Bible Question: Which is the middle chapter of Bible? |
Bible Answer: Hello rajesh005, As Steve has said, this is the center verse of the Bible. Now let me explain just how this is arrived at. A man said to his friend, "I want to be in the center of the will of God, but I don't know what to do?", his friend replied, "Perhaps advice on what to do could be found in the center of the Bible", "But how can one locate that", the first man replied, Well said his friend, "The Psalm's are around about the middle, could it be I wonder in between the shortest, 117, and the longest, 119?". It was decided to consider each Psalm as a Chapter, and to count how many Chapters there were from Genesis Ch1, up to and including Psalm 117, and then how many Chapters from and including Psalm 119, to the end of Revelation. The number in both cases turned out to be 594, confirming that Psalm 118, was indeed in the center, but what verse was in the center?. Then they added together 594 to 594, and got 1188. This they concluded was drawing their attention to verse 8 of Psalm 118, which reads. NASB - Psa 118:8 - It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. Not only did this man find the center verse of Scripture, but when he read it he also found the answer to his question, "I want to be in the center of the will of God, but I don't know what to do?". parpar. |
