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.

If you are curious about the #middle #words, let’s get it right. The numbers below are from the King James Bible.

Middle Books

There are 66 books which means there is no middle book of the Bible. Micah and Nahum are the 33rd and 34th book respectively.

What does this mean about Micah and Nahum? Nothing.

Middle Chapter

There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible. The middle chapter is the 595th chapter which is Psalm 117.

What does this mean about Psalm 117? Nothing. It is divinely inspired the same as every other chapter. Psalm 117 is in the context of the Bible talking about Israel’s kingdom.

Middle Verses

There are 31,102 verses in the Bible. There is no middle verse, but Psalm 103:1-2 are the 15,551st and 15,552nd verses, respectively.

Does this add any more meaning to Psalm 103:1-2 that we didn’t already know? No, it doesn’t.

Middle Words

The middle word of the Bible is either “in”, “that”, “thou”, “of”, or “awake” depending on if you include the superscriptions in the Psalms and the epistle postscripts.

There are 789,629 words in the Bible without any of those extras. The 394,815th word in the Bible is found in Psalm 59:3. It is “in”.
https://graceambassadors.com/tips/the-middle-book-chapter-verse-in-the-bible

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.

#Netanyahu: "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy #Bible"

📖 1 Samuel 15:3

🔶️ "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass"

This freaking #charlatan knows how to talk to religious nutters in àUS and around the world by using the barbaric language of the bible to justify his criminal actions.

Israeli Prime-Minister Benjamin Netanyahu We are the people of light, they are the people of darkness... We will fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah

Prophecy of Isaiah:
"Light to the nations" - אוֹר לַגּוֹיִים - ʾŌr laGōyyīm

Nations being Goyim here. Isaiah 49 is specifically about enslaving the Goyim.

#Netanyahu depicts himself as the #Messianic King:

Isaiah's prophecies, found in the Book of #Isaiah in the #Hebrew #Bible, often depict the restoration of Israel and the coming of a Messianic King.

Some Zionists, advocating for the re-establishment and support of a Jewish state in Israel, see their movement as a fulfillment of these prophecies.

They may work toward this by supporting Jewish immigration to Israel and political and financial support for the state.

There is also Zionist Israelis who believe in the State of the "promised land" will be from the Eufrat river to the sea, including all that is now Syria, Jordan, Iraq and parts of Lebanon and Egypt.

Bible Gateway passage: Isaiah 49 - New International Version

The Servant of the LORD - Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me;...

A #camel reacts before being #sacrificed in honor of those who died during the revolution overthrowing Moammar #Gaddafi, during a gathering at the main square in #Tripoli, #Libya on Sept. 29, 2011.

#Animal sacrifice is older than #history. #Human #beings have #slaughtered #birds and #livestock throughout the ages in attempt to propitiate the #gods—to alter fate, to enhance fortune, to pay for sins.

One of the great hymns of the #Rigveda is that of the #Horse #Sacrifice, which only a king can perform. The rituals continue to this day, as the photographs in this collection show: in the #Muslim and #Hindu worlds, as well as in #Judaism.

The #first #murder related in the #bible stems from jealousy over sacrifice. #Cain’s sacrifice of vegetables did not please God as much as his brother’s sacrifice of animals—and so Cain slew #Abel.

Of the #world’s great #faiths, #only #Buddhism and #Daoism #eschew #rituals of animal sacrifice, indeed, the taking of any life. Indeed, according to legend, one of the #Buddha’s previous #incarnations gave up his #life to #feed a #hungry #tiger.

The various #Christian #sects and denominations very #rarely #perform animal #sacrifices.

But the very Catholic societies of #Spain and #Latin-America still hold #bullfights, which are descended from pagan animal sacrifices. And, of course, at the heart of #Christianity is a #sacrament that is essentially a human sacrifice.

No one is to blame. I thought of this on my own. Perhaps a great truth behind a biblical tale. There's more going on than our little minds can possibly imagine.

ミ★ Confederate Space Force

After-Action Report: The 160th Anniversary Reenactment of the Battle of Chickamauga

Mrs. Robin and I home schooled both of our children (now grown and with families of their own), and #homeschool American #History classes included attendance at - and then participation in - "Living History" events. These are re-creations of people and events that made American History and whose impact continues to this day.

The article linked below is my "Report of the Chaplain" following this past weekend's amazing re-creation of the three-day Battle of Chickamauga. This was the last Confederate victory before the rape of the South by General Sherman which devastated much of Georgia but helped bring the War Between the States to an end. Written from the point of view of a Confederate soldier, and with heavy emphasis on the spiritual aspects of that terrible war, I hope readers find it informative and inspiring:
