God has His hand in all our ways:
"For in him we live, and move, and have our being"
(Acts of the Apostles 17:28).
"Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?" (Job 31:4).
"...even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." (Luke 12:7).
God has His hand in numbers:
For example: The pharisees said that they built the temple in 46 years (John 2:20). Coincidentally we have 46 chromosomes in our bodies. In the 46th book of the Bible we read, "“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost...” (1 Corinthians 3:16). The words "
the bread" appears 46 times in the Bible. Jesus refers to how the bread at the Lord's supper is his body broken for us (And Jesus referred to his body as a temple). "The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" (1 Corinthians 10:16). The word "
vessel" appears 46 times in the Bible. The phrase “
temple of” (think about an empty temple or vessel) is found 46 times in the Bible. (Note: The word count is confirmed by PureKingJamesBible Search software,
