Episode Sixteen

[spreaker type=standard width=100% autoplay=false episode_id=3566616]
The great sixteens of scripture. The number sixteen appears 23 times in 23 verses of the Bible once in the book of Acts. From Genesis to the gospel of John there are exactly 23 books containing a chapter 16. G-d hid his treasure in the old and reveals it in the new within the first four gospels which is the heart of the Bible. These four gospels reveals G-d’s heart. Coincidentally 23 + 16 = 39 the number of books found in the old testament. Leaving four more books containing a sixteenth chapter in the new testament Acts 16:1-40, Romans 16:1-27, 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 , and Revelation 16:1-21. Take the 4 left over and add them to the 23 = 27 the number of books found in the New Testament.

What does it all mean? It means G-d engineered the Bible. Why look in any other book when this one still has great treasures to be found?
