I think I spend too much effort trying to reveal God's perfectly numbered Bible and don't spend near enough effort explaining how the Bible's numbers are a type of key to understanding the scriptures. One of the many patterns I write about in the Bible's numbers are the 31 sections of 1000 verses. As incomprehensible as it seems, there is great evidence that every 1000th verse in scripture are what I call transition verses. There are 31,102 verses in the King James so there are 31 sections that break on 1000 verse boundaries. These transition verses reveal great changes in what I refer to as themes or subject matter in the text. I'm sure Bible scholars will have the correct terms for these transitions once they understand them so I'll just provide a couple of examples of them below (more are shown in my book). You can use my online numbered Bible to examine and validate the numbering for yourself.
These are just some of the most obvious transition verses. Even if you don't agree with the premise I make, the examples hopefully will demonstrate what I'm trying to explain...
If you look at all the Bible's 31 transition points you will find key verses at every location.
The 24,000th verse relates to "The Day of the Lord" and immediately follows what appears to be a "catching up" of God's faithful. I suspect this sequence of events that takes place in the 23,998th through 24,000th verse is telling us that a catching up happens immediately prior to the "Day of the Lord". I'm not going to guess what "immediately" means and will let others more skilled in Bible prophecy than I debate the possibilities.
Below is an image from a page of my online numbered Bible. The verses at this 24,000th transition verse are shown with the first number being the verse's cross Bible verse number. Look at the 23,998th and 23,999th verses to see how Jesus seems to be telling us what happens before this incredible day. (999 being a number of last things before the end of something). FYI...the numbers following the cross Bible verse numbers below are the cross book verse number and the cross New Testament verse numbers - which also have significance in the DNA like Bible numbering.

These are just some of the most obvious transition verses. Even if you don't agree with the premise I make, the examples hopefully will demonstrate what I'm trying to explain...
- 2000th - Exo 17:16 "the LORD will have war against Amalek generation to generation...exact verse of Israel winning the battle against Amalek. A new chapter in Israel's history begins.
- 4000th - Num 10:11 in the 2nd year, 2nd month, 20th he month, the cloud lifted...Israel's wilderness wandering of 40 years begins on this exact 4,000th verse. #4, 40, 400 relate to times of purification and testing. I could not comprehend this 4000th verse to be coincidence.
- 5000th - Deu 3:24 'O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness...Israel about to enter promised land but Moses not allowed due to his disobedience. The point in scripture at the end of Moses life...
- 6000th - Josh 7:23 ...they poured them out before the LORD #6 is related to sin and redemption and in this 6000th verse Israel's sin of keeping items under the ban is exposed.
- 9000th - 1Kings 8:14 the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel...In this 9000th verse location, the Lord God had just entered the temple built by Solomon and "The King turned towards the people". I suspect this is a picture of Jesus future return where he enters the temple and then appears before the people.
- 10,000th - 2Kin 17:16 They forsook all the commandments of the LORD & served Baal. #10 is a number of last things and in this 10,000th verse God is done tolerating Israel's sin and declares he is sending Israel away.
- 22,000th - Dan 9:11 "Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside..Another point where God is done with Israel. I believe it is no coincidence this is a 911 related verse. #911 is a God number related to consequences to nations that fall away from him.
- 24,000th - Matt 24:42 be on the alert, you do not know which day your Lord comes... A catching up followed by "The Day of the LORD" (the point of this Blog post...below)
- 31,000th - Rev 18:6 "Pay her back as she has paid..give her back double...A second time when Jesus saves his people just before he is about to bring Justice on the earth
Finally, the point of this Blog post -- When you understand how the Bible's numbers relate symbolically to the text, then the numbers can be an incredible guide to interpretation. The relationship of the 24,000th transition verse immediately following a "catching up" seems an impossible coincidence. I think some Bible prophecy is clarified here at the 24,000th Bible verse...
The 24,000th verse relates to "The Day of the Lord" and immediately follows what appears to be a "catching up" of God's faithful.

I'm not going to guess what "immediately" means and will let others more skilled in Bible prophecy than I debate the possibilities.

Don't dismiss this compelling evidence of the Bible's perfection too quickly...
I encourage you to ponder the examples I give here as I believe the Bible's 31 transition verses may be the most compelling evidence of the perfectly numbered Bible I can demonstrate. Why...because I could not contrive such coincidences by making up these number/text relationships.
