of PSALMS lol.[/b]

Those are words to live by no matter where they are in the Bible.
The fact that they are centrally located means simply that they are centrally located, where all else should be built around it.

He is our foundation. Our refuge is with Him.

So Sweet.
Thanks.

Peace.
