Bless the LORD O my soul song about Jesus comes from Ps 103:1-2, the exact center of Bible verses

When you sing the song "10,000 Reasons (Bless the LORD)" by Matt Redman you are singing the center verses of the Bible at Psalm 103:1-2. Matt wrote the song from these specific Bible verses and likely did not realize he was using the exact center verses to help us worship the LORD Jesus Christ.

Psa 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, {bless} His holy name.
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;

Is the Bible About Jesus?

If you put the Old Testament and New Testament together you have 31,102 verses in the King James and similarly structured Bibles (NASB, NIV, ESV...). This makes the 15551st and 15552nd verses the exact middle verses and they happen to declare for us to "Bless the LORD". This is one great evidence the Old Testament and New Testament are two parts to a single volume which we call the Bible. These two middle verses show us both halves of the Bible speak to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Want more evidence the KJV bible is about Jesus? Only God could divinely inspire in multiple perfect locations it is about Jesus. Not only do the two center verses of the Bible (Ps 103:1-2) point to the LORD, but the exact center chapter also does the same. Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter of the Bible and the only chapter with just two verses. Not coincidentally, Psalm 117 is the 595th and exact center chapter of the Bible (1189 chapters).

Psa 117:1 Praise the LORD, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples!
Psa 117:2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!

Is the Bible about Jesus? 

See the following Bible verses that together tell us the Bible is about Jesus Christ. It makes sense these above mentioned two centers of God's Word would point to Jesus.

Psa 40:7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
Luke 24:44 Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."
John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
John 5:46 "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.
Rom 1:2 which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Heb 10:7 "THEN I SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.' "

God is Good

Praise God! He has left these two great evidences anyone can confirm for themselves that Jesus is the promised messiah and Son of God. These two middle locations declaring to bless and praise the LORD could not be the center of the Bible had not the Old Testament and New Testament been brought together to form one single Bible we know as God's divinely inspired Word.

Listen to the song....  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWJLy3-iRQo



"10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)"

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes....

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...
Gen 13:13 the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the LORD.

Exo 13:13 every first offspring of a donkey you shall redeem..but if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck

Lev 13:13 the priest shall look, and behold, if the leprosy has covered all his body

Deu 13:13 ..worthless men seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods…

1Sam 13:13 .."You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God…

2Sam 13:13 ...you will be like one of the fools in Israel…

2Chr 13:13 But Jeroboam had set an ambush. Israel was in front and the ambush was behind them.

Prov 13:13 The one who despises the word will be in debt to it..
Isa 13:13 I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken...
Jer 13:13 …"..I am about to fill all the inhabitants…in Jerusalem--with drunkenness!

Eze 13:13 "I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath...a flooding rain and hailstones…

Hos 13:13 The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son

Matt 13:13 "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Mrk 13:13 "You will be hated by all because of My name...

John 13:13 "You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

Act 13:13 Now Paul and his companions put out to sea. But John left them...

Rom 13:13 ..behave properly.. not in carousing, drunkenness...promiscuity, strife…jealousy.

1Cor 13:13 ..faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest is love (The LOVE IS NOT chapter)
Heb 13:13 So, let us go out to Him...bearing His reproach.
Rev 13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.

 Look at other verses in the Bible with like chapter and verse for more confirmation...  A favorite example of mine is the Bible's 14:14 verses that speak to Jesus, the King and Redeemer...

1Kin 14:14 "Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.

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.

Isa 14:14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'

Exo 14:14 "The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent."

John 14:14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do {it.}

Num 14:14 and they will tell {it} to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, for You, O LORD, are seen eye to eye, while Your cloud stands over them; and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
 (27 14:14 verses exist in the KJV and like structured Bibles -- NIV, NASB, ESV...) Gen, Exo, Lev, Num, Deu, Josh, Judg, 1Sam, 2Sam, 1Kin, 2Kin, 1Chr, 2Chr, Job, Prov, Isa, Jer, Eze, Zech, Matt, Mrk, Luke, John, Act, Rom, 1Cor, Rev

Is it possible God even numbered his Word...consider what he has told us...

Jer 32:27 "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?"

Isa 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. 9 "For {as} the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Job 11:7 "Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?

Mrk 10:27 Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

Luke 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God."

Luke 18:27 But He said, "The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."

Gen 18:14 "Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."

Preponderance of symbolic relationship of fifty-three to salvation, being lifted up and being in the presence of the Glory of God


Evidence of the consistency of symbolism related to God’s numbers is found throughout the scriptures; in the text; in chapter numbers; in verse numbers; and in the DNA like perfection of the cross Bible verse and chapter numbering. Watch for these themes whenever you see forms of the number 53 in your Bible reading. As you personally observe the preponderance of the evidence for the symbolism for #53, you will come to become more and more convinced of the unspeakable miracle of the supernatural construction of the Bible.

Patterns in God’s numbers. Number 53 and similar numbers (153, 353…) point to; resurrection; being lifted up; being taken to live with God; God’s house; the inheritance of being lifted up (saved); resurrected and other related meanings. On the negative side, #53 can also point to the opposite of being lifted up/resurrected and be related to being cast down; death; the taking of life.

Fifty-three in scripture text...
A couple of well known scriptural examples related to number 53 are:
  • Salvation -- Psalm 53 which is also the Bible’s 531st chapter - Psa 53:6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion.
  • Resurrection -- The 153 fish lifted up -- John 21:11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. – (no souls were lost)
  • Lifting up to safety -- The dimensions of the ark that lifted up the faithful to safety are found in the Bible's 153rd verse and included 3-5-3 -- Gen 6:15 "This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
  • Elijah being taken up by a whirlwind (lifted to eternal life) The 315th Bible chapter and the 9553rd Bible verse -- 2Kin 2:1 And it came about when the LORD was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven…
  • Appearing before the Glory of God -- The 53rd Bible verse in the 53rd Bible chapter – Abraham on his face before the Glory of God, the burning bush. -- Exo 3:6 He said also, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Verse number fifty-threes...
There are 48 verse number fifty-threes in the Bible. I have included many of them here to show how they also these same themes mentioned above.

 Inheritence - being given rewards of salvation, eternal life with God
 ·         Num 26:53 "Among these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
·         1Kin 8:53 "For You have separated them from all the peoples of the earth as Your inheritance, …
·         Num 33:53 and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
·         Gen 24:53 The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah
·         Num 31:53 The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.
·         1Sam 17:53 The sons of Israel returned…and plundered their camps.
·         Luke 1:53 "HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS; And sent away the rich empty-handed.

 Resurrection - departing from this world, traveling to heaven...·          
·         Matt 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
·         Matt 13:53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there.
·         Luke 9:53 But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. – (House of God)
·          
Going to our home, being restored
          John 7:53 [Everyone went to his home.
·         1Kin 1:53 …he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
·         Mrk 6:53 When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. (like crossing over to heaven?)
·         Psa 78:53 He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies.
·         Eze 16:53 "Nevertheless, I will restore their captivity…and along with them your own captivity,
·          
·         Luke 22:53 "While I was with you daily in the temple
·         Luke 24:53 and were continually in the temple praising God.

#14 Jesus the King and Redeemer - Praise the King! -- 67 Bible verses pointing to the Redeemer of Israel

Patterns of Bible numbers demonstrate, without much doubt, #14 points to the Holy One of Israel...Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords...
