Psalm 118:8... Center of the Bible, and much much more

by David of Marion

I'm always hearing people talk about how the bible is phony. About how it was written by a bunch of old fogies a thousand years ago and pertains to nothing of the present. Well, I'm here to tell these people that love nothing more than to diss the bible that they don't know shit. I think that people take things out of context a little too much. It's like people that don't believe in God because they can't see God when all they have to do is open their eyes a little wider and stop being so closed minded. You come to expect things like this in a world where only what's on the outside matters more than what's on the inside. Where appearances are dominate over content. People that look past the bibles encryption and take it's message way too literally. The bible is one of the most encrypted books in existence. Many of the messages inside are meant to be taken in a metaphorical manner, not literal. Some people look at the prophecies, such as Revelations, and call their descriptions absolutely ridiculous. Well, try being a 1st century man and describing 21st century life. But more to the point of this thread: The book of Psalms.

The book of Psalms is arguably one of the most important books in the bible because it teaches many valuable lessons of LIFE. The most important lesson is the exact center of the bible. It has been mathematically proven that PSALMS chapter 118 verse 8 is the split center of the bible, both old and new testament combined. Psalms chapter 117 is the shortest chapter of any book in the entire bible. Psalms chapter 119 is the longest chapter of any book in the entire bible. Now, there are exactly 594 chapters before Psalm chapter 118 and exactly 594 chapters after Psalm 118. And if you add those numbers together, excluding chapter 118, you get 1,188. Which equals- Psalm 118:8

"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man"-Psalm 118:8

Now what does this tell us? That God is in control of everything. I take refuge in the Lord, and I don't need to trust in someone else and what they believe God to be. I have more reasons to believe what I believe than this^. So believe what you will. That's why you were given you the `free will' and the `conscience' that no other creature on this planet seemingly possesses.

Thank you, and God bless you all.
