The Number 1000 ...
The number 1000 in God's Word is a number of complete or perfect totality. Number one-hundred is a number of simple totality. Wherever you find number One Thousand in scripture look for it to be associated with things that are completely finished or totally unfinished. People's salvation is often associated with #1000. This can be seen in the one-thousandth chapter of the Holy Bible - John 3. In this chapter we see a confirmation of the perfect solution to the salvation of man...
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Premise...
At the exact location of the 1000th verses of Bible books, there is a consistent pattern where the text reflects a transition in meaning about God saving his people. Only eleven of the sixty-six books contain more than 1000 verses (Gen, Exo, Num, Job, Psa, Isa, Jer, Eze, Matt, Luke, Acts). Noticing these transitions in the messages of scripture, helps point out important events in the Bible that might otherwise go unnoticed. God has intentionally used book, chapter and verse numbering to help us interpret the text.
Worth Mentioning: Many everyday readers of the Bible quickly dismiss wanting to learn about the Bible's numbers and typically say "I'm terrible at math and numbers so I could not learn Bible numbers". I'm terrible at math and numbers as well, but everyone can understand number patterns and that's what's most useful about numbering. IE: knowing every 1000th verse of the Bible has a special meaning is a bit of knowledge everyone can explore for themselves. Don't be afraid of numbering. I believe, one day soon, every Bible will be printed with information explaining what verse sequence numbers tell us about the text.
Why does this matter?
When you realize there are important patterns such as secret section divisions God has woven into the Bible, you will begin to search them out. Learning about them will cement your belief the Bible is truly a more divinely inspired book than anyone could have imagined. Thus, these evidences inspire us to search the Bible knowing it is the actual "Word of God" that has hidden meanings and clues to interpretation to be found everywhere you look. After confirming these patterns for yourself, you might consider the Bible a truly "supernatural" book in the most healthy way. Supernatural, meaning it is not of human creation, but created by the creator of all things...God!Note: In case you are wondering...I have never found a "hidden meaning" in the Bible's text that contradicts any aspect of scripture commonly known by Christians today. But the numbers do often reveal how to interpret text where we sometimes are not sure of what God is saying to us. Often, numbers in scripture reveal new truths about God's word and our world that were not previously known.
About this post
This post reveals the Holy Bible's cross book verse numbers have compelling meaning and that you will find a common theme running through verses with the same cross book verse numbers. The examples I include below reveal how the 998th, 999th and 1000th book verses have a common meaning related to the LORD saving and caring for his people (often, related to saving both the Jews and the Gentiles). I've included three verses from each of eleven Bible locations to help confirm each occurrence is not a result of an accidental similarity of meaning.

If you are new to this blog, you should know it is about presenting compelling and demonstrable evidence the Bible's numbers all have important meaning and that they are a wonderful aid to interpretation. That might not be news to you, but what's more incredible about the Bible's numbers is that even the book, chapter and verse numbers are divinely assigned and share the same common meanings as numbers in the text. Additionally, there are many God inspired types of numbers assigned to each Bible verse that are not printed in the Bible's we use today.
NUMBERS NOT PRINTED IN OUR BIBLES: First, there is a "Book Verse" number (BKVerse #) assigned to every verse of the Bible. This is simply a sequence number of each verse within a book. For example, the 777th verse of Genesis is Gen 28:3 "...God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou may be a multitude of people". #777 is a number of perfection and this verse's text reveals a special message of blessing and salvation for God's people. --- A second meaningful, but hidden number type is the cross-Bible verse sequence number (BVerse #). There 31,102 verses in the Holy Bible so the cross Bible verse number will be a number between 1 and 31,102.. A fun example of the Bible's cross bible verse number is the Bible's 3700th verse which happens to be in the book of Numbers is Num 3:7 "And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle". A verse about the Levite priests who will serve the LORD.
The Bible's 998th, 999th and 1000th Book Verses
In the example evidences below, I've included the 998th-1000th verses of all eleven Bible books that have more than 1000 verses. Bible numbers all have meaning. The meaning of number 998 and 999 throughout the Bible is about events coming just prior to last things; that will happen; that have happened; or even last words spoken about some topic. The number 1000 throughout the Bible is always associated with some sort of a transition event or division. That is, the number 1000 is always associated with a type of division in the text or message.In these examples, you should clearly see a transition in things that are happening in the text. For example, in the 1000th verse of Matthew (27:15) the trial of Jesus has ended and Jesus is then sent to his crucifixion. In the 1000th verse of Job (40:5) Job finally stops speaking and God begins challenging him from a voice in a whirlwind.
What to Look For and Experience
Of course, any of these examples might be explained in a contrived way to fit the author's impression of what the 1000th verses are all about. But what makes them truly compelling evidence's these are "God inspired" associations is that they are not from contrivable locations in scripture. Anyone can confirm they are truly the 1000th verse locations of Bible Books and these eleven examples include those from every book of the Bible containing 1000 verses.
What's left for you to evaluate is that these verses do, in fact, show they actually point out major transitions in the message of the text. That is, where before you might not have previously noticed, now that they are pointed out, these 1000th verse locations help reveal important events of the text that help us better understand its meaning.
Have fun seeing the miracle of numbering in God's Holy Bible?

As a believer I never want to mislead anyone in their understanding of the Bible and feel God will hold anyone accountable who misrepresents his word. I take this seriously. I've deeply studied numbers and patterns in the Bible for almost 20 years and it was no lesss than two years after happening on my first discoveries before I could convince myself they were not a figment of my imagination.If you find I'm wrong about anything I write, please do let me know. Of course, like anyone who reads God's Word, my interplretation of the text is subjective and may often be less than correct. But please do question any assumption I make about Bible patterns that can be demonstrated incorrect.
If you are blessed by these writings, let me know.
