The Chapters of Isiah/The Books of the Bible Parallel

[1Timothy316]

There are 66 chapters in Isiah, as there is 66 books in the Bible.

The Bible is divided between the first 39 books of the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the New Testament.

In the Book of Isiah, after the 39th chapter(representative of the OT) , the 40th chapter begins with:

Isaiah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Foreshadowing John the Baptist at the exact book representing of the beginning of the NT.

Not only that. But the same words " The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, are repeated in "Matt.3;3"

The words are first used in the "40th" chapter of Isaiah in the "3d" verse.

The words are then used in the "40th" book of the Bible called Matthew and in the "3d chapter 3d verse." Matt.3;3

Amen, Dana. I would not be surprised if the other books and chapters run parallel to each other.

Interestingly, verse numbering was added after the fact, thus showing God's continued hand at work. Glory to the Lamb

Here are two more pages on this subject that i have put onto charts. This is only information for others to examine and continure studing. I have not yet found an end to it in my studies.

Yes, they say the verse numbers were added later. Well i believe as you that God has continued to influence what he would to the Bible's glory.

Hi Dana, no offense, but would you not hijack this thread with a subject that does not have anything to do with the original post. It would be nice if your edited your posts and created your own thread.

You got it wrong. I'm not "hijacking" but i'm hitchhiking. Big difference. The hijacker takes all. But i'm only here for the moment and then oops, i'm gone!

Okay, moving on from the rude person, and back to the topic

There are 66 chapters in Isiah, as there is 66 books in the Bible.

The "problem" is that the chapter divisions are not inspired. As originally written, Isaiah is just one long text string.

So then your saying that the actual human "scribes" designed the Bible verses to correspond so significatly? Wow, they sure were good.

i don't think human cound have arranged what this threat is discussing. So who did it if, as you seem to insinuate above, God didn't.

Unless you include the Deuterocanonicals.

There's nothing mystical about the number of chapter divisions in Isaiah and the number of books in the modern Protestant Canon. It's just a happy coincidence.

I respectfully disagree, CryptoLutheran, with both your including of books from outside the KJV, and your denial of Bible parallels.

No, I'm not saying that. The human editors (specifically Langton, Nathan, and Stephanus) simply inserted chapter/verse numbers where they seemed most appropriate. They did a fairly good job, although there are some divisions that strike me as odd. My whole point is that God breathed out the text; He didn't breathe out the chapter numbers, verse numbers, punctuation marks, etc. What some people seem to do now is take the current divisions and read into them some significance, where none was really designed.

I respectfully disagree. I do not put God in a box. If God wants the verses of the Bible to line up, it would be done.

How did he manage to have the verse Isa.40;3 be in the 40th Bible book Mathew? How did he manage to have this verse exactly in Matt.3;3?

How did the seventh book of the Bible end up being "Judges?" How did it end up with Noah sitting out the flood exactly for the chapter 7, and then coming out of the ark exactly on Gen.8;1? This was a generation of 7 chapters and then a new beginning with Gen.8;1. This all follows the original Genesis Creation Story pattern. But the number came later so who arranged this amazing display?

Who had the numbers 144,000 placed in the 7th, 14th and 21st chapters of Revelation? Could people have actually sat doun and somehow designed this? No they could not.

Who put Micah and Nahum as the exact center of the Old Testament Hebrew Bible and of the Protestant 66 book Bible? Is that why the English alphabet also has it's center between the "M" and the "N"? Which came first. The Hebrew alphabet also has the "Mum" and "Num" as it's center!

I can't remember any more just off hand right now. But the numbers of the Chapters and of the verses and the order of the Bible's books show an arrangement which no man could have planned. So who did it, man or God?

The King James was originally printed with the Deuterocanonicals.

I also fail to see why having 66 chapters in Isaiah and 66 books in the modern Protestant Canon should be seen as anything more than a coincidence. Why read something into it that isn't there?

Exactly! Why does everything have to be some sort of a hidden code.
