Splitting the Apple

 Splitting the Apple

 

Introduction

One sign of a genuine code is symmetry and mirroring. Symmetrical patterns in a dataset of numbers one might reasonably assume to be random are rare and therefore their repeated appearance in the Bible is an indicator of design, rather than chance.

In The Bookend Encodings I show how the beginnings and endings of both testaments in the NIV '84 are encoded with a suite of numbers summarising the greatest event in history, the Second Coming of Christ. 

In Bisecting the Bible I show how the middle verses of the NIV Bible, Psalm 102.21-22 (the total number of verses in even, so there are two middle verses) are encoded with more numbers proclaiming Christ's second coming.

All of these encodings display structural symmetry. For example the codes at the beginning and ending of each testament display an 18-14-14-18 pattern, which is unlikely to have been dumped there by the winds of chance. The number 18 (reduced value of 'love') also features in the encodings in Psalm 102, 21-22, the midpoint by verse. 

But there are more midpoints in the Bible to explore:

1. The midpoints of the OT and NT by verse.

2. The midpoints of the OT and Bible by chapter.

These show the extent to which symmetry and mirroring have been applied In the weaving of the New Bible Code.

 

The Midpoints by Verse

The midpoint of the entire NIV Bible by verse having already been explored, let's turn to the individual testaments In that version.

The midpoint of the Old Testament by verse is 

The midpoint of the New Testament by verse is 

 

The Midpoints by Chapter

The midpoint of the Old Testament by chapter is 

The Midpoint of the NIV Bible by chapter is
