Hidden lessons you can find in the Bible - The Bible’s 322nd book verses warn against trusting our salvation in worldly things

Great lessons in sets of like numbered verses. IE The Bible’s 322nd verses warn against trusting our salvation in other than the LORD Jesus Christ

There are 29 books of the Bible that have a 322nd verse, that is, there are just 29 King James Bible books that have at least 322 verses. Patterns in God's Word reveal that each different set of like cross-book verse numbers contain a discernible lesson for us. See the examples below to experience the amazing similarities in a single sub-theme found in verse sets.

Below I’ve shown 14 of them that all seems to contain a sub-theme about those that jeopardize their eternal life by trusting it to other than the LORD Jesus Christ. You can examine every unique set of verses with the same cross Bible verse numbers and discern a different lesson. This can also be done consistently with verses with like chapter and verse numbers.

When you examine all these 322 verses you gain a deeper understanding of how critical it is to depend on Jesus for salvation. These contain several examples of what happens to those who are deceived and put their trust in worldly things.

LESSON BKVerse #322: Death to those who put their trust in other than Jesus... 

Showing 14 of 29 verses with a cross book verse number of 322

Mrk 8:37 "For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Eze 16:24 that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every square.

2Chr 16:7 …"Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God,…

Judg 11:2 ……"You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman"

Dan 11:23 "After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, …

Psa 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

Prov 12:3 A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.

Matt 11:7 As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak..about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? (men putting their trust in John)

Luke 7:20 …"John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?' " (men putting their trust in John, note this is very similar to the 322^nd verse of Matthew – 11:7)

John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.' "

Act 9:29 And he was..arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death.

1Cor 14:7 Yet even lifeless things… if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? (a distinction in what/who we believe in?)

It is very interesting that the 323rd book verse at 1Cor 14:8 contains a like message. Compare 322 book verses to 323 bookverses... 1Cor 14:8 For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 

Rev 19:2 …He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality,…

Lev 13:15 "The priest shall look at the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.

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.

777, 37 and 73 -- Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord... Numerical evidence only God could have written and structured the Bible

I my previous post I wrote about how KJV Biblical number patterns reveal that the #777 is about things that are "set apart", holy, consecrated, saved or very closely related topics. In a post last year I wrote about there only being four cross Bible verse numbers with sequence numbers including 7777 - these are the 7777th, 17777, and 27777 Bible verses (there are 31,102 verses in the King James Bible). Incredibly these three verses all refer to these same themes of being Holy, sanctified, consecrated, or set apart. (http://amazingword.blogspot.com/2010/03/jerusalem-mount-moriah-777-meters.html). This same blog post notes that Mount Moriah, the mountain where Jesus was Crucified is 777 meters in altitude.All of these are incredible evidences for the supernatural authorship of God's Word.
I can also show a long list of additional evidences for this 777 relationship to Holiness. Regarding another number related to 777, in other posts I have  demonstrated that the numbers 37 and 73 are closely related to 777. Bible patterns contain clear evidence that these numbers (which seem about about "three sevens") have very much the same symbolic theme of holiness, salvation, sanctification, perfection and being saved. Consider these evidences for this 777 theme when looking at this new compelling discovery pointing to the supernatural structuring and numbering of the KJV...

A new discovery being revealed? -- #777, #37 and "Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD..."

A discovery I just observed again this month is that of two very unique Bible verses are incredibly related to the holiness of God and their sequence numbering in the Bible confirms the relationship of the #777 to this theme of Holiness::

Isa 6:3 And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory." (the 17773rd verse of the KJV)

Rev 4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME." (the 30777th verse of the KJV)

The verses at Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8 are the only two verses in the Bible that make this statement "Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD". With all the other examples of the incredible DNA like perfection of the numbering and structure of God's Word, it simply cannot be coincidence that these two unique and highly related verses are the 17773rd and 30777th sequentially numbered verses in the 1611 King James Bible "Authorized Version". Both sequence numbers are very unique in that they contain the same numeric digits.

Note how these cross Bible verse numbers both have the textual theme of the Holiness of God and are both associated with the numbers 777 and 37. I contend that there's likely only three reasons one would dismiss these number/verse relationships as the product of chance; 1st, God could still be hiding this fact of the King James (and like numbered) bibles until a time when he is ready to reveal it; 2nd, it is simply so impossible for us to imagine that God could somehow have supernaturally numbered his Bible and people don't care enough to verify if it is true); lastly, some just don't want to acknowledge God in any way - they will not consider the facts pointing to a supernatural God right before their eyes.

If God is not hiding this supernatural numbering from you, then carefully ponder the incredible Bible numbering presented here. I have included a copy of the Numbered King James Bible on my website (http://www.amazingword.com/Page_KJV_numbered_Bible_Links.html) and encourage you to count the Bible verses yourself if you have doubts in the numbering I show. I know this sounds like a huge effort to go to in order to verify your doubts, but consider -- what if your counting effort proves these claims to be true? I think you will also come away being astounded at what God has done - The Bible truly is the spirit breathed Word of God.

1The 2:13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

Not Four Spiritual Laws, but Ten Steps of Redemption in the Bible

The Ten-Part Redemption Pattern

I

n 1956 Bill Bright, of Campus Crusade for Christ, developed the “Four Spiritual Laws” as a way to communicate the concise message of Christianity to the unchurched world. These four precepts were communicated as a brief story that laid out God’s basic message for the world.

Campus Crusade’s Four Spiritual Laws

1.         Law One: God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.

2.         Law Two: Man is sinful and separated from God, thus cannot know and experience God’s plan for his life.

3.         Law Three: Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

4.         Law Four: We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

            If you ask a Christian about God’s plan for the world he likely will recite some version of these laws. These four steps are a great way to begin to explain God’s most basic plan of salvation, but they fall short of being a full picture of the plan God has for us. If we attend a typical new members’ class at just about any church we will get a more extensive version of these laws, but in the absence of knowing God’s specific plan, there are as many ways to explain this, as there are those who teach it. Like this four step plan, it appears God has left his own plan of salvation written in the pattern and structure of every aspect of the Bible; every list; every chapter, every verse; every number and likely every letter of his Word. The symbolism of the numbers 1-10 correspond to the text associated with them. Not only is the plan present in the Bible, it is confirmed and pointed out by the numerics of God's Word.

God Has Written His Own Ten-step Plan of Salvation

After so many years of reading Scripture and trying to discern in our own way what God’s plan is for our lives, now we possibly find that God has actually written out his ten-step plan of redemption and spread it throughout His Word as a set of instructions to explain our path with him. Like Campus Crusade’s Four Spiritual Laws, these ten redemption pattern themes explain in more detail the steps we should understand and follow if we are to become one of his faithful servants.

            I refer to the ten steps as God’s Redemption Pattern, and it could be thought of as God’s “Ten Spiritual Laws.”  The Redemption Pattern is an amazing structural organization underlying all text in the Bible. The following list is my basic way of communicating the concepts of the Redemption Pattern. These are very high level concepts which are found in different symbolic ways throughout scripture. This list represents the positive symbolism associated with each step - there is also an opposite or negative side to each one of them as well. The basic symbolism of the ten steps are:

1. God/Creation - We learn we are separated apart from God due to sin - each to its kind

2. Jesus - That God has appointed and sent a deliverer/redeemer who did come for us

3. Holy Spirit - He is holy and righteous - We learn about God's spirit in our midst

4. Fallen Creation - We seen men are lost in the wilderness without God (40 and 40 years, 40 days)

5. Covenant Statutes and Ordinances - Instructions we must know before entering the promised land

6. Sin/Redemption - Crossing over - Each person has to have courage and take steps to cross over with God going before us. Admitting our sin and turning from it.

7. Becoming complete - The Good shepherd tends his sheep with rod and staff. Accepting Jesus is just the first step, then he leads, guides, and disciplines us in our growth.

8. A new beginning/The Godly remnant - blessed/saved by God - 8 saved in the ark; baptism; circumcision. We reach a point where we are dedicated servants, prepared to serve Jesus.

9. The Future - Things to happen; waiting and serving faithfully until Jesus return. Once we are servants, we have a responsibility to serve and persevere until we are one day with Jesus. #9 is also related to rapture or events such as being taken up.

10. Last Things - The Day of the Lord; Judgment and wrath await unbelievers, while believers will enjoy the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. #10 also seems associated with the Jews coming to know Jesus and being saved.

God Wrote the Bible to Mirror the Ten Steps

As God has inspired the text of the Bible, he has also caused every number and list and all other parts of scriptures to be written in a structure that reflects the ten steps in his plan for man. God repeats his plan over and over again in his word. As well as being a constant reminder of the walk, it also gives us a rich set of tools that help us understand where we are on the growth path and what the objectives are at each step along the way.

Each of the ten points in God’s pattern is associated with the numbers one to ten. Although the pattern is not about numbers, God associates numbers with each point in the pattern. Every number in the Bible can be broken down into its separate numeric digits, and the association of these digits to God’s plan.In a mysterious way I find hard to explain, any combination of numbers seems to relate directly to equivalent themes found in associated text. The Bible's numbers act as a way to validate the perfection of God's Word; guide us in our understanding what is says; give us deep insights into the meaning of the text; and I suspect (once we understand them), are likely a key to understanding Bible prophecy. I don't think we will ever fully understand the numbers, but I believe one day God will show us how his entire plan was precisely coded right before our eyes in the scriptures.

A Great Guide and Evidence for the Pattern - the 1st Ten Full Bible Books

We discover the perfection of the Bible and validate the Redemption Pattern by seeing it throughout the scriptures; in the books of the Bible; in lists such as the ten commandments; in sections of important passages such as the ten parts of the Lord's Prayer; in symbolism of the Bible's numbers found in the text, and many other places. The pattern is everywhere - so to confirm it, we simply observe it in a consistent way in every part of scripture.

When I first looked to see if the pattern could be seen in the messages of the books of the Bible, I was puzzled because the symbolism did not seem to fit after the 9th book - 1Samuel. After much struggling about how the pattern could be imperfect here, it came to me (I suspect God's spirit guided me) that maybe the pattern of the text would fit the pattern of Bible book numbering if I would count the books differently than we traditionally do. I later learned that if Icounted all the split books (like 1st and 2nd Samuel) as a single book,  the pattern fell perfectly into place in the numbers of all books of the Bible.

I can only speculate as to the reason, but it seems the Bible is structured intentionally by God with two sets of book numbers; the normal 66 book count we know today; and another hidden count of 57 books that counts split books as a single book. Using this 57 book count, we then have one of the best evidences for God's perfect ten part redemption pattern found in the Bible. The text and messages of  1st ten books fit the pattern and symbolism I presented above. The following list shows the number, the basic concept associated with the number, and how the text of the book seems to validate and itself be confirmed by the number association.

1. God - Genesis - creation and how men are continually separated from God and keep getting separated into groups that either follow God's ways or do not. Consider the 1st Bible chapter where everything is separated by their own kind. One is about being counted - as an individual member of some overall category or kind.
2. Redeemer Sent - Exodus - Moses is sent by God to free his people and begin them on their journey to the promised land. Number two seems about relationship/love and being joined.
3. Holiness of God/Holy Spirit - Leviticus - where we learn of the holiness and perfection of God and how we can have God living in our midst. We must understand our sin and God's holiness.
4. Wilderness Wandering - Numbers - Israel wandered in the desert for almost 40 years (4) suffering in trials and being cleansed in the process - finally ready to enter the promised land. An example of our wandering without God that hopefully will result in our seeking him.
5. Statutes and Covenants - Deuteronomy - Why were the ten commandments repeated in Deuteronomy? I suspect because before the people can enter the promised land, they must know the requirements for entering, and understand the consequences of not doing things God's way. It is the same for us - before we can enter the special places of our inheritance, we must understand what is required of us (I'm not necessarily speaking of basic salvation here, but something deeper).
6. Sin and Redemption/Crossing over - Joshua - once we understand what we are commanded to do, we are to cross over the water (Moses in the Basket/The Jordan/The Flood/Sea of Galilee...) knowing God goes before us. We must have the courage to take the steps. We are recognizing our sin, turning from it (at least that's our intention) and in the process, are being redeemed.
7. Becoming Complete - Judges - Although the people tried to rid of the strongholds of sin in the promised land (Joshua) - they failed to completely do so. They have more work to do to become complete. This represents a repeated process we go through in our lives of trying to do things God's way, failing and the Lord continuing to be faithful to redeem over and over again - until one day we are ready to become fully his. We see this trying and failing pattern repeated many times in the book of Judges, until at some point that God decides, we become a faithful godly servants - we see this in the next book - Ruth..
8. Godly/faithful servants - Ruth - Upon becoming complete (at least complete enough), we become like Naomi and Ruth who have returned from Moab back to the promised land and become a blessing to others. Boaz (Jesus) redeems us with a price and we become his.
9. (The Future) Faithful servants persevering until Jesus return - Samuel - Once we become a faithful servant we are to be serving the Lord while we await his future return. Every step of the Redemption Pattern has it's positive and negative side, and in the books of 1/2 Samuel we find examples of both - successful and unsuccessful servants of God - Saul and David. These are our examples of how to serve God well, and what not serving him well looks like.
10. Last/Final Things/Salvation vs Judgment - 1st/2nd Kings - In the 9000th verse of the Bible the temple was completed; God entered it; and we then find the Lord standing before his people (1Kings 8:14). A pattern that seems to show what Jesus return will look like. Following Jesus standing before the people, the remaining chapters of 1/2 Kings tell us of the history of events leading to the final judgments and exiles of Israel. This tenth book representing the tenth step of the redemption pattern seems to show the judgment that will one day we will all participate in.

 The first ten books of the Bible are maybe the best explanation and guide to the redemption pattern I know of - but this is just the beginning of an endless list of examples. Another great evidence can be observed in the first ten chapters of the first book of the Bible. In Genesis chapters 1-10 we find the same number/text pattern we find in the first ten books of the Bible. They are: Creation/separation by kind (chapter 1); Adam/man sent (2); sin and separation from God (3); wilderness wandering begins/Cain (4); summary of blessings/curses of generations (5); God fed up with man's sin and instructions to build the ark (6); the cleansing flood (7); the remnant of 8 saved (8); The covenant with Noah and future generations/the rainbow (9); and the judgment/separations of nations at Babel (10).

I'm really not a Bible expert and don't claim to totally understand all about God's Redemption Pattern, but I think I'm in the ballpark (pretty close). If you disagree with my explanation that's fine, more importantly, recognize the pattern exists and is there to guide us in our understanding of God and his instructions for our salvation. In past and future blog entries I try to explain more about God's pattern and related number symbolism.

The Bible's chapter numbers are one of the best ways to confirm number symbolism

In my online Bible I have added a few short descriptions for Genesis chapters 1-10 that help show the relationship of the Bible's Redemption Pattern ten steps to the its first ten chapters, and first ten books. Follow the link and look at the descriptions at the top of each chapter to consider this number/text relationship..

http://www.amazingword.com/awbible_01_genesis.htm#Gen 1

I've also added links to Job chapters 36-42 that show how the Lord's appearance in these chapters compare to the future Day of the Lord when Jesus returns. This is people's (Israel/Jew's) last chance to; realize Jesus is the Son of God; confess their wickedness; repent/turn from their sin; bow to Jesus; and be saved. This is an act of weakness before God - not one to be resentful of, but one that acknowledges our sinful status status before God.
