Eighty new chapter divisions discovered in The Holy Bible. New teachings from God's Word

The Numbered Bible - A Strange Idea

If you are unfamiliar with my writings this message will at first seem like it's coming from a well- meaning, but foolish student of God's Word. Fortunately, I don't feel a burden to convince any readers that what I say is true. Instead, I simply point out observations and evidence I believe is impossible to deny and let those who look at it decide the value for themselves. I've never before written about this layer of messages in scripture so I'm pretty sure the discovery will be new to you as well.

Layers in the Bible

We are all aware of sections of the Bible that contain messages within them. The largest section we are all aware of is that each book of the Bible has a message for us. At this level of sections, we have 66 messages for us. Next, we have chapters within books and each chapter has a message for us. That's another 1,189 different sections of scripture we can study. At even deeper levels we can find sections of scripture in chapters and books that have specific message for us. These sections often even cross chapter boundaries.  You might know of more "sections" of scripture that contain messages. But there are more divisions of scripture hidden below the surface and we can be sure they are God given because he as divided them up for us.

If you study scripture for awhile, you will discover that that there are many layers of messages that overlay one another. If you had a way to peel one layer of scripture out of the way, another layer would appear. That is, if you removed all book and chapter divisions from the Bible, you might find entirely different divisions beneath them. In other posts I have explained one layer of 1000-verse divisions that make up 31 different sections of the Holy Bible. This is 31 one-thousand verse sections of the Bible's 31,102 verses. Of course, they are the same verses as before but seeing their new beginning and end points reveals new messages.

See post "The Most-Compelling-Evidence-For a Supernatural Bible" to learn about the Bible's 31, 1000-verse divisions of the Bible.

Of course, no human could write such a book, but over my almost 20 years of pouring over the Bible's patterns, I am 100% convinced these God-defined sections are real. Here, I'll describe a set of message divisions in scripture that are designated by counting every 100th set of verses in the New Testament. I've done the counting for you and below I've provided the first verse of every 100 section of verses in the NT.

7,956 NT Verses Make Up 80 of a New Type of Chapter Divisions

There 7,956 verses in the Holy Bible's New Testament. (BTW, I refer to the Holy Bible to differentiate it from other books in the world that have decided to declare themselves as a bible. There is only one Holy Bible, written by our supernatural God. I use the word supernatural to indicate it was written by an intelligence that is outside our known world/universe.)  These 7,956 verses make up 80 different century-type sections of the NT.

I'm not going to try to explain how each of these sections compose aa separate set of messages to us in scripture. Instead, for this first introduction to them, I invite readers to consider the first verse of each of these divisions as if it was the first verse of a numbered "chapter" level in the Bible. Take a moment to think about how each of these might start their own layer of meaning. Imagine that the first and last verses in a section are bookends to a message. You will find that the first verse or so will often introduce the message in the section. Trying to ignore the messages you already know about these same scriptures, read the section with a open mind to some other aspect of these verses that come together to communicate to us.

Just looking at the first verse of every 100-verse section gives strong evidence these one-hundred verse divisions mark significant break-points in the New Testament.,

For the first look at these sections, I suggest looking at these 100th verses to notice how they most often make a point or create some sort of transition in the scripture text. Often, they point out a significant event where something is happening. Even, without examining the other verses I think you can see that these 100th verses of the New Testament are special. Any very importantly, they are not arbitrary verses I've taken out of scripture. They are common in that they each the first of a 100-verse section of the Bible. God made it that way.

One day, I believe we will all be looking at Bible's that contain many more numbers in them that point out the DNA like complexity of God's Word. Sometimes I wonder if God will not generally reveal them to his people until we are in his kingdom. Can you imagine, when we arrive, the first thing we might be given is a new copy of his Numbered Holy Bible with instructions that our study of scripture has just begun.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 Look at the 100 section verses below to consider them as significant milestones in God's Word.

Not for you today?

I realize this post may represent a new and incomprehensible, if not unbelievable, possibility in God's Word. Never-the-less, I feel it is something I needed to write down for those coming behind me. If it's too wild a thought for you, consider saving it away for some future day when something might prompt you to consider again the possibility.

God Bless you,
Norm
