The Bible is divinely numbered by book, chapter and verse. What if your mind just can't believe the evidence? Cognitive Dissonance

Don't know what to think about numerical patterns in the Bible?

Be aware that our minds sometimes can't accept what it does not believe is possible. It makes no scientific sense and literally seems impossible that God could have numbered the Bible. But the evidence loudly declares the Bible is perfectly written and numbered in an amazing DNA like way.

The number patterns could not be coincidental, nor could they be the work of men. But they exist. The only explanation for this is that we must question our belief that the Bible is the product of men.

Cognitive Bias, Normalcy Bias, Cognitive Dissonance and other psychological studies explain to us how our minds can get stuck and prevented from taking in proven truths.

How to Overcome our Biases?

What to do about this bias we may observe in ourselves? Seek more evidence for truth that either confirms or denies the evidences. If the evidence keeps pointing to what you can't believe, keep seeking to understand what's going on by looking at more examples.

After I discovered the evidences that God numbered the Bible, it still took me two years of intense study to finally convince my mind the impossible was true. I could stop doubting myself  -- God had numbered the Bible.

Hopefully I present enough solid evidence in these pages to greatly shorten your personal discovery of this truth.

The Mystery and Wonder of God's Chapter and Verse Numbering (5:30 verses)

Throughout this blog I write about the incredible discoveries you can make by paying attention to the Bible's Book, Chapter and Verse numbering. They all have meaning....

Notice how Bible verses with the same chapter and verse contain common themes...Even across the Old and New Testaments...

You can read about this in many other posts. Today I just wanted to provide some amazing verse examples to demonstrate the absolute perfection in the Bible's Numbering.

There are just 13 verses in the Bible with chapter and verse reference of 5:30. I've listed them below and highlighted some of their text demonstraing a common theme running throughout them. Number thirty has a symbolic meaning related to holiness, righteousness and purity. Number five is related to covenents, teachings, commands by God and consequences for following them, or not following them (see 5th Bible book of Deuteronomy). Put the numbers together and you should find verse text related somehow to these two themes. Be aware, many different numbers are associated with each Bible verse so don't expect the verse text to match the theme fully, but rather to have some of it's contents that relates to the theme.

See if the verses below reveal to you this theme of righteousness and consequences related to following or not following God's instructions:

Num 5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

Deu 5:30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

Judg 5:30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

Isa 5:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Jer 5:30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

Dan 5:30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

Matt 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Mrk 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

Luke 5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

 If you see this pattern across verses of both the Old and New Testaments, what does it tell you?

• There is some divine inspiration to numbering
• The same pattern to numbering is used for both testaments so they likely have the same author.
• How does the text happen to line up this way. The books were written thousands of years apart? Suggests the numbers were actually assigned by God when he created the text.
• If this pattern applies here, it should apply to all like referenced verses
• Numbers have meaning and line up with the text. Thus, they can be used to help interpret verse text.
• Regarding interpretation, What does the theme found in the 5:30 verses suggest about the text in Ephesians 5:30. It is something to think about.

Be amazed and in awe of our God and His Holy Word! It is incredible beyond our comprehension. Trust it is a creation of God and not of men.

Want to know more about the Bible's Perfection. See...
(THE BIBLE'S REDEMPTION PATTERN AND NUMERIC MAP – AMAZON: http://a.co/7saGkXd). In the last column, I’ve included (blue font) my interpretation of how the verse text seems to fit with the corresponding 1-22 number symbolism.

#24 and "The Day of the Lord" is foretold; what happens that day; Jews recognize Jesus?

I often write about how Biblical number patterns help us to understand the scriptures (see other blog posts) and this article again helps us to see the scripture's perfection and consistency in numbering as well as helping us understand the meaning in the related text. This article focuses on The Day of the LORD which is the Bible's way of warning us of Jesus promise to one day return to judge. This day is associated with #24 in the Bible and we will see this number also relating to the verses with chapter and verse of 1:14. Evidence of the symbolism of twenty-four can be seen in Matthew "24:42" which is the 24,000th Bible verse (KJV, NIV, NASB..) that warns us to keep watch for the "Day of the LORD". The chapter and verse reference as well as the reference to this specific day in the text provides pretty compelling evidence of God's intended symbolism of number 24 to this day of Judgment...

Matt 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. (24,000th Bible verse)

The pattern of #14, #24 and chapter and verse reference 1:14

Biblical number patterns show every chapter and verse number has meaning and also that the combination of them also has related meaning and the text of every verse helps demonstrate that related symbolism. Bible numerics show that #14 is related to Jesus, King and Redeemer  (for example, Rev 14:14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand). A combined chapter and verse of 1:14 appears to also represent the symbolism of #24 (1+1 and 4). Even if you are doubtful regarding the chapter and verse number meaning, you can also see the perfection in Bible numbering by considering the consistency of symbolism with the Bible's chapter #1 verse #14 verses.

When looked at as a set, the Bible's 1:14 verses give us an understanding of things that will happen on the coming Day of the Lord (see 1:14 of Zep, Oba, Amo, 2The, 2Cor for Day of the Lord references). As I look at them I see; The Day of the Lord foretold; a picture of the day itself; and how Jesus comes to live on earth as these events unfold. Examine the pattern of 1:14 verses yourself to draw your own conclusion. If you take the time to look them up, every chapter and verse combination in the Bible has a thread of common theme running through them and knowing them is a great help to Biblical interpretation.
