Mark 13:13 "You will be hated by all because of My name" ... Patterns in Biblical numbers...

The Bible's 13:13 verses reveal #13 is about men following their own ways and not comprehending God's ways...

I've been writing about the meaning of numbers in the Bible for more than 10 years and I still struggle when I set out to explain that even the numbering of chapter and verses has divine perfection. It is an incredibly impossible statement to believe --- that is, until the preponderance of evidence finally convinces you it cannot be coincidence. Here's another set of compelling evidences that demonstrate the Bible's numbers have a consistent theme and pattern to them and the text they are associated with.

As I've noted in prior posts, themes found in the text of any verse has relationship to its numbering.  The best examples of numbers and their related themes are found in what I refer to as the Bible's hyperverses where a verse's chapter and verse numbers are the same. What I observe seems to demonstrate that when the same number is repeated in relationship to a verse's numbering or numbers in the text, then the theme of that number comes out more strongly in the text. Thus, verses with the same chapter and verse number are great examples to use to determine the God given symbolism of numbers.

In the following examples, I show how the theme running through the Bible's 13:13 verses relate to symbolism/themes of; confusion, misunderstanding, foolishness or different types of turning from God and living in the ways of men. Below are 20 of the Bible's 30 verses with both a chapter and verse number of 13 -- Observe how they so consistently reveal this theme. I've left out 10 of these 13:13 verses to help focus on the most obvious examples, but if you examine even those 10 carefully, the same theme will emerge. This theme is also revealed to various degrees in other parts of scripture related to 13. Look at chapter number 13s as well as verses with thirteen in the text for more support of this theme. One of my most favorite places to confirm my comprehension of number symbolism is to look at the nnth thousanth verses of the Bible (31 in total) and the 13,000th Bible verse is no disappointment -- Job 6:21 says "Indeed, you have now become such, You see a terror and are afraid". The same theme of confusion, foolishness, wickedness surfaces in this 13,000th verse.

Observe for yourself...

Observe the underlined text in the following 13:13 verse examples and take your time to ponder if this consistency of theme is a curious example of coincidence, or if it might be evidence right before your eyes that God Almighty alone could be the only explanation for this numbering perfection...
