Dear ebrain: Thanks for responding. Indeed there is sagacity in Psalm 118:8 regardless of the method one uses to arrive at it! ..... You may be acquainted with the numerological tale of Shakespeare and Psalm 46. The Authorized Version was printed the same year that William Shakespeare turned 46. If one counts down from the beginning of Psalm 46, the 46th word is "shake." If he counts up from the end of the Psalm, the 46th word is "spear." Is the connection with the Bard merely coincidental or did the translators, or even the Bard himself, have a hand in it? ..... I've followed your posts with interest and take this opportunity to bid you a belated welcome to this Forum. I note that hail from the UK. So did my great-grandfather who came to America from Birmingham, England and settled in Birmingham, Alabama. --Hank | ||||||

Thank you again Hank, this time for your kind words of welcome. I am a little older than you having been born in December 1931. Oh! and by the way I must be half American, as my father was born in the States. I was not aware of the possible connection between our National Poet,and Psalm 46, thank's for that, it's most interesting. Allow me to share with you somthing about the No 7 which I understand indicates Divine perfection, and completion. A number of years ago I found myself wondering if Biblical numbers could also be found in other translations, for example English. To this end I looked at the very first verse in the Bible namely Gen Ch 1 v 1, and decided to try 'created' as it has 7 leters, (in Hebrew only 4 letters). God said 'I am the first and the last', Hebrew does not have a seperate set of shapes for numbers as we do in English, but ascribes to each letter a number, A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, and so on, now just suppose that we had the same, then the first and the last letters of 'created' would have a value of 3 and 4 which when added together make 7. Now suppose we give neumeric values to all the letters, and add them up, then the total is 308, a number that can be divided exactly by 7 whith none left over. Note, After the 10th letter J, the next K is 20, L is 30, M is 40, and so on up to 100, and then the next is 200 etc, etc. How about that then 3 lots of severn's, and what does 3 indicate but Trinity More later, the Lord bless you,and yours. ebrain. |
