Bible Facts

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. ~ Proverbs 25:2 

There are a total of 1189 chapters in the King James Version of the Bible. The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117 - only two verses. The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119 - 176 verses.

Sandwiched between the shortest and longest chapters of the Bible is Psalm 118. There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118 making it the Center Chapter of the Bible. 594 + 594 = 1188 chapters. Now place a semi-colon between 118:8 and it creates the center verse in the Bible - Psalm 118:8

Grab your Bible and read what the LORD God placed in the center of the Bible so you would find it hiding in plain sight.

When the translators and publishers numbered the chapters and verses of the Bible, what are the odds of Psalm 118 would be the center chapter of the Bible?

To me, this is just another proof that the Bible is an inspired book that no human mind could conceive.

There are three great truths, 1st, There is a Creator God; 2nd, He has spoken to us through the Bible; 3rd, He means what He says.

Numbers in The Bible

 

Meaning of Numbers: The Number 50

The English word "fifty" used for the number 50 is recorded 157 times in 138 King James Bible verses. 151 of these appearances show up in the Old Testament while 6 of them are written in the New Testament.

The number 50 derives its meaning primarily from its relationship to the coming of God's Holy Spirit and to the High Holy day known as Pentecost.

After Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene on Sunday morning, April 7 in 30 A.D., he ascended to the Father in heaven (John 20:17). His ascension, as a type of firstfruit from the dead (Revelation 1:5), occurred on the day God told the Israelites they were to wave a sheaf composed of the firstfruits of their harvest (Leviticus 23:9 - 11). It is on this day that the count of 50 days to the Feast of Pentecost begins.

 

The Catholic Bible has 1330 chapters so the middle verse is different. Psalm 103:1-2 are the middle verses.
