Some Interesting Bible Facts....
The shortest chapter in the Bible:
Psalms 117; with only 2 verses!

The longest chapter in the Bible:
Psalms 119; with 176 verses!

The chapter that is in the center of the Bible:
Psalms 118

There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118.

There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118.

Add up the 594 plus 594, and you get 1188.

Now what is the center verse in the Bible?
Answer - Psalms 118:8

"It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put
confidence in man. "
( Psalms 118:8 )
"A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing." ~ Martin Luther

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:3-4

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
2 Peter 2:1-3

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears."

Re: Some Interesting Bible Facts....
The original 9 Knights Templar camped out on the ruins of Solomon's Temple (Zerubbabel's Temple, Herod I's Temple) for 9 years 1119-1128 and excavated there. They also found the Jesus Family Tomb in East Talpoit between Bethlehem & Jerusalem. The scrolls they found at the Temple Mount contained great knowledge re: ancient mysteries, sacred geometry & gematria, etc., and one scroll confirmed that Y'shua bar Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph) was married to Mariamne (Mary Magdalen) and that his birthday was 17/4/747 Roman Calendar or April 17, 6 BC and hers was 8/5/781 AUC or May 8, 2 BC.

This knowledge has been passed on through oral tradtion to select Freemasons since the Knights Templar were forced to go 'underground' beginning with the arrest of many of them on Friday the 13th October 1307.

Yes it does not matter what a man has or is in no matter what his state is .....nothing will delight him more than money....that is why it the love of it is the root of all evil..it is the thingy they lust and love after.

They will sale their soul for it or his own brother or their or their liqueur bottle....sad but even the Lord was sold for money.

The love of money is the root of all evil yes it is yes it is and in this world there is no peace nothing good and no good man...only the Lord and all that is the Lords..outside this no good at all....unless it is in the Lord.

Re: Some Interesting Bible Facts....
"As above, so below" - the sacred geometry of two 14 day periods in lunar month

In 7 BC (746 AUC), Caesar Augustus and his advisors appear to have chosen to dissect the City of Roma into 14 regions based on, "As above, so below", which is the primary concept behind the practice of sacred geometry - an important aspect of the ancient mysteries which were practiced by the ancient Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Hebrews, Sumerians, Persians, etc. The phases of the Moon's 29.5 day cycle were very important to the ancients! It was clear to everyone around the world that it was easy to halve the lunar month into 14-day periods between the new moon and full moon, and halve those into 4 7-day weeks.

This 'number from nature' as reflected in Pagan Roma's 14 regions is probably also the basis of why "in 1731, Pope Clement XII extended to all churches the right to have the stations of the Cross… At that same time the number was fixed at 14" - Wikipedia.
