We have heard it said that the eighth verse of Psalms one hundred and eighteen is the middle verse of the Bible. Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. This led us to go through each of the 66 books of the Bible and count each of the verses carefully in their chapters to see if it were so. We found that there are 31,102 verses in the King James Bible. Thus, there is no single middle verse. A middle verse cannot be attained with an even number. However, there are two middle verses. These would be verses 15,551 and 15,552 {Psalms 103:1-2.} Total verses: 31,102. 3+1+1+0+2 = 7 Seven - a number signifying Completeness
LESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: These are the middle two verses of the King James Bible. Both verses start with "Bless the LORD, O my soul". Verse 1 continues - and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Verse 2 concludes with - and forget not all his benefits. There are twenty-eight words in these two middle verses - 4 x 7 = 28 . Seven being the number of completeness .
The centre words of God's middle verses {bless his holy name} There are twelve words on either side of this verse. The King James Bible has bless his holy name right in the centre of the two middle verses! When we come to the number twelve we're on solid ground. There are twelve saved nations in eternity. Deuteronomy 32:7-8 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. The twelve children of Israel have breastplates of stone that represent them back in making the breastplates in the book of Exodus. Twelve stars on the woman in Revelation 12 represent the twelve tribes. Twelve gates for the tribes. Twelve foundations for the apostles in the New Jerusalem. Twelve manner of fruits for the nations who are numbered after the number of the tribes. The list goes on... The number twelve is a reference to Israel.
