Subject: Number 216 |
Bible Note: Doc, being the scholar that I am, I've assigned my mind to the task of discovering the true meaning of the number 216. My research led me to a little copy of the New Testament, King James Version, which I've owned for some 60 years, since I was 10 years old. I turned to page 216 and counted down from the top of the page until I came to the 216th word. It was the word "may." Eureka! I exclaimed. That's it. The number 216 means "may." Moreover, for additional proof, as if any were needed, when one adds the components of 216, i.e., 2, 1, and 6, the answer is 9, and "may" is the 9th word in the verse, as well as being the 216th word on page 216. What more proof could anyone possibly ask for? ..... It's hard to describe the sensation I felt upon making this astounding discovery. The best I can do is compare it to the overwhelming wave of emotion that comes over one when he dips his finger in a pail of water and detects a distinctive sensory perception of wetness. ..... Now I recognize that some people will not agree with my findings when they engage in their own research. They may well find that the 216th word on page 216 of their New Testaments is not "may." But that in no way invalidates the fruits of my research nor diminishes the sheer force and unimpeachable truth of my discovery. All it means is simply that they are using the wrong copy of the New Testament. Mine is correct because it is mine. And it is THE King James Version, the same one Peter, Paul and Mary used. --Hank |
