We simply cannot imagine how it is possible that like referenced Bible verses could have a similar theme running through them, but the evidence declares the possibility and as we ponder it. The facts demonstrating this overwhelm our "knowing" it cannot be. Just because, today was September 30th, I decided to randomly use the month and day reference to see of there was more clear evidence of like themes running through equally numbered verses. There is...I never cease to be amazed at the numerical perfection of God's Word. This post shows a compelling pattern found in the Bible's 9:30 verse text.
I've long realized that #39/#93 is strongly related to Israel and the Jews - watch sets of any 9/3 numbered parts of the Bible and you will observe this relationship. A couple of very fascinating examples are; #1 -- the 39 books of the Old Testament -- these books show Jesus is the messiah, but it is not until the 40th book of Matthew that this is clearly explained. Matthew chapter one is declaration to the Jews that Jesus is their LORD. Example #2 -- To make this #39/#93 example even more compelling, note that Matthew chapter 1 is the 930th (93/39) chapter of the Bible. The 930th chapter of the Bible immediately follows the 929 last chapter of the Old Testament - the last chapter of the 39 books of the Old Testament. I suspect this #39 symbolic association is also related to being in the wilderness 39 "periods/years" and not having quite reached the end of the many times #40 in the Bible is found associated with periods of testing/preparation for knowing God. There's lots more examples of this relationship between the Jews/Israel and #93/39 - you will find some of them in my other blog posts.
More evidence for this #39/#93 relationship - There are just 14 "9:30" verses in the Bible and they all clearly reveal a theme pointing to the Jews knowing, or not knowing, Jesus is LORD. I've rearranged these fourteen verses (out of book order) in a table below so you can evaluate these verses for yourself and observe how clearly this theme appears. As you ponder them -- if you are tempted to dismiss these examples as coincidence, consider that you can find like themes in any chapter verse combination in the Bible -- they are not all so obvious, but if you study them, you can confirm this for any example chapter/verse reference you chose.
Another interesting observation -- Another evidence these verses do in fact refer to Jesus being LORD is the 14 occurances of them in the Bible. #14 is the number for Jesus the King and Redeemer -- the Passover Lamb. See chapter number 14s in the Bible, such as Revelation 14, for good examples of this.
Let these examples penetrate your thinking and enjoy the new total amazement you can realize about the Mighty God we serve...how only a supernatural God could have configured the Bible in this way.
| 1-14 of Bible's 9:30 verses | Explanation | |
| 1 | Exo 9:30 "But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God." | A #93 reference to Israel not "knowing" who the LORD is. |
| 2 | Neh 9:30 "However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. | A #93 reference to Israel not "knowing" who the LORD is. |
| 3 | Matt 9:30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about this!" | They realized Jesus was the LORD God. (same theme as same ref in the next chapter. |
| 4 | Mrk 9:30 From there they went out and {began} to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it. | Same chapter and verse (9:30) as the previous chapter and again, the same theme is found,,,They realized Jesus was the LORD God. |
| 5 | John 9:30 The man answered and said to them, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and {yet} He opened my eyes. | The 3rd of 4 gospel 9:30 verses that refers to them not knowing who Jesus is. (see Matthew, Mark 9:30) |
| 6 | Est 9:30 He sent letters to all the Jews, to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, namely, words of peace and truth, | Here again, the verse speaks of the Jews needing to be informed about the king. Bible patterns so often show numbers in the text relate to other reference numbers -- note that c9 x v3. = 27 (127). I strongly suspect this is by design. |
| 7 | Act 9:30 But when the brethren learned of it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. | Again, a 9:30 verse very consistently speaks of knowing about who the man was. |
| 8 | 2Kin 9:30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window. | When Jezebel learned about "the King" she prepared herself... |
| 9 | Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; | ...not as obvious a "knowing" reference but if you ponder the verse, you can sense the related theme |
| 10 | Luke 9:30 And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, | A bit more disguised, but in this verse God was showing Peter, James & John that Jesus is God. They "knew it" when they saw this. |
| 11 | Judg 9:30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned. | Here again, the theme of learning/knowing a fact is related to the 9:30 theme. |
| 12 | 1Chr 9:30 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices. | A bit less obvious, but seems related to a similar theme of 2Kings 9:30 where Jezebel prepared to come before the king. |
| 13 | 2Chr 9:30 Solomon reigned forty years in Jerusalem over all Israel. | You will have to the related theme for yourself. Don't dismiss all the other examples for a couple you cannot figure out. We can see God's patterns but I don't think we can ever hope to fully understand their complexity. |
| 14 | Job 9:30 "If I should wash myself with snow And cleanse my hands with lye, | See reference above, but also seems a similar reference to 2Kings 9:30 where Jezebel was preparing herself to come before the King. |
