What a Awesome God we Serve

We are at awe what of God can do. Sometimes we just say wow when we see God working in us. I praise him on a daily basis and give him glory he deserves. There are two things I would like to tell how awesome our God is, maybe you can share some with us too.:applause::yay:

Jerusalem is the center of the earth!

In that day shall Israel be � a blessing in the midst of the earth (Isa. 19:24).

Ezekiel 38:12 speaks of the people of Israel as those "that dwell in the midst of the land" (King James Version). The latter phrase is better translated as "the navel of the earth." Many Bible commentators have interpreted this verse to mean that the land of Israel is located at the geographical center of the earth�s land surfaces.

There are also the various references to "the four corners of the earth," or better "the four quarters of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12; Revelation 7:1; Revelation 20:8). This is standard terminology for directional identification by which land areas are divided into four quadrants (northeast, northwest, southwest, southeast), with the "origin of coordinates" or "center," from which directions are measured, being placed at the focal point of interest. Invariably, in Scripture, this focal point, to which all directions are oriented, is assumed to be in Israel, or even more specifically, at Jerusalem.

It is significant that these "Bible lands" were not only the center of dispersion of the nations after the Flood when God told those who had been saved to go out and multiply and "fill the earth," but were also the center of dispersion of the news of redemption, when God told those who had been saved to go out into "all the world" with this witness. Once again, the interest of maximum efficiency in the accomplishment of God�s work of grace would have been best served, other things being equal, by seeing that this center of evangelistic outreach was established near the earth�s geographic center.



Creation of the Bible

What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? Psalms 177

What is the longest chapter in the Bible? Psalms 119

Which chapter is in the center of the Bible? Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

Add these numbers up and you get 1188

What is the center verse in the Bible? Psalms 118:8

Does this verse say something significant about God�s perfect will for our lives?

The next time someone says they would like to find God�s perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of his will, just send them to the center of his Word!

Psalms 118:8 �It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.�

Now isn�t it odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?
