Some things to chew upon.

Whilst I personally am not an advocate of the following sort of
stuff I will admit to its fascination:-
(1) Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire bible.
(2) Psalm 117, before Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter in the
bible.
(3) Psalm 119, after Psalm 118 is the longest chapter in the
bible.
(4) The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters
after Psalm 118.
(5) If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a
total of 1188 chapters.
(6) 1188 or Psalm 118 verse 8 is the middle verse of the entire
bible. Should the central verse not have a fairly important
message?
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."
- Psalm 118:8
Is this central verse not also the central theme of the entire
Bible?
Some Types in Scripture
Without denying the historical validity of the Old Testament in
any way,
CROSSING THE RED SEA is a picture of leaving the world (Egypt)
under the domain of the god of the age (Pharaoh) to be baptized
into Christ at the Red Sea crossing.
The WILDERNESS stands for Christian living under the law in the
power of the flesh.
CROSSING THE JORDAN stands for the truth of Galatians 2:20,
entering the land, (the Spirit-filled life); by renouncing self
and living thereafter in the power of the Spirit.
The ENEMIES in the LAND: CanaanITES, HivITES, JebusITES,
EdomITES, MoabITES are pictures of the flesh.
JACOB represents the average believer, deceiving and deceived.
ISRAEL is the man who wrestled with God (the Angel of the LORD),
and becomes changed as a result, a picture for us of
sanctification.
ESAU, the brother of JACOB is the father of the EDOMITES, hence
a picture of the flesh. Agag, Haman, and Herod are notable among
the descendants of Esau.
ASSYRIA represents lawlessness,
BABYLON, religious confusion and error.
The Old Testament pictures every believer as a king over the
kingdom of his (or her) life. Power to rule in righteousness is
given only as we subject ourselves to the King of kings, Jesus.

A good one :D
And many people will try to tell us that 'what is written is
what is written' and we only imagine things if we say that we
'see' anything that is 'deeper' in the scriptures!!
So many people are misimng SOoo much with their- " dont confuse
me with anything more that what the scripture says."

:) right
ask people like that how many children did Job have ?
and like the bible trivia game ; you get the answer ten --- just
like what the bible says
but whoops !!! the bible also said that Job had two sets of
these children
thus; the answer ten is not precise
because the first set of ten died ; but then he had another set
of ten
so the answer is twenty not ten
