783,137 words in the kjv bible ?
Well, it took astronomers centuries to debate about the #center of the #universe, and it appears like it really is not that simple to determine the #center verse of the #Bible.
I’m certainly not going to bother counting!
The Centre of the Bible
https://truebibleteaching.com/index.php/the-centre-of-the-bible/
The truth is there are 31,102 verses in the King James Bible. Therefore there is no single middle verse. You cannot have a middle verse with an even number of verses. However there are two middle verses. These would be verses 15,551 and 15,552 (Psalms 103:1-2.)
PSALM 103:1-2
BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
These are the middle two verses of the King James Bible. Both verses start with “Bless the LORD, O my soul”. Verse 1 continues – and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Verse 2 concludes with – and forget not all his benefits. These are powerful words coming from the two center verses of the Book.
Now let’s count the words in these two middle verses. There are twenty-eight. That’s seven quadrupled (7 times 4) instead of seven doubled (7 times 2.) Here we have seven compounded twice as much.
Now let’s see if we can find some middle words in the center of God’s middle verses. Yes, I see four (bless his holy name.) There are twelve words on one side of this phrase and twelve words on the other side. So the King James Bible has bless his holy name right in the center of the two middle verses!
This phrase also has exactly twice as many words (12) on each side of it. God loves the number twelve also. Next to the number seven, it is his favorite number. He uses it a lot in his word. For example there were twelve apostles and twelve tribes of Israel. There are twelve manner of fruits bared by the tree of life. It is the number of authority and power. What else would you expect in the center of God’s Holy Bible? Bless his holy name.
PSALM 138:2…I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

The Bible contains 31,102 verses (KJV). Because this total is an even number, there is no exact middle verse. Instead, two verses meet in the middle: Psalm 103:1–2. There are 15,500 verses before these two verses and 15,500 after them.
Sometimes, Psalm 118:8 is mistakenly referred to as the middle verse of the Bible. This verse says, "It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man." This is a great reminder. But, if you are playing a Bible trivia game, it is not the correct answer to the question of What is the middle verse of the Bible?
The middle chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117, but since chapters have varying numbers of verses, the middle verses do not fall in the middle chapter.
The 21st verse, ch. VII of #Ezra, has all the letters of the #alphabet.
